Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Chapter 142 Mu Yao's Thoughts

After seeing Xiao Jingxing and Yue Baisu off, Mu Yao returned to Xiushui Garden with a heavy heart.

Helian Yun sat beside the bed waiting for her, as if waiting for Mu Yao to tell him what had happened.

But Mu Yao did not speak.

She lay on the bed, exhausted both physically and mentally, sighing again and again in her heart.

Mu Yao felt that she had to make some changes in the way she got along with her husbands.

Xu Qingcheng and Xie Ci had official duties and could not accompany her all the time. And Ji Qi, as the ruler of a country, was even less likely to do so.

Although Helian Yun did not hold an official position, he bore the heavy burden of the Helian family.

Only Shen Chutang and Wei Wushang were relatively free, among whom Wei Wushang was the most unrestrained and free.

Mu Yao felt that only Wei Wushang could protect her all the time and give her the freedom and ease she wanted. It was safest to focus her life on Songgu Garden.

Helian Yun turned over and hugged Mu Yao's beautiful back.

He was not sleepy at all. He thought Mu Yao would say something to him, but she had not made any movement so far. He felt a lump in his chest, not knowing whether to go up or down.

Mu Yao turned over and faced Helian Yun. She looked into his deep eyes and asked seriously, "Ah Yun, did you tell Chu Tang about Xiao Douxue and I?"

Helian Yun looked at Mu Yao solemnly without replying.

Mu Yao opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She closed her beautiful eyes, turned sideways, and lay flat on her back, letting out a long breath.

Helian Yun gently pulled her into his arms, buried his head in her snow-white neck, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you think I'm meddling?"

"No." Mu Yao gently stroked his head to comfort him, feeling powerless and helpless.

Man proposes, God disposes, and things cannot keep up with changes.

Besides, truth cannot be hidden, and what has been said has been said.

Helian Yun really liked Mu Yao's gentle caressing of his black hair, which made him feel indescribably comfortable and at ease. The long-lost sleepiness came over him again, and before he knew it, he fell into a sound sleep.

The next day, the bird clinic reported that the sky was clear - it was another sunny day.

Mu Yao said hello to Helian Yun and went to Fufeng Garden.

Standing at the door, she hesitated for a full cup of tea before knocking on the door.

Today she brought a three-layer octagonal sandalwood food box, prepared breakfast and brought it to eat with Shen Chutang.

Shen Chutang didn't seem surprised at her arrival at all. He picked up the food box in one hand and took her arm with the other as they walked into the garden.

Mu Yao stared blankly at their clasped hands, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

The breakfast includes scallion pancakes, three-shredded tofu, bamboo leaf porridge, osmanthus cake and shredded chicken cold noodles. These simple and quick snacks are balanced in color and laid out exquisitely on the table. The deserted house suddenly has a faint sense of fireworks, warm and pleasant.

The two of them ate their breakfast leisurely, chatting about family matters, and their time was peaceful.

After the meal, Shen Chutang brewed a pot of fragrant tea, and Mu Yao once again appreciated his smooth tea-making skills.

"I went to see Xiao Douxue yesterday." Shen Chutang was the first to break the silence and stated the matter lightly.

Mu Yao gently turned the tea bowl, stared at the amber tea and said, "Chu Tang, can I handle this matter myself?"

Shen Chutang stopped what he was doing and looked at Mu Yao with a complicated expression.

Mu Yao didn't dare to meet his gaze, and continued to look calmly at the amber in front of her.

After a while, Shen Chutang said "OK" without any emotion.

Silence was better than words at this moment. Shen Chutang picked up the tea bowl and sipped the fragrant tea, but his eyes were still on Mu Yao, never leaving her for a moment.

He seemed very dissatisfied with the answer, but he endured it all in the end.
