Mu Xiaocheng looked up and stared in surprise at the umbrella above her head.
It was a bright orange umbrella with a cute pattern on it.
And the person holding the umbrella...
Ji Huaishen was standing behind her, his tall figure shielding her, giving her a strange sense of security.
His handsome face remained expressionless, and his well-defined fingers gripped the umbrella handle.
He was looking down at her.
His dark eyes shone with light, like ripples, gentle and affectionate.
How could he be here?
She thought he wouldn't come looking for her when she was at the hospital...
"stand up."
His voice was a little hoarse, seemingly filled with suppressed emotion, which brought Mu Xiaocheng back to her senses.
Mu Xiaocheng pouted, looking fierce and aloof.
She looked down at the ground and said defiantly, "My legs are numb, I can't get up."
She deliberately contradicted him.
Upon hearing her say this, a moment later, a helpless sigh rang out from above.
Ji Huaishen squatted down, his tall frame bent down, and he stretched out a hand to her: "I can't hug you while holding the umbrella."
Mu Xiaocheng: "..."
Shameless! Who would want him to hug them?
She looked away from him, struggling to get up on her own.
My legs were really numb from squatting, so I managed to stand up, but I couldn't stand steadily.
Ji Huaishen reached out and steadily pulled her into his arms.
Mu Xiaocheng's forehead bumped against his chest, gently, and she could feel her entire face starting to burn.
It was quite cold at first, but now she felt a little hot.
Especially the face.
Ji Huaishen put his arm around her waist, rested his head on her neck and shoulder, and said in a low, husky voice, "Shall we go home?"
His tone was pleading, and his whole being seemed to be shrouded in melancholy and loneliness, which made people feel sorry for him.
Mu Xiaocheng opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but she seemed to have begun to crave his warmth, just like she was now.
The scene she witnessed at the restaurant today still lingered vividly in her mind. Mu Xiaocheng frowned and stepped out of his embrace.
"I don't want to go back."
Mu Xiaocheng is stubborn; if she's unhappy, she'll stick to it to the end.
Ji Huaishen's gaze darkened, and his tone was somewhat helpless: "Then where do you want to go?"
Mu Xiaocheng turned her face away, watching the cars coming and going on the road, constantly weaving through the drizzle.
"I think……"
Why should I tell you?
Mu Xiaocheng reacted quickly, replying awkwardly.
Seeing that she seemed quite angry and looked annoyed with him, Ji Huaishen suddenly chuckled softly.
He was already extremely handsome, and his fair and handsome face looked much softer. When he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes curved, making him even more handsome and unparalleled.
A deep, pleasant laugh reached Mu Xiaocheng's ears.
She raised an eyebrow in displeasure, and he was still smiling?
Mu Xiaocheng gritted her teeth: "Is it that funny?"
His tone was very displeased.
Ji Huaishen looked at her, then pulled her back into his arms. As Mu Xiaocheng struggled, he said in a deep voice, "I have not cooperated with the Zhou family."
"I didn't eat with Zhou Xinlan either."
Mu Xiaocheng's body stiffened.
In an instant, he even forgot to struggle.
She let him hold her like that.
He...he didn't cooperate with the Zhou family?
She didn't discuss a collaboration with Zhou Xinlan? Then why did she see them at the restaurant today...?
"The partner is Guan Hongzhi. As for why Ms. Zhou came, I don't know."
He said he was completely innocent.
Like a child who has been wronged.
Mu Xiaocheng's face started to flush again.
How did he know she saw it?
How did he know she was upset about this?
After a long while, the person in his arms remained silent.
Ji Huaishen hugged the person even tighter.
"I will never break my promise to you."
He knew she had been to that private restaurant.
The thought that she might be upset because of this made me inexplicably happy.
