Chapter 773: Feng Mu Lives Next Door

car garage, Menglan was exhausted after much struggle and leaned weakly against the car seat, falling asleep. She was awakened by a pungent smell of smoke. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the...After the visit, Shen Hao took out a key from his pocket and handed it to her respectfully. "Miss Meng, this is for you. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll go to the supermarket right away."

"No, these are enough already." Menglan hurriedly waved her hand to refuse. Looking at Shen Hao, she couldn't help but ask again, "For me to stay here, it wasn't just the company's opinion, it was mainly Feng Mu who instructed you to do this, right"

Shen Hao helplessly twitched his lips, "Miss Meng, our company is very generous to our partners. You can rest assured and stay here. Staying here is good for both you and the group."

"Alright, then thank you." Menglan replied softly.

Since he had already said so much, it would be impolite of her to continue.

Then, Meng Lan took the key from Shen Hao's hand. After a brief exchange, she personally escorted him out of the room.

After Shen Hao left, Menglan rolled up her sleeves and started cleaning.

At first glance, this house seemed to be regularly cleaned. She simply swept away some dust, put on fresh sheets, and hung up her clothes.

Having done all that, Meng Lan went to the French window in the living room. She opened the window and leaned out, taking a deep breath of fresh air. Her mood was indescribably pleasant.

Sometimes, she had a dream: to live in a house by the sea.

Unexpectedly, it has actually come true now.

Just as she was enjoying her own little world, suddenly there was a loud "bang" from the neighboring house, like it was about to blow the roof off. It gave her such a fright that she shivered involuntarily.

Seeing this, Menglan's originally good mood was instantly disrupted. She silently muttered in her heart: I never expected that the kind of bizarre neighbor from the TV drama would actually meet her!

I waited for a while, but the sound didn't stop. Instead, it became even louder.

"Bang!" A loud bang that even caused the windows on her side to shake several times.

Menglan was truly startled. She might as well pretend she didn't see anything. Just as she was about to close the window, a smell of burning suddenly wafted into her nostrils.

The scent suddenly made her heart race. She instinctively looked up and gazed towards the house next door.

Only a faint wisp of gray smoke was seen billowing out from the window, which was slightly ajar.

Wouldn't it be on fire

Menglan never expected that she had just moved in here for a short time, and she happened to catch the fire.

If the house next door isn't rescued in time, then... she'll be caught in the fire here too, and by then it will be too late!

Thinking of this, Meng Lan didn't have time to think too much. She hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed out.

She stood at the door, raised her hand, and pounded hard on the door next door, "Is anyone there Open the door, please open it!"

I waited for a long time, but no one opened the door.

But the acrid smell of cooking smoke in the house grew stronger and stronger, making it hard to breathe. She couldn't help but cough violently.

This isn't going to work!

Meng Lan bit her lip tightly, her heart pounding in her chest. All she could do was crane her neck and peek through the door crack.

Originally, she intended to scout the environment inside the house, but she didn't know which switch she had touched. All she heard was a "click" sound, and the door slowly creaked open.

Seeing this, Meng Lan's face showed surprise, but it only lasted for a second before she immediately ran into the room to put out the fire.

She barged into someone else's house without regard and searched everywhere in the living room and bedrooms for the source of the fire, but found nothing amiss. Yet, the intense smoke was overpowering.

After Meng Lan calmed down, she sniffed the tip of her nose a few times forcefully and suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a scent of vegetables mixed in with this thick smoke

Upon realizing the problem was in the kitchen, Menglan hurriedly ran to the bathroom and filled a basin with water. She then rushed towards the kitchen, pushing open the door to see a faint flame burning on the stovetop.

And that huge plume of smoke was emanating from here.

Realizing this, she no longer cared about anything and directly squeezed the basin in her hand, then pounced towards the stove.

With a whoosh, the flames vanished quickly, and the smoke gradually dissipated out the window.

"Ahem!" Just then, a man's light cough sounded.

Before Menglan could even catch her breath, she heard a voice. As if struck by lightning, she froze and slowly lifted her head to look at the man.

"Liu Xinarui, are you trying to kill me"

The man's voice held a hint of helplessness. He slowly turned, revealing his handsome profile.

I never expected it to be Mo Mu!

When Menglan saw him, her eyes widened in shock and the water basin in her hand clattered to the floor with a loud "pa".

It took her a long time to regain her thoughts, and she stammered, "How are you here"

"This is my house, why can't I be here" Feng Mu seemed to have expected her expression all along, leaning against the stove, his thin lips slightly curled, "It's you, how did you suddenly break into my house"

His house

Menglan's heart suddenly jolted, and immediately she carefully went over the events again. When she realized the truth of the matter, her eyes filled with anger.

"So that's how it is! You've been scheming against me since you had Shen Hao bring me to this neighborhood, haven't you" Menglan said angrily, "What company benefits It was all a deliberate scheme on your part!"

This is outrageous!

Meng Lan thought the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't want to say another word to Feng Mu, so she turned around and was about to leave.

Looking at her departing figure, Feng Mu's brows furrowed slightly. He subconsciously reached out and grasped her wrist, his tone laced with helplessness, "You really misunderstood."

"Do you think I'm playing mind games with you Do I have to almost burn down the house to make you understand" Feng Mu patiently explained to her, "I really didn't know you were going to live here. I just finished a night shift and got back not long ago. I was planning to cook myself a meal, but my skills aren't very good, and I almost caused a tragedy."

Feng Mu's tone was full of sincerity, making it hard not to be convinced.

Upon hearing this, Menglan's face showed a flicker of emotion, but she still questioned him.

"As the CEO of a company, why would you live in this residential area instead of your own luxurious home"

Although, the house prices here are not cheap either.

But for Feng Mu to stay here, it's really a bit beneath him.

"Because it's close to the company," Feng Mu spoke faintly, reminding her, "I've been busy with the projects in North China for the past month and barely got back home. For convenience, I stayed here."

"

Looking at Menglan's still distrustful eyes, Feng Mu could only open his mouth again to explain, "I moved here a month ago. If you don't believe me, you can go to the company to check. Even if I wanted to trick you, I couldn't have known a month in advance that you were coming to Haicheng!"
