Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Stuck at Home

Meng Chuyue felt that whether she and Shen Ci ended up together or not, the fact that Qin Weilan had saved her was undeniable.

"As the son of my lifesaver, it’s impossible for us to not have a connection in the future."

Shen Ci looked at the fruit, trying to make conversation, "Didn’t you say there was none of this fruit left? Or is this a different variety?"

Meng Chuyue nodded, "You’re really smart. It’s indeed a different variety, these taste better and are rarer, only available to internal staff."

As she spoke, she opened the insulated box, taking out rice, chicken soup, sweet and sour ribs, braised eggplant, and a cold bean salad one by one.

Shen Ci gazed at the exquisite food, feeling a softness inside, "Why are you so good to me?"

Meng Chuyue smiled, "Aunt Qin saved me; she’s like a parent to me. By that logic, you’re my brother. Isn’t it right for me to treat my brother well?"

Shen Ci smiled and did not speak. He went to the kitchen to wash his hands, preparing to eat.

Meng Chuyue initially intended to leave right away but seeing the house a bit messy, she said, "Do you need help tidying up?"

"Um, thank you," Shen Ci raised an eyebrow and took out a key, "Little sister, this is the key to my front door."

Meng Chuyue’s mouth twitched as she took the key, threw it into her purse, and silently began cleaning the house.

The house was tidy, only a bit dusty, and she didn’t exert much effort to clean it up.

After washing her hands, she picked up her purse and said softly, "I’m heading back now, I’ll... come see you in three days. Is it okay if I come every three days from now on?"

Shen Ci gestured with his hand, "Of course. Wait, let me finish eating and I’ll walk you downstairs."

"Alright." Meng Chuyue obediently sat back down, her movements very graceful, stirring yet another ripple in Shen Ci’s heart.

With her companionship, he was happy yet also agitated: he didn’t want her as a sister; he wanted her as a lover.

But she had no special feelings for him, and his current situation... wasn’t suitable to pursue her.

How frustrating.

He just hoped that before he could become stronger, she wouldn’t meet anyone she liked, or perhaps... suddenly fall for him.

After finishing the meal, Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci together washed the dishes and insulated box, then left the apartment.

Meng Jingfen had been watching through the peephole of her door, seeing Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue getting ready to leave, she became anxious and rushed to Lin Fangwei, who was sitting on the sofa, "Meng Chuyue is leaving again, what should we do?"

"What to do? Block them right now."

Lin Fangwei had conceived this plan beforehand.

She had been keeping watch here for three days; Meng Chuyue only came tonight and was with Shen Ci.

What did this imply?

It implied Meng Chuyue hadn’t moved in with Shen Ci and wouldn’t stay long.

She had thought it thoroughly; blocking Meng Chuyue anywhere else wasn’t as discreet as here, so she had already notified her family’s five bodyguards to wait outside.

The positions of the five bodyguards were out of the peephole’s view, hence Meng Jingfen hadn’t noticed them.

Naturally, Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue hadn’t noticed either. They had just opened the door when five fierce men blocked them.

Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue, unaware of their purpose, were about to speak when the door opposite opened, and Lin Fangwei came out with a malicious smile.

Lin Youdong, Zhao Sulan, and Meng Jingfen’s family were following her.

Seeing it was the Lin family, Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci relaxed. They exchanged a glance, hooked their lips, and swiftly took action, quickly knocking the five burly men to the ground.

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Lin Youdong retreated to the Meng family, attempting to call for backup.

Shen Ci hurried over, pushed him away and after ripping out the Meng family’s telephone line, grabbed the trembling Lin Youdong and Meng Jinhua and brought them back to his own living room.
