Qin Muyan couldn't bear to see Zhan Sichen so tired. She wanted him to have a good sleep, but Zhan Sichen said they should eat first, so Qin Muyan obeyed him and accompanied him to eat first.

During the meal, neither of them communicated with each other. They just lowered their heads and ate their own meals, but in the end, neither of them ate much.

"Chu Xi, if you're not feeling well, go and rest early. I'll go take a shower."

"Okay." Qin Muyan responded lightly.

After that, Zhan Sichen went to the bathroom, and Qin Muyan returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

Maybe she was just overthinking it. She was really scared now. She was afraid that when Zhan Sichen saw her in the future, he would not be able to help but think of the death of Old Madam Zhan.

Just like now when he said he was going to take a shower, it was actually a way of escaping from her. An hour passed and Zhan Sichen still didn't return to the bedroom from the bathroom.

At this moment, Zhan Sichen was lying completely powerless in the bathtub. The water in the bathtub was already cold. Qin Muyan was right. He really didn't know how to face her now.

He also knew that it was not Qin Muyan's fault. If he were in her shoes, he would probably have made the same decision, but this was the result.

About an hour later, Qin Muyan heard footsteps outside the door and quickly closed her eyes pretending to be asleep. Zhan Sichen pushed the door open quietly, then got on the bed and lay down beside her.

Normally he would naturally hug her body and let her rest her head on his arms, but this time he didn't. He just lay beside her and closed his eyes.

In fact, Qin Muyan also knew that Zhan Sichen would never fall asleep, and she didn't know what to say at the moment. So, in the same room and on the same bed, the couple were both pretending to be asleep.

The three little ones were really exhausted after the day. After being taken back by Ou Xiangbei, they were so tired that they didn't even take off their clothes and fell asleep directly on the bed.

Bai Yanxin took off Xiaobai's clothes, Ou Xiangbei took off Junlin and Dabai's clothes, and covered them with quilts. The three little ones all slept soundly.

"Why didn't President Zhan take these three little guys home, but asked you to bring them here?" Bai Yan asked in confusion.

"I don't know either. Maybe he wanted to talk to Chu Xi alone, or maybe... he was afraid that the two of them would quarrel and affect the child."

"Will they really quarrel again?" Bai Yanxin asked worriedly.

"It's common for couples to quarrel, but the most terrifying thing is when there's nothing to quarrel about and nothing to talk about," said Ou Xiangbei.

Bai Yanxin let out a long sigh of worry when she heard this: "Mu Yan and President Zhan finally got together after so much effort. I hope this conflict can be resolved soon."

"Of course, any couple will have their ups and downs in their relationship." Ou Xiangbei looked at Bai Yanxin and smiled thankfully, "Just like us, we missed each other for ten years, but we are still together now. Their little conflict is even less of a problem, and it will be resolved soon."

"Yes." Bai Yanxin also nodded confidently, "I believe it will be fine soon. I will persuade Mu Yan more, and you should persuade President Zhan more."

"Okay." Ou Xiangbei said to Bai Yanxin very gently, "It's getting late, go to bed quickly."

Neither Zhan Sichen nor Qin Muyan actually slept much last night. The next morning, Qin Muyan still felt dizzy and bloated.

"If you don't feel well, don't go to the company." Zhan Sichen said.

"Then I won't go to the company today. Can I stay at home with you?" Qin Muyan asked.

"Okay, then don't go."

"You must have been exhausted yesterday. How are you feeling now?" Qin Muyan asked with concern.

"It's okay." Zhan Sichen said.

"Due to your physical condition, you must get more rest. You haven't had enough rest these two days. How about we take a nap?" Qin Muyan asked.

"Yeah." Zhan Sichen responded lightly.

Seeing that he agreed, Qin Muyan took the initiative to move over and lean into his arms this time, and Zhan Sichen also stretched out his arms and hugged her.

Now that he can still do this action, Qin Muyan couldn't help but smile, and still felt warm in her heart.

I really didn’t sleep well last night. Now lying in Zhan Sichen’s arms, I fell asleep quickly and slept very soundly until the phone rang.

Qin Muyan slowly opened her eyes and grabbed the phone. The screen showed that it was Jin Linfeng calling.

Now seeing Jin Linfeng's call, Qin Muyan was still a little scared. She looked at Zhan Sichen first, and Zhan Sichen nodded before Qin Muyan picked up the phone.

"Hey, Brother Jin."

"Sister-in-law, this is what's going on. The case is about to be closed, and we need you to come over and take another statement."

Do you have to take another statement? There is no other way. Although she doesn't want to, if this is the procedure, she can only obey.

Zhan Sichen took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Qin Muyan, saying, "This is the statement made by the two eyewitnesses I found at the time. Take a look. If it matches their statements, everything will be fine."

Qin Muyan took a look and they said they saw her arguing with Old Madam Zhan at the stairs, and then there was some physical conflict.

When the two were arguing emotionally, Madam Zhan was about to attack her, but Qin Muyan dodged, and Madam Zhan lost weight and rolled down the stairs.

Seeing that Qin Muyan had finished reading the confession, Zhan Sichen said, "Chu Xi, I know you hate her. You said that she planned to kidnap you. I hope..."

"I understand." Qin Muyan certainly understood what he meant. "The person is gone now. I won't tell anyone about the kidnapping, nor will I damage the reputation of the Zhan family. Don't worry."

"Thank you."

Before, when Zhan Sichen quarreled with her, the questions he asked her did not hurt her heart, but now, the word "thank you" he said seemed to hurt her heart all of a sudden.

"I'll go with you." Zhan Sichen said afterwards.

"Okay." Qin Muyan nodded.

Afterwards, Zhan Sichen accompanied Qin Muyan to the police station to record the statement. After the record was completed, Jin Linfeng smiled and said to them:

"Okay, the transcript has been taken. This time, my sister-in-law is in much better condition than last time, and she described the situation much more smoothly, just like reciting lines, very smoothly."

Of course they knew that Jin Linfeng was not someone who could be easily fooled, and he turned a blind eye to this matter.

But, he must have been half-believing and half-doubting, right? Maybe he thought she was guilty of manslaughter and was trying to evade legal responsibility.

But she wasn't. Of course, no matter what these people thought, the case was closed and no one would ask her about it again.
