C11 Dissonance

As night fell, the entire city sank into a world of light.

After work, Mu Yi went to the villa to visit Gu Qingli.

Sitting in the steady car, Mu Yi lowered his head in contemplation. Outside the car, the sound of cars speeding away, the sound of sirens, the sound of various shops advertising … They gathered together.

However, the interior of the car was completely silent. Mu Liu felt suffocated from the pressure.

Mu Liu was used to seeing such cold people, but today, his brow was full of anger, and he lowered his head in terrifying cold contemplation. Even Mu Liu, who had followed Mu Yi for many years, still couldn't catch his breath in the face of such a powerful and depressing aura.

Mu Liu only thought that Mu Yi Chen had something on his mind and didn't say anything more.

It was also true that ever since the Young Master met Gu Qingli, he had become a completely different person. Sometimes gentle, sometimes irritable. His heart was no longer as calm as it used to be.

After entering the villa, he did not discover Gu Qingli.

Upstairs, Gu Qingli's door was slightly closed. Through the gap in the door, he could see Gu Qingli's gentle and sweet face. He didn't knock on the door and instead walked in quietly.

Gu Qingli sat on a stool in her bedroom, patiently and meticulously pruning a light yellow rose in her hand. On the table, there was a large white porcelain vase filled with multicolored roses, and beside the vase, there were even some scattered roses.

One rose after another was cut in Gu Qingli's hands. At this moment, she was as gentle as water. She lowered her head with a serious expression, making Mu Yi unable to shift his gaze away.

"You're back?"

As if he had felt something, Gu Qingli looked up and saw Mu Yi Chen staring at her. Her face immediately flushed a faint shade of red, and she shyly smiled at Mu Yi Chen.

When he looked down again, he felt a sharp pain on his fingertips, as if he had been bitten by an ant. Gu Qingli let out a cry and quickly put down the rose in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing this scream, Mu Yi Chen quickly walked over to Gu Qingli's side and picked up her jade hand.

A drop of dark red blood oozed out of his slender fingertip. Mu Yi frowned, and wiped it off with a piece of paper from the side of the table.

"Why are you so careless? Don't touch these thorny roses in the future."

The voice was low, like it was filled with pain and anger.

"Thank you …" "Thank you, but it's all right. I just got stabbed a little."

Gu Qingli quickly withdrew her hand and lightly blew on her injured finger.

After a moment of silence, Mu Yi Chen stared straight at Gu Qingli. Not long after, his gaze landed on Gu Qingli's stomach.

"I heard that Qin Zhiwei came to see you two days ago."

These sudden words caused Gu Qingli's heart to fiercely tremble as he heard Mu Yi Chen mention Qin Zhiwei.

Everything that had happened during Qin Zhiwei's arrival was engraved in Gu Qingli's mind. However, the things she had said, Gu Qingli still hadn't been able to understand them.

"Yes."

This simple and short sentence left Mu Yi Chen at a loss as to how to continue.

"What did she say? You two still have a connection? "

With these two bland questions, although Mu Yi Chen's expression was calm, he secretly broke out in a cold sweat within his heart.

As he finished speaking, his gaze turned heavy as he held his breath, looking at Gu Qingli seriously.

"Remember what you promised me!"

"How can you pretend to be stupid?"

"When your father was so ill that he begged me to help you think of a way out, have you forgotten all about it?"

Qin Zhiwei's words once again surfaced in his mind. Although Gu Qingli didn't understand what she was saying, he still felt that something was wrong. She just didn't want to bother with Qin Zhiwei, but that didn't mean that she wasn't wary of her.

"But, why would Mu Yi Chen ask such a question?" "Could it be that he suspects …" The more Gu Qingli thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. She raised her head and her gaze met Muyi's.

For a moment, their gazes met.

Mu Yi Chen's eyes were filled with doubt and distrust, causing Gu Qingli's heart to suddenly feel sad.

Living here wasn't going well, so she could just leave. It was just that the way Muyi looked at her now made her feel depressed, as if her character had been provoked.

"Qin Zhiwei said something strange, but I didn't understand it. So, what do you want to ask me? Just say it directly, my brain is too stupid to accept such a difficult language. "

Gu Qingli unhappily said these words. The moment her words left her mouth, even she found it hard to believe. When did she become so overbearing?

Mu Yi lowered his head in silence, rubbing the paper towel that was stained with a drop of blood.

"Do you have any contact with Qin Zhiwei? Don't you understand? "What happened?"

Gu Qingli, who had always been gentle like jade, couldn't contain the anger in her heart this time. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Muyi.

He didn't think that the situation would develop to this point. As he looked into her angry eyes, it was the first time that Mu Yi Chen felt that his intuition was wrong.

"It's fine, don't take it to heart. Take good care of your body. After two days, it will be time for the pregnancy test. Cooperate well with the doctor."

For some reason, Gu Qingli couldn't help but feel discontent, yet he couldn't bring himself to force the question. He could only unwillingly nod his head.

Gu Qingli's fingers were still aching, but she felt that it didn't matter. She ignored it and subconsciously picked up the scattered roses on the table to continue pruning them.

It was as if she could smell the refreshing fragrance of the flowers, and only by looking at the colorful flowers could she make her dull life a little more hopeful.

"Stop cutting, be careful not to injure your hand again."

Mu Yi Chen gently grabbed the rose in her hand and stood up. He then picked up the rose that was scattered on the table and threw it into the trash can.

This time, Gu Qingli was infuriated once again.

"It's my hand that's injured …"

His voice was cold and his voice was slightly raised.

Gu Qingli seemed to still have something to say, but her eyes slightly shifted as she quickly regained her senses. She felt that she should not be angry with him, and what he had said earlier was also out of concern for her, so she swallowed back what she was about to say.

Perhaps it was because he had mentioned Qin Zhiwei that Gu Qingli had always been holding a nameless fire in his heart.

Or perhaps, his suspicions towards himself had truly disappointed Gu Qingli.

At this moment, Mu Yi Chen didn't know what to say. He quietly stood beside the vase, his eyes looking like he was looking at a rose, but it didn't seem like he was looking at a rose at all.

The room was completely silent. Although Gu Qingli and Muyi were only two steps apart, their hearts seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, making them unable to see through each other.

Suddenly, a few light knocks came from the door, breaking the silence in the room.

"Young Master, Miss Gu has eaten."

So it was Uncle Zhao calling them to eat. Hearing this knock on the door, Mu Yi let out a long sigh of relief, and his tensed nerves slowly relaxed.

"Let's go down to eat."

Turning around, he walked forward a few steps and arrived beside Gu Qingli. Seeing that Gu Qingli had no reaction, Mu Yi frowned slightly and walked out of the room.

After a long while, Gu Qingli finally touched her stomach, thinking that she shouldn't let the two babies in her stomach get away. She reluctantly walked down the stairs.

When he walked to the table, the dishes had already been served. Mu Yi Chen sat at the side and didn't move his chopsticks. Seeing Gu Qingli walk over, he picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat.

Gu Qingli supported her stomach with her hands as she slowly sat down in her seat. She still felt stifled. She picked up her chopsticks, but had no intention of eating.

"What's wrong? "Miss Gu, is today's meal unpalatable?"

Seeing Gu Qingli holding the chopsticks and staring blankly at the dishes without moving the chopsticks, the butler Uncle Zhao walked over and asked gently.

"No, no."

Gu Qingli quickly shook his head and lightly said, before picking up a potato and placing it in a bowl.

"Eat the meat."

Mu Yi Chen picked up a piece of pork chop and placed it into Gu Qingli's bowl, saying in a low voice.

He then placed the pork chop onto a plate and, without saying a word, buried his head into the bowl of rice.

Mu Yi lowered his chopsticks and looked at the dishes in front of him, but couldn't eat a single bite.

Gu Qingli didn't even look at him, treating him as if there was no one around as she quietly ate her meal.

"Do you have any relationship with Qin Zhiwei?"

With this unexpected sentence, Gu Qingli put down his chopsticks and looked at Mu Yi Chen.

As he recalled the events of the past few days, Gu Qingli felt a headache coming on. Her current life was like a caged canary, and the situation was even worse now. Even Mu Yi Chen was beginning to suspect her.

When she thought about how Qin Zhiwei's disgusting appearance had hurt her to this extent, how she, who was powerless, had no power or power to fight back. She could only be like a fish on the chopping block as she was slaughtered.

"Nope."

Gu Qingli tightly clenched her fists. Her eyes were so red that it seemed as though blood was about to drip out. She spoke the two words she felt wronged and resentful.

"What kind of relationship do you think we have?"

Staring intently at Mu Yi Chen, Gu Qingli's vision began to blur. She forced herself to look at him for a long time, and in the end, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist, so she propped herself up from the chair and walked up the stairs.

Mu Yi Chen was a bit helpless. Although he had expected her to say this and be angry, his heart still ached a little when this scene really happened.

He hadn't expected that even when he looked at her sad face, he would still feel a bit unhappy.

Seeing Gu Qingli angrily walk up the stairs, that frail figure seemed to only have a big belly left. Mu Yi Chen could not bear to see that.

It was only when Gu Qingli had climbed up the stairs and disappeared from his sight that Mu Yi Chen slowly stood up and followed behind Gu Qingli with a sense of unease. He then went up the stairs as well.

Gu Qingli tightly locked the door and lay on the bed. She felt very sad, but other than crying, there was nothing she could do.

Standing in front of Gu Qingli's room, Mu Yi Chen lightly knocked on the door, but didn't receive any response.

He pushed the door open, but it still didn't budge. At this moment, he felt like his heart was in a mess.

Lying on the bed, Gu Qingli cried for who knows how long before she finally stopped! Standing outside the door, Mu Yi Chen didn't know how long he stood there before he slowly walked back into his room!
