Chapter 23

It had to be said that Lu Qi did have an intuition like a small animal. After that day, he never mentioned showing Mu Nanqiao's belly again.

Mu Nanqiao felt it was a pity, but he was not particularly disappointed. He was always patient in doing things, and his patience with Lu Qi was endless. Fortunately, Lu Qi happened to like the same sex, which was one of the few blessings he had in his life.Otherwise, it will be an unimaginably long road.

He knew he should figure it out slowly.

For him, Luqi is the warm sunshine that he longed to catch when he was a boy. It is the chant of the gods that he can't forget even after wandering on the lost road for many years. He originally had no intention of looking for the little butterfly that flew by back then.If he can't get out of the past, he shouldn't drag another person into the quagmire.

But Lu Qi happened to show up. Even though Mu Nanqiao didn't know that he was the butterfly that flew in through the broken window at first, she was still attracted to him, chasing the sun like a wild plant.

Those turbulent emotions are as strong as wine that has been brewing for many years. It has fermented in many unknown yet unforgettable dreams, and gradually flows throughout the chest.

But to Lu Qi, he was just a friend whom he had just met for less than a year. Of course Lu Qi liked him, and he liked to appreciate him like a friend, like a gentle breeze and drizzle. If Lin Yuan was not there, this levelLu Qi's love might make Lu Qi accept a relationship, but after stepping on Lin Yuan's trap, the reckless Xiao Lu began to be cautious and wanted to be more sure of his heart before accepting his love.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But Mu Nanqiao had to restrain himself. Once those turbulent emotions were not restrained, they would be like wild beasts breaking out of the cage, scaring the deer into hiding far away.

This is not it. As soon as a little clue was revealed, he started to shrink his head.

…

Mu Nanqiao's birthday is on Monday. Although it is a working day, everyone who is invited can freely decide their working hours, so it is not a problem.

Lu Qi got up very early today, and woke up before the alarm clock rang. He had something on his mind, so he couldn't sleep well. After he got up and washed himself, he caught the little three-flowered flower, dewormed it and tied it with a big bow.

"Meow?" Xiaosanhua, who was still awake, didn't know what she was going to do.

"He can be considered half of your master." Lu Qi pinched Xiao Sanhua's paws and rubbed the hot little pads, "I also sent you an invitation. It's his birthday today, so why don't you dress up nicely?good?"

Although there are two invitations in total, one is a deer and the other is a kitten, hand-painted by Mr. Mu’s office.

The painting was a bit ugly, but the calligraphy was beautiful, elegant but not messy, and the writing was sharp and elegant. Lu Qi clipped it in a small magnetic photo frame.

The mistress didn't understand, so she just brought the bow tie with her. Otherwise, she wouldn't wear the bow tie for that canine. That canine didn't really mean to treat her well, and she had other motives. She smelled itI can smell it all.

After cleaning up the little Sanhua and putting it into the cage, Lu Qi changed the clothes with cat hair on them and took out the shirt he had ironed yesterday.

Lu Qi was a little nervous about going to Mu Nanqiao's house today.

He felt that it would be perfect if Mu Nanqiao had family and friends on his birthday, and he was the only friend who received an invitation.

Thinking about it, Shen Cheng didn't leave any good memories for Mu Nanqiao. His only friend here might be Lu Qi.

So although he was a little uncomfortable, Lu Qi still agreed. He was just visiting other people's homes. There were elders around, so he couldn't dress too casually. Bright colors were excluded first, and finally he chose a loose-fitting one.Casual shirts are neither too formal nor too lively and frivolous.

Finally, I brought gifts and Maomao and got ready to go. I bought a bouquet of sunflowers in perfect bloom at the flower shop downstairs to give to Munanqiao's parents.

When I went downstairs, I saw the Maybach again. This time, Mr. Mu finally no longer had to pretend to be a driver. Coincidentally, he was also wearing a casual white shirt, with vertical striped sleeves rolled up to his elbows. When he saw Lu Qi coming overHe raised his eyes and smiled, "Are the flowers for me?"

Lu Qi was a little embarrassed: "It's for your parents..."

"Oh." Mu Nanqiao smiled kindly, turned around and opened the door for Lu Qi, "They will like it."

Whether it's flowers or people, they will love it.

The mistress was placed in the familiar back seat, and Lu Qi sat in the passenger seat. He was surprised to find a deer neck pillow. The Christmas deer wearing a red scarf had a chubby body, an exaggerated expression, and four little hooves running wildly., has a unique kind of cuteness.

After looking around, only the passenger car has one, which really makes me think more.

Lu Qi was embarrassed to ask, his ears turned slightly red, and he turned to Mu Nanqiao and said, "Your birthday gift is in the bag of the mistress' flight suitcase. It's..."

"Shh..." Mu Nanqiao took out a hawthorn stick with its outer packaging peeled off from the side and handed it to Lu Qi's mouth, "Don't tell me, I want to see for myself. Eat this first to whet your appetite and prepare it at home.Got a lot of delicious food.”

"Oh." Lu Qi ate obediently and thought it tasted good. He spread out the wrapping paper and took a look: high-end food supplement.

Lu Qi:......

It’s hard to imagine Mr. Mu’s mental state when he bought this.

Midway through, Mu Nanqiao answered a call and asked to go back to the company first to pick up a document.

At first, Mu Nanqiao didn't quite understand what the old father was doing. As far as he knew, the contract was neither urgent nor important. He could have asked his assistant to deliver it until he took Lu Qi into the lobby on the first floor., and then suddenly realized.

On Monday morning, except for the boss, every social worker was dressed appropriately and ready to go to work. The boss was really eye-catching and hateful when he walked through the hall with brilliant sunflowers and a kitten in his arms.

Behind the boss was a little beauty, who seemed to be wearing a couple's outfit, and they entered the special elevator together.

The group of eating melons almost exploded.

But everyone has professional qualities and doesn't want to lose their jobs. They won't just send photos of the boss's life to other places. There is only one kind of person - the person arranged by Lin here - who secretly took the photos and sent them to Lin Yuan.

There was nothing he could do about it. The top management was airtight after being purged by Muchuan Bai and his son. He couldn't get close to him at all. He was a small leader at the middle and lower levels. He couldn't even see Mu Nanqiao's face, let alone talk about it.Access to company secrets.

But Lin was urging her urgently, so he panicked a little. Finally he caught something new, so he immediately took a photo and sent it to Lin Yuan, and he also sent a message to Lin Yuan complacently.

"Mr. Lin, look at this boy. He looks outstanding and noble. Is he a young master from some family? Is he here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Mu? Do you want to dig him out??”

It’s hard to say exactly what happened to Mr. Lin that day, but according to people familiar with the matter, there were still strange howls coming from the president’s office in the middle of the night. Mr. Lin was haunted due to bad feng shui, so there are rumors that the stock price has plummeted recently.It's getting worse.

Lu Qi didn't know this. He was immersed in the confusion of "who am I and where am I?". Next to him was an extremely handsome exotic couple and their handsome son.

The four of them were standing in a pavilion halfway up the mountain. The beautiful Ms. Thalia was communicating with the engineer holding the drawings.

When he first met Mu Nanqiao's parents, Lu Qi was immediately impressed by the beauty of this family.

At that time, Mu Nanqiao parked the car on the main road of the manor. Lu Qi got out of the car with Hua in his arms. He saw a woman in a mint green shirt dress from a distance. She was standing next to the wheelchair, leaning forward and talking to the elegant man.What.

When Mu Nanqiao and Lu Qi walked side by side, the woman raised her head.

She has long golden brown hair that hangs loosely on her shoulders. Her face is small and delicate. She is not tall, but her body proportions are excellent. Even though her son is already so big, she still has a girlish charm about her..

As for the man beside her, the more Lu Qi looked at him, the more familiar his features were. Finally, he remembered where he had seen him before. He hit Mu Nanqiao's waist with his elbow and snorted, "This is not you."Boss?"

"He is indeed the boss." Mu Nanqiao lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "He is the chairman, isn't he my boss?"

Lu Qi:......

This is true, but I still feel that this person is arrogant.

Ms. Talia showed great enthusiasm for his arrival. She said that she no longer had an accent in Chinese. She walked side by side with Lu Qi all the way. As she walked, she asked Lu Qi about his age and study major.Like a traditional Chinese parent, Mu Nanqiao was pushed to the back, pushing Mu Chuanbai's wheelchair.

Muchuanbai held the bouquet and took out his mobile phone to take photos with satisfaction, "These are the flowers I got in exchange for two bowls. I have to post them on Moments..."

Mu Nanqiao: "Give it back to me after you've given it away. I want to take it away."

Muchuanbai:......

A good boy who never pulls a dime.

Lu Qi liked this kind family very much. He thought that the next step would be for everyone to sit together and have a meal, maybe sing a birthday song to Munan Qiao, and he also planned to learn to speak Russian with Ms. Talia.Happy birthday.

This is the first time he has seen such a private house outside of TV dramas. The house covers a large area, there is a courtyard and scenery behind it, and there is even a small hill. However, the overall style is very chaotic and a bit rustic.Lu Qi doesn't like the unforeseen mix and match.

It was rude to point at other people's homes. It wasn't until he was led by Mu's mother to the viewing pavilion that he finally realized that this was not Mu Nanqiao's home. This was the place where he was said to be.The demolished old house of Mu family.

Lu Qi: "Come...are you serious?"

Mu Nanqiao put the helmet on his head, lowered his head and tightened the knot around his chin with focused eyes. He also felt a little helpless, "It seems that he is serious."

Over there, after discussing with the engineer, Thalia finally confirmed everything and signed the consent form. She walked over gracefully, raised her hand and hugged her tall son.

"Happy birthday, my dear Леонид..." She kissed her son's cheek, "You will love this gift."

Lu Qi vaguely felt that the Russian sentence sounded familiar, but as the countdown began, he did not think about it in detail. He nervously held his breath and looked at the three-story villa not far away.

Mu Nanqiao was standing next to him, with a complicated look on his face. When the countdown reached three, he asked Lu Qi in a low voice, "Can I hold your hand?"

This time Lu Qi did not hesitate and took the initiative to hold the slender hand.

"Three, two, one...detonate!"

boom

The sound of the explosion was still a bit deafening even from such a distance, and then a large amount of dust spread with the wind. The majestic building slumped down in the dust, and the ground underfoot shook slightly.

The building was once so tall, and Mu Nanqiao knelt at the door, shrouded in shadow, as if he couldn't escape no matter how far he ran.

But now, it has become a piece of ruins, and in the settled dust, the deformed and broken reinforced concrete inside is exposed.

Mu Nanqiao just remained silent, and Thalia could not understand the emotions in his eyes.

After his arm was pulled, Mu Nanqiao came back to his senses and looked at Lu Qi, who was still holding his hand.

"I seem to understand that Russian..." The unresponsive child's eyes widened and he repeated with an accent: "Леонид...Leon...Ned?"

Mu Nanqiao:......

I was caught off guard, and the birthday party was about to turn into a fan meeting.

As Mu Nanqiao said himself, his skin was not crocodile skin. It was still embarrassing to be exposed like this. He coughed with his ears burning. He was about to say something, but saw Mrs. Xiaolu wave her hand and snorted softly.A sound.

"Forget it, for the sake of your birthday, I won't argue with you." He took out a small dark blue box from his pocket, handed it to Mu Nanqiao, and took the opportunity to hold the two of them.hands separated.

Mu Nanqiao frowned, but before he could feel disappointed, Lu Qi smiled again, with a slight dimple appearing on his left cheek.

"Happy birthday, Mu Nanqiao!" He pointed to the ruins below, his eyes bright and crooked: "On your birthday next year, the ruins will be full of wild flowers."

Lu Qi had already taken off his helmet, and his hair was weighed down a bit, making him look particularly well-behaved, like a marshmallow, sweet and soft, wrapping around Mu Nanqiao in strands.

He wants to hug Marshmallow.

It's his birthday today, so he can be a little more arrogant.

So Mu Nanqiao stepped forward and pulled Marshmallow into his arms.
