Chapter 654

Shu Xia was stunned for a moment. "I don't think so? I've always been like this. It must be that your palms are too hot; a man's body temperature is higher than a woman's."

Why has he been so obsessed with the temperature of her hands lately?

"Are you... not going to pick up Song Ziqi?" she asked.

Qiao Muting didn't show much expression. "Jiang Tu will pick her up. We are going to Laozhai to see Grandma."

"Oh, okay."

——

Airport.

Song Ziqi looked at the hung-up phone, the color draining from her face.

"Something came up? What could possibly come up for Brother Mu Ting? I've returned; doesn't he want to see me the very first moment?"

She had never intended for Jiang Tu to pick her up.

She only wanted Brother Mu Ting to come.

And then she would have taken the opportunity to go stay at Xinghai Villa.

For these four years, she had been attending university in K City and had never once returned, all because she wanted Qiao Muting to visit her occasionally and let many people in Jing City know that she was different from others in Brother Mu Ting's heart.

She also wanted distance to create beauty, making Brother Mu Ting care about her even more.

But it was definitely not for him to get married without a word and now be so distant from her.

There is even more distance now than there was not long ago in K City.

Her eyes turned red with grievance; even after retrieving her suitcase, she didn't walk out.

In the end, she compromised and called Jiang Tu. "Jiang Tu, I'm back. Can you come to the airport to pick me up?"

Jiang Tu arrived very quickly.

The moment she saw Jiang Tu, Song Ziqi threw herself into his arms, crying. "Jiang Tu, Brother Mu Ting doesn't care about me anymore. I thought he would be very happy to know I was back and would definitely drop everything in his hands to pick me up, but he didn't come."

Jiang Tu's body stiffened for a moment, and he persuaded her as usual: "He must be very busy, so he didn't have time to pick you up. Isn't it the same if I pick you up?"

What exactly is so good about Qiao Muting?

Why does Song Ziqi, knowing it's impossible, still remain so deeply in love as always?

Song Ziqi shook her head while crying. "I am indeed happy that you came to pick me up. But I can't understand why he was so calm after knowing I was back? It's as if my return was just a very ordinary matter, and to him, I am just a person as ordinary as can be. Clearly, before Shu Xia, he was very good to me. Now that he has Shu Xia, he is so cold to me?"

The root of everything is Shu Xia.

The moment she saw Shu Xia in K City, she understood that some things she thought would never change would indeed change.

As it turned out, it was just as she had expected.

Jiang Tu sighed helplessly. "Don't think about these things for now. Thinking too much is useless and will only affect your mood."

"Let me take you to my place first. I'll be staying elsewhere for a while, so you can stay at my house. Your own place is currently being renovated and will be finished soon. Before you move in, I'll have someone handle the formaldehyde."

Song Ziqi nodded gently. "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements."

That was all she could do for now.

After getting into Jiang Tu's car, Song Ziqi suddenly changed her mind. "Can you take me to Laozhai? I want to go see Old Madam Qiao first. I haven't been back for years, and since I'm already back, I should go see Old Madam Qiao first."

Jiang Tu had no objections. "Sure, I'll go see Qiao Nainai too. It's been a while since I've seen the old lady."

"Stop by the mall on the way; let's buy two pieces of jewelry. The old lady likes jewelry," Song Ziqi continued.

From now on, she still had to cater to her preferences.

After picking out jewelry from the mall, the two went to Laozhai.

When the servant led them to Laozhai, they heard bursts of laughter.

The two of them had rarely heard Old Madam Qiao laugh so happily.

Vaguely, they even heard Shu Xia's voice.

Is Shu Xia here too?
