Two hours later, when Zhou Shuo returned to the room, he found that Xia Liang was still looking at ease but Li Mo was already a little drunk, blushing and lying on the wine table in a daze.

Xia Liang saw Zhou Shuo coming in and realized that it was late so he pushed Li Mo and asked in a low voice, "Where do you live? I will send you back."

Li Mo raised his slightly flushed eyes and looked at Xia Liang innocently as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.

Xia Liang repeated that sentence. Li Mo thought for a moment and then he realized: "My family is in... China. I am Chinese... I come from China..."

Xia Liang: "..." 

Does this guy think he is abroad?

Although he heard that Li Mo had rented a house on Qingyuan Road before, he did not ask for the specific address. He did not ask anymore and told Zhou Shuo to help Li Mo get in the car and then drove directly to his villa.

Although the villa is idle most of the time, he hired people to clean it regularly so they can move in any time. 

After he settled Li Mo in, he left a note on the bedside table and went back to Xia's house with Zhou Shuo.

However, the summer house at this time was empty. 

"Where did they go?" 

Xia Liang looked around the dark and empty room then turned to ask Zhou Shuo.

Zhou Shuo looked at him strangely: "Don't you remember, they went to Holland with Brother Lin two days ago."

Xia Liang was startled, then rubbed his temples, and said with a laugh: "Look, I was a little drunk when I came here. I even forgot about it."

When Xia Lin came out with his family, Song Yan came to propose marriage. The Xia family was furious.

It took Xia Liang a lot to persuade Father Xia and Mrs. Xia, and finally, the old man nods his head to recognize the marriage.

The elders of both sides also opened up their faces, generously organizing a very decent wedding banquet for Song Yan and Xia Lin, but stopped the outsiders from speaking out.

Not long after that, Song Yan suddenly remembered that he still owed Xia Lin a marriage certificate so he took Xia Lin to the Netherlands to obtain the certificate.

Old Mrs. Xia was so bored at home that when she heard that her grandson and son-in-law were going to the Netherlands, she followed to witness her grandson's marriage. 

Old Mrs. Xia went. Father Xia and Uncle Teng naturally had to follow so only Xia Liang and Zhou Shuo were left in an instant.

Xia Liang originally thought that after Mrs. Xia went abroad, he could finally clean his ears. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xia did not forget to introduce her grandson to prospective marriage partners while she was abroad. She even called her specifically and asked Xia Liang to meet the daughter.

Xia Liang knew that it was not easy to disobey his parents but secretly called his assistant to deal with it. That's why Zhou Shuo made an appointment with the daughter of the Sun family in the afternoon.

He originally thought that he had been perfunctory during the day and had to think of some excuses to deal with Mrs. Xia when he returns home. He didn't expect that no one was around when he returned. 

When he remembered that his elders were not at home, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The mood is also brighter.

"It's getting late," he said to Zhou Shuo, "I'm going to take a bath. You can go back to the room and rest early."

"Yes." Zhou Shuo replied in a low voice and stood still three steps away from him.

Xia Liang took two steps and noticed something wrong, then turned around and looked at Zhou Shuo.

"What is going on with you today?"

"Wha. . . what?" Zhou Shuo's somewhat relaxed body instantly tightened again.

"Today you..." 

Xia Liang took two steps forward. Zhou Shuo immediately reflexively backed up two steps, always keeping a certain distance from him. 

Xia Liang stopped and squinted at Zhou Shuo displeased.

"Am I the plague? Why are you trying to avoid me like this?"

"No, it's not..." Zhou Shuo frowned. 

"What is the reason?"

Zhou Shuo covered his nose and plucked up the courage to say, "Master, you should take a shower, the perfume smell on your body is really..."

This is the second time Xia Liang heard him mention the smell of perfume. He raised his sleeves and smelled carefully. Apart from the trace of alcohol remaining on his body, he did not smell anything similar to perfume.

But at the moment, he was really tired and had no intention of arguing with Zhou Shuo about such trivial matters so he waved his hand and went back to the room by himself.

Zhou Shuo waited until Xia Liang closed the door before letting out a sigh of relief. As soon as he returned to his room, he heard the phone ring. The caller ID showed Song Yan.

"Hey, is Brother Liang there?" Song Yan asked. 

"He...maybe taking a bath."

"No wonder no one answered the phone." Song Yan murmured, "After he finishes the bath, can you ask him to call back? I have to talk to him urgently."

"Oh." Zhou Shuo hung up absently, opened the door to look in the direction of Xia Liang's bedroom, and hesitated.

He knew that something was wrong with him today and he had repeatedly lost his way in front of Xia Liang. He didn't know if Xia Liang would doubt him. In short, he didn't dare to appear in front of Xia Liang again.

But Song Yan needs to find Xia Liang. Today, Xia Liang and Song Yan are basically in contact with Xia and Song's business. If he doesn't tell Xia Liang in time, I'm afraid it would delay business affairs.

After Zhou Shuo hesitated for a moment, he comforted himself. When Xia Liang finished the bath, there should be no strange perfume smell on his body, right? When the time comes, he will pass a word to him at the door and leave so there shouldn't be anything wrong.
