Although Bai Jingshu has always regarded himself as a playboy, but deep down he values affection and protects his weaknesses.
He was disappointed with Gu Hanyan, but felt that Qin Muchen's punishment for her was too severe.
Seeing Qin Muchen whose expression was obviously wrong, he still asked, "Muchen, what do you mean? What child?"
A trace of yearning appeared in Qin Muchen's eyes, and he murmured: "My child."
Bai Jingshu wanted to ask something else, but Nan Chuan quickly pushed him out.
Once outside the door, after Nan Chuan carefully closed the door, he said to Bai Jingshu, "Don't ask the boss, you haven't even noticed how abnormal he is."
Bai Jingshu frowned and said: "It's been abnormal since yesterday. He didn't say anything. Of course I have to ask. It's not like you don't know that he likes to hide everything in his heart. speak out."
Nanchuan has been helping Qin Muchen with many things. Although Qin Muchen didn't say anything clearly, he has already figured out the whole story based on Qin Muchen's reaction and the few words he had with Gu Hanyan.
After all, he has been helping Qin Mushen investigate the events two years ago, so he knows a lot about them.
He roughly told Bai Jingshu the whole story.
After listening to Bai Jingshu, he was silent for a long time before saying, "How could this be?"
"The boss keeps holding back like this, and I still don't know what it will look like." Nan Chuan shook his head.
"After all, he has nothing wrong with himself, and he didn't know that Su Ziyue was pregnant..."
Thinking of this, Bai Jingshu pushed Nan Chuan away: "I'll go in and talk to him."
"Ugh……"
Nan Chuan wanted to tell him that if it was useful, Qin Muchen would not be like this.
...
When Bai Jingshu entered, Qin Muchen was smoking again.
He glanced at the ashtray, it's only been a while, and he smoked a full ashtray again.
Bai Jingshu reached out and took the cigarette from his hand: "Smoke it, sooner or later you will kill yourself!"
Qin Muchen ignored him, took out another cigarette and lit it on his own.
Bai Jingshu glanced at his expression, not daring to take his cigarette away again.
He sat down in front of Qin Muchen, and said earnestly, "Muchen, I've heard Nanchuan talk about this, if you have anything to say, just tell Su Ziyue clearly..."
Qin Mu said in a hoarse voice, "I can't tell."
How can a small life be explained clearly?
Even if Su Ziyue could forgive him, he couldn't forgive himself.
Bai Jingshu talked for a long time, but seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, there was no other way.
Qin Muchen just smoked in the office all afternoon.
When it was time for Su Ziyue to get off work, he washed off the smell of cigarettes on his body, then got up and walked outside.
She agreed to pick up Su Ziyue from get off work.
...
When Su Ziyue came out of the company, she immediately saw Qin Muchen who was waiting for her at the door.
Passing employees are still talking in whispers.
From time to time, Su Ziyue would hear words like "so envious" and "so handsome".
Su Ziyue walked over and pulled him aside: "I've already said that I don't need to come..."
"Anyway, idleness is idleness." Qin Mushen looked down at her, with a breezy and warm smile on his face.
Su Ziyue was a little speechless, so she had to drag him into the car.
...
In the middle of the night, Su Ziyue was awakened by thirst.
The seat next to him was empty again.
She turned on the bedside lamp, opened the door and went out.
There was a dim wall lamp at the door, she went to the study first to check, but found no one there.
She turned and walked to the stairs, looked down, and just saw a small fire flickering in the middle of the dark hall.
She called tentatively: "Qin Muchen?"
The fire light suddenly went out, and the next moment, Qin Muchen's slightly hoarse voice came: "Why are you awake? Do you want to drink water?"
"Yeah." Su Ziyue said again: "You turn on the light, and I'll come down and pour some water."
"Go back to your room, and I'll serve it to you right away."
As he spoke, footsteps sounded in the dark hall.
Su Ziyue stayed where she was for a moment, then turned and went back to the bedroom.
...
Qin Muchen quickly fell into the water.
Su Ziyue took a sip and found it was lukewarm.
"What are you doing in the living room without sleeping in the middle of the night?" Su Ziyue asked him while drinking water.
Qin Muchen coughed dryly and said, "Get up and look for water to drink. I got addicted to cigarettes, so I smoked a cigarette."
The smell of cigarettes on his body was so strong that it didn't look like he had only smoked one.
Su Ziyue didn't expose him either.
She was already sure that Qin Muchen had something on his mind.
Still a big deal.
She is no longer the Su Ziyue who could be fooled at will two years ago.
Growing up made her more cautious.
...
On the weekend, Su Ziyue asked An Xia for tea.
At the end, she asked An Xia: "Do you have Nanchuan's phone number? Give me one."
"Of course there is. What do you want from him?" An Xia said while taking out her phone to look up the number.
Su Ziyue said with a smile: "Qin Muchen asked me to find him to get some things before, but I forgot to save Nanchuan's number. It just so happens that you are here, so I won't call Qin Muchen to avoid trouble."
An Xia didn't suspect him, and directly gave Su Ziyue Nanchuan's number: "Hey, that's it. He hasn't changed his number in the past two years."
After Su Ziyue saved the number, she said to her, "Then I'll go to Nanchuan first, and I'll go shopping with you another day."
After watching An Xia leave, Su Ziyue called Nan Chuan.
She said straight to the point: "Nanchuan, do you have time to meet?"
"Su..." Nan Chuan habitually called Miss Su, and quickly changed his words: "Madam."
"If it's convenient, let's meet. I have something to ask you."
Nan Chuan knew that Su Ziyue called him on purpose, there must be something wrong, and he readily agreed.
...
Half an hour later, Su Ziyue and Nan Chuan sat in the coffee shop.
Su Ziyue spoke first: "Isn't it busy recently?"
"It's okay." Strange!
The boss has not been in the mood to deal with official business at all recently, everything has fallen on his head, and he is so busy that he is about to fly.
The smile on Su Ziyue's face was very weak, and she said slowly, "I won't be beating around the bush with you anymore, Nanchuan, what happened to Qin Mushen? He's been acting weird lately."
"Boss, he...has nothing to do recently..." Nan Chuan hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything.
After all, this is the boss's business, and he dare not intervene at will.
Su Ziyue knew early on that it was impossible for Nanchuan to speak out so happily.
She thought for a while and said, "Nanchuan, do you know that he has been getting up to smoke in the middle of the night recently, I don't know what happened to make him insomnia, so restless, his body will collapse if things go on like this, I know What are you worrying about, but I am his wife, his affairs are my affairs, you don't need to hide any more."
Once or twice, she didn't care. It's been almost a week, and Qin Muchen is still the same.
He didn't say anything, but she could already feel his anxiety and loss, which were obviously symptoms of emotional breakdown.
She's had it before.
