Since Boss Mu intends to keep it a secret, Lin Junyang naturally won’t expose him.
"Um, Boss Mu’s current mission is quite special. He hasn’t returned to the team yet, and it might be after the New Year."
"Oh," An Ran responded, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, "then I’ll thank him after the holidays."
"Alright." Lin Junyang thought, by the time the Spring Festival is over, Boss Mu’s injury should almost be healed, and he should be back in the team.
"Brother Lin, are you spending the Spring Festival at the team base?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
Lin Junyang originally intended to ignore the foolish woman in front of him, but seeing An Ran looking at him, he gave in. For the sake of Boss Mu’s woman, he nodded at Xiao Xiao: "I should be spending it at the team base, but if I get time off, I might go home. It’s not decided yet."
"Brother Lin, is your family in C Province?" Xiao Xiao grew even more curious, completely unaware that Lin Junyang’s expression was turning darker.
"Then is your home far away, Brother Lin? If you can’t go home, could you spend the holidays with a friend’s family in C Province?"
"No." The word was almost forced out between gritted teeth.
Seeing Xiao Xiao still wanting to ask something, Lin Junyang preemptively said, "Tuzi, I’ll take you guys back."
Since they couldn’t find Mu Xingfeng, naturally, they wouldn’t stay longer. An Ran pulled at Xiao Xiao, who still had questions, "Let’s go back."
Xiao Xiao’s eyes were still bright. When Lin Junyang got in the car, she climbed into the passenger seat. Just as she was about to speak, An Ran grabbed her.
This girl, how come she never noticed she could be this naive before? Liking someone doesn’t mean scaring them away. Poor Lin Junyang. If it were an ordinary man, he would’ve run off long ago.
Seeing An Ran holding her arm, Xiao Xiao was puzzled. Then she noticed An Ran giving her significant looks and glanced at Lin Junyang’s obviously troubled expression. It seemed Brother Lin had encountered something upsetting today.
Realizing Brother Lin was upset, Xiao Xiao smartly kept quiet. She decided to be a quiet and well-behaved girl who wouldn’t bother him.
On the other side, at the Imperial General Hospital, Mu Wanxin was pacing back and forth in front of the hospital bed, looking at the person on it.
"Hey brother, I heard Ruonan has gone back home. Did you chase her away?" When Mu Xingfeng was first hospitalized, she frequently saw that girl taking care of him, but recently she hadn’t seen her at all. After asking around, she learned the girl had gone back home. No need to ask, it must be this oblivious brother of hers who sent her away.
"Why should she stay here when I’m in the hospital?" Mu Xingfeng said, looking down at the notebook in his hand.
"Ha, why should she stay here? Brother, have you forgotten about the agreement with Grandpa?" Mu Wanxin was sure her brother had either thrown the agreement with Grandpa to the back of his mind or had the guts to defy the family head this time. "But, Brother, do you really have someone you care about? Do you want your older sister to bring her over for you?"
Seeing Mu Wanxin’s face lit up with gossipy excitement, Mu Xingfeng couldn’t help but tease her: "Sis, I heard Brother Wenxuan is coming back to the country in the next few days. Maybe you should go pick him up."
Sure enough, upon hearing Wenxuan’s name, Mu Wanxin’s whole face fell: "Don’t talk about such a downer thing, okay?"
Seeing Mu Wanxin , Mu Xingfeng got serious. He closed his notebook and said earnestly, "Sis, doesn’t Brother Wenxuan treat you well? If you really don’t like him, you can tell Grandpa. Grandpa loves you so much. If you say no, he would never force you to marry him."
