When Su Yan left Chi Jingyun's house, it was raining lightly.

She originally wanted to pick Chi Rui up on the way home, but when she called, she discovered that Ruan Liqing and the others were still in Binjiang.

Ruan Liqing had to go to work today, so Su Yan simply went to Nuanyang to wait for her downstairs.

Then I met Ruan Jingbai downstairs.

Su Yan and Ruan Jingbai were relatively familiar with each other, so they greeted each other and chatted for a few words, waiting for Ruan Liqing to come over.

Ruan Liqing was sent here by Shen Zhuo. The car stopped in front of Su Yan. As soon as the car door opened, she heard Chi Rui's cheerful laughter.

She clicked her tongue and walked over to take Chi Rui from Ruan Liqing's hand, "What did your godmother do to make you so happy?"

"How long have you been waiting?" Ruan Liqing got out of the car and teased Chi Rui again.

"I just arrived a while ago. I'm not afraid of disturbing you and Professor Shen, so I came here early."

Ruan Liqing glanced at her clothes and said in a calm tone: "Whether you don't want to disturb Shen Zhuo and I, or you don't want to disturb someone, you know it yourself."

Su Yan paused, but she couldn't talk to Ruan Liqing, so she just made an excuse and ran away.

Before Shen Zhuo left, he asked Ruan Liqing: "Will I pick you up in the afternoon?"

"No need." Ruan Liqing thought for a moment, "I should have something to do in the afternoon, so I'll go back by myself then."

"Going to entertain? Send me the address then."

Ruan Liqing did not agree to Shen Zhuo's request to pick her up. She really had something to do in the afternoon, and she didn't want Shen Zhuo to know about it yet.

When Lin Jie received the call from Ruan Liqing, he was still a little confused.

He said: "I haven't told Shen Zhuo any news about Bai Yu recently, so don't overthink it."

"I know." When Ruan Liqing heard the word "Bai Yu", she couldn't help but pause for a moment. She said, "I have other things to do with you. Can we have dinner together at noon?"

"Is Shen Zhuo coming?" Lin Jie asked.

"He doesn't know, don't tell him, I have something to ask you."

We made an appointment with Lin Jie at a private restaurant. When Ruan Liqing came over, Lin Jie was already waiting.

She nodded, "I'm late because of the traffic jam."

Lin Jie waved his hand: "I understand, so what do you want from me?"

Ruan Liqing kept it secretive and couldn't tell Shen Zhuo yet, which always made Lin Jie feel that it might not be a good thing.

"How much do you know about that house in Binjiang?" Ruan Liqing asked Lin Jie directly without making any further detours.

Lin Jie thought for a moment and realized that what Ruan Liqing was probably talking about was Shen Zhuo's plan to propose.

He hissed, "Why do you ask me this? Didn't you always refuse?"

Lin Jie was actually quite surprised that Ruan Liqing rejected Shen Zhuo's proposal.

After all, he thought that Ruan Liqing and Shen Zhuo should be finally married now.

However, what surprised him even more was what Ruan Liqing said next: "I want to hold a marriage proposal ceremony for him."

"What?" Lin Jie thought he heard wrongly.

Ruan Liqing remained calm and repeated calmly, "I want to propose to him and invite him to marry me."

Lin Jie reacted for a while before coming back to his senses and understanding what Ruan Liqing was talking about.

He looked at Ruan Liqing strangely: "So you rejected Shen Zhuo because you wanted to propose on your own? Mr. Ruan, I really can't understand your hobby."

"It's not what you think." Ruan Liqing interrupted his guess.

When Shen Zhuo proposed to her, she was really not ready, and she couldn't imagine what a family with him would be like.

What's more, there will be family matters blocking it at that time.

But later——

Various events always made her change her mind.

Especially when she was taking care of Chi Rui these two days, she couldn't help but think about how great it would be if she and Shen Zhuo had a child, if they had a little family of their own.

Ruan Liqing is an action person. She thought about it all night last night. When she got up this morning and saw Shen Zhuo making breakfast in the kitchen, she suddenly made up her mind.

What else is there to hesitate about?

Woolen cloth?

Naturally, she would not tell Lin Jie about her thoughts, and would only ask him to help her think of a solution, while hiding it from Shen Zhuo.

Lin Jie agreed wholeheartedly and worked very efficiently, getting what Ruan Liqing wanted that night.

That's a list.

A list of Shen Zhuo’s dreams as a boy.

Ruan Liqing looked at the information on it and couldn't help but smile. She seemed to be able to see the teenage boy Shen Zhuo, with a high-spirited look on his face.

But the time ended when Shen Zhuo was nineteen years old.

The smile on Ruan Liqing's face faded again.

"What are you looking at, so serious?" Behind him, Shen Zhuo finished washing and came in with a cup of hot milk.

Ruan Liqing wants to prepare for pregnancy, so her living habits have changed a lot recently.

Shen Zhuo also supervised her drinking a cup of hot milk every day.

Ruan Liqing turned her head. Instead of taking the milk, she hugged Shen Zhuo's waist and pressed her forehead against his belly.

Her voice sounded a little dull: "Shen Zhuo, why are you so nice?"

Shen Zhuo put down the milk and gently stroked the back of her head, "Why did you say that suddenly? What happened?"

"It's okay." Ruan Liqing said, "I just want to hug you."

"Drink the milk before hugging. It will get cold after a while." He patted Ruan Liqing's shoulder, and Ruan Liqing let go of her hand in embarrassment.

But when she went to bed at night, she couldn't help but shrink into Shen Zhuo's arms.

Ruan Liqing has been very busy these days. She goes to the company early in the morning and stays in the study at night.

Even if Shen Zhuo clings to her, he can't help but feel something is wrong.

The car stopped at Nuanyang Downstairs again. Ruan Liqing kissed him on the chin and was about to get out of the car, but Shen Zhuo caught her.

He grabbed her wrist and said in a gentle tone: "Let's have lunch together, I happen to be here."

Ruan Liqing frowned slightly, "How about I do it next time? I have something to do."

"That night? A new store opened in the East District. It tastes good."

Ruan Liqing still said, "I have to work overtime at night until I am over my busy schedule."

Shen Zhuo's face was slightly cold, but he tried his best to be patient and said: "I asked Ruan Jingbai, Nuanyang is not busy at all during this period, Qingqing, you are lying to me."

Ruan Liqing did not expect that Shen Zhuo would ask Ruan Jingbai. She hesitated and said, "Shen Zhuo, believe me. I do have something to do. I will be fine after this."

Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes, and after a moment he nodded: "Yes."

It wasn't until Ruan Liqing entered the company that Shen Zhuo lowered the window slightly and lit a cigarette.

He looked in the direction of the warm sun, his eyes darkened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ruan Liqing entered the office and looked down from the window, and could still see Shen Zhuo's car parked there.

She paused, then called Lin Jie and told him not to reveal any of her plans no matter what Shen Zhuo asked.
