"Knock, knock, knock," came another knock at the door.
Lu Jia opened the door.
Rong Mo strode in.
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu's teary eyes, he frowned with a pang of heartache and walked over to her. When he saw Zhou Xiao Ran, he nodded and greeted her.
He pulled a tissue from the table, wanting to wipe Shen Zhi Qiu's tears, but Shen Zhi Qiu took the tissue and wiped her own tears, feeling a little embarrassed.
"The makeup artist will come over to touch up your makeup in a bit. After you're done, we still need to go out together to meet the guests. Okay?" Rong Mo asked Shen Zhi Qiu gently.
“Okay.” Shen Zhi Qiu nodded.
Rong Mo affectionately patted her hair, then turned to Zhou Xiaoran and said, "Miss Zhou, it's been a long time. Thank you for coming today."
"How could this be hard?" Zhou Xiaoran laughed and gently took Shen Zhiqiu's hand, saying, "I've wanted to come for a long time. If I hadn't not fully recovered, I really couldn't wait to see Zhiqiu."
I was so happy when you told me that you'd send someone to pick me up that day.
Rong Mo laughed as well, "That's good. I was afraid that Miss Zhou would get tired, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to explain it to Zhi Qiu."
After saying that, Rong Mo looked at Shen Zhi Qiu tenderly, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "Eat something and drink some water. It might not be as convenient to eat after you touch up your makeup."
"I understand, brother." Shen Zhi Qiu touched her hair a little shyly. Rong Mo had already thought of everything for her.
As if he knew Shen Zhi Qiu's little thoughts, Rong Mo lowered his head and smiled, his eyes full of doting and tenderness. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry in a while, your brother will be by your side. Your brother will handle anything for you."
All you need to do is be a happy and carefree little princess.
Zhou Xiaoran chuckled and, holding Shen Zhi Qiu's hand, teased, "I'm so relieved! Haha, you're so lucky to have a brother like that, Zhi Qiu. I'm so happy for you."
“Xiao Ran…” Shen Zhi Qiu lowered her head somewhat shyly, then suddenly looked up at Zhou Xiao Ran and said, “Xiao Ran, you’re not leaving so soon this time, are you? Can you stay a little longer? I want to spend more time with you.”
“I’m not leaving for now,” Zhou Xiaoran gently comforted him. “President Rong said that you opened a Western restaurant and business is very good. He recently wanted to open a coffee shop with a separate flower section and hoped that I could stay and help manage it. I have already agreed.”
"This is another surprise for you." Rong Mo smiled and looked at Shen Zhi Qiu's astonished expression. He continued gently, "Lu Jia and I have already chosen the location and finished the design. We're just waiting to start construction."
Shen Zhi Qiu immediately looked in Lu Jia's direction, only to see Lu Jia smiling at her with her lips pursed, "This was planned by your brother before you gave birth, but he kept it a secret from you because he wanted to give you a surprise."
He knows you love coffee and have your own unique insights into it. I even asked you before if you'd like to open your own coffee shop since you love it so much.
You said you definitely want to, but you're afraid you won't be able to manage it all, especially after having children.
Your brother asked Xiaoran, and she really likes it too. Besides, she's always dreamed of opening a flower shop. Isn't this perfect? Killing two birds with one stone, it's perfect!
As Lu Jia spoke, a bright smile remained on her face.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked at Zhou Xiao Ran, then at Rong Mo, truly moved. She pursed her lips, her eyes glistening with tears, "I really feel like the happiest person in the world."
"Then brother's efforts weren't in vain." Rong Mo's brows relaxed. Hearing how much Shen Zhi Qiu liked it, he finally felt relieved. He had been worried that his actions might have been too abrupt, but seeing Shen Zhi Qiu's reaction, he knew he had made the right bet.
He picked up a cup of hot tea from the coffee table and slowly took a sip. The fragrant aroma of the tea filled his mouth. He smiled faintly, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Knock knock knock," someone knocked on the door again.
It turned out to be the makeup artist carrying her makeup case. She poked her head in and said with a smile, "May I come in?"
Rong Mo nodded, stood up, glanced at his watch, and said to the makeup artist before leaving, "Hurry up, it's almost time."
"Okay, Mr. Rong." The makeup artist quickly came in, closed the door, and walked towards Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Well, Xiao Ran, I'll go touch up my makeup first. You wait for me here. Eat whatever you want. If you need more, ask Lu Jia to get it for you."
"Okay, okay, go ahead and go," Zhou Xiaoran urged with a smile.
Watching Shen Zhi Qiu follow the makeup artist into the inner room, Zhou Xiao Ran turned to ask Lu Jia about the babies.
"Everything is fine, they're just as chubby as in the photos I took of you last time." Lu Jia's eyes were full of tenderness when he mentioned the children, as if they really were his own. "You can hold them when you go back with Zhi Qiu tonight. They're chubby and soft, so comfortable to hold. They'll even kick their little legs and look at you."
After a while, Wei Qiao came back to pick up Shen Zhi Qiu. He learned that Shen Zhi Qiu was still putting on makeup, so he sat inside and waited for a while.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Yan Yan's ankle. It had been iced for so long, but it was still swollen high.
He walked over to Yan Yan and asked, "Miss Yan Yan, did you move around just now?"
"No, it hurts too much," Yan Yan replied, somewhat puzzled.
"This doesn't look good. Although the doctor examined you, it's best to go to the hospital for an X-ray to make sure there's no bone damage. Otherwise, you'll suffer later."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jia also came over and saw that the situation was indeed not good.
Wei Qiao walked to the door and called over a bodyguard.
"Go drive to the bottom of the steps at the main gate and wait there. I'll take Miss Yan out later, and you'll be responsible for taking her to the hospital for a check-up and X-ray."
"No need for that! I can go by myself later," Yan Yan said somewhat embarrassedly.
"How can I let you go alone? You got injured because of Zhi Qiu. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible, don't delay, in case something goes wrong."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Seeing that Lu Jia also said so, Yan Yan couldn't refuse any longer.
Lu Wei also stood up and smiled at Lu Jia, saying, "How about this, I'll go with Yan Yan, so you can both rest assured. I'll come find you again when things are settled there."
Wei Qiao picked Yan Yan up and carried her towards the front door.
As soon as she reached the bottom of the steps, Yan Yan spotted Gu Qingyan smoking a cigarette under a big tree across the street, looking forlorn.
Yan Yan whispered something to Wei Qiao.
Wei Qiao carried Yan Yan into the car and strode toward Gu Qingyan with a cold face.
