He didn't want to push her out anymore, but it seemed too late.

Shangguan Qing took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, his behavior was gentle.

These days, she was the one who provoked him first, and when he fell in love with her, she was leaving him now.

After all, she was the one who was sorry to Cheng Ji.

The two were exhausted and it was already night, so they fell asleep in each other's arms in a frank manner.

......

The next day, morning.

As usual, Cheng Ji left Cheng's house very early and went to the group.

Shangguan Qing lifted the quilt, put on his slippers, and just raised his legs.

"hiss--"

My thigh hurts.

She held onto the wall and moved step by step into the bathroom.

He looked at himself in the mirror and was stunned.

If I didn't know that I was doing it voluntarily and that I had purple and bruises all over my body, I would have thought that something had happened to me?

"It was my first time getting horny, and I'm so lucky. I don't know which woman will be so happy in the future."

Shangguan Qing rested in the bedroom for a long time, and only went downstairs when he felt strong enough.

Uncle Yan waited for her at the stairs just like before, and then waited for her to finish breakfast and asked the driver to take her to the group.

This time, though, she might want to change the process.

"Uncle Yan, please tell Cheng Ji tonight that I'm going back to the Antique Shop. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

After that, she continued to eat breakfast.

Uncle Yan understood what she meant and felt a little disappointed.

I finally see Mr. Cheng care about a girl, but now she is leaving him.

From now on he will be alone again.

He risked losing his position as housekeeper, but couldn't help but want to ask, "Ms. Shangguan, don't you like Mr. Cheng?"

She cared about him so much before, asked him about his preferences, and continued to get to know him.

Isn't this love?

Shangguan Qing held the spoon, a complex emotion flashing across his face.

Her approach to Cheng Ji is more utilitarian. If she really talks about feelings, it is probably only guilt.

Even though she knew that he was doomed to be alone and was most afraid of someone leaving him, she still chose to leave.

"Uncle Yan, if Cheng Ji comes home late in the future, prepare some midnight snacks for him, the kind that nourishes his stomach."

After breakfast, Uncle Yan arranged for a driver to take her to the antique shop, but she refused.

I walked outside the villa area and walked for a long time before I finally stopped a taxi.

After more than three hours, we finally arrived at the door of Dengqing Antique Shop.

She opened the door and saw the familiar environment again.

"Youxuan."

"Here I come! Sir!"

Youxuan looked around and said, "Sir, didn't you want to stop coming to the antique shop? Why are you back?"

Shangguan Qing walked to the sofa by the window and lay down on his side to take a rest.

"I won't go to Cheng's house anymore. I'll just stay in the antique shop. You don't have to go there either."

She kept her eyes closed, and from her tone you could tell she was in a bad mood.

Youxuan consciously closed his mouth and stayed quietly.

Shangguan Qing turned over and said, "Go find Mu Cheng and ask him to come to Dengqing Antique Shop to pick her up."

"Yes, sir."

......

Around five in the afternoon, the sound of waves at the beach was getting louder and louder, and the tide was about to rise.

"Miss Shangguan?"

Mu Cheng came here according to the address Youxuan gave him.

The store was not closed, so he walked in directly and found Shangguan Qing sleeping and Youxuan hiding outside the door.

Shangguan Qing slowly opened his eyes and sat up, "Let's go."

"Um."

The two of them walked out of the antique shop, and Mu Cheng did not forget to take a look inside the shop, as if he was looking for something.

Mu Cheng helped her open the back door, and Shangguan Qing thanked him without a smile.

Since there was a driver driving, he got in the car and sat next to her.

He pointed at the antique shop that was becoming increasingly blurry behind the car and said, "Is this your own shop? It looks like you have quite a lot of antiques, and the styles are pretty nice too."

She propped her elbow on the car window and held her forehead with one hand, "Yeah, I'm just driving for fun."

"The name of the store is also very nice, Waiting for You, as if it is waiting for someone to come."

Hearing this, Shangguan Qing suddenly came to his senses, glanced at him, then looked away, "I just looked it up randomly in the dictionary."

The topic ended with her talking nonsense.

There was no more conversation on the way.

......

Mu Cheng's parents are retired state leaders.

There are people in the family who are in politics, business, medicine, and literature.

His family is involved in a wide range of industries, so their network of contacts is also extensive.

"arrive."

When Shangguan Qing got off the car, he saw a house built in the style of an ancient mansion, with two large stone lions solemnly guarding the door.

Looking up, I saw the plaque on the door that read: "Mu Mansion."

It seems to be another wealthy family.

Mu Cheng walked to her side, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile without any sense of distance, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you in."

He reached out his hand to hold hers, but was rejected by Shangguan Qing.

"You go ahead and lead the way."

He had no choice but to withdraw his hand awkwardly.

As the two stepped through the threshold, two female nannies came to greet them.

The interior of the house is similar to the decoration design in the costume dramas that you have watched.

The corridor follows the red wall and seems to have no end, with several winding roads branching off from it.

The corridor railings surround a square courtyard, with green plants and flowers planted inside blooming one after another.

Shangguan Qing followed them inside and turned countless corners before arriving at the main living room, where guests were received.

As they were about to enter the living room, Mu Cheng lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear.

Remind quietly, "If they ask you where your family is, what you do, how old you are, and all kinds of other things about you, just leave it to me and you don't have to say anything."

Shangguan Qing walked a little further away with an expressionless face, keeping some distance between him and him.

"I'll only help you this time, so you better think of your own excuse." His tone was cold.

I'm helping him now just to clarify some things, and to repay him for the favor of handing me the scarf in the coffee shop.

"Don't worry, I'll bring back a real girlfriend next time."

After he finished speaking, Mu Cheng's eyes fell squarely on her profile.

......

In the living room, a whole family was talking and laughing, but when they saw someone coming, their voices stopped abruptly.

"Oh! Isn't this my eldest nephew who just returned home?"

The person who spoke was Mu Cheng's aunt, his father's sister.

She saw the beauty next to Mu Cheng and immediately stepped forward to greet her excitedly, "You are Shangguan Qing? Mu Cheng is lucky to have such a pretty girl."

Mu Cheng pushed her away and pulled Shangguan Qing behind him, saying in a reproachful tone, "Aunt, if you scare her away later, you will be responsible for finding her back."

"Hey! You kid."

She pointed at him, her tone was disdainful but her eyes were doting.

Mu Cheng's father, Mu Hongxuan, was sitting at the upper seat. From the moment Shangguan Qing walked in, he had been looking him up and down.

Including now, there is only seriousness on his stern face.

"Now that you're all here, please take a seat. Aunt Chen, pour tea for the guests."

Aunt Chen stood behind him, and said respectfully, "Yes, Master Mu."

Shangguan Qing followed Mu Cheng and sat in the two seats closest to the top seat. Aunt Chen walked over and poured her a cup of Longjing tea, then stepped aside.

The way they spoke and the environment of the house they lived in made it hard for her not to suspect that women had a very low status in his family.

It has the atmosphere of an ancient feudal family.

Mu Cheng challenged, "Mom and Dad, I've brought everyone back this time, so you can't urge me to get married or force me to go on blind dates anymore."

Mu Hongxuan picked up the peach cake on the table and threw it at him.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Mu Cheng picked up the peach cake and put it aside, then closed his mouth.

While these people were observing Shangguan Qing, Shangguan Qing was also observing them.

Especially Mu Cheng’s mother Ge Peishu who was sitting next to Mu Hongxuan.

The moment she saw her, her eyes were obviously panicked.

He rubbed his hands together nervously, as if he was very afraid of her.
