After visiting Third Brother at the hospital and confirming that Murong Chuan’s health was fine, Murong Qiao returned to the company and began to get busy.
As this matter was kept amongst themselves, no outsider knew about it.
After dealing with the urgent matters at hand, Murong Qiao moved her sore wrist twice. Then, she looked at the groggy and slightly yellowed sky outside and saw a message from Huo Yichen on her phone.
[What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll be home late.] The other party sent a message.
The moment Murong Qiao saw the news, she felt her waist start to hurt again.
How was this about her dinner? It was more about feeding her so that he could eat her up after that.
Murong Qiao had already become familiar with Huo Yichen’s routine in the past two days. Therefore, when she saw the other party’s message, she sent a cat emoji that shook its head and said no without hesitation.
Ever since the two of them went out late at night to experience their wild sides, it was as if Huo Yichen had turned on a switch. Murong Qiao even had to be endure “torture” by the other party for a few days.
Not to mention anything else, just the few tricks Huo Yichen had come up with gave her a headache.
Murong Qiao thought for a moment and replied decisively, [I’ll sleep at An Nuo’s house tonight.]
She chose to give herself a break without hesitation.
After making her decision, Murong Qiao decisively sent a message to An Nuo after work and headed straight for the other party’s new house.
However, thinking that she had only been there a few times, Murong Qiao could not help but buy more things on the way over.
After An Nuo received the news that Murong Qiao was coming to her house, she returned home early and put aside some work that was not urgent. When Murong Qiao knocked at the door, she excitedly opened the door for her.
“Long time no see.” Murong Qiao smiled and shook the bag in her hand, gesturing to An Nuo, who was standing in the room.
Without another word, An Nuo gave her a big hug.
She reached out to take over the bags in Murong Qiao’s hand and carried them to the living room. At the same time, she led her to the center of her new house.
“It’s been a while since you moved, but you haven’t been here much.” An Nuo chatted casually, feeling happy for Murong Qiao’s visit. “Why did you suddenly think of coming to look for me this time?”
“Someone has been too pa.s.sionate these past two days. I just don’t have the energy to enjoy such fortune,” Murong Qiao explained in amus.e.m.e.nt.
She placed the desserts and flowers she had brought neatly on the dining table in the living room. Seeing an empty vase beside her, she decided to untie the bouquet of flowers and place them into the vase to add light to the living room.
An Nuo was putting some food into the fridge. Murong Qiao had brought too much stuff. The two of them would not be able to finish it later, so they might as well keep some first.
“You guys are not even married yet.” An Nuo teased. “It’s been so long since we last met, but you still haven’t forgotten to show off your loving relationship to me.”
Murong Qiao replied seriously, “No, I’m not.”
However, although she was talking, the sweetness on her face still made An Nuo eat a mouthful of dog food.
“Don’t just talk about this. You’ve been busy with work. Don’t you have anyone whom you like?” Murong Qiao was curious about her good sister.
It had been a while since they last met after all.
After Murong Qiao found a random seat and sat down, she looked at the decor and design of the surrounding rooms and could not help but feel a sense of familiarity.
An Nuo seemed to be able to see through her thoughts and said, “This is designed according to the house we used to live in. Other than the fact that it’s not identical in some places, I tried my best to get someone to make it as similar as possible.”
After all, she was used to living in the past and could not be bothered to change her environment.
“I even reserved a room for you.” An Nuo pointed at the guest room beside her.
It was just for decorative purposes actually. If she really came over, the two of them would definitely sleep together instead.
Murong Qiao looked up in the direction An Nuo pointed. Before she could look at more details, she heard a knock at the door.
“Did you order takeout?” Murong Qiao asked subconsciously and was already walking towards the door.
An Nuo was still fiddling with the fridge at this moment, so she could not free herself. When she heard Murong Qiao’s question, she only replied vaguely.
“I’m not sure. Help me take a look.”
When she received Murong Qiao’s message, An Nuo had just rushed home, so she did not order anything.
After Murong Qiao stood at the door and heard An Nuo’s answer, she first thought of looking out of the peephole cautiously.
“Big Brother?” Murong Qiao reached out and pressed the door handle. She opened the door and was surprised to see Murong Chen standing outside.
Why was Big Brother here?
Little Sister was here?
The same question appeared in the hearts of the siblings.
Seeing that Little Sister asked first, Murong Chen pointed at the next door. “I come here to stay occasionally.”
“Is An Nuo here?” He asked.
“She’s here.” Murong Qiao nodded honestly. Looking at her Big Brother and An Nuo, she could not help but imagine something.
When Murong Chen saw this, he stuffed a bag into her hands. “Then Qiaoqiao, help me give this to her. Tell her that she left it behind last time. I still have something on, so I’ll leave first.”
There were still many things waiting for him at the company. Murong Chen was preparing to return to the headquarters this time and had to leave in a hurry for the evening flight. Therefore, he only said a few words to Murong Qiao in a hurry. After saying a few words, he turned around and disappeared around the corner of the corridor to the elevator.
“Huh?” Before Murong Qiao could answer, she saw her Big Brother disappear. Then, she could only look at the bag in her hand.
After she left, An Nuo was finally done. She stuck her head out of the fridge and looked at Murong Qiao and the empty door.
“Who was that just now, Qiao?” she asked casually.
After Murong Qiao closed the door, she returned and handed the bag to An Nuo. She stood in front of her and observed An Nuo’s subtle expression. “It’s my brother.”
“Your—your brother?” An Nuo was about to reply with a calm expression, but when she heard Murong Qiao say who it was, her tongue immediately knotted and she almost bit it.
With her best friend’s probing and gossipy gaze, An Nuo’s face immediately turned a little red and she could not help but cough softly.
Something was wrong.
Murong Qiao acutely sensed the information hidden under An Nuo’s body movements.
She placed the bag in front of An Nuo and tapped it with her fingertips. Then, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking like she wanted An Nuo to tell the truth.
“Wait, it’s not what you think!” To throw caution to the wind, An Nuo first clarified.
She and Murong Chen had not even started dating. Moreover, it was just a thought in her heart. At least An Nuo did not want Murong Qiao to misunderstand anything for now.
Moreover, An Nuo did not know why the other party suddenly knocked on the door to give her something. Hence, before she could explain, she could only reach out and open the bag. In the next second, she saw a few bath supplies inside.
There was also a strong note inside.
[You forgot to take it back.]
What An Nuo could see, Murong Qiao could naturally see too.
After seeing this sentence and meeting Murong Qiao’s interested gaze, An Nuo only had one sentence left in her heart.
Oh no, she really could not clear her name now..
