Quite awkward

Chapter 112 Nordic Travels

In the evening, Mu Yanqing returned home after working overtime. He walked to the backyard and heard Mu Chenan chatting with someone on the phone.

He originally wanted to avoid him, but Mu Chenan clearly heard his footsteps, so he quickly hung up the phone, stood up and called him.

"Brother, come and sit down."

The two sat opposite each other. Mu Yanqing drank warm tea and saw a dim light on in a room on the second floor.

Xu Nianhan must be sitting at the desk reading a book now.

He looked away and expressed his thoughts in a calm voice.

"After the divorce, I plan to return to China. I still prefer teaching at a university rather than managing a company."

Mu Chenan was slightly stunned. His first reaction was to stop him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mom and Dad need you to accompany them."

"Why don't you come and keep me company?" Mu Yanqing suddenly asked him calmly.

It felt like blame.

Both brothers have the responsibility to be filial to their parents, not just one person.

Mu Chenan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Mu Yanqing then twirled the white porcelain cup in his hands, muttering softly, "I never wanted to come to America from the beginning. There's no socializing, no entertainment, only busy work and a chaotic marriage. I'm tired, and I just want to be myself from now on."

There were a few yellow fallen leaves on the round table, their shapes were particularly regular. Mu Chenan stared at them for a while, then raised his eyes with a slightly solemn expression.

"You returned to China, didn't you, for Qi Yu?"

Mu Yanqing paused, put down the teacup, and was lost in thought for a moment before remembering to answer him.

"Not for her, but for myself."

After hearing this answer, Mu Chenan did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt that his elder brother was not honest enough and used a high-sounding excuse to perfunctorily deal with him.

He said that he was doing it for himself, but in fact he wanted to completely stay away from Xu Nianhan so that he could continue to take care of Qi Yu after returning to China.

But things are different now, and Qi Yu doesn't need him to take care of her.

When talking about Qi Yu, the two had completely different thoughts in their minds.

When Mu Yanqing made the decision to return to China, he only considered himself. He wanted to adjust his mentality and return to a familiar environment to live a peaceful life.

Probably after Xu Nianhan had a miscarriage, in order to take care of his wife's mental state, he took the initiative to reduce contact with Qi Yu, and later he gradually got used to not worrying about her life.

But since he has chosen to return to China, if Qi Yu encounters any problems in life or work in the future, he can also come forward to help her solve them as soon as possible.

As her elder brother, he is always her protective umbrella.

Also, he wanted to fulfill his previous promise and buy Qi Yu a house of her own so that she wouldn't have to move frequently and live a homeless life.

-

Nordic.

He was only halfway through his words when the video call was suddenly cut off by the other party, and the handsome face of the man on the screen disappeared instantly.

Qi Yu scratched his head, feeling puzzled. He guessed that Mu Chenan might have something to do suddenly, so he hung up the phone without informing him in advance.

She simply put away her phone, lay down on the recliner and looked up to feel the bright and warm sunshine.

In the morning, they took a car tour in Norway and saw countless waterfalls and fjords. They were all very shocking natural scenery. It seemed as if time had stopped at that moment and there was only intoxicating beauty in front of them.

Xiang Wei brought a cocktail from the store and handed it to Qi Yu. She then sat on another lounge chair, crossed her legs, and sipped the wine in a very relaxed manner.

This cocktail is called QUINCE, which is made with the local specialty liquor. It tastes very special and is sweet but not greasy.

They all thought it tasted good, but they didn't dare to drink too much.

Xiang Wei put down his empty glass, stretched upwards, and exclaimed with a smile: "This place is so beautiful and fun. This trip is really worthwhile."

Qi Yu also deeply felt the same way.

She had previously participated in the school's study abroad program, visiting one tourist attraction and then going to the next, always rushing on, leaving a group of young students with no time to breathe and unable to immerse themselves in the trip.

Now, they can sleep until they wake up naturally, leisurely visit tourist attractions, or just find a small and stylish restaurant on the side of the road to sit down and have a drink, quietly enjoying the travel process.

After drinking, the group walked to a party.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival that day. Invited by a Chinese tour guide, they participated in a local Chinese festival celebration. They tasted Chinese food in a foreign country. The long-lost taste stimulated their cerebral cortex crazily, making them feel inexplicably excited.

They have been traveling in Northern Europe for seven days. According to the plan, they will stay in Copenhagen, Denmark for three days before preparing to return home.

-

On the day they arrived in Denmark, they checked into a local five-star hotel not far from the tourist attractions. The tour guide was able to get a discount, which made it a great deal, so everyone chose to stay in a room.

In the evening, they went to a Michelin restaurant together to eat Danish food. Qi Yu liked the chicken asparagus tart and fried fish cakes on the table the most.

Later, when they were returning to the hotel, they passed by a bakery. Xiang Wei was worried that they would be hungry in the evening, so she went in and bought some croissants and rum raisin rolls to share with everyone.

Back in the hotel room, Qi Yu sat on the stool at the end of the bed and touched the quilt. It seemed to be a pink Morandi color, which looked very comfortable and warm.

The trip was entering the countdown, and she got up to get her clothes and take a shower. Tomorrow's schedule was a little rushed, and she had to visit several more attractions, so she had to get a good night's sleep tonight.

Suddenly, the cell phone thrown on the bed vibrated. She picked it up and saw that the tour guide had sent a message asking her to come downstairs, but she did not explain the details.

Without thinking too much, she changed her shoes and went out to the hotel lobby.

Seeing the tour guide's back, Qi Yu quickened his pace, walked around a large column, and patted her shoulder with a familiar touch. He smiled and asked, "What can I do for you?"

The tour guide checked her watch and turned to her, saying, "Mr. Mu will be here soon. He asked me to ask you to come downstairs to pick him up."

"what?"

Qi Yu was shocked when she heard this. She never expected that Muchan would come to Denmark.

The tour guide beside him was hired by him, so she would naturally report to him in detail every item of their travel itinerary.

Why did he go to such lengths to find her instead of just returning home?

Five minutes later, a black business car slowly stopped in front of the hotel gate.

A waiter wearing white gloves opened the car door, Mu Chenan got out, waited for a moment, took the suitcase from the driver, and then looked up, and saw the woman he hadn't seen for nearly ten days.

It was the first time the tour guide saw this generous male employer. She ran up to him to say hello and talked about the group's itinerary for tomorrow.

Mu Chenan nodded calmly and gave clear instructions: "Take the other three people shopping tomorrow."

He raised his hand again and pointed at Qi Yu.

"I'll go with her alone."

"Okay, Mr. Mu, I'll be leaving first."

Qi Yu stood on the stairs motionless.

Even after seeing him in person, she still couldn't believe that she and Mu Chenan would meet in a foreign country.

It happened to be dark, and a tall, handsome, and cool Asian man was standing on the side of the road. Blond-haired and blue-eyed European men and women would uncontrollably slow down their pace and take a second look at him.

Seeing that she was still not moving, Mu Chenan picked up the suitcase and walked up the stairs in three or two steps. He put his big hands around the woman and held her in his arms. He lowered his head and sniffed the familiar scent of her hair. The bad mood he had been feeling in the past few days disappeared in an instant.

"What? You're so stupid that you don't even recognize me?"

“Second brother.”

Qi Yu called Wanren and buried her face in his warm and broad chest.

This was the first time the two of them had any intimate behavior outdoors. Although the foreigners passing by did not recognize them, she was still embarrassed to face them. She was also worried that Xiang Wei would suddenly come downstairs and recognize Mu Chenan.

Mu Chenan curled the corners of his mouth, hugged her quietly for a while, then took her hand and pulled her into the hotel.

"I don't have a reservation. I'll share a room with you tonight."

Qi Yu paused, looked up, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Second brother, please book another room. My friend lives next door to me, and I don't want her to know."

"There are no rooms left. If there were, I would have asked the tour guide to book one for me. If you won't let me go to your room, where should I sleep tonight?"

“Other hotels might…”

Mu Chenan rubbed her ears, leaned down, and spoke in a low and deep voice.

"Qi Yu, I've been on a long flight and I'm pretty tired."

He is playing the victim.

Qi Yu shamefully softened her heart towards him.

No wonder Mr. Xiang Wei praised her for being kind.

She thought for a moment and estimated that those people might be lying in bed now, either sleeping or playing with their phones, and probably wouldn't go out again.

"Well, let's go upstairs."

……

Qi Yushua opened the door, looked around, pushed Mu Chenan in first, then she quickly slipped in and closed the door.

The suitcase was pushed to the end of the bed by a force.

Qi Yu was unable to react in time and was pressed against the wall by Mu Chenan. He was showered with kisses and their hot breaths entangled with her.

The originally plain room suddenly felt an ambiguous atmosphere.

His slender fingers sank into the soft long hair.

He practically held her head with one hand and pinched her chin with the other.

This action is extremely controlling.

She was kissed so hard that she could hardly breathe, and her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand.
