Stand Still, Don’t Run Away, My Little Wife

He knew that she had not slept. He lay on his side, bowed and motionless, like this from childhood to adulthood, pretending to be asleep, but his nerves were tight.

“Warm…”

Hearing Raymond’s voice, she was still dark and hoarse. Mu Nuan’s closed eyes slowly opened. She couldn’t say why. She thought that she had a little backbone and ignored him. No matter what he said or did, she could not see or hear it.

But facts have proved that she failed to do so.

“I didn’t think you would come back tonight.”

She thought she would lose sleep all night.

“Raymond, do you know that Qiu Jingye and Yas have cooperated?”

The man pulled off his tie without saying anything, but Mu Nuan knew that he knew these things better than anyone else.

“But you still go to a candlelit dinner with Miss Qiu, which is very romantic.”

In the past, Raymond did not do this.

If someone betrayed him, the man was favored by him, but secretly conspired with others. He was still looking for Raymond’s rival. Qiu Jingye, a man of two sides and three factions, would have no chance for Qiu Jingye to have a foothold in Ancheng if he had been Raymond before.

But now, it is because of a Qiu Jingning, so he connived at everything.

Mu Nuan, on the other hand, only had several contacts with Yas and was almost named a traitor. This is probably the difference.

“These things are not your business.”

How can one not recognize the intolerance and warmth in a man’s voice?

Raymond, you are tired, aren’t you?

Mu Nuan is not tired of what she looks like at the moment. If she had been at the beginning, she would not have cared, would not have cared.

But when she was already in deep mud, it was impossible to stop her heart.

“Yes, I am just a raised woman. What qualifications do I have to take care of these?”

Mu Nuan thought, this room will soon not belong to her.

No, this place never belonged to her.

Even this family has never been her home.

She got up and put on her slippers. She didn’t want to say anything more than that. She passed him by and overflowed a little.

“I went back to my room to sleep.”

This is not the first time she has said it.

But only this time, he did not say no.

Mu Nuan laughed at herself. In fact, he also wanted her to leave.

It seems that everything is going back to the original point.

Just Raymond, what do I have to do to make my heart go back to the way it used to be, neither warm nor cold?

You warmed it, but the next moment, let it fall into the ice.

Really, it’s cold.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

… …

Qing Yi saw Mu Nuan coming out of her room in the morning. First she was shocked. Seeing that she didn’t sleep well last night, she made milk for her.

“Miss Mu, didn’t you sleep well last night?”

“… no.”

She can finally go back to her room to sleep. How can she not sleep well?

In this way, Aunt Qing watched Mu Nuan take those clothes back to the wardrobe of her room one by one. All the way down, she only saw the girl’s indifferent look. It seemed that she had been authorized by Raymond to do so.

Well, that’s exactly what it means.

Although he did not say it clearly, Mu Nuan still has this self－knowledge.

“Is there any contradiction between Miss Mu and Mr. Mu?”

“… contradictions have always existed.”

Mu Nuan chuckled back, disapproving.

Over the years, the contradiction between each other does not mean that it does not exist.

Just like now, there are too many barriers between him and her.

Qiu Jingning, Qiu Jingye, Yas…

Perhaps neither she nor Raymond can give each other unconditional trust.

Just like last night, she didn’t believe that nothing happened during his few hours with Qiu Jingning on romantic nights.

As he did not believe, she did not have much contact with Yas.

People are really funny. Why do you have to force each other to do what you cannot do?

“Is it because Mr. Wang came back late last night?”

“…”

In the face of Mu Nuan’s sudden silence, Qing Yi only asked himself a little, but sighed and laughed：

“Miss Mu, you will also be Mrs. Mu’s person in the future. As for Mr. Mu’s social activities outside, you have to get used to them as soon as possible.”

In the future, I will be Mrs. Mu’s person… … …

Adapt to his social activities? For women’s social parties, that Mu Nuan really can’t do it.

“I don’t think I am qualified.”

Mrs. Mu, ah… If you want to be Raymond’s wife, you must be doomed to be a decoration and endure that kind of loveless marriage, then Mu Nuan would rather not be worthy of it.

“Besides… how can a condemned man’s daughter be his wife?”

This sentence is three points sarcastic and seven points bitter.

However, at the moment when Mu Nuan said it, Aunt Qing was shocked. Perhaps she did not expect that she would say so.

“Miss Mu, don’t say that to yourself, those…”

“This is the truth.”

If it is a fact, it cannot be erased or changed. Even if now again scenery, status again noble what.

In her bones and body, it was the blood of her criminal father that flowed all the time.

“By the way, I have the last design class in the afternoon and almost forgot to hand in the last design work.”

“Then I will not disturb Miss Mu.”

Qing Yi could see that Mu Nuan did have something in his heart, but he could not say. In short, the feeling this time was really different from before.

… …

Mu Nuan read the documents in his hand over and over again.

Zhan Hao embezzled the company’s public funds to pay debts. Before, he borrowed usury because of his wife’s medical expenses. If you can’t afford to repay, you embezzled some of the company’s public funds.

The amount is unknown, but Raymond family at that time was not as strong as it is now, but it also had a lot of money.

Just because he was convicted, according to the law, the heavy penalty is only a fixed－term imprisonment of not more than 10 years.

However, the court finally decided that it was a capital crime.

Why is it that the crime that cannot be committed to death is finally a capital crime?

Mu Nuan did not know whether the information on this document given to her by Yas was true or not.

If it is fake, then what was the real crime of his father in those days and why did he use this embezzlement to come to shattered glass?

But if it is true, then the court is clearly a false sentence, to father’s life!

Who can have such great rights, and who sent his father to prison at that time?

It’s Raymond, just him.

“No…”
