Mu Yinyin was the first to turn around.
But Lu Sinian was extremely embarrassed.
He never imagined that Lu Zhipeng would react like this.
Pressing his lips together, his breathing deepened slightly. "Yinyin, I still have some things to finish. I'm leaving now."
With that, he pulled Lu Zhipeng and walked outside.
Lu Zhipeng didn't react in time and stumbled to the ground under Lu Sinian's forceful pull.
However, Lu Sinian didn't care about him.
He directly dragged him out of Mu Yinyin's house.
Less than a minute after they left, someone walked in.
He bowed and nodded to Mu Yinyin, showing utmost respect. "Miss Mu."
Then, he pushed out the two people lying on the ground.
He also efficiently cleaned the spot where Lu Zhipeng had just been standing.
Although Mu Yinyin didn't have as severe a潔癖 (jié pí - obsession with cleanliness) as Fu Siye, she found it distasteful when someone's actions affected her environment.
She couldn't stay in this house anymore.
She turned and went into the bedroom.
As she opened the door, Fu Siye's burning dark eyes turned to look at her.
Their gazes met, and they remained silent.
Mu Yinyin didn't forget her purpose. She pursed her lips and quietly said to Fu Siye, "Let's go to my other property."
But as soon as she spoke, she regretted it.
Why did she say that to Fu Siye?
She frowned, full of regret.
But she quickly changed the subject and said to Fu Siye in a mild tone, "Thank you for taking care of Fenfen. I'm leaving here now."
Fu Siye had taken Fenfen back to the room and had stopped paying attention to her and Lu Sinian.
However, he had vaguely overheard some of it.
Wasn't Lu Zhipeng already dealt with?
What did she mean?
If she didn't want him to know her new address, why would she have said that just now? Was it so she wouldn't be found by Lu Sinian?
Fu Siye narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze full of confusion. "Did your talk with Lu Sinian fall through?"
Unsure why Fu Siye thought that, Mu Yinyin still replied, "No."
The next second, she was already by the bed and reached out to pick up Fenfen.
Seeing her leave, Fu Siye had no choice but to follow behind her.
As they walked out, Fu Siye smelled the strong scent of disinfectant lingering in the air.
Fu Siye suddenly understood.
"I'll take you," Fu Siye quickly walked in front of Mu Yinyin, blocking her path. At that moment, his expression was deep and serious.
Mu Yinyin also noticed the earnestness in Fu Siye's eyes.
As Mu Yinyin parted her lips to speak, Fu Siye preempted her, speaking quickly with a hint of determination. "Fenfen seems to have been frightened. It might not be good for you to take care of her by yourself while driving."
Fu Siye's words were indeed reasonable.
Moreover, there was no one else around her. After thinking it over, Mu Yinyin agreed. "Take me to Lake New Residence."
She had a vacant property in Lake New Residence.
Fu Siye responded with a soft "Mm" and walked into the elevator with Mu Yinyin. He somehow felt like a bodyguard or driver.
However, he patiently said nothing.
Thus, Fu Siye personally drove her there, with Mu Yinyin holding Fenfen in the back seat. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Midway, her phone rang.
It was祁漠 (Qí Mò) calling.
Qi Mo's voice was gentle on the phone. "Yinyin, are you free recently? Can you come to Country E again?"
He and Aimée being trapped in the police station was thanks to Mu Yinyin and Fu Siye.
If Fu Siye could intervene, it must have been for Mu Yinyin's sake.
Men understood men best; he knew exactly why Fu Siye had acted.
Now, Shu Yu, along with Lu Shan, the people behind Lu Shan, and Qiu Zeyu were staging a coup. Country E was about to undergo a major upheaval.
The royal family of Country E was gravely ill, and only Mu Yinyin could provide assistance. Most importantly, the Shu family had been taken over by Shu Yu, and Shu Zhibei and his wife Xu Hui were still missing.
Shu Yu could not be allowed to continue like this.
It was not just about saving the Shu family, but also saving Country E!
Although he was reluctant to involve Mu Yinyin, the current situation could only be broken if Mu Yinyin personally entered the fray!
"I... can." Mu Yinyin's speech was slow. Just as she was about to say something, she recalled Qi Mo's tone.
Although Qi Mo's tone was gentle, there was still a hint of seriousness in his words.
If there wasn't something important, Qi Mo wouldn't have asked if she could go to Country E; he would have come here instead.
Therefore, she had to go.
"Then I'll pack my things and catch the earliest flight." Mu Yinyin pursed her lips, her expression becoming slightly serious. "Fu Siye, drive me to Wan Yu's place."
It would be inconvenient to bring Fenfen with her. It seemed Qi Mo had encountered a major issue, and she wouldn't be back for a while. Wan Yu was the person she trusted the most!
However, Fu Siye objected, "Mu Yinyin, you just returned from Country E. Is Qi Mo that important to you?"
To the point that with just one call from Qi Mo, she would respond immediately, regardless of when or where, and rush to Qi Mo?
He hadn't forgotten what happened back then...
Mu Yinyin interrupted him, her expression serious. "Fu Siye, this is my business. If you feel I'm bossing you around, then drop me off at the next intersection."
Was it so difficult for them to communicate now?
Could they start arguing over every other sentence?
It was truly exhausting!
Fu Siye wouldn't abandon her halfway, but he was filled with anger at her actions. "Mu Yinyin, it sounds good to call it taking the initiative, but it's just throwing yourself at someone."
Mu Yinyin: "..."
She was genuinely speechless.
Her expression was full of impatience. "May I ask how I'm 'throwing myself at someone'? Fu Siye, you might have forgotten how Qi Mo saved us when we were trapped in the elevator."
Fu Siye certainly hadn't forgotten.
As he was about to say something, Mu Yinyin preempted him again. "Qi Mo has encountered some trouble, and I'm going to help him resolve it."
"Fu Siye, your constant concern for me will cause misunderstandings."
Concern?
What a joke!
He simply didn't want to see her being so eager, didn't want her to...
But why did he have so many "don'ts"?
"Fu Siye, if you have so much time to mind me, why don't you go and take care of your precious Nan Shiqing? Otherwise, she'll get angry again."
Mu Yinyin said this coldly, her expression now indifferent.
Fu Siye was momentarily stunned.
So, he was being called meddlesome?
Thinking of how she had previously mocked him like a dog, he felt a surge of anger.
Mu Yinyin never showed him the same pleasant expression she showed Qi Mo or Lu Sinian. But then again, she had, like during their three years of marriage.
"I'll go with you," Fu Siye stopped his thoughts and said calmly to Mu Yinyin.
Mu Yinyin: "?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
