Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Aloof and Ascetic Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Aloof and Ascetic Meng Chuyue wasn’t positing this for the first time.
She’d speculated many times, both in her past life and in this one.
But each time, the answer was “NO.”
Not to mention Meng Jingfen, except for her large phoenix eyes which resembled those of Meng Jinhua and Meng Wanhua, the other features, especially her nose and mouth were so much like Fu Hongfang’s.
Just considering their circumstances, why would there be any need for a baby switch?
She just couldn’t figure it out, truly couldn’t.
Having seen all she wanted, Meng Chuyue decided to visit Meng Wanhua right away.
As she was about to let the curtains fall, she inadvertently saw Shen Ci stepping out from a van.
And honestly, the guy was born with some really good looks.
Not to mention his divinely handsome facial features, his tall and slender figure, youthful, agile and full of vitality, was especially easy on the eyes—even Meng Chuyue, a self-proclaimed “old auntie,” couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Then she saw a pretty young girl in a red dress rush up to Shen Ci, blushing as she asked, “Brother Ci, are you free tonight?”
Shen Ci squinted his eyes, ignored her, and continued walking around her.
The girl, frustrated and embarrassed, stamped her foot and left.
Meng Chuyue chuckled, but before her smile could fully bloom, she witnessed another amusing scene.
A pure-looking schoolgirl with a backpack, upon seeing Shen Ci, paused for a moment and then eagerly took out a large orange from her bag and offered it to him: “Brother Ci, here, your favorite.”
This time, Shen Ci stopped, his gaze lingering on the orange for two seconds, but that was all.
He then continued, with a stern face, towards the stairway of his apartment building.
The girl’s eyes immediately reddened and she turned back.
Huh, was she going back home to cry?
Shen Ci sure had a lot of admirers.
His personality, though, really fit the “aloof and abstinent” type.
The way he treated her so curtly yesterday was probably because they had shared hardships together, and he considered her a friend.
Meng Chuyue had seen many people in her previous life.
They were usually very cold to strangers but acted differently around family and friends.
Meng Chuyue smiled as she moved back towards the bed to pack her luggage.
She wasn’t planning on checking out.
The Fruit Store hadn’t finished remodeling, so she needed to keep her options open.
She picked up the newly bought “work uniform” for the Fruit Store and also chose a few low-key but exquisite pieces from the Space Water.
Notice two dresses among them suited Meng Wanhua perfectly and she packed them as well.
Though Space fruit was beneficial for Meng Wanhua’s health, carrying them with her might inadvertently benefit Meng Jingfen, but Meng Chuyue couldn’t be bothered with that now.
As vexing as it might be, she had to prioritize treating Meng Wanhua’s illness.
That way, she would be able to leave here with a peaceful mind and live the life she desired.
Of course, she would avoid giving any to Meng Jingfen if possible.
Feeding her would be like feeding pigs.
Shen Ci, having retrieved his watch that he’d left at home this morning, was surprised to bump into Meng Chuyue as he left.
He was dressed today, as before, in a white shirt and black trousers.
Of course, it was a different set.
But the young lady wasn’t dressed today.
She was wearing a light purple long-sleeved blouse with a black mid-length skirt.
The loose blouse was tucked into the skirt, revealing only a slim waist, creating an overall demure elegance.
Yet it still seemed universally flattering.
What frustrated Shen Ci was that, uncontrollably and detailedly, after examining the young lady’s attire, he found himself scrutinizing her face.
It wasn’t out of shameless lechery; he just wanted to know if her naturally wheat-colored skin had been made to look as white as snow from powder foundation.
If that was the case, the quality of her foundation must be outstanding since he couldn’t see any powder residue from such a close distance.
Not just that, he could also see the fine, clear peach fuzz on her face.
