Chapter 11: A Request He Could Not Refused

“Aunt Wu, Shen Jingmo said that he had something to do at the company and couldn’t return,” Mu Qingyu said.

“She’s afraidI’ll be unhappy, so she suggested she take me out to play.”

“Madam Shen personally sent you here?”

Tang Xin said, “It seems you are a real daughter-in-law to her.”

“Aunt Wu is good to me.” Mu Qingyu smiled shyly.

“This is enough. It was fine as long as the family was harmonious. There was no need to have a husband.”

The young masters were in high spirits in the private room upstairs. They thought Shen Jingmo was asleep and couldn’t hear them, so they gossiped about him.

Unexpectedly, not long after, He pushed the door open from the outside. And the person they gossiped about walked in. He still had that unfriendly look, but everyone could feel a trace of joy in his eyes.

“Young Master Shen, you just got out?”

Fu Heng wasn’t sure if Jingmo had heard the gossip about him, so he quickly changed the topic.

“Just now,” Shen Jingmo’s tone was light. “It’s too boring. I’m going out for a walk.”

He spoke much more than usual and seemed in a good mood.

“You seem to be in a good mood.” Yu Yang leaned closer to him. “You met a female guest that you like?”

Shen Jingmo didn’t say anything. He casually poured himself a glass of wine and drank half of it in one go before he glanced at Yu Yang.

“Let me ask you, what are the chances of two people who haven’t seen each other for ten years being together?”

“If you haven’t seen each other in ten years?”

A young master with a beautiful woman around his arm pushed his companion beside him to the side and got closer.

“First of all, the premise of being together is that you used to have feelings for each other. Second, even if you had feelings for each other in the past, you last contacted each other ten years ago. Do you know if the other party is married or not? Lastly, even if the other one is still single, you’re already a married man, Young Master Shen.”

The tense man became even more nervous. He wiped his hands clean and said, “Forget it.”

He raised his head inadvertently and suddenly saw a familiar pair of eyes outside the room. It was her, the girl he had met at the fountain.

A beautiful girl was beside her, and the two walked forward with a smile.

Shen Jingmo thought of what that person had just said and finally turned his head away.

“Let’s not question whether the young lady is single or married.”

“Shen Jingmo, you’re already a married man.”

Shen Jingmo felt increasingly depressed. It was like he could not get close. He drank a few more glasses. The person fell asleep after they sailed for a few days and drank that night.

Fu Heng could tell he was in a bad mood, so he handed him a room card.

“Go upstairs and rest first. Even if that person is a fairy, we’ll talk tomorrow.”

Shen Jingmo did not refute. The top floor was specially reserved for distinguished guests to rest in, and this was his first time here.

Fu Heng must have given him his room card. It was already good to sleep on a hard bed in the army. Besides, the cleaners came to change the spare items every day. Shen Jingmo was not so particular about it, so he just made do with it for one night.

He swiped his card to open the door. But he heard rustling sounds in the room before he could turn on the lights.

“Xinxin, why is the house so hot?”

The girl’s soft and coquettish voice made him freeze on the spot. And then…his face instantly turned red. It was her.

Shen Jingmo’s slow brain didn’t have time to think about why she was in this room. He walked out and looked at the number on the door again.

‘That’s right, 305.’

So, he entered the correct room. Shen Jingmo stood at the door. He froze. He got confused about whether to step forward or backward.

“It’s so hot…”

The person at the door did not move at all.

Mu Qingyu tossed and turned in her blanket.

“Xinxin, can you help me turn on the air conditioner…”

Shen Jingmo couldn’t reject her, nor could he turn around and leave. He carefully walked to the entrance, turned on the air conditioner on the wall, and adjusted the temperature to what he thought was more comfortable.
