"I'm sorry, Madam, sometimes I don't know exactly where the BOSS is either," Song Xun said with a smile.

Looking at Song Xun's smiling face, Jiang Mian thought to herself, "I don't believe you at all."

There was nothing that Song Xun didn't know; he was simply keeping it a secret for Lu Bozhou.

Jiang Mian sighed softly and asked again, "Is he angry that I moved out?"

Hearing Jiang Mian's words, Song Xun's smile deepened.

“I can answer that,” Song Xun said with a smile. “Please rest assured, Madam, the BOSS is not angry at all.”

Jiang Mian didn't really trust him; this guy and Lu Bozhou were in cahoots.

She looked at Song Xun with suspicion.

Song Xun felt somewhat helpless, but didn't offer much explanation.

They soon moved to a house in Jiangtingyuan.

Lu Chaochi was clearly very interested in and satisfied with this place.

They ran around inside and out, looking everything over.

"Mianmian! It's so beautiful here!" Lu Chaochi stood in front of the large French windows, looking at the scenery outside with great joy. "I love it here!"

"I'm glad you like it." Jiang Mian gently patted Lu Chaochi's head. "I'm going to pack my things now."

"I'll help you!" Little Stone quickly followed up, helping her with some light tasks.

Jiang Mian thought for a moment, then whispered to him, "Little Stone, do you want to go to kindergarten?"

Lu Chaochi, who had been very excited, immediately fell silent.

He folded the clothes in his hands and said softly, "I can't go."

"Can't or don't want to?"

"No," Lu Chaochi said softly, "Dad won't agree."

Because Lu Bozhou disagreed, the child has been staying in the mansion for several years.

It's already a blessing that they didn't become withdrawn.

Although Jiang Mian didn't say anything to Xiao Shitou, she had already made some secret decisions in her heart.

She must talk to Lu Bozhou about this when she gets the chance.

Since I didn't have much luggage, packing wasn't too tiring.

Little Stone was exhausted. After dinner, he quickly went back to his room and fell asleep.

Jiang Mian, on the sofa, unknowingly fell asleep as well.

I don't know how long I slept.

However, I was suddenly awakened by the doorbell.

Jiang Mian rubbed her eyes and walked to the door.

A sense of vigilance slowly rose within her. She had just moved in; surely no one would come looking for her.

Jiang Mian squinted at the cat's eyes.

Then, through the cat's eyes, Lu Bozhou was seen standing at the door.

She stared blankly at Lu Bozhou standing outside the door, without making a move.

The next second, the man suddenly looked up and stared at the cat's eyes.

Jiang Mian was startled, feeling as if she had made eye contact with the man through the peephole!

Jiang Mian took a slight step back.

Before she could react further...

She heard a beeping sound coming from the door lock; that was the sound of entering the password!

Jiang Mian's eyes suddenly widened!

It was her oversight! She had just moved in and was thinking that the previous owner was abroad.

She hasn't had time to change her password yet!

At that moment, a click sounded.

The door lock was opened from the outside.

If it weren't Lu Bozhou standing outside, this would have been a truly terrifying scene.

The door opened, and a tall, slender man walked in.

The door closed gently behind him.

Without the outside hallway lights, his figure instantly fell into shadow, revealing his sharp silhouette.

The next second, the ceiling light in the entryway sensed his presence and quickly turned on.

Warm yellow light shone down from above him, as if coating his entire body with a layer of soft light.

The sharp and fierce temperament and lines that were originally there seemed to have been softened in that instant.

"Did you not open the door because you heard the doorbell, or because you saw it was me?" Lu Bozhou asked calmly as he changed his shoes.

But there were no slippers in the shoe cabinet.

Jiang Mian only brought her and Lu Chaochi's luggage, and never intended to include Lu Bozhou in the trip.

Little did anyone know that he would come looking for them...

The man, carrying the slight chill of the night breeze, walked into the living room and saw her slippers next to the sofa.

He stretched out his foot and hooked one over.

Jiang Mian watched the man's movements, watched his back, and felt only...

This man might really have some kind of mental illness.

Otherwise, what normal man would be upset about not having his slippers?

She was wearing her slippers? And only one of them, it was way too short!

His entire heel was exposed, revealing his clearly defined ankle bone and long Achilles tendon.

Lu Bozhou shuffled into the room wearing a slipper that was a bit too short.

She glanced at her sleeping son before coming out of the room.

Jiang Mian looked down at his foot, which was wearing only one slipper.

"Have you been drinking?" Jiang Mian asked.

Otherwise, I always felt that Lu Bozhou, in a sober state, would not have done such a thing.

The man merely glanced at her indifferently. "You think you're right for not providing my slippers?"

Jiang Mian was taken aback. "But... I never expected you to come."

Lu Bozhou looked down at her. The living room lights were off, with only a few floor lamps in the corner casting a dim yellow light.

They looked at each other in the dim light.

"Did they never expect me to come, or did they never intend for me to come?"

Lu Bozhou raised his hand and gently pinched her chin. "Jiang Mian, what exactly do you want?"

Jiang Mian pursed her lips, remaining silent and not answering.

After a long pause, he finally asked, "Have you eaten anything? Would you like me to heat something up for you?"

The man didn't speak, but his deep, dark eyes remained fixed on her.

It was as if they wanted to see right through her.

Jiang Mian's heart was pounding. She was wondering... had this man forgotten to take his medicine?

His current state is clearly different from before.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to give in.

"It's hot, isn't it?"

Jiang Mian felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly went to heat up some food for him.

Lu Bozhou sat there, eating slowly and casually.

Jiang Mian then tentatively asked, "How...did you get here? Did Song Xun tell you? Does he know the password to the main gate?"

Jiang Mian had some suspicions in her mind, but she didn't dare to say them outright.

But the man made no attempt to hide anything, listening to the tentative hints in her voice.

Lu Bozhou said calmly, "No need to guess, it was indeed me who asked Song Xun to have the real estate agent arrange the house for you."

The hanging heart finally died.

Jiang Mian took a deep breath, and after a long while, she managed to choke out, "But...why?"

Lu Bozhou stopped picking up food and looked at her quietly.

“I don’t think you’d agree to have it arranged for you directly. Besides, I also want to see what you really want to do.”

Lu Bozhou looked at her quietly, staring into her eyes.

"Jiang Mian, you're taking my son and leaving. What exactly are you planning to do?"

Stared at like that, Jiang Mian felt as if all her thoughts were laid bare! "Qiqi is here to ask for your favorites and votes! Thank you, my darlings, mwah!"
