I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 226

226 I Understand

Free?

The scariest thing in the world was freebies.

If that person knew the truth, maybe everything had been orchestrated by him. So, how could he be so kind as to tell them?

Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exchanged a mutual glance.

Chu Cichen then spoke, “Please tell me.”

The other party laughed. “I know that even if I tell the whole truth, you guys probably won’t believe me. In that case, let me give you guys a few reminders. You can investigate the matter based on my clues.”

He wanted to lead them around by their noses.

Back then, Shen Ruojing had felt it to be troublesome so she had decided to ignore this call. And indeed, the content of this conversation made her feel very uncomfortable.

However, she was completely clueless about the past.

As for Chu Cichen, he had proven that one of their meetings was different from her memories due to their different perspectives. But in truth, there was no problem with his memories either.

The two of them were like headless flies, and there was only a single choice.

Hence, Chu Cichen fell silent for a moment and said, “Alright, speak.”

“The first clue is…Shen Ruojing, have you ever thought about why Chu Cichen vanished after that night? There were no traces captured in the surveillance cameras of that hotel, but what about other things?”

Other things…

Shen Ruojing fell into contemplation.

Back then after Chu Cichen vanished, she did report it to the police. The surveillance cameras of the hotel didn’t capture any traces of them because Lin Wanru had wiped it.

It was because she wanted to steal Shen Ruojing’s identity.

But what about Chu Cichen’s work unit and residential address?

Back then, she and Chu Cichen were dating for half a year. Although they got acquainted with each other in F. Country, they only interacted again in China.

He had said that he was a reporter and had to go around the country. But when the police investigated, they realized that the agency he said he was working for didn’t have an employee like him!

The reporter identity of Chu Cichen was a fake one.

He even told her about his residential address and said that his family of three were locals from Sea City. The two of them were discussing marriage, and Shen Ruojing even wanted to bring him home to meet her parents after he proposed…

However, the police then went to his residential address and discovered that the people staying there were indeed a family of three. But the son wasn’t Chu Cichen. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

So, the residential address was also fake.

He said that he didn’t have many friends, so Shen Ruojing didn’t know anyone from his social circle at all.

On their usual dates, they would go to the park the majority of the time. There were basically no eyewitnesses.

This was why the police doubted her words back then. They asked if she was sure that there was such a person.

At that time, Shen Ruojing even doubted herself.

Did she fall in love and date an imaginary person…?

It was only after she discovered his pregnancy did she understand that at the very least, the night they had spent together was real…

But other than that, that man seemed to only exist in her memories.

Was he really an imaginary character? Or did Chu Cichen lose his memories?

She narrowed her eyes and wanted to ask something, but the other party started laughing.

He used a voice changer so his voice was an electronic one. His laughter was sharp and unpleasant to the ear, like metal grinding against metal, causing those who heard it to feel an extreme sense of discomfort.

After laughing, he continued, “This is the first clue. After you guys investigated clearly, I’ll give you the second clue.”

After saying that, he directly hung up.

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Chu Cichen. “…”

They knew things wouldn’t be so simple!

Was the other party planning to play with them?

The two of them didn’t really understand what his purpose was at this moment.

For a time, they fell silent.

Some time passed before Shen Ruojing spoke, “I feel that…”

“I understand,” Chu Cichen spoke.

Shen Ruojing. “?”

She hesitated. “What did you understand?”

“You find it troublesome and don’t want to investigate, so let me investigate then.”

“…” Shen Ruojing suddenly felt that Chu Cichen was very self-aware.

But…

“Are you not afraid of falling into a trap if we allow him to lead us by our noses?”

“Nope.” Chu Cichen looked at her. “No matter what the truth is, the person I love has always been you. This point has never changed. This was so six years ago, and it will be the same six years later.”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

She suddenly felt her face turning red. This man was speaking so seriously as though he was confessing to her…Also, because he suddenly became so caring, it made her feel like time had returned to six years ago.

The puppy-like guy in her memories was like this.

She coughed and decisively spoke despite her innate dislike for troublesome matters. “Let me investigate this together with you.”

“Sure.” Chu Cichen’s voice was low but very gentle. His eyes were staring tenderly at her. “We can first investigate whether that person in your memories exists or not.”

“Hmm.” Shen Ruojing then added a reminder. “Before we are done with the investigation…”

“I won’t pester you.” Chu Cichen was very self-aware.

The two of them came to a mutual agreement before they returned to the living room.

Madam Yun, Matriarch Chu, and Shen Qianhui had gone to tour the streets. Just as the two of them returned, the butler spoke, “The madams said that since you guys are staying here, please just treat this place as your own home.”

Shen Ruojing nodded. After that, she saw Chu Tianye and Chu Yu peeping from above. Her peach blossom eyes then looked at Chu Cichen. “You should be very busy, right?”

Chu Cichen planned to say that he wasn’t busy.

But before he could say it, he heard the woman saying, “If you are not busy, you can tutor Chu Yu.”

“…I’m actually very busy.”

Chu Cichen walked out with no hesitation. If he had time, wouldn’t it be much better for him to accompany his daughter who had social phobia? Why did he have to torment himself by tutoring Chu Yu?

Chu Xiaomeng felt that there were too many people in the Yun Family’s manor, so it was impossible for her to stay there. Since that was the case, she was still in that small villa of his!

After Chu Cichen left, Shen Ruojing went up. When she got to her room, she saw Yun Yiheng sitting in the living room on the second floor and was currently making a call.

He was on loudspeaker and a male voice rang out from the phone. “Yun Yiheng, can you make it or not? I heard that the western music department has found a few internationally famous pianists to improve on the melody. The only thing we can use to contend against them right now is the [Coldness of Plum Blossoms]. Have you fixed the missing part?”

Yun Yiheng scratched his hair irritably, and the other person grew increasingly anxious. Yun Yiheng then continued, “This piece is unique and I found it randomly from an ancient book. As there’s a part missing, how can it be so easily fixed?! This daddy spent the entire time last night, but I still cannot complete the piece!”

The other party sighed. “I understand, but we are really in a hurry. You didn’t come to school, so you don’t know how arrogant those people from the western music department are. Also, even after the piece is fixed, we still need some time to practice. Time waits for no man! Sigh, if Qing Dai was here, she would easily be able to settle this given her attainment in the zither.”

“Alright, stop wasting this daddy’s time. I’ll look for you again once I fix it.”

Yun Yiheng then hung up.

When Shen Ruojing heard the words [Coldness of Plum Blossoms], she halted her steps and couldn’t help but glance at the few pieces of paper that Yun Yiheng had placed on the coffee table.

Yun Yiheng sensed her gaze and lifted his head to look over. After matching gazes with Shen Ruojing, he couldn’t help but ask, “What are you looking at? Do you even understand music?”
