Chen Mengyao looked at him in confusion: "Before? We haven't seen each other before, right? Don't look like you know me very well. My mother doesn't know me so much..."

Ye Junjue didn't answer, but just looked at her quietly.

As she looked at each other, Chen Mengyao's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat. Why did she think these eyes are so familiar? That feeling is so unreasonable, as if... they really knew each other a long time ago. She subconsciously raised her hand to remove the mask from his face, but he kept avoiding it: "My face has not recovered yet, I am afraid that I will scare you. I will let you see enough when I return to China next time."

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Chen Mengyao lowered her head: "Sorry... you only looked at me for the last time when you invited me to dinner. This time, too? It's really 'invited me' to dinner, and the literal meaning is perfect..."

Ye Junjue refused to comment and agreed to her statement.

Chen Mengyao is not a fool, and I also remember Jing Shaoqing told her that a man was definitely intimate with a woman. She asked Ye Junjue openly: "What's your idea? From the beginning, I gave me wine in the bar, and later I found out clearly, I helped me solve the problem of Shi Donghai. I invited me to dinner again and again. What do you want to do? I wonder if your subordinates have made me green?"

Ye Junjue was very calm: "I heard a little, but Li Chun and Jing Shaoqing have known each other for a long time. Before you, you know this very well. I can't control the private affairs of the people under my command. If I even care about this, I will be so busy that I don't even have time to 'repair' my face. If you speak, I can quit the person immediately."

Chen Mengyao said expressionlessly: "No, I'm not familiar with you. It doesn't matter who you use to do it, and I don't have the right to speak up. Besides... it doesn't matter to me now. I don't have much appetite. Since you don't eat it, I'll leave first. By the way, the wine is good."

Ye Junjue was still the same as last time and did not try to keep him: "Like it? I'll give you a bottle, promise me, take it back and taste it slowly, don't pour it all in one go, it's too wasteful."

The two looked at each other and smiled and came out of the manor. Chen Mengyao looked at the red wine in her hand and felt a little depressed. She was unknowingly surrounded by Ye Junjue. She obviously wanted to ask him why he was approaching her, but she still couldn't get the answer.

When she returned home, she put the red wine on the shoe cabinet while changing her shoes. Jiang Ling heard the noise and looked out from the living room: "Where have you been? You have gone to find a job? It's time for the Spring Festival now, so don't be anxious about finding a job. You must be in a bad mood recently. You must have a good rest for a while and wait for the Spring Festival. Who gave you the wine?"

She walked to the sofa and sat down: "If you like it, take it to drink it."

Jiang Ling picked up the red wine and glanced at it, and immediately widened her eyes: "Who is it?! Is it your...that that? Could it be that you broke off the engagement because of your cheating, right? Apart from Wen Yan, who is so generous to give you such expensive wine?"

Chen Mengyao now knows why Ye Junjue asked her to take the wine home and taste it well, so that she would not drink it all at once. She also said that drinking it is a waste of resources. It seems that it is because... it is expensive!

She took a deep breath: "Mom, please don't talk about the past, okay? I didn't cheat, it's over, don't say anything more. If you like that wine, just drink it yourself, let me be quiet for a while..."

Jiang Ling shut up in a sensible way, but she was not willing to drink the bottle of red wine and carefully put it away.

...

It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and every household was having the New Year's Eve dinner. Mu Zhai, at Wen Yan's request, Butler Lin and Liu Ma sat down at the dining table. For her, these two were all with her family since childhood.

As usual, she received the "red envelopes" and blessings from Chen Han. Listening to the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside, she suddenly felt that this year was a little different from the past. It was not easy to say what was different, maybe it was much warmer.

After replying to Chen Han's message, she raised her eyes and frowned at Mu Tingchen: "I don't know how my grandma is doing. I'm so worried that I can't contact you. Logically speaking, Wen Zhiling and the others wouldn't be so calm, and they haven't moved for so long..."

What Mu Tingchen has always been worried about is still happening. Wen Yan thinks of grandma every time he goes on any festival. Every time he has to find a way to lie: "Isn't it okay if there is no movement? That means grandma is doing well, and Wen Zhiling and the others are also good to her..."

Butler Lin also echoed: "Yes, madam, don't worry. Now you have to take care of your baby. When the child is born safely, everything is easy to say."

Wen Yan sighed: "Okay..." When the child was born, it was summer. It was still windy and snowy outside. No matter how you look at it, it was still very far away.

After dinner, Mu Tingchen accompanied her to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom and looked at the fireworks. Because the land of Mu's house is quite high, his vision is relatively wide and he can see all the beauty blooming in the city in the distance.

In this situation, she thought of Chen Mengyao and Jing Shaoqing: "It's a pity that Yaoyao and Jing Shaoqing... I thought they could walk to the end together. I haven't seen Yaoyao for a while, and Jing Shaoqing didn't move. Their personalities are really... as soon as they part, they are completely without leaving any room. I'll go call Yaoyao."

As she said that, she turned around and walked aside. When the phone was connected, Chen Mengyao's tone sounded very pleasant: "Happy New Year~! I'm in the square outside to set off fireworks with my mother. You can't come out. What a pity, we will be able to celebrate the New Year together next year, and there is a little guy."

Wen Yan still didn't dare to mention Jing Shaoqing: "Well...yes. What are you doing recently? You don't come to me, are you busy looking for a job? What are you planning after the New Year?"

Chen Mengyao had already arranged it: "I haven't been looking for a job recently, so I just stayed at home and didn't want to go out. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger now. I'm afraid that I will disturb you often and rest. Mu Tingchen won't hate me so much? I discussed with Lin Sa and went to work in his company after the New Year. After all, Anya is there, and I have a companion. Don't worry, I'm fine, it's very good."

No matter whether she pretended to be so optimistic or not, Wen Yan didn't want to expose it: "That's good, then you can play slowly and get rid of it first."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan sent a New Year red envelope to Chen Mengyao and An Ya each for a festive celebration and greetings. She couldn't go out, so she had to do this.

When she turned around and looked at Mu Tingchen, he was sending messages with his mobile phone, and Lin Sa and Jing Shaoqing's voices were released outside. She felt a little sad. She had just been on the phone with Chen Mengyao, and Jing Shaoqing was also chatting with Mu Tingchen. In such a small world, Chen Mengyao and Jing Shaoqing had no relationship anymore.
