It's hard for a defeated president to chase his wife

When Lin Wanmian mentioned Nalan, Murong Aoyang couldn't help but pause. It's true that he didn't have any news about Nalan, but he chose not to tell her for the time being.

Nalan's accident seems to be covered with a veil of mystery, but he hasn't lifted the veil yet, he doesn't know what the truth is!
Not sure about Nalan's life or death, he didn't want Lin Wanmian to be anxious in confusion, so he chose not to tell her about Nalan's existing news.

But since she asked Nalan again, he could only say:
"Mian'er, give me a little more time, now I have found out that she appeared in England, it's just..." He actually didn't want to lie to her.

"Just what?"

"It's just that we still haven't found her, but something special happened to her. As for what it is, I don't know yet." Murong Aoyang answered her half-truthfully.

Lin Wanmian did not doubt what Murong Aoyang said, for her, Nalan's life was more important than anything else.

As for why Nalan didn't contact her family, although she was also very curious, but since Nalan was alive but avoided seeing him, it proved that she must have unavoidable difficulties.

It's just that she can't know what happened to Nalan now, all she can do now is to continue to wait, maybe Nalan will suddenly appear one day.As if she was still alive, there was no reason why she should never go home!
Because she trusted Murong Aoyang, Lin Wanmian didn't think too much, she let him send her back to the house with peace of mind.

Murong Aoyang was on his way home, he felt that Zhang Chou's silence was different from before, he looked at Zhang Chou and said deliberately:

"Zhang Fu, there is something I think I need to remind you."

Zhang Chou was puzzled for a moment, Murong Aoyang would never talk to him like this, he subconsciously thought there was something wrong with his work, he subconsciously apologized solemnly:
"Sorry, young master, is there something wrong with my work?"

"No, it has nothing to do with work." Murong Aoyang smiled lightly.

"...?"

"It's nothing, but Mian'er seems to be very dissatisfied with you now, you may have to be careful, don't do anything to make her dissatisfied with you even more. Otherwise, you know, if one day she wants me to dissatisfy you If you don't, I might not care about you."

"I will pay attention!"

In fact, Murong Aoyang's words were so endless that the corners of Zhang Chou's mouth twitched. If it wasn't because Murong Aoyang was his master, he wouldn't even have the thought of answering.

Murong Aoyang didn't think that Zhang Chou talked too little before, but now he suddenly felt that Zhang Chou was really boring.

But since Zhang Fu doesn't say much, he can only continue to say bluntly:
"You really don't have any thoughts about Liu Zhirou?"

"Master, what do you want to say?"

In fact, Zhang Chou already guessed what Murong Aoyang was going to say.If Lin Wanmian had any dissatisfaction with him, it must have something to do with Liu Zhirou.

Murong Aoyang smiled and said:

"Mian'er told me just now that Liu Zhirou still hasn't let you go. She asked me to tell you that if you really don't have any thoughts about Liu Zhirou, then there is nothing to say. But if you have other concerns, you don't want to Accept Liu Zhirou, she hopes you don't miss Liu Zhirou!"

After Murong Aoyang finished speaking, Zhang Chou remained silent and did not answer anything.

"Zhang Fu, you can't hide your liking for someone. You are not so indifferent to Liu Zhirou, are you?"

"Master, I know my choice. At present, I don't have the heart to think about those things."

Murong Aoyang probably heard that Zhang Chou didn't want to continue discussing such a topic, so he also respected it and didn't say anything else.

However, after sending Murong Aoyang home, Zhang Fu went back to his residence in Murong Manor and lay on the bed quietly thinking.

He was thinking whether Liu Zhirou really meant nothing to him?

He thought that he did not have any strong feelings for her, but her figure would always appear in his mind inadvertently.

This is just like what Murong Aoyang said, he is not indifferent to Liu Zhirou.

Especially seeing her much thinner figure today, even if he denies it to the whole world, he can't lie to himself, he actually feels inexplicably heartbroken!
Although it wasn't his intention to meet her today, he could see that she was deliberately avoiding him as a stranger.

If according to what Lin Wanmian said, Liu Zhirou hadn't let him go yet, then she deliberately avoided him because she was forcing herself to draw a clear line with him.

She suppressed herself like that, and she didn't know if she was all right now...?
Zhang Fu's thoughts are unknown, and Liu Zhirou who has been home for a long time and is also lying on the bed is even more unaware that the person occupying her thoughts is also thinking about her.

She thought her mood had settled down well, but when she saw Zhang Fu again, she realized that her calmness was only used to deceive others.

As soon as she got home, she was so upset that she hid in her room and stayed by herself without saying hello to her family.

However, her abnormality still attracted the attention of the family, so someone knocked on her door soon.

When Liu Zhirou got up, she saw Lu Ningya pushing the door and coming in. She hurriedly opened the quilt and got out of bed, shouting:
"Mother……."

"It's okay, you don't need to get out of bed." Lu Ningya stopped Liu Zhirou from getting out of bed.

Liu Zhirou didn't say anything, but she still put on her slippers and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lu Ningya who was also sitting next to her.

Lu Ningya also looked at her and said:
"Zhirou, what's wrong with you, did something happen?"

Lu Ningya noticed carefully that Liu Zhirou looked normal when she went out during the day, but when she came back at night, she was obviously not in a good mood.

Liu Zhirou pursed her lips, and she replied with some guilt:

"I'm sorry, Mom, did I make you worry again?"

During the time when she avoided hiding at home and had no interest in life, she knew that her family worried a lot for her.

Today, she originally thought about going out happily and then coming back happily, so that her family could rest assured.

But when she saw Zhang Shou, her good mood was taken away.

Thinking about how ashamed she was, no matter how Zhang Fu treated her, it was because she pestered him that he hated her.

To put it bluntly, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Fu, he just didn't like her.It was her own self-pity and self-pity, which even made her family feel bad.

Lu Ningya sighed lightly. Although she didn't have a smile on her face, her expression was much softer than before.

Hearing that Liu Zhirou was concerned about her feelings first again, she couldn't help being touched and distressed, she said lightly:

"Zhirou, Mom is asking what's wrong with you, not because you've affected me."

"I...I'm fine, I'm fine!" Liu Zhirou forced a smile.

"You're clearly unhappy, how come you're so good?" Lu Ningya pointed out Liu Zhirou's disguise.

Liu Zhirou lowered her head slightly and hid some smiles. It may be that the current Lu Ningya gave her the feeling that she could be willful, so she no longer denied it and said softly:
"Mom, I'm really a little unhappy now. I need some time to digest my bad emotions. I'm sorry for troubling you!"

"If you are not happy, you are not happy. What are you sorry for?"

Lu Ningya was more or less relieved that Liu Zhirou was not forcing herself to show her cute and sweet appearance at all times, unlike before.

Now she will express her true feelings more often, like now, she is willing to speak out when she is not happy, which is actually quite good!

Liu Zhirou looked up at the concern on Lu Ningya's face, she smiled sweetly again, and her mood improved inexplicably, she suddenly boldly asked:

"Mom, can I give you a hug?"

Lu Ningya was taken aback for a moment, she looked at Liu Zhirou's expectant eyes, she was actually somewhat uncomfortable, but she still reached out and hugged Liu Zhirou.

Liu Zhirou's body stiffened for a moment, and she also stretched out her arms to hug Lu Ningya, then laughed and cried and said:

"Mom, thank you!"

Although Lu Ningya was silent, her heart was not at all peaceful.

Before that, she didn't remember when she hugged Liu Zhirou.I don't think I've hugged him before, have I?

"The smell in my mother's arms really hasn't changed, it's sweet and warm!"

Liu Zhirou hugged Lu Ningya's embrace, she was so satisfied.

Lu Ningya didn't understand what Liu Zhirou's emotion meant for a while, she gently pushed Liu Zhirou away, looked at her and asked in doubt:

"What are you talking about, mine...why hasn't the smell changed?" How does it sound like she hugged her?
"My mother's taste hasn't changed, it's still the same as when I was a child, I like it very much."

"What... When I was a child?"

Why doesn't she remember hugging Liu Zhirou when she was a child?In my impression, not only Liu Zhirou, but even her own biological daughter Liu Zhiruo treated her equally, because she was unwilling to treat her two daughters favorably.

Liu Zhirou saw that Lu Ningya didn't remember that she hugged her at all, but she was not unhappy, she reminded with a smile:

"Mom, don't you remember? When I was eight years old, I had a fever and I was confused, and it was very uncomfortable to sleep at night. It was Mom who hugged me and slept until dawn, and I slowly got better."

When Liu Zhirou said this, Lu Ningya immediately remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

That time Liu Zhirou burned for a long time, and it was probably too uncomfortable, so she still lost her temper, and no one could coax her.

She kept crying and crying in bed at night, and when she was tired from crying, she finally calmed down and couldn't sleep well.

That's why she stayed by Liu Zhirou's side and watched, and in the middle of the night Liu Zhirou was crying again in her sleep, calling her mother.

That's how Lu Ningya hugged Liu Zhirou in her arms to comfort her, and what was amazing was that Liu Zhirou slept peacefully in her arms until dawn, and even the fever subsided.

But that night when Liu Zhirou fell ill and fell asleep, Lu Ningya thought she didn't know, but she didn't expect that she did.

However, what surprised Lu Ningya even more was that Liu Zhirou had regarded her as a harbor she could rely on since she was so young.

But for a long time, she only regarded Liu Zhirou as a child she wanted to raise and educate, and she didn't regard Liu Zhirou as her own daughter.

When she began to accept Liu Zhirou from her heart, she no longer knew how to express her feelings!
