There was still some time before Murong Chen returned, so the others were not in a hurry. They were all doing their own things.
This time, Uncle Yang, who was originally busy with all the work of the Murong Family, was much more relaxed. From time to time, he wanted to help but was pushed aside, and a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.
“Uncle Yang, don’t worry about us. We can handle the barbecue tonight,” Murong Qiao said casually.
At Uncle Yang’s age, it was time to pay attention to his health.
Although the workload at the Murong Residence was usually not heavy, Murong Qiao subconsciously didn’t want the other party to work too hard.
Although he was called a butler, he was treated more like an elder now. Speaking of the time…
As Murong Qiao placed the things she needed for tonight, she was thinking when she heard the sound of a horn coming from outside.
An Nuo heard it immediately. After exchanging glances with Murong Qiao, who was standing beside her, she wiped her hands and walked towards the door, planning to see the situation.
The person who returned was Xian Yu.
Previously, the other party had said that he was going to buy something, but his efficiency was fast enough. Not long after, he returned with a few big bags. “Give me a hand.”
When the two of them ran to the door, Xian Yu was standing at the trunk of the car, seemingly rummaging through something.
Murong Qiao and An Nuo hurriedly went forward. When they got closer, they realized that Xian Yu had really bought a lot this time. He had brought back a lot of things.
Because there were too many bags, they had to be divided into two portions and stuffed back. Murong Qiao was in charge of categorizing them, while Xian Yu and An Nuo went back first.
During this trip, another car slowly drove in from outside and arrived in front of Murong Qiao. It was in a familiar low-key black style.
This time, there was no need for anyone to come down. Murong Qiao could tell from the license plate that it was her Big Brother’s car.
She packed her things and hurriedly put them aside. Then, she waved at Murong Chen, who had just gotten out of the driver’s seat. Her face was obviously happy.
“Big Brother!”
Murong Qiao’s shout successfully attracted Murong Chen’s attention.
It was also coincidentally heard by Xian Yu and An Nuo, who had just come out of the house.
Yes, I came back a little late,” Murong Chen replied. “What’s missing?”
“No need, no need. Fifth Brother and I will bring the rest back.” Murong Qiao shook her head.
There was not much left in the car. She could even bring it back alone if she worked a little harder.
But thinking of An Nuo’s thoughts… Murong Qiao turned around and gave An Nuo a look at an angle that Murong Chen couldn’t see.
Although Xian Yu usually didn’t pay attention to this, his Little Sister’s actions and An Nuo’s slightly red face made him understand immediately. Hence, he took the initiative to agree.
“Qiaoqiao and I will do it.” Xian Yu beat An Nuo to it and walked in Murong Qiao’s direction, unable to give An Nuo a chance.
It was precisely because of Xian Yu’s action that Murong Chen noticed that there was a guest at home today.
He looked at An Nuo, who was standing on the steps at the entrance of the house. The words he was about to say immediately stopped in his mouth, and he revealed a rare surprised expression.
The person who he was clearly thinking of just now had appeared in front of him.
An Nuo had already noticed Murong Chen the moment he appeared, so she also noticed his expression at this moment.
“H-hello.” She smiled and wanted to greet him, but her movements were too smooth, and she almost bit her tongue.
She almost made a fool of herself.
When Murong Qiao saw this, she pulled Xian Yu away quickly and entered the living room with the things, leaving the space for Murong Chen and An Nuo.
“I didn’t expect to see you here.” Murong Chen regained his natural expression not long after.
After greeting An Nuo, he lowered his body and took out the pastries he had bought on the way back.
However, because there were too many bags, it was not easy for Murong Chen to take them. An Nuo stood at the side and took the initiative to take a step forward to reach out.
“I’ll help you.” An Nuo took a portion of the bags.
As they picked up the bags, their fingertips inevitably touched.
The sky that had already begun to darken was mixed with the coldness that made people tighten their coats, but the temperature of their fingertips became especially obvious.
It was like a smear of oil on a pure white canvas. It was so eye-catching that it was an unforgettable existence.
An Nuo retracted her hand and held the bag firmly in her hand, but her fingertips hidden under the drawstring couldn’t help but rub against each other, as if she was a little greedy for the touch just now.
“Thank you. Let’s go in together. It’s very cold outside.” Murong Chen didn’t say anything when he saw this.
In any case, it was only a short distance to the house. He had already gone in when he spoke.
An Nuo nodded and followed Murong Chen in the direction they came from without saying anything.
As the sky was about to turn dark, the warm yellow light at the entrance of the
Murong Residence was also turned on. The mellow light seemed to make people unable to stop approaching. The moment they saw it, they suddenly felt like they were home.
An Nuo carried the bag and walked side by side with Murong Chen. She was afraid that the atmosphere would be too silent, so she took the initiative to speak without thinking.
“Is it very busy at the company? I feel like I haven’t seen you in a few days.”
As soon as she said this, An Nuo couldn’t help but look vexed. She felt that she should not have mentioned such a topic when the other party had just gotten off work.
However, Murong Chen answered seriously, “Shengjing Group has been under a lot of pressure recently.”
“Ah…” An Nuo replied.
She didn’t dare to look at the person beside her, so after floating around, she could only land on the ground.
However, the thoughts in her mind couldn’t help but become active amidst the nervousness.
They went home side by side and even helped each other carry things…
She suddenly felt like she was living a married life.
For some reason, this thought suddenly appeared in An Nuo’s mind. After being stunned for a moment, she secretly sized up Murong Chen beside her.
The sky that had yet to set was a pale blue color.
Such a light color seemed to set off the lines of the man’s face. It was so sharp and beautiful that one couldn’t take their eyes off him.
All she could see was him.
An Nuo had just taken a look when she subconsciously forgot to take a step forward and stepped on the steps approaching her.
“Be careful.” Murong Chen reacted quickly and reached out to help her up.
An Nuo immediately blushed. “I’m fine, I’m fine!”
She was the one who almost fell, but her voice was magnified as if something had happened to Murong Chen.
And if he supported her—
Sensing the distance between the two of them, the familiar fragrance suddenly triggered their sense of smell.
At that moment, An Nuo really felt her heart skip a beat.
“I’ll take the bags. Go in first.” Murong Chen was helpless.
He didn’t want the guest to get injured before they could eat.
In the living room, Murong Qiao and Xian Yu had already sorted out the things they had brought back and placed them aside for the barbecue at night.
The courtyard is almost ready. I’ll call Fourth Brother and the others.” Murong Qiao pointed upstairs.
Seeing this, Xian Yu also said, “Then I’ll go look for Second Brother and Third Brother.”
After they parted ways, Murong Zheng brought Murong Chuan for today’s physical examination. He casually found an excuse and said that he was in the study on the first floor, so Xian Yu rushed over.
Among the remaining people, only Yan Xiu stayed in his room on the second floor. He was probably designing again..
