"Have you eaten breakfast?" Mu Yinyin looked at Jiang Ling, noticing the weariness on his face. She guessed he hadn't slept the previous night.
Jiang Ling's eyes flickered, and before he could speak, Mu Yinyin clearly understood. She said, "I'll have some breakfast sent over. After you eat, don't go anywhere. Get some sleep first."
Jiang Ling curved his lips slightly, "I'm fine, Yinyin. You don't need to worry about me."
"Be good?" Mu Yinyin looked at him. "If you're not feeling well, I'll worry too. With Xiao Qi's current condition, we absolutely cannot afford any more accidents. Otherwise, her life might really be lost. It's still early. Once we deal with Gao Zhusheng, everyone else will be easier to handle. We just need to talk and offer them some benefits. There's no need for you to go without rest."
Jiang Ling's eyelids trembled slightly. Was Yinyin worried about him?
He looked at Mu Yinyin, momentarily speechless.
Mu Yinyin's gaze shifted. She didn't say anything more and walked to the landline, calling the front desk to order some food before hanging up.
Jiang Ling's brows furrowed slightly, "You only ordered one portion?"
"Yes, I've already eaten. After I left Gao Zhusheng's place yesterday, I was in a daze. I woke up very hungry this morning." Mu Yinyin walked to the sofa and sat down, not in a hurry to leave, planning to wait until Jiang Ling finished breakfast before departing.
Neither of them spoke further. Perhaps Jiang Ling wanted to say something but felt it was inappropriate. He was a bit down at the moment and didn't feel like talking.
The living room suddenly fell silent.
It was the sound of the doorbell that broke the quiet. Seeing Mu Yinyin about to get up to open the door, Jiang Ling immediately said, "I'll go."
With that, he walked towards the door, and Mu Yinyin stopped moving.
Soon, Jiang Ling brought the breakfast to the dining table.
Mu Yinyin sat opposite him and smiled, saying, "Eat first."
Jiang Ling nodded. Not wanting to worry Mu Yinyin, he chose to eat.
Fifteen minutes later.
Jiang Ling finally looked at Mu Yinyin and asked, "Are you relieved now?"
"No, you still need to rest," Mu Yinyin said, her voice firm as she looked at him.
Jiang Ling felt a warmth in his heart and nodded, "Alright, I'll do as you say. You... you should rest too. While I'm resting, don't go anywhere, Yinyin. Don't make me worry."
Mu Yinyin immediately nodded, "Don't worry, I won't leave."
She spoke truthfully, and only then did Jiang Ling feel somewhat at ease.
"Then I'll go rest."
"Mm."
Thus, neither of them said anything more.
Mu Yinyin also returned to her room.
She put down her bag and sat on the sofa in the living room, her expression gradually returning to calm.
However, before she could think too much, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Gu Xiaoqi calling.
Mu Yinyin was a little surprised and answered.
"What's wrong? Are you bored, my darling?" Mu Yinyin's lips curved into a smile, her voice particularly gentle.
Although Jiang Ling was worried about her incident, she knew that Jiang Ling would absolutely not reveal anything, nor would he let Gu Xiaoqi and Li Chuan know.
Therefore, Mu Yinyin answered Gu Xiaoqi's call with a clear conscience, without any worries.
"Yes, yes! I'm so bored! How's your business trip going? When will you be back? I really miss us four sitting together and eating seafood."
Mu Yinyin chuckled lightly, "When you get better, you can eat anything."
"Wuwuwu..." Gu Xiaoqi said pitiably, "I want to get better too. I've been very cooperative, but I still can't be discharged from the hospital."
"Well, who told you you were so picky about food before? If you don't take good care of your body, this is the consequence. Being confined for two months will teach you what happens when you're picky about food again. Perhaps you'll never think about coming out again."
"Ah! No!!!" Gu Xiaoqi was utterly despairing, "Do I really have to lie down for two months!"
"Who knows? It depends on your body's condition. After all, your foundation isn't very good, so you really need to recuperate slowly."
Gu Xiaoqi: "..."
She suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
Mu Yinyin smiled lightly and said, "Alright, don't think too much about it. Just recuperate well in the hospital for now. The auction hasn't officially started yet, and I still have a few days before I can go back."
"Sigh... Then these few days you can go around with Boss Jiang and have some fun. Wuwuwu... I'm so envious of you." Gu Xiaoqi was incredibly envious. "I'm still miserably getting an IV drip, yingyingying... I really need some comfort."
Mu Yinyin couldn't help but chuckle, "What about Ah Chuan?"
"Sigh, Ah Chuan is in a meeting and not in my room at the moment. He'll probably be back in a while."
"Okay, then I'll chat with you for a bit. We'll hang up when he comes back."
"Ah, that's too kind of you. You could totally go out and have fun."
"Boss Jiang is resting, and there's nothing much happening this morning."
"Aowu!!! That's great!!!" Gu Xiaoqi's voice was filled with excitement.
Thus, Mu Yinyin chatted with Gu Xiaoqi for over an hour before Li Chuan returned.
Li Chuan spoke a few words with Mu Yinyin, briefly inquiring about the situation, and then said lightly, "In that case, let's hang up for now. Xiaoqi also needs to rest."
"Aowu... it's still early. We can chat a little longer."
"Be obedient."
The voice from the other end of the phone made Mu Yinyin chuckle, "Got it. Then you two should also get some rest soon. We'll be back in a few days."
"Mm, be careful."
"Okay."
Thus, they hung up the phone.
In the living room, silence returned.
Mu Yinyin then began to recall, little by little, the events of yesterday and today.
Gao Zhusheng's actions were unacceptable. After she returned to the country, she would naturally find a way to get back at him. She was never one to let things slide. Since he dared to scheme against her, she wouldn't hesitate to settle the score.
However...
Mu Yinyin was very surprised to see Fu Siye here, and even more so that Fu Siye had saved her...
The last time she told Fu Siye she was going out, she hadn't expected him to come over too. Coming to Country M at this time must be for the auction.
Then, what was Fu Siye intending to auction this time?
A hint of contemplation flashed in Mu Yinyin's eyes.
However, before she could figure it out, her phone began to vibrate non-stop again.
It wasn't a call.
It was a WeChat message.
Looking at the screen, she saw that she had received over ten WeChat messages. Upon opening them, they were all pictures.
And as Mu Yinyin took in the content of the pictures, her expression grew colder.
Immediately after, Meng Tao's text message also came through.
—Meng Tao: [President Mu, this is roughly how it is. What do you need me to do next?]
After looking through all the photos, Mu Yinyin directly typed a reply.
