As Shen Muzhi watched her run away, his gaze grew increasingly dark and profound.
Xiang Zhilan returned to the long table and watched as the children finished eating. She then took a sandwich and prepared to eat as well.
"Miss Xiang, this is your breakfast." Butler Chen brought a four-layered, exquisitely insulated box and placed it in front of Xiang Zhilan's table, opening it and placing each layer on the table.
The first layer is two cute little pig-shaped red bean buns, the second layer is chicken and egg rolls, the third layer is fruit salad, and the last layer is oatmeal milk custard.
"This was specially ordered by the master to be made by the kitchen." Butler Chen was unaware that Xiang Zhilan was pregnant. He thought that his master had become more thoughtful and caring. He smiled and said, "He woke everyone up at five o'clock today. The whole villa was in a frenzy preparing these dozens of breakfasts, just so he could come and see you early."
Xiang Zhilan lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and felt a little awkward.
The four items in front of her were all ordinary, but since she found out she was pregnant, she had looked up relevant nutritional information and could see that these four breakfast items were specially prepared, with wheat, milk, lean meat, eggs, vegetables, and fruits all included.
"Actually, the master came here last night when he returned. He saw that the orphanage had turned off the lights and was resting, so he didn't want to disturb him." Butler Chen knew that his young master was not good at expressing himself, so he had to say a few words for him from time to time. Otherwise, when would he ever be able to marry the young mistress?
Xiang Zhilan was eating breakfast with her head down, while Butler Chen was still talking about how Shen Muzhi had narrowly escaped death in the airport bombing.
She couldn't help but ask, "How's his leg?"
When Butler Chen saw that Xiang Zhilan had responded, he was delighted, but he immediately had a change of heart, his face turned serious, and he sighed, "Alas."
Hearing Butler Chen's sigh, Xiang Zhilan looked up and frowned: "What's wrong?"
Butler Chen sighed and shook his head, looking deeply saddened and regretful.
Xiang Zhilan's heart tightened. "His leg wasn't just broken, was it?"
She thought that since he was able to return to the country so quickly, his injuries must not be serious, but why did Butler Chen have such an expression on his face? It was as if he would never be able to stand up again.
“Miss Xiang, please don’t mention his leg in front of him again.” Butler Chen did not answer Xiang Zhilan directly, but instead led her to think in a different direction, and then said magnanimously, “If you dislike him because of this, we will not blame you.”
Xiang Zhilan's expression changed slightly. Had she caused Shen Muzhi to become crippled?
But he didn't mention it at all just now, how could that be?
“Miss Xiang, the master is a very proud man. If you stay by his side to take care of him out of pity, he will definitely not agree.” Butler Chen’s words were all sarcastic and meant to provoke her.
Xiang Zhilan's eyes darkened, thinking that Shen Muzhi was indeed that kind of person, which was why he hadn't mentioned his leg injury at all.
Butler Chen glanced at Zhi Lan's expression, then sighed again, shaking his head, "What a pity! The master is so young, and he hasn't even married yet. What will he do in the future? He's so proud and arrogant, and he won't settle. I'm afraid... alas..."
Xiang Zhilan pursed her lips tightly, her face tense, and remained silent.
After a few sighs, Director Chen felt the time was right, so he turned and walked towards Shen Muzhi, intending to tell him about his plan to gain sympathy by playing the victim.
But to his surprise, Shen Muzhi had already made up his mind. As he approached, he saw that Shen Muzhi was holding a yellow briefcase, and inside it was...
