Shen Muzhi didn't reply. He reached out and took the gift box she was carrying, then turned around and walked inside with her.
Bai Yutong then noticed Xiang Zhilan, her smile fading slightly before brightening again: "Miss Xiang, we meet again. Did you bring the children to visit their grandparents?"
Xiang Zhilan nodded, her expression somewhat awkward, and said in a low voice, "Miss Bai, I have to go now."
After she finished speaking, she walked quickly toward the gate, feeling that she had just been too embarrassed. She had been presumptuous and thought that Shen Muzhi had come to see her off, and had even told him not to. It turned out that he had come to pick up Bai Yutong.
This is so incredibly embarrassing, absolutely awful!!
Xiang Zhilan quickened her pace and went out the door.
"Nephew, you don't look too well." Bai Yutong looked up and asked, "Did you have a fight with Miss Xiang?"
Shen Muzhi ignored her. Meeting her here was just a coincidence. He was simply giving himself an excuse to shoo her away like Zhi Lan had earlier.
Bai Yutong was already used to him doing this, so of course she wouldn't presume to think that he had come to the gate to pick her up. As soon as she saw Xiang Zhilan, she knew she had misunderstood.
But she was already very happy to have him accompany her on this long journey. She knew she couldn't show too much enthusiasm, because if he knew she liked him, she wouldn't even have the chance to see him from this distance again.
So she always had to pretend to act very natural when interacting with them, like friends.
She shouldn't be too proactive if he doesn't initiate conversation.
So the two of them quietly walked inside.
Xiang Zhilan couldn't help but look back after walking a distance from the gate. She saw that the two people had also walked away and she couldn't see them very clearly. The two were standing quite close together, and even from their backs, they seemed to be a perfect match.
She looked away, feeling her hands were a little cold, and put them in her pockets.
After walking for a while, she hailed a taxi and returned to the city.
Actually, she didn't have anything important to do, just some New Year's goods. Coincidentally, Luo Che called her and said he wanted to meet her to talk about that matter, so she readily agreed and arranged to meet at a coffee shop near the mall.
She went home first, drove her little white car out, thinking that after seeing Luo Che and buying New Year's goods, she would pick up the children.
Around noon, she arrived at the coffee shop where she had arranged to meet Luo Che.
Luo Che had already ordered the red wine braised beef set meal for her, and he was still very considerate in refilling her glass with water.
"Thank you." Xiang Zhilan felt that this was the sentence she said to him the most.
Luo Che smiled gently. After finishing his lunch, he took a sip of coffee and said carefully, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time, "I agree with your suggestion. Since we are going to formally recognize a goddaughter, the procedures cannot be omitted. Let's pick a good day after the New Year. What do you think?"
“Xiao Kui will be very happy.” Xiang Zhilan agreed. Actually, Ni Sitian’s godmother title was just a casual term and not a formal one, so she wouldn’t consider Xu Tingchuan her godfather. Luo Che’s case was different; formally acknowledging him meant adding another relative.
Luo Che smiled faintly. He could tell from her expression that he really had no chance. She no longer cared that they couldn't develop a romantic relationship; she only cared about whether Xiao Kui was happy.
He hesitated all night and couldn't sleep. He truly liked her and Xiao Kui.
Now he has to choose between these two options; I wonder if he'll regret it later.
However, just thinking about how cute and adorable Xiao Kui is makes my heart melt.
There's no possibility of him being with her anymore, but it would be good if his daughter could become his goddaughter.
