Chapter 694

After sweating profusely, both of them were a little hungry.

They didn't say anything while eating.

After they finished eating, Qiao Muting was the first to speak, "Are you curious about where I've been these past few days?"

Shu Xia raised her eyes and looked over, "Didn't you say you had something to take care of?"

"Some people from the Qiao Family have returned, and I went to see them," Qiao Muting said in a deep voice.

Shu Xia had guessed as much, but she still nodded, "Mm, is there anything you need me to do?"

Hua Qian coming to see her today already indicated that her life ahead would likely not be peaceful; of course, Qiao Muting's life would not be peaceful either.

Suddenly thinking of Hua Qian's words, Qiao Muting had someone he kept in his heart...

"Not yet, perhaps in a couple of days I will take you to see them. But you only need to remember that Qiao Nainai is the most important family member to me. As for the others, to me, they are merely so-called relatives who share the same surname; they are not important." When Qiao Muting said these things, his tone was extremely cold.

Shu Xia said "okay."

She and Qiao Muting had one thing in common: the person they cared about was Qiao Nainai. As for her, no matter who else was in the Qiao Family or what those people wanted to do, it had nothing to do with her. Because the one she cared about was Qiao Nainai.

Seeing Shu Xia's gentle expression, Qiao Muting suddenly realized that his aura had been too frigid when he mentioned the Qiao Family members just now.

Perhaps it would scare Shu Xia, or perhaps it would make her misunderstand.

Just as he wanted to explain, Shu Xia had already gone to turn on the television.

She appeared not to have been affected in the slightest.

Qiao Muting then took back the words he was about to say.

He came to the sofa and watched television with Shu Xia.

Although the two sat together, they each had their own thoughts; Shu Xia's eyes were on the television, but her mind had drifted far away.

——

In front of the Huo Family residence.

A car pulled up and stopped.

Jiang Nannan thanked and said goodbye to Sheng An and Liu Hang in the car, "Thank you, Sheng Laoshi, Brother Liu. I'll head in now, see you tomorrow."

Sheng An had an event in the evening that had just ended, and since it was too late, they had the driver drop her off first.

"Stay safe, see you tomorrow," Sheng An nodded faintly.

"Okay! You too!"

Jiang Nannan watched as Sheng An's car drove away.

Only then did she turn and walk toward the Huo Family villa.

Seeing the villa brightly lit, Jiang Nannan knew very well that Huo Jingyan had already returned; he had been coming home these days.

The relationship between the two of them had not eased because they saw each other every day.

There was still more of a polite distance between them.

Jiang Nannan took a deep breath, and after many thoughts swirled in her heart, she lifted her feet and walked inside.

At this moment, a figure stood before the window of the second-floor study, taking in the hesitation Jiang Nannan showed before entering the house.

At the same time, in the car driving along the road, Liu Hang said to Sheng An, "Why did she move back in again? Did she make up with President Huo? No wonder she took the initiative to ask to stop resting and continue working."

After his words fell, he carefully scrutinized the changes in Sheng An's expression.

Seeing that Sheng An's face was slightly cold and he hadn't said a word from just now until now, he had already guessed a few things.

"Looking at this situation, the two of them must have completely made up; otherwise, with Jiang Nannan's temper, it would be impossible for her to move back. However, Jiang Nannan seems like the type of person who can't tolerate any sand in her eyes, yet she could actually forgive President Huo for cheating. Sure enough, love comes first, and marriage is not easy," Liu Hang sighed again.

The implication of his words was that there was nothing left for Sheng An to do.

He should just give up and move on.

Sheng An's eyes turned cold, "There must be a reason for her to go back."

Based on his understanding of Jiang Nannan, once a relationship had a crack, even if someone wanted to use certain methods to repair it, they shouldn't harbor any delusions that it could be restored to how it was before.

A broken mirror is hard to mend; that is definitely not just a saying.
