After my epilepsy, the entire entertainment industry shunned me like a snake or a scorpion.

Meng Xiang picked up the cup guiltily and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

Inside the ward, the two people were very close to each other, but both looked somewhat awkward and restrained, especially Meng Xiang, who didn't know what topics to talk about with Meng Shuo, so she could only stand there.

Meng Xiang still felt a little uncomfortable about the last time she ran out of the villa without permission and caused so much trouble for her uncle, and she had been looking for an opportunity to apologize to Meng Shuo.

This time she finally had a chance to be alone. She stammered and moved her lips, but couldn't speak for a long time.

Finally, Meng Shuo realized that she wanted to say something to him, so he took an apple from the bedside and peeled it for her to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"What do you want to say?"

Meng Xiang, whose thoughts were exposed, uttered an "ah" and finally said a little embarrassedly, "Can my uncle's family find a nurse to take care of me?"

In fact, she had some difficult words to say about this aspect. It is said that girls avoid their fathers when they grow up. Meng Shuo raised her since she was a child, so he was no different from half a father.

The injury on her leg hasn't healed yet, and it's a little inconvenient for her to move around. These past few days, Meng Shuo has been taking care of her without taking off his clothes. She feels embarrassed to trouble him with some private matters, such as taking a bath and going to the toilet, but it's really inconvenient for her to do it alone.

After hearing Meng Xiang's words, Meng Shuo paused slightly while peeling an apple with a knife. Then he looked up at the timid Meng Xiang and replied after a while.

"it is good."

After getting his uncle's consent, Meng Xiang was obviously relieved.

Meng Shuo's hands kept moving, and soon, the plump and round apple peeled off in his hands, leaving only the snow-white flesh exuding a rich fruity aroma.

A string of fruit peels hung straight down in his hands without any breaks. Meng Xiang couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Meng Shuo was considerate enough to cut the apple in his hand into small pieces to make it easier for Meng Xiang to eat.

There was another silence between the two of them.

In the past, she and her uncle could talk about almost anything, but ever since he sneaked away from the villa and was kidnapped last time, Meng Xiang didn't know what to say to him.

The awkward atmosphere continued to spread, and Meng Xiang racked her brains to find a topic to talk about.

"Uncle, the person who kidnapped me that time... do you know him?"

Thinking about the interaction between the two people that day, it was not an exaggeration for Meng Xiang to doubt.

Originally, she was just looking for a topic to ask out of boredom and didn't expect him to really answer her.

"Yes, I know you."

Meng Shuo's voice reached her ears.

Meng Xiang was caught off guard by the answer and when she heard the word "know", she thought she had misheard.

"Know...know?"

She could hardly speak clearly.

She didn't expect her uncle to admit it like this, and she was confused for a moment.

"Then what's your relationship?"

She talked a lot today, but sooner or later she would know everything, so Meng Shuo didn't hide too much from her.

"My dear."

Relatives...

Does that mean that he is related to her?

Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that I didn’t suffer much trouble when I was kidnapped. I think this may be one of the reasons.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll ask my assistant to arrange a nurse for you. Call me if you need anything."

Meng Shuo stood up and walked towards the door.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he didn't want to say more.

Although Meng Xiang didn't know why her uncle didn't ask her why she ran away, she always felt that this matter would not be let go so easily.

……

After leaving the hospital, Meng Shuo did not return to the company. Instead, he turned around and went to the flower shop to buy a bunch of lilies. He put the flowers on his passenger seat and drove to the suburbs.

Half an hour later, the car drove into the cemetery.

After Meng Shuo got off the car, he took the flowers down, tidied them up simply, and stopped in front of a tombstone.

There are only a few words on the tombstone:

The tomb of Meng Jinnan and his wife Meng Wan.

These are Meng Xiang’s parents.

When the two of them had an accident, he followed Meng Jinnan's will and buried him and his wife together.

Counting the time, I haven’t come to visit for almost a year.

However, the tombstone looked like it had been cleaned not long ago, and there was not much dust or fallen leaves.

He squatted down, knelt on one knee on the ground, and bent over to put the flowers away.

"Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Meng Xiang for you."

The only response he received was the rustling of leaves and the wind blowing around him.

"Meng Yi is back. It's my fault for not taking good care of her this time. You've been gone for more than ten years now. You haven't seen what Ah Xiang looks like, have you?"

Meng Shuo talked a lot to himself, and finally took out a photo of Meng Xiang from his pocket and placed it in front of the tombstone.

Over the years, he was afraid that Ah Xiang would be reminded of the past, so he rarely brought her here.

I don't know if she has come to me secretly to complain that I bullied her in the past few years...

Thinking back to when he first met Meng Xiang, he had just turned ten years old and Meng Xiang was only five or six years old.

He almost kept Meng Xiang by his side under great pressure.

Everyone said that he was a thoughtful man at a young age, and that he was supporting Meng Xiang only for the huge inheritance left by the Meng family.

But in fact, he had already returned all the money to her when Meng Xiang just came of age.

Not only that, he also gave half of his property to the other party.

Just because Meng Xiang is so similar to his childhood self, he sometimes can't tell whether he is helping Meng Xiang or saving his childhood self.

After leaving the cemetery, Meng Shuo went to the company.

On the other hand, the nanny hired by Yin Jiu officially started her job after passing several days of assessment, and she could finally leave her child to the nanny's care without any worries, thus freeing her hands.

Even though Xiao Yuwan is well-behaved and cute, he still needs someone to take care of him even though he doesn't cry or make a fuss most of the time.

The child is only three or four months old and is still in the developmental stage. He may get bumped or bruised easily if you are not careful. This is the stage that requires careful attention. Basically, the child should not be out of sight 24 hours a day.

She didn't put in much effort, but still felt exhausted from raising a child.

Having not had a good rest these past few days, after finally handing the child over to the nanny, Yin Jiu lay limply on Lu Cenyan, hugging him like an octopus to recharge.

Compared to Yin Jiu who looked exhausted, Lu Cenyan was slightly better off. At least her tiredness was not shown on her face.

Lu Cenyan, who had just finished reading, took off the goggles on his nose, put his hand on her waist and lowered his head.

"Shall I carry you upstairs to rest?"

"Need not!"

Hearing about going upstairs, Yin Jiu immediately shook his head.

She opened her eyes with great effort and yawned: "I can't rest, I have to go to the company in the afternoon."

Based on her understanding of herself, if she went back to her room and fell asleep, she would be afraid that when she woke up again, the sun would be shining on her head.

"Once I have dealt with the matters at hand, we will make the official announcement."
