Chapter 308 When you are tired of playing outside, remember to go home.
"Just answer it, why ask me." Meng Zhiyi felt a little awkward.
I had clearly made preparations last time not to have any contact with the people and things here anymore.
Who would have thought that people could be caught even if they ran thousands miles away.
Now that we're back, there are some things we need to face.
Shen Que chuckled and then answered the phone.
Meng Zhizhou was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then he slowly asked, "Did Zhiyi come back with you?"
"Yes, we just arrived at the airport." Shen Que did not hide it. After answering, he glanced at the girl who was looking down at her toes and continued, "I have coaxed her. Don't worry, big brother. She is fine."
Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi looked up at him in confusion.
I muttered in my heart:
[Hmm? What do you mean by coaxing me into submission? ]
【What is he talking about? 】
Shen Que pressed his eyes and continued, "I won't make her angry again. I was wrong this time."
"..." Meng Zhiyi frowned and looked at Shen Que with even more doubt.
Meng Zhizhou on the other end of the phone was silent. How could he not know that Shen Que was taking everything on himself?
From Meng Zhiyi's sudden disappearance to Shen Que's message saying that there was a conflict between them, Meng Zhiyi left without saying goodbye in anger.
But if you think about it carefully, how could that be possible?
However, Meng Zhizhou didn't bother to worry about those things, as long as the people came back safely.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Glad you're back. Can you give her the phone number? I want to talk to her."
Shen Que tilted his head and asked softly, "Yiyi, big brother wants to talk to you."
Meng Zhiyi hesitated for a few seconds, but finally took the phone and put it to her ear.
But she didn't say anything, she just listened quietly.
Meng Zhizhou sighed and said helplessly, "When you are tired of playing outside, remember to go home."
"I understand." Meng Zhiyi replied softly.
"Do you have any money left? Your phone card should be repaid soon. I transferred 20 million to you. If you don't have enough, just tell me. Although Shen Que is not short of money, your eldest brother also has money. Don't always think about spending his money."
Meng Zhiyi pursed her lips and spoke even more quietly: "I don't always spend his money..."
Meng Zhizhou still doesn't understand his sister's money-obsessed nature. She doesn't spend, but she wants.
Just like little hamsters, they all moved into their own nests and stayed there.
But he didn't expose her, and said gently: "Dad and Mom have always missed you, and so have your brothers."
Meng Zhizhou's voice was like the warm sunshine in winter, shining warmly on her body and making her relax unconsciously.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Que asked her again where she wanted to go.
Meng Zhiyi blinked. Although she had already talked to Meng Zhizhou on the phone, she was not prepared after all.
"I want to go back with you." She grabbed Shen Que's hand and looked at him eagerly.
"Okay, let's go home."
Shen Que took her back to the apartment. Although he hadn't lived there for several months, the house was still spotless and it was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly.
What's more, what surprised Meng Zhi was that Shen Que changed all the bedding to the patterns she liked.
"You..." Meng Zhi looked at Shen Que in surprise.
Before she could finish her words, Shen Que kissed her and brought her down to the big bed.
The soft quilt wrapped her up, and her nose was filled with familiar scents. Shen Que's kiss changed from a light taste at the beginning to an intense demand.
He took away all my breath, and the last moment of consciousness I had, all I remembered was the stunning sunset outside the window.
In a blink of an eye, it was late at night. Shen Que carried her, who was sweating all over, into the bathroom. The bathtub was already filled with bath water of suitable temperature.
He held Meng Zhiyi, who was so tired that she could hardly see, in his arms and washed her body gently.
Amid the sound of the gurgling water, Shen Que let her lie on him and whispered, "I just saw a message pop up on my phone. Grandma asked us to go back to the old house for dinner tomorrow."
Meng Zhiyi raised her eyelids with great effort, but finally gave up and kept them closed, saying weakly, "Okay."
Seeing her being repeatedly squeezed dry, Shen Que couldn't help but chuckle, then he stood up and carried her back to the bedroom.
Meng Zhiyi slept until noon. She had originally agreed to go back to Shen's house for lunch, but because she was still sleepy, Shen Que called Old Madam Shen and changed the date to dinner.
When the two returned to Shen's house, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Zhiyi, come to grandma." When Mrs. Shen saw her, the smile on her face never disappeared.
Meng Zhiyi ran to sit beside her, then took her hand in a very dependent manner: "Grandma, long time no see."
Old Madam Shen poked her forehead unhappily and said with a sneer on her face, "You are so brave, girl."
Meng Zhiyi naturally knew what Old Madam Shen meant. She pursed her lips embarrassedly and buried her face in her body.
Old Madam Shen didn't want to continue talking to her, so she just patted her head and sent Shen Que away: "Que, grandma wants to eat the hazelnut cake from that time-honored shop, go buy some for grandma."
"Then I'll go with you." Meng Zhiyi said as he was about to get up, but was stopped by Old Madam Shen.
"Just let him go by himself. You stay and spend more time with grandma."
Shen Que understood what his grandmother meant by sending him away, so he obediently went alone.
As soon as he left, Madam Shen took Meng Zhiyi to the backyard, and the housekeeper followed them quietly.
"Grandma, where is this?" Meng Zhiyi watched them arrive at a house that looked like an ancestral hall, and looked curiously at Old Madam Shen beside her.
"You'll know when you go in." Old Madam Shen smiled, then motioned Meng Zhiyi to push the door.
She was a little skeptical, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she reached out and pushed open the heavy wooden door.
When the door was opened, it was not an ancestral hall, but a house full of portraits.
When Meng Zhiyi saw those portraits, he was stunned.
This is because the person in the portrait is how she looked when she was on a mission in a certain time and space.
Meng Zhiyi was a little surprised. He involuntarily stepped over the threshold and walked in, looking around at the portraits with some excitement.
"These... Grandma, how could you... "
She didn't know how to ask for a moment.
Old Madam Shen smiled and led her to one of the portraits. The painting showed a little girl of five or six years old wearing ancient costume and pigtails.
"Grandma knows that you went to Talia this time for a man named Lian Mubai. Do you still remember this painting?"
Meng Zhiyi didn't have time to digest the first half of Mrs. Shen's words. She stared at the portrait intently, as if something was about to burst out of her heart.
She looked at Old Madam Shen in a daze, opened her mouth, but found that she could not speak.
Old Madam Shen smiled lovingly, rubbed her hair with her hand, and then said slowly: "My dear, it's time to go home."
Meng Zhiyi's lips trembled a little as she said, "You are... you are grandma..."
