"No need, I'll find someone to take care of it myself." Xiang Zhilan didn't want him to invade and control her life so quickly.

"If you don't give it to me, I have ways to get someone in and take it, you know that," Shen Muzhi threatened blatantly.

"You!" Xiang Zhilan was annoyed, but she knew he was telling the truth. She pouted and threw the key at him before turning and leaving.

Shen Muzhi grabbed her hand again and pulled her back into his arms.

"Mr. Shen, what else do you want to do!" Xiang Zhilan raised her head, her demeanor equally imposing.

"It's nothing," Shen Muzhi said, looking at her puffed-up face, which was bright and cute. He couldn't help but hug her and kiss her.

This was the entrance to the residential area, a place bustling with people. Xiang Zhilan was shocked and pushed him away.

Shen Muzhi held her down, preventing her from moving. In reality, it was just a light, fleeting kiss, without any further or excessive actions.

He moved his lips close to her ear and whispered, "Come to me next time you need something. That stick is cold and boring. I'm always available."

Xiang Zhilan blushed. In broad daylight, in front of everyone, he really had no shame. Who would want him to keep up with him!

"Get some rest, see you tomorrow." Shen Muzhi kissed her cheek again before letting go of her.

"Who's going to see him tomorrow?" Xiang Zhilan turned her head and ran into the residential area. She had only run a few steps when her legs felt weak.

It's all that bastard's fault. Now her back aches and her legs feel weak.

After she entered the house, both her parents looked at her with very strange expressions.

"Mommy's so embarrassing." Hengheng tilted his head back and covered his mouth while laughing.

Xiang Zhilan was stunned. Xiao Kui ran over and hugged her, "I want a kiss too."

She suddenly realized that they had all seen Shen Muzhi kissing her from the balcony!

"Old Xiang, take the children inside for a nap," Xiang's mother instructed Xiang's father.

Once she and her mother were alone in the living room, her mother adopted a serious expression, as if she were about to interrogate her.

"You still say you haven't made up with Shen Muzhi, but you can't deny it now," Aunt Xiang frowned, her eyes sweeping over her clothes, and said, "Isn't this what you wore yesterday? Did you spend the night with him?"

Xiang Zhilan quickly shook her head in denial. Her mother's eyes were truly sharp; she could even see such a detail.

Knowing she couldn't escape it, she had to admit a small part of it: "For Hengheng and Xiaokui's sake, I am considering giving him a chance, but I am not ready to truly accept him back."

"For Hengheng and Xiaokui, what about yourself? Do you still like him?" Xiang's mother knew her daughter well; her feelings for Shen Muzhi were probably only one-tenth of what Shen Muzhi felt for her.

“I don’t know either, he…is trying very hard to make up for it.”

"In short, don't force yourself for the sake of the child. Ultimately, what matters most is whether you like it or not. Husband and wife are people who will live together for a lifetime. You can't be wronged or forced in the slightest." Xiang's mother touched Xiang Zhilan's hair.

Xiang Zhilan laughed, hugged her mother's arm, and said in a casual tone, "Mom, that's not what you said when you set me up on a blind date."

Xiang's mother smiled and tapped Xiang Zhilan's nose, "You little rascal."

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, then Xiang Zhilan got up and went into the bedroom to keep the children company in place of her father.

After coaxing them to sleep, she took out her phone, opened WeChat, and saw a message from Fang Yi saying that Chen Yuanyuan's silicone padding had warped last night, and her buttocks were uneven when she left.

Xiang Zhilan imagined it for a moment and laughed. She was very pleased with Shen Muzhi's childish act.
