C1054 At the Beginning of the Settlement
"Miss, didn't you once say that life is short and that it is only right when the time comes? Since the past is in the past, there is no point in dwelling on it too much. Don't you think so? Furthermore, you are carrying Young Master Mu's child in your womb. This means that fate cannot be separated from you."
Uncle Ming always liked to keep his mouth shut about fate. He was a person who believed in karma.
"Uncle Ming, this is different" Sheng Yan looked out the window. After a while, she said, "Even if you want to put it down, the prerequisite for everything is that Big Brother comes back safe and sound, and can reunite with me without shackles."
...
Sheng Yan had heard that pregnant women tend to be sentimental. At that time, she did not think much of it when she heard about it, but now she had experienced it a little.
The hormone secretion forced her to be sentimental, to the point that she did not even have the mood to think about what to eat for dinner.
Uncle Ming made dishes according to Sheng Yan's taste in the past.
Sheng Yan did not like to eat coriander, but she liked to eat stewed beef with coriander. She felt that stewed beef without coriander flavors to raise the freshness lacked a soul.
Mu Qichen picked out the coriander from the stewed beef one by one. He was very patient.
"Are you full?" Mu Qichen had just finished picking the coriander when he saw Sheng Yan put down her chopsticks.
Sheng Yan coldly replied, "Yes." Her mood was not good, and her appetite was also not good.
Mu Qichen frowned. She had eaten too little.
He knocked on the table and caught Sheng Yan's attention. "Eat more. I'll tell you about ShengJiyang after eating."
Sheng Yan's eyes lit up. "How's big brother?"
"It is still considered good news." Mu Qichen picked up a piece of beef for Sheng Yan. "I'll tell you after eating it."
He was like a candy falling in front of her, tempting her to listen to him.
Sheng Yan picked up the chopsticks again without hesitation and picked up the beef and put it into her mouth. She quickly chewed and swallowed it, then looked at Mu Qichen with eager eyes.
That gaze was like a cat waiting to be fed, urging its owner to hurry.
Mu Qichen wanted to laugh for a moment. He did not know whether he wanted to laugh at Sheng Yan's cute appearance or laugh at how he could do nothing about her.
"Eat more." This time, he did not pick any food for her. "Choose what you like and eat at least ten chopsticks. Eat until you are full."
Uncle Ming cooked more than ten dishes. There wasn't much of each dish.
After about five minutes, Sheng Yan put down the chopsticks.
"I've finished eating." It just so happened that there were ten chopsticks. There wasn't even a second more.
Mu Qichen said helplessly, "Waiter, even the children in the kindergarten are more obedient than you when it comes to eating."
"Where's brother?" Sheng Yan asked.
"ShengJiyang is not in the list of casualties caused by the plane accident."
Sheng Yan was just about to heave a sigh of relief when she heard Mu Qichen say, "But he might be missing."
... "Other than casualties, shouldn't the remaining people be on the list of missing people?" Sheng Yan's heart was raised again.
"The Cyril family did not announce the names of the members on the plane, or it could be said that some of them were confidential."
Mu Qichen did not tell Sheng Yan. From Ansley's reaction, it seemed that Sheng Jiyang was most likely safe and sound. He might even be doing other things for Ansley to clear out those who were not obedient.
Anyway, it was all his speculation. It was not the information that he had found out. It was not a lie to not tell Sheng Yan. Right?0
It was not rare for big families to keep the name list of the members on the private jet confidential.
Sheng Yan looked at the table worriedly and could only pray that her brother did not board the plane.
No matter what, it was a good thing that her brother was not on the casualty list.
"Thank you, Mu Qichen."
Mu Qichen was stunned and looked at Sheng Yan in shock.
She... she was thanking him?
How could she...
Sheng Yan received the news that she wanted. After thanking him, she directly went upstairs to her room.
"Sheng Yan..." Mu Qichen chased after her a few steps.
Sheng Yan waved her hand. Obviously, she did not want to continue talking to him, but after a pause for two seconds, she said, "When you tell me more about brother, I will still say thank you."
Mu Qichen stood where he was and watched Sheng Yan disappear on the stairs.
After a long while, he laughed at himself.
"Thanks for fishing me, tsk." Mu Qichen's usually cold and indifferent face melted like snow. He was full of gentleness. "Mu Qichen, this is all you have."
This was all she had. Sheng Yan took the initiative to thank him and almost made him reveal his trump card.
-
Sheng Yan did want to stay away from Mu Qichen when she chose the room.
However, objectively speaking, the three bedrooms seemed to have been prepared for her by Mu Qichen.
All the bedsheets were made of silk that she favored. The curtains in the room had been changed to two layers. One layer of cloth with good light and the other layer of gauze with poor light. It was convenient for her to choose, even if she was no longer afraid of the darkness.
After Sheng Yan chose the room, the maid brought a set of English afternoon tea and a few sofas to the balcony.
- This was Sheng Yan's habit in the past. She sat on the balcony in the afternoon and basked in the sun while eating snacks.
Even if Sheng Yan had a problem with Mu Qichen in her heart, she had to admit that he had taken good care of her.
Sheng Yan lay on the bed, her mind replaying Uncle Ming's words. Finally, the scene was fixed on the scene of her thanking Mu Qichen.
Her mouth refuting Uncle Ming's words had actually been affected by Uncle Ming's words.
It was as if fate had decided. She had only mentioned her brother to Uncle Ming during the day, and Mu Qichen had come to tell her about her brother at night.
"Baby, are you influencing Mom?" Sheng Yan asked unhappily as she touched her flat belly.
