Chapter 613: It’s Not Easy to Pursue a Man with a Soul
“If the old couple knew that their son was thrown off the rooftop just because of this, they would definitely be distressed.” Feng Shanshan sighed.
“Good thing the murderer is finally arrested and brought to justice,” said Mu Qiqi.
“How did you notice the security guard?”
“I flipped through the profiles of the employees but did not see his picture.”
Feng Shanshan gave Mu Qiqi a thumbs up. Then, she received a message from Tang Yan. “Let’s go and visit the old couple later.”
“Just the two of us?”
“You want others to come with us?”
Feng Shanshan did not reply anymore. She felt that this man seemed to try to condition her deliberately and would bring her along to many occasions in private.
“You should go and have a meal with Professor. I need to go out for a bit.” Feng Shanshan put away her phone and told Mu Qiqi.
Mu Qiqi did not even need to think to know who she was going out with.
“Be careful not to play too much with fire or you will be discovered by the people in the police station!”
Feng Shanshan shrugged. She could easily think of a thousand reasons for them to go out together. Why was she afraid of it?
Mu Qiqi herself had a place to go in the afternoon as well. She had not gone to the small villa and not seen her aunt for a long time. Taking the advantage of the free time, she went there.
…
After lunch, Mu Qiqi went to the villa. Knowing that she was coming, Su Zipei put her baby to sleep and prepared some cakes for her in the living room.
“Are you on vacation already?”
“Let me go and see the little baby first.” Mu Qiqi lay on the side of the crib and looked at the sleeping baby with satisfaction. “Aunt, is she easy to raise?”
“Yes, she seldom cries. Just like you when you were a baby.” Su Zipei smiled, exuding the softness and brilliance of a motherhood.
“Aunt, do you still remember Ye Jingcheng?”
Hearing this name, Su Zipei was startled. “I’ve a rough impression of him. He’s not kind to you.”
“He came back from abroad recently and is looking for Mu Tangxue everywhere. He must be blaming me for Mu Tangxue’s disappearance. But don’t worry. I know how to handle this.”
Su Zipei’s face turned cold. “How could he still have the face to trouble you? How many times had he bullied you for Mu Tangxue?”
“Aunt, it’s already pa.s.sed.”
“Does Young Master Sheng know about this?”
“He asked me about it, and I have told him.” Mu Qiqi hugged Su Zipei’s arm. They were still as close as a mother and a daughter. “So, I just wanted to let you know. What if that person tries to hurt people close to me?”
“Don’t worry. I seldom go out now, and your uncle knows how to protect me.” Su Zipei patted on Mu Qiqi’s shoulder.
“Aunt, is my room still there?”
“Of course, it is. Have you forgotten what I said? Your room will always be there. I will keep it for you forever.”
“Actually, I want to do something, so I need your help.” Mu Qiqi’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning bright when she whispered into Su Zipei’s ear. It’s about her plan to give out the ring.
Su Zipei nodded after listening to the plan. “It’s your wish and your happiness. Of course, I will cooperate.”
This was her first home after her ‘rebirth’. It was also the place where her relations.h.i.+p with Sheng Xiao started.
As the starting point, she thought it would be a great place to give him the ring.
And of course, Sheng Xiao did not know about it yet, as it was impossible for him to monitor Mu Qiqi’s whereabouts since she was on vacation.
“When do you plan to let Young Master Sheng come here?”
“Tonight.” Mu Qiqi smiled mysteriously.
…
After a meal, it was a good time to do some light workout to aid digestion.
Feng Shanshan followed behind Tang Yan. Then, they drove to the house of the old couple, bringing along a lot of good stuff.
A house, an old couple.
All their hopes were on Cheng Yunfeng. But now, their hope was completely destroyed.
Seeing Tang Yan, the old woman covered her face and cried. “I thought Officer Tang was just joking. I didn’t expect you to really bring along your girlfriend. Miss, are you really his girlfriend? I’ve seen her before, she’s also a police officer.”
“She’s not a police officer. She’s a forensic doctor,” Tang Yan explained, while moving all the things they bought into the old couple’s house.
“You’ve worked hard in Yunfeng’s matter. Although it’s hard for us to accept it immediately, we still have to live on.”
“Shanshan, there’s one more small box in the car. Go and bring it in.”
Feng Shanshan thought of Tang Yan’s injured shoulder, so she nodded and carried the box in.
“Open it.”
Feng Shanshan crouched down and saw a grey puppy sleeping inside. She carried the little puppy out and handed it to Tang Yan.
Tang Yan handed the puppy to the old woman. “G.o.dmother, this puppy is docile and easy to take care of. It can also help you to guard your house. Moreover, it is loyal and will stay by you and G.o.dfather’s side all the time.”
The old woman looked at the lively thing in her arm and teared up. “Thank you, Officer Tang.”
“I will have people send dog food and other items here regularly. You don’t have to worry about them.”
When Feng Shanshan saw this, she teared up as well. Perhaps this was human compa.s.sion.
She did not know that Tang Yan had such a soft heart.
After visiting the old couple, the two returned to the police station. On the way back, Feng Shanshan stared at Tang Yan’s side face and said, “You somehow could understand their feelings well. Giving them a puppy can divert their attention temporarily.”
“These are just trivial things. They need hope and a driving force to continue living,” Tang Yan answered while driving.
“Do you have moments like that too? Feeling like you can’t live anymore?”
“Yes.”
“You have?”
Tang Yan remained silent and did not continue answering Feng Shanshan’s questions. He did not feel like letting Feng Shanshan know about something yet. More importantly, he had not made her completely fall for him yet. So, he had to remain a mystery man to her.
Feng Shanshan glared at him and cursed. “Stingy man. I won’t go out with you anymore.”
“Whatever,” Tang Yan said nonchalantly. But it was his casual manner that irritated Feng Shanshan.
“You really make people confused. You neither let me be too far from you nor too close to you. You don’t let me be too nice or too bad to you. What do you want really?”
After hearing Feng Shanshan’s complaint, Tang Yan chuckled for her remark. It was quite true. So, he replied.
“It’s not easy to pursue a man with a soul.”
“Who’s pursuing you?” Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes.
