"Um."
Qi Mu responded calmly, and then added: "Besides this, is there anything else you need?"
It was just a question, but it took on a different meaning when it fell into Song Qi's ears.
Has Qi Mu actually started to care about her?
The more Song Qi thought about it, the faster her heart beat.
She pursed her lips and suppressed the expectation in her heart: "Qi Mu, you have given me a lot."
"I don't ask for much. As long as I can stay by your side, I will be satisfied."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mu's expression changed slightly.
He had no intention of maintaining the status quo with Song Qi.
"Song Qi, I already have a fiancée."
Qi Mu recalled what Old Man Qi said in his heart, and his tone became a little more distant: "When you settle down in the capital, we should keep our distance."
The implication was to tell Song Qi that if there was nothing important in the future, she should not contact him.
The joy in Song Qi's eyes suddenly disappeared, and she felt puzzled.
Everything was fine last night, why is Qi Mu starting to draw a line between them and her now?
Could it be that someone said something to Qi Mu?
As soon as the thought came to Song Qi's mind, the face of Mr. Qi flashed through his mind.
And what the housekeeper warned her.
"Benefactor, did I do something wrong?" Song Qi's tone was mixed with grievance: "Are you trying to drive me away?"
Hearing the word "benefactor", Qi Mu couldn't help but frown.
In fact, Song Qi was his benefactor.
He has been looking for her for so many years.
Now Song Qi appeared, but he felt that Song Qi was not the person he was looking for.
"I am a married man. It's not appropriate for us to have too much contact." Qi Mu responded tactfully.
When Song Qi heard this, she misunderstood again: "You mean, if you don't have an engagement, we can..."
"Even without an engagement, the relationship between you and me will only be an ordinary one." Qi Mu's words broke Song Qi's expectations.
…
Shen family.
Mr. Qi was brought to the door of the study by the housekeeper.
"Mr. Qi, the master is in the study, you can just go in."
After saying that, the housekeeper opened the door and made a "please" gesture.
Old Master Qi nodded his chin and walked into the study.
I saw Mr. Shen sitting behind his desk processing documents, without even looking up: "What's the matter?"
"Hey, you old man are still talking to me?" Mr. Qi said unhappily.
Hearing the voice of his old friend, the seriousness and solemnity on Mr. Shen's face disappeared without a trace.
He raised his head and met Mr. Qi's gaze.
"Old Qi? Why are you here?" Old Master Shen was startled at first, then his face turned cold: "Humph! I was thinking of going to settle the score with that kid Qi Mu!"
After hearing this, Mr. Qi understood.
"What a coincidence! I came here today just to talk to you about this."
As he spoke, Mr. Qi walked closer to the desk and said, "Your precious daughter...there shouldn't be any misunderstanding, right?"
"Shang Shang has just been discharged from the hospital, she probably doesn't know yet."
Talking about Hua Chang's matter, Mr. Shen became serious: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Hua Chang didn't know that her engagement was so important to the two of them.
She was driving Bo Zining to school.
"Mom, today is the sports day." Bo Zining tilted her head, her eyes flickering as she looked at Hua Chang: "Will handsome uncle really come to join us?"
Hearing this, Hua Chang's eyes flickered slightly.
These days, rumors about Qi Mu and that woman outside the Beijing circle have been circulating, and he's probably with that woman now.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, Hua Chang couldn't help feeling helpless.
Her love fortune seems to be exactly the same. Any man who marries her will have a "white moonlight" outside.
And she was like the third party who destroyed their relationship.
Hua Chang didn't want to disturb Qi Mu, but she really couldn't resist Bo Zining's expectant eyes.
"Does Zining really want him to come and participate?" Hua Chang asked.
Bo Zining nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Mom, I hope you can join the handsome uncle."
That way, she could let the other kids in the class know.
She, Bo Zining, also has a father!
Moreover, her parents are both very handsome and a perfect match!
Hua Chang couldn't bear to spoil the fun and let Bo Zining's expectations go unfulfilled, so she took out her cell phone and called Qi Mu.
After a few busy tones, the call was picked up.
Before Hua Chang could speak, a female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello? What's up?"
Hua Chang paused with her knuckles holding the phone.
It seems that her guess was right, Qi Mu was indeed with that woman.
If that's the case, why should this engagement go ahead?
Hua Chang no longer had the thought of inviting Qi Mu to the sports meet: "Nothing."
After finishing speaking, Hua Chang hung up the phone.
She turned her head and looked at Bo Zining apologetically: "Zining, Uncle Qi is busy with other things today and can't accompany Zining to the sports meeting."
"It's okay." Bo Zining gave Hua Chang a bright smile: "Zining is glad to have her mother with her!"
Hearing this, Hua Chang still felt a little guilty.
Little did she know that Bo Zining had sharp ears and heard a female voice coming from the receiver of the mobile phone.
She lowered her head, her eyes filled with disappointment.
So... is the pretty uncle with another woman?
He had clearly promised to attend his mother's sports meeting with her, but he was dating another woman on that day!
For some reason, Bo Zining couldn't help but recall the time when she was at the Bo family.
Bo Yunyan always ignores her and her mother because of Su Mengli.
"Mom, I don't want the handsome uncle to come." Bo Zining suddenly spoke in a muffled voice.
Hua Chang was a little confused for a moment.
"Zining, what's wrong?"
Weren’t you just feeling upset because Qi Mu couldn’t come to attend?
Why now...
"Nothing." Bo Zining calmed down and smiled again: "I just feel that it's good for my mother to have me."
All men are the same.
She is the only one who is loyal to her mother, and she is the most qualified knight by her mother's side.
While thinking, Bo Zining operated the smart watch and deleted Qi Mu's contact information.
On the other side, inside the shop.
Seeing Qi Mu walking towards the door after negotiating the transfer details, Song Qi quickly put Qi Mu's phone back to its place.
"How is it?" Song Qi came forward happily: "Is this shop mine from now on?"
"Yeah." Qi Mu responded lightly.
His eyes fell on the mobile phone on the table, but he found that the phone had moved at some point.
Something is wrong.
Suddenly, Qi Mu's gaze towards Song Qi became subtle: "Did you touch my phone?"
"No." Song Qi denied it flatly.
I couldn't help but wonder how strong Qi Mu's detective skills were.
She was clearly not at the scene, but she still restored the location of her phone.
Qi Mu could actually see it!
Seeing that Song Qi denied it, Qi Mu did not ask any further questions.
"I'll send someone to take you back."
