Chapter 238 The lingering ghost

Coming out of the cinema, Wen Liang reached out and smoothed the hair by her side, saying, "Do you still have those materials that were judged unqualified at home?"

Meng Ce nodded, "I still have a batch at home. I was planning to deliver it to the owner's home, but it was reported before I could."

"Then let's go back to your house and get some."

"good."

The two came to the parking lot, Wen Liang sat in the driver's seat and Meng Ce sat in the passenger seat.

He fastened his seat belt and saw Wen Liang starting the car. He suddenly felt embarrassed and asked, "Sister, how about I drive?"

Wen Liang turned around and smiled, "Let me do it. You need to apply for your foreign ID before you can use it in China."

"I'll apply for it another day," said Meng Ce.

…

Half an hour later, Wen Liang stopped at the public parking space at the entrance of Mengce Community. "You go get it. I won't go down."

"Then wait for me here, I'll be out soon."

After Meng Ce finished speaking, he unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

Just as he was about to close the car door, Wen Liang called him again, "By the way, don't mention me to your parents."

Meng Ce was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Why? Sister, you have helped me so much, and I want to invite you to my house for dinner!"

The real reason was that she was afraid that Meng Jintang would become suspicious and alert after knowing her identity.

But she couldn't say that. Wen Liang looked at Meng Ce with her peach blossom eyes, her face calm and her heart steady. "Because I'm divorced... I think most parents wouldn't let their children be with an older woman who's been married twice."

Especially when Meng Ce is considered to be relatively outstanding.

Meng Ce suddenly felt as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened. The curve of his lips became wider and wider, revealing his cute little fangs like a big puppy. "I know, sister! I definitely won't mention you to them!"

After saying that, he waved to Wen Liang and went home happily.

My sister said that, does that mean she likes him too and has plans to be with him?!

Meng Ce was so happy that he felt light-headed as he walked.

But my sister is right, my mother probably won't agree with him being with her.

His mother is quite traditional and has recently been asking someone to arrange a blind date for him. She has been looking for girls who work as teachers or doctors.

However, he would not give in.

It is indeed not a good time to mention his sister to his parents now. If his mother notices anything, she might force him to go on a blind date and restrict his freedom.

It won’t be too late to bring it up once his relationship with Wen Liang is confirmed and stable.

The materials that Meng Jintang's decoration team was reported to have used as unqualified were synthetic resin emulsion interior wall paint and polyethylene pipes.

Meng Ce took some paint and a few pipes, trotted out of the community, and put them in the back seat of the car.

He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, panting, and said while fastening his seat belt, "Sister, my parents asked about you."

Wen Liang's hands on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously, "Oh?"

Meng Ce grinned, "Fortunately you reminded me in advance. I told them that you are an enthusiastic colleague of mine."

Wen Liang smiled, "I'm not lying, we're former colleagues, I guess."

Meng Ce also smiled, his eyes shining like stars, "I think so too."

Wen Liang chuckled and then drove to the testing agency.

After handing over the materials to the inspectors, Wen Liang and Meng Ce left the testing agency together.

Meng Ce was still reluctant to leave, so he pointed and said, "Sister, I remember there's a newly opened cake shop in the mall over there. Do you want to go take a look?"

Meeting Meng Ce's expectant eyes, Wen Liang nodded slightly.

The two walked side by side, slowly towards the nearby square as if taking a stroll.

People on the street were hurrying along, but the two of them were walking slowly forward, chatting casually.

Suddenly, Meng Ce touched Wen Liang's hand while swinging his arm.

Wen Liang subconsciously stepped back and continued walking forward, saying, "...I've tried several cake shops in Jinding..."

Meng Ce lowered his eyes and didn't pay any attention to what Wen Liang said.

His ears turned slightly red, he closed his eyes, encouraged himself in his heart, and suddenly held the cool, soft and slender little hand.

His hand was one size larger than Wen Liang's and he wrapped it tightly around hers.

When he felt the skin touching, Wenliang froze and subconsciously tried to break free.

But she held back.

Wen Liang pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said nothing.

At this moment, she just felt embarrassed and on pins and needles.

Fu Zheng's face inexplicably flashed through her mind, and her heart became even heavier.

Why do you think of him again?

She is really crazy!

She was extremely upset and didn't want Meng Ce to see it, so she had to lower her head and hide her emotions.

Meng Ce smiled and said, "Sister, your hands are a little cold. Wear more clothes when you go out next time, so you don't catch a cold."

Wen Liang said, "Maybe it's a physical problem. My hands are always cold in winter."

"Then every winter I will come to warm your hands." Meng Ce's voice was filled with infinite tenderness.

Wenliang remained silent.

She really didn't know what to say.

Meng Ce just thought she was embarrassed.

It doesn't matter, everything is moving in the right direction.

The two arrived at the cake shop.

Looking at the various small cakes in the cupboard, Meng Ce looked at Wen Liang's bright eyes and asked, "Sister, which one do you like? Black Forest?"

Wen Liang's face darkened, "No, I don't like chocolate."

Whenever she sees Black Forest cake, she thinks of the bad memories from the past.

And there is Fu Zheng, the one who, even though he disappeared in front of her, still lingered in her mind.

"Then buy something else."

Finally, Wen Liang picked a piece of matcha cake, a piece of red velvet, and a piece of tiramisu.

I bought a cake and went to a milk tea shop to buy a few cups of milk tea.

When I came out of the mall, the sun had already set and it was getting dark.

Wen Liang sent Meng Ce home and went to the old house to pick up Fu Shifan.

The little girl sat on the sofa, kicked her short legs, and said dissatisfiedly, "Auntie, why did you come to pick me up just now?"

Wen Liang sat down beside her and touched her head, "Auntie has something to do."

Fu Shifan didn't say anything.

Wen Liang chatted with the old lady for a while, then left with Fu Shifan.

Fu Shifan climbed onto the back seat of the car and saw the cake and milk tea next to him. He exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, there's cake! I want some!"

Wen Liang sat down in the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt. "If you want to eat, open it yourself."

Fu Shifan unwrapped a small cake, opened a cup of milk tea, ate and drank, and asked vaguely, "It's so delicious! It's so delicious!"

Wen Liang saw Fu Shifan's bulging cheeks in the rearview mirror, smiled, and started the car.

Suddenly, Fu Shifan's eyes rolled around and she said, "Oh, Auntie, I know! Did you go out to play with skinny...Brother Meng?"

Wen Liang: “…”

Is it that obvious?

"You...how do you know?"

Fu Shifan pulled out two movie ticket stubs from somewhere, his eyes flashing, "I forgot to deal with the evidence!"

Wen Liang: “…”
