Chapter 142 I've Seen Your Photo
As an alumnus of K University and an investor in laboratory projects, Mu Qingyuan has his own access card to enter K University regardless of his identity.
But today he was stopped outside the door. His identity as an alumnus was not enough, so he had to reveal his identity as an investor.
After a careful check outside the door, he was asked to register, and he also carefully reminded him: "Mr. Mu, during the holidays, many areas of the school are not open, you can just take a simple nostalgic stroll."
"OK, thanks."
Mu Qingyuan nodded politely towards the door and glanced inconspicuously at a figure standing upright outside the sentry box.
After entering the campus, he did not call Jian Zhinian. He wanted to give him a surprise, but walked directly towards the laboratory with Nian Nian in his arms.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped again at a distance of several hundred meters.
"Sir, please stop."
Mu Qingyuan paused and said, "Can't we pass through here?"
The man was dressed in formal attire and had a stern expression. He said, "It's a temporary curfew. Sir, you can come back later."
Mu Qingyuan nodded, with a plan in mind. He turned around with Nian Nian in his arms, tapped the little girl's brow, and said, "Uncle is busy, we can't go in. Do you want to play here or go home?"
"Dad, I want to play here..." Nian Nian answered without hesitation.
For a child, the freedom of the outdoors is always more attractive than the freedom of the indoors.
"Okay, I'll take you to where the big brothers and big sisters are."
Mu Qingyuan turned around and walked back holding Nian Nian in his arms. Suddenly, a fresh and fragrant breeze blew by and a figure passed by him.
The face he accidentally saw from the corner of his eye made him turn back without thinking...
Mu Qingyuan had never met Song Simin, but the photo on the marriage certificate had such a huge impact on him that the woman's face in the photo had always sunk deep into his mind.
He didn't expect that the woman also looked back blankly, and their eyes met, and their gazes quickly exchanged.
In Mu Qingyuan's eyes, there was obvious astonishment in Song Simin's eyes, but it soon brightened up, revealing a sense of sudden enlightenment.
She seemed a little surprised by this unexpected encounter, but it was understandable.
"Are you Mu Xingchen? I've seen you before."
Song Simin turned around and looked at Mu Qingyuan generously. The man's face was more profound and steady than in the photo, and there was less gentleness between his eyebrows. He looked at her with inquiring eyes and undisguised hostility.
Mu Qingyuan was also looking at Song Simin, who had a simple and capable low ponytail, elegant makeup, a white work suit with a black blazer, an over-the-knee skirt, and black leather high heels without any decoration.
It is easy to tell her identity from her makeup and dress, her temperament is excellent, and her expression when speaking is strong yet gentle.
Mu Qingyuan also turned around, still holding Nian Nian in his arms. He concealed the hostility in his eyes and made himself look more calm.
"Ms. Song, do you know me?"
Song Simin was a little surprised by the simple address and said, "I have seen the photo once. Did Zhinian mention me to Mr. Mu?"
Mu Qingyuan pursed his lips, nodded, and said, "I did."
He didn't know much about Song Simin, so he spoke only briefly and even with a hint of testing in his words.
At the same time, he was secretly shocked that Jian Zhinian actually kept his photos and exposed him in his marriage?
From Song Simin's attitude towards him, there was no obvious hostility. I wonder how Jian Zhinian described himself, a student? Or a friend?
After hearing his answer, Song Simin's expression became visibly casual.
"Really? I thought that with his personality, he would never mention me in front of you. Before the New Year, I asked him out for tea, but you didn't know that he was so cold and perfunctory."
Jian Zhinian actually met Song Simin before the Lunar New Year last year. When was it?
Mu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, his heart was in turmoil, but his face remained calm.
"Really? Zhizhi is slow to warm up, don't blame her, Miss Song."
Song Simin couldn't help but be disgusted by the sour smell of love, and her eyes fell on Nian Nian in Mu Qingyuan's hands.
"Hello, little guy. When I first saw you, you were as small as a cat. In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big. To tell you the truth, you look quite similar to me..."
Song Simin said the last sentence to Mu Qingyuan.
Mu Qingyuan frowned. What does this woman mean?
Seeing someone greet her, Nian Nian blinked and said politely: "Hello, Auntie."
Mu Qingyuan's eyes flashed.
Hello, auntie?
Nian Nian, don’t you know Song Simin?
Song Simin wanted to say something, but the phone in her bag rang. She answered it immediately, her expression instantly serious, and said, "Okay, leader, I'm at the door of the laboratory, come in right away."
After saying that, Song Simin took out a cowhide notebook from her bag, wrote a string of numbers with a pen, tore it off, and handed it to Mu Qingyuan.
"We were in a hurry to meet today, so I don't have a business card. Here's my phone number. If you need me someday, you can contact me."
Mu Qingyuan twisted the half piece of paper between his fingertips, looked at Song Simin's back, and fell into deep thought.
This woman was the one that Jian Zhinian had chosen to marry once...
He watched her enter the laboratory unimpeded, and Jian Zhinian should be inside the laboratory.
Mu Qingyuan pursed his lips, and the lines on his face unconsciously tightened.
"Dad, aren't you happy?"
Hearing the soft voice beside his ear, Mu Qingyuan came back to his senses and realized his gaffe.
"No." He retorted instinctively.
"Dad, don't be unhappy. Nian Nian will share one of her favorite cheese sticks with you." As she said that, Nian Nian took out a stick from her pocket, opened it and stuffed it into Mu Qingyuan's mouth.
The sudden aroma of milk filled his mouth, and Mu Qingyuan was stunned.
This little girl calls him "Dad" all day long, and he is actually quite used to it...
This feeling is really terrible.
"Come on, I'll take you to play." Mu Qingyuan looked deeply in the direction of the laboratory, then turned and went in another direction.
On the way, Nian Nian asked curiously: "Dad, who was that aunt just now? We don't want to see her anymore."
"Nian Nian doesn't like her?"
"I don't like her. Dad gets unhappy whenever he sees that auntie. Nian Nian doesn't like her."
Mu Qingyuan whispered: "She should be your mother."
"No! Dad, you're talking nonsense. Grandma told me since I was a child that I don't have a mother!" When it comes to this, Nian Nian's little face becomes serious.
Mu Qingyuan: ...
Since childhood? How old are you...
This child is good in every way, but he can't tell his father from his mother and can't find the right one...
At the same time, Jian Zhinian was also caught off guard when he saw Song Simin in the laboratory, and he stood there in shock...
