Luo Chen, who was worried, suddenly felt a pair of hands pressing on his shoulders.
He turned around and saw Mu Binglan's beautiful face.
Mu Binglan looked indifferent, reached out and took down the half of the cigarette in Luo Chen's mouth, and then put it out in the ashtray. Then Mu Binglan went to the sofa and sat down next to Luo Chen.
"No smoking is allowed at home from now on."
"Yeah, I'll try my best."
Mu Binglan lowered her head and saw Luo Chen's right hand tied with gauze. She stretched out her hand to pull up his right hand and asked with some concern.
"What happened to your hand?"
Luo Chen took back his hand and smiled.
"It's okay, I got scratched accidentally."
Mu Binglan looked at Luo Chen, her eyebrows slightly frowned.
"Luo Chen, is there anything bothering you? You haven't smoked at home for a while."
Luo Chen reacted when Mu Binglan mentioned it.
Because Mu Binglan didn't like the smell of cigarettes, Luo Chen basically stopped smoking at home after living together with Mu Binglan, especially after the relationship between them warmed up.
The only time was because that time Mu Binglan forced herself to choose between her and Bai Ya.
But what happened today made Luo Chen so upset that he smoked at home to relieve his worries.
If it's an ordinary worry, there's no harm in telling Mu Binglan.
But Luo Chen would definitely not let Mu Binglan know about these things, and he had a fight with Mu Binglan.
"It's okay, honey, I just got addicted to cigarettes suddenly. I thought you were asleep, so I said, hehe."
Mu Binglan looked at Luo Chen steadily for a few seconds and asked as if she was feeling something.
"Is there something you can't tell me?"
Seeing Mu Binglan showing such concern, which was very rare, Luo Chen was stunned and felt a warmth in his heart.
"Ha, wife, do you know that what you just said is better than all the sweet words I have ever heard? It is more moving than any love words."
Mu Binglan looked slightly startled and her tone was slightly doubtful.
"Isn't it just a normal sentence? Is it worthy of you being so happy?"
Luo Chen nodded happily.
"Of course it's worth it. If I remember correctly, this is the first time my wife has taken the initiative and wants to know what I am thinking. It seems that our marriage certificate does not have a white collar."
Mu Binglan's pretty face turned red and she gave Luo Chen a white look.
"It seems you really have nothing to worry about, and you can still laugh so heartlessly."
Luo Chen felt much better because of Mu Binglan's words, so he was able to joke with Mu Binglan again.
"Not at all. Honey, do you think I'm a little worried?"
"That's good."
Mu Binglan thought that even if she couldn't solve Luo Chen's problems, it would not be in vain to pretend to be so gentle and considerate even if it made him feel better. However, thinking about her behavior just now, Mu Binglan still felt that it was too unfair.
Suitable for your own style.
"I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed first. You should also rest early."
Luo Chen nodded.
"Honey, go and have a rest. Go to bed early and get up early, so that you can become more and more beautiful."
Mu Binglan stood up, stretched out her hand to smooth her nightgown, and then told Luo Chen not to smoke. After seeing Luo Chen's promise, she left gracefully.
After Mu Binglan left, Luo Chen came to the window, looked at the night outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
At this time, calm down and think carefully.
I felt that things were a little strange, but I couldn't put my finger on what was strange. I just felt that everything seemed to be so logical, and the fingers were all directed at Fang Qingxuan.
The value of intelligence clues is certainly very important in Luo Chen's heart, but before there is absolute evidence, Luo Chen is also unwilling to ignore the feeling in his heart.
For some reason, there was always a voice in Luo Chen's heart reminding him that Fang Qingxuan was not the mastermind behind this incident.
After much hesitation, Luo Chen decided to have a good talk with Fang Qingxuan in person.
He took out his mobile phone and called Fang Qingxuan.
The call was connected immediately.
Fang Qingxuan's voice was full of concern and worry.
"Luo Chen, are you okay tonight? It was my negligence."
At this moment, Luo Chen had a strange feeling about Fang Qingxuan, a contradictory feeling of aloofness, trust and suspicion.
Luo Chen had to admit that Fang Qingxuan was a very charming and individual woman. This may have something to do with her family background. Luo Chen still had a good impression of her in his heart.
The first meeting in the hospital, then the Nanfang Mansion, and then the dinners at Chunming Mountain and Jinjiang Hotel, there were only a few meetings. Each time they met, they left a deep impression on Luo Chen's heart.
Will Fang Qingxuan be the kind of woman who will do whatever it takes to gain power?
Luo Chen had seen many such women, but he had an inexplicable confidence in Fang Qingxuan and felt that she was not.
This kind of self-confidence in his heart gradually overcame Luo Chen's suspicion of Fang Qingxuan, and the anger he had before thinking that Fang Qingxuan had betrayed him had dissipated a little unconsciously.
"I'm fine. Do you have time tomorrow? I want to meet you."
"Yes, I just want to tell you in person that what happened today is very strange."
"Okay, then I will choose a location and contact you."
Not hearing Fang Qingxuan's response, Luo Chen asked tentatively.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about coming here?"
Fang Qingxuan knew that Luo Chen doubted her, so she let herself go to the place he designated.
There are naturally certain risks in going there, but Fang Qingxuan chose to believe in Luo Chen.
"No, I will definitely go there and I will explain it clearly to you, Luo Chen. I hope you can believe me."
"Okay, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Chen fell down on the sofa.
very tired.
Luo Chen felt extremely tired, both physically and mentally. He just fell asleep on the sofa.
…
The next morning, Luo Chen was woken up by Mu Binglan and saw in a daze that the time had reached seven o'clock.
In the past, Luo Chen would get up at six o'clock and run with Mu Binglan, but maybe because he was too tired, Luo Chen overslept today.
"Why sleep here? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Mu Binglan frowned. She didn't see Luo Chen in the morning. She thought Luo Chen was sleeping in, so she went for a run alone. When she came back, Aunt Fang prepared breakfast. Mu Binglan didn't find him in Luo Chen's bedroom.
After waiting for a long time, I discovered that Luo Chen was sleeping on the big sofa on the balcony.
Luo Chen rubbed his eyes and smiled.
"I was so tired last night that I accidentally fell asleep. It's a pity that I couldn't go for a morning run with my wife."
Mu Binglan gave Luo Chen a roll of her eyes.
"Go and wash up quickly. Come over for dinner after washing up."
Breakfast was very ordinary. He and Mu Binglan chatted about recent events as usual. Luo Chen made jokes from time to time. Mu Binglan mostly said that Luo Chen was not serious.
But Luo Chen felt unusual, because today, he felt an inexplicable warmth from this ordinary breakfast.
A question emerged from Luo Chen's heart unconsciously.
What kind of life is it that I have been pursuing? (To be continued)
