Mr. Satan, let's meet tonight!

Si Chengxiao sneered and blurted out without thinking, "You mean finding a surrogate?"

Gong Ze shrugged, seemingly unsurprised that the guess had been made. "Yeah, but judging from Si Tingye's expression last night, he doesn't seem to be planning to do that. As his older brother, you should try to persuade him. Otherwise, you could just find Mu Pianran and have her future child adopted by them, since you hate children anyway."

"..."

"I'm starting to suspect that your grandfather knew about Shang Xi's illness all along, which is why he tried to get Mu Pianran pregnant with his child... It's such a coincidence that your child is like this."

“It is indeed a coincidence.” Si Chengxiao narrowed his eyes. “Mu Pianran’s sudden disappearance is a bit strange. The old man hasn’t called again these past two days. It seems I need to find some time to go back to London to check on things.”

"Back to London?"

"Ah."

Miyazawa was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say this had nothing to do with that old man? Why have you changed your mind today? Did you discover some clues?"

However, speak of the devil and he appears.

Just then, the phone rang, followed by the secretary's voice, "Mr. Mu, an elderly gentleman claiming to be your grandfather is calling. Would you like me to transfer you?"

Si Chengxiao responded coldly and pressed the call button.

Almost at the same time, Si Chengfeng's aged voice also came out, "Chengxiao, how have you been managing the Mu Group lately?"

"The stock market has risen, and I estimate that in another half month, its status in the capital will return to what it used to be."

“Very good. When you have some free time, go back to London. I’ll introduce you to someone.”

"Who is it?" Si Chengxiao sensed something was wrong. "Is there something you can't say over the phone or video? The company has been very busy lately."

Si Chengfeng laughed twice. "Your good-for-nothing brother insists on marrying a woman who is not presentable. He even abandoned his wife and children for her. Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable in our Si family. So I plan to send someone to assist you in taking over EUS's subsidiary in the capital as soon as possible. However, this person said he wants to meet with you first."

Si Chengxiao understood the meaning behind the old man's words, which indirectly confirmed his suspicions.

He said with certainty, "Grandpa, you sent people to rescue Mu Pianran."

"My grandson is indeed intelligent."

"So you want me to meet the person who rescued her?"

"Yes and no."

"..."

"I've booked your plane ticket for tomorrow afternoon. We'll talk about the rest when you get back."

The last sentence on the other end of the phone was spoken hastily, and the call was abruptly ended.

Si Chengxiao and Gong Ze exchanged a glance, both seeing a complex emotion in each other's eyes.

In the afternoon, Shang Xi disappeared while taking a walk in the manor, accompanied by a man.

Although the weather has been quite cold lately, the sunshine is lovely and feels warm on the skin.

As she stepped onto the cobblestone path, she suddenly turned her head and asked, "Mr. Si, you said I had a nightmare last night, but why do I have no memory of it at all?"

Si Tingye's lips curled up, his expression tender. "Perhaps it's because after we held hands, the beautiful dream drove away the nightmare, so only I remain in your dreams."

This made Shang Xi burst out laughing. "Mr. Si is so shameless. He can say such things without even blushing. It seems I need to remember every word you say from now on."

"Ok?"

"What if you stop saying these sweet words after we get married? Then I'll be at a loss!"
