More Than A Few Blessing

Chapter 22: This is not 'love'?

Because Yan Mu's mobile phone had rung several times, he was forced to park the car by the side of the road. When he brought the car to a stop, he took out the wireless headphones and finally answered the persistent phone call.

"Fuck, Mu ge, why didn't you call when you said you were going to call?" Zhuang Yu's voice blasted through the speakers, his tone was quite angry.

"Sorry, I had something to do. You guys just go to the afternoon party without me," Yan Mu said. He glanced at the Lu Chengyu beside him. "I'll treat you tomorrow."

"Alright." Zhuang Yu knew that Yan Mu had something to settle with Yan Jia. Normally, Yan Mu was not the type of person to leave without saying anything in advance. "Okay, I'll tell them. You take care of yourself."

"Thank you." Yan Mu hung up the phone, frowning. What happened to him today? He left early without telling his friends; he stopped at the door regardless of the hotel rules. This was not in line with his usual style. These disrespectful acts violated his years' worth of education.

Although Lu Chengyu was half drunk, he was still able to tell that there was something wrong with Yan Mu's expression, so he shifted his gaze away quietly. Sometimes, a person had to know when not to ask questions.

The car gradually moved along. Lu Chengyu leaned back on his comfortable chair and listened to the soothing sound of Guqin music. Slowly, he fell asleep.

Taking advantage of when the lights turned red, Yan Mu covered Lu Chengyu with his suit coat. This was the second time he had to send the drunk Lu Chengyu home.

As a boss, he knew that his concern for Lu Chengyu was exceeding the emotional line between a supervisor to his staff. As the lights turned green, he started the car and drove steadily forward. Maybe, there were some things he should think about seriously.

When the car entered the community, Yan Mu half-hugged Lu Chengyu back to his apartment.

After settling the man into the **, Yan Mu half squatted down, taking off the other party's shoes. He put the door keys on the bedside cabinet, opened the window, and silently looked at the sleeping Lu Chengyu.

The first time he saw Lu Chengyu's interview resume, Yan Mu had thought that he might be a very energetic young man. Who would've known that he would happen to meet the real person at Baiweixuan the next day and, by chance, also pick up the younger man's wallet. If Yan Mu hadn't walked fast enough, Chengyu's wallet would've been picked up by another person.

At that time, Lu Chengyu had turned around and said 'thank you' with a smile adorning his face. For some reason, Yan Mu recalled the clean and smooth white shirt Chengyu had wore. It made the people who look at it want to move closer, but at the same time, also reluctant to reach out to touch for the fear of wrinkling and dirtying the pure shirt.

After a long time in his thoughts, Yan Mu suddenly frowned. His friends had said that he was dull and boring. Does Lu Chengyu, a man who never lacked attention in the company, think so, too?

Walking out of the master bedroom, Yan Mu went to the kitchen and found that the mung beans he had bought were still in the refrigerator. Seeing that the bag of mung beans had not moved, he knew that Lu Chengyu seldom cook for himself.

He placed the mung beans in the bowl to soak them. Then, he circled around the room and found that the garbage bin was almost overflowing with trash. It was full of snack packages and peels, as well as wrappers for instant bread. There wasn't that much garbage when he was here the last time.

Bending over to collect all the garbage, Yan Mu turned back to the room, took away the key, and carried the trash out of the door.

Xiao He was hired as the CEO's driver, but because Yan Mu often liked to drive by himself, he usually did odd jobs in the company. Due to his honesty and diligence, his wages increased by 5% during this period.
