39.Intertwined hands

A knock on the door brought Yang Ling from her thoughts, a sigh escaped her mouth which didn't go unnoticed by the man in front of her.

After the waiter left the room Mu Jiang looked at her before asking, " What are thinking?" Yang Ling just shook her head before she dug into her pasta.

Mu Jiang just stared at her but didn't voice out his thoughts, the look at her face was anything but nothing, the sad look on her face just gave him a numb sensation in his heart. Shaking his head he lowered his head while he pondered whether he should do as his heart says or his mind.

*Cough cough *

After confirming that he got her attention successfully Mu Jiang said, " I..actually I would like to continue the discussion that we had the day when we were in my office but couldn't because of a disturbance caused by my mother"

Mu Jiang was praying in his heart that Yang Ling could take his hint that whatever happened that day was his mother doing and not him.😣

Yang Ling blinked her eyes, "Mother?"

Mu Jiang's eyes brightened at her words, he nodded his head hurriedly, "Yes, Yes my mother actually she is always a busy body worrying about me but no worries I already dealt with her!"

Yang Ling raised her eyebrows at his reply, smirking at him, "Dealt with her! How?"🤨🤔

Mu Jiang grinned, "By calling my grandpa, one call and it should be enough to keep my mother in control"😁

Yang Ling laughed out loud, falling back in her chair and throwing her head back, " Aren't you afraid that he will bully her?" Yang Ling questioned him.🤣🤣

Mu Jiang felt happy after seeing her laughing, " It's okay my mother can be a pain in the ass sometimes, only my grandfather can control her" Thinking about his mother Mu Jiang gave a bitter smile but he quickly hid it with a grin.

After eating they completed their discussion and noted the points that they have to give their employees. By the time they finished, it was already 6 pm.

When walked out of the restaurant a cold breeze hit them and they shivered as they hugged their bodies. Seeing that Yang Ling didn't wear a coat he took of his and draped it over her shoulder. Mu Jiang took her hand and started walking towards his car.

Yang Ling peeked at their intertwined hands and a small smile made its way on her face. Clearing her throat she said, "I came in my car and it's that way!"

Mu Jiang didn't look the direction she pointed but opened the car door for her, " I will ask someone to drop it at your mansion."

Yang Ling shook her head at his commanding tone but still got into his car, Mu Jiang made a call before he started his car and drove to Yang Mansion.

Slowly the rain started to pour, the car was playing pleasant piano music and Yang Ling started to drift off into sleep.

Mu Jiang peeked at her and felt how good it would be to have this peace lifelong, he chuckled at his own thought.

.....

Yang Mansion

Yang Min just got out of the car when he saw another car approaching, at first he thought it was his sister but looking at the unfamiliar car he creased his eyebrows.

The car inner light was turned on showing a man along with his sleeping sister in the passenger seat. He walked towards her and pulled her out of the car and walked towards the entrance, he stopped and looked back before saying, "Please come inside" he then turned towards the butler, " Show him in and serve some tea"
