Mong Si's silence did not dampen Zhu Junqiao's enthusiasm. She stuffed the clothes she had just picked out back into Zhu Junjie's arms and said, "Since you're here, pick out a few more sets. Consider it my wedding gift to you."
Zhu Junjie and Song Lan had already prepared to get a marriage certificate, so the wedding was also promptly arranged. However, now there has been a change of events. The matter of Zhu Junjie and Song Lan getting a marriage certificate has fallen through, at least it has been postponed. As for how long it will be postponed, it depends on the resolution of the grievances between the Zhu Family and Mong Si.
Mong Si looked at the clothes in his arms, stood still for a while, and then entered the fitting room again. This time out shopping, Zhu Junqiao and the other two had a fruitful harvest. Mong Si put all the purchased items into the trunk of the car and handed the car keys to Zhu Junqiao.
Zhu Junqiao didn't go to pick up the keys, "Bro, what do you mean?"
"You can drive yourself home."
"I don't want to!" Zhu Junqiao sat in the back seat, pounding her slender legs, "I've been having a blast with Tong Tong abroad for several days, without getting enough rest, and then I came back to Hai-City. I was planning to come back and get some good sleep, but for some reason, I ended up going out with you. Now my whole body is sore, I look like I've been through a fight, I don't even want to move, and I can fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes.
"I'm this exhausted, can you really trust me to drive back on my own?"
"Just call a chauffeur."
Mong Si's identity had already been revealed, and in his view, there was no longer any need to return to the Zhu Family and engage in pretense with them.
Mong Si threw the car keys to Zhu Junqiao.
Zhu Junqiao acted quickly and grabbed Mong Si's clothes as he was about to leave. "Bro, stop messing around. Haven't you seen the news recently? There was a report about a designated driver taking passengers and..."
"Annoying!"
Zhu Junqiao said the news, and Mong Si has seen it.
He looked at Zhu Junqiao's exhausted face and her pleading eyes, softened, and reached out his hand to Zhu Junqiao.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Zhu Junqiao didn't react at first, until she noticed his gaze on her legs.
Following his gaze, Zhu Junqiao saw the car keys that Mong Si had just thrown onto her legs. She quickly picked them up and handed them to him, saying, "Thanks for being our driver, bro."
Mong Si reached out to help her close the door, then sat in the car and drove Zhu Junqiao and Tong Tong back to the Zhu Family.
"Get off the car!"
"Oh."
Zhu Junqiao is indeed tired.
Although she is open-minded, after all, such a big thing happened at home, she cannot stay out of it, let alone let it go.
These days, Zhu Junqiao accompanies Tong Tong to play during the day, and tosses and turns at night, not resting well, eating little, and losing weight, feeling extremely exhausted.
In the car, she almost fell asleep several times.
As she was about to meet the Duke of Zhou, she remembered the true identity of the person in the driver's seat, and she suddenly became alert. Subconsciously, she knew he wouldn't harm her and Tong Tong, but sometimes she couldn't be completely sure if her intuition was right. What if, in a moment, he harbored ill intentions towards her and Tong Tong?
She was the one who brought Tong Tong out of the Zhu Family, and she needs to bring Tong Tong back safely. She dare not be careless.
Zhu Junqiao finally made it back home after a long wait. She rubbed her eyes, which were sore and red from exhaustion, got out of the car, yawned, and led Tong Tong towards the living room. "Brother, please help me bring the spoils of war over here."
Mong Si pursed her lips slightly.
He originally didn't want to get off the car, planning to drive away directly from the Zhu Family. The things bought at the mall are all in the trunk, Zhu Junqiao doesn't carry them, only he can. Mong Si hesitated for a moment, got off the car, and opened the trunk to get the things.
Later, when the things are brought in, he will leave immediately and won't stay here for a moment longer!
"Junqiao, Tong Tong, you're back!"
Zhu's mother has been worried that Mong Si wouldn't come back. After apologizing to Zhu's father again, she stayed in the living room, occasionally looking towards the door of the villa, waiting for the three of Zhu Junqiao.
When she saw the car driving into the villa's courtyard, her heart instantly jumped to her throat, afraid that the person getting out of the car might not be the one she was hoping for. She sat on the sofa, her fingers trembling slightly. When she finally saw a familiar figure getting out of the driver's seat, her worry turned into joy.
She pressed her hand against the armrest of the sofa, using its force to stand up and go to meet Zhu Junqiao and Tong Tong.
"Mom! I'm hungry, go make me something to eat."
Zhu Junqiao is now both hungry and tired, but she knows that the relationship between Mong Si and the Zhu Family parents is tense. She is now the adhesive and cannot easily go back to her room to sleep. She can only use delicious food to keep herself awake.
"Okay, Mom will go make your favorite dishes for you and Tong Tong." Zhu's mother said as she looked at Mong Si, who was carrying big and small bags walking over. "Child... what do you like to eat?" She knew too little about him, not knowing his experiences, let alone his preferences! She wanted to make something he liked, but didn't know where to start.
Zhu's mother feels deeply guilty towards Mong Si.
Mong Si did not respond. He placed the things he had taken from the car near the sofa and prepared to leave.
"Grandma, I know what my dad likes to eat!"
Tong Tong approached and held Mong Si's hand, "Dad likes to eat braised prawns, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, and boiled fish."
"Grandma, I've noted it down. I'll go make it for you right away."
Tong Tong was talking about what Zhu Junjie likes to eat. Zhu's mother could tell that Mong Si didn't want to talk to her. Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't dare to ask further. She hurried to the kitchen.
Zhu Junqiao yawned again, feeling so tired that a yawn made tears well up in her eyes. "Bro, I can't go on. I'm so tired I could fall asleep standing up. I'll go lie down on the sofa for a bit. You watch Tong Tong first," Zhu Junqiao said, then sat down on the sofa, leaned back, and closed her eyes.
She felt a sense of security with her parents at home, and soon fell asleep after closing her eyes.
"Dad, Auntie Zhu is asleep, can we go read a picture book?" Tong Tong spoke softly so as not to disturb Zhu Junqiao.
Mong Si saw the anticipation in Tong Tong's eyes and couldn't bear to refuse. He followed Tong Tong back to the room. As they passed by the sofa, Tong Tong picked up the thin blanket stacked on the sofa and gently covered Zhu Junqiao with it. Tong Tong's actions reminded Mong Si of himself once again. When he was young, he was obedient and sensible just like Tong Tong. From as far back as he could remember, he wanted to do everything he could to the best of his ability so that his parents would like him.
Things went against his wishes. Even if he did everything perfectly, his foster parents would not be satisfied, they were destined not to like him! After all, they were not his biological parents, there was no blood relationship. The past was like a monster with sharp teeth, constantly gnawing at Mong Si's numb and unconscious heart. He followed Tong Tong back to the room and accompanied her to look at a picture book.
