"What do you think?"

"It's nothing."

Hearing his voice, Ruan Yuebai lowered her head, as if deliberately avoiding eye contact with him.

But Mu Xiao was keenly aware of her strangeness, so he turned her shoulders around, raised her chin and looked at him.

"Ruan Ruan, both of us don't like to listen to lies."

His gaze was a bit cold, Ruan Yuebai was stunned for a moment, as if he had returned to the previous life, when he was holding her in the palm of his hand.

Her shoulders shrank back habitually, and she immediately averted her gaze.

"No, no, I just don't know, how... how..."

"How do you get along with me, don't you?"

He opened his mouth lightly, then sighed, a deep dark color flashed across his eyes.

"Or, in your heart, my nature is such a cruel and ruthless dictator?"

"That's not what I meant..."

Seeing that he misunderstood her, Ruan Yuebai quickly shook her head.

"It's just that last night when I saw Yan Xiuqi at the Shrine of the Hunting, I always felt that his attitude towards me was different from before."

These words made Mu Xiao's face immediately turn a little frosty.

He withdrew his hand and took two steps back to lean against the edge of the terrace.The morning sun rose from behind him, and although a golden halo was outlined behind his back, his face was completely hidden in the darkness.

"That's how he used to treat you."

"before?"

Mu Xiao obviously had something in his words, Ruan Yuebai still wanted to ask, but he turned around and went back into the room, leaving Ruan Yuebai staring at his back, slightly dazed.

"Is he... angry?"

Muttering to herself, Ruan Yuebai narrowed her eyes and followed Mu Xiao downstairs.

Although his body was in a coma for such a long time, fortunately, I massaged his muscles every day, so there was no muscle weakness.

But despite this, Mu Xiao's body is still much weaker than before.

Because he had to deal with Kehong's official business, Mu Xiao left the house early.Ruan Yuebai didn't go with him, but at noon, she still prepared lunch and went to Kehong.

It's just that before I opened the office door, I heard Shen Muyu's voice from inside: "If something happens to you in the company, how can I explain to Sister Ruan?!"

"Ahem..." After a series of coughing sounds, it was Mu Xiao's voice: "As long as you don't talk nonsense, nothing will happen."

His voice was obviously weak, and Ruan Yuebai's heart tightened when he heard it.

Just when I was about to push the door, I heard him say: "And you should also feel that something is wrong with you, right?"

"Do you know something?"

When Shen Muyu heard this, her voice tensed.

"Since yesterday morning, I feel that my limbs don't belong to me anymore, and my whole body hurts as if I have been hammered."

Hearing what he said, Ruan Yuebai frowned slightly.

In another timeline, Shen Muyu was killed by Shen Qingfeng and dismembered. According to the development in another timeline, Shen Muyu at this moment has already become a rotten bone in the tropical rainforest.

"Could it be... people who died in another timeline, in this timeline..."

"Who?"

Her voice was very low, but Mu Xiao in the office still heard her voice keenly.

"Cough cough..."

Unexpectedly, her eavesdropping was discovered, Ruan Yuebai was startled, she could only cough to cover up her embarrassment, and then pushed open the office door.

"it's me."

She raised the lunch box in her hand and walked into the office.

"Ah Xiao, is there something uncomfortable about you?"

"No." Mu Xiao bluntly denied it.

"It's Shen Muyu."

"Huh? Oh, yes, it's me."

Shen Muyu nodded, rolled her eyes at Mu Xiao, and reached out to take the lunch box from Ruan Yuebai.

"My whole body hurts like hell."

"Rest these two days and don't run around."

While putting down the lunch box in his hand, Ruan Yuebai glanced at Mu Xiao.

"And you, go home early when you're done."

After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave. Seeing this, Shen Muyu quickly called her to stop.

"Sister Ruan, don't you want to eat before leaving?"

"Don't eat."

Knowing that Mu Xiao intends to hide it from her, Ruan Yuebai will not stay here for long, "Ah Xiao."

Hearing her calling himself, Mu Xiao turned around, only to see her narrowing her eyes slightly, looking at herself carefully and saying: "You just woke up, pay attention to rest."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left the office. Mu Xiao looked at her back, and the document in his hand was wrinkled by him.

It seems that she heard the conversation just now.

Thinking of this, his eyes habitually turned a bit cold, he threw the document aside, and tapped lightly on the table with the index finger of his left hand.

Shen Muyu's scalp felt numb, coughed twice, and then placed the lunch box heavily on the table.

"I said Boss Mu, it's time to eat."

Hearing this, Mu Xiao stopped his movements and looked down at the lunch box on the table.

This portion was obviously for Shen Muyu, Mu Xiao watched him open the lunch box, and squinted his eyes, feeling a little inexplicably unhappy in his heart.

"Ruan Ruan only made one serving, so I can only wrong you to go out to eat. Remember to issue an invoice and the company will reimburse you."

"and many more!"

When Shen Muyu heard this, she quit immediately.

"This is obviously for two people, even two pairs of chopsticks are prepared, and the lunch box..."

Speaking of this, Shen Muyu had a flash of inspiration, "Oh, I see!
I said Boss Mu, you wouldn't even eat this kind of vinegar, would you? "

He picked up a lunch box and a pair of chopsticks with a half-smile, then walked to a distance, holding the lunch box and looking at Mu Xiao.

"Anyway, you said that it's a two-person share. If you don't give me the share, I'll go downstairs to find Sister Ruan and cook for me alone."

"You dare." Thinking that Shen Muyu could really do such a thing, Mu Xiao immediately stopped him with a cold face.

"Then don't eat alone!" Shen Muyu said as he walked to the table, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of food, completely throwing Mu Xiao's cold face aside.

……

After walking out of Kehong, Ruan Yuebai looked up at the window above his head with concern, and then dialed Yan Xiuqi's phone number.

"I want to ask you something." As soon as the call was connected, she said straight to the point: "If someone dies in another timeline and is still alive in this timeline, will there be any problems?"

"You're asking about Shen Muyu?" Yan Xiuqi said, "I really neglected this..."

"Is there really any problem?"

Hearing what Yan Xiuqi said, Ruan Yuebai immediately got upset.

"I knew he was already dead, and it was my intervention that kept him alive in this timeline.

But now that the two timelines overlap, I worry that the ending of the other timeline will have an impact on the current reality.

He just told me today that he's not feeling well all over his body, and I'm worried..."
