"Zhuang Momo, where did you find all this?"

"In your heart, do I have such a wretched image?"

For the first time, Xu Liancheng felt pain in his liver. He knew that it was very difficult for her to accept a stranger so quickly and be willing to give birth to his child. However, he was really uncomfortable being suspected like this.

Zhuang Momo pondered for a moment and looked at him bitterly. "I didn't see through it. It was you who told me. The people around you, except for Grandma, all remind me of how good and deep your relationship with another woman is."

"I and her..."

"President, your phone is ringing," Bill swore that he really did not want to join this battlefield without smoke, but that Miss Ouyang seemed to have something urgent. He hung one and then she called another one.

Then, she sent a message directly. It seemed that something really happened this time.

The familiar name was too dazzling. Zhuang Momo no longer had the patience to listen to his explanation. She knew that her marriage was just a deal for the sake of the child, but she did not want anything from him. She just wanted peace of mind.

"I want to get off the car."

The fire in her eyes gradually extinguished and she pulled back to the door.

"Where are you going?" Xu Liancheng held his phone as if he was holding a hot potato.

He subconsciously did not want her to leave, but...

"Liancheng, save me! Save me!" The woman's hysterical screams filled the entire car.

Xu Liancheng was even more irritated. He lowered his head and glanced at the screen. It was indeed Ouyang Qianqian's face, but the background was not the hotel he was familiar with. It was dark and gloomy, and there was a dark shadow cave. She seemed to have been kidnapped.

As if to verify his thoughts, the phone rang again.

This time, Xu Liancheng pressed the answer button.

Then, the man's hoarse laughter rang out in the entire car. "Hey, hey, hey? Is it Mr. Xu? Your little lover is in my hands. Of course, I know you are not to be trifled with, so I don't want too much. What do you think about paying twenty million for my brothers' hard work?"

"Oh, pay in US dollars, not RMB!"

"Liancheng... Save me... Lian..."

'"Beep! Beep! Beep!" The phone was cut off, and the atmosphere in the car was even more strange.

As he was looking at Zhuang Momo who was right in front of him, a complicated look flashed in Xu Liancheng's eyes. He waved his hand weakly.

"Then I hope that you can save your beauty soon." Zhuang Momo said with a smile.

"Don't worry about it."

Xu Liancheng suppressed his anger and replied. As he watched Zhuang Momo get out of the car, he could not help but add, "Don't forget your identity, Miss Zhuang."

"Identity?" She thought to herself.

"What identity? Mrs. Xu, who was laughed at by others?"

Zhuang Momo pulled up the corners of her mouth in self-mockery and quickly walked into the night.

"Young Master... Do you want to?" The masked Bill asked.

"There's no need. She's an adult. Can she still be lost?"

"Yes."

Ten minutes later, Xu Liancheng's car stopped again. Bill helplessly got out of the car, took out his mobile phone, and began to search for Zhuang Momo's location.

"Heh, a man?"

"He will have no IQ once falling in love."

...

Zhuang Momo did not go home directly. She had told her son that she would go back very late today. It was only 9 o'clock and Bixi had not slept yet. He would definitely ask her what had happened.

She asked herself that she was not a qualified mother, but she would work hard to learn. The child was already mentally injured, and she could no longer bring negative emotions to him.

But she couldn't drink.

She thought of the last time she drank alcohol and had an illusion.

Zhuang Momo wandered around aimlessly, then entered a bookstore that did not close for 24 hours. She ordered a cup of milk tea and drank it slowly.

She didn't know if it was because she had something on her mind, but she tasted a mouthful of bitterness in the fragrant milk tea.

Just then, her cell phone vibrated.

A familiar number...

Qian Lingyou...

[Looking Up]. There were only two words in the text message.

Zhuang Momo looked up and saw a handsome figure behind the bookshelf.

In just a short while, Qian Lingyou had changed into a new set of clothes. His black shirt was tied to the second button, revealing his sexy collarbone.

He held a milk tea of the same style as Zhuang Momo in his hand, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose. Six words immediately appeared in Zhuang Momo's brain—dashing (a beast in human clothing).

In a daze, he was already sitting opposite her with a cup of milk tea in his hands.

Because of his amazing looks and noble and refined temperament, countless pairs of curious eyes fell on him.

Zhuang Momo was very tired. In fact, she just wanted to stay quiet for a while.

But it was not easy to get rid of one, and the other one that she could not afford to offend appeared.

However, she could not say anything.

"Are you hungry? Would you like to go out for a midnight snack?"

"The shop we've had a meal together. They have your favorite grilled pork trotter."

He looked at her with a gentle smile. Zhuang Momo vaguely felt that there seemed to be nine long tails growing out of his back, just like a fox spirit preparing to eat a scholar in a story.

"Why are you here?"

"Following me again?"

Zhuang Momo stood up with a headache and put down her book. Then, they walked out of the bookstore side by side.

"No, I'm here to get something. My grandmother is about to celebrate her birthday. She likes painting and calligraphy, so I asked someone to buy a copy of a famous artist. The previous collector is the curator here, so I specially came to get it."

"As for meeting you, it was probably an unexpected surprise?"

It began to rain outside the window. Qian Lingyou raised the not-so-big umbrella.

He tried to keep a safe distance from Zhuang Momo and tilted the umbrella above her head, but soon his shoulder was drenched.

Noticing the abnormality, Zhuang Momo took the initiative to lean toward the man. As he walked, he inadvertently touched her hand. It felt as warm and soft as he had imagined.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the small street behind the library. The Northeast Barbecue Shop, which had been open for more than ten years, was still flourishing with business.

Zhuang Momo remembered that this person had mysophobia, so she took the initiative to take out a wet towel from her pocket and wiped the table and chairs. Only then did she invite him to sit down.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Same as usual." Qian Lingyou replied gently.

Without waiting for Zhuang Momo to speak again, he directly called the boss over and ordered the three most favorite foods of Zhuang Momo, namely, spicy shrimp tail, grilled pig trotters, garlic razor clam, and two bottles of pineapple beer.

"You still remember."

She stared blankly as he ordered her favorite food at an extremely fast speed. Her eyes couldn't help but feel a little sore. She was used to giving. In fact, she wasn't afraid that others would treat her badly. In any case, no matter how bitter the time was, she had already endured it.

But she was afraid that if others treated her well, she would panic and be nervous.

She didn't know how to repay them.

Zhuang Fugui and Jia Yuewen had taught her since she was a child. Since she was the eldest child of the family, she had to give everything to her sister. As an elder sister, she had to take responsibility and work hard for the family. However, her parents forgot that she was actually a little princess who needed to be doted on.

"Yes..."

"I remember everything about you."

"The boss just said that he hasn't seen us for a few years. It's rare to see a long-term couple like us." Qian Lingyou said with a smile. He naturally opened the sealed packaging of the tableware in front of Zhuang Momo and washed it.

Zhuang Momo was stunned. "Ah?"

"Then what did you say?"

"I said that we are going to get married soon. When the time comes, I'll send him an invitation. He was very happy and then decided to send us a plate of clam with vermicelli." Qian Lingyou replied.

"..."

"No. Who wants to marry you? Senior, how can you make such a joke?" Zhuang Momo's face turned red under the gaze of the enthusiastic boss. Her already thick eyelashes were stained with a few drops of tears because of her anxiety. Qian Lingyou could no longer look away.

"Momo, don't get excited."

"This is just my idea, but for the matter of marriage, of course, I have to ask for your consent."

Qian Lingyou quickly explained. He took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.

This was his habit. He would definitely bring a few handkerchiefs when he went out.

It had not been of much use before, but now it could finally be sent out.

"Senior, I am still Xu Liancheng's wife. We have already gotten our certificate."

"I know that senior is kind to me, but I really can't listen to what you are saying now, and I can't accept it." Zhuang Momo felt that she had to show her attitude, and she had to be very determined.

Otherwise, without waiting for Xu Liancheng to settle accounts with her, her own conscience would not be able to go through that hurdle.

"But Momo, are you really going to live with him?"

"Or should I put it in another way? Do you think he will be your husband for the rest of his life?"

"Moreover, where is he now? If I haven't lost my memory, you two must have left together just now, right? Why are you drinking milk tea in the bookstore alone? Don't tell me that you came to the bookstore on a whim. You came to the bookstore in the middle of the night because you couldn't sleep. Zhuang Momo, I have known you for so many years. Do you think I don't know your character?"

As he spoke, Qian Lingyou also had some temper.

From a young age, his strict upbringing and emotional management courses allowed him to remain calm in everything except for Zhuang Momo. He had lived for 20 years and had never met a clean and pure girl like her.

This time, no matter what, he would not miss her again.

"He... He left because he had something urgent to do." Zhuang Momo explained.

"Is that so? It must be because of Ouyang Qianqian again."

"How did you know?" Zhuang Momo widened her eyes in surprise. When she reacted, she suddenly felt that she was really quite stupid. She actually expressed her inner emotions accidentally.

"This is not a rare thing. Momo, do you believe that I know more about Xu Liancheng than you do?" Qian Lingyou gave a self-deprecating laugh. Then, he picked up his pineapple beer and began to talk about the love history of his love rival over the years.

In the beginning, Bill, who had been hiding among a group of people to collect information and do part-time protection, thought that this guy was going to slander his own boss, but as he listened, he could only secretly send a text message to Xu Liancheng.

[Boss, you really can't blame Madam for being angry. It was you who was seeking death back then!]

Although he also disliked this pretty boy, the things that Qian Lingyou said were all facts.

For example, when Ouyang Qianqian got a little cold, Xu Liancheng would bring a convoy of doctors.

For example, Ouyang Qianqian said that she was afraid that no one would attend her concert, so he sent three concert tickets to everyone in the company.

Bill thought to himself, "He is simply raising Ouyang Qianqian as a daughter."
