Yan Su and Zhong Qing spoke almost at the same time.

The two looked at each other, and finally Zhong Qing explained, "This time it's my fault. A good friend of mine was kidnapped. This matter has something to do with the Zhong family. I was too anxious, so I begged Yan Yi to help me find someone."

The strict father looked at Zhong Qing for a moment and asked, "Have you found the person?"

“Found it.”

The strict father looked at Yan Yi again and said, "This will not happen again."

Zhong Qing smiled and nodded, "Okay, we will pay attention."

After coming out of Yan's house, Zhong Qing and Yan Yi walked side by side towards the garage.

She said to Yan Yi beside her with some apology: "Thank you so much for what happened today. I caused you to be criticized by your uncle, so I owe you a favor."

"I should thank you. If she really suffered, I would never be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life."

"That's right. Mingzhu is a friend I care about, but she's also someone you care about. We both want her to be well."

Yan Yi did not comment.

Zhong Qing glanced at him and couldn't help but smile softly, "In fact, sometimes I am quite curious. If Mingzhu hadn't married, would you have done everything you could to keep her by your side? After all, you are not the kind of person who acts on impulse."

"meeting."

Without any hesitation or pause.

Perhaps in the past, he would have considered a lot, considering the possibilities, family background, and gap between the two of them.

He also thought that as time passed, his feelings for her would become shallower and weaker.

But it turns out that it wasn't.

When he learned that she was in danger, his calmness and rationality of nearly thirty years collapsed in an instant, and his mind was filled with the desire to find her as soon as possible.

Only he knew how violently his heart was beating during those brief seconds when he was pulling her towards the helicopter.

Even when she was running towards her husband, he was thinking that if she looked back, even for 0.1 second, he would take her away at all costs.

For the first time in his life, he wanted to act impulsively without considering the consequences.

But she didn't look back.

Her choices have always been firm and consistent.

And this may be one of the reasons why he admires her.

Who doesn’t like a woman who is loyal in her relationship?

…

"alright."

Pei Yang closed the lid of the ointment and said to Shen Mingzhu, "You take a rest at home for the next two days. I will keep an eye on the factory."

Shen Mingzhu picked up a mirror and looked at herself. Under the effect of the ointment, the stinging pain was almost imperceptible, but the fingerprints were more obvious than during the day, with blue and purple alternating, looking somewhat miserable.

However, she did not suffer any loss, as the crystal ornament directly hit Sun Feifei on the forehead.

"Mother."

Pei Ziheng walked into the room at some point, but did not dare to approach her. Instead, he kept a distance from her, as if he had done something wrong and was about to burst into tears the next second.

Shen Mingzhu smiled and stretched out her hand, "Come."

Pei Ziheng then walked closer and placed his slender white claws in her palm.

Pei Yang rubbed his son's furry head, stood up and left the room, leaving the space for the mother and son.

…

"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If you hadn't been worried about me, you wouldn't have been captured by the bad guys."

Shen Mingzhu pulled the person in front of her and held her fair and beautiful face.

"It was mom who was not careful enough and let the bad guys take advantage of it. It has nothing to do with you and it's not your fault."

The boy's dark eyes were filled with caution, "Don't you blame me?"

"I can't even begin to love you, so how can I bear to blame you. Fortunately, it was me who was captured by the bad guys, not you and Guoguo, otherwise mom would be worried crazy."

Pei Ziheng suddenly threw himself into her arms, and as his tears fell, the worries in his heart were completely put aside.

No one knew how scared he was.

He was afraid that his mother would blame him, and even more afraid that his mother would no longer pay attention to him or love him.

…

"Sun Feifei has been arrested. She has been charged with kidnapping, attempted trafficking, and wounding. I'm afraid she will never be able to get out of jail."

When Zhong Ying heard about Sun Feifei's fate, she couldn't help but feel sad.

I'm even more glad that she wasn't as crazy as Sun Feifei and ran to kidnap Shen Mingzhu.

"Why did you team up with Sun Feifei to secretly set a trap for Mingzhu? How did she provoke you?"

Faced with Zhong Qing's questioning, Zhong Ying did not dare to hide the truth, but he also knew that he could not hide it.

"I wanted your Crown car, but you gave it to Shen Mingzhu..."

After learning the reason why Zhong Ying hated Shen Mingzhu, Zhong Qing didn't know what to say.

"You want that car, why don't you come to me? What good can you get from trouble with Mingzhu?"

Zhong Ying said angrily, "I just can't stand the way she tries to curry favor with you."

"If you think she got the car by currying favor with me, then you can too. We are cousins, you don't have to curry favor with me. You just need to put aside your pride and ask. Even for Uncle San's sake, I will not refuse you."

Zhong Ying snorted: "I can't do the thing of asking people for things."

Zhong Qing laughed angrily, "You want both face and substance, Yingying, there is no such a good thing in the world."

Zhong Ying bit her lip, unwilling to accept it, but didn't say anything else.

Zhong Qing took a sip of the teacup and calmed down before speaking again, "What kind of car do you want?"

Zhong Ying couldn't believe it, and excitement crept into the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, "Cousin, are you kidding me? You want to give me a car?"

"When you graduate, I'll give it to you as a graduation present. You can think about what kind of car you want first."

"Thank you, cousin!"

Zhong Ying happily wanted to hug Zhong Qing, but when Zhong Qing raised her hand to refuse, she apologized in a half-soft voice.

"Cousin, I was wrong. I promise that I will never embarrass Shen Mingzhu again. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Zhong Qing looked at her and said, "I'm not the one you should apologize to."

Zhong Ying puffed up his cheeks.

…

After washing up, Pei Yang glanced at his wife who was coaxing Guoguo to sleep, then turned around and went upstairs quietly.

"Ziheng, wake up, are you asleep?"

Pei Ziheng opened his eyes, and looked at him with his dark eyes without any emotion, as if asking, "Do you think I'm asleep? " Pei Yang said, "Don't sleep yet, I have something to ask you."

Pei Ziheng had no choice but to sit up from the bed.

"How did you know to go to Miss Zhong to inquire about your mother's whereabouts today?"

He was in a hurry to find someone during the day and had no time to ask. Now he had to sort out the doubts in his mind before he could fall asleep.

He couldn't sleep, so he didn't let his son sleep either.

"Uncle Shi told me that the reason why the mooncake orders were snatched away this year was because of Sun Feifei and Miss Zhong's tricks. Sun Feifei has suffered from my mother many times, so she will definitely not give up and will think of other ways to harm my mother."

"Then how did he know all this?"

“Maybe I heard it from others.”

Seeing this, Pei Yang didn't think any more about it.

…

Since she didn't have to go to work these two days and was recuperating at home, Shen Mingzhu simply gave Sister Yu two days off.

She took Guoguo to the market to buy vegetables in the morning, sat under the tree in the yard to read books in the afternoon, and played with Guoguo. Her life was leisurely and comfortable.

Knock knock.

Shen Mingzhu put down the book, stood up and opened the gate. She was surprised to see Yan Yi outside.

Yan Yi smiled, "I was passing by here and came to see you."

Shen Mingzhu responded with a polite smile, "Please come in."

Yan Yi nodded and stepped over the threshold.

Shen Mingzhu hesitated and did not close the gate.

"Who are you?"

Guoguo stood in front of the living room door, with her fleshy little paws like a cat's, not letting Yan Yi in.

Yan Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the girl's eyebrows and eyes, which were 50% similar to Shen Mingzhu's. There was a tenderness in her eyes that he himself did not even notice.

"My last name is Yan, you can call me Uncle Yan."

Uncle Salt? Guoguo opened her big black eyes and tilted her head cutely, "Then do you know what I am?"

Yan Yi bent down, "I guess, you are Guoguo."

Guoguo crossed her round waist and said proudly, "No, I'm Tang-Guo-Guo."

"Hello, Candy."

Shen Mingzhu smiled and pulled her daughter aside, inviting Yan Yi to sit in the living room.

"Can I have tea?"

"good."

Shen Mingzhu went to the kitchen to make tea.

Guoguo stood beside the coffee table, staring at Yan Yi with her big black grape-like eyes without blinking, her rosy little face full of childish innocence and curiosity.

Yan Yi's palms were slightly curled, and a desire arose in her heart to hug her child.

He smiled warmly and stretched out his hand, "Give me a hug, okay?" (End of this chapter)
