Perhaps because they played too wildly today, the two little ones were already sleepy by eight o'clock.
Shen Muzhi and Xiang Zhilan carried the two children upstairs. The room was the same children's room that Xiang Zhilan had personally decorated, with an extra single bed added.
After putting the children down, Xiang Zhilan felt a little awkward. It was normal for the children to stay at their father's house, but it would seem strange for her, as the ex-wife, to stay at her ex-husband's house. She didn't want to give him any hope.
Xiang Zhilan thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Shen Muzhi, "Then I'll go first. I'll come pick them up tomorrow."
"Leave?" Shen Muzhi frowned, insisting that she stay. "If you leave, what will happen to the children who are crying at night? There's no one they know here."
Xiang Zhilan was speechless. What he said made a lot of sense, especially for Xiao Kui, who was particularly insecure at night and needed someone familiar to be with her, otherwise she would be hard to soothe when she started crying.
"You can sleep in this room with Xiao Kui. I'll take Heng Heng to my room to sleep." Seeing her hesitation, Shen Muzhi made the decision for her, picked up Heng Heng, and turned to leave.
Xiang Zhilan sighed helplessly, pouting. In some ways, this man hadn't changed at all.
Seeing Xiao Kui sleeping soundly in the children's bed, she suddenly remembered that there was something she hadn't told Shen Muzhi yet, so she grabbed her bag, got up, and left the room.
The master bedroom was right across the street. Xiang Zhilan walked over and opened the door without knocking, only to find that Shen Muzhi was taking off his clothes.
She happened to see the bruises on his back, which he must have gotten from falling and bumping into something yesterday.
Shen Muzhi turned his head and saw Xiang Zhilan come in, then put his shirt back on to cover the wounds.
Xiang Zhilan also saw the gunshot wound on her right arm, which she remembered vividly when he saved her.
"Is there something you need?" Shen Muzhi asked casually.
"Uh," Xiang Zhilan was about to speak when she saw the books scattered on the coffee table, the snack bags open, and the woman's clothes on the sofa, and her voice suddenly stopped.
Shen Muzhi could never accept such a mess. In the past, when she left things lying around, he would always be unable to stand it and would take the initiative to tidy them up.
Could that woman's coat on the sofa belong to Bai Yutong?
She knew their relationship wasn't as innocent as he claimed, so Bai Yutong put all her clothes in his bedroom!
Moreover, with so many bottles and jars on the dressing table, she didn't believe that these were for Shen Muzhi's skincare routine.
Everywhere in this room, there are traces that a woman lived here.
If it weren't for her and her child being there, Bai Yutong might have stayed overnight.
Xiang Zhilan couldn't help but glance at the large bed. Judging from the style of the bed, it was the same one from two years ago.
The thought of Bai Yutong possibly having sex with Shen Muzhi on this very boat she had once lain on made her feel physically uncomfortable, nauseous, and wanting to vomit. She wished she could at least change the bed.
Xiang Zhilan withdrew her gaze, her expression turning unusually cold, and said, "Hengheng needs to pee around four o'clock every morning. You have to carry him there to prevent him from wetting his pants. He also needs to drink milk at three o'clock, about 180 milliliters."
She took out a small bottle of formula and a baby bottle from her bag and said, "This is a single serving. Remember to mix it with warm water so it doesn't burn him."
Shen Muzhi took it and nodded: "Okay, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"That's all." Xiang Zhilan said, then turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," Shen Muzhi called out to her.
