"Is it because of Jiang Xiaorou?" Zhou Mengmeng asked again.
She shouldn't interfere with his privacy, nor should she ask these questions. But she saw that Jing Muchen was very uncomfortable. Normally, he would not show it, pretending to be strong.
But in fact, everyone has a vulnerable side, but we are unwilling to show it easily.
"No." Jing Muchen denied.
"Actually, if you have something on your mind, you can say it out. If you don't say it, no one will know what you are thinking. If you don't mind, you can tell me." Zhou Mengmeng said again.
She knew that she was not qualified and unworthy of being Jing Muchen's listener, but he really needed it, otherwise he would have psychological problems.
Jing Muchen glanced at Zhou Mengmeng and asked, "Tell you?"
He never tells his inner thoughts to anyone, and he doesn't want others to see his vulnerability or know his weaknesses. He is a strong man, he must be strong and save face.
"Although I don't deserve it, I think you will feel better if you say it out. I won't express any opinions, nor will I ask you why. Besides, I can't speak. Even if I know your secret, I won't tell others." Zhou Mengmeng gestured with her hands.
What she said was right, but Jing Muchen didn't want to say it. He lay back in the chair, looking at the round moon in the sky. He was always the loneliest.
Zhou Mengmeng didn't dare ask any more questions. She sat there quietly, also looking at the moon in the sky. She wondered where her father was and how she could find her family.
Zhou Mengmeng was also afraid. This place couldn't be her permanent home, and she couldn't stay with Jing Muchen forever. She began to feel confused.
Suddenly, Jing Muchen spoke.
Zhou Mengmeng was scared when he started talking, because when she looked over, she found that Jing Muchen was not looking at her, but was looking at the sky while talking, but what he said was what was on his mind.
Zhou Mengmeng lay there listening. She heard what was on Jing Muchen's mind, knew how much he cared about Jiang Xiaorou, and knew how hard it had been for him to live alone all these years.
He is actually just glamorous on the surface. Everyone thinks he is the richest man and is very rich, but in fact he lacks many of the happiness that ordinary people have. Things that everyone can get without spending money have become a luxury for him.
It turns out that each of us has something we can't get.
Jing Muchen said a lot without realizing it. He had never said so much from his heart as he did today. He felt much better after speaking it out.
There was less garbage in his heart, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
When he turned his head and looked at Zhou Mengmeng beside him, he realized that she had fallen asleep a long time ago, hypnotized by his touching yet boring story. He continued to tell a lot more.
Then.
He got up again, went to the room to get a blanket and covered Zhou Mengmeng with it, then went back to sleep. When Zhou Mengmeng woke up, it was already daybreak, and she was still lying on the chair on the balcony.
Zhou Mengmeng felt so sore all over from sleeping. She looked at the time and found that it was already very late. She hadn't even prepared breakfast for Jing Muchen yet. She was going to get her salary deducted!
Zhou Mengmeng quickly ran into the living room, only to find Jing Muchen already sitting at the dining table, starting to eat. The food was prepared by other servants in the house.
Zhou Mengmeng walked over embarrassedly. Jing Muchen had placed a portion for her opposite, but she was too embarrassed to sit down and eat because she hadn't even completed the most basic work, so how could she have the face to eat!
"You still have ten minutes. We will set off in ten minutes." Jing Muchen said lightly.
When Zhou Mengmeng heard this, she was so scared that she quickly sat down and started eating. From time to time, she would steal a glance at Jing Muchen because he had said a lot of his true feelings last night. Zhou Mengmeng kept stealing glances at him and felt that he was nothing like he was last night.
He looks normal now, cold and superior, even the way he eats is different from others, but he was very fragile last night, which made people feel distressed.
"What's wrong? Can't you eat?" Jing Muchen said lightly. He knew that Zhou Mengmeng was secretly looking at him.
"No, no." Zhou Mengmeng quickly shook her head and continued eating.
Then we went to the company together.
Jiang Xiaorou had arrived first. When she saw her master and Zhou Mengmeng coming in, she hurried over.
"Master, shall we go there now?" Jiang Xiaorou.
Jiang Xiaorou was so nervous that she didn't sleep well last night.
"Isn't Chen Yancheng coming with us?" Jing Muchen asked.
Although, he didn’t want Ana Shen to get involved, it would definitely be awkward for the three of them to go together.
"I haven't told him yet. This matter is uncertain to begin with. If he finds out that we have come up empty-handed, it will only make him worried. Let's do this for now! Let's go and see the situation first." Jiang Xiaorou said.
Jing Muchen understood what Xiaorou meant. She was indeed one with Shen Yancheng now. She always thought about him and cared about his feelings.
"Okay." Jing Muchen nodded.
He went out with Jiang Xiaorou without bringing Zhou Mengmeng. There was no need to let more people know about this.
