Shen Muzhi looked down at Tuantuan, who was kicking her little legs in the stroller. His son and daughter should be much taller than Tuantuan. Xu Tingchuan had boasted to him a few days ago that Tuantuan could call him "Dad".
His babies should have been able to say "daddy" by now; I wonder if Xiang Zhilan taught them to say "daddy."
Previously, Pei Yang had tried to provoke him by saying that his children might already be calling other men "Dad." Just thinking about this made his face darken.
"Then I'll go first." Seeing that Shen Muzhi's face was terrifying and he didn't say anything, Ni Sitian wanted to push the stroller and leave first.
"It's on my way, I'll give you a ride." Shen Muzhi said expressionlessly, bending down to take Tuantuan out of the stroller and walking towards the elevator.
Ni Sitian had no chance to object. She pushed the cart and quickly walked into the elevator. Once the elevator doors closed, it was quiet.
She couldn't help but admire Xiang Zhilan for being able to stay with Shen Muzhi for so long without freezing to death.
If Xu Tingchuan before they became acquainted was a freezer, then Shen Muzhi was an Arctic glacier; she was truly the least adept at dealing with this kind of personality.
The elevator doors opened, and Shen Muzhi strode out carrying Tuantuan, with Ni Sitian quickly following behind.
Upon reaching the parking area, Shen Muzhi placed Tuantuan into Ni Sitian's arms and folded the stroller into the trunk.
Ni Sitian opened the back door and was stunned when she got in. There were actually two child seats in the back.
Fortunately, the car was spacious enough that there was still a seat for her.
After placing Tuantuan in the child seat, she looked up at Shen Muzhi. He probably hadn't given up on Zhilan and the children, and perhaps even fantasized that they could be found soon, since he had even installed a child seat in the car.
Alas, it's a pity he realized it too late. Zhi Lan probably doesn't care anymore. She's doing so well now, why would she want to come back to him?
“It’s been a year and a half. Zhi Lan has a new life and has made new friends. You should start over too,” Ni Sitian couldn’t help but say to Shen Muzhi.
Shen Muzhi drove with his eyes fixed ahead, his lips pressed tightly together. He then said in a cold voice, "I asked Tingchuan before what he would do if you were really dead and not coming back. He said he didn't believe you were dead, not even hypothetical. He said he would search the whole world to find you."
Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian felt a slight sting in her nose, lowered her eyes, and held Tuantuan's little hand. He must have been suffering terribly at that time.
After a moment, Ni Sitian composed herself, looked up at Shen Muzhi's profile again, and pursed her lips, unsure whether she should have said what she did. It seemed too hurtful, but…
“You and Zhilan are ultimately different from me and Tingchuan.” Ni Sitian pursed her lips and said, “Tingchuan and I love each other. Not only is he looking for me, but I will also do everything I can to come back. But with you and Zhilan, the more you look for her, the more she hides. Perhaps only when you let go and stop bothering her will she return to Yihai. Do you understand?”
Shen Muzhi gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white and protruding.
Ni Sitian glanced at it and then lowered her eyes. She knew that what she said was hurtful, but this was the reality between him and Xiang Zhilan, and he could not escape it no matter how much he tried to avoid it.
A year and a half ago, Zhi Lan might have had a slight crush on him, but it was only a slight crush. As time has passed, I'm afraid that now...
Zhi Lan looked so happy in the photo, her face was much fuller, and she was even more radiant and beautiful. She was clearly not still longing for him. She felt that his future was not very optimistic and it was better to give up sooner rather than later.
