Chapter 50 - Walking the Garden

Everyone at the table looked at Shen Mu Qiao and Lu Ting You showing their love to each other, but Old Lady Shen did not say anything. She could only sigh, as for Shen Mu Qiao's granddaughter, she did not want to say anything.

An awkward and weird dinner came to an end. Old Lady Shen left the Main Hall first, and the others left as well.

The Shen Family held reservations towards Qin Ruo Chu, and every one of them glanced at Qin Ruo Chu before they left. Qin Ruo Chu faced them calmly, ignoring the contempt and disdain in their eyes.

"Ice Mountain Beauty, let's go. We can have coffee together next time …" Shen Shu Zhou acted like a dissolute young lord, throwing the car keys one by one as he talked to Qin Ruo Chu, smiling at him with a gaze that made Qin Ruo Chu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She didn't like to talk to such a frivolous person. Furthermore, Qin Ruo Chu had the nagging feeling that this frivolous man who didn't have a single word to say seemed to be hiding something deeper than what he appeared to be.

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? Ignore him, he's the most annoying …" Shen Mu Qiao held Qin Ruo Chu's hand, and said while looking at Shen Shu Zhou's back as he left.

Qin Ruo Chu was not interested in Shen Shu Zhou's identity, nor did he want to know anything about him.

"Are you full?" Qin Ruo Chu raised his eyebrows and asked Shen Mu Qiao. Coincidentally, Shen Mu Qiao burped and patted his round belly, "I'm full, I'm so full …"

Qin Ruo Chu was amused by Shen Mu Qiao's expression. Thinking back to how she had eaten more than Qin Ruo Chu and Shen Mu Sheng at the dining table, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She didn't expect Shen Mu Qiao to be able to eat so much despite looking skinny.

"Sister-in-law …" Are you laughing at me? " Shen Mu Qiao responded half a beat slower as he spoke.

's IQ slowly grew bigger and lower as her stomach fell. Now, even she had reacted to Qin Ruo Chu's obvious joke for a long time.

Qin Ruo Chu could not hold back and laughed, "Nope, I was just joking …"

Shen Mu Qiao did not really argue with him. He smiled and was about to pull Qin Ruo Chu to the flower garden for a walk.

"Let's go. I just finished eating. My stomach is already full. Let's go for a walk in the garden …" Shen Mu Qiao said to Qin Ruo Chu as he held onto his arm.

Qin Ruo Chu naturally agreed, "It's just right, when I was taking a walk in the garden during the day, I was thinking that the scenery at night would be even more beautiful. It's just right, let's go take a look now …" With that, Qin Ruo Chu pulled Shen Mu Sheng's hand.

Shen Mu Sheng had originally planned to return to his room after eating dinner to take care of his work, but seeing how interested Qin Ruo Chu was, he agreed.

After all, Qin Ruo Chu was still young, and was around the same age as Shen Mu Qiao. At this moment, he had already left the two boring men at the back and continued to chat in the front, enjoying the night scenery.

Shen Mu Sheng and Lu Ting You walked behind the two little girls and leisurely followed, maintaining a distance of less than ten meters away from each other. This way, he would be able to observe their little women and chat about things that he didn't need to let these little women know about.

For example, business matters, "I've already investigated this incident. As for the matter … "It has something to do with Second Uncle, but I haven't found out what it is yet. I'll need time …"

Lu Ting You's gaze was still fixed on Shen Mu Qiao who was ten steps away, speaking indifferently, the topic of Qin Ruo Chu's sudden appearance in the garden that was forced to cut off, was suddenly brought up once again.

"En, I'm not surprised he intervened in the slightest …" Shen Mu Sheng said with an equally indifferent tone.

Shen Mu Sheng narrowed his cold eyes, "I was already prepared a long time ago, it's just that the timing is not right, and I have to be one hundred percent confident that I would make a move … As for this girl … " Speaking of Qin Ruo Chu, Shen Mu Sheng's gaze softened a little.

"Even though she looks weak on the surface, her heart is extremely strong. Too much is not enough yet, but I feel that after going through some things, she will definitely grow a lot. Perhaps … "You can become the person beside me …" Shen Mu Sheng said, and then he stopped talking.

Lu Ting You was surprised to hear Shen Mu Sheng's words, and turned to look at Shen Mu Sheng, "You're being serious?" Shen Mu Sheng looked back at him but did not reply. Instead, he continued to follow the figure in front of her.

"..." Are you serious? " Shen Mu Sheng retracted his gaze. He had once thought about this before, but … If he didn't get a good result, perhaps he wouldn't dare to be too concerned about it now.

While they were talking, they had unknowingly reached the depths of the garden. They could faintly hear some sounds.

As Qin Ruo Chu and Shen Mu Qiao were speaking, they did not pay any attention to them. On the other hand, Shen Mu Sheng and Lu Ting You, the two with extremely good hearing, could already tell, but they did not have much of a reaction, only continuing to walk forward.

While speaking, Qin Ruo Chu heard the clear sound of a bowl or plate breaking.

The smile on Qin Ruo Chu's face froze, "Err … "Did you hear anything?" The sound of porcelain breaking was followed by the sharp sound of a woman's voice. If the sound of a broken bowl could be ignored, then they couldn't ignore the clear sound of a quarrel because it was too clear.

"Someone seems to be arguing …"

Qin Ruo Chu was startled, and then said. Only now did Shen Mu Qiao realize that she had chatted too happily all along the way back, and was too engrossed in it. He did not expect that they had already reached the depths of the flower garden, where Ye Zhen Hua lived.

"Aiya, it's nothing. I think it's just the servants creating a conflict. Let's go back, it won't be worth watching if we go further in …" Shen Mu Qiao seemed to have reacted in an instant as he pulled Qin Ruo Chu's hand and prepared to return on his original path.

"Stop pretending to be nice here, who are you showing it to? Get out, get out! " Just as Qin Ruo Chu took a step forward, he heard a voice that he seemed to have heard somewhere before, but he was not too sure.

Thus, she stopped in her tracks. Shen Mu Qiao could only turn around and look at Shen Mu Sheng, only to see that he did not have any other reactions. He had no choice but to remain where he was.

It turned out that the place they were standing at, which was a belt of greenery, was Ye Zhen Hua's courtyard.

Qin Ruo Chu did not notice the change in Shen Mu Qiao and Shen Mu Sheng. It was entirely because he was curious that he had walked two steps around the green belt and saw the people in the small courtyard.

Although they were separated by a bit of distance, at first glance, Qin Ruo Chu recognized her. The woman who had made that shrill noise just now was the strange woman he had met on his way to the flower garden this morning.
