"Yes, he's very handsome." Xiang Zhilan had a good impression of the young man; he was so polite and even saw them out.
"Really? I don't think so." Shen Muzhi had seen that employee before, but he wasn't a confidant and didn't have any particular impression of him. He only chose someone unfamiliar because Xiang Zhilan was familiar with all of Xiang Zhilan's confidants.
Xiang Zhilan laughed, annoyed: "Why do you talk as if you've met him before?"
Speechless and afraid of giving himself away, Shen Mu said, "Anyway, he's definitely not as good-looking as me."
Xiang Zhilan almost choked on her drink. She thought only Pei Yang would say such things, so she held back her laughter.
Seeing the joy in her eyes, Shen Muzhi smiled first.
Xiang Zhilan couldn't help but meet his gaze and laugh along.
The two laughed for a while before stopping. After the laughter subsided, Xiang Zhilan felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, saying, "I'm going to see the children."
Shen Muzhi felt it was a rare opportunity for the two of them to be alone and the atmosphere was so good, so he didn't want to miss it. He grabbed Xiang Zhilan's wrist and said in a low voice, "They just fell asleep, so let's not go in."
Xiang Zhilan twisted her wrist to pull her hand back.
If she doesn't go to see the child, it seems like she has nowhere else to stay here. Downstairs is Shen Guoliang, and here is Shen Muzhi. She can't just stand in the corridor, can she?
"Come with me." Shen Muzhi grabbed Xiang Zhilan's wrist again and pulled her into his bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Zhilan was forced to sit on the sofa and saw Shen Muzhi rummaging through the bedside table drawer.
After a while, he walked towards her carrying a stack of books and put them in her hands.
Xiang Zhilan looked down and saw that it was a comic she had once followed, and it was even a **** comic with a very sexy cover.
"What are you doing?" She was genuinely both amused and exasperated.
"Don't you like watching?" Shen Muzhi didn't really know how to please her, so he could only use this clumsy but direct method. As for renting the studio, he had only mentioned it briefly last time before she refused, so he could only take a roundabout approach.
"You're the one who likes it!" Xiang Zhilan shoved the book back at Shen Muzhi. Did he think she was just a woman who liked reading erotic comics?
“You used to like reading these.” He had ordered every single volume of Shen Muzhi’s comics for her, thinking that she could read them when she came back.
He looked a little disappointed, lowered his head, and flipped through a book, saying, "You're not reading this one either? Weren't you really looking forward to the second volume? Don't you want to know if Black Cat and her leopard boyfriend broke up?"
When Xiang Zhilan heard him say that, she remembered the situation when she was chasing after him. It seemed that the book she was reading had an ending. The black cat ran away and changed back into cat form from human form. He began to wander around. She wondered if the leopard had found him in the end.
Her memories were stirred, and she couldn't help but glance at his hand, but she had just refused, so she was too embarrassed to ask for it now.
Shen Muzhi noticed her little glance, suppressed his laughter, deliberately put the book on the coffee table, and said, "If you don't want to read it, then don't. You sit down first, I'll go downstairs for a while."
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
Xiang Zhilan saw the door close, then looked back at the comic book. After a moment of internal struggle, she finally reached out and picked it up, glancing guiltily at the door again.
Once he was sure Shen Muzhi had gone far away, a smile immediately appeared on his lips as he opened the comic book.
