Lu Bozhou was right next to her, but Jiang Mian couldn't even turn around to look at him.

She bit her lip, her brow furrowed, her mind racing as she considered how to bring it up with Lu Bozhou.

After a brief moment, Jiang Mian spoke in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I took the liberty of making this decision. But given the situation just now, it would be more appropriate for Little Stone to go back with them."

"That's perfect, you don't have to hide your injuries anymore, you can recover properly. It will also help ease the tension with the elders..."

As soon as Jiang Mian finished speaking, she heard a faint chuckle from beside her.

The laughter wasn't cold.

But Jiang Mian still couldn't help feeling a tightness in her scalp.

"I didn't realize you cared so much about my ex-wife's parents' feelings?"

The man's voice was as deep and slightly hoarse as ever.

She couldn't discern anything amiss, but Jiang Mian inexplicably felt that it contained a profound test.

It was a much deeper test than when they had asked her to make those foods before!

Jiang Mian's heart was pounding wildly in her chest, almost losing its speed!

But she reacted quickly and didn't hesitate for long.

"After all, they are elders. Mrs. Lu died young after giving birth to Xiao Shitou, and the two elders, who are old and gray, inevitably feel resentful and indignant."

"We should be as understanding as possible. If it makes the two elders feel better, Xiao Shitou will worry less. It's clear that he cares about his elders."

Jiang Mian thought her explanation was somewhat plausible. But since the other party was Lu Bozhou, she really had no confidence at all.

She didn't receive a response from Lu Bozhou.

Feeling uneasy, I finally couldn't help but look up at him.

She met the man's deep eyes.

Jiang Mian's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "You're not angry, are you? I took it upon myself to do this."

"It doesn't matter." The man changed his shoes and walked inside.

Jiang Mian couldn't see the expression on his face, but she heard his calm voice coming from ahead, "Even if what you said makes sense."

It was a casual remark, and it didn't seem to mean anything wrong.

But Jiang Mian still wasn't sure.

She changed her shoes and followed him inside, only to see Lu Bozhou already sitting on the living room sofa, unbuttoning his shirt collar with one hand.

He held his phone in one hand and called Song Xun.

"Yeah, they just went there. Have someone follow them and keep an eye on them. Did I agree? No, I didn't agree; someone else agreed for me..."

Although Jiang Mian couldn't hear what Song Xun was saying on the other end of the phone, it wasn't hard to guess what they were talking about from Lu Bozhou's words.

Jiang Mian felt awkward staying there, so she bit her lip and decided to go back to her room first.

She finally let out a long sigh of relief after sitting down in the chair in Lu Chaochi's room.

Looking at the scattered building blocks on the ground.

Jiang Mian bent down and tidied up before going to her room.

Open the wardrobe and find some light and comfortable clothes to change into.

After changing, I had just turned around.

A gasp caught in her throat. Her eyes widened, her pupils constricted, and her gaze became frantic as she looked at the man standing in the doorway.

I had no idea he was standing at the door.

He might even have seen everything, including when I was changing clothes.

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Mian asked somewhat awkwardly, biting her lips even tighter.

Lu Bozhou took two steps closer to her.

"I just came to see how you got here," Lu Bozhou said calmly.

Jiang Mian looked puzzled. "I'm going back to my room to change my clothes."

“This is the nanny’s room,” Lu Bozhou said.

Jiang Mian nodded, "Yes..."

She hadn't realized what he meant at first, but after responding, she looked into the man's eyes.

Jiang Mian suddenly realized what Lu Bozhou meant.

Yes, this is the nanny's room.

But she was no longer the Lu family's nanny.

"I forgot for a moment and didn't realize it," Jiang Mian said.

"So I came by to remind you." Lu Bozhou finished speaking and turned to walk towards the room door. "Come out when you're ready."

Because of how she had acted in front of her parents, Jiang Mian always felt somewhat uncertain when facing Lu Bozhou.

If you can minimize contact with him, then minimize contact for the time being.

Jiang Mian went straight to the kitchen to start preparing food, because she had already arranged to pick up Lu Chaochi later.

That means she's going to her parents' house.

Jiang Mian secretly wanted to cook more delicious food to take back, not only for Xiao Shitou, but also for her parents to try.

And now is just the right time...

Let him try it.

"...How is it?" Jiang Mian asked, looking at the man sitting across from her at the dining table.

Lu Bozhou's face didn't show much expression. "Not bad."

The same goes for the voice. It sounds perfunctory.

Jiang Mian didn't want to ask anymore. Anyway, she was already used to his perfunctory attitude in her past life.

Moreover, usually, if you try to coax me into asking more questions, that's fine.

The man would get impatient and angry, and as soon as he changed his expression and became furious, Jiang Mian would obediently quiet down.

Only she knew the sadness in her heart.

In her past life, Jiang Mian was only preoccupied with her own sorrow at such a time.

To feel sorry for oneself.

There was simply no time to observe other details.

But in this life, I have a different state of mind.

Perhaps it's because they no longer care.

With less self-pity, Jiang Mian had more time to observe more details.

For example, the man sitting across from me.

Clearly, his attitude is no different from that in his previous life.

It still sounds like a perfunctory response.

The posture is not much different.

But he ate quite quickly and quite a lot!

However, their movements appeared slow and deliberate, making it seem as if they hadn't eaten much.

Jiang Mian noticed this and was somewhat surprised.

Was this man like this in her past life?

But in those memories, she only remembered how sad she was at the time; she had no other recollection.

The man's deep voice brought her back to her senses.

"We'll bring Lu Chaochi back the day after tomorrow."

"...Huh?" Jiang Mian suddenly came to her senses. "The day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow. And since you volunteered, then you go pick it up." Lu Bozhou didn't even look up, still looking at the documents on his tablet.

So, they probably didn't notice that Jiang Mian pouted slightly, "I'll go, I'll go."

That evening, Jiang Mian stood with difficulty in front of the master bedroom door, despite her explanation that her injuries had not yet healed.

If I sleep in the same bed with him, I might accidentally bump into his injury.

However, their previous experience of sharing a bed at the resort suggests that she is quite well-behaved when she sleeps.

Therefore, this reason is basically invalid.

Jiang Mian thought to herself, "I should have poked his wound yesterday."

But enveloped in the man's familiar scent, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Mian's breathing became calm and long.

In the darkness, the man lying beside her suddenly opened his eyes.

The raging flames in his eyes were burning fiercely.

He reached into the bedside table drawer and pulled out a medicine bottle, popping two pills into his mouth. "Qiqi is asking for favorites and votes! Capricorns are terrifying! Friends in Hainan, Guangdong, and Guangxi, please be careful!"
