After Xu Tingchuan got into the car, Xiao Zhang started the engine.
"What exactly happened between Shen Muzhi and Zhi Lan? Why did he go to Syria with Zhi Lan?" Ni Sitian hadn't asked in detail earlier because of the crowd, but as soon as she got home, she couldn't wait to ask.
"Mu Zhi wants to marry her." Xu Tingchuan didn't know how to explain what happened on the cruise ship, so he went straight to the conclusion.
Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian frowned: "He still wants to use Zhi Lan as a substitute for Su Yan?"
Xu Tingchuan shook his head. "No, he knew that Zhi Lan and Su Yan were two different individuals. They had nothing in common, from their personalities to their habits."
"Then what does he mean? Has he fallen in love with Zhi Lan?" Ni Sitian asked in surprise.
It wasn't that she didn't believe in Zhi Lan's charm; Zhi Lan had always had many outstanding suitors. However, Shen Muzhi was clearly deeply in love with Su Yan and hadn't forgotten her for ten years. Why would he suddenly want to marry Zhi Lan when they had only known each other for a few months?
"Probably." Xu Tingchuan couldn't give Ni Sitian a definite answer. He didn't want to lie to her. He probably hadn't even figured out whether Shen Muzhi had fallen in love with Xiang Zhilan, so how could he explain it to Ni Sitian?
Feelings are a very delicate matter; even those involved can't explain it clearly, and bystanders can only watch and shouldn't get involved.
“He actually went to Syria for Zhi Lan.” Ni Sitian lowered her head and pondered. She originally didn’t want Shen Muzhi to get close to Zhi Lan because he was using her as a substitute. She didn’t expect that he would risk his life for Zhi Lan. This was something Feng Jingxian couldn’t compare to. Perhaps she should change her opinion of Shen Muzhi a little.
"Oh no!" Ni Sitian jumped up from the sofa, looked down at Xu Tingchuan, and said urgently, "The problem is that Zhi Lan didn't go to Syria at all."
"She didn't go?" Xu Tingchuan frowned, about to speak again, when his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, got up, went to the balcony, and answered the call. Pei Yang's urgent voice came from the other end: "Xiang Zhilan bought abortion pills. It's been three days since that day. If she took the pills, the baby will definitely be gone."
"Okay, I understand." Xu Tingchuan glanced at Ni Sitian, who was standing in the living room staring at him, and could only give a curt reply.
After hanging up the phone, he went back inside.
"What happened?" Ni Sitian subtly noticed that Xu Tingchuan's expression was off when he answered the phone.
“Pei Yang said Mu Zhi is already in Syria.” Xu Tingchuan noticed that Ni Sitian’s observation skills were becoming increasingly sharp. After saying a few words, he changed the subject to divert her attention: “You just said that Zhi Lan is not in Syria, so where is she now?”
Ni Sitian shook her head. "I don't know either. She said she was on a business trip."
Xiang Zhilan works as a photographer and travels frequently for work, so Ni Sitian wasn't surprised. Besides, since he said he was on a business trip within China, she didn't ask any further questions. As long as he wasn't going to a dangerous place like Syria, she trusted Zhilan.
Xu Tingchuan frowned. He was worried that Xiang Zhilan would take the medicine and then hide somewhere to recuperate.
"Call Shen Muzhi and tell him to come back quickly, it's too dangerous for him there." Ni Sitian said hurriedly. Seeing that Xu Tingchuan didn't move, she thought he was angry with her, so she grabbed his arm and explained anxiously, "I didn't mean to hide the fact that Zhi Lan wasn't going. I really didn't know that Shen Muzhi would go to Syria with her."
