Chapter 317: Protecting the Country and You (49)
In the car.
Xi Chen drove and chatted with Yu Mu, who opened the window to let in the wind outside.
The weather in Kyoto was good today, with a little sunshine, although not very strong, but better than the cloudy day before.
Basking in the long-lost sunshine and the breeze, Yu Mu gradually became sleepy.
She leaned against the car seat, squinted her eyes slightly, hummed a few times in response to Xi Chen's words, and then closed her eyes to take a nap.
She was already very tired when she got up in the morning, and now after dinner in the afternoon, she felt even more sleepy.
Xi Chen heard a faint breathing sound from the side, and his hand on the steering wheel paused for a moment, and the young man looked over thoughtfully.
His eyes slowly fell on the side face of the girl who was leaning on the car mat and sleeping with her eyes closed. The black hair brushed across the side face, half-covered, and the slender feather eyelashes slowly fell into a shadow, shallow.
Xi Chen retracted his gaze, and the corners of his lips inadvertently raised slightly, his eyebrows and eyes smiled gently.
…
…
Soon, it was time for Yu Mu to go to Country S with Director Liu to attend the seminar.
The day before departure, Yu Mu showed her finished paper to Director Liu, who praised her after reading it. His eyes were full of light and excitement: "Doctor Yu, your paper is really well written! I believe that when you explain it to them on the stage, those experts will be amazed by your wisdom and views!"
Yu Mu nodded calmly, "This is the finished paper. Since Director Liu thinks it's okay, it's fine."
Director Liu smiled and nodded and said, "Well, it's okay."
…
The door of the office was half-open, and the conversation inside was intermittently transmitted to Tan Jing's ears. Tan Jing listened to Director Liu's praise for Yu Mu and silently clenched her fists.
Tan Jing's eyes were completely gloomy, and she felt cold in her heart. Hehe... the manuscript...
At this time, Yu Mu's voice came from inside. She seemed to pause and said, "Then Director Liu will keep this manuscript for the time being. I tend to lose things easily. If I forget to bring it to the seminar, it will be troublesome."
Director Liu thought for a while after hearing this, and then nodded: "Okay, then I will keep this manuscript for you for the time being."
The chat between Yu Mu and Director Liu seemed to be over. Tan Jing listened to their footsteps at the half-open door and quickly turned around and hid in a corner.
At the same time, Yu Mu and Director Liu walked out of the office together.
"I have an operation here later, so I won't talk to you for now. Doctor Yu, remember to meet at the airport at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Director Liu raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said to Yu Mu.
Yu Mu put his hands in his pockets and nodded slightly, "Okay."
After saying goodbye to Director Liu, she turned around and left here casually.
[Little prince, Tan Jing was outside the door just now. ] Huang Tao said considerately.
Yu Mu said "Hmm" calmly, [I know. ]
Huang Tao blinked and asked Yu Mu: [Little prince, aren't you worried that Tan Jing will do something? ] It saw that Tan Jing was not an honest and obedient person, and said a lot of bad things about the little prince behind his back.
Yu Mu didn't care much and said lightly: [It won't cause any trouble. ]
Huang Tao saw Yu Mu's cold look and thought about it. Yes, who is the little prince? How could a stupid woman like Tan Jing do something behind his back?
After getting off work in the evening, because Yu Mu was going to leave for S country for four or five days, as soon as he got home, Yu Mu had just finished taking a shower and had no time to speak, and the next second he was carried to the room by the man.
It was a tossing and turning until most of the night.
The next morning, Yu Mu was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to lift his fingers.
Fortunately, Yu Mu's suitcase had been packed by Xi Chen in the morning. Xi Chen had considered what to bring and what not to bring. They only needed Yu Mu to get up, wash his face and have breakfast before they could set off.
At half past nine, Yu Mu was pulled out of bed by Xi Chen, "Mu Mu, get up, wash your face, brush your teeth and have breakfast. I'll take you to the airport after breakfast."
"...No."
The girl curled up in the bed, her whole body rolled up in the soft quilt, her fair and beautiful face buried in the quilt. She didn't look up, and only muttered through the quilt.
Hearing this, Xi Chen raised his eyebrows lazily, and said lovingly with the corners of his lips hooked: "Okay, okay, I won't get up. I'll tell your dean later, and take a leave today, and I won't go to Country S."
Xi Chen didn't want to be separated from Yu Mu for so long. Now that he saw Yu Mu lying in bed and unwilling to go, he quickly said while the iron was hot.
As a result, who knew that after Xi Chen said this, Yu Mu's mind would be clear instantly.
The girl raised her head from the quilt in a daze, and looked at Xi Chen blankly with her tea-colored eyes stained with mist.
Her voice was still a little soft, probably because she hadn't woken up yet, it lacked a bit of coldness and alienation.
"S Country?"
Yu Mu was stunned for half a second before she remembered.
Oh, she still has to go to S Country to attend a seminar today.
She remembered that Director Liu told her yesterday that the plane was at 10:15 and she had to arrive at the airport at 10 o'clock.
"What time is it now?" Yu Mu asked.
Xi Chen glanced at his mobile phone and replied: "9:36."
Yu Mu frowned, a little annoyed.
I don't want to go, it's so annoying.
Xi Chen could naturally see the annoyance in the girl's eyes. He smiled maliciously and said seductively: "Since Mumu doesn't want to go, then we won't go! It's just an insignificant seminar. Do you want to go or not?" It doesn’t matter, we Mumu are already very good anyway!”
Yumu: "..."
She glanced at Xi Chen faintly.
Pushing the man sitting beside the bed away, the girl lifted the quilt and said, "Go away, I'm going to wash my face."
——
Airport.
Director Liu felt a little anxious when he saw that it was already a few minutes past ten o'clock and Yu Mu hadn't arrived yet.
He couldn't help but call Yumu, and he answered the call immediately. Director Liu quickly said: "Hey, Doctor Yu, this is Director Liu. Where are you now?"
"I've already come in. Director Liu, which waiting area are you in?" Yu Mu's voice came from the mobile phone.
Director Liu looked up and replied: "Area A."
"Stand there, I'll be here soon." After Yumu said that, he hung up the phone.
Director Liu waited for about two minutes and saw a man and a woman walking towards him in front of him.
Director Liu saw Yu Mu at first sight, but when he saw the man next to Yu Mu, he was slightly stunned.
The girl wears white long sleeves, has delicate and beautiful features, and her long black hair is slightly curled at the tips. She is cool and cold, but very beautiful, making people unable to take their eyes away.
