Chapter 61: Awakening

  Mu Ao Yun's entire face was shrouded in dark clouds, as if a storm was about to strike. He gazed at Tian Nuan Yu with an icy stare, but said nothing.

  Tian Nuanyu was also stunned there, staring at him. When she saw Mu Ao Yun, her rationality, which had been burned out by anger just now, seemed to have returned to its original position in an instant.

  At this moment, Tian Nuoyu suddenly woke up and wondered what she had just said to Mu Yuxin. After so many years of training to be calm and self-controlled, how did she suddenly lose control just now?

  Tian Nuoyu's heart was filled with regret.

  "Follow me!" Mu Ao Yun suddenly said in a low voice, and then turned around and went downstairs to the study.

  Tian Nuanyu knew that things had come to this, Mu Ao Yun would know sooner or later, and it was best for her to solve the problem now. It seemed that this should be her last day in Jingxue Mountain Villa.

  Tian Nuoyu also went downstairs and followed Mu Ao Yun into the study, closing the door behind them.

  Mu Ao Yun entered the study and stood in front of the window. He didn't speak immediately, but instead gazed silently at the dark sky outside.

  Tian Nuoyu stood stiffly by the door, her head lowered and not saying a word.

  The entire study fell into a momentary silence, but it seemed as if an undercurrent was surging.

  This silence allowed Tian Nuoyu's thinking to return to normal, she thought back and forth, gradually organizing what she wanted to say to Mu Ao Yun, but Mu Ao Yun remained silent, and she too remained silent without speaking up.

  After a while, Mu Ao Yun took out a pack of cigarettes from his suit pocket. He was about to pull one out when he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the cup of snow pear iced sugar water on the table.

  This was sent to his study by Gui Shu half an hour ago, he glanced at Tian Nanyu standing at the door with her head down again, and let out a faint sigh, putting the cigarette case back into his suit pocket.

  He cast his gaze out of the window again at the pitch-black night sky, tonight there was no moon and no starlight, only endless darkness.

  "Are you trying to tell me that you've already made up your mind and decided to quit?" Mu Ao Yun suddenly spoke up in a low voice.

  Tian Nuoyu slowly lifted her head and looked at Mu Ao Yun, who was still gazing out the window without turning his head to look at her. She couldn't see the expression on his face.

  But Mu Ao Yun was indeed right, she had already calculated in her mind and was prepared to resign from Mu Ao Yun.

  Even if she didn't resign, Mu Yu Xin would definitely make Mu Ao Yun drive her away. Just now she spoke to Mu Yu Xin like that, Mu Yu Xin must be furious, right?

  "Are you done with this job? Is your next one already arranged?" Mu Ao Yun turned around and walked to the desk, leaning his body lightly on the edge of the table, looking straight at Tian Nuan Yu.

  "No, but I'll find another job soon!" Tian Nuanyu had already thought about this in her mind. After leaving here, she would give herself a day off and then go find a new job immediately. She believed that she could definitely find a job within a week.

  "Will the job I find next pay more than working here? Will it be easier?" Mu Ao Yun's voice was still low, and his face didn't show any emotions.

  "No!" Tian Nuanyu didn't know why Mu Ao Yun asked this, but she still answered frankly. She knew clearly that she wouldn't have trouble finding a job, but it would be very difficult to find another one with such high pay like her current one.

  "Haven't you thought of a reason to keep yourself here?"

  "Ah?" Mu Ao Yun's question was too unexpected for Tian Nuan Yu, and it made her even more confused about what Mu Ao Yun wanted to say.

  "Why did you come to do this job?"

  "This job doesn't matter to you at all, does it?"

  "Haven't you ever encountered unexpected things in your previous work? Haven't you ever met difficult customers? Is it that as soon as you encounter such a thing, you give up and leave?"

  Mu Ao Yun asked a series of questions in succession, his tone becoming increasingly serious, and the expression on his face also turned solemn.

  She had put these questions behind her in a moment of impulsiveness, and now Mu Ao Yun was asking them to her, it was like a sudden blow, making Tian Nuan Yu's ears ring.

  She finally understood that Mu Ao Yun was not going to scold her or give her a hard time for what had just happened between her and Mu Yu Xin, nor was he going to fire her outright, but rather remind her of the consequences of acting impulsively without thinking things through.

  Tian Nu Yu stared blankly at Mu Ao Yun, but her heart was stirred up with great waves.

  Mu Ao Yun turned his head sideways, his eyes gazing out the window at the dark and gloomy night sky. In a low voice, he said: "Mu Yu Xian should wake up, you should also wake up."

  Tian Nuanyu heard Mu Ao Yun call out Mu Yu Xing's name for the first time, and he directly stated that he was now discussing the matter at hand.

  Tian Nuanyu tightly pursed her lips and stared at Mu Ao Yun without saying a word.

  Mu Ao Yun turned his head, his eyes deeply gazing at Tian Nuan Yu, who spoke in a condensed voice: "What you need to reflect on is not what you did today, but your attitude towards the choices you've made for your own life!"

  Tian Nuanyu's heart suddenly shook violently, and she stared at Mu Ao Yun in a daze.
