The next day, breakfast time.

Meng Huo was eating noodles in big mouthfuls. Li Qin was very happy to see it: "Eat slowly, don't worry... It's nine o'clock in the high-speed rail?"

"kindness."

Meng Huo nodded. Li Qin's body looked fine. He had plenty of time on the high-speed train at 9:00 in the morning. However, today's breakfast was a specialty noodles from Qingcheng. Li Qin bought it by the way when she went home to visit her relatives a while ago. Meng Huo hadn't eaten this kind of noodles for a long time and felt a little missed.

Unlike him, Alice eats very ordinary.

"By the way, mom... Let's go to Ninghai for the New Year this year!" Meng Huo, who was eating noodles, suddenly said, Li Qin was surprised: "Do you have no holiday during the New Year?"

"No..." Meng Huo glanced at Alice, then said tactfully: "I'm not talking about Manga Island, but Ninghai."

Li Qin was stunned, and she immediately understood what Meng Huo meant - to go to the Meng family for the Chinese New Year this year.

"this……"

She felt panicked. She was not mentally prepared for such a big thing. Li Qin had never had contact with that mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to contact him. The mother-in-law was completely from another world. Although the relationship between the two was mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, one had a noble status and the other was a country girl. No matter how she looked at it, she would definitely be embarrassed after meeting.

"It doesn't matter, she is not what you think..."

Recognizing Li Qin's nervousness, Meng Huo sighed in his heart.

He had always avoided contact between Li Qin and the old lady of the Meng family before, because according to common sense, there would be no good things when they met. The people who the old lady of the Meng family had contacted throughout her life were either rich or noble, and her vision and speaking were different from ordinary people. It was hard to imagine that she would have a common topic with Li Qin.

But recently, as the contact with the old lady of the Meng family deepened, Meng Huo's concerns gradually disappeared.

The old lady did not act as noble as he imagined, just the opposite. She acted like ordinary people. Perhaps because of her age, the old lady would not only show her thunderous side in front of her subordinates. She was like an ordinary old man in front of Meng Huo...

After getting along with her, Meng Huo found that his vision was too small. He had thought that people with that kind of identity would be very arrogant. But in fact, truly noble people would not be arrogant. The old lady has a broad mind. In her eyes, there is actually no essential difference between a billionaire and a country boy.

She can talk about anything and likes simple people - Meng Huo thinks Li Qin and she should be able to get along with each other.

However, this first step is always difficult, especially for Li Qin. It is indeed a huge challenge to face her mother-in-law. Meng Huo began to think about how to persuade Li Qin...

"good."

While he was thinking, he unexpectedly heard Li Qin's response. Meng Huo raised his head in surprise and then saw Li Qin's worried face.

"Anyway, I'll see you sooner or later. I'll accompany you to see you during the Chinese New Year..."

Although she was worried, Li Qin still responded. Meng Huo smiled bitterly again. He almost forgot that his mother's actions were quite strong. Although Li Qin had always been very ordinary and gentle, she really should do something. Her actions were better than many people.

When he was young, he won Meng Huo's father and gave birth to Meng Huo, and then took him alone to work in the county town...

In fact, she is very strong, but it is hard to see on the surface.

Meng Huo was relieved of the verbal talk. After dinner, he and Alice took the bus and left. Alice noticed that the words on the dinner table were strange. However, she saw that the topic could not be touched, so she did not ask Meng Huo on the way to the station. Not only that, the two of them were waiting for the train at the train station and boarded the high-speed rail. They didn't say a word.

Silence accompanied them, Alice didn't speak, and Meng Huo couldn't speak anything.

Yesterday's incident was still recalling in his mind. He had no idea how to treat Alice now. In fact, he couldn't even understand what the relationship between himself and Alice was. If it was a one-night stand, but Alice was still pure, it seemed wrong...

If that doesn't matter, but after Alice's hint, it seems that it's not right...

After Meng Huo speculated that Alice might not have had any relationship with him, he thought that he must apologize and take action to Alice. Although he had not considered how to act, Alice had suffered false guilt for so many years, which was obviously not a harm that could be compensated by just one or two apology.

Meng Huo originally thought so... He had to know the truth first, and then think about how to apologize to Alice.

But because of Alice's last sentence last night, it was so amazing that Meng Huo's head was messy. He couldn't figure out this matter, whether he had anything to do with Alice or not, nor did he understand whether he should apologize to Alice now, or should he just go on like this...

"I wouldn't ask if I had known it."

Meng Huo regrets it now, but this is an unexpected result.

Asking questions is like not asking, and the truth is even more incomprehensible. Alice said that things in this world are either black or white, and Meng Huo completely understood his innocence. He always thought that men and women were either okay or something, but Alice told him that even if there was something, it could turn out to be nothing.

Is this a problem or nothing?

Or...is this another lie from Alice?

Meng Huo couldn't help looking at Alice opposite, and he only saw the side face. Alice was in a daze. She looked out along the car window. In the speeding high-speed rail, the sun shone on her body, making her long golden hair shine slightly, very beautiful.

"What are you looking at?"

As if she noticed Meng Huo's gaze, Alice turned her head and asked.

"No... nothing..."

Meng Huo shook his head and comforted himself in his heart: Forget it, let's do it. He no longer wants to use this question to arouse Alice's disgust. All the past has passed. Regardless of whether Alice made up another lie, it is no longer important. In fact, Meng Huo has already understood the important thing.

"Alice, thank you..." he spoke softly.

Alice picked up the mineral water on the table and looked at him strangely: "Why do you thank me?"

"Thank you for protecting yourself and me that night." Meng Huo said: "In this way, I understand. I don't have to be guilty of you, nor do I have to feel guilty about Shen Jie. I can take another step forward... Alice, thank you for doing what you did to fulfill my wishes and Shen Jie."

Alice's eyes darkened. When she heard this from Meng Huo's mouth, she felt sad and couldn't help but speed up and unscrew the water bottle and started drinking it in big gulp.

"And..." Meng Huo paused: "Alice, I like you very much."

"puff……"

Alice squirted out.

Meng Huo was covered in a straight face. (To be continued...)
