Ji Anan immediately jumped out to defend her brother and said, “My brother is not a bully. He must have had a reason for taking action at the engagement party last night.”

　　Zhou Yang nodded: “I guess so.”

　　He didn’t seem to want to talk about it any more and said, “Let’s go look at the car first.”

　　Ji Anan said “Huh”, pointed to a place not far away and said, “Isn’t that your new brother over there?”

　　Yesterday at the engagement party, Shen Mo also saw Zhou Yang’s illegitimate brother from a distance. Now that he was closer, he really looked a bit like Zhou Yang. However, their temperaments were completely different. Zhou Yang was taciturn, while his brother Zhou Chu was eloquent and acted like a playboy.

　　Zhou Yang didn’t like this brother who had just returned to his ancestral home, and said coldly: “He just returned to the Zhou family not long ago and hasn’t bought a car yet, so he came to take a look.”

　　”Would you like to go over and say hello?”

　　”Ignore him.”

　　Ji Anan didn’t like Zhou Chu, so she took Zhou Yang’s hand and walked forward. Shen Mo felt awkward walking with them, so he simply suggested walking around alone.

　　Ji Anan was still thinking about the “task” assigned to her by Ji Mingxuan, but Zhou Yang said: “Men and women have very different perspectives, so let Shen Mo see for himself.”

　　Only then did Ji Anan agree and left hand in hand with Zhou Yang.

　　Shen Mo remembered that Ji Mingxuan had mentioned buying him a car before, but he had always refused. This time, he thought about it seriously and felt that it would be nice to have a car to get around. Of course, he didn’t need to spend Ji Mingxuan’s money. He had worked for a few years and had some savings, so he could still afford to buy an economical and practical car.

　　Now that he had this idea in mind, Shen Mo began to look at cars attentively. Later, he actually found a suitable one. Just as he was about to sit in to try it out, someone patted him on the shoulder.

　　Shen Mo looked back and unexpectedly it was Zhou Yang.

　　He looked around, but didn’t see Ji An’an. “Where’s Miss Ji?”

　　”She went to the bathroom.” Zhou Yang said, reaching out to grab Shen Mo’s arm and said, “I have something to say to you.”

　　Shen Mo immediately said: “There is nothing to talk about between us.”

　　”Shen Mo…” There were too many people around, so Zhou Yang tried to lower his voice. “I didn’t have to come today. I came here to find you because An An told me you were here.”

　　”Don’t forget, you were engaged to Miss Ji just yesterday.”

　　Zhou Yang’s face suddenly turned very ugly.

　　But he still held Shen Mo’s hand and said, “Let’s talk somewhere else.”

　　Shen Mo didn’t want to quarrel with him in public, so he had to follow him to the emergency exit. When he reached the stairwell, he didn’t want to go any further, so he shook off his hand and asked, “What do you want to say?”

　　Zhou Yang remained silent. He looked at him for a long time with a complicated expression before he said, “Three years ago, when I went abroad…did you have an accident?”

　　Shen Mo’s body stiffened slightly, and after a while he said, “It happened so long ago, I can’t remember it clearly.”

　　”I felt something was wrong when Ji Mingxuan started beating people last night. How could he, such a proud man, go against a bodyguard? Later, I spent a lot of effort to get the information out of my cousin. He said that he had brought people to cause trouble for you.”

　　Shen Mo couldn’t help but clench his right hand.

　　Zhou Yang was already very close to him. He took a step forward and asked, “What happened when I went abroad? I couldn’t contact you after I came back. Where were you at that time?”

　　”Does it make sense to talk about this now?”

　　”Of course! I always thought you broke up with me because you changed your mind, but if…”

　　”If not, what else can we do? Do you want to break off the engagement with Miss Ji? Have you ever thought about why your cousin would come against me when he has no grudge against me?”

　　Zhou Yang was speechless after being asked.

　　Shen Mo suddenly found it funny when he saw him like this.

　　He actually smiled and reached out to help Zhou Yang straighten his collar. This was something he often did when they were close.

　　”You clearly know the reason, but you just don’t dare to admit it. Your parents, at least your mother, has known about our relationship for a long time. She specially sent someone to warn me and told me – never to appear in front of you again.”

　　Zhou Yang’s face turned pale and he asked, “You originally…”

　　”No need to mention the past.” Shen Mo straightened his collar, gently smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt, and said, “Let’s cherish the present. Miss Ji is sincere to you, don’t let her down.”

　　When the accident happened three years ago, Shen Mo was not without resentment in his heart, but now his mentality has calmed down. There are too many love affairs in this world that end without a reason, there is no need to seek death for it.

　　After he finished what he needed to say, he turned around and walked out of the stairwell without caring what Zhou Yang thought.

　　When I reached the exit, I suddenly heard a soft “click”.

　　Shen Mo glanced casually and saw someone leaning against the wall smoking. The man just happened to look up at him. The face looked familiar. It was Zhou Yang’s younger brother Zhou Chu.

　　Shen Mo was secretly surprised. He wondered when he came and whether he heard what he said to Zhou Yang.

　　Zhou Chu was a very outgoing person. He narrowed his narrow eyes and gave Shen Mo a smile.

　　Shen Mo thought about it carefully. There was nothing shameful in his conversation with Zhou Yang, so he didn’t take it to heart. He just nodded as a greeting.

　　After this incident, he lost interest in buying a car, and he just looked around and didn’t like anything. Ji Anan chose a car, but Zhou Yang signed the bill in the end.

　　Although Zhou Yang had something going on at home and couldn’t have dinner with his fiancée, Ji Anan was in a good mood and talked and laughed with Shen Mo all the way. As soon as Ji Mingxuan came home in the evening, she hurried to tell him about this matter.

　　Ji Mingxuan listened with a smile, his tone not without melancholy: “Originally, I wanted to give you a gift, but I didn’t expect that my brother-in-law got it first.”

　　Ji Anan hurriedly pushed Shen Mo out and said, “Brother, if you want to send someone off, send Big Brother Shen off.”

　　Ji Mingxuan then looked at Shen Mo and asked, “How is it? Have you chosen a car?”

　　“I didn’t see anything suitable.”

　　”Then forget it.”

　　Ji Mingxuan’s tone was flat, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

　　Shen Mo used to be most afraid of him being like this, and often worried whether he had offended Mr. Ji. But now he was not afraid anymore, and just looked at Ji Mingxuan’s right hand.

　　Ji Mingxuan had a minor injury on his hand when he beat someone up yesterday. After he came back, Shen Mo applied medicine to him and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a band-aid and put it on. It was unknown if the band-aid was Ji Anan’s, but it had a cartoon character pattern on it. Ji Mingxuan wore it to the company in the morning, but he didn’t expect it to still be on his hand when he came back.

　　Could it be that he also wears this thing on his hand during company meetings?

　　Ji Mingxuan also noticed Shen Mo’s gaze, coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back and said, “Eat.”

　　After dinner, Ji Mingxuan took a shower and when he came out, he had already torn off the band-aid. Shen Mo thought he had thrown it away, but when he brushed his teeth after taking a shower, he found that Ji Mingxuan’s toothbrush cup was different from usual.

　　There was a colorful piece on the originally plain cup. Shen Mo picked it up and took a look. The funny cartoon man on it was the Band-Aid that Ji Mingxuan had been wearing for a day.

　　He couldn’t help but feel moved. He looked at the cup again and again, then put it back in its place silently.

　　Ji Mingxuan didn’t sleep well at night.

　　After turning off the lights, he was still tossing and turning in the bed, as if there was a pea hidden under the mattress, which made Princess Ji’s body bruise all over. He couldn’t fall asleep at all.

　　Shen Mo was a very good sleeper, he could fall asleep as soon as he lay down, but after being disturbed by Ji Mingxuan, he also had insomnia. He was just hesitating whether to count sheep, when he heard Ji Mingxuan call out softly: “Shen Mo…”

　　Shen Mo couldn’t pretend to be asleep, so he could only respond, “Yeah.”

　　”You weren’t asleep?”

　　”not yet.”

　　Ji Mingxuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.

　　The light was a little dazzling, and Shen Mo couldn’t help but raise his hand to block it. In a daze, he saw Ji Mingxuan took out something from under the pillow.

　　Are there really peas?

　　Just as he was thinking this, he saw Ji Mingxuan throwing that thing at him like a hidden weapon, and then said in a nonchalant tone: “It will just gather dust in the garage anyway, so you can take it and drive it as you like.”

　　Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, then he sat up and saw that what Ji Mingxuan had just thrown to him was actually a car key.
