Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 672: He’s Dodging Me

Mo Shengyun stared at her phone for a long time. When she realized that Gu Mingye really wasn’t replying, she turned red with anger.

She stomped her feet and hailed a cab to Gu Mingye’s house.

Mo Shengyun rang the doorbell for a long time, but eventually, she gave up and took out a key from a hidden spot. It had been placed there by Gu Mingye.

She opened the door and walked in. At once, she was greeted by the dark, modern minimalist-style interior.

Gu Mingye lived alone. The apartment had only one bedroom and was about 50 square meters. It was spacious and clean.

Upon entering, she could see everything in the apartment clearly.

However, Gu Mingye’s house was empty!

No sign of him!

Mo Shengyun stomped her feet angrily and gritted her teeth.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed Mu Xichen’s number from her contacts.

Li Beinian laid on the bed and looked at Mo Shengyun’s comments with sympathy.

[Yang Dawu]: Oh, I see!

[Bai Yuan]:... Brother Ye isn’t such a person. I just gave him a Viagra yesterday!

[Ma Lin] @ [Bai Yuan]: Young man, you’ve exposed him.

[Zhou Xin]: Upstairs, well done. Seems like you have much need for that thing. Take care of your body!

[Wang Yuesheng]: Brother Ye is in good health. It’s said that he can do it seven times a night, three seconds a shot!

[He Yongwen] @ [Wang Yuesheng]: You’re a dead duck!

[Yang Dawu] @ [Wang Yuesheng]: You’re a dead duck!

[Bai Yuan] @ [Wang Yuesheng]: You’re a dead duck!

[Wang Yuesheng]:...

Li Beinian’s phone rang again.

She looked out of the doorway and shouted, “Shengyun’s calling you. Do you want to take it?”

Mu Xichen had just gone to the study and the bedroom door was open.

Very quickly, Mu Xichen’s voice was heard. “Answer it.”

“Oh!” Li Beinian swiped the screen. “Hello!”

When Mo Shengyun heard Li Beinian’s voice, a feeling of envy came over her. She pouted and shouted pitifully, “Sister-in-law, sob...”

“What’s wrong?” Li Beinian sat up when she heard the crying.

Although even without asking, she already knew what was going on.

Gu Mingye had suddenly requested to go on a business trip, and at the same time, Mo Shengyun had posted such a message on her WeChat Moments.

It seemed that there was some friction between them. Coupled with the pressure from the Mo family, their relationship was a little strained.

Sure enough, Mo Shengyun quickly asked, “Did Ah Ye go to your place?”

“No.”

“Sob, sob, sob... what does he mean by this!” Mo Shengyun sobbed as she wiped her tears. “He’s not answering my calls or replying to my messages. He’s not at home either. He’s avoiding me!”

Li Beinian’s heart wavered a little and her eyes glazed over.

At this point, Mu Xichen came back into the room, shut the door, and looked over at her.

Li Beinian frowned as the crying continued, and said, “No, don’t overthink it. He...”

She was about to tell the girl that Gu Mingye had gone on a business trip to Ming City, when she suddenly remembered the meaning behind Gu Mingye’s words.

It seemed... he had the intention of breaking up with Mo Shengyun!

If something like that were to really happen, wouldn’t she be just giving Mo Shengyun false hopes?

And if things should come to that, it would only make her even sadder.

Li Beinian didn’t know what to say. She frowned and suggested, “Maybe something came up for him.”

“No! He’s avoiding me on purpose!” Mo Shengyun sat on the sofa and said, “He thinks I don’t know. My grandpa must have said some nonsense to him again, so he doesn’t want to be with me. As though I have it any easier!”

As Mo Shengyun spoke, she started to cry loudly. “Sister-in-law, I really envy you. You can be with my cousin and no one in the family objects to it. Ah Ye and I are really unlucky... sob, sob, sob!”

Li Beinian was stumped.

No one was objecting because she didn’t have that many family members.

Apart from her grandfather, only the Chi family’s opinion mattered.

However, Mo Shengyun was different. She had a proper family.

Li Beinian coughed lightly and said, “Shengyun...”

“Ahhhhhhhh!” Mo Shengyun cried even harder now. “Ah Ye used to be like this. At that time, I really liked him. Obviously he liked me too, but because of what my grandpa and grandma said, he kept a distance from me and requested Brother Xichen to send him to border missions. He almost lost his life just to earn military merits...”

Li Beinian’s heart pounded as she listened to this and subconsciously looked towards Mu Xichen.

By now, Mu Xichen was already sitting at the edge of the bed, holding some sort of document in his hand.

Mo Shengyun’s crying continued, “Now that Ah Ye has gone missing again, and it’s not like he’s out earning military achievements. Where can he be!”

She then lowered her voice and asked, “Has he gone on a business trip?”

Li Beinian was surprised. “Oooh.”

Although Mo Shengyun seemed to always be in a daze and lived a carefree life, she appeared to know Gu Mingye quite well.

She wiped her tears and asked, “Where has he gone to? I’ll go look for him!”

Li Beinian was put on the spot. She looked at Mu Xichen and said, “Where has... Ah Ye gone to?”

Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow slightly. He immediately knew that Mo Shengyun was the one asking, and that Li Beinian couldn’t tell him directly, so she was seeking his opinion.

“Let him cool down for a bit first.” Mu Xichen said cautiously, “Let Shengyun accompany Grandpa and give Ah Ye some space to calm down. It’s good for everyone.”

Li Beinian agreed deeply and quickly repeated the message.

Mo Shengyun sobbed. “Did Brother Xichen say that?”

“Uh huh.”

“Let me talk to him.”

Li Beinian handed the phone over to Mu Xichen.

From start to finish, he did not say a word.

Even his expression was unchanged. After about seven or eight seconds, he said calmly, “There’s no need to speak further. This matter has to be resolved sooner or later. Now is a good time.”

Mo Shengyun was stunned and quickly asked, “What do you mean?”

“Exactly what I said.” Mu Xichen glanced at the time. “Think about it yourself. I still have something to attend to.”

Having said that, he hung up.

Li Beinian looked at his icy expression and was secretly taken aback. “Is it really okay doing this?”

“Shengyun is very smart. She knows what to do,” Mu Xichen said as he picked up the document. “Show me the photo of your mother.”

“What’s the matter?” Li Beinian asked as she got up and walked towards the drawer where she kept her marriage certificate.

She flipped through it and quickly took out the well-preserved photo.

She glanced at the piece of paper in Mu Xichen’s hand and realized that it was covered in densely packed written characters. The paper was yellow with age. It must have been around for a long time.

“What’s this?”

“A handwritten note.” Mu Xichen placed the piece of paper in front of Li Beinian. “Do you recognize whose handwriting this is?”

Li Beinian lowered her head to look at it.
