When they got back, there was a hot dinner waiting for them.
Butler Chen watched from the side and found the two of them eating a rather strange dinner.
He's used to seeing his wife serve him food, but today was surprising. She was actually serving him vegetables and soup, and even telling him to eat slowly and carefully. More importantly, there was a handprint on his cheek…
However, although it felt strange, the harmony was very comforting. My husband hadn't had much of an appetite the past few days, but today he ate a whole bowl.
Dinner ended in this unusually harmonious atmosphere. Xiang Zhilan followed Shen Mu upstairs and into the room.
Before she could even sit down, her phone rang. She saw it was her mother calling and suddenly remembered the blind date she had stood up. She quickly answered the phone: "Hello, Mom."
"Xiang Zhilan! Where have you been! Do you know that Ah Cheng waited for you for an hour at the French restaurant! Your Aunt Jiang just called and gave me a good scolding! Explain yourself! If you don't want to go on a blind date, just say so!" Xiang's mother was really angry this time, mainly because she felt really bad about what had happened.
"I..." Xiang Zhilan glanced at Shen Muzhi, unsure how to explain to her mother, and said, "I'm sorry, I really have something important to do right now, I won't be going back tonight."
"What exactly happened?" Xiang's mother wasn't an unreasonable person; if it were truly urgent, she wouldn't blame her daughter.
"Anyway, it's something very important, I'll talk to you another day." Xiang Zhilan hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
Shen Muzhi looked at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips tightened: "Are you dressed so beautifully today to go on a blind date?"
He couldn't help but hear his mother's voice because it was too loud.
Xiang Zhilan felt inexplicably guilty; she was preparing to go on a blind date while he was critically ill.
But he has to blame himself. What was he doing, pretending to be a Casanova? He pushed her away when he was sick, thinking that this would make her less heartbroken in the future?
"Of course I have to go on blind dates. His biological father is irresponsible, so can't I find him a cheap father?" Xiang Zhilan said, rubbing her belly to make her act more convincing. She said aggrievedly, "Otherwise, what are you going to do with him? We won't be able to get a birth permit in the future. If he doesn't get married, I'll have no choice but to have an abortion."
"This child is mine, you're not allowed to have any other thoughts." Shen Muzhi reached out and grasped Xiang Zhilan's hand.
"What is yours? Who are you to me? What right do you have!" Xiang Zhilan felt both resentful and distressed when she thought about him leaving alone, not knowing where he would hide and quietly await death.
"I am your man, the father of your child!"
"Hehe, you're at most my ****. She's still very angry about his deception."
"She's just saying that." Shen Muzhi might have been hurt by her words in the past, but now he was certain that she cared about him a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have cried like that in the hospital.
"Don't think that just because you're sick now, I'll forgive you for what you did before. I'll settle these scores with you later." Xiang Zhilan glared at him.
“I didn’t sleep with other women,” Shen Muzhi explained first, addressing the most important point. “That day was the day you bought that sex doll.”
“I know, if you had slept with other women, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now.”
Shen Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; as long as she believed him, that was enough.
