Chapter 40

Just as Shen Qinglan wanted to get up and go to Shoukang Hospital, Yu Yinghui stopped her.

"Sisi, sit down first. What's going on with you and Young Master?"

I knew she was going to ask this.

"It's nothing, it's just playing together when we were young."

"It's fine...then why did he suddenly come to celebrate your grandmother's birthday? Your father also said that you often go to Sanfang Academy recently to find the young master. You two can't..."

"No!" Shen Qinglan interrupted Yu Yinghui's imagination.

"Mother, I had a little misunderstanding with the young master when we were young. We resolved the misunderstanding some time ago, and now we are just like brothers and sisters."

"You child, the young master is of great character, that dead girl Shen Qingzhi has already married into the prefect's mansion, so you..."

Shen Qinglan quickly got up and ran out the door, "Mother, my son is going to greet grandma first!"

When he went out, Shen Yan was walking towards him.

Before Shen Qinglan greeted him, he reprimanded him: "Girls are already old enough to run and jump, how decent!"

"Father."

Shen Qinglan saluted politely, and Shen Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw her acting uncharacteristically.

This child has become so far away from him.

In the past, whenever he taught Shen Qinglan a lesson, Shen Qinglan always had to answer a few words, but now she just lowered her head silently.

"That's all, you go down, I'll go see your mother."

"Yes."

In the Shoukang Courtyard, Mu Xingze was sitting next to his grandmother, and the two talked about their childhood, laughing constantly.

Shen Qinglan opened the door and entered, just sat down and said hello to them, and after a few words, her grandmother said she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the house to rest and let them take care of themselves.

The scene was suddenly awkward, Shen Qinglan pursed her lips, thinking, as long as I am not embarrassed, it will be someone else who is embarrassed!

"Brother Xingze, are you here to visit my grandmother today?"

Mu Xingze nodded, looked at Shen Qinglan and smiled, "Let's see how you are doing..."

"Didn't we meet the day before yesterday? I'm fine." Shen Qinglan also smiled at him.

"Well, Young Master Liu of the Liu Mansion sent me an invitation yesterday, inviting me to attend the poetry meeting in the future. Do you want to come together?"

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but froze her smile for a moment.

"Brother Xingze, I'm going to go back to Jing'an Academy to attend classes in the future! I'm taking a leave of absence for the past two days because of something at home. After all, I have paid the tuition fee, so it's not good if I don't go."

She originally wanted to drop out of school, but her family refused. They even thought that she was more stable because she went to Jing'an Academy to study!
Although very reluctant, but now it is just an excuse to avoid that bad poetry meeting.

"The poetry meeting is held at dusk, so it won't delay my sister's studies. Besides, my sister is very talented. Many people in the city are spreading gossip about you. Why don't you take the opportunity of these poetry meetings to prove yourself?"

Mu Xingze heard that Shen Qinglan didn't want to attend the poetry meeting last time, but he agreed because he wanted to.

For some reason, today he personally invited her, but she refused.

"The last time I went to the poetry meeting, it was because Qian Lingshuang promised to give me a crane after the poetry meeting. I thought that my grandmother's birthday banquet was coming, and I happened to use the crane as a birthday gift. As for those gossip... I don't care at all. "Shen Qinglan said.

She can tolerate those gossips, but she won't show mercy to anyone who doesn't have eyes and dares to make real calculations.

"So... so..." Mu Xingze was a little disappointed.

"Well, thank you for coming to my grandmother's birthday banquet. She is old and always misses the past. She is really happy that you can come."

"You don't have to be so polite. My grandmother and Mrs. Shen are like sisters. I should have come to say hello to Mrs. Shen on behalf of my late grandmother."

After finishing speaking, Mu Xingze stood up, "Since Mrs. Tai is unwell and needs to rest, I will take my leave first."

Shen Qinglan also stood up, "Then Sisi will see you off."
-
Walking in the garden of Shen Mansion, Mu Xingze pointed to a tall and big sycamore tree and said, "Sisi, do you remember? We used to play under that tree when we were young, and you acted as the princess in the play, but If you want me to act as a servant, if I refuse, you will cry and throw stones at me."

Hearing Mu Xingze mention it, Shen Qinglan's mind flashed the memory fragments of the original owner.

"Well, I still remember that you suddenly picked up a huge stone from the water's edge and wanted to throw it at me, and finally hit your own foot."

Saying that, Shen Qinglan couldn't help laughing.

When Mu Xingze was a child, he liked to show off his abilities very much. He pretended to be able to handle things in front of her when he couldn't lift them. As long as she opened his mouth, he would bite the bullet and do things he couldn't do.

Suddenly, Mu Xingze stopped and walked towards the sycamore tree, and Shen Qinglan followed.

He walked behind the tree and said excitedly, "Look, there are still our engraved characters here."

Shen Qinglan squatted down and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a word "star" and a word "lan" on it, but it was hard to tell apart after a long time.

"Sisi, you have retired now, and I have not married a wife. I know that you are pure-hearted and somewhat rebellious. You also know my temperament. If I want to propose to you, will you agree?" Mu Xingze road.

Faced with his sudden marriage proposal, Shen Qinglan was startled for a moment, then slowly got up, turned her back to him, with mixed emotions in her heart.

Oh my god, I'm about to cry... Is this the benefit of being green tea?
Sure enough, men like green tea.

She originally wanted to rein in the precipice, but she didn't expect that her strength would not allow it?

Seeing that Shen Qinglan remained silent, Mu Xingze felt even more disappointed.

Shen Qinglan clutched her chest, calmed herself down slowly, and asked, "Brother Xingze doesn't dislike Sisi as a merchant girl?"

"How could it be? I have never disliked it! I swear to God, I, Mu Xingze, have never disliked Shen Qinglan's background. If I did, I would fall into a humble status and never stand up!"

Although a little shocked, Shen Qinglan was quite happy, but...

"You and I have very different identities, I'm afraid your family will not agree."

"Then if I can convince my family, would you be willing?"

Mu Xingze walked up to her and looked at her sincerely.

Looking up and meeting his gaze, Shen Qinglan admitted that she was really moved by such clean and pure eyes, such a good family character.But soon, her heart became cold again.

"Although I don't study much, I also know that if virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters. I am not worthy of you, I am afraid..."

Hearing what she said, Mu Xingze stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Her hands were cold, delicate and soft.

"Sisi, I never thought you were not worthy of me. You are the best woman in my heart. You don't have to feel inferior, just trust me. I will protect you, love you, and never let you get hurt. I won’t be like Meng Jingming, who sees things differently and wants to change.”

Shen Qinglan's heart beat fast, his hands and feet felt cold, and his head swelled.

"I... this is too sudden, I have to think about it, Brother Xingze, I won't send you off for now."
