Begging for Reconciliation

"I think she might have stalked me before?" Xiao Die asked in confusion.

"Not just that," Shen Fu said, "Last time I went to an exhibition with Tu Tu, coincidentally, she and Tu Tu cosplayed as the same character. I almost mistook her for someone else."

"What character did they cosplay?"

"I was a white blood cell, Tu Tu was a red blood cell, and Long Xi Xi was a platelet."

Xiao Die said sourly, "A family of three, indeed~"

Just as he was about to clarify, Shen Fu suddenly thought of something. He pulled Xiao Die away from the balcony.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Fu said seriously, "I remembered something. It was after that exhibition that Brother Tong told me someone was investigating me, and the person behind it was very powerful. He couldn't even find out who it was."

"So?"

"I suspect this young girl is investigating me!" Shen Fu pulled the curtains shut, afraid of being seen by the other party.

"Why?"

Shen Fu smiled mysteriously, flicking Xiao Die's forehead, "Do you think your husband, being this outstanding, wouldn't attract any intentions from other women? Although I'm a married man, some girls like to challenge high difficulty. They don't even care about single people; playing like this is more exciting."

Xiao Die nodded then shook her head, "But looking at her, she seems to have been here already, or are you overthinking it?"

"Didn't you see her carrying a large suitcase? This house is clearly rented temporarily. Although it's said that people who can buy a house here are either rich or noble, some wealthy people who don't live here rent them out to internet celebrities for photoshoots and filming. If one person can't afford it, a group will chip in. This Villa No. 11 is eighty percent chance that's the case."

Shen Fu opened the resident group: "Look, the owner of No. 11 isn't even in the group, probably feels embarrassed."

Xiao Die looked into the group: "Oh, why is there a 'Shen Tai Tai No. 3' now?"

Shen Fu checked the join time: "This is Number 1 inviting Number 3, it's CEO Bai."

Xiao Die pouted: "She and Tu Tu are really ruining your reputation." As if her husband really had three wives and four concubines.

Shen Fu shrugged: "It's fine, anyway, they're all you. I'm willing for my reputation to be ruined in their hands. However, our family only recognizes Mrs. Shen with the surname Bai. I don't know anyone else. This woman is eighty percent chance targeting me, we should stay away."

"Then what if she actively seeks us out?" Xiao Die asked.

"Just be a bit cold, and if necessary, act a bit impolite," Shen Fu said casually, "Looking at this girl, you can tell she's not a good sort."

Xiao Die nodded seriously.

Shen Fu continued: "No eating out tonight, let's order from Imperial Cuisine Restaurant. Also, I'll call Tian Peng over."

"Is something wrong?"

"Hmm, to ask about Chou Qu's situation," Shen Fu said worriedly, "Do you remember I told you about the high school student who was pursuing her? She's probably moved but dared not accept."

Shen Fu recounted the details of last night to Xiao Die, including CEO Bai slandering Chou Qu to avoid being exposed later. Then he went to his study and texted Old Mr. Chen: "Old man, do you know the situation of the owner of No. 11? No one lived there before, and no one was in the group, but now someone has suddenly moved in."

The old man didn't reply immediately, so Shen Fu asked again: "Has the family of No. 11 fallen on hard times? Why are they renting out their ancestral home like this~"

A moment later, Old Mr. Chen replied: "Thank you for your concern, we haven't fallen on hard times yet!"

"What?"

"No. 11 is also mine, any objections!" Old Mr. Chen said irritably.

Shen Fu was stunned: "Then the girl who moved in today is...?"

Old Mr. Chen grew angrier: "Kid, don't forget you're a married man, why are you concerned about someone else's young girl?"

"Can't I be a little curious? Is she your new confidante?"

"Get lost, that girl has to call me grandpa!" Old Mr. Chen typed angrily, "She said she wanted to stay in the capital for a while, so I gave her this house. After all, I have many houses."

"You do have many houses, but why give her the one in this community?" Shen Fu cared about this point, "Did you offer it, or did she ask for it?"

"What if she wanted to live here?" Old Mr. Chen replied, "This entire community belongs to her family."

"What do you mean?"

"Long Tu - Yihe Mingyuan, the first two words are Long Tu," Old Mr. Chen left such a message.

Shen Fu searched online. Long Tu Group, the owner's surname is Ni. Good heavens, she turned out to be a super-rich young lady. Xiao Die was under a lot of pressure now. Shen Fu looked at his innocent wife outside, secretly vowing: I'll always be yours! No other women should even dream of it!

"Old man, when are you coming back?" Shen Fu asked again.

"Friends here keep me for a few more days. I'll go back when I'm bored," Old Mr. Chen replied, then ignored Shen Fu.

As they were talking, Tian Peng arrived, accompanied by Guo Xiao Lin. Specifically, Guo Xiao Lin drove him. Yesterday, Shen Fu saw he only had a finger injury, but today he needed a cane.

Guo Xiao Lin parked outside: "Teacher Shen, I've brought him, I'll be leaving now."

"Oh, why the rush? Xiao Guo, stay for dinner too," Shen Fu said politely, and Guo Xiao Lin stayed, curiously admiring Shen Fu's house. This was a villa worth hundreds of millions!

However, her attention was quickly drawn to He Zie and Bai Hua Hua. Seeing He Zie's skilled sunflower seed shelling technique, she quickly took out her phone to record a video, affirming: "With this skill alone, He Zie will have at least a hundred thousand followers." Then she looked at Bai Hua Hua's pregnant belly: "Teacher Shen, when she gives birth, can I have one?"

Shen Fu: "Sure, but I have to keep one, and give one to Old Master Chen next door because the father cat is from his house. If there are any left, you can have one."

"Thank you, Teacher Shen. What are we cooking tonight? Let me lend a hand."

"No need, the food will be delivered soon, you just need to receive it. I have something to discuss with Tian Peng." Shen Fu helped Tian Peng, who was using a cane, down to the basement gym.

Looking Tian Peng up and down, Shen Fu chuckled, "If there was an award for gaining sympathy, you'd be a master. A severed finger wasn't enough, now you need a cane too?"

Tian Peng wanted to cry: "Brother, I really sprained my ankle, look!" He rolled up his pant leg, his ankle was professionally bandaged. Shen Fu temporarily believed him: "How did this happen?"

"Didn't you tell me to be 'naughty' with Xiao Guo? Last night I invited her to Japanese food, asked her to feed me, then I bit her finger."

"Then she kicked your leg and broke it?"

"Ah, no, but she didn't scold me or refuse, I was so happy that I slipped on the stairs and sprained my ankle."

Shen Fu: "Serves you right!"

Tian Peng then said proudly: "You don't understand, even though I'm injured, Xiao Guo cares about me much more. Now she even has to take care of my daily life. Our relationship has progressed by leaps and bounds!"

Shen Fu shook his head: "As someone with more experience, I think a sprained ankle is not as good as a sprained wrist. If you seize the opportunity, you'll be registering for marriage soon."

"Oh, that magical?"

"You think it over carefully~" Shen Fu said meaningfully. But just as Tian Peng was about to ponder, Shen Fu interrupted: "Actually, I called you here to ask about Chou Qu, but in your state, you probably won't be going to the company anyway, so forget it."

"No, I still go to work," Tian Peng patted his chest, "CEO Qiu, in her condition, still persists in coming to work every day. What's one leg compared to that? Today, CEO Qiu even asked me if I wanted to buy back her old wheelchair, offering me a twenty percent discount."

"Then how's her mood?"

"Didn't notice anything strange," Tian Peng pondered, "Ah, she seems to have cut her hair a bit shorter."

Shen Fu slapped his thigh: "Usually, in this case, it means wanting to forget a relationship."

"What? Since when did CEO Qiu have a boyfriend? Online stuff doesn't count!"

Shen Fu stood up: "You and Xiao Guo at the company, remember to pay more attention to CEO Qiu's love life. I'm very worried about her."

***

At the same time, Chou Qu was about to leave the company. Her bodyguard had just pushed her down to the lobby when she saw a boy who looked like a high school student waiting with a backpack.

"Um, I have a few things to say to you, do you want me to say them here in front of everyone, or in the car?"

Chou Qu was very concerned about saving face. An adult like her involved in a relationship with a student, what kind of impression would that make if people in the building or company staff saw it?

"In the car!" she said through gritted teeth.

Ma Hua Long, riding in a luxury car for the first time, fumbled for a long time, couldn't find the door handle, and had to ask the driver to open it. He sat down next to Chou Qu.

Ma Hua Long said, "I know you don't like fresh flowers, so I didn't buy any this time. Anyway, they're not cheap at all. Even without flowers, my sincerity is abundant."

"I've told you countless times, we're over. Don't you see I deliberately got a new haircut?"

"I saw it, even more beautiful!" Ma Hua Long praised, "I know we've broken up. I came this time to beg for reconciliation. After all, I haven't tasted enough of love's sweetness, but you've already made me taste the bitterness of heartbreak."

Chou Qu wanted to go crazy: "Stop with these cheesy lines."

Ma Hua Long was disappointed: "So you don't like this kind of thing. It's okay, I also know how to cook. How about I bring you a love lunch at the company from now on?"

Chou Qu: "Do you believe I'll push you out of the car right now!"

Ma Hua Long: "Do you believe you're about to stand up?"

At this moment, even the driver in front couldn't keep calm. Chou Qu looked at Ma Hua Long in surprise: "Kid, are you messing with me? Do you know how much money my father spent on my treatment!"

Ma Hua Long: "Probably a lot, but that was before. You will definitely stand up again in the future."

"Hmph, how long is 'in the future'?"

"Within ten years!" Ma Hua Long affirmed, "I told my master about your condition, and he said that within ten years, your illness can be cured."

Chou Qu still didn't believe him, feeling this kid was lying to her: "Do you know what my illness is like? Do you know how many experts at home and abroad were all helpless!"

"I know," Ma Hua Long said calmly, "I hacked into the hospital system to view your medical records, then consulted my master. He said it's definitely correct!"

Looking at the boy's calm expression, Chou Qu's heart pounded. Could it be... she could really stand up again? No! Chou Qu stared at Ma Hua Long: "Your master must be a hacker too, right? What does he know about medicine!"

"My master is indeed a hacker, but he's the world's number one hacker, and his knowledge isn't limited to computer technology. He's truly knowledgeable about everything. When he asked about you, I sent him your pathological report, and he said that as long as you patiently wait ten years, your problem will no longer be a problem..."

Towards the end, Ma Hua Long was excited: "So, can we get back together now, my ex-girlfriend!"

***

At the Shen family home, the dinner party began. Watching Xiao Guo take care of Tian Peng, Shen Fu smiled like an old father.

"Xiao Guo," Shen Fu asked, "What's your father busy with lately?"

"My father is really busy lately," Guo Xiao Lin said with a smile, "Normally he's quite free, but these days he's busy looking for a child. The case was originally handed over to the criminal police, but he still wants to find him himself, because the report was made to him first."

"Oh, a missing child? What happened?" Xiao Die hastily asked. As someone who had once lost a child, she was very concerned about those in similar situations.

"It's a boy. He was originally looked after by his grandparents, but one day he suddenly disappeared, so they reported it to the police station. There are no clues yet, and the criminal police are investigating."

Seeing Xiao Die worried, Shen Fu reassured her: "Don't worry, the capital has cameras everywhere now. Kidnapping children in broad daylight is very difficult. Most likely the child just wandered off. With diligent searching, they'll surely be found."

Guo Xiao Lin shook her head again: "My father said it's highly likely he was kidnapped, but the other party is very sophisticated, so it will take time. But I believe in current professional methods."

Shen Fu also believed so. This was the capital, not a remote area, nor was it decades ago. Solving cases wasn't difficult. But Xiao Die was still worried, what if the child was hurt or something bad happened?

"Xiao Guo, the family must have posted a missing person notice. Can you help me find the information, preferably with a photo and name?" Xiao Die said.

"Yes, my father's friends posted it," Guo Xiao Lin took out her phone, found it, and sent it to Xiao Die.

Xiao Die left her meal unfinished, immediately ran upstairs to ask the Magic Mirror about the child's whereabouts. The Magic Mirror began working. Xiao Die plugged it in to charge before going back downstairs to continue eating.
