awkward

Ye Mu glanced, lowered his head and coughed lightly, pulled the dog leash, raised his steps to leave, but was stopped.

"Where are you going?" Chen Mo cast a sideways glance at him and said coldly.

Ye Mu pursed his lips and said, "Take the dog home."

Chen Mo raised his sharp chin, "Clean up the floor first."

Ye Mu looked worried, "Your dog, you take care of it yourself."

Chen Mo snorted coldly, and said sharply: "It's mine, but now it's in your care."

"You also said it was foster care, but it still belongs to you in name."

Chen Mo's long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "I'll give you an extra [-] salary after cleaning up."

Ye Mu had no expression on his face, and spoke indifferently, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would give in easily for money?"

Chen Mo's thin lips curled up slightly, and his fair and slender fingers slowly raised up, "Twenty thousand."

Ye Mu looked at him, his handsome face was calm and expressionless.

Chen Mo tapped lightly on the table, "Thirty thousand."

Ye Mu stood upright, lowered his eyes, and Master Hei walked around him a few times.

Chen Mo squinted at him, "coughed", "[-]."

Ye Mu pursed his lips and moved his fingers slightly.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows lightly, "One hundred thousand."

Ye Mu gritted his teeth, obeyed his instinct, silently took a tissue and squatted down.

Chen Mo teased with a smile, "Where is the person who just said he wouldn't give in easily for money?"

Ye Mu lowered his head, bangs covered his expression, his voice was low and dull, "This is not surrender, but an appropriate concession."

The corners of Chen Mo's lips couldn't stop turning up, and he said unrulyly, "You can talk quite well."

Ye Mu took care of himself and ignored him.

Chen Mo looked at him, and said slowly: "By the way, do you really hate me now?"

Ye Mu wiped the floor, lowered his voice in displeasure, and replied, "Well, it's quite annoying."

Chen Mo sneered, cleared his throat and said, "Very well, then from now on get rid of all your inner thoughts that you should have and shouldn't have."

Ye Mu frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

Chen Mo raised his thin eyelids and glanced at him, "You understand."

Ye Mu got up and met his gaze, "I don't understand."

For some reason, Chen Mo looked away, and turned his pen uncomfortably, "It's something that comes from the instinct of the human body, and the depth and duration of it are not very certain because of the needs of certain hormones."

Ye Mu frowned even tighter, "What do you want to say?"

Chen Mo glanced at him casually, and stated his ultimate goal lightly on his face, "In public or private, I don't want you to have unnecessary thoughts about me."

Ye Mu felt that he was indeed prejudiced against him in his heart, stared at him for a while, and said lightly: "Yes, I will try to adjust."

After hearing this, Chen Mo showed no expression on his fair and handsome face, "Well, fine, take the dog out after wiping the floor clean."

Ye Mu nodded, knowing this man's temperament, he didn't go into it, and turned around and walked away with the dog.

Chen Mo stared at his back for a long time before looking away.

……

In June, Shanghai is particularly rainy.

When I got off work in the evening, there was a sudden storm.

Ye Mu didn't have a car or an umbrella, and he couldn't get a taxi at that point, so he could only lead Master Hei to the company gate and wait for the rain to subside.

A few colleagues in the company got impatient and rushed into the rain and ran to the bus station. Ye Mu thought about it too, but he didn't go with him because he was afraid that Master Hei would catch a cold in the rain.

As a pet of the boss, Ye Mu felt that this husky was much more noble than himself, and he didn't dare to take the risk of making it sick before he understood its place in his boss's heart.

Chen Mo's salary increase today made his salary more substantial, and he didn't want to lose this job.

The previous turmoil had caused the Ye family to face bankruptcy and the risk of real estate mortgages. Now that they have managed to get better with the money from the previous sale of the villa, he does not want to be a burden on the family anymore.

The rain continued, and the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, inexplicably giving people an uncomfortable feeling of dampness and oppression.

Master Hei seemed to feel it too, laying on the ground sleepy, lacking energy.

Amidst the majesty, the music in the coffee shop curled up.

It's "After the Breakup"

I always think about the future, the future

I hope you can take a look at me

but really when you turn around

we have broken up

I do not love you anymore

you don't love me anymore

is it true or is it a lie

Is it intentional or unintentional?

don't know we don't know

wandering, confused, endless,

……

The male singer's deep and magnetic voice sang slowly, and the few words contained sadness and tenderness, which made people feel inexplicably melancholy.

Ye Mu lowered his head, quietly looking at the wet tiles on the ground, with gloom in his eyes.

Just like that song, in recent days, he has always felt very at a loss, going around alone, repeating going to work and leaving get off work every day, no longer waiting for a few words from someone like before, no longer needing to bow down to please someone like before. People, but there is always something missing.

He doesn't like dogs very much, he even said he hates them, and he can accept them calmly today, maybe it's just because he wants to find a companion.

During the days of quitting smoking, he felt lonely and lonely.

The heavy rain was still majestic, and amidst the sound of ticking rain, a black Lanchi Boni stopped in front of the company.

Ye Mu raised his eyes and glanced, his face became indifferent.

The glass window opened slowly, and the profile of the man in the car was profound and handsome, with a pair of deep eyes staring straight ahead, with a low voice, "Get in the car."

Just two words, capable but quite imposing, full of masculine charm.

Ye Mu looked at him without moving. After a long time, his thin lips parted slightly, "Why are you here?"

Yan Chen fell silent and didn't make a sound.

Ye Mu frowned slightly, his attitude was indifferent, "I don't need you to be kind and drive the car away."

Yan Chen turned the key ring to turn off the car, leaned back after smoking a cigarette, and said calmly, "Ye Mu, don't blame me for not reminding you, Gu Huai is currently investigating your misappropriation of public funds half a year ago."

Ye Mu's face suddenly darkened, "What kind of tricks are you playing? I took out the money to save you in an emergency, and it is not considered embezzlement of public funds at all."

Yan Chen sneered, "That's right, but now who can prove it?"

Ye Mu gritted his teeth, his face tensed, "What do you mean?"

Yan Chen squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to you about a condition."

There was impatience in Ye Mu's eyes, "I have nothing to talk to you about."

Yan Chen took a puff of cigarette and let it out comfortably, "Then you can only wait for the announcement from the police station and the court."

Ye Mu clenched his fist tightly and stared at him without saying a word.

Yan Chen pinched his cigarette, and said in a low tone, "Actually, it's not difficult for me to testify, as long as..."

"Just what?"

Yan Chen glanced at him sideways, and continued: "As long as you can be obedient."

Ye Mu looked coldly at Zhang Jun, "What does it mean to be obedient?"

Yan Chen raised his thin eyelids and looked down at him, with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Ye Mu gritted his teeth and it took him a long time to say two words, "Shameless!"

Yan Chen twitched the corners of his lips, and smiled evilly, "Whatever you say, the choice is yours. Of course, you can also choose not to be shameless with me."

Ye Mu looked at him with downcast eyes, and said in a harsh tone, "You have bankrupted the Ye family before, if you still follow Gu Huai to slander me for embezzling public funds at this juncture, you will be driving me to a dead end!"

Yan Chen smiled, "Dead end? Didn't I let you live?"

Ye Mu looked at him indifferently, "Is it a way out or a way out?"

The corners of Yan Chen's lips showed carelessness, "Don't play word games with me, if I were you, before defending your poor dignity, I would think more about my old and helpless parents, who are chased to replace me in my old age It should be the most unfortunate thing for my son to repay the debt."

Ye Mu bit his lip, lowered his eyes, looked down at the ground, silent, his heart was sour.

Yan Chen raised his sharp chin and repeated, "Get in the car."

Ye Mu didn't speak again this time, but closed his eyes tiredly, opened the car door resignedly, and got in with the dog.

Yan Chen rolled his lips and glanced at him, stepped on the accelerator to start the car, and drove away.

For nearly an hour, Ye Mu didn't speak, but kept his head down. His bangs covered his facial contours, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

Yan Chen didn't speak again, and the atmosphere in the car was silent for a while.

The rain kept falling, and the wheels rolled over the puddles, making a splash and making a mess of the street.

Half an hour later, Yan Chen parked the car downstairs at Ye Mu's house, knocked on the steering wheel, and said indifferently, "Here we are, get out of the car."

Ye Mu didn't move.

Yan Chen frowned, didn't urge him anymore, and lowered his head to smoke in the car.

The two of them were in a small space, although they were very close, there was no tenderness at all.

A few minutes later, a phone call came in.

Yan Chen glanced and connected.

"Where are you?"

The voice came from Gu Huai.

Yan Chen pursed his lips and said without changing his face: "The company has something to do today, so I have to come back very late."

Gu Huai's voice on the other end of the phone paused, but soon returned to normal, "It's okay, I'll wait for you no matter how late."

Yan Chen held the phone and remained silent.

Gu Huai was also silent for a while.

After a while of silence, the other end of the phone spoke first, "By the way, have you signed the court paper about the matter I mentioned to you earlier?"

Yan Chen lowered his eyes, and there was a hint of gloom in his long and narrow black pupils, and even his voice became low, "I told you earlier, this matter is totally non-existent."

Gu Huai frowned, "I understand that you are sympathizing with him, but this time the evidence is convincing, he is indeed short of public funds, I can't tolerate it, and please put aside your personal feelings."

Yan Chen's face darkened, "Why do you have to hold on to him?"

Gu Huai's mood was a little unstable, "I should ask you this question, why do you want to cover him?"

Yan Chen took a deep breath, "You make me very tired."

Gu Huai's eyes turned red, "Why don't I? Yan Chen, don't think that I don't know who you are with now. If you still want to be with me, go home and sign it now, otherwise we will divorce !"

Yan Chen held his forehead, his handsome face was deeply wrinkled, "Don't make trouble."

However, Gu Huai was very serious, "I don't have time to fight with you. You choose to sign the court documents or the divorce agreement."

Yan Chen's eyes gradually revealed irritability, he cut off the phone and threw it aside.

Ye Mu looked up at him, with a sarcastic arc on his lips, "It seems that your life is not very good these days."

Yan Chen laughed, lit a cigarette and smoked, but didn't answer.

Ye Mu glanced at him with a distant expression, and said in an extremely indifferent tone, "So, the conditions just now are just nonsense, right? You will still sign that court document, and then follow your Gu Huai to sue me for bankruptcy?"

Yan Chen smoked a cigarette, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Yes, Gu Huai is more important to me than you."

Ye Mu smiled, extremely cold, "For the sake of your beloved, you can betray your conscience and morality, I swear I have never admired you so much, Yan Chen."

Yan Chen ignored it, lowered his head and continued to smoke, "Don't blame others, only blame yourself for being inferior to him."

Ye Mu wiped his face, nodded and admitted, "Yes, I can't blame anyone, that's fine, it's even more torture for me to stay with you because of that so-called condition."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Yan Chen started the car with a stern face, "Get out of the car and get out."

Ye Mu took a deep look at him, opened the car door, and walked out with the husky.

Yan Chen didn't stop much, and drove away directly.

Ye Mu quietly watched him go away, his heart throbbed violently.

He swears that he has never hated someone so much in his life.
