Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Let’s Talk in the House

Gu Qili raised her head and wiped the sweat off his face with her finger: "What’s wrong, had a nightmare?"

Mu Shuoqian didn’t speak, just held her even tighter, until Gu Qili felt her waist was about to break.

After a while, Mu Shuoqian slowly released his arms, his expression indifferent.

He sat up, took a cigarette, and started smoking slowly against the headboard. After several puffs, he finally answered: "Yeah, I had a nightmare."

Gu Qili couldn’t imagine what kind of nightmare could frighten Mu Shuoqian so much, but she didn’t ask. Seeing that he was unharmed, she lay back down again.

Mu Shuoqian smoked, his mind still replaying the fragments of the dream, where that voice kept repeating, entangling him: "Mu Shuoqian, let go. It’s not too late to pull back from the brink, don’t fall deeper, harming others and yourself."

Harming others and yourself, harming others and yourself...

He irritably stubbed out the cigarette and got up to leave.

Hearing the door close, Gu Qili couldn’t sleep anymore, feeling his mood was seriously affected by the dream.

After several days of meetings, they were about to return home with the delegation, and SN Company had prepared a small farewell dinner.

Mu Shuoqian disliked attending particularly noisy parties, and of course, the other party knew this, so they kept it very small, just like a casual gathering.

There was a dinner that evening, and nothing to do in the afternoon. Gu Qili said she wanted to go out and shop for some local products, but Mu Shuoqian had work to do and couldn’t accompany her.

The work was only halfway done when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Mu Shuoqian thought it was Gu Qili coming back, so he went to open the door, thinking she had just left and was already bored with shopping.

But the person standing outside the door wasn’t Gu Qili, it was a mixed raced face of Eastern and Western features, dressed in a black tight-fitting dress, tall and curvy, with a gorgeous face.

Mu Shuoqian frowned and was about to close the door when that woman suddenly squeezed her way in,

Regarding what she wanted to talk about, she believed Mu Shuoqian was well aware.

Mu Shuoqian didn’t even give her a glance, just said bluntly: "Get lost."

"Young Master Qian, don’t be so fierce. How about we go inside and talk it over slowly?"

Soon after Gu Qili left, she realized she had forgotten her wallet and cursed herself for being stupid, then hurried back, but as she approached the door, she heard the coquettish voice of a woman inside.

Mu Shuoqian had brought only a group of men for work, so why was there a woman here, and moreover, in his room.

Her first thought was of Xiaoyu.

Gu Qili was still hesitating whether to enter when an object suddenly flew out from inside, thumping against the opposite wall.

She focused her gaze only to be stunned—it wasn’t a blanket or a pillow being thrown out, but a living person.

Julie, like a flattened fly, slid down from the wall and fell hard to the floor. Sitting there, grimacing in pain, she looked as if she had fallen apart.

She hadn’t expected Mu Shuoqian to be so ruthless, tossing her out without a word. Was he blind, not seeing her figure and looks that could make any man bleed? Or was it that he was incompetent in that regard, detesting such matters?

After whining for a while, Julie noticed Gu Qili watching her and irritably cursed in French: "What are you looking at, bumpkin."

Gu Qili blinked twice and responded: "It’s a pity I didn’t capture that, otherwise I would definitely post it on my Moments."

"What did you say?"

"Oh, you understand Mandarin? What I mean is, you hitting the wall looked just like a pancake."

After saying that, Gu Qili shook her head, didn’t enter the room, and continued her shopping. No wallet, just window shopping.

Because Mu Shuoqian’s face must be very ugly right now.

Julie: "..."

She stomped her foot in frustration, damn it, what did these people take her for, what did they think this place was,
