Xia Xiaomu saw Xie Wen driving into the garage, and wanted to go over to say hello and thank her.

After all, if it weren't for Xie Wen, Xia Qianbai's art exhibition would not have been able to go ahead at all, let alone the harvest he has achieved today.

He hesitated for a while, looked at the time and felt that it was too late, and now he knocked on the door to disturb her work and rest.And since it's a thank you, it should be more formal.

Or go buy a gift tomorrow, then call Professor Xie to make an appointment.

He thanked Aunt Wang goodbye and went home with the lunch box: "Dad, quickly try Aunt Wang's cooking. It's really good. I've gained weight after eating her cooking."

Xia Qianbai had also been waiting for him to come back, and asked him, "Auntie from Jing Han's family? She treats you very well."

"Yes."

Xia Xiaomu put the two lunch boxes in front of Xia Qianbai, and said, "By the way, I saw Professor Xie just now. She should have just returned from school."

With a snap, Xia Qianbai's chopsticks fell to the ground.

He hurriedly bent down to pick it up: "No, it's okay, let go... Her, does she come back at this time every day?"

Xia Xiaomu saw that his expression was wrong, and with the fact that Xie Wen was in front of her a few times, Xia Xiaomu's doubts deepened. "Dad, have you known each other for a long time?"

Xia Qianbai didn't eat any more, his hands under the table trembled slightly: "...Yes, we have known each other for a long time."

During this period of time, I kept hearing from Xia Xiaomu that Xie Wen helped him several times, and that this art exhibition was also thanks to her, so she probably knew Xia Xiaomu's identity.

He looked at Xia Xiaomu, who was eating deliciously, and was extremely hesitant: Do you want to tell Mu Mu?

But what is Xie Wen's attitude?

Does she want to recognize Mu Mu back?

After so many years, has she dated anyone?Any new family, kids?

Will telling the story of the year disturb her life?

Even if the person who has been missed every day for 20 years is so close now, Xia Qianbai still dare not ask, for fear of making her unhappy and causing her trouble, after all no one knows their past.

She is a proud princess, she is as humble as dust, she is lucky, but she has caused great harm to her, and even took away her Mu Mu...

Now it's even more... I don't even have the qualifications to look up to her.

Xia Qianbai watched Xia Xiaomu open his mouth, and finally swallowed the words back.

Mu Mu said that Xie Wen took good care of him, and this art exhibition is also thanks to her.Xie Wen was so active in helping Mu Mu, but Xia Qianbai still didn't dare to expect extravagantly, didn't even dare to think about it, and could only passively wait for her response.

Anyway... she can do whatever she wants.

"Dad? What do you want to say?"

Xia Qianbai looked at Xia Xiaomu, and said slowly: "Yes... I want to thank her. When you see her again, ask her what she wants? Then tell her, she can do whatever she wants."

Naturally, Xia Xiaomu couldn't understand what Xia Qianbai meant, so she questioned, "But, would it be impolite to ask her directly what she wants?"

Xia Qianbai: "It's okay, she will understand."

After taking a shower and going to bed, Xia Xiaomu realized how uncomfortable it was belatedly.

--- There is a missing pillow on the bed.

Lie left and right, tossing and turning uncomfortable.

Taking a deep breath as before, I can't smell Lu Jinghan at all.

Xia Xiaomu sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, feeling lost.

...I think about Brother Jing Han, especially.

Just now when Aunt Wang was delivering the food, she said that brother Jing Han had gone out again, where is he going when he leaves the house so late?Socializing, meeting friends, going to nightclubs.

I met Lu Jinghan at the night show at Ning Ning's concert before.

What would Brother Jing Han do if he went to a place like the night market?

The more Xia Xiaomu thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She obviously didn't feel this way when she lived together, but she suddenly lost her sense of security when she left.

For a long time, Xia Xiaomu picked up her phone, ready to ask directly.

After all, it was agreed last time, don't hide anything in your heart, don't hold back any doubts, just ask if you want.

--Brother Jinghan, where are you?

In less than a minute, Lu Jinghan called in: "Xiao Mu, are you still asleep?"

A deep, hoarse and soft voice came through the microphone, and Xia Xiaomu's feeling of uneasiness disappeared in an instant.

He got under the quilt and replied softly, "No?"

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

"...No, I just don't get used to it... I accept the bed."

Xia Xiaomu wanted to say that he missed him, but then remembered that Lu Jinghan didn't sleep much at all last night, so he couldn't say some willful words to disturb his rest.

He asked again, "Where are you?"

"Take care of something in the company."

"It's so late, you're still at work, why don't you go home and sleep?"

Lu Jinghan smiled wryly: "Go back when you're done."

It was also the first time he discovered that he was so emotional and hypocritical.When I went home today and saw Xia Xiaomu's empty room, I felt inexplicably sad and lonely.

Anyway, I can't sleep at home, so it's better to be busy with work and numb myself.

"By the way, I found out some things about Zhou Tingsheng. He has done this kind of thing more than once. He used his students' completed papers to publish under his own name, and used his apprentice's works to be exhibited and auctioned under his own name.

But it takes time to collect witnesses and evidence, and there is no evidence that he used Uncle Xia's works. "

Xia Xiaomu's face turned pale with anger, he sat up straight, and his voice was full of anger: "Don't he know how to be ashamed of stealing other people's achievements? Has he ever thought about the consequences of his students' hard work being stolen like this?" Unwilling!"

Because of Xia Qianbai's persuasion, Xia Xiaomu still thought about it and let it go.

But when he heard that he had done such an outrageous thing, after what happened to him, he didn't want to let him go at all.

Since this kind of person can use his status and status to steal the achievements of others, he will definitely do more excessive things.Never let him go.

Lu Jinghan: "Don't be angry, give me some more time, I'll ask someone to continue the investigation."

Xia Xiaomu: "Then, be careful, don't let him find out."

Lu Jinghan smiled softly: "Even if he finds out, what can he do to me?"

Lu Jinghan was different from those students who were being used, and Xia Qianbai.

With Lu Jinghan's status as the son of a wealthy family, power, power and ability, coupled with his extensive connections, he could cause an uproar if he used it casually.

But no matter how powerful Zhou Tingsheng is, he is only limited to the academic and painting circles, and cannot be compared with Brother Jing Han at all.

Xia Xiaomu gained the confidence to rely on, he said: "Brother Jing Han, I don't want to forgive him."

"I know, it may take some time, but I will definitely give you an explanation."

"...Well. Brother Jinghan, it's good to have you here."

Xia Xiaomu's voice was muffled.

Lu Jinghan said in a low voice, "Me too."

The same voice rang in his ears, but there was no biting, no gentle touch, no loving kiss.

Xia Xiaomu still wanted to hear his voice, to hear him say some soft love words, but she was afraid that it would affect his work, so she hung up the phone full of melancholy.

He reached for the other pillow in his arms, looking for comfort.

When he woke up in the morning, he was used to curling up and rubbing against the blanket on one side. After rubbing for a long time, he didn't rub anyone.

Open your eyes and see: empty bed, brand new room.

After a while, he reacted.

...moved, no more pillows.

Xia Xiaomu, who was in a low mood, stared blankly in the mirror and brushed his teeth, with the expression on his face - dissatisfaction with desire.

~~~

Early in the morning, Aunt Wang came to bring him breakfast again.

It turned out that she had prepared the ingredients for baking bread last night.I got up early and baked a basket of hot, fragrant buns, but Lu Jinghan was not at home in the morning, and Jingyi got up late, and followed Li Hai to school without eating.

She couldn't finish it by herself, so she just sent it to Xiao Mu.

Xie Wen got out of the car and was about to go to school, when she saw the woman last night, she was calling at the door of Xiao Mu's house, with a bamboo basket in her hand.

An uncomfortable feeling immediately rose in my heart, and I stopped the car instinctively.However, sitting in the car, I began to feel at a loss, not knowing what to do.

When she saw Xia Xiaomu running out of the house, she opened the car door uncontrollably and stood up.

Xia Xiaomu shouted happily: "Aunt Wang! What delicious food did you cook?"

Aunt Wang handed him the bamboo basket: "Xiao Mu, have you had breakfast yet? This is the bread I baked. While it's still hot, go home and taste it with Mr. Xia."

"Yeah, thank you, Aunt Wang."

"Do you still have the same appetite as Mr. Xia's food last night?"

Xia Xiaomu smiled brightly and beautifully with crooked eyes: "Of course, Aunt Wang's cooking is the best. My dad is already full? He also told me to thank Aunt Wang very much."

Aunt Wang: "That's good, that's good, I'll give you whatever I make in the future."

Xie Wen took a deep breath not far away, turned around and was about to get in the car to leave again. Xia Xiaomu found her and ran towards her.

"Professor Xie, can I spare you a few minutes?"

Xie Wen looked at Aunt Wang who was leaving, and nodded: "... yes."

Xia Xiaomu said seriously: "My dad and I's art exhibition went very smoothly, and the harvest was great. Even "Chasing" was auctioned, all thanks to your help. So my dad and I would like to thank you."

"And..."

Xia Xiaomu thought it was impolite to ask such a question, but Xia Qianbai let him ask it.

He looked at Xie Wen and said tentatively: "...my dad asked me to ask you what you want, and he said, you can do whatever you want."

Xie Wen didn't answer and looked at Xia Xiaomu in a daze.

Xia Xiaomu thought he was upset, so she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Professor Xie, don't be angry. My dad may just want to thank you, but he doesn't know how to thank you."

Xie Wen looked down at the basket in Xia Xiaomu's hand, paused, and asked, "Your dad, can he cook? Then he treats me to a meal?"

"Ah? This..."

Please have a meal?

It's more than normal for ordinary people.

However, Xia Qianbai is different.

Xia Xiaomu was a little puzzled, could Xia Qianbai entertain people, then thought about what Xia Qianbai said, Xie Wen could do whatever she wanted, he nodded hesitantly.

"Then I'll go back and ask him, it should be fine."

After returning home, he immediately ran to the third floor to tell Xia Qianbai the news.

Xia Qianbai was drawing a picture, and was slightly taken aback when he heard what he said.

Throwing away the paintbrush and walking downstairs, the voice was trembling with excitement: "...Okay, I'll do it now."

"Dad, Professor Xie is going to school now, and he probably won't be back until the afternoon. And..."

Xia Xiaomu was surprised: "I really just cook her a meal. Let's eat together at night? Or what should I do?"

Xia Qianbai hesitated for a long time: "...I'll do it well, you can send it to her, it should be fine."

Facing Xie Wen, he still didn't have the courage.

Send it over, it seems not very good.

Xia Xiaomu asked: "Or if you do well, I'll call her over and I'll eat with her?"

"……it is good."

Xia Qianbai nodded, and went to the kitchen: "I'll think about what to cook first, and if I prepare any ingredients, you can buy them for me."

Xia Xiaomu was helpless: I only come to eat at night, so you are too early to prepare.
