As soon as Gu Suian and Mu Ziqi closed the door, they turned around and saw Lu Jia and Rong Mo walking on either side of Shen Zhi Qiu in the corridor. Rong Mo was considerately holding Shen Zhi Qiu's arm, while Lu Jia stood there to avoid suspicion, but his eyes never left Shen Zhi Qiu.
They both sighed at the same time, but said nothing.
Watching them walk away, Mu Ziqi's face showed a sad expression. "Perhaps after Zhi Qiu and Qing Yan divorce, she will soon marry this Mr. Lu. However, I am still a little worried. Will Mr. Lu really not mind Zhi Qiu's two children?"
“Probably not.” Gu Suian watched Lu Jia carefully protecting Shen Zhi Qiu, and sighed again. “Although we are not familiar with him, Rong Mo should have a good eye for people. The fact that he allows Mr. Lu to accompany Zhi Qiu shows that he is a good person. Moreover, from our limited interactions, Mr. Lu seems to be a magnanimous person. Besides, love extends to everything connected to the person. I believe he will treat Zhi Qiu and her child well.”
"It's all because our Qingyan doesn't know how to cherish things and doesn't deserve this blessing!" Mu Ziqi wiped away her tears with some annoyance.
On the bus.
Looking at the sunset outside the window, Shen Zhi Qiu felt uneasy, her brows furrowed and her fingers twisting incessantly.
"What's wrong?" Rong Mo noticed that something was wrong with her and asked softly.
"I'm a little worried about my mom and grandma." Shen Zhi Qiu's eyes were red, but she stubbornly turned her head to look out the window, afraid that Rong Mo would notice that she wanted to cry.
“Auntie was a bit frightened. The doctor wants to avoid further upsetting her, so we need to wait until she calms down before we can visit her. Once Auntie has recovered, I will arrange for Wei Qiao to bring her and Grandma over. Is that alright?” Rong Mo gently placed his hand on Shen Zhi Qiu’s arm, softly comforting her.
Wei Qiao, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror with some concern, while Rong Mo shook his head at him without saying a word.
Half an hour later.
The car came to a smooth stop in front of a villa in the suburbs.
After getting out of the car, Lu Jia went around to the other side, opened the car door for Shen Zhi Qiu, and then reached out to her, gesturing for her to help her out of the car.
"Hmm? It smells so good."
As soon as she opened the car door, Shen Zhi Qiu smelled a rich fragrance of gardenias. She took a deep breath and felt her mood improve.
"Welcome home, young lady!"
As soon as they got out of the car, a group of people in uniforms quickly walked out of the villa. They lined up in a row, and the man at the head nodded. Everyone shouted in unison.
Shen Zhi Qiu was taken aback for a moment. Rong Mo gently tugged at the corner of his mouth and whispered in her ear with a smile, "You really are the eldest daughter of the Rong family. All of this was arranged by Dad in advance."
Before Shen Zhi Qiu could even adjust, Rong Hong walked out of the villa with a beaming smile and strode straight toward Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Zhiqiu, you're finally back! Dad couldn't wait any longer!" Upon seeing Shen Zhiqiu, Rong Hong couldn't help but grab her hand and lead her into the villa.
Shen Zhi Qiu was a little embarrassed, and because she had just met her relatives, she was not yet used to Rong Hong holding her hand. She looked at Rong Mo and pursed her lips uncomfortably.
"Dad, don't scare her," Rong Mo said, trying to help her out of the predicament.
Then, he stepped forward and subtly took Shen Zhi Qiu's hand from Rong Hong, leading her inside.
"Mr. Lu, please come in with us." Rong Hong was so happy he was practically dancing with joy. He turned around and saw Lu Jia still standing there, so he quickly invited Lu Jia to come in with him.
Rong Mo led her away very slowly.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked around and saw that tall fences stood on both sides of the villa, with elegant pink roses winding around them. The flowers swayed slightly in the wind, like a pink wall.
The entrance to the villa is decorated with gardenias of varying heights, and if you look closely, you can see traces of the soil being turned over recently.
"Dad thought that girls all like pink, so he planted a pink flower wall for you. But I heard that you like the fragrance of gardenias, so a couple of days ago he ordered people to plant gardenias all over the front of the villa." Rong Mo had a faint smile on his face as he spoke of his father's love for Shen Zhi Qiu with a doting tone.
Shen Zhi Qiu felt a slight pang of sadness.
"Zhiqiu, don't think about the past anymore after you get home. Your brother is here, so don't be afraid of anything." Rong Mo led her into the living room.
As soon as Shen Zhi Qiu entered, he was deeply attracted by the various artworks and paintings by world-renowned artists hanging on the walls, each one giving people a feeling of wealth and extravagance.
“These are all things Dad likes. I reckon he brought you all the valuable items he’s collected from around the world over the years,” Rong Mo whispered to her.
"Let's go take a look at your bedroom first, and if there's anything we don't like, we'll change it tomorrow."
Rong Mo led her carefully up to the second floor.
Reaching the doorway, Rong Mo turned the doorknob and slowly pushed the door open.
The bedroom balcony door was open, and soft, ethereal gauze curtains hung beneath the light purple drapes. A gentle evening breeze blew, the moonlight was hazy, and the interplay of light and shadow with the sheer fabric created a serene and beautiful scene.
With a "snap," Rong Mo turned on the light.
For a moment, Rong Mo almost lost control of his expression.
A huge pinkish-purple crystal chandelier hung in the center of the room, and it was absolutely dazzling the moment the light was turned on.
Or rather, it was blindingly bright.
The chandelier is extremely ornate and elegant. The unique floral-shaped crystals resemble clusters of flowers blooming under the light, with perfectly rounded details. However, the pink and purple light refracted by the crystal facets is so dazzling that it is hard to look directly at them. Below the chandelier is a European-style princess bed made entirely of solid wood with intricate carvings. The four corners of the bed are also "thoughtfully" inlaid with various jewels.
