Shen Muzhi discovered that there was still much to learn about getting along with her daughter.
To coax a child into eating nutritious food that she doesn't like, you have to be cute.
"How about I make it for you again next time?" Shen Muzhi coaxed softly.
Xiao Kui didn't respond to him, and instead lowered her head to eat rice with a spoon.
Xiang Zhilan picked up a piece of potato for Hengheng and smiled gently, "Hengheng, you should eat more vegetables."
The family enjoyed a warm and cozy dinner. After dinner, they rested until around eight o'clock, when it was time for the children to take a bath and go to bed.
Xiang Zhilan was naturally too busy to handle everything alone, so Shen Muzhi stayed behind to help.
After washing the two children clean, dressing them in pajamas, and carrying them to bed, they themselves were also a little wet.
"I'll stay with them, you should go wash up too," Shen Muzhi said to Xiang Zhilan.
Xiang Zhilan nodded, went upstairs to get her clothes, and came down to take a shower.
While taking a shower, she was thinking about taking the sheets and blankets downstairs later. She had let the children sleep downstairs because it was dangerous and inconvenient for them to go up and down the stairs. Now that Luo Che and Uncle De had left, she had to move downstairs and sleep with the children.
After washing up, Xiang Zhilan dried her wet hair and watched Shen Muzhi holding a storybook, gently telling stories to the children. Hengheng listened intently, and Xiao Kui also became a little closer to him.
Xiang Zhilan didn't make a sound to disturb him and the children, and went to the living room to tidy up the toys.
My real estate agent friend called again, saying that the homeowner was willing to lower the price a little.
Xiang Zhilan, however, was already unwilling. She disliked people who were so calculating and fickle. Who knew if they would ask for more rent after she settled down there?
"Could you please help me look again?" Xiang Zhilan drew the curtains and asked her friend, "The location can't be any more remote, but the rent budget can be a bit higher. Please keep an eye out for me."
After talking for a while, Xiang Zhilan hung up the phone and turned around, only to see Shen Muzhi standing behind her, which startled her.
"Are the children asleep?" she asked with a sigh of relief.
"Hmm." Shen Muzhi looked at her. Perhaps because she had just taken a shower with her hair tied up, the ends of her hair were a little wet, and a few strands of hair clung to her collarbone along her swan-like neck, giving her a wet and messy sexiness.
Her skin was pink from just taking a shower, and her cheeks were rosy and beautiful, like a flower blooming with dew.
Shen Muzhi felt his throat was a little dry and swallowed.
"Is there anything else?" Xiang Zhilan sensed something was off about his gaze and instinctively looked away, urging him to go back.
Suppressing the burning desire in his eyes, Shen Muzhi asked, "Are you looking for shops or stores?"
"Yes, I want to open a studio." Xiang Zhilan didn't try to hide anything.
"I have some on HSBC Road..."
"No need, I don't want to owe you anything." Xiang Zhilan interrupted him. In fact, Luo Zhenxian had left behind a lot of money, but she donated most of it to a domestic children's fund and part of it to Hengheng and Xiaokui's growth fund. As for herself, she had great confidence in her own abilities.
Shen Muzhi swallowed her words. She was still so strong-willed and determined to distance herself from him.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest," Xiang Zhilan said, urging the guest to leave.
It's so late at night now, and the children are all asleep. They're all alone, and she's just finished showering. She feels very awkward.
