"It's raining..."

"Well, it's raining, don't leave, stay."

The autumn rain that night had shaken the minds of many people, but the warmth in Mu Shaoqing's villa had just passed. He hugged Lu Xiaoxiao's delicate body under the soft quilt, and Mu Shaoqing gently stroked her hair.

.

Lu Xiaoxiao buried her head on his chest and whispered: "Mu Shaoqing, let's chat."

Mu Shaoqing's voice sounded softly in the dark night: "What do you want to talk about?"

Lu Xiaoxiao blinked and shook his head: "I don't know."

"I don't know how to chat."

"Just, let's just talk casually. How about you ask me a question, and then I'll ask you another question, and we'll just chat like that."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to talk about, but it was still early and she really couldn't sleep.

"Why are you afraid of rainy days? Is it because you were scared by thunder when you were a child?" Mu Shaoqing had always been curious about this question, so he asked.

Lu Xiaoxiao twisted his lips and sighed softly: "My parents died in a car accident at the end of summer and early autumn. It rained heavily that night. I kept looking along the road and saw

The car overturned and blood flowed all over the ground. However, the driver who caused the accident has still not been found. From then on, every rainy day I..."

"Stop talking." Hugging Lu Xiaoxiao tightly, Mu Shaoqing couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He hugged her tightly and said, "I shouldn't ask, don't talk anymore. From now on, you can come to my place when it rains. Don't be afraid."

Lu Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and the little bird nuzzled into his arms lovingly: "It's okay, I'm much better now."

To be precise, she has gotten much better since Mu Shaoqing appeared, and the rainy days will soon be over, and she will no longer be like this when winter comes.

"Now it's my turn to ask questions. Well, ahem, Mu Shaoqing, since when did your temper become so bad?"

"Want to die?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Let me ask again, Mu Shaoqing, what is your favorite season?"

"summer."

"What a coincidence, I also like summer. So what season do you hate?"

Mu Shao glanced out the window and hugged her tightly: "Autumn."

Lu Xiaoxiao blinked: "Why?"

Why? Because every autumn those painful memories would come back to him, and he would stay awake all night, fearing that his mother would appear in his dreams as soon as he fell asleep.

Her memorial day will be in a few days... Mu Shaoqing thought these words in his heart, his thoughts drifted a little far, but in the end he did not talk to her.

"Because clothes are always hard to make in autumn, sales drop and we don't make money."

"..." The corner of Lu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. Mu Shaoqing was indeed Mu Shaoqing, an out-and-out businessman. He hated Qiu for the same reason, but the truth was what he would say.

"Now that you are satisfied with the design concept just now, will you like this autumn more?"

Mu Shaoqing looked down at her and raised his eyebrows: "I remember that when autumn came this year, I seemed to have lost 100 million."

Lu Xiaoxiao said pitifully, "They will get it back for you."

Mu Shaoqing held her face, leaned over and kissed her lips: "I really like this autumn. It has nothing to do with money, just because I found Lu Xiaoxiao."

Because I carry your photos with me, put them by my bedside, and hang them in my treasure room, I feel at ease this autumn. It won't be very cold, and it also allows me to sleep peacefully at night.

You are the most special existence to me. Even if I carry those sins and punishments, even if I cannot be happy, I am already satisfied with you by my side.

Nothing matters, nothing needs to change, you just need to stay by my side and lie in my arms like you are now.

As his big hand gently stroked his cheek, sleepiness came over him. Lu Xiaoxiao murmured in a nasal voice that he couldn't quite understand: "Mu Shaoqing, I'm so sleepy."

"Be good, go to sleep."

"Good night."

"Well, good night."

Mu Shaoqing stroked her hair, and Lu Xiaoxiao fell asleep, breathing fine and evenly. Mu Shaoqing hugged her tightly, closed his eyes and murmured: "You must win the championship, in order to...be more...

Stay safe with me."

Wanting her to win the championship is not just about supporting her dream, but also a little bit of selfishness.

Sooner or later, that man will come to cause trouble and break his peaceful life. He doesn't know what despicable and shameless means he will use to deal with him. He hopes that by that time, Lu Xiaoxiao, who has become a famous designer, will have enough status.

Be shaken by anything.

He can protect her, but her self-esteem is too strong, and he is afraid that her self-esteem will be unbearable, so everything he gives her from now on will give her the confidence to maintain her self-esteem in the future.

Compared with money, Lu Xiaoxiao, what I give you is confidence. With it, you will no longer feel that you are worse than anyone else.

He closed his eyes and hugged her to sleep. It was drizzling that night, and no one knew that the storm would quickly sweep in the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Nan got up early. He felt a little headache because of the rain last night. After taking medicine, he opened the door and took today's newspaper.

Opening the newspaper, the huge headlines made Zheng Nan's eyes become wider than ever before.

"Damn it!" Zheng Nan quickly took out her cell phone and called Mu Shaoqing.

Mu Shaoqing was hugging her from behind in the bed room. Mu Yu opened the door of the villa and rushed in, shouting: "Brother, brother, something happened! Something happened!"

Mu Shaoqing walked out of the kitchen with a frown and frowned at her: "How can you have so much energy so early in the morning?"

Mu Yu anxiously opened the newspaper in his hand and said, "Oh! Something really happened! I came here without even eating! The headline on the front page, you and the little lady!"

Lu Xiaoxiao was also walking out of the kitchen. When he saw the big blood-red characters on the newspaper and the two very familiar photos, the bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a 'clack' and shattered into pieces.

Mu Yu was startled. She didn't expect Lu Xiaoxiao to be here.

"Little, little miss, you are here too, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, my brother has something to do." Mu Yu hurriedly comforted Lu Xiaoxiao.

Lu Xiaoxiao panicked and leaned over to pick up the pieces on the ground. Mu Shaoqing hurriedly pulled her back and said calmly and seriously: "It's okay. You and Mu Yu go sit down while I answer the phone. It's probably Zheng Nan calling."

of."

Mu Yu bit her lip and walked to Lu Xiaoxiao and pulled her to sit on the sofa. Lu Xiaoxiao's face was obviously a little pale, but now it had calmed down a little. Taking a deep breath, Lu Xiaoxiao asked Mu Yu:

"Mu Yu, report, what are you writing about?"

Mu Yu was a little embarrassed: "You, you'd better not look at it."

Lu Xiaoxiao twisted her lips: "I am the person involved, so I have to know the status of the matter."

Mu Yu hesitated for a moment before handing her the newspaper marked 'President Mu's Private Lover'.

Mu Shaoqing answered Zheng Nan's call over there, and Zheng Nan said seriously: "President, the matter between you and Lu Xiaoxiao has been reported."

Mu Shaoqing said thoughtfully: "I know what happened when Mu Yu just arrived, which entertainment newspaper reported the specific situation."

Zheng Nanyan said succinctly: "Shenghua Entertainment is a small company, but the content of the report is big news. The focus of the report is that you threw 100 million for her rematch. The two photos were processed, but they were not combined. There was no mention of

I mentioned Lu Xiaoxiao's name, but...it's not difficult to guess that it's her. President, the situation is very serious. I will immediately go to the company to gather the public relations department to handle the scandal and do my best to protect your image."

Mu Shaoqing twisted his lips and said coldly: "The focus now should be on Lu Xiaoxiao. She is the one who needs to maintain her image. The competition is now a critical moment, and the direction of public opinion is very important. Once the subjective consciousness of public opinion sets her

For a vase, her future will be ruined, so we summoned people from the public relations department to discuss a plan to solve the public opinion topic for Lu Xiaoxiao."

Zheng Nan was really angry this time. She raised her voice slightly and said firmly: "President! Now is not the time to care about Lu Xiaoxiao. The report will be seen by the master soon. Your current situation will not be good. If you continue to worry about Lu Xiaoxiao,

Any risk taken by Lu Xiaoxiao will only make the situation worse, it is best for you and Lu Xiaoxiao not to meet each other."

Mu Shaoqing put one hand in his pocket, still looking cold and cold, but his voice was ten times colder than before: "Zheng Nan, I haven't reached the point where I need a woman to take responsibility for my actions."

This small competition must go smoothly, and we must control the direction of public opinion. Let’s talk first. Regarding this matter, I will arrange a special reporter’s interview, but if any media dares to harass her, don’t blame me, Mu Shaoqing, for not giving them

Chances of survival.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Shaoqing stood on the second floor and looked at the small figure of Lu Xiaoxiao on the sofa in the living room, clenching the newspaper and clenching his fists.

Damn it, it happened so unexpectedly. He was so negligent that she was exposed to the media in an instant. She must be very, very scared now.

Walking down the stairs, Mu Shaoqing walked up to Lu Xiaoxiao. Mu Yu raised her head to look at him. Mu Shaoqing gave her a temporary avoidance look, and Mu Yu walked away knowingly.

Lu Xiaoxiao clenched the newspaper tightly, took a deep breath, and said with a slight trembling: "There is nothing untrue about what is written on it..."

Mu Shaoqing's peach blossom eyes stared at her closely: "Are you afraid?"

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded: "I was suddenly exposed by the media, and I don't know what they will say next. I always feel panicked."

Mu Shaoqing seemed to sigh softly, twisting his lips and said: "Do you want to quit? You don't have to be afraid, as long as you have me -"

"I will not quit!" Lu Xiaoxiao said firmly holding back his trembling. He raised his head and looked at him unblinkingly with his bright eyes: "I will not quit the competition, no matter what people outside say.

Look at me, it doesn’t matter, I will continue to compete and I must win the championship.”

Although she was sometimes timid and weak, she knew in her heart that Mu Shaoqing did all this for her. If she backed down now, she would not be worthy of the opportunity that Mu Shaoqing got for her despite public criticism.
