When Xiang Zhilan realized that he was staring at her, her smile slowly faded, she pursed her lower lip, and her eyes darted away a little shyly.
"It's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard." Shen Muzhi looked away as her smile faded.
Xiang Zhilan was somewhat moved upon hearing this. Although the child was an unexpected arrival, he took great care of it, even more so than she, as the mother.
"Thank you for doing so much for him." She suddenly wanted to say this to him.
Shen Muzhi frowned slightly. To him, these words made him sound like an outsider. His expression turned cold: "Of course, he is my child."
Xiang Zhilan didn't understand why he suddenly changed his expression. The atmosphere was fine just now, so how was she supposed to bring up the wedding now?
"Is there something you need?" Shen Muzhi noticed Xiang Zhilan's hesitation and thought that she wouldn't bring him a glass of milk for no reason; she must have something to ask her.
"What do you think about holding the wedding on June 1st?" Xiang Zhilan hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking.
Shen Muzhi was a little surprised. Just a few days ago, she seemed indifferent to the wedding and had no interest in it, leaving everything to others. But today she suddenly gave her opinion on the wedding.
"You can speak your mind." A hint of softness slowly appeared in Shen Muzhi's cold and sharp eyes.
Xiang Zhilan then brought up the idea of holding a wedding together with Ni Sitian and her husband, and listed all the benefits.
Shen Muzhi noticed that when she mentioned this, her eyes lit up, a slight smile played on her lips, and she looked at him expectantly at the end, "What do you think?"
Seeing the smile in her eyes, he couldn't help but reach out and take her hand, pulling her closer to him.
When Xiang Zhilan was touched by his slightly cold hand, she instinctively wanted to pull her hand away, but then she remembered that she had just been talking to him about the wedding, and it would be a bit of an overreaction to suddenly pull her hand away now.
So she held on without moving, her grip stiffening slightly as he held her.
"Do you really want to have a wedding with Ni Sitian?" Shen Muzhi touched her ring finger and took out a row of rings from the drawer.
"Yes," Xiang Zhilan answered frankly, watching him pick out a ring from a row of rings and slip it onto her finger, then asked in confusion, "What's this for?"
"Butler Chen sent it over this afternoon, saying it was for measuring the size of the engagement ring," Shen Muzhi said calmly.
The one he put on was too loose, so he took it out and put it down, then picked out a smaller one and put it on.
Xiang Zhilan blushed as she watched him focus intently on putting the ring on her finger. She wondered if Butler Chen had sent it without her permission.
He clearly wanted to measure her finger circumference, but he was being so awkward and hypocritical. This guy is really... would it kill him to be more honest?
"How does this feel?" Shen Muzhi thought it was about the same and looked up to ask Zhi Lan how she felt.
Xiang Zhilan snapped out of her daze, moved her ring finger, felt it fit perfectly, and nodded: "Okay."
Shen Muzhi took a larger one and measured his finger circumference. Xiang Zhilan saw that the one he took was obviously too small, so she took one for him herself, pulled his glove on, and said, "This one is about right."
The action was performed very naturally. Shen Muzhi looked at Xiang Zhilan, and when she was about to withdraw her hand after putting it on, he grabbed her soft hand.
