In fact, Yan Liang didn't block him, he just set his phone to silent mode so he didn't hear it.

Yan Liang was very busy and her phone rang almost non-stop. She was annoyed by the congratulations from colleagues and curious inquiries from reporters, so she had to turn her phone on silent.

After the competition, Minister Qin stopped her and asked her many questions about Suzhou embroidery, and she patiently answered them one by one.

Reporters swarmed over and pointed the microphone at her, asking her many personal questions, such as why did she pretend to be mute before? Was she threatened by someone? She and Wang Qingwan were in conflict, who was Wang more partial to? How did she get lost back then? Was there any inside story?

Some questions made Yan Liang laugh and cry, and she didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Sheng Boyan took her into his arms and used his body to protect her to break through the siege. With the help of Shao Qianyi's siblings and Shen Jiannan, she was able to get into the car quickly.

It was destined that they would not be able to gather again today. Several people waved goodbye and asked Sheng Boyan to take Yan Liang home quickly.

On the way, Sheng Boyan drove in silence. Yan Liang quietly observed his expression, and seeing that his expression was calm, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

She thought Sheng Boyan was angry and that was why he ignored her, but how could she explain to him that she was pretending to be deaf and dumb?

Whenever she saw Aunt Sheng taking the trouble to learn sign language in order to communicate with her better, she felt so guilty that she almost blurted it out. But when she thought of Shen Jianxi, she could only avoid her in a hurry and didn't dare to face her.

She kept persuading herself in her heart to wait for a while. After a while, when Shen Jianxi and Wang Qingwan got married and he had no interest in her anymore and her life returned to peace, she would apologize to Aunt Sheng in person.

When Wang Qingwan was proudly framing her in public, she saw Shen Jianxi standing idly outside the crowd, watching her embarrassment with indifference, and had no intention of stepping forward to defend her.

Her heart was cut into pieces by his eyes, and the severe pain forced her to face the reality.

Shen Jianxi was able to steal her design and give it to Wang Qingwan. He had long planned to sacrifice her, but she had been obsessed with it and refused to take back her tenderness. Fearing that he would feel guilty and owe her, Yan Liang had been disappointing those who really cared about her, making them sad and worried.

Yan Liang stood on the stage. One minute before she opened her mouth, she seemed to have experienced nirvana. She no longer cared about Shen Jianxi and firmly defended herself.

In fact, Shen Jianxi didn't care about her at all. She secretly laughed at her own self-conceit and pure stupidity.

She hadn't figured out how to explain to Sheng Boyan. She couldn't bring herself to say such a reason for Shen Jianxi, and she felt more and more at a loss.

"Yanliang, you don't have to rack your brains to think about how to explain to me, just don't say anything." Sheng Boyan sighed lightly and spoke in a relaxed tone, "In fact, before this, I have already confirmed that you have hearing, and I also suspected that your aphasia has long been restored. You must have your own reasons for not wanting to speak."

Yan Liang's moist lips slightly opened as she looked at Sheng Boyan's tough profile lines, unable to utter a word.

"Besides, you had already concealed it before we met at the cemetery. It was not directed at me, so you don't need to feel guilty towards me." Sheng Boyan tilted his head and smiled at her. "In fact, I'm very happy that you bravely spoke up to defend yourself today. Even without me, you can still protect yourself. I'm relieved."

"No, if you hadn't invited Minister Qin, an expert in Suzhou embroidery, in advance, I think it would have taken a lot of effort to convince the judges and leaders present." Yan Liang said sincerely, his voice soft and gentle, completely different from the clear and sharp voice on the stage.

"Your voice is very nice." Sheng Boyan's lips curved into a pleased arc.

Yan Liang's cheeks flushed, and she placed her hand on Sheng Boyan's arm, feeling Sheng Boyan's muscles tense instantly. She smiled suddenly, but did not let go, and said softly, "I'm sorry for not telling you in advance."

Sheng Boyan used a clear laugh to cover up his pounding heart: "The more surprises like this, the better. Yanliang, do whatever you want. Don't worry about me or anyone else."

Yan Liang was completely relaxed. She was always happy and relaxed when she was with Sheng Boyan. Since the first day she met him, he had been protecting her, giving her a great sense of security, and not letting her bear any psychological burden. If she hadn't met him, this period would have been very difficult.

Sheng Boyan was like a solid castle, protecting her tightly inside, and no one or anything that could hurt her could invade.

After returning home, Aunt Sheng was so surprised when she heard Yan Liang speak that her eyes widened, her mouth opened wide in a very unpresentable way, and she looked at Sheng Boyan in disbelief.

Sheng Boyan smiled happily: "Mom, this is true, Yan Liang can speak now. She was originally temporarily aphasic, and she may recover at any time."

He did not tell Yan Liang what he had been hiding before, but only said that he had suddenly recovered from temporary aphasia, which saved Yan Liang a lot of embarrassment and awkwardness.

Yan Liang looked at him gratefully: "Aunt Sheng, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Aunt Sheng was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She hugged Yan Liang and said repeatedly, "That's great! That's great! This is really a double happiness! I heard that your design won first place?"

Yan Liang walked in and nodded with a smile.

“By the way, don’t call me Aunt Sheng from now on. You have to call me ‘Mom’!” Aunt Sheng suddenly remembered something and said with a serious expression.

"Mom, don't be anxious. Let Yanliang rest for a while and eat something." Sheng Boyan quickly changed the subject.

Aunt Sheng hurriedly asked Sister Yun to prepare food for Yan Liang.

Jiang Xiaomei rushed out of the bedroom, stroked Yan Liang and started spinning around. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough strength, and after dragging Yan Liang around for half a circle, they both nearly fell to the ground laughing.

"Yanliang, you can finally speak, hahaha! That's great! Auntie will definitely be happy if she knows!"

Yanliang felt a pang in his heart, thinking how nice it would be if his mother were still alive.

If mom were alive, she and Shen Jianxi wouldn't have so many entanglements and wouldn't have suffered so much.

Jiang Xiaomei's expression froze, and she smiled awkwardly: "Yanliang, don't be sad, I will go with you to see mom some other day."

"Yeah." Tears flashed in Yan Liang's eyes and he nodded.

"Auntie," Chenchen's soft voice sounded. Yanliang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chenchen standing at the bedroom door with bare feet, her clear big eyes blinking at Yanliang.

Yan Liang hurriedly ran over, picked up the little guy, and kissed his pink little face, making Chenchen giggle.

Jiang Xiaomei took the child and asked Yanliang to wash up first.

After taking a hot bath and changing clothes, Yanliang felt refreshed, his body felt much lighter, and his stomach started to growl.

Sister Yun had already placed a table full of delicious food. To celebrate Yanliang's award, she also made a special casserole beef dish, which was her specialty. The beef was stewed until it was soft but not rotten, melted in the mouth, and was very tasty.

Chenchen ate two pieces and still asked for more. Jiang Xiaomei was afraid that he would get indigestion if he ate too much at night, so she used milk porridge to divert his attention.

After eating and drinking, Yan Liang returned to the bedroom, stretched out her limbs and lay on the big bed, sighing happily. She hadn't felt so happy for a long, long time.

Jiang Xiaomei slid in wearing soft-soled slippers and lay down beside Yan Liang, her eyes emitting colorful lights under the light: "Yan Liang, I really regret not going with you today. I'll give Wang Qingwan two big slaps!"

"Well, Officer Shao went there today too, right?" she asked cautiously.
