Chapter 36 The Rebirth of the White Moonlight (13) What kind of girl does Zhizhi like...?
Chapter Thirty-Six
Both of them fell silent, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.
Xia Zhi instinctively tried to avoid the question, pointing to the door with her finger: "I... if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Song Ling looked somewhat regretful. He subconsciously rubbed his hair and looked up a little embarrassedly: "Okay, you can go now."
Xia Zhi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and only dared to breathe a sigh of relief when she reached her room.
Surprisingly, when Song Ye returned, Song Ling did not mention anything about the scallions.
Xia Zhi was a little surprised, and Song Ye was also quite surprised. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Song Ling with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Song Ling seemed to be able to see what the two were thinking, and he looked somewhat annoyed: "Brother, why are you so late?"
Song Ye took off his suit jacket with one hand, his voice indifferent: "I had a meeting, something came up. What's wrong? How are things going with Zhizhi?"
It would have been better if he hadn't brought it up; once it was mentioned, both of them looked a little uncomfortable.
Xia Zhi coughed, preparing to leave, but then heard Song Ling speak up: "Brother, how would you like us to get along?"
Song Ye choked. He looked at Song Ling, who was looking at him intently, as if he were bringing up something very important.
Song Ye smiled: "Of course I hope you can get along well."
Song Ling twitched the corner of her mouth and suddenly asked, "If we were together, would you still hope for this?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Xia Zhi was surprised by Song Ling's words. She looked at Song Ling with a look of astonishment on her face.
Song Ye's smile vanished instantly, and he looked Song Ling up and down: "You're acting so strange today."
Song Ling shook her head: "Just asking."
Song Ye didn't answer his question directly, but smiled and said, "Get some rest, it's very late now."
Song Ling stared at Song Ye for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "Brother, you laugh when you're flustered, didn't you know?"
Song Ye didn't speak, but Xia Zhi, who was next to him, spoke first: "It's late, I'm going to rest now."
Song Ye hummed in agreement, then looked at Song Ling with a hint of warning in his eyes: "Don't bully Zhizhi."
Song Ling licked her lips: "I didn't bully you."
Xia Zhi felt the atmosphere growing increasingly awkward, so she quickly went back to her room. Even after closing the door, she still felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Xiao Qi, where is the plot going now?"
[Host! The plot seems to have fallen apart too...]
Xia Zhi felt a little helpless, which she naturally understood. What she wanted to ask was when she could leave.
[Host! It should be soon!]
Xia Zhi could only nod, then lay down on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
A few days later, when Xia Zhi went to visit her mother, her mother was about to be discharged from the hospital and was recovering very well.
Because her mother wanted to thank her boss, Xia Zhi contacted Lu Qi again.
Mom said she wanted to thank him in person, so on Saturday afternoon, Xia Zhi took her mother to the villa where Lu Qi lived.
As soon as I knocked, someone opened the door.
It had been a long time since Xia Zhi had seen Lu Qi. Looking at Lu Qi, he seemed a little tired, but he was still as neat and tidy as ever.
Xia Mei quickly asked, "Are you Zhizhi's boss?"
Lu Qi nodded: "That's right."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mei knelt down; this was the only way she could express her gratitude.
Lu Qi quickly stepped forward, took Xia Mei's hand, and then whispered, "Aunt Xia, it's alright."
Xia Zhi looked at her mother and said softly, "Mom, sit down first and tell me slowly."
Xia Mei then sat down on the sofa next to Lu Qi, looking at him shyly, and said softly, "Thank you again for solving our urgent problem."
Lu Qi gave a somewhat lazy "hmm," seemingly not taking it seriously.
After a long silence, he said, "It's alright, Auntie, it's okay. Zhizhi is doing just fine."
Xia Mei was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned to look at Xia Zhi.
She seemed to realize something, and the smile on her face stiffened slightly.
Lu Qi smiled and said, "Auntie, if it's alright, why don't you have lunch here with me?"
Lu Qi then added meaningfully, "Although Zhizhi has left, I have hired another nanny."
The nanny this time was an older woman. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, I'll go cook."
Lu Qi nodded.
Xia Mei glanced at Xia Zhi, her expression somewhat subtle: "Zhi Zhi, where did you go now?"
Xia Zhi explained, "I... went to work as a nanny at the Song family's house."
Xia Mei quickly realized that something must have happened between the two of them. She had a thousand questions she wanted to ask Xia Zhi, but in the end she held back.
She glanced at Lu Qi without saying a word: "Boss Lu, you seem to treat Zhizhi quite well."
Lu Qi blinked and smiled, "Yes, she's very likable."
Xia Mei nodded, her face pale.
She didn't mean to stop the two of them, but she could tell that Xia wasn't happy at all; on the contrary, she felt like she was being forced.
However, she couldn't say much in front of Lu Qi.
Soon, the auntie had prepared the meal.
Lu Qi looked at Xia Mei and said, "Auntie, we can start eating now."
Xia Mei nodded: "Okay, okay."
The three sat at the dining table, looking at each other in silence, the atmosphere slightly awkward.
Lu Qi seemed oblivious to the atmosphere. He smiled at Xia Mei and said, "Auntie, it's alright, don't be nervous. Xia Zhi's new employer has already paid off the debt."
Xia Mei paused upon hearing this, naturally understanding what Lu Qi meant.
She couldn't help but look at Xia Zhi, her eyes filled with confusion: "Zhi Zhi, what exactly happened?"
Xia Zhi could only explain, "Mom, I used to work as a nanny for Boss Lu, but later I had some disagreements with him, so I went to work as a nanny for Boss Song."
Xia Mei's eyes were a little complicated. Before she could speak, Lu Qi said calmly, "I won't blame Zhizhi. Actually, there's no disagreement. Auntie, don't overthink it."
Xia Zhi stared intently at Lu Qi, suddenly realizing that Lu Qi was indeed unpredictable. Just a while ago he was begging her to go back soon, and now he was making sarcastic remarks about her.
Xia Zhi said, "Mr. Lu, we should part ways amicably."
Lu Qi paused slightly, looked at Xia Zhi, and smiled, "Of course."
Xia Mei felt embarrassed and ate her meal in silence.
Lu Qi suddenly spoke up: "Of course, I welcome Zhizhi back anytime."
Xia Mei glanced at Xia Zhi, who was furious and embarrassed, and suddenly said calmly, "Boss Lu, you like our Zhi Zhi, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qi's expression changed, and he looked at Xia Mei in astonishment.
Xia Mei smiled and said, "I am very grateful to you, but you can't force us to weave."
Xia Zhi was touched when she heard her mother say that.
Lu Qi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie..."
Xia Mei interrupted, "If Zhizhi doesn't like you, then there's nothing we can do."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qi's smile froze completely. He licked his lips and gave a muffled, strange laugh: "So, what kind of girl does Zhizhi like?"
