Sweet Wife Runs Away

Dong dong dong, the cheerful footsteps gradually moved away.

In the study, it was pitch black, and the heavy curtains were pulled down, blocking the light from the garden.

Xu Mushen sat on the chair, motionless, his eyes had turned into puddles of stagnant water, even if there was a breeze, they couldn't stir up any ripples.

He vaguely heard Ning Xi mention his name outside the door.

However, Xu Mushen still didn't respond, as if he had turned into a sculpture.

Ning Xi's voice seemed to be like a gust of wind that gently passed Xu Mushen's side, and immediately dissipated in the air after blowing, leaving no trace behind.

Osmanthus sugar, osmanthus sugar, osmanthus sugar.

Whether Xu Mushen closed his eyes or opened them, all he could think of was the box of sweet-scented osmanthus he had just seen.

Suddenly, a short-haired girl with a bright smile held a candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This candy is really super delicious. It's my favorite. Try it quickly. Does it taste good? I ate it once when I was a child, and I can't forget it ever since."

"Is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? It's really delicious."

The girl had her hands on her hips, her face was puffed up, she looked like a little hamster.

"What, you dare to laugh at me. I just like to eat candy. What's the matter, what's the matter, can't you? Don't laugh and see how I can stuff your mouth with sugar, hahahahaha."

The girl clasped her hands together and looked at him pitifully, like a little rabbit who had lost its way.

"You're going on a business trip to Hangzhou? That's great. Be sure to buy me a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus candies. I'll be angry if I buy less."

The girl moaned in pain on the bed, her little face wrinkled into a ball, and she lost all energy.

"My stomach hurts, I accidentally ate too much, it's so uncomfortable... You ask me how much I ate? Um, um, um, don't worry about such small things...Okay, okay, I admit, I I ate all the catties of sugar you bought."

The girl's cheerful voice surrounded his ears, like a lark with melodious singing. Hearing this voice made people feel happy.

Between his lips and teeth, Xu Mushen seemed to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus candy again, but the taste was not as sweet as the girl described, but rather bitter, as if it had gathered all kinds of bitterness from all over the world.

Xu Mu covered his eyes deeply, his eye sockets were dry, and his heart was barren.

A deep male voice sounded in the room with a strong sense of astringency.

"That candy is not tasty. I just ate so much because you like it and to make you happy."

"It's not sweet at all, it's very bitter, very bitter, very bitter, I don't like that sweet-scented osmanthus."

"You can't eat your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus anymore. It's all my fault. If I had been more careful, you wouldn't have been hurt."

"Osmanthus candy is still there, but you are no longer there."

"it's all my fault."

In the pitch-black study room, Xu Mushen's whole body was shrouded in darkness, and he couldn't tell whether the gloom around him was heavier, but the darkness around him was thicker.

……

With Ning Xi's help, the dinner preparation was much faster.

A table of food that is not inferior to restaurants is ready.

Frying, deep-frying, cooking, stir-frying, Chinese style and Western style, all kinds of dishes are placed on the table full, full of beautiful things in eyes, exuding attractive aroma.

Ning Xi wandered around the table, very satisfied with the table's achievements, she paid special attention to a plate of green vegetables, which she fried under Aunt Su's guidance the whole time.

Although she only played the role of a tool person, rounding it up, it was the dishes she made by herself.

She thought expectantly: "I must let Brother Shen taste it later, how about my craftsmanship."

No one needed to shout, when the food was ready, Xie Jin and Chu Lian rushed out like cats smelling the smell.

Xie Jin took a deep breath, and gave Ning Xi a thumbs up: "Wow, it's so rich, Xixi, your craftsmanship is getting better and better."

"I'm just laying the groundwork. Aunt Su and the chef are responsible for all the credit." Ning Xi felt a little embarrassed.

Ning Xi looked towards the stairs twice, but found that there was no movement, and said cheerfully: "I'll call Brother Shen to come down for dinner."

"Hey..." No need to shout.

Xie Jin stretched out his hand to grab Ning Xi and tell her not to go, but Ning Xi's movements were too fast, and he had already reached the stairs in the blink of an eye.

Xie Jin frowned, ready to get up: "I'll get her back."

Chu Lian grabbed Xie Jin and shook her head at him: "Forget it, let her go, maybe she can call out the boss? After all, she is different from us."

Chu Lian and Xie Jin have already learned from Aunt Su that Lu Qianyi gave Xu Mushen a box of sweet-scented osmanthus candies, and the meaning of this sweet-scented osmanthus candy is clear to the two of them. Looking at Xu Mushen's current appearance, he will definitely not have dinner. will eat.

It is useless for anyone to call him or persuade him. He can only come out to produce something after he has figured it out.

Xie Jin had a sad face: "Hey, I don't think so. If Ning Xi was really that important, Boss wouldn't lose his composure just because of a box of sweet-scented osmanthus."

Chu Lian thought very thoroughly: "How will you know if you don't try? If you don't try, there is nothing you can do."

Xie Jin sighed and shrugged: "I'm afraid that Boss will be upset by everyone at this time, and even she will get angry in it."

In the corridor, Ning Xi didn't know that there was a small argument surrounding him.

She has come to the door of the study.

Afraid of disturbing Xu Mushen's work, she first put her ear on the door and listened carefully for the movement inside for a while, but found that there was no sound.

Then she knocked on the door and called softly: "Brother Shen, dinner is ready, you can eat."

The door of the study was still closed, and there was no response quietly.

Ning Xi thought that Xu Mu was deeply immersed in work, so he raised his voice again: "Brother Shen, if you have something to do, wait until after dinner, don't be in such a hurry."

After speaking, Ning Xi put his ear to the door, held his breath, and listened carefully to the movement inside the door, but there was still no response.

Just when Ning Xi was still about to knock on the door, Aunt Su who got the news had already rushed up.

Aunt Su held Ning Xi's hand: "Forget it, don't shout anymore, the young master is in a good mood, and he probably doesn't have an appetite to eat, so let's not bother him."

Ning Xi didn't know the situation, but those of them who had been with Xu Mushen for a long time knew that when Xu Mushen was in a bad mood, he hated people disturbing him. If he could be alone in a room quietly, his self-regulation and recovery would be faster. For some, the consolation of others will only have the opposite effect.

Originally, they thought that Ning Xi could impress Xu Mushen, but they didn't expect that Xu Mushen still didn't respond at all when Ning Xi stepped forward.

Their plan was tantamount to a failure.
