Xiang Zhilan felt his gaze was too intense. Not wanting to be looked at any longer, she quickly walked towards the children, saying, "Be careful."
Shen Muzhi smiled faintly and followed, saying, "Hengheng, Xiaokui, let's play with Mommy."
The two children were very happy, and Xiang Zhilan could only stay with them. She sat on one side of the seesaw with the children, while he sat on the other side and could easily lift them up.
When Butler Chen and Afang heard that the master had returned with his wife and children, they all rushed out, calling out to the lady.
Xiang Zhilan glared at Shen Muzhi. He was definitely not correcting them on purpose. She took the child down and said to everyone, "From now on, call her Miss Xiang."
Butler Chen and the others smiled and squatted down to play with the two children.
The children were quite happy because they had been with a room full of uncles and aunts before, so they were used to it.
The two mischievous kids played in the yard for a while before finally going inside.
Xiang Zhilan walked inside and found that apart from having more children's things in the house, nothing else had changed. The only difference was that there was a photograph hanging in the living room.
It's a photo of a vast grassland, with a person sitting on a giant rock. Only their back is visible, but that back seems to tell a story.
Xiang Zhilan pursed her lips. This photo was the one she had secretly taken of Shen Muzhi's work, the one she regretted the most. But because of this work, she had two such lovely children, Hengheng and Xiaokui, and she felt that all the hardships she had endured were worthwhile.
Shen Muzhi walked to Xiang Zhilan's side, his eyes gentle, and said softly, "It is our starting point."
Xiang Zhilan turned her gaze away and went to look for the two children. It turned out that the two kids had completely forgotten about their mother since they had found toys. They were playing very well with Afang and the others, and were not at all strangers to them.
"Sir, dinner is ready," Butler Chen said with a beaming smile. It was clear that everyone here was looking forward to and welcoming their return.
"Hengheng, Xiaokui, let's eat first and then play, okay?" Shen Muzhi said to the two little radishes who were having a great time.
The maid picked them up and helped them sit in the dining chairs.
Shen Muzhi wanted to take Zhi Lan's hand, but Zhi Lan raised her hand to smooth her hair, avoiding his hand, and walked over.
He clenched his fist and then walked over.
After hearing a few words whispered by the maids who came in from outside, Butler Chen went over and whispered to Shen Muzhi, "Sir, Miss Bai has arrived."
As always, Bai Yutong walked into the house as soon as Butler Chen finished speaking.
This time, however, before she could even call out to Shen Muzhi, her voice was choked in her throat.
As soon as I entered, I saw a family of four sitting in the restaurant, which felt quite warm and cozy.
The smile on her face froze for only a fraction of a second before she stepped forward to greet her: "Miss Xiang, we meet again."
Xiang Zhilan smiled and nodded. Although Shen Muzhi had explained his relationship with Bai Yutong to her, she felt it wasn't that simple. He was slow to react to emotions, but her sixth sense was quite sharp.
He and Bai Yutong are not related by blood at all, so it's not impossible that Bai Yutong likes him.
"Has Miss Bai eaten?" Xiang Zhilan asked. After receiving Bai Yutong's shake of the head, she said to Butler Chen, "Please add another set of chopsticks and a bowl."
Suddenly, Shen Muzhi laughed out loud, his eyes full of joy.
