ght was soft, highlighting the smooth lines of his straight back. Shu Tinglan couldn't help but feel her mouth dry again. He had sweated a lot just now, feeling sticky and uncomfortable."I'm going to...Han Li held the rope of the Money-attracting Cat in his hand and walked from the floor-to-ceiling window to him: "I didn't let Auntie take this rope away. Keep it as a memento."

She stood before him, handing him a rope. Jiang Mu sat and took the rope, naturally gripping her hand as well. The connection wasn't completely severed, at least not between her and Doujin, Zhacai... there were still countless threads binding them together.

"How are you doing" Han Li asked, his concern evident. At his own home, he allowed himself to show a hint of his true emotions.

He nodded, "It's okay."

Han Li wanted to spend more time with him, but after glancing at the time, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to pick up Han Zhao Yi." Usually, she could have brought Han Zhao Yi to the villa, but since Zhaocai had just left, she was afraid he would ask questions.

"I'll go with you." Jiang Mu put the leash aside and got up to walk with her to the garage.

On the way in the car, Han Li only remembered that he had gone to find him this afternoon for the house. "That, I heard from Cheng Shao Fan about the house."

Jiang Mu was taken aback, but he didn't deny it. He admitted frankly: "I wanted to give it to you, but I presume you wouldn't want it. That set of apartments should be the best in the community. You and Zhao Yi would be comfortable living there."

"Actually, you don't have to lower the price for me," she said. She knew he was protecting her pride, so she didn't point out that it was him at the time.

"You should believe that your boyfriend's financial situation is still decent, just a bit lower. I would rather give you a whole set directly."

If it was just handed over, the meaning would be completely different. But he stayed within his boundaries and never thought about intruding into her life recklessly.

Han Li heard him say again that his economic conditions were decent, and she found it amusing. Taking advantage of the slightly relaxed atmosphere, she asked, "Then you, with your decent economic conditions, why have you set your sights on me"

Jiang Mu glanced at her: "What do you think"

"Not clingy Independent Financially stable Good-looking Have a good figure"

When I said the last two items, I even laughed at myself. These two items are just not good enough. No matter how pretty or well-built they are, they can't compare to a girl in her early twenties.

She chuckled softly, and Jiang Mu smiled back: "What I said is the truth, so it wouldn't be difficult to fall for you, would it"

Just as Han Li was about to say his answer wasn't sincere enough, he heard him seriously reply: "You're right about those points, I admit it. But they are bonus points, not essential ones, because there are plenty of girls around me who have these qualities."

"What is necessary then"

"The feeling, having feelings for you, that's a necessity." On a larger scale, it's like a mutual attraction magnetic field, maybe even something mystical.

For example, if he saw other women, like Vivian, he would only think of them as friends; but when he saw her, he would think about extra things between a man and a woman, wanting to kiss and hug her. This is very mysterious and can't be described specifically.

Hàn Lì said, "I thought you guys would be more practical about finding a significant other."

She returned to the issue of mutual benefit, a practical one.

Jiǎng Mù: “Reality is already too cruel, so in this aspect, we need to allow ourselves to follow our feelings.”

His financial situation now allows him to pursue more lofty goals.

After answering Hanli's question, he suddenly asked back, "What do you like about me"

This was also his first time asking her this question.

Jiang Mu was a little surprised. In fact, he had a cold personality. The few girlfriends he had dated in the past all gave him the same evaluation: cold.

He wasn't someone who was naturally comforting or reassuring, but Hanli genuinely found it easy to be around him. They had clear boundaries, didn't pry into the past or future, and simply enjoyed each other's company in the present moment. That was enough.

Perhaps she was a cold-hearted person by nature.

As they were talking, they arrived at the kindergarten entrance.

Seeing Zhao Tingxing was also waiting at the kindergarten gate to pick up Han Zhaoyi, Han Li turned around to go back in the car. He came to pick him up, so let him pick him up.

But a step late, Zhao Tingxing saw her and Jiang Mu, and Han Zhaoyi also came out and saw them.

Two men, one tall and one short, looked over at me at the same time.

Han Zhaoyi happily ran over, calling out "Mom" and "Dad, Zhaocai".

Jiang Mu reached out and rubbed his hair, feeling a slight pang in his heart at the nickname "Dad."

Zhao Tingxing also walked over and, for the first time ever, politely extended his hand to greet Jiang Mu, "Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you."

"Hello." Jiang Mu also extended his hand and shook it.

His strangeness made Han Li feel puzzled, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, wanting to see what unexpected thing he would do next.

But Zhao Tingxing always maintained that demeanor. Looking closer, you'd notice his attire had changed as well. While he used to dress in suits with an air of rebelliousness, now he wore more conservative clothes, and his entire being seemed calmer.

Helen shifted her gaze and looked down at Helen's brother, asking, "Where are you going I'm heading home with Uncle Jiang."

Han Zhaoyi glanced at Jiang Mu, then at Zhao Tingxing, and said, "Zhao Tingxing and I are going to live in the new house."

The new house is the one Zhao Tingxing bought for him.

Why does Zhao Tingxing live here

It's unclear whether Zhao Tingxing was playing tricks on Han Zhaoyi, or if Han Zhaoyi was the one tricking him.

The incident stemmed from Han Zhaoyi asking Zhao Tingxing to buy a dog. Zhao Tingxing replied, "Staying in a hotel, you can't keep a dog."

Han Zhaoyi immediately said: “That big house from before could be raised.”

"That's the house I bought for you and your mother."

"Mom now has her own house, she doesn't live in your place anymore. So you can move in with me and the dog there."

Being in agreement with Zhōu Zheng and Zhào Tíngxing's plan, she immediately decided to move in.

Han Li had no opinion on where Han Zhaoyi wanted to live. She gave him complete freedom in this regard and would not forbid their interactions because of the poor relationship between herself and Zhao Tingxing.

Zhao Tingxing took Han Zhaoyi away, and before leaving, he said to Jiang Mu: "Mr. Jiang, I'm also planning to change cars in a few days, and I'd trouble you to recommend some to me."

Jiang Mu: "Good, contact me anytime."

"Then add me on WeChat first, I'll contact you when I'm done in two days." Zhao Tingxing took out his WeChat QR code and handed it to Jiang Mu.

Zhao Tingxing glanced at her: "Are you sure you want to contact us and become our mouthpiece"

Jiang Mu pulled Han Li behind him, scanned the QR code with his phone to add a friend, and said: "Mr. Zhao, I'll push our store manager's WeChat to you later. Welcome to visit our store anytime to choose a car."

Jiang Mu has always been polite and well-mannered.

Due to Han Zhao's presence, Han Li could only endure and not speak much. She felt that Zhao Tingxing was obviously a provocative behavior, childishly so.

Zhao Tingxing left with Han Zhaoyi in a smiling manner; Han Li also got into the car to go home. As soon as he got in the car, he received a message from Zhao Tingxing: "I'll help you look after things so that you won't be cheated and pay for other people."

Given Han Li's understanding of Zhao Tingxing, he certainly had more to it than that.ld on for even a few seconds before giving in, and mumbled, 'Yes.'"After all, Lu Kuo had always been her dream, and he finally came.Although I couldn't see Lu Kuo's expression, I could feel that he su...
