Just as Xiang Zhilan was about to speak, Shen Muzhi's cell phone rang outside.
Xiang Zhilan stepped out of his arms. "Let me get your phone for you."
She turned and quickly walked out of the bathroom. After she came out, she let out a breath, then took his phone from the coffee table. She saw that it was Xu Tingchuan calling, and then took it inside to give to Shen Muzhi.
After handing the phone to Shen Mu, her own phone rang.
She went outside, glanced at the incoming call, answered it, and composed herself before speaking, "Sitian."
"Zhi Lan, there's something I want to tell you." Ni Sitian had already learned from Xu Tingchuan that Su Yan's old illness had relapsed. She hesitated for a long time and thought about it for a long time. She felt that rather than letting Xiang Zhi Lan be the last person to know, just like last time, it would be better for her to know sooner with Shen Muzhi. So she made up her mind to tell him.
However, what Ni Sitian didn't expect was that after she finished speaking, she would receive a few indifferent words from Xiang Zhilan: "I already know."
Ni Sitian was surprised, but didn't know what to say.
"It's alright," Xiang Zhilan reassured Ni Sitian, though she herself didn't really know what "it's alright" meant.
After exchanging a few more words, Ni Sitian hung up the phone and sighed softly.
Xiang Zhilan gripped her phone tightly, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at the rain outside, feeling a chill in her body.
Even though it's almost spring, this torrential rain has made the weather much colder.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the scenery outside was becoming so blurry that it was almost impossible to see clearly.
Ni Sitian had just told her that Xu Tingchuan might call and tell Shen Muzhi, and she thought that the phone number she had just handed over was probably that.
What will he say to her when he comes out? Or will he say nothing at all?
What kind of reaction did she expect from him?
Xiang Zhilan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, though she herself didn't know why.
Shen Muzhi changed his pants and came out. He saw Xiang Zhilan looking out the window, gazing into the distance. He walked over and pulled her into his arms.
Perhaps because she's been busy with work lately, she seems to have lost some weight since the Lunar New Year.
He disliked her thinness the most, as it reminded him of many unpleasant memories from the past.
"Dinner should be ready. Let's go downstairs to eat," Shen Muzhi said, taking a deep breath and inhaling the fragrance of her hair.
Xiang Zhilan looked up at Shen Muzhi behind her. His dark pupils reflected only her face, without any other impurities.
Did Xu Tingchuan actually tell him? What was he thinking?
"Okay, let's eat." She turned around in his arms, raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck, unusually acting coquettishly, "I don't want to walk, can you carry me down?"
Shen Muzhi smiled faintly, bent down and lifted her knees, carrying her steadily downstairs.
Xiang Zhilan felt secure in his arms. Her eyes were fixed on his face. He wasn't her type before; she thought he was too cold and gloomy. But now, she didn't know if he had changed or if she was just blind, but she found his face much gentler and more handsome.
She was carried downstairs and placed on a chair. The maid didn't even look at her and continued with her own business.
After the dishes were served, she watched as he ladled a bowl of chicken soup for her and placed it beside her.
She lowered her head and took a sip, feeling as if her whole body was warming up. When she looked up at him again, she saw that he had his eyes downcast and looked thoughtful.
