C980 Find out Who the Mastermind Is
Check your background.
Around 10 PM, Qiao Muze's villa.
Over 20 days of longing seemed to instantly shorten the distance between the two of them. Zhuang Nuannuan sat on the sofa and waited for the man who was still working in the study room. There was no sleepiness in her mind right now. She only wanted to wait for him to return to the room together.
After Qiao Muze finished writing the last email, he looked at the time and was surprised. It was already 10: 30 in the morning. He thought that Zhuang Nuannuan must be waiting for him in the hall.
He got up and pushed the door open. Sure enough, he saw Zhuang Nuannuan sitting on the sofa with a book in her hand. She looked peaceful. Under the crystal light, she looked like a quiet painting.
Hearing his footsteps, Zhuang Nuannuan looked up and pursed her lips with a smile, "Are you done with your work?"
"Yes! I'm done." Qiao Muze looked into her eyes after he finished speaking. It was as if he could see the girl's shyness from waiting.
Qiao Muze's heart suddenly heated up. In fact, as long as he revealed a little, she would not reject him, right?
Her desire for her had never lessened. However, Qiao Muze bitterly realized that when he could have her, it was really not the right time. Now that his knee was injured, he really could not do this.
"It's getting late. Let's go back to our room to rest." Qiao Muze's voice became a little hoarse.
Zhuang Nuannuan nodded and stood up very obediently. Qiao Muze reached over to hold her hand. Zhuang Nuannuan also felt a subtle aura in the air.
In her heart, she had already made a decision. He was the only man in her life.
She thought, would it be tonight?
Just as she was thinking, She accidentally tripped on her own legs, and with a cry of surprise, she threw herself into the man's arms.
Qiao Muze immediately reached out to hold her but pulled her to his injured leg. His handsome face immediately broke out in cold sweat from the pain.
Zhuang Nuannuan tightly hugged his waist. This night, she really would not reject him again, if he wanted it.
Qiao Muze's eyes were also filled with warmth. However, his knees were still wrapped with gauze. His knees were not fully recovered and he could not exercise too intensely. Therefore, even if he was full of blood, he wouldn't be able to use it.
This was probably the most frustrating moment in his life.
"Warm up, I still have a video conference to attend. Do you want to go back to your room to rest?" Qiao Muze had to find an excuse. Otherwise, he really did not know what to do.
Zhuang Nuannuan hugged him and said with some heartache, "It's so late. Do you still want to have a meeting? Can't it be tomorrow?"
"I have no choice. There is a more urgent meeting. I will sleep after the meeting." Qiao Muze's voice was restrained.
Zhuang Nuannuan had a pair of slender arms around her waist, and she had a charming fragrance. If it weren't for the fear that she might find out he was hurt, Zhuang Nuannuan saw that he was really going to have a meeting, so she could only stand up straight. She said somewhat shyly, "En! Good! Then sleep early. Don't be too busy."
"Mmm! I will." Qiao Muze reached out and stroked her little head. The moment she left his embrace, he felt a sense of loss.
Zhuang Nuannuan went upstairs to sleep, but Qiao Muze went back to the study room. He did not need to have a meeting now. He just wanted to find a suitable reason to stay for a while.
Lan's Mansion.
Lan Chunian was so excited that she could not sleep tonight because her big brother would investigate her background tomorrow. She fantasized about many kinds of hypotheses, but she did not really get the truth. She was not sure what kind of situation she was in.
She really hoped that her biological parents were still in the world. No matter why they did not want her, she hoped that they would be safe and sound and that nothing would happen to them.
Early in the morning, the cycle repeated. The busy day began again.
Zhuang Nuannuan opened her eyes. The first thing she did was worry that Qiao Muze did not have a good rest. What time did he sleep last night?
Zhuang Nuannuan went downstairs and prepared porridge for breakfast. She put some fresh shrimps on the table. It was a very nutritious breakfast.
Qiao Muze went downstairs around eight o'clock. He did not sleep well last night because his mind was full of regret from last night.
When he smelled the fragrance of breakfast in the air, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Had she cooked breakfast so quickly?
Zhuang Nuannuan was in the kitchen stirring the porridge. She heard footsteps behind her but did not turn back until she had a strong arm around her waist. The man's cold breath was in her ears. She bent her lips and smiled. The man quickly kissed her on the cheek.
"We can eat in a while." Zhuang Nuannuan said gently.
"But I want to eat you more." Qiao Muze made a wicked joke.
Zhuang Nuannuan was so embarrassed that she did not want to talk to him. She added some vegetables to the porridge.
Qiao Muze did not dare to continue with this joke. No matter how much he flirted with her, he could not be satisfied. He could only continue to walk around her.
After breakfast, Qiao Muze had some free time. He decided to bring Zhuang Nuannuan to some places where she and her father used to go.
Because Zhuang Nuannuan used to spend a lot of time with her father, Zhuang Nuannuan did not have any clues for a while, but she could only slowly go to places where her father had gone before and let her open up a certain part of her memories. Perhaps she could think of some things related to the account books.
Zhuang Nuannuan was wearing a mask. Qiao Muze drove a very low-profile car out. His bodyguards were not far behind him. They would not come close, but it was also enough to protect their safety.
Zhuang Nuannuan's most influential thing was to go to a park near her house with her father. At this moment, on the road to the park, when she was young, she would think that this park was very big and it was her playground. Now that she had grown up and walked here again, she felt that the park had become old and much smaller.
However, the memories left here were still so happy.
Qiao Muze was by her side. There was something that he did not plan to tell her for the time being. It was about her father's misappropriation of public funds. Even under the threat or temptation of her uncle, her father's actions had violated the law.
Qiao Muze planned to hide this matter as long as he could. He would never let her know.
Zhuang Nuannuan sat on the stone chair that her father used to sit on. This patch of grass was her childhood memory. Her father sat here and looked at her, and she had a lot of fun playing on the grass with her toys.
Zhuang Nuannuan did not dare to touch her memories because she was always filled with sadness when she recalled her parents. At this moment, it was something that could prove the truth of her parents' death. She decided that no matter how sad she was, she would remember everything.
Qiao Muze comforted her. This matter was not urgent.
In Lan's Mansion, Lan Qianhao brought Lan Chunian to a young age. When her parents brought her home to an orphanage, they brought Lan Chunian home. She was only a three-month-old baby and had just been sent to the orphanage less than a month ago. As she was only three months old, the orphanage did not have the qualifications to take care of her. Coincidentally, the Lan Family's parents had decided to settle the adoption procedures, so they directly carried the three-month-old Lan Chunian home.
Unexpectedly, the more this child grew up, the more beautiful she became. When she was young, she was a cute pink doll.
Lan Chunian stood at the entrance of the dilapidated orphanage. Her eyes were constantly wet. She imagined that day more than 20 years ago, who brought her here?
Were they her biological parents? Or was it someone else?
Lan Chunian's eyes were wet. Lan Qianhao reached out and pulled her into the door. He comforted her softly, "Don't worry. I'll ask."
"Yes!" Lan Chunian nodded. She looked at everything here. It had been 20 years. Although she had built a new house, it still retained this old house. It looked very shabby.
Lan Qianhao walked in and contacted the dean before he came. Lan Qianhao was brought into the dean's office.
"Dean, I've contacted you before."
"Hello, Mr Lan," the dean said. I also checked the information you asked for in advance. Unfortunately, the man who was carried in the past only had a surname."
"What? Only a last name? Do you remember, is it a man or a woman?"
"It was a woman in her forties. When she came in carrying this lady, she looked a little flustered, as if she was very scared. She put down Miss Lan at that time and left."
The director used to be a man in his early thirties. He was an employee here.
"Have you seen what she looks like? She..." Lan Chunian's eyes turned red. Could that be her mother?
"No, Miss Lan. I feel that woman. Not your biological parents, but the mother of some rich family." The director used this analogy. After she finished speaking, she sighed, "I'm not too sure either."0
