Hua Chang's eyebrows slightly wrinkled, her pupils contracted, and she looked at Qi Mu in surprise: "I can handle Zining's parent-teacher conference by myself. You don't have to take it to heart. Qi's affairs are more important."

Although there is a high possibility that the Shen family and the Qi family will marry in the future, nothing has been decided yet.

They have already troubled Qi Mu a lot, and Hua Shang doesn't intend to owe him too much.

Besides, she is now divorced from Bo Yunyan, and even the school cannot force the divorced "father" to attend the parent-teacher meeting.

Qi Mu seemed to not understand Hua Chang's polite refusal and said to himself, "I will attend the parent-teacher meeting on time. I won't force myself."

His tone was firm, and there was no perfunctory look in his eyes.

The two looked up and their eyes met.

Hua Chang didn't understand why he was so persistent. Could it be that he really wanted to be Bo Zining's father?

But they have not known each other for long, and she is a divorced woman. How could Qi Mu be interested in her when there are so many outstanding people he doesn't like?

Hua Chang's feelings for Qi Mu are complicated and contradictory.

She didn't intend to get entangled with him before they officially confirmed their relationship.

The words of rejection came to my mind again.

"Mom!" Bo Zining tugged at Hua Chang's skirt, looking up at her with red eyes: "Other classmates have their parents come to the parent-teacher conference, I want one too."

Hua Chang's heart was broken, and she squatted down to comfort Bo Zining with heartache.

She is so selfish.

He only cared about using adult thinking to demand himself and others, without considering the difficulties Bo Zining faced at school.

Hua Chang picked up Bo Zining and said, "Thank you for your help."

For the sake of her child, she had to ask Qi Mu for help.

Hua Chang thought that it would be good to pay it off when there is a chance in the future.

Shen Changmin came back after answering the phone. He was preoccupied and didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between the two.

He picked up his coat and put it on his arm: "Shang Shang, there is something at the Shen family that I have to go back to deal with. I will take you back first."

Hua Chang was about to nod in agreement when a voice spoke faster than her.

"Mr. Chen, if you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it. I can just take them back on the way." Qi Mu opened his thin lips slightly, his voice lazy and indifferent, but with a reassuring tone.

Bo Zining jumped out of Hua Shang's arms and threw herself into Qi Mu's arms. She looked so happy and smiling, where was the bitter face she had just had?

"I need my pretty uncle to send me off, so go get busy, big uncle."

Shen Changmin felt a little helpless, after all it was just a small and harmless request.

I have to go back to the Shen family as soon as possible.

"Okay, send me a message when you get home safely."

After giving his instructions, Shen Changmin left in a hurry.

Qi Mu noticed that Hua Shang was deliberately distancing herself, and was worried that he would scare her by being too warm, so he only interacted with Bo Zining the whole time.

He deliberately pretended to be very fond of the child, but the glances he cast at Hua Chang from time to time directly exposed his inner intentions.

Hua Chang was helpless, her eyes focused on the car window, her heart in a mess.

"Great! We're home! Thank you, handsome uncle." Bo Zining thanked him obediently.

Hua Shang nodded: "Thank you for your help."

"Don't be so polite to me." Qi Mu pursed his lips and looked at her straight.

Hua Shang thanked her again and fled with Bo Zining. Her accelerating heartbeat made it almost impossible for her to hide her emotions.

She knew too well the glance just now. When she looked at Bo Yunyan seven years ago, she was also filled with such emotion and deep affection.

Times have changed, and she is no longer a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love. Why would her heart skip a beat because of such a passionate gaze?

…

On the other side, the Bo family.

"What did you say? A parent-teacher conference?"

Bo Yunyan closed the current work page on the tablet and turned to look at Bu Zishen, who was still holding a mobile phone and operating it with both hands beside him.

The book, which vaguely heard his question, nodded vaguely.

Bo Yunyan was impatient and took the phone away and threw it aside: "Let's make things clear first."

Eager to get back on track, Book glared at him, but ultimately didn't dare disobey him: "The school is having a parents' meeting, and the teacher requires every student's parents to attend."

He didn't care whether Hua Chang participated or not. He would just ask Aunt Mengli for help when the time came.

Tell Bo Yunyan, just to inform him.

When the news reached Bo Yunyan's ears, its meaning instantly changed.

When we hold a parent-teacher meeting, don’t all the parents have to sit together?

Even if Hua Chang doesn't want to see him anymore, she won't be careless about Bo Zining's matter, right?

"What a godsend!" he couldn't help but murmur.

This is a rare opportunity to get close to Hua Chang, so I have to seize it.

After driving Bu Zishen, who was yelling and immersed in the game, out of the study, Bo Yunyan cleared his throat, practiced what he was going to say several times, and then dialed Hua Shang's number with great interest.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently busy. Please try again later..."

After calling several times, he heard the same mechanical female voice every time. Bo Yunyan realized belatedly that he might have been blocked.

A breath felt like a rock blocking my chest, unable to go up or down.

He gritted his teeth and sent messages to the other contact information of the two.

[I heard that the school is going to hold a parent-teacher meeting. I will attend it on time.]

【Remove my number from the blacklist so that we can contact you later】

Several messages fell on deaf ears.

Hua Chang expected that he would not give in, so she blocked him long ago.

Bo Yunyan was a little frustrated after waiting for a long time without any response. In the past, Hua Chang would reply enthusiastically even if he just sent a punctuation mark.

Now that I'm actively contacting her, she's ignoring me?

After hitting the bookshelf hard, Bo Yunyan gasped in pain and regained some of his sanity.

"Okay, very good. You have to go to the parents' meeting, right? We'll see, Hua Chang!"

He planned to wait until the parent-teacher meeting to stop Hua Shang and question her.

At this moment, Hua Chang was feeling overwhelmed and had no intention of paying attention to Bo Yunyan.

"Bo Zining!" Hua Chang rarely let out a hint of anger: "Are you even listening to me?"

Bo Zining, who was bullied, poked her little finger innocently and nodded frantically: "Yeah, yeah! I heard it!"

Hua Chang flicked her head harshly and said, "You've been going too far lately! Didn't Mom ever tell you not to bother others casually? You made me really angry today!"

Of course she wasn't really angry. She was just afraid that this little fool would be completely defenseless and be easily cheated.

"Mom, the handsome uncle is none other than you."

"You still say that!"

Hua Chang patted her little butt and said sternly, "No matter what, you can't do this again unless it's necessary. Do you understand?"

Bo Zining pursed her lips and agreed reluctantly.

She was not trying to bother Qi Mu, she was trying to create an opportunity for them to get along. The stupid mother didn't understand her good intentions at all!

The next day.

Hua Chang was busy with the work at hand when the sales manager suddenly came over and knocked on her desk.

"Hua Shang, go with Xiao Wang and the others tonight to discuss Mr. Wang's project."
