After sending Su Yan away, Ruan Liqing was also a little hesitant to go to Suzhou to have a look.

After Ruan Yuancheng's operation, she kept saying that she wanted to go and see it, but it was delayed until now because of work.

Not long after Ruan Yuancheng had only finished the operation, he wanted to be discharged from the hospital and return to Yunzhen, but Ruan Liqing asked Ruan Jingbai to forcibly stop him and let him recuperate in Suzhou for a while longer.

Ruan Liqing looked at the recent arrangements and arranged the current work, so that she could spare two or three days next week.

She called Mo Lan and said that she was going to go back to Suzhou, but Mo Lan did not refuse, but added, "What about him?"

Who he refers to is understood by both sides.

Before Ruan Liqing could speak, she heard Moran say again: "It's okay to come here, just thank you in person, thanks to the expert he contacted, your father's operation was so successful."

Ruan Liqing's words that came to her mouth could only be swallowed back, she nodded, "Okay, I'll ask him."

Moran sighed, she smiled bitterly and said, "The old man said well, fate is twists and turns, no one can figure it out, you and him, torture each other and help each other, alas!"

"Counting A-Jing and your father, he has already done our family a great favor twice."

Ruan Liqing frowned slightly, "Mom, don't worry, I'll find a way to pay him back."

She looked down at her toes, and her voice was soft, "It's a big deal, I'll give him the warm sun."

Moran said, "Silly boy, we mean, since there is so much involved, and you can't tell who owes whom, you just don't care about it."

"That's it, it's good to live slowly." After she had finished speaking, she paused before she said, "If he wants, he can come back to the house and sit down again."

Ruan Liqing was a little stunned by Mo Lan's words, and she knew that she had already sat in the driver's seat, so she eased up a little.

Moran's meaning was obvious.

Ruan Liqing lowered her eyes, but what she thought about was the disappointment in Shen Zhuo's eyes when she was in Binjiang that day.

Shen Zhuo hadn't contacted her in the past few days, and she hadn't taken the initiative to look for him.

Ruan Liqing sat in the car for a while before driving directly to the Shen Group.

She called Shen Zhuo downstairs, but she didn't answer there, and let the phone ring until it was automatically hung up. Ruan Liqing's eyebrows were slightly twisted, and then she opened the door directly and got out of the car.

The people in the company already knew her and let her go upstairs.

Ruan Liqing stopped at the Secretariat and asked, "What about Shen Zhuo?"

Tan Chao happened to be there, and he was a little surprised when he saw Ruan Liqing, but he still answered truthfully: "Mr. Shen is in a meeting, do you want to go to his office and wait for a while."

Ruan Liqing's eyebrows raised, "Okay."

Shen Zhuo's office is very simple, except for the necessary furnishings, there are only two pots of green plants left.

It looks a little shabby.

Ruan Liqing stood still at his desk, her eyes fell on the brand-new fountain pen on the table, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"When did you come?" As soon as she picked up the pen, Shen Zhuo pushed the door in and strode towards her.

Ruan Liqing put down the pen, "I didn't call you for a long time, and I didn't answer your call."

"My phone is dead." Shen Zhuomei couldn't hide the tiredness in his heart, and his dark pupils looked at Ruan Liqing, a little more gentle. "There's a new project lately, so I'm a bit busy."

Ruan Liqing said, "I know, I just came to have a look, I wanted to ask you for dinner, if you are very busy, forget it."

She hooked the corners of her lips and looked at Shen Zhuo for a long time.

"Where to eat?" Shen Zhuo drove, and Ruan Liqing sat in the co-pilot and heard him ask.

Ruan Liqing looked at her phone, "Whatever, it's okay."

"Then go home, I'll do it for you."

Since Shen Zhuo returned to his home, Ruan Liqing hadn't bought vegetables, so they went to the nearest shopping mall first.

Ruan Liqing followed behind him, watched him choose ingredients in a serious manner, and suddenly said coldly, "You and my mother probably have a lot of topics to talk about, and she is also very good at buying vegetables."

Speaking of the Ruan family, Shen Zhuo's eyes dimmed slightly.

He can actually understand why Ruan Liqing would reject him.

The Ruan family doesn't support them being together, even if he is sincere now, but he has too much black history in the past, and there is really no way to convince them.

He exhaled slowly, "Qingqing, I—"

"The next time you go to my house, I'll take you to visit the vegetable market in the town, which is all home-grown organic vegetables, you shouldn't be so picky, right?"

As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Ruan Liqing.

She casually threw a box of blueberries into the shopping cart from the side before looking up at Shen Zhuo, "What did you just want to say?"

Shen Zhuo was silent for a moment, "It's nothing."

Ruan Liqing looked at his expression and sighed, "My mother asked me to take you back."

Shen Zhuo stayed in place for a while before he realized what she said, he raised his eyes impressively, and the already dark pupils brightened up instantly.

It was as if the stars hidden inside were all lit up together.

His voice trembled unconsciously: "Really?"

Ruan Liqing deliberately made a cold face, "Don't you have my mother's phone, if you don't believe it, call her yourself."

"There is no disbelief." Shen Zhuo's eyebrows curled, and he suddenly laughed, "I just didn't expect it, a little surprised."

After all, he thought that if he wanted to impress Mo Lan and Ruan Yuancheng again, it would probably take a long time.

Ruan Liqing hadn't seen Shen Zhuo's heartfelt smile for a long time. She coughed twice and couldn't help muttering, "As for it?"

Ruan Liqing and Shen Zhuo returned to Nanda's apartment.

When Shen Zhuo was cooking, she looked at the recent work schedule in the study, and when the meal was ready, she had already arranged the latest schedule with Luo Wen.

She put away her mobile phone and went out, Shen Zhuo took off her formal coat and changed into a gray home clothes, looking a little gentle and homely.

Ruan Liqing was thundered by her own adjective, and couldn't help laughing.

Shen Zhuo's eyebrows moved slightly: "What are you laughing at?"

"No, I just remembered a sentence." Ruan Liqing went to wash her hands before sitting back, looked at Shen Zhuo's eyes, and said word by word, "Professor Shen of IKEA."

Shen Zhuo looked at her with dark pupils, leaned down slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Then when will you bring me back to your house, Mr. Ruan, who makes money to support his family?"

Ruan Liqing took the chopsticks in his hand for a moment, and then replied to him with a smile: "Eat soft rice so reasonably?"

Shen Zhuo couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple when he looked at the smile in her eyes, and his gaze stayed on Ruan Liqing's somewhat moist lips.

He hummed in a calm voice, "Qingqing is so powerful, it's my honor to eat some soft rice."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the back of Ruan Liqing's head with one hand and kissed it directly.

Ruan Liqing was caught off guard by him, and her hands could only subconsciously hook his neck.

However, her action was more like encouraging him, and Shen Zhuo's strength inevitably became a little heavier, and she forcefully took away the oxygen in Ruan Liqing's mouth.
