"I'm fine."
Hua Chang turned and asked, "Where's Zi Ning?"
"I just found her in the back garden. She's in the study with Grandpa now." Shen Changmin answered truthfully, "Grandpa likes her very much. I wanted to ask if you would like to stay tonight."
Hua Chang stared at Shen Changmin's face, and seeing that he looked natural and sincere, her doubts were alleviated a little.
It seems she was worrying too much.
This incident was indeed just a coincidence.
"Take me to find Zining first." Hua Shang did not directly answer Shen Changmin's words.
"Okay, follow me." Shen Changmin said, and led the way.
Hua Chang turned around and said goodbye to Qi Mu, then followed Shen Changmin.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Qi Mu's eyes became more and more profound.
He took out his cell phone and called Xie Ze: "Where are you?"
"You ask me? Didn't you ask me to wait for you in the parking lot?" Xie Ze asked back in confusion.
Hearing this, Qi Mu's eyes darkened.
It’s no coincidence after all.
Why did the Shen family do this?
"I'll be there now."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and headed to the parking lot.
A moment later, Shen Changmin brought Hua Shang into the study.
Seeing Bo Zining being held in Mr. Shen's arms, the grandfather and grandson were watching cartoons on the computer screen.
Hua Chang's worries disappeared.
Seeing that Bo Zining was safe and sound, Hua Chang did not blame her, but said: "Zining, mom is here to take you home."
"Shang Shang, it's getting late. Why don't you stay at the Shen family tonight? We've been waiting for you to come back, and the room has been cleaned up long ago."
Old Master Shen and Bo Zining had a conversation. As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Zining said, "Mom, I like Grandpa Zeng. I want to chat with him!"
Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Hua Chang understood.
Hua Shang felt guilty when she thought about how cautious Zi Ning was when facing Old Madam Bo.
Zi Ning gets along so well with Mr. Shen, maybe she can forget her previous bad experience in the Bo family.
"Just this once." Hua Chang relaxed.
Bo Zining raised her little face and looked at Old Man Shen, both of them had joy in their eyes.
On the other side, the parking lot.
Qi Mu sat in the passenger seat with a stiff expression.
"What happened? Why do you look so bad?" Xie Ze reached out and patted Qi Mu's shoulder.
Noticing Qi Mu's muscles tensing, Xie Ze's expression changed as well: "Amu, you're not..."
"Yeah." Qi Mu responded with a deep look in his eyes: "Hua Shang also saw it. She comforted me."
"Miss Hua? To appease you?" Xie Ze raised his voice several decibels and started gossiping: "How did I appease you? What did you two do? Where were you?"
I didn’t expect Qi Mu to have this kind of experience so soon.
Faster than him.
Although he is a playboy who loves to play with emotions, he is just playing with emotions. In fact, he is still a fledgling with only theoretical knowledge.
"She hugged me."
When Qi Mu recalled it, he could still smell the fresh and warm citrus scent.
The feeling of being hugged by Hua Chang at that time was also wonderful, and his uneasiness disappeared instantly.
He couldn't help but recall the feeling of the girl protecting him and holding him in her arms when the car accident happened.
"Oh, it's just a hug..." Xie Ze disagreed, with a look of regret on his face.
After a pause, he patted Qi Mu's shoulder as if to comfort him: "That's enough. At least you have taken the first step and can accept a hug from the opposite sex. How about it? When Miss Hua hugged you, did you feel that way?"
"No." Qi Mu replied.
In the past, whenever someone of the opposite sex approached him, he would always feel disgusted and resistant.
But this time when I came into contact with Hua Shang, it didn't happen.
"That Miss Hua is truly an extraordinary woman." Xie Ze sighed as he started the car, "It's a pity that such a beautiful woman has already been taken."
Qi Mu knew that the "beautiful flower has a master" that Xie Ze mentioned was referring to Shen Changmin.
His eyes darkened a little more, and he responded: "I suspect that it was Shen Changmin who deliberately locked me up with Hua Shang."
"Huh?" Xie Ze suspected he had misheard: "How is that possible? Isn't Hua Shang his mistress? I didn't realize Shen Changmin had that kind of fetish."
Hearing this, Qi Mu's doubts dissipated a little.
What Xie Ze said made sense. Shen Changmin was indeed not someone who would resort to despicable means.
"It seems I was overthinking it."
"I think it's a psychological reaction to your claustrophobia." Xie Ze guessed and asked with concern: "Amu, do you need me to take you to the hospital?"
He was a little worried about Qi Mu's mental state.
In the past, whenever Qi Mu suffered from claustrophobia, he would always be by his side, waiting for Qi Mu to adjust.
I still remember the first time I saw Qi Mu suffering from claustrophobia. It was horrifying.
"No, I'm fine."
Hearing this, Xie Ze couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Why, Miss Hua's hug is so effective that you don't even need a psychologist to adjust it for you?"
Qi Mu didn't answer, but Xie Ze knew that he had tacitly agreed.
Not only was he more interested in Hua Chang's appearance.
"Amu, do you believe in the theory of fate?"
Qi Mu: “?”
…
Bo family.
As soon as Bo Yunyan returned to the villa, he saw Old Madam Bo and Su Mengli taking Bo Zishen out to play, and the atmosphere was very happy.
His tense face relaxed a little and he walked up to the few people.
Seeing Bo Yunyan coming back, Su Mengli took Bo Yunyan's arm and said, "Zishen, your father is back. Don't you have something to say?"
Bo Zishen nodded his head and walked in front of Bo Yunyan somewhat embarrassedly.
Just as Bo Yunyan was about to ask Bo Zishen about his intentions, he saw Bo Zishen bow deeply to him: "Dad, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied, and I shouldn't have claimed the fruits of others' labor."
"I already know that what I did was wrong, and I will never do it again."
Seeing Bo Zishen's attitude change 180 degrees, Bo Yunyan was stunned.
He looked at Su Mengli and saw Su Mengli raised her chin, and he understood.
It seems that Su Mengli taught Bo Zishen well.
Thinking about how he had mistakenly thought that Su Mengli had led Zishen astray, Bo Yunyan felt a little guilty.
"You're a good kid if you can admit your mistakes and correct them. I'll forgive you this time. If there's a next time..."
Bo Yunyan narrowed her eyes dangerously and was about to finish her words when she was interrupted by Madam Bo: "Alright! Why are you scaring Zishen? I believe Zishen won't make the same mistake again."
"I heard from Mengli that you went to the Shen family today?" Old Madam Bo changed the subject.
Bo Yunyan wanted Bo Zishen to avoid this matter, so he looked at Su Mengli and said, "It's getting late. Take Zishen upstairs and coax him to sleep."
Hearing this, Su Mengli's smile cracked, but she still agreed: "Okay."
Watching the two of them go upstairs, Bo Yunyan recalled what Hua Shang said today.
He suddenly felt that if it was Su Mengli, it would not be impossible.
The feeling that I had to have Su Mengli before...seems to have disappeared.
