After a while, Mu Nuannuan slowly said: "Do you think this is possible?"
Shen Liang was silent for a moment: "I... think it's not impossible..."
—It’s not impossible.
However, this possibility is just Shen Liang's guess.
During the period after she broke up with Mu Tingxiao, Mu Nuannuan repeatedly held a glimmer of hope, and then despaired.
She never wanted to make baseless guesses about Mu Tingxiao's thoughts again.
That would be too tiring.
"Did you know? I was also in the Mu Building when the fire broke out."
Mu Nuannuan paused, and Shen Liang did not interrupt. She knew that Mu Nuannuan had not finished speaking.
"When everyone was running for their lives, I thought that he and Mu Mu were still in the office, so I went upstairs to find him. When I met him in the corridor, he left me and left."
And that was not the first time that Mu Tingxiao left her behind.
When Mu Nuannuan told this, her tone was very calm, as calm as if she was talking about other people's affairs.
After hearing this, Shen Liang still didn't believe it: "Is the big boss really like this?"
"Yeah." Mu Nuannuan responded and sighed slightly.
Shen Liang didn't know what to say to comfort Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan directly changed the topic: "I'm still washing the dishes, Mumu will wake up later."
"You go about your business first. Goodbye!"
Shen Liang hung up the phone, feeling a little uncomfortable, so he picked up the phone and called Gu Zhiyan.
Gu Zhiyan always answered Shen Liang's calls very quickly, as if he was always on time.
The phone was connected, there was only one ring, and Gu Zhiyan answered the phone.
"Shen Xiaoliang, your young master is in a meeting, what are you doing?" When Gu Zhiyan was talking to her, he acted like he was not serious.
Shen Liang has long been accustomed to it: "If you answer the phone during a meeting, I'll hang up."
"Hey, wait..." Gu Zhiyan shouted on the other end of the phone, preventing Shen Liang from hanging up: "Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why hang up the phone?"
It was impossible for Shen Liang to call him when he was fine. Even so, he was very happy to receive a call from Shen Liang.
Shen Liang said directly: "See you at Jinding tonight."
"Okay." Gu Zhiyan agreed directly without asking what she wanted to do.
…
After Mu Nuannuan hung up the phone, she thought about what Shen Liang said again.
In fact, Shen Liang's words are not unreasonable.
For an unfettered person like Qi Cheng, being her bodyguard was indeed a humiliation.
However, it would be even more impossible for her to believe that Mu Tingxiao asked Qi Cheng to come.
After experiencing despair again and again, Mu Nuannuan will no longer allow herself to have unnecessary illusions about Mu Tingxiao.
However, she felt that it was still necessary to test Qicheng again.
Mu Nuannuan made up her mind and decided to cook dinner for Qi Cheng in the evening.
In the evening, she prepared the ingredients and knocked on Qi Cheng's door.
Qi Cheng didn't know what he was doing at home. He was still wearing a heavy coat. It didn't look like he had been staying at home, but rather like he had just come back from outside.
Seeing that Mu Nuannuan kept looking at him and said nothing, Qi Cheng took the lead and said, "Miss Mu, are you okay?"
"Thank you for sending me the potted plants. I would like to invite you to my house for dinner." Mu Nuannuan curled her lips slightly to make herself appear upright and sincere.
Qi Cheng refused without even thinking: "No, I won't go."
Refusing to be so straightforward can directly filter out the statement that Qi Cheng wants to pursue her.
"You're welcome. You brought me food and sent me to Mu's. I'm very grateful. You will make me feel indebted." After Mu Nuannuan finished speaking, she looked back at her door: "Please give me an hour Come here later.”
"Mu..."
As soon as Qi Cheng spoke, Mu Nuannuan turned around and left, pretending not to hear what he was about to say and not giving him any chance to speak.
Qi Cheng stopped talking, stared at Mu Nuannuan's back for two seconds, frowned, closed the door, and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
After Mu Nuannuan returned home, she started cooking.
Mu Mu's interest in cartoons is decreasing day by day. Except for two cartoons about fighting and killing for justice, she doesn't like other cartoons that little girls like to watch.
When Mu Nuannuan's husband was cooking, she leaned over to cook with Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan gave her a piece of corn and asked her to shell it.
Mu Mu obediently went to the side to peel the corn. When Mu Nuannuan finished frying the two dishes and turned back, Mu Mu had almost peeled a stick of waxy corn, and it was very neat.
Mu Nuannuan discovered that although Mu Mu was not as lively as before, he seemed to be smarter than before.
Mu Mu was smart before, but that was just the smartness of an ordinary child. But now, Mu Mu is smarter than other children of the same age.
Maybe Mu Nuannuan stared at her for too long, Mu Mu raised his head and looked at her: "Mom, are you making corn?"
"Yes, we will use it soon." Mu Nuannuan came back to her senses and looked at Mu Mu with a smile.
Mu Mu peeled off the few remaining corn kernels on the cob, and carefully picked out the corn beard mixed in the corn kernels, and then handed it to Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan took it and said, "Thank you, Mumu."
"You're welcome." Mu Mu stood up and looked up to see how Mu Nuannuan cooked.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Mu Mu pointed in the direction of the door and said to Mu Nuannuan, "There's someone knocking on the door."
"I'll open the door first." Mu Nuannuan washed her hands and turned to open the door.
The visitor is none other than Qicheng.
Mu Nuannuan opened the door and stood aside: "Here, come in."
Qi Cheng walked in expressionlessly, looking very reluctant.
Mu Nuannuan saw his expression in her eyes and didn't say much.
Mu Mu walked out and took a look at Qi Cheng.
She wasn't very familiar with Qi Cheng, so this glance took a little long.
Qi Cheng took out a rag doll from behind and handed it to Mu Mu: "It's for you."
Mu Mu blinked and looked at Qi Cheng, then looked at the doll in Qi Cheng's hand and said, "What a cute doll."
Then he reached out and took it.
Seeing this, Mu Nuannuan said, "Sit down first, return one dish and then you can eat."
Qi Cheng nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down, still looking expressionless.
After Mu Nuannuan entered the kitchen, she found that Mu Mu had not followed.
She glanced outside and saw Mu Mu also sitting down on the sofa, sitting right next to Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng is a big one, while Mu Mu is a small one, and the picture is inexplicably cute.
Mu Mu likes Qi Cheng
This made Mu Nuannuan feel a little novel. The sound of oil jumping in the pot brought her back to her thoughts, and she turned around and continued cooking.
In the living room, Mu Mu played with the rag doll in his hand, turned his head to look at Qi Cheng, and asked in a sweet voice, "This doll was taken from my house."
Hearing this, Qi Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her.
Mu Mu added: "Dad bought this."
