Mountains have trees and trees have branches

Chapter 42
Qing laughed.

"Brother Xiliang, I don't understand what you mean,"

She raised her eyes to look at him with a calm face, "You have made a choice, I am not trusted by you. I just follow your will and return our relationship to what it should be. You are so angry and come to me. I do not understand."

Musi was shocked.

Qing Huan said to herself, "Brother Xiliang, you know I've always been lazy, and maintaining a complicated relationship is not my strong point. I don't want to be embarrassed when I meet you in the future, so this matter ends here, you don't have to come to me again, Let's just be ordinary people, you are the eldest son of the Mu family, and I am the daughter of Chief of Staff Fu Yunting, I let go, and I will never call you brother Xiliang again, this is the last time."

She raised her hand and broke free from his grip bit by bit. Mu Xiliang was stunned for a moment, and grabbed her tightly.

"Qing Huan, I can explain that my real purpose of going to Qingqiu needs to be kept a high degree of secrecy. Mei Jing and I are just afraid that if you find out first, you won't be able to fool everyone, so we talked about keeping it from you."

Fang Meijing!
The calm face just now began to crumble bit by bit.

Qing Huan sighed and lowered his eyes.

"Brother Xiliang, everyone says you are smart, and your IQ and EQ are higher than others. I used to think that I was different from others in your heart. Now I know, I was deceiving myself. If you care about me at all, you don't care about me." would hurt me so much."

Those moods, those years when she liked him, now only become full of irony.

If it was her, they would switch identities, even if he didn't like Mu Xiliang, she would never use another man to hurt him.

"Brother Xiliang, what do you think of me?"

She looked at him seriously, neither angry nor self-willed.

She really wanted to know what Mu Xiliang thought of her.

The words Mu Xiliang had planned to coax her into explaining to her, met her eyes, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Do you think of me as your sister? Have you ever asked me if I want to be your sister?"

Mu Xiliang's lips moved, but no sound came out.

Qing Huan wanted to cry, but she smiled.

She sighed, eyes full of exhaustion, "Forget it, I was too angry just now, so I said something bad. Brother Xiliang, even if this matter is over, let's not bring it up again, okay?"

Mu Xiliang's eyes trembled.

He has a lot to say, but can't say a word.

He suddenly realized that the girl in front of him was a little strange.

"Qing Huan, I'm really sorry, I will do whatever you want me to do, as long as you don't get angry with me again."

Mu Xiliang felt unreasonable fear in his heart.

He eagerly looked into Qing Huan's eyes, wanting to get some reassurance, but she squinted and smiled, her eyes were calm and unwavering, and she couldn't see anything.

There is no dependence from the past, and there is no starlight in the eyes when facing him.

"Okay, it's all said and done,"

Qing Huan glanced at the yard, it had snowed for several days, and today it finally cleared up.

"I should have kept you at home for dinner, but I just came back and I have something to do. I brought gifts for you, Daddy and Madam. I will go to the official residence tomorrow, so I won't keep you today."

She behaved perfectly normally, but the panic in Mu Xiliang's heart continued unabated.

He still wanted to say something, but when he saw Shang Qinghuan's smiling face, he felt that everything was gone, and after a pause, he turned and left the living room without turning his head.

After sending off Mu Xiliang, Qing Huan was dazed for a while.

She stood there for a while, then mechanically found a seat and sat down.

He lowered his head, his fingers trembling slightly, trying to hold them together, but he couldn't use the strength.

Fu Yunting came down from upstairs, sat beside her, looked at her for a long time, and said, "If you do this, you won't be afraid that you and Xiliang will drift apart?"

Qing Huan glanced at the direction Mu Xiliang was leaving expressionlessly, and it took a long time before she said, "If he can't even pass this test, then even if we can be together with him in the future, it won't last long."

Fu Yunting subconsciously looked at his daughter, his face should have been young and immature, but it was mature and composed, he even saw a sense of vicissitudes on Qing Huan's face.

Fu Yunting shook his head, "Who is your personality like?"

Doing things so decisively, although dredging the bottom is the most effective way, but at her age...

"Qing Huan, aren't you afraid? You have to know that if you do this, there is a half chance that Xi Liang will be pushed to Fang Meijing's side. If that's the case, what should you do?"

Qing Huan was silent for a while, then spit out a few words, "I bet he won't."

Fu Yunting was startled, and after a long while, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Meeting you in Xiliang, I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune. Qing Huan, you are too cruel to men, well, Xiliang is so pitiful."

From that day on, Mu Xiliang felt that everything had changed.

Qing Huan still went to the official residence as usual.

She no longer deliberately avoids him, and she will joke with him when encountering jokes.

She still called him Brother Xiliang, and she still followed him back and forth.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are nothing more than normal.

But only Mu Xiliang knew that there was a big mountain between him and Qing Huan.

Although she was still smiling at him, there was no trace of him in her eyes.

She artificially created an invisible distance between him and her. When he took a step forward, he took a step back. It became impossible for him to touch her and hug her like before.

No one would believe it, but Qing Huan told him in her unique way that she had abandoned him from the bottom of her heart.

The three most important men in Qing Huan's life, Fu Yunting, Mu Zhonglin and him, are still three now, but his name has been crossed out, and there will be other men to fill his vacancy in the future.

Mu Xiliang imagined that Qing Huan treated other men with the intimacy he had treated him, and he felt a fire burning in his heart.

No, no one can abandon him!

Even if he made a huge mistake, it won't work!

After the new year, Fang Meijing's entry into the military was officially finalized.

Fang Chengye loved his daughter so much that he bought a villa in Huating just for her to live in.

In order to send Fang Meijing off, both their husband and wife came to Huating, and as a welcome, Mu Zhonglin specially hosted a banquet at the governor's mansion to entertain them.

Fu Yunting and Qing Huan were also among the guests, but Qing Huan didn't come.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone gradually became more casual in their conversation.Fang Meijing followed her mother's appearance, graceful and feminine with a bit of heroism, but her character was more like Fang Chengye.

Mother Fang seemed to be watching Mu Xiliang all night, so she spoke warmly to Mrs. He, but Mu Xiliang seldom spoke and remained silent most of the time.

Fang Meijing glanced at him and said with a smile, "Why didn't Miss Qing Huan come tonight?"

Mu Xiliang moved his fingers subconsciously.

He also wanted to ask, but he didn't know who to ask.

Fu Yunting and Mu Zhonglin looked at each other and laughed, He said, "What are you laughing at?"

Mu Zhonglin said, "Qing Huan can't keep up with mathematics recently. I have a staff member who is a top student in the Department of Mathematics of Yenching University. Qing Huan is following him to make up lessons recently."

Mu Xiliang was taken aback. The top student at Yenching University was talking about...Yuan Yichu?

How could he not know such a big thing? ?

He frowned and glanced at them, "What the hell are you two planning?"

Fu Yunting smiled and said nothing, Mu Zhonglin said, "Ma'am, there is a saying that cannot be said, Madam, do you understand?"

He Shi was taken aback, and looked at Mu Xiliang subconsciously. He lowered his eyes and played with the chopsticks in his hand, unable to see his emotions clearly.

In front of the guests, He couldn't speak directly, so he said, "I said you two are the same, what are you bothering about? Isn't Qing Huan still young? I want to keep her for two more years, you are not allowed to make up your own minds! !"

Mu Zhonglin laughed and said, "Ma'am, you have wronged me. I just asked him to make up a lesson for Qing Huan. Did I say anything?"

Mu Xiliang still didn't move, He Shi was in a hurry, and was about to speak, but Mu Xiliang put down the chopsticks in his hand with a "ding", and said unhurriedly, "I don't even eat for a make-up class, so I forget to eat and sleep. This girl has grown up!"

Fu Yunting glanced at him, but just smiled and didn't speak. Mu Zhonglin glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost eight o'clock, it's time to call someone to pick her up." After speaking, he was about to call the adjutant in, when a cold light flashed in Mu Xiliang's eyes. However, he picked up the military cap on the side.

"I'll go."
