The house was small, and this limited space was obviously cramped, but there was an air of emptiness and loneliness. Mu Wan glanced at the room and thought it was insignificant. She turned around and went into the bedroom.
Mu Wan’s bedroom is also bare, except for the dull furniture. Mu Wan felt that her house had never been this empty before. She walked to the bedside, sat down, and flopped onto the bed. The events at Liu Qianxiu’s apartment resurfaced in Mu Wan’s mind.
It’s a distinct feeling that she has never had before.
There are three kittens, a bowl of noodle soup, and a man. Also, his smoke-filled kitchen and marble dining table are cold enough to rub her skin .… swirled through Mu Wan’s mind.
Anything that Lin Wei said was right, she was not afraid of loneliness, but she had taken this loneliness as the norm.
“It’s just a bowl of noodle soup.” Mu Wan murmured, feeling that she was too sensitive. After that, she laughed, got up, and went to the bathroom.
There was no schedule the next day, so Mu Wan stayed in bed as usual. At ten o’clock, she was awakened by the conversation outside the door. Hearing a familiar voice, Mu Wan got up from the bed with long hands and slender feet, walked hurriedly to the door, and opened the door.
Mother Wu was chatting outside the door with the big sister who lives opposite. Hearing the sound of opening the door, the old lady looked back, her eyes delighted, and said: “Have you just woken up?”
Mu Wan reached out, took the vegetable basket she was holding, and smiled, saying: “I woke up for a while but didn’t get up. Why didn’t you knock on the door when you came over?”
Mother Wu said goodbye to the big sister from the opposite door.
Mu Wan picked up the vegetables in Mother Wu’s hand and entered the house. Mother Wu said while closing the door, “I also just arrived.”
Mother Wu is in her sixties this year and is the Mu family’s helper. She watched Mu Wan grow from childhood to adulthood. Mu Wan’s mother is kind to Mother Wu, so since her mother died, Mother Wu has cared for her. After Mu Wan moved out of the Mu family’s residence a few years ago, Mother Wu would also come to her house when she was free to cook her a meal and clean up the house.
Mother Wu followed Mu Wan to the kitchen. The house was still the same as when she came last time. Mother Wu looked suspiciously into her eyes and looked back and forth twice. When she back her sense, Mu Wan leaned her shoulders on the door frame. Then, Mother Wu looked at her while holding her hand and said: “There was no one.”
Mother Wu was shocked by what was on her mind. She then smiled shyly. After that, she tentatively said: “Then how about yesterday?”
Mu Wan remembered that she went downstairs with Liu Qianxiu yesterday. At that time, they bumped into the opposite neighbor. Mother Wu and the neighbor were chatting so enthusiastically outside just now. She estimated that they were talking about her and Liu Qianxiu.
“The man who came yesterday was Doctor Liu. He came to my house to pick up the cat.” Mu Wan explained. Mu Wan is aware that Mother Wu cares for her and has never hidden anything from Mother Wu.
The light in Mother Wu’s eyes visibly dimmed.
While she was at the door earlier, the big sister from the opposite door said a man had come over. She said that the man was good-looking and looked very noble. She also said he matched Mu Wan very well with his nose and eyes. Mother Wu had a good time talking with her.
Mother Wu muttered, “You are not young anymore, taking out the ingredients from the vegetable basket. You haven’t had a lover for so many years? You may as well have dinner with a companion.”After hearing the last sentence, Mu Wan’s lipline twitched slightly, and her mind rippled. She looked at Mother Wu, who took the ingredients out, and asked, “why did you suddenly urge me today?”
Mother Wu wanted her to think about it in the past, but she never urged her.
Mother Wu looked up with a sigh and said, “Mu Qing brought her boyfriend back yesterday.”
When she mentioned Mu Qing, Mu Wan didn’t want to consider her further.
Mu Qing is a child of her uncle’s family. The two are cousins, and Mu Qing is only two months younger than Mu Wan. Mu Wan lived with his mother in Mu’s family house since she was a child, and her widowed mother had a bad reputation with her family. Mu Wan’s mother is still a member of the Mu family. Although she has the surname Mu, she has always been regarded as an outsider, and everyone in the Mu family hates her.
Mu Wan and Mu Qing were the same age but treated differently, especially after Mu Wan’s mother’s death. So, after Mu Wan could support herself, she moved out of the Mu family’s house.
Generally, a family will inevitably compare the child to each other. Since childhood, Mu Qing has never been compared to Mu Wan. When she was a child, he would cry out of anger about this. But now that she’s grown up and is a celebrity, she’s received an education that her emotions no longer flow to the surface.
“Her boyfriend is the future successor of the Shen family. The two of them met while traveling abroad. I think that man we talk about is an exceedingly powerful character.” Mother Wu sighed after finishing her evaluation, saying: “After so many years, she finally crushed you.”
Mu Wan looked at Mother Wu. Her eyes were full of clouds and breeze, and she pretended to smile unconvincingly: “Why did she crush me? Maybe I’ll find someone more powerful than her boyfriend.”
“Where are you going to find someone more powerful than hers?” Mother Wu squinted her eyes at Mu Wan.
Mu Wan joked: “The Shen family only relies on the Liu family. Maybe, I can find someone from the Liu family.”
Mother Wu looked at her, saw the joke in her eyes, and said, “Don’t ask too much. It’s better to find someone good for you to have a family again.”
Mu Wan smiles when she listens to Mother Wu’s advice.
Without continuing this topic, Mother Wu took out all the ingredients and asked Mu Wan, “What do you want to eat?”
Mu Wan glanced at the ingredients, licked her lower lip slightly, and said, “Yang Chun noodles.”
