Ji Buwang could finally relax a little after feeling so tense all this while, but Mu Jingzhe’s way of proving she was recovering was a tad too strange.

  “What’s wrong with my method of proving it? I think it’s fine. Don’t tell me you don’t believe me? I can lift you with one hand now.” As Mu Jingzhe spoke, she placed the table down. Looking at Ji Buwang, she felt tempted to pick him up to prove it to him.

  Her hand was about to touch Ji Buwang’s clothes when she saw Ji Buwang look over dangerously. “Lift me?”

  Seeing Ji Buwang’s gaze, Mu Jingzhe was jolted back to her senses. “Not lift you, but carry you. That was just a verb.”

  After saying that, she wrapped her arms around Ji Buwang’s waist and lifted him up. “See? My strength has returned. If another person comes, I could hold each person in one hand.”

  Ji Buwang: “You even want to hold one man with each arm? Who do you want to hug?”

  Mu Jingzhe’s mind went blank for a moment. She thought to herself, ‘You could say that?’

  “Why aren’t you answering? Do you really want to hug another man?”

  Mu Jingzhe loosened her grip and let Ji Buwang fall to the ground. “No, why did you suddenly say all this? I wasn’t thinking of hugging one man with each arm.”

  She hadn’t thought of it at first, but now that Ji Buwang had mentioned it, Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but fantasize for a second. It really only took a second for her to feel that it would be really satisfying to hug one man with her left arm and another with her right arm.

  Previously, when she had thought that she might die, her heart had been filled with regret. One of the reasons was that she hadn’t experienced a spectacular romance. Now that she had recovered, shouldn’t she seize the opportunity to date a guy?

  Ah, it would be even better if she could date two at one go. It was said that it was best for a person to fall in love two to three times. She hadn’t even fallen in love once. If she dated two men at one go, she would at least make up for what she had been missing out on all at once.

  However, this definitely wouldn’t do, so she had to chase this thought away.

  Oblivious to Mu Jingzhe’s greedy plan, Ji Buwang tried to hide his burning face and stroked Mu Jingzhe’s hair.

  “You’ve only gotten slightly better and you’re already all smug. You’re really… Hurry up and get ready to go back. If you don’t go back soon, the kids will come over.” The five children had limited patience.

  \r \r \r

  “I know, I know. I’ll go now.”

  After returning to the city and getting off the plane, Mu Jingzhe successfully stopped the five kids. As expected, if they hadn’t come back soon, they would have gone to the capital.

  Children couldn’t travel alone, and Tang Moling was the one who helped them do bad things.

  Because of Mu Jingzhe’s illness, Ji Buwang didn’t have much time to care about Tang Moling. Tang Moling knew that Mu Jingzhe’s condition was quite serious, so after taking care of all his work matters, he couldn’t help but run over to look for Mu Jingzhe.

  He knew that he and Mu Jingzhe didn’t have a chance anymore, but she was still the one that got away. When he heard that Mu Jingzhe was sick, he wanted to go and see her.

  Knowing that Mu Jingzhe was in the capital, when he encountered the five kids, they hit it off immediately. Just a little longer and they would have succeeded.

  Before Tang Moling could express his thoughts to Mu Jingzhe, Ji Buwang caught him and lectured him. “Why are you always doing such things!”

  “Uncle, don’t do this. There are so many people here. Don’t pinch my ear. You’re not my wife… Ahhh, it hurts.”

  After Ji Buwang dealt with Tang Moling, Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Little Bei. “Tell me, what happened? Where’s Little Nan? Does your father know that you went out?”

  “He doesn’t know, but Little Nan stayed. We didn’t run away directly.”

  Shao Nan had started learning immediately right after he’d decided to do it. He had actually figured out how to use harmless substances to concoct medicine that could make people fall asleep all by himself. He had mixed it in Shao Qihai’s tea, and Shao Dong and the rest had gone out first.

  “Mommy, don’t worry. It really won’t harm Daddy. Daddy hasn’t rested properly partly because he was worried and partly because of us. We’re taking this opportunity to let him rest.”

  Mu Jingzhe held her forehead. “You guys are really good to your father.”

  “Mommy, you’re really much better now, right?” Shao Dong looked at Mu Jingzhe, his eyes shining. “We get worried if we don’t see you. You look much better now.”

  “That’s right. I told you guys before that I’m much better, so there was no need for you to look for me.”

  “But we missed you. We are all on holiday. We came to look for you because we were worried about you and weren’t in the mood to do anything else.”

  Shao Dong remembered the method Shao Nan had taught him to appease Mu Jingzhe’s anger. After struggling for a moment, he made a move. He stretched his fingers in embarrassment and tugged at Mu Jingzhe’s sleeve.

  Shao Nan had said that Mu Jingzhe was actually the most soft-hearted person and liked all adorable things. Thus, if she scolded him, he could try wheedling.

  Of course, Shao Dong had long known Mu Jingzhe’s weakness, but as the calm and steady eldest child, he had never done this previously.

  This time, when Mu Jingzhe had fallen sick, he had suddenly felt a little regretful. Therefore, he had endured his shame and given up his usual rational, convincing methods. In spite of his height, he still did such a thing.

  Because he was really shy, the blush spread from Shao Dong’s ears to his cheeks.

  Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Dong’s expression incredulously, and her heart rate sped up. Boohoo. So this was how it felt to be coaxed by a big boss. Moreover, it was big boss Shao Dong who had grown up quite a bit. His red face was way too cute.

  Hence, Mu Jingzhe abandoned all her principles and stopped lecturing them. “Alright, alright, I won’t scold you kids anymore.”

  Mu Jingzhe had just finished speaking when they hugged her. She didn’t even have enough arms to hug them back. After doing that, she walked sideways like a crab. Li Zhaodi, who was watching from the side, kept shaking her head.

  On the other hand, after Ji Buwang finished dealing with Tang Moling, Tang Moling wanted to say a few words to Mu Jingzhe. However, he was forced to leave after only saying two words: Loved you.

  Mu Jingzhe: “…”

  Even Ji Buwang laughed.

  The great news that Mu Jingzhe had recovered made everyone heave a sigh of relief. It also dispelled most of Shao Qihai’s anger after he was played by the children.

  After Mu Jingzhe, Shao Dong, and the others went back, they thanked everyone for their concern. Then, they got busy again.

  Xiao Wu’s concert was no joke. Since the tickets had already been sold, he couldn’t make a mistake. Previously, Xiao Wu had been worried about his mother’s condition, but he couldn’t delay it anymore. Therefore, he quickly went to Ocean City.

  This time, all five children went together. They had never been to the villa in Ocean City before, so they were filled with anticipation.

  Shao Qihai didn’t go with them. Instead, he stayed behind to deal with work and he would go over in a few days. Even Ji Buwang got busy with his own matters, as he had delayed quite a lot of matters previously.

  Mu Jingzhe, along with the five children, had a few warm, comfortable, lively days in the villa. Every day, she took Xiao Wu out to practice. The rest of the time, they each had their own things to do.

  Little Bei started preparing for the movie she was going to film next. She familiarized herself with the script and practiced her lines. She was going to enter the production team to film a movie in August.

  As for Shao Xi, he wrote stories as usual. Although his first story had already been successfully made into a movie, he wasn’t in a hurry. It wasn’t like he had to write something for the sake of making it into a movie. He simply wrote according to his interests and mood changes. He didn’t wonder whether what he wrote was suitable to be filmed or not.

  It would be best if it could be turned into a movie, but even if it couldn’t… he could always film it a few years later. He didn’t have the means now, but perhaps in the future, he might.
