The woman's smile became even brighter. "Hmm? Mr. Chen is here too?"

Chen Xingzhu took a deep breath, and walked in with flowers in his arms. "Well, how do you feel, Ms. Ye?"

Regarding Chen Xingzhu's repeated question, Ye Wenxin smiled and said, "I'm fine. Thank you Mr. Chen for your concern."

Chen Xingzhu replied calmly: "Oh, that's good."

But in fact, Chen Xingzhu was almost panicking. What should I say next? Why am I so nervous? It doesn't make sense! What's going on? Why are they silent? Did I say something wrong?

The screen kept flashing in his mind, and Chen Xingzhu's body became even stiffer.

Since he noticed that Mr. Chen was walking with his legs turned sideways when he entered the door, Qiao Wenzhou had been trying to hold back his smile.

Seeing that Chen Xingzhu was about to cry, Qiao Wenzhou turned to look at his mother, "Those are the flowers that Mr. Chen bought for you. How do you like them?"

After being reminded, Chen Xingzhu also reacted, "Oh, yes, these are flowers I bought for you."

He walked forward and placed the bouquet next to the vase.

Ye Wenxin looked over and smiled, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Her voice was sincere and her smile was sweet, just like the flowers next to her. She was gentle and kind.

For some reason, Chen Xingzhu felt as if a breeze was blowing through him.

His heart, which had been beating wildly due to nervousness, gradually calmed down. He smiled slightly and relaxed a lot. "As long as you like it."

The woman's eyes curved slightly, "Has Mr. Chen eaten yet?"

Chen Xingzhu: "Yeah, I've eaten..."

The topics were ordinary and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. The three people sat on each side and chatted casually.

It feels very comfortable, quiet and relaxing, soft and warm, just like being home.

There is always a smile on the woman's face, and her voice is always gentle and soft.

Chen Xingzhu could tell that she cared a lot about the other person in the room because her eyes always followed that person's figure unconsciously.

Whether sitting or standing, every move of Qiao Wenzhou was watched by a pair of crescent-shaped eyes.

This gaze is not sharp, nor does it have a strong presence. If you don't deliberately track it, it is actually quite difficult to detect, because its intention is not to disturb, but to express warm concern.

so good……

Chen Xingzhu felt truly fortunate that although Qiao Wenzhou's father was not a human, he still had such a good mother.

The day passed quickly, and Chen Xingzhu helped Qiao Wenzhou buy a suit before the mall closed.

In the car, Chen Xingzhu reflected for a moment, "I should go shopping for clothes first today, so I don't have to rush, and I can spend more time with your mother."

But Qiao Wenzhou said, "This is good." He explained, "If I really bought the clothes first and my mother found out, she would definitely scold me."

Chen Xingzhu looked puzzled, "Ah? Really?"

Qiao Wenzhou said seriously, "Yes, she must have taught me not to waste your money." He raised his chin slightly, his face seemed a little proud, "My mother taught me since I was a child not to squander other people's kindness."

Chen Xingzhu rolled his eyes secretly, expressionless, "Then I didn't see you embarrassed just now."

Qiao Wenzhou chuckled, "Then Mr. Chen, you are not an outsider to me either."

"Besides..." he muttered quietly, "you said--"

For some unknown reason, Chen Xingzhu continued with the second half of the sentence, "You have the right to be willful."

"Yes!" Qiao Wenzhou smiled brightly.

Shaking his head, Chen Xingzhu also smiled.

The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, both curved into crescent shapes.

Then, Qiao Wenzhou added: "Besides, she needs to rest. The sooner we leave, the sooner she can rest."

After this explanation, Chen Xingzhu nodded, "Then today's arrangement is indeed quite reasonable."

Qiao Wenzhou praised: "Of course not, who is Mr. Chen, how can his ideas be bad?"

Chen Xingzhu let out a light sigh, "You've even learned how to flatter." But he couldn't conceal the pride in his eyes.

Seeing this, Qiao Wenzhou shook his head and laughed in his heart.

……

The next day, when we were about to set off, Chen Xingzhu: Is it too late for me to regret now?

Ahhhhh! I really don't want to go to the Zhong family!

Help! Can the earth be destroyed today?

Or, who can give him a time machine?

Just let him skip this day! Please!

Wuuuu... Tears were streaming down her face inside, but Chen Xingzhu still had to put on a smile.

Although he really wanted to escape, he had already promised someone that even if a meteor fell to the earth today, he would have to accompany that person to crawl to the Zhong family!

Chen Xingzhu was taking his time to tidy himself up, and there was no life in his eyes.

Next to him, Qiao Wenzhou had already tidied himself up. He looked at Chen Xingzhu who was moving slowly, with a rich color in his eyes that could not be dispelled. Qin Xunwen's smiling voice kept echoing in his mind.

"Little friend, let me give you a friendly message..."

"Does Zhong Qingli know? The second daughter of the Zhong family once had an engagement with Mr. Chen~"

"But it's gone now..."

"I just don't know what Mr. Chen is thinking..."

Back and forth, this sound echoed over and over again.

Suddenly, "Mr. Chen, don't you want to go with me?"

Huh? Chen Xingzhu looked back in surprise, "Why do you think so?"

If I really didn't want to go, I would have given up long ago, okay?

Qiao Wenzhou lowered his eyes, "You... the time is almost up..."

Huh?! Chen Xingzhu quickly looked at the clock on the wall. Oh my god! Only 40 minutes left?

He hurriedly speeded up and apologized, "Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

What are you thinking about? Zhong Qingli? Qiao Wenzhou really didn't want to make such malicious assumptions, but... he just couldn't help it...

Maybe that's what love is like, it makes people blind and jealous.

"What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?" He put on a relaxed look and asked casually.

Chen Xingzhu said casually: "Oh, I was wondering if anyone has invented a time-space shuttle."

Qiao Wenzhou: ??? What???

Chen Xingzhu scratched his head. "If it has been invented, how much is it? I want to buy one."

Qiao Wenzhou: "You want to buy... a time-travel machine?"

He felt that his brain was not enough.

Chen Xingzhu pouted, "Yes, then I can go straight through this day."

Qiao Wenzhou reacted, "You don't want to go to the Zhong family?"

Chen Xingzhu nodded heavily immediately, "Yes, didn't I tell you a long time ago?"

He kept talking, "Hey, if you hadn't said you were scared, I would have pretended to be sick a long time ago."

"I've thought of a reason. I'll say I worked overtime last night and came back late. I was caught in a cold by the cold wind. It's no big deal, but I just don't want to bring the illness with me. Then I'll ask someone to bring a generous gift, and the matter will be over."

As if she had already imagined such a beautiful scene, Chen Xingzhu laughed out loud, "How cool! I don't have to go there, and I can have a good rest for a day. It's so comfortable~~"

Chen Xingzhu didn't laugh for long and soon drooped down. Alas... what a pity, the reason he had thought of was of no use at all.

Chen Xingzhu was very sad, but Qiao Wenzhou was very happy.

"So... you chose to go to the Zhong family because of me?" He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"Yes." Chen Xingzhu blurted out.

So that’s it…Qiao Wenzhou’s mouth corners curled up quickly.

After a pause, Chen Xingzhu turned his head and said, "But don't feel any psychological burden. This is for you, but going to the Zhong family is no big deal."

As if to prove his point, Chen Xingzhu even made a gesture, "Tsk, the small Zhong family can't faze me at all."

He puffed out his chest and said, "I was just complaining casually just now, just listen to it."

"Yes!" Qiao Wenzhou nodded heavily, "I understand!"

It's because of me! It's for me! I know everything!

Chen Xingzhu then turned around and continued buttoning his clothes.

When it came to tying the tie, Chen Xingzhu looked at the two ties in his hands with a conflicted look on his face.

It was a smoky gray pair that matched the suit he was wearing, but he had accidentally spilled coffee on it before, and even after washing it, there was still a slight smell.

The other one is navy blue, which doesn’t match the clothes, but it looks good enough. More importantly, it doesn’t have any strange smell, just the fresh scent left by the laundry detergent.
