Holding the cake in her hand, she paused in midair. A Miao looked at Ling Lang incredulously. "What did you say??"

"Why don't you suspect that she did it herself?" Ling Lang clearly repeated. "She has the motive, doesn't she?"

A Miao put the cake onto a small dish. "I hadn't considered her."

"Then consider her now." Ling Lang took a sip of milk tea, generally thinking it was too sweet. "If she wants to try and be with Shen Xinglan, you are her biggest obstacle. Because without you around, Shen Xinglan would be with her."

"If that is the case, it would be great for her to pretend." A Miao said with a wry smile, "Moreover, Shen Xinglan believes her just as he believes me."

At the Ji Corp, Shen Xinglan sat behind a large desk and threw his pen down after listening to several assistants' reports.

"Very well, Ji Yan's project already accounts for half of the company's total investment."

A few of his assistants did not know what he meant, so they just closed their mouths and did not utter a word.

"Keep it up, but we can't have any problems with what's in our hands." Shen Xinglan glanced at them. "Otherwise, I will give you to Ding V."

All five assistants immediately nodded. "Boss, don't worry. We will take care of doing what you told us, even if we die."

Because whoever fell to Ding V would be better off dead than alive...

"Very well, call in Shen II."

As the group of people went out, Shen II came in.

"Boss, we haven't found anything."

Shen Xinglan narrowed his eyes. "What about Jiang Hua?"

"Nothing's happened. He has been busy attending some conferences in school recently."

If not Jiang Hua, who could it be?

Shen Xinglan's index finger knocked on the table a few times. "Who do you think it is?"

"No one went inside except for A Miao, but she could never break the lock cylinder." Shen II was neutral in his analysis. "Those who wanted to frame her must know that she helped Boss steal something, so they think she has that ability."

Shen Xinglan nodded, so he suspected Jiang Hua. In addition to him, who had this ability?

"Keep an eye on Jiang Hua, it must be him."

After handling that matter, Shen Xinglan could not sit still. He thought of A Miao. The day prior, the old couple in the small restaurant brought him closer to A Miao, as if they did not want to separate for a moment.

Shen Xinglan recalled their white-haired appearance, and thought that he would still treasure A Miao and take good care of her even then.

"Back so early?" As soon as A Miao had sent Ling Lang away, Shen Xinglan opened the door and came in.

"I came back to have to dinner with you. We'll go to the supermarket to buy vegetables," said Shen Xinglan, pulling her up.

A Miao put on her shoes and was dragged out by Shen Xinglan. Seeing that he was in high spirits, she did not want to disappoint him. "Let's make dumplings tonight!"


After dinner, Shen Xinglan joined A Miao to watch a DVD, but turned off the TV halfway through.

"Go ahead."

A Miao stared blankly. "What?"

"You've been holding back all afternoon." Shen Xinglan took her into her arms. "Don't you think I can see it?"

Since he came back, he felt that something was amiss with A Miao. She seemed to be hiding something from him. She wanted to tell him, but she did not say it.

"Hahaha..." A Miao tried to giggle and muddle through it. "No, I'm fine."

Shen Xinglan pinched her nose. "To speak or not to speak."

"Sigh..." A Miao pushed him away. "If I tell you, I'm afraid you will get angry."

"Angry? Are you going to meet Jiang?" This was Shen Xinglan's first reaction.

A Miao shot him a glare. "What nonsense!"

"Then I won't be angry." Shen Xinglan hugged her again and said, "Go ahead."

A Miao thought about it, then said, "What do you think about yesterday?"

"It's still being looked into, but Shen II said there weren't any clues." He would not tell A Miao that he suspected Jiang Hua, that would seem like he was being very narrow-minded.

Although he really was narrow-minded...

"Ling Lang said that this matter might just go away," A Miao looked at him, "but I still want to know the truth."

Shen Xinglan touched her head. "Fool, if you want to know, I will continue to check it out, regardless of the police."

"I'm just confused with this!" A Miao held her face. "Shanshan must also want to know who did this to her. Lil Xi misunderstands me. It seems that our relationship will never be harmonious."

"I am here." Shen Xinglan went over and pressed her down on the sofa.

He did not pay attention to the relief in her tone of voice.

Regarding Ling Lang's suspicion of Shanshan, she could not tell Shen Xinglan. How could she make it awkward for him when he believed in her so much?

What's more, she also did not believe it was Shanshan. She'd better let it go and talk about it later...

"Lil Xi, don't do this, I'm alright!"

Inside the hospital, Shanshan was pacifying her young friend, who was irascible. "Stop pacing back and forth because when you do, I get dizzy."

"Shen protects that woman!" Lil Xi said with a fierceness in his eyes, "She wants to kill you and Shen protects her!"

He repeated these words over and over again. She listened to them and hugged her head well. "They said that it was not sister A Miao. There's been no evidence at all!"

"Right!" Lil Xi suddenly looked at her. "So if I find evidence, I can prove it. Then we'll see how Shen can protect her."

Shanshan bit her lip. "But I really don't believe it was sister A Miao..."

"Don't worry about it, take a quick rest. I'm going out." Then he quickly left.

Looking at Lil Xi's back, Shanshan blinked then quietly returned to her hospital bed.

After Shen Xinglan and A Miao arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that Shanshan could be discharged from the hospital. She happily took A Miao's hand and kept talking and talking.

"This time was so disappointing. Shall we go have some fun together another time?

"I want to buy a pet. What does sister A Miao like?

"Teach me how to identify antiques! Brother Xinglan said that you are very good..."

A Miao nodded helplessly and agreed. "Wait until you've rested for a few days."

"Then it's a deal!" Shanshan turned around and asked Shen Xinglan, "Is brother Xinglan OK?"

Shen Xinglan pushed Lil Xi away. "It's summer vacation now, but you can't keep pestering A Miao when she starts to study."

"I'll go with you," Lil Xi kept a straight face, "lest you have another accident."

When Shen Xinglan was driving at the entrance of the hospital, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw someone's back hurrying into the hospital.

"What's up?" A Miao saw him looking outside and thought it had to be someone that he knew.

Shen Xinglan took her hand and shook his head. "It's nothing."

After returning to the villa, Shen Xinglan did not get out. Shanshan reluctantly agreed to go in until she made an appointed with A Miao. When they left, Shen Xinglan knocked on the fender.

"Check out Xia Mei."

A Miao was looking at her cell phone when she heard that and looked up at him.

"Just now at the entrance of the hospital, I saw her go in."

"Alone?" A Miao said in surprise. "She's so delicate that it's impossible for her to go to see a doctor alone."

Shen Xinglan lifted the corners of his mouth. "What if it's a shameful disease..."

Xia Mei came out of the hospital with a pale face, clutching the test results in her hand.

"Miss, you dropped something!" Someone gave her a pat, and who knew that Xia Mei would let out a cry? "Ah! What are you doing?"

Passers-by were startled by her. "You lost your wallet, really."

"Bring it here!" Xia Mei grabbed her wallet and glared at the man before leaving.

That night, Shen I called Shen Xinglan to report on the situation.

"Boss, Xia Mei is pregnant."

Shen Xinglan was at the kitchen door watching A Miao make cupcakes. After he heard that, he quietly walked to the balcony on the other side.

"Whose child is it?"

"Bai Youran's." Shen I said with schadenfreude, "The day you and A Miao got engaged, Xia Mei and Bai Youran drank too much and rolled in the sheets."

Shen Xinglan lifted his eyebrows and said, "Check again and see what role Xia Wan played in it."

He hung up the phone, turned around, and saw A Miao standing there.

"Is Xia Mei pregnant?" she asked.

Shen Xinglan hugged her then walked back to the living room. "Bai Youran's."

"..."

A Miao could not accept it at that time. "This... this... He's her brother-in-law!"

"So Xia Mei is very scared now." Shen Xinglan held her finger and played with it. "I'll have Shen I check it out and see if Xia Wan knows anything."

"Do you think that she arranged it?" A Miao's eyes widened.

"I don't think so," snorted Shen Xinglan.

"I don't think so either," A Miao added, "at least not now."

Xia Wan had not gotten any benefits from the Bai family yet, so she would not let anyone interfere in her relationship with Bai Youran.

"It was an accident."

Shen Xinglan shook his head. "Not necessarily."

Originally, he thought this would cause great confusion for both the Xia and Bai families, but in the end, a week passed and there was no news. It was not until the weekend when Shen II came to deliver the goods that he knew that the matter had been settled.

"Xia Mei took the abortion herself, and no one knows about it."

A Miao frowned. "It is not her style."

According to Xia Mei's character, she would at least go to make trouble for Bai Youran, and because she already liked him, this would be her best opportunity.

"She's scared." Shen Xinglan said, "Once the matter is revealed, Xia Yongqiang will definitely send her away, and the child is even less likely to stay."

A Miao absolutely believed that.

"But... how about the Bai family?" For the Bai family, no matter who was pregnant, they were all grandchildren of their family.

Shen Xinglan said, "The Bai family could probably not know because Bai Youran prevented that."

One additional thing was that someone indeed had planned this for Bai Youran and Xia Mei. It was not Xia Wan, but rather, Ji Xue.

"What has she done here?" A Miao was confused.

"That's also what I want to know," said Shen Xinglan.

He had Shen I continue to look into this matter. A Miao was busy with the beginning of school and slowly forgot about it. However, Shanshan, who had a good memory, called the day before she started school.

"Elder sister A Miao, remember our agreement? Tomorrow is the day!"

"…It is."

Shanshan smiled happily over the phone. "Let's go to the pet store as we agreed!"

A Miao took a look at Shen Xinglan.

"If you don't want to go, then refuse," Shen Xinglan said quietly.

A Miao gave him a blank look, then said to Shanshan on the other side of the phone, "Yes, at what time? Where should I meet you?"

After hanging up the phone, A Miao threw a pillow on Shen Xinglan's head. "You're going with me tomorrow."
