The two talked for a while longer before Cheng Yu reluctantly hung up the phone.

Meng Tingwan's smiling face gradually disappeared after she put down her phone.

In fact, she herself had noticed that every time she talked to Cheng Yu, she would be in a good mood, and her smile would unconsciously increase.

Could it be that I've really become dependent on him?

Or perhaps it was because they discovered he had once been a psychologist.

Regardless of the reason, Meng Tingwan knew that leaving him wouldn't be easy.

-

Downstairs at the Tang Group building, Tang Qian held her bag in one hand and sent a message to Meng Tingwan with the other, telling her not to worry.

They replied quickly, along with a hug emoji.

Tang Qian really wanted to make a call, but she was exhausted from dealing with things all day and just wanted to get some sleep.

So he didn't bother Meng Tingwan anymore.

The driver respectfully opened the car door and escorted her inside.

In the car, Tang Qian gave an address, then rested her head on the back of the seat, closed her eyes, and prepared to take a rest.

Half an hour later, the car came to a smooth stop in front of a small villa.

Tang Qian immediately opened her eyes and looked outside.

From ahead, the driver's voice came, "Miss, we've arrived."

"it is good."

Tang Qian pushed open the car door, got out, and walked towards the villa gate with her bag.

Before she even reached the door, she suddenly noticed what appeared to be a person crouching in the shadows beside her.

Hearing the car drive away, Chen Musheng looked up and met Tang Qian's gaze.

"A Sheng?"

Tang Qian gripped the strap of her bag tightly and slowly walked over.

Chen Musheng had been squatting for quite a while, and his legs were numb when he stood up, so he supported himself with one hand on the wall next to him.

"Why are you here?"

When Tang Qian asked him, he carefully replied, "You said I could go wherever I wanted, so I had the driver bring me back."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qian was stunned for a moment, then tugged at the corner of her lips.

This driver is really obedient.

"Wait for a long time?"

"soon."

Chen Musheng shook his head.

Tang Qian thought a lot that afternoon, and then there were the things Meng Tingwan had told her.

Looking at the boy in front of her, it was as if a maple leaf had drifted into the calm lake of her heart, creating ripples.

"Come in with me."

Chen Musheng looked somewhat surprised, but as he watched Tang Qian walk away, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately followed.

This was his first time visiting Tang Qian's residence, and he looked around after entering.

It's a very simple two-story detached villa with a garage and a basement home theater.

The interior decoration was simple yet cozy, matching Tang Qian's taste.

Tang Qian noticed him standing there watching her since he came in, looking quite reserved. "Have you eaten?" she asked.

"have eaten."

After Chen Musheng finished speaking, he noticed that Tang Qian was staring at him, so he quickly changed his words, "Not yet."

Tang Qian smiled and said, "I haven't eaten either, let's eat together."

After saying that, she turned and went to the kitchen.

There are vegetables and some fast food in the refrigerator.

She lives alone here, but a cleaning lady comes regularly every day to clean and replace the ingredients with fresh ones.

Chen Musheng followed her into the kitchen and saw her take out some vegetables and eggs, which he immediately took from her.

They skillfully placed the fish in the pool and began washing.

Tang Qian isn't very good at cooking. She can manage to cook dumplings and wontons, but nothing else.

However, observing Chen Musheng's cooking technique, she asked, "Did you used to cook for yourself like this?"

Chen Musheng paused in washing the vegetables, not quite understanding what she meant by her question.

Tang Qian then bluntly stated the truth, leaning against the platform behind her, "Xiao Wu called today and said that you worked at the palace five years ago, is that right?"

Chen Musheng didn't look at her, continued what he was doing, and replied, "Yes, half a year."

"So the things you said to me today are because you met me five years ago, back when we were there, right?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you never tell me?" Tang Qian wasn't questioning him, but rather wanted to know what she had said back then.

Chen Musheng washed the vegetables and placed them in the colander next to him before turning to look at her. "I thought you would recognize me. Besides, this isn't something to brag about."

Tang Qian took a deep breath, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at him. "Then can you tell me what you've been hiding from me?"

Chen Musheng's identity could not possibly be what I investigated, and since there are no new results yet, the only way is to get him to tell me himself.

After a few seconds of silence, the boy slowly spoke, "Do you believe me?"

Tang Qian didn't quite understand what he meant, but she still nodded, "I believe you."

Chen Musheng smiled, his expression a mixture of surprise and joy. "Tomorrow, could you take me to meet your uncle?"

"To see my dad?"

Tang Qian was taken aback. This matter had something to do with her father?

"Are you serious?"

"seriously."

Chen Musheng looked sincerely into her eyes.

Tang Qian had no choice but to agree, "Okay."

-

The next day.

After having breakfast, Tang Qian and Chen Musheng were picked up by a driver and taken to the Tang family's old residence.

On the way, Tang Qian glanced at the trending topics again; most of those terms had already been banned.

Her statement also had an effect.

The marketing accounts and bloggers who claimed they were having an affair with Chen Musheng before their divorce have all received lawyer's letters from the Tang family.

Chen Musheng sat obediently to the side, glancing at the person next to him from time to time.

After sending a few more messages, Tang Qian remembered something: "I quit my job as an agent and am going back to work at the company."

“Then I…” Chen Musheng had actually thought of that too.

“If you don’t want to make a comeback, I respect your decision and can find you other work.” Tang Qian had thought it over. She shouldn’t make the decision for him. Even if he entered the entertainment industry because of her, that was just a reason.

A strange look flashed in Chen Musheng's lowered eyes. The next second, Tang Qian heard him say, "I'm willing. You're right. I still have fans who love me. I can't let them down."

Tang Qian had made two preparations, but she was still very happy to hear him say that.

"Okay, I'll help you."

This matter won't stay in the spotlight for long, and given that the Duan family isn't exactly a good family, their comeback is only a matter of time.

The car drove all the way to the Tang family's old house, where the two got out one after the other.

Tang Zongjing and his wife had just finished breakfast and were now sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

A servant came to the two of them and said, "Sir, Madam, Miss has arrived."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Qian appeared at the door with Chen Musheng.

"Dad, mom."

Chen Musheng followed behind her and called out, "Uncle and Aunt."

Tang Zongjing smiled and nodded at his daughter, but when his gaze fell on Chen Musheng behind him, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
