She originally thought that Shen Muting was not at home, so she couldn't think of any good reason for a while.
Shen Muting suddenly thought of something.
He said quietly, "Have you ever dealt with anyone from Hongxingtang?"
Li Man raised his eyebrows, "No, what's wrong?"
Shen Muting looked at her deeply and didn't see anything strange, and said, "It's nothing. Even after your accident, the people from Hongxingtang were also checking you."
Li Man followed his words, "Could it be that those gangsters who kidnapped grandma were members of Hong Xingtang? However, Hong Xingtang is the leading gang in the country, and this matter was handled in a sloppy manner. It doesn't look like it belongs to Hong Xingtang." Things done by people.”
Shen Muting nodded, "Indeed, that's why I never figured out why Hong Xingtang checked you."
Of course it's because of Hua Zhen, Sister Zhen.
But it was impossible for Li Man to tell Shen Muting this.
At least not yet.
Li Man, "They didn't do anything to hurt us anymore, right?"
Shen Muting said, "That's not true."
Li Man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Hong Xingtang is checking me. Maybe the person who harmed me paid this money just to make sure that I was really buried in the sea."
Shen Muting nodded, "Well, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Li Man opened the study door, and at this moment, she suddenly coughed twice.
Shen Muting subconsciously raised his hand to pat her on the back, "What's wrong?"
Li Man coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "My throat is a little dry. Can you get me a glass of water?"
"it is good."
Shen Muting didn't think much, turned around and went downstairs to get her some water.
Li Man walked into the study room without closing the door.
Only then did she look at her study room, which was also where she drew design drafts. It had special easels, brushes and various paints.
The study was still the same as when she left it, and there was a half-painted design draft on the easel.
Li Man couldn't care less about the past. She came here because she had more important things to do, and she wanted to get her computer and mobile phone.
Only in this way can we start to check what happened half a year ago.
Li Man quickly installed her computer and mobile phone. She placed the canvas bag on the desk and looked at the entire study.
When Shen Muting came up with the water, the study door was open, and Li Man was standing in front of the easel, looking at the unfinished design draft in a daze, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Man came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing."
"Thank you." She reached for the water glass and drank most of it in one breath.
Shen Muting said, "Drink slowly, be careful not to choke, and no one will compete with you."
Li Man smiled at him, "The dinner was a bit salty, I'm too thirsty."
After saying that, she drank the remaining half of the glass of water. Her red lips were stained with water and looked particularly moist and delicate under the light of the crystal lamp.
As Shen Muting watched, his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
His gaze was particularly intense, falling on Li Man's face as if it were real.
Li Man lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze and said, "I've got the things. You go to eat quickly. I'll go back first."
With that said, she returned the empty water glass to Shen Muting.
Shen Muting took the water glass and immediately said: "Do you want to go back to Sunshine Water Pavilion?"
Li Man, "I will not go back to Sunshine Waterside Pavilion, I will go back to my home in Washington."
That was the house she rented, where she lived with her grandma. Although it was rented, the place where she and her grandma were together was home.
Shen Muting said hurriedly, "It's not easy to take a taxi here. I'll take you back."
Li Man picked up the canvas bag and said, "No, you haven't eaten yet? Go eat quickly and let Uncle Tang arrange a driver to take me off."
"It's still early, I'll send you off first and eat when you get back."
Seeing that Li Man couldn't push him away, he had no choice but to let him send him back to his home in Washington.
When they arrived at the community, Shen Muting accompanied her upstairs again.
Li Man saw this and said, "Don't you think I lied to you and were afraid that I would go to Sunshine Water Pavilion?"
Shen Muting stood side by side with her in the elevator, "No, how are you going to find out what happened six months ago?"
Shen Muting changed the topic.
"I found a private detective." Li Man casually made up an excuse to deal with him, and then said, "I contacted my elder brother, and he said that you have found the murderer. The reason why he didn't tell me was that I didn't investigate myself. I’ll believe it.”
"Ah."
When the elevator arrived, Shen Muting responded and followed Li Man out of the elevator.
Li Man took out the key and opened the door, turning his head to look at Shen Muting, "Thank you for sending me back. You can go back to eat now."
Shen Muting had no intention of leaving, "I'm a little thirsty. Why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Li Man looked at him like a scoundrel.
Shen Muting met her gaze and raised his eyebrows, "You were at Xishan Villa just now. I was serving you tea and water, and I personally served you. Why, why don't I come here to ask for a drink?"
"Mr. Shen, please come in."
Li Man made a gesture of invitation.
Shen Muting walked in with big steps.
Li Man, "Have you ever had someone clean it?"
Shen Muting said, "Well, clean it every two weeks."
Li Man, "You sit down for a while, I'll boil water."
She just took a look around in the afternoon. There was no food or drink at home and there was very little water.
When Li Man was rinsing the kettle in the kitchen, her cell phone suddenly rang.
It was Allen calling.
Li Man pressed the answer button.
Shen Muting stepped forward, took the kettle in her hand, and said on the other end of the phone, where Allen could hear the voice, "You go ahead and make a call, I'll boil the water."
the other side.
Allen just finished asking where Li Man is. Will he be back in the evening? Then a familiar male voice was heard.
He froze for a moment.
It turned out that she was with Shen Muting.
The light in Allen's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"I'm in Washington Home. I won't go back at night. This is the house I rented with my grandma. I will live here from now on. You have helped me a lot. I can't keep living at your place and eating your food. your."
Li Man walked out of the kitchen while making a phone call.
Shen Muting, who was filling the kettle with water, turned off the faucet and eavesdropped with his ears raised.
He also knew that Li Man was very careful in his interactions with the opposite sex.
Because, I have suffered losses before.
Therefore, she is extra cautious now.
Even so, he just couldn't help but mind Allen.
Thinking that he was now Li Man's most trusted person made her feel uncomfortable.
He admits.
He just cares and is jealous.
Jealousy made him unrecognizable.
Li Man is still on the phone.
Allen smiled and said, "You're welcome to me."
There was a smile in Li Man's eyes, "I'm not polite to you. If I were really polite to you, I would at least count your food, accommodation, and expenses during this period, so that I can't repay the life-saving grace."
This time, Allen didn't make any more jokes about learning from others.
It was obvious that she had feelings for Shen Muting.
The water was boiling, and Li Man was still on the phone with Allen.
Shen Muting glanced at her lightly and saw that she had no intention of hanging up the phone and her dark eyes were dark.
They have known each other for more than half a year and haven't seen each other for only two days. They have so much to talk about?
