After Zhai Yumo and Fu Xiao walked out of the study, they found a stool in the yard and sat down.
"Please sit down first. I'll prepare something for you to eat."
Fu Xiao waved his hand: "Don't bother, just sit for a while, my dad should be out soon."
There was a smile in his eyes, "Okay,"
Fu Xiao held her chin with both hands, looking dazed, as if she was in a daze, but in fact she was eavesdropping.
Zhai Yumo's gaze remained on her, and his eyes seemed to be immersed in a gentle glow and deep affection.
When she heard what Zhai Zhengrong said about Fu Weilun, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
Fu Xiao withdrew his mental power and felt the gaze of the person opposite him. He raised his eyes to look at him and was caught off guard by his gaze.
There seemed to be deep emotions hidden in his eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
Being stared at by her clear eyes, Zhai Yumo slowly lowered his eyes and responded softly: "It's okay, I was distracted."
When he raised his eyes again, there was only a smile and a dark light in his eyes. He asked, "It seems that Chen Xingzhou is also in the port city."
Fu Xiao froze slightly when he heard this, but soon returned to normal and nodded calmly, "Yes."
"What did you ask him for?"
Zhai Yumo smiled embarrassedly, "My sister has always wanted to know why he didn't go to work. I don't know if you still remember my third uncle's cousin."
Fu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I remember, I've seen it before."
His eyes flashed, and he smiled: “She is also in Jinshi now, and her workplace is not far from Shen Xingzhou’s base.”
She glanced at him and smiled: "That's good, we can take care of each other."
Zhai Yumo smiled slowly, "Yes, last time Mu Ning asked Xingzhou to help her rent a house."
He sighed, "I don't know why this girl had to go there. Uncle San had already found a job for her in Jing City, but she ran off to Jin City without saying a word."
Fu Xiao lowered his eyelashes, pulled the corner of his lip, and said slowly: "I guess there must be some reason why you have to go."
Zhai Yumo continued, "Mu Ning has always liked to stick to Xing Zhou since she was a child. Sometimes she treats him better than me."
Although it was not stated directly, the meaning between the words was particularly clear: Zhai Mu Ning had special feelings for Shen Xingzhou.
Fu Xiao supported his chin, smiled faintly and said nothing.
She could see what Zhai Mu Ning was thinking when she first met her, but why did the man in front of her mention this in front of her?
Is it really just casual chatting?
Or did he know what Shen Xingzhou felt for her and come to help his sister warn her?
Zhai Yumo had been paying attention to her expression and noticed that her eyes had faded a little, but there was a ripple in her eyes and her eyes were full of mystery.
Why was she unhappy? Did he miss something during this trip to Hong Kong?
Did something happen between her and Shen Xingzhou?
He wanted to test it again, but he heard the voices of Mu Lianshen and Zhai Zhengrong behind him.
He lowered his eyes and suppressed all emotions.
Fu Xiao turned around and saw Mu Lianshen had come out. He smiled at her and then looked at Zhai Zhengrong. "Brother, please don't come out. An An and I will go back first and take a look around somewhere else."
Zhai Zhengrong smiled and nodded, "Okay, then go ahead, and remember to visit Uncle Qi."
He bowed his head slightly and patted Fu Xiao's head. "Xiao Xiao, come and chat with uncle some other day."
Fu Xiao nodded obediently, "Okay, uncle,"
Zhai Zhengrong looked at Zhai Yumo who was silent beside him and said, "Xiaomo, send your uncle Mu and Xiaoxiao off."
Zhai Yumo nodded, and a perfect smile returned to his face.
After walking out of Zhai Zhengrong's yard, Fu Xiao tilted his head and looked at Mu Lianshen, "Aren't you waiting for Grandpa?"
Mu Lianshen stretched out his right hand and held her lightly as they walked out. "Your grandfather will play a game of chess with your grandfather Zhai for at least an hour. You don't have to wait for him. I'll take you somewhere else."
He turned around and glanced at Zhai Yumo, "No need to see me off."
Zhai Yumo stared at her back quietly, the light between his brows seemed to gather the gentle moonlight, tenderness was hidden, but a hint of darkness could be seen in his eyes.
Like... worried.
Or afraid of something.
Mu Lianshen took Fu Xiao to the gate of Zhai's house. After they passed the gate but did not leave the courtyard, they went to another familiar family and greeted the elders in the family before leaving the courtyard.
After driving the car out, Mu Lianshen said, "I'll take you to visit Dad's teacher."
Fu Xiao smiled, "Is it that Mr. Qi?"
"More than that," he said with a gentle smile, "Dad has several teachers. I'll take you to see them all so you can meet them."
"But I won't be able to catch up at noon. After leaving Mr. Qi's place, I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables. After lunch, I'll go out again in the afternoon."
When the two men arrived at the gate of Mr. Qi's courtyard, they saw a military vehicle parked in front of the gate.
There was also Wu Yaofeng, who was squatting at the door and drawing circles on the ground.
He raised his head when he heard the voice, "Uncle Mu, Xiaoxiao,"
He jumped up from the ground at once. Mu Lianshen glanced at the tightly closed door, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wu Yaofeng chuckled and said, "I was kicked out by Grandpa Qi."
"Who's in there?" Mu Lianshen asked as he listened to the voice inside.
He curled his lips, "Lu Yuan, and my father,"
Mu Lianshen understood and roughly realized what was going on. It must be that Wu Yaofeng's skills were not good enough for Mr. Qi, so he looked down on him.
He pushed the door open and walked in. The people guarding inside saw that it was him, but did not stop him and just stood aside quietly.
Wu Yaofeng stood stealthily behind Fu Xiao and slowly moved inside.
Fu Xiao was helpless: "Brother Wu, why are you so serious?"
He muttered quietly, "Xiaoxiao, you don't know, that old man's beating hurts a lot, I'll hide behind you."
After walking through the front yard and coming to the main hall, Mu Lianshen saw an old man and greeted him, "Uncle Wang,"
When Uncle Wang, Qi Lao's bodyguard, saw Mu Lianshen, his face immediately filled with smiles. "Lian Shen is here,"
"Hey, is this your daughter?"
Uncle Wang's gaze fell on Fu Xiao, and the smile on his face deepened.
"Yes," Mu Lianshen waved towards Fu Xiao, "An An, come here, this is Grandpa Wang,"
She walked forward and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Grandpa Wang,"
Uncle Wang's face was full of wrinkles from laughing. "Okay...Okay,"
"Where's the teacher?"
Uncle Wang pointed to the backyard and said, "In the backyard, Chengfeng is here. Old Qi can't sit still when he sees him. He's making a mess. You go ahead."
"I'll go and have a look,"
Mu Lianshen took Fu Xiao to the backyard, and Wu Yaofeng followed them. "Slow down, wait for me."
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, he saw Old Qi fighting with Wu Chengfeng. Wu Chengfeng had been holding back when he attacked. After all, Old Qi was old, so he just made a few moves, just to tease him.
But Mr. Qi refused to give in and his face changed. When Mu Lianshen came, he was just about to start scolding.
When he saw him, he no longer cared about Wu Chengfeng and attacked him directly.
"Don't be unwilling to accept your age when you are this old,"
Mu Lianshen said calmly, and then dodged his attack skillfully.
