Chapter 374: I will tell you what happened
Pei Yuan was busy in a call when Suyin’s parents, Tang Ning and Tang Feng, came rushing to him.
“Pei Yuan.”
He raised his eyebrow as he saw coming them in such a hurry. He raised his hand in a gesture to wait. They impatiently did so.
Five minutes later, Pei Yuan hung up the call.
“What?”
Tang Ning hurriedly said, “You won’t believe what we saw today in the mall!”
Pei Yuan observed that her expression was that of worry and confusion.
“What did you see?”
“We saw Jianyu!”
Pei Yuan didn’t react much. “Ho…So?”
“But the confusing part is that Serena was with him. She is pregnant…and they were shopping baby supplies together.”
Tang Feng nodded. “Pei Yuan, how is it possible? Is it what we are thinking?”
Pei Yuan’s eyes flashed with a cunning glint. “It is possible,” he slowly said.
Tang Ning looked at him, dumbfounded. “But how? Wasn’t he engaged to Nana? Then how did Serena…when did they have any relationship? And what about my S-Suyin?”
“Do you want to know what happened with Tang Suyin?” he lazily asked.
“Of course! We have been asking you this whole time, but you didn’t say anything! We only know that she suddenly disappeared…I don’t know what happened. But I am that they must have tortured my poor daughter so much. We want revenge and our daughter back!” Tang Ning gritted her teeth as she dug her nails in her palm.
Tang Feng looked equally furious. “She was our only daughter, Pei Yuan. We want to know everything that happened.”
Pei Yuan squinted his eyes and stared at them. “Alright. I will tell you what happened. So listen carefully and know where your daughter is now.”

Super X mall.
Serena was in a daze as she was holding a milk bottle in her hand. Her gaze was at the bottle, but she seemed to think about something else.
Jianyu was busy in a call, and when he came back, he saw Serena zoned out. He frowned. He tapped on her shoulder.
Serena snapped back from her stupor. “Eh?”
“Where are you lost?” He asked.
She seemed to contemplate something. “Nothing…No wait. I am not sure if I am right, but I think I saw…”
“Saw what?”
“I think I saw two silhouettes staring at us.”
Jianyu knitted his brows. “What do you mean? Were they looking specifically at us?”
He was a big businessman and a part of the underworld too. He never took such things lightly, even if it felt like a fragment of imagination. There were rivals and enemies lurking everywhere, and it was always better to be cautious than to regret later.
“I-I think so…I glanced at them for a moment or two, and it seemed as if they looking at us…but forget it. It’s such a big mall. They might be looking at something else,” she shook her head.
“I will look into it.”
Jianyu mentally made a note to check the CCTV footage of the mall.
Serena was surprised. “You will?”
Jianyu didn’t gaze at her with much emotion. “Hm. Better to be cautious. Plus, we still haven’t found Tang Ning and Tang Feng who sent goons to attack Nana that day.”
Serena turned grim and nodded. She peeked at him and smiled. “I didn’t know you will take me seriously.”
Jianyu grimaced. “For safety reasons, I will take anybody seriously. Stop imagining everything at your convenience.”
Serena’s lips curved in a naughty smirk. “But if I remember correctly, that night in your office…you pounded inside me again and again even though you had declared that you would do it just once and get done with it. But we went on for the entire night~~ That wasn’t my imagination.”
A vein popped on Jianyu’s forehead. He wished to strangle her right this moment.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t retort because she was right. He didn’t keep the part of his deal. Suddenly, the images of him ramming inside her barraged his mind like a broken recording that was stuck on the same part. The flashes of her naked body made his throat tighten, and he felt indescribably a little…hot.
He felt the sudden urge to hug and kiss her again, senseless.
Serena teasingly nudged him. “Are you remembering the passionate night we spent together on that couch?”
Jianyu glared at her and said with gritting his teeth. “Are you done with shopping or not?”
“Don’t avoid the topic.”
“I think you are done.”
Serena quickly said, “No, no! Our shopping is not over yet!”
She didn’t want to end this day so soon with him. They were out together after so long, so she wanted to stay with him as long as she could.
“O-onto the next place!”

When Mu Shuchun bid goodbye to the elder Liang couple, Liang Xiao Dan scooted towards her son.
“Shin. Tell me seriously. What do you think of Mu Shuchun?”
Shin’s mouth twitched. “Nothing. She is just a friend.”
“But you were such close friends during your college days. She is a nice girl too. Why don’t you…try dating her? We really like her. She is beautiful, smart, and independent. She may not belong to a rich family like ours, but you know that we don’t care about that.”
Liang Zou nodded. “Think about it, son. You will turn twenty-nine in a few months. We want to see you happily settled in your marriage and play with our grandkids.”
Shin rubbed his temples. “Mom, Dad. Please. Not Mu Shuchun.”
Liang Xiao Dan frowned. “But what is the harm in trying? It’s not like you have a girlfriend. So why not try dating her? Maybe you will come to like her. You are good friends too. It would make things easier.”
Shin knew that his parents wouldn’t let this go until they succeeded in matchmaking him with Mu Shuchun. He had to do something to stop this once and for all.
He looked at them and said,
“Who said that I don’t have a girlfriend?”
