Chapter 147 Returning to Familiar Places, Reuniting with Friends
After spending one night at the manor, Moze took a walk around the manor the next day, talking about his experiences in Rome.
Shen Nian listened with great interest, her heart sometimes pounding, sometimes laughing heartily, and sometimes looking serious.
Of course, Mo Ze only briefly mentioned those thrilling moments and didn't go into details with Shen Nian.
When they first arrived in Rome to expand their territory, he and his elder brother Tang Yichen were both targeted by assassins. The local underworld and political forces, as well as various oppressions, led to more than one assassination attempt.
Shen Nian recalled their first meeting; the uncle seemed to be on the run from pursuers, and... she had seen a noticeable scar on his chest.
That time... must have been very dangerous and difficult...
The two walked to the swing in the garden, and Mo Ze led Shen Nian to sit on the swing, gently swaying.
When asked about the incident, Mo Ze simply said, "I signed a deal first, and then a competitor got my eye on it."
Shen Nian took his hand and squeezed it tightly.
Mo Ze chuckled and pulled her into his arms. "It won't happen again. With you, I will cherish life even more."
Shen Nian took the initiative to stretch out her arms and hug Mo Ze's waist, rubbing against his chest like a little kitten, making Mo Ze's heart itch.
His large hand rested on the back of Shen Nian's head, gently stroking it again and again, filled with endless tenderness.
Neither of them spoke again. It was as if, at this moment, the quiet world consisted only of the two of them, allowing them to fully enjoy the tranquility.
L came out of the villa carrying fruit, intending to deliver it to Shen Nian and Mo Ze. She had just reached the garden when she saw two people sitting together on a swing not far away, and she stopped in her tracks. Looking at this scene, she suddenly smiled.
This is the best arrangement. These people have never seen the Second Master so gentle before. Isn't this enough?
L turned around with the fruit platter, it seemed they didn't want to eat fruit for the time being.
She had just turned around when she looked up and saw J, who had arrived at some point and was standing right behind her.
L frowned slightly and said sarcastically, "You people who gather intelligence really do everything without anyone noticing."
J wasn't angry. He smiled and looked at Mo Ze and Shen Nian not far away.
She remarked with emotion, "This scene is truly beautiful. I never imagined that Second Master would have such a happy day." Then she looked at L and asked, "What do you think?"
L glared at him, seemingly not intending to reply, and picked up the fruit to go back.
J picked up the watermelon from the plate with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "The watermelon is so sweet."
Just as he was about to grab it again, L slapped his hand hard. "Wash your hands!"
"A little dirt won't hurt you," J said with a grin, following behind L as he took another slice of watermelon and put it in his mouth.
L is a doctor, so he's a bit of a germaphobe. Seeing J like this, he frowned even more and looked at J with disgust.
J pretended not to see the disdain in her eyes and shamelessly kept begging for food.
L raised the plate high, not letting him eat, saying, "I'm saving it for Niannian and Second Master, you should eat less."
“There’s still some in the kitchen, isn’t there?” J saw it.
“Go cut it yourself.” L wouldn’t indulge him.
"My slices aren't as good as yours," J said shamelessly, determined to eat the plate L was holding.
Although they don't get together often now, they still have a deep affection for each other.
Like the Second Master, they were each other's most trusted people.
After staying at the manor until evening, Mo Ze took Shen Nian back to the city.
And instead of going back to the hotel they stayed at a few days ago, they went to another one.
When Mo Ze led Shen Nian to the hotel entrance, she was somewhat dumbfounded.
"Uncle, how did we get here...?"
Mo Ze smiled, took her hand, and walked into the hotel. "We'll stay here tonight."
Shen Nian was taken aback.
It turns out, the man still remembered what she said on her first night in Rome...
After receiving the room key, Mo Ze led Shen Nian upstairs to the room door.
Standing at the door, Shen Nian looked up at the door number: 1707.
Her face lit up with joy as she looked at Mo Ze, who also looked at her with a smile. He then swiped his card and led Shen Nian into the room.
After turning on the lights, Shen Nian saw that the room was exactly the same as it had been a few years ago. It had probably been renovated and even looked more refined than when she had stayed there before.
She clearly saw that the rooms were fully booked during the Spring Festival, and she didn't know how the uncle managed to book a room.
Shen Nian wandered around the room, looking at everything.
Finally, she jumped onto Moze and said happily, "Uncle, I'm so happy! It's that room! It's exactly the same!"
She spoke excitedly, her words somewhat incoherent, but Moze understood her.
He understood her excitement and her incoherent speech.
It's all because of him.
Mo Ze spun Shen Nian around in his arms, startling her so much that she clung tightly to his neck.
"Ah... Uncle, stop! You're going to fall!" Shen Nian shouted.
Moze stopped and whispered in her ear, "How could I bear to let you fall?"
Then, carrying the person, they arrived at the floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the window was the night view of Rome, completely different from that of Jiangcheng. It had an ancient and mysterious feel, with a sense of historical weight amidst the prosperity. The strong contradictions impacted Shen Nian's vision.
"So beautiful," she exclaimed.
“I still prefer Jiangcheng, especially the night view from the floor-to-ceiling windows of my home,” Mo Ze said to Shen Nian with a smile.
Previously, he felt that Rome and Jiangcheng were no different, and that it didn't matter where he stayed. In fact, after living away from home for many years, he felt a little uncomfortable going back.
But now, he feels that nowhere is as good as Jiangcheng.
Because the person he loves is in Jiangcheng.
It seems that Shen Nian taught him how to love.
Upon hearing Mo Ze's words, Shen Nian tilted her head and smiled, "I also think Jiangcheng's night view is the most beautiful."
After hugging for a while, Shen Nian worried that Mo Ze was too tired.
"Uncle, please put me down."
Mo Ze held on tightly, not letting go, and had no intention of putting Shen Nian down.
“I can carry you,” Moze replied.
"I've gained weight recently, quite a bit," Shen Nian said. Under Mo Ze's feeding, she had visibly gained weight.
Mo Ze looked at her with a smirk, "Holding the whole world in your arms is quite heavy..."
Shen Nian's face slowly turned red.
When did this guy learn these cheesy pickup lines...?
"Who told you to say these things..." Shen Nian couldn't help but ask.
"Why would I need someone to teach me what's on my mind?" Mo Ze replied matter-of-factly.
Shen Nian's face turned even redder, and she buried her head in Mo Ze's neck to hide.
After a while, she heard a low, hoarse voice in her ear.
"Niannian, call me."
