Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Did You Quarrel with Young Master Qian?

For dinner, she made pumpkin soup and millet porridge.

Sitting face to face during the meal, neither of them spoke a word. Halfway through, he took a call and went upstairs.

Gu Qili thought that his stomach problems must have been caused by such irregular eating habits.

She sighed quietly, put his unfinished half-bowl of porridge and soup into the insulated pot, planning to let him continue after his call. Her own appetite wasn’t good today either, and she didn’t eat much.

The next morning, Gu Qili got up to make breakfast and found that the food she’d put in the insulated pot was still untouched; he hadn’t come back to eat.

After hastily eating a few bites of toast, Mu Shuoqian’s door was still tightly closed, Gu Qili didn’t call for him, covered the food on the table with something and then shouldered her backpack and left the house.

Unexpectedly, she saw Yuan Yi at the door. He was dressed neatly, sitting properly in the car. Seeing her come out, he quickly opened the car door and got out: "Good morning, madam."

"Good morning." Gu Qili gave him a big smile.

"Madam, are you heading to school?"

"Yes."

"I happen to have some business over there, and it’s on the way. How about I give you a ride?"

Gu Qili looked back at the freshly closed door and pursed her lips.

Yuan Yi seemed to read her thoughts and explained with a smile, "Young Master Qian is taking a day off today; he won’t be leaving the house."

Gu Qili got into the car and naturally sat in the back. In this seat arrangement, he always preferred to sit on the right, so she naturally took the left. He had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, and was hard to change once he got used to something.

As they were approaching the school, Yuan Yi suddenly said, "Madam, did you and Shuoqian have a fight?"

He was never one to pry, probably because her complexion really was off. She was usually positive and optimistic, rarely so somber.

Gu Qili shook her head — a fight? That was an interaction between couples and lovers; such things didn’t exist between them. Most of the time, she was compelled to compromise before any argument started, and to provoke someone like Mu Shuoqian into an argument was even harder than reaching the sky. Dealing with her required nothing more from him than a single look.

"I just don’t understand him."

Yuan Yi looked as if he understood: "That’s just the way Young Master Qian is, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, his emotions are never easily revealed. Just like the trouble madam encountered this time, Young Master Qian was already en route abroad on a plane. But once he received the message, he changed flights midway and came back. When you saw him yesterday morning, he had just arrived home after a whole day of traveling."

Surprised, Gu Qili sat up straight, gripping the back of her chair, almost leaning halfway out of her seat, startling Yuan Yi as she spoke.

"He came back specifically because of my issue?" Only then did she remember how he had left in a rush that morning, as if he had a business trip.

Yuan Yi nodded, perhaps because he was too close, he subtly shifted to the side, as if to avoid suspicion.

"Madam, Young Master Qian truly treats you differently. I’ve been with him for seven years and I pride myself on understanding him more than anyone else, that’s why I dare to make such a bold statement."

Gu Qili sighed: "But he said it was because I bear the name Mrs. Mu, and if I had any trouble, it would be his face that would be lost."

"Do you believe that?"

To be honest, when he said that yesterday, it really hurt her feelings, but laying in bed last night thinking about it, it seemed full of loopholes, inexplicable as to what was wrong but it just felt odd.

Yuan Yi smiled, unaware to her, she was becoming more and more concerned with Mu Shuoqian, which was why his words could leave her feeling so pained and troubled.

Slowly stopping the car at the entrance of the Australian University, he spoke again: "Madam, I was too talkative today. Matters between you and Young Master Qian should be understood by you two directly. Please take my words merely as a reference."

With Yuan Yi’s words in mind, Gu Qili got out of the car and headed to her dormitory, only to see two people who seemed to have been waiting for a while at the entrance. **
