Having eaten her fill, Xiang Zhilan's attitude towards Shen Muzhi became much warmer, and she even mentioned to him that she used to come here often with her colleagues.
This is near where her former magazine office was located. She misses the time she worked here. Although she was always traveling for work, she got along very well with her colleagues.
"Do you want to come back to work?" Shen Muzhi asked, seeing how happy she sounded.
"I can't come back for now. The magazine doesn't need a pregnant woman doing nothing." Xiang Zhilan said, her resentment towards Shen Muzhi resurfacing. He was the one who messed up her job and made it impossible for her to find work while pregnant.
She couldn't help but complain to him, saying that no one had responded to her resumes recently, and that he had devalued her and that she had to start all over again.
Shen Muzhi listened in silence, and Xiang Zhilan felt there was no point in complaining to him, so she stopped talking.
"Why did you stop talking?" He wanted to hear more; they knew so little about each other, and it was rare for her to be willing to say more to him.
"What are you going to say? I have a lot of things to say to you, do you want to hear them?" Xiang Zhilan said irritably.
Shen Muzhi stopped talking and got up to go to the bathroom.
Xiang Zhilan sat bored, waiting for him to return, when someone approached her and asked, "Miss, are you alone? May I sit here?"
He asked that question aloud, but he had already taken up Shen Muzhi's seat.
Xiang Zhilan was already used to this kind of forced conversation and simply ignored him.
"Miss, do you also work around here? I don't think I've seen you before," the man said warmly.
Xiang Zhilan found him too noisy and said, "Sir, you are sitting in my husband's seat."
"Miss, you must be joking. How could a beautiful girl like you get married so early?" The man even complimented her, thinking he was being witty.
“She’s not joking anymore.” Shen Muzhi looked at the man sitting opposite Xiang Zhilan with a stern face.
The man felt a little embarrassed after seeing Shen Mu, and got up and left with an awkward laugh.
Xiang Zhilan felt extremely uncomfortable thinking about how he had overheard her mention of her husband, as if she had actually acknowledged him, even though she had wanted a divorce.
Shen Muzhi frowned slightly, still looking displeased. He had only been gone for less than two minutes, and she already had someone else trying to chat her up.
Moreover, she seemed quite used to it, suggesting she'd been approached by strangers many times before.
"Let's go." Shen Muzhi had already paid the bill when he came out of the restroom. He turned and walked out with a dark face.
Xiang Zhilan frowned slightly when she saw him walking so fast. He had insisted on holding her hand before, but now he turned his back on her. He was so unpredictable and had such an annoying personality.
He got into the car, but Xiang Zhilan didn't want to go back with him, so she walked across the street.
Shen Muzhi saw Xiang Zhilan walking towards the opposite side in the rearview mirror, so he immediately got out of the car, ran over and grabbed her hand.
"Shen Muzhi, what's wrong with you!" He ignored her just now, and now he's trying to grab her hand. He's just a crazy person for no reason.
Ignoring her struggles and objections, Shen Muzhi pulled her back into his car and slammed the door shut.
Xiang Zhilan couldn't open the car door after locking it from the inside, and glared at him angrily: "Are you crazy?!"
“If jealousy is a flaw, then I have it,” Shen Muzhi said, starting the car.
