Chapter 403

Since returning from Z City, she had been living in the newly purchased house with her parents. Although it was a second-hand property, the building wasn't old, the layout was good, and the surrounding environment was excellent; both her parents and she felt it was quite good. Furthermore, her mother loved flowers and was skilled at flower arranging, and her father decided to take the remaining savings to rent a storefront and open a flower shop. The two of them would manage it well; they didn't ask to make a lot of money, just enough to get by.

A new home, new neighbors, even the roads she walked every day felt brand new. Even though it was still mid-winter, she felt as if she could smell the fragrance of flowers everywhere, as if it were spring.

Walking on the street, people would occasionally look at her, stunned, their eyes widening in surprise or confusion. If she saw them, she would smile in response, and most of the time, the other party would also nod with a smile; they wouldn't rush up for autographs or photos like the legendary star-struck fans. She wasn't really a star anyway; she had just participated in a competition and appeared on TV a few times, that was all.

The gazes of the crowd still made her body feel hot, but gradually, she became more and more accustomed to it, no longer finding it as unbearable or painful as in the past. One thing to thank for this was the cell phone; nowadays, whether standing, sitting, or walking, a significant portion of people were looking down at their phones. Once, on the subway, she entered the station and stood with a girl for over half an hour. When it was time to get off, the girl looked at her, recognized her, and went "Ah, ah" for a long time, leaving her not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Pushing open the door to the ward, the bed was empty, but she saw Ji Jie rise from the sofa and walk toward her.

"You're here? Have you eaten?" He Lele asked.

"Mm. How have things been at home these past few days?" Ji Jie picked up a strand of her long hair and twisted it between his fingers, looking very attached.

"Pretty good. How about you guys? Are Auntie Wang and Uncle Guan doing well?"

"Auntie Wang and Uncle Guan didn't come over. These past few days, it's been Zhixiu and Li Yiquan in the kitchen."

"I..."

"It's okay, take your time." Lowering his head to kiss her sweet, soft lips, Ji Jie kissed her patiently and meticulously.

"Where's Producer Shentu?"

"... In the garden courtyard. His parents are there too."

Author's Note:

A man who cannot resolve the relationship between his parents/family and his lover is not a good man~~

This group of guys can't be considered good men in the traditional sense, but they are top-tier, and top-tier people have top-tier ways of handling things.

So~ rest assured~~ they won't let Lele face those messy things.

Girls who are reposting this, it's almost over, there aren't many chapters left. Can you wait quietly until it's finished before reposting?

Forgot to mention, if you encounter a fire, you must remember to cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel to prevent thick smoke and toxic gases. It's not that Producer Shentu lacks common sense, but the smoke in the room was too thick for him to see, and he only choked because he kept opening his mouth to call out while searching... (Should I have written this detail in?)

☆, Chapter 331: How Does It Feel

In the rare warm sun of winter, three people—an old, a middle-aged, and a young one—sat side by side on a bench in the garden courtyard of He× Hospital. The young man in a minimalist black overcoat had a deep red scab on his handsome face; it was Producer Seeing Shentu Mo, who had been admitted to the Deep Blue exclusive ward for the second time.

"Old man, what do you think?" asked the elegant, middle-aged woman who looked about forty, clutching the old man's arm.

"Mm... what do you think?" the white-haired old man replied very gently.

"What I think... is quite stupid."

"Mm-hmm." The old man nodded.

Producer Seeing Shentu Mo glanced at the woman without changing his expression.

The woman continued, "I asked that child Qingfeng. That child said, as long as Xiao Mo is willing, she can enter the Producer Shentu family at any time—you brat, come back here!"

Producer Seeing Shentu Mo stopped his steps and turned back to look at the woman, his tightly pressed lips showing no intention of speaking.

The woman stared at him sternly for a good while.

She knew her own son. This son of hers had completely inherited all of his father's advantages in every ability, but at the same time, he was even more indifferent in personality than his father, even more lacking in the emotions that humans should have.

She didn't know if it was her failure in education or if his father's genes were too strong. She only knew that many years ago, she had stopped expecting her son to fall in love and get married like an ordinary young man. So, after several years of searching, she had chosen a suitable daughter-in-law for the Producer Shentu family. She had originally planned to arrange the wedding after the two met and exchanged greetings, but after the girl returned, she told her—

"If I had met your son two months earlier, I think I would indeed have had the chance to call you 'Mother-in-law.' But now, Qingfeng thinks you might as well wait a few more months."

She understood immediately that something had happened with her son. When she called back to the country to ask, she was so angry she almost had a heart attack!

Zhai Feiyun had actually caused a "concubine" blunder, ruining a simple girl and turning her into a plaything for that group of brats!

If she didn't always avoid interfering in her husband's business, she would have long wanted her husband to fire that woman who acted without any bottom line!

Suppressing her anger, she told her husband about it. After a moment of contemplation, her husband said:

"Perhaps, this is not a bad thing."

Because of this sentence, she temporarily dismissed the idea of returning to the country herself and waited a few months as that child "Qingfeng" had said.

She didn't wait in vain.

The development of events was even more absurd than the countless melodramatic movies and TV shows Muse had produced over the years. Mu Wei, Ji Jie, Ruan Lin, Qin Zhixiu—those few troublesome boys had actually fallen in love with that poor little girl as if cursed! And that little girl actually had the ability to make them miraculously coexist peacefully! In the end, her naturally cold-blooded son also... lost his heart.

She didn't know whether to laugh out loud or be extremely anxious!

Her son had a "heart," which was worth celebrating, but... what next?

Just as she was still considering whether to talk to her son, he rushed into a fire that "might have people in it," using the most direct action to tell her plainly—he had already placed that girl's joys and sorrows above his own life.
