The next morning, Xu Liancheng accompanied Zhuang Momo to the hospital to visit Old Lady.

Even though he had already been here once yesterday, he still pretended to be very unfamiliar. He talked to Old Lady for a long time in a slightly reserved manner. When he saw the two nutritionists, he deliberately tried to probe Zhuang Momo. Seeing this, the subordinates couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

This was especially so for the masked Bill.

He felt that if this continued, it's just a matter of time before he became schizophrenic.

Who would be jealous of himself every day?

This was really...

However, Zhuang Momo still answered him seriously.

"You're talking about our Boss? He's a workaholic and especially good-looking."

"Good-looking? Isn't that a word for a woman?"

"Zhuang Momo, did you make some shady deal with him behind my back?" Xu Liancheng said in a gloomy voice, trying to force her to tell the truth.

But...

Zhuang Momo just rolled her eyes.

Then she carried her bag and left. Xu Liancheng did not know whether to chase her or not. It was not until Zhuang Momo reached the elevator door that he led his subordinates over.

"Zhuang Momo."

"Don't mess around." There were many people in the elevator. Zhuang Momo decided to listen to her grandmother and save some face for her husband in front of others. She clung to his arm and leaned on his shoulder as if she was coaxing a child. She said softly, "He has a girlfriend."

"Have you met her before?"

"No, but he often gives me presents that his girlfriend doesn't want, which makes me feel like I'm a recycling bin now." Since he had shown his phone to her, she decided to be honest.

Xu Liancheng stared at her quietly and pursed his lips after a while.

"Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"No."

"Then come with me."

Xu Liancheng said as he took out his phone and sent a message to a small chat group of four people.

He felt that it was time for her to enter his real world.

These days, he had been thinking about how Zhuang Momo was different from other women, and that she could make him willing to keep her by his side.

Later, he came to the conclusion that she rarely took the initiative to ask for anything.

At such a young age, she was as chilled as a retired old lady. Other than her son, she wanted nothing.

It was not that this state wasn't okay, but...

Can't she pay more attention to herself?

He had just discovered that she was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination again!

And she also crossed over to take the psychology exam for her son!

If he had not mistaken the bibliographies, she was preparing for the examination of Capital University's top-ranked psychology major in the country.

Was this woman trying to ascend to the heavens?

Did she see him as the head of the family?

Xu Liancheng thought that the reason why Zhuang Momo was so 'idle' must be because she did not realize how nice he was and did not take him seriously.

Since she was so stupid and her eyesight was not good, he would reluctantly take the initiative for once.

...

Not long after Zhuang Momo and Xu Liancheng left the hospital, Zhuang Fugui's family arrived.

After hearing that the Old Lady was in a VIP special ward, he's got something in mind, and he secretly vowed to build a good relationship with his eldest son-in-law.

Seeing that it was him, the smile on old Mrs. Zhuang's face immediately faded a lot.

"Mom, the company has kept us busy these days, so we..."

"Yes, Mom. Fugui has been so busy these days that he hasn't gone home. And Mengmeng is preparing for her postgraduate defense, she has been writing theses for several nights in a row. Mengmeng, go and make some protein powder for Grandma." Jia Yuewen secretly pinched her daughter's waist, forcing her to go forward and hand things to Old Lady.

Busy with work? Writing a thesis?

Old Mrs. Zhuang lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

She did not want to get involved in their affairs, but that did not mean that she was blind.

"Grandma, please take a sip." Zhuang Mengmeng reluctantly handed over the boiled protein powder.

Old Lady did not want to take it, but after taking a look at her belly, she finally decided to take it over.

"Old Lady, you just took your medicine. You shouldn't drink anything now."

The nutritionist, who had been hinted at by Xu Liancheng, suddenly spoke and took Old Lady's cup.

Only then did Zhuang Fugui's family realize that there were outsiders in the ward, and they began to scheme in their hearts.

"They are nutritionists that Mo Mo hired for me. Mo also needs to work, right?" Old Lady spoke first.

"If that's the case, then we can be at ease. I was thinking that I could stay here to serve you. Since you already have nutritionists, then I won't add to the mess. We definitely can't compare to those professionals." Jia Yuewen quickly found a way to extricate herself from this awkward position.

Even if Old Lady did not count on her, she was also choked half to death by her daughter-in-law. She had never seen such a thick-skinned person! She looked at her stepson, who was constantly rolling his eyes. She secretly sighed in her heart and thought: "Birds of a feather flock together".

"Mom, I have one thing to..." Zhuang Fugui said with a fawningly smile.

"I am an old woman, an old woman from the countryside." Old Mrs. Zhuang interrupted him.

The flesh on Zhuang Fugui's face kept trembling, but he still did not give up.

"It's not a big deal. Since you can live here, then Mo Mo must know the people of this hospital. Can you ask them to help find out whether this child is a girl or a boy?"

As Zhuang Fugui spoke, he glared fiercely at his daughter, then turned around and said, "If there is a miscarriage, then how long will it take to get pregnant by artificial insemination?"

"What?"

"Grandma, please help me. Xu Family said that if I can't give birth to a son, Qingyun will divorce me. I can't live without Brother Qingyun." Zhuang Mengmeng knelt on the ground and wept.

"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous!" Old Lady was shocked by Zhuang Fugui's words! Were they crazy?

.......

Zhuang Momo thought that Xu Liancheng would take her to meet someone or attend some banquet.

However, when the car left the restaurant, it drove all the way to the suburbs, and the scenery outside became more and more desolate.

An hour later, all she could see was the slope, which was also some small saplings.

"Get off."

The car stopped. Xu Liancheng picked up a big black umbrella and motioned for Zhuang Momo to get off.

The car was parked next to the national highway, but even big trucks rarely passed by.

Looking at the endless wasteland, Zhuang Momo was nervous.

However, Xu Liancheng walked out first. Having no choice, she could only quickly follow.

He took her through the long wilderness and her skirt was soaked with sweat.

The sun was scorching hot in the afternoon of June. Even though Zhuang Momo trained every day, she was about to faint at the moment.

"I can't walk anymore."

As she spoke, she supported herself with the tree and sat down on a large rock.

Just as she touched the stone, she bounced up again. It was so hot!

Xu Liancheng took a deep look at her, then handed the umbrella to her, and took off his coat.

That was right, Mr. Xu was still wearing a suit with a long-sleeved shirt inside. He was tightly wrapped.

While Zhuang Momo was stunned, he laid his six-digit suit on the stone and motioned for her to sit.

"You don't have to be so rich, right?"

Zhuang Momo was stunned and did not dare to sit down.

Deep down, she was still a thrifty person. Even if she had money, she couldn't waste it like this.

"Are you not tired?"

The casual man circled above her head, and without any explanation, she was pressed by Xu Liancheng's finger on the stone.

Then...

They fell into a long period of awkwardness again.

The sky was very blue and the air was extremely clear, but it was so hot!

Zhuang Momo's mind was filled with thoughts of "I want to go home, I want to turn on the air conditioner."

"Do you like it?"

Suddenly, Xu Liancheng spoke again. His voice was very soft, like a gentle breeze, softly tapping Zhuang Momo's ear.

He stood and stared at her, his dark eyes filled with gentleness.

"Ah?"

"Do you like this place?"

Xu Liancheng turned around and faced the wasteland.

Zhuang Momo once again fell into a daze. She did not understand what there was to like.

However, no one could be seen on all four sides. The lush forest seemed to be very suitable for destroying the corpses and wiping out the traces. Especially the dark green lake that was deep and bottomless. She felt that it was impossible to find the corpse even if someone threw it down! Her desire to live was extremely strong, so she immediately flattered him with fake flattery.

"I like it. The scenery is pretty good!"

"The sky here is blue, the grass is green, and the lake is so clear that the bottom can be seen. It is obvious that it has not been contaminated!"

"Then we will come here often in the future." Xu Liancheng seemed to be very satisfied with her answer, and the tail of his voice also raised up.

"Often?" Zhuang Momo was stunned.

What do they come here for? Basking in the sun? It's fine as long as he doesn't intend to kill her. She raised her hand and quietly hit her ear. She must have gone mad from studying recently. She was so idle that she liked to analyze Xu Liancheng's thoughts and always felt that Xu Liancheng wanted to kill her.

"Yes, I bought this place. Whatever we just walked through, whatever you can see right now, belongs to me." Xu Liancheng said seriously.

"So, you dragged me here to flaunt your wealth?" She thought.

Zhuang Momo twitched her lips and blinked her eyes looking at him.

Xu Liancheng also looked at her vigorously with great anticipation.

But...

"Shouldn't you be happy?"

"Ha...ppy?" Zhuang Momo felt that it was harder and harder for her to keep up with his mind.

"Yes, we have already registered our marriage. We should also have our own new house. I originally wanted to renovate the manor, but it is not appropriate to destroy the structure of the castle." Xu Liancheng said lightly.

"But there is no problem in the newly-bought land. Since you like it too, I will build a villa community here, which is called Qiancheng. And then I'll fill a heart-shaped island in the center of the lake. How about we call this island Mo's Heart?"

"Are you serious?" Zhuang Momo felt that she must have had a heatstroke and that she even had an illusion. Xu Liancheng was going to build an artificial island for her!

"Am I that bored?"

Zhuang Momo was speechless.

"Do you know why I am called Xu Liancheng?" He suddenly changed the topic, and his racing thoughts caught Zhuang Momo off guard.

"Why?"

Because my name was given by my mother. It came from a phrase in an ancient poem. Referring to the Historical Records, this "Bi" metaphor in this poem is "He family's jade". In those days, my father married my mother with a priceless imperial jade as a betrothal gift. I named my son Xu Bixi because I thought that he would become a person like jade and be a treasure to me and his mother.

"Zhuang Momo, although the way we met is very special, I am also very afraid of trouble. I don't intend to fall in love with another person in this life. I, Xu Liancheng, promise here that I am willing to use a thousand cities as betrothal gifts, and beg you to stay with me forever, okay?"

Zhuang Momo was stunned. Her black eyes were deep and transparent, like two glittering mysterious morning stars. Her cheeks turned red, but after a moment of silence, the light in her eyes returned to calm. There was a hint of determination in her tone.

"No."
