Chapter 1462: Chapter 1452: You Remind Me of Someone I Know

Ruan Xinyu gave Zhuang Zeyang a glance and nodded. "That works too. When it’s about time, let Nuannuan go back to the hotel to sleep with Ah Zhen. I’ll have Zhuang Yi book them a hotel nearby."

"Okay." Zhuang Zeyang nodded.

Zhuang Shaoyang looked at Mu Yan, not really wanting to leave. But seeing that She didn’t spare him a single glance, the little bit of warmth in his heart slowly cooled. He only reminded her, "If anything happens, talk to your uncle."

Mu Yan didn’t respond to Him and pretended not to have heard.

Zhuang Shaoyang hesitated, then in the end could only leave.

All of a sudden, several people were gone from outside the ward, and it became quiet.

"Sit here for a while and then go back to the hotel," Zhuang Zeyang said.

He looked at Mu Yan. "It’s enough that you have the heart for it. Your grandma is in a stupor now; she won’t be waking up anytime soon."

Mu Yan nodded. "Okay."

"You sit here, I’ll go buy you something to drink," Zhuang Zeyang said.

Mu Yan immediately said, "No, I’ll go buy it."

She really couldn’t bring herself to let an elder go buy things for Her.

Zhuang Zeyang didn’t insist, just nodded. "Alright."

Mu Yan gave Kong Lizhen a look, picked up Her bag, and walked out.

Kong Lizhen watched Mu Yan’s hurried figure leaving, frowned, and said, "Don’t run. It’s dark and the roads are slippery. Be careful not to fall."

"Okay." Mu Yan turned back, waved at Her, and kept walking forward.

Seeing the brilliant smile on Her face, Kong Lizhen couldn’t help but smile.

"Nuannuan is very much like Her Mom." Beside her, Zhuang Zeyang’s voice suddenly sounded.

The smile on Kong Lizhen’s face slowly faded. She said calmly, "Is She?"

She went over to the bench at the side and sat down, eyes gazing ahead, Her delicate face cold as frost, looking a little unapproachable.

Zhuang Zeyang walked over and sat beside Her. "But it’s only Her looks that are similar. Her temperament is much softer than Her Mom’s. It always makes people worry whether She’ll be bullied out there."

"With a great uncle like Minister Zhuang around, who would dare bully Her?" Kong Lizhen said evenly.

A trace of melancholy flickered across Zhuang Zeyang’s face. "If She had been born into the Zhuang Family, naturally I wouldn’t worry about anyone bullying Her. But She spent Her early years living outside with Her Mom and suffered quite a bit. Thinking about it now, I can’t help feeling guilty."

"It was Her Mom who chose to leave the Zhuang Family. It doesn’t really seem to have anything to do with Minister Zhuang," Kong Lizhen said in a level tone.

"You can’t say it has nothing to do with me. After all, I helped Her Mom hide Her whereabouts, so Shao Yang couldn’t find the two of them." Zhuang Zeyang let out a sigh.

"Really?" Kong Lizhen’s expression stayed mild.

Zhuang Zeyang suddenly looked at Her. "Miss Kong doesn’t seem surprised by that?"

Kong Lizhen said calmly, "Even if I sighed over it, what could I change? Besides, you must have had your reasons for doing that. As an outsider, it’s better if I don’t comment."

"Miss Kong is Nuannuan’s godmother. That doesn’t really make you an outsider." Zhuang Zeyang studied Her face, his eyes darkening slightly.

Kong Lizhen suddenly laughed. "Then I truly must thank Minister Zhuang for the compliment. Plenty of people want to latch onto a connection with the Zhuang Family and can’t find a way."

Zhuang Zeyang asked, "Miss Kong really has never been to China before?"

"I’ve been here. I used to travel here many times," Kong Lizhen smiled faintly, looking at Him in puzzlement. "What is it?"

"Nothing." Zhuang Zeyang stared at Her face, paused, then said, "It’s just that Miss Kong looks a lot like someone I know."

"Oh? Who?" Kong Lizhen looked at Him with genuine interest.
