TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 425: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Better

Ji Buwang was confused by Mu Jingzhe's sudden action. "Jingzhe?"

He looked confused and did not know why Jingzhe suddenly hugged his shoulder.

“Let's sit down for a while. My legs are a little numb.” Mu Jingzhe casually found an excuse. All right, that's no excuse. Just now, to help Ji Buwang hug his shoulder, his body had leaned towards Ji Buwang, preparing himself for a hug at any moment.

His feet were indeed a little numb from sitting like that. After saying that, Mu Jingzhe leaned his weight on Ji Buwang.

When Ji Buwang heard that Mu Jingzhe's legs were numb, he quickly supported her. "Are they so numb?"

“No, just a little. I'll be fine in a minute.”

Ji Buwang was relieved when he heard that. Then, he could clearly smell the faint scent emanating from Mu Jingzhe's body. Their close contact made his heart beat fast, and he felt it wasn't bad.

However, after Mu Jingzhe went down the stairs, he thought that it was not so good. Since Ji Buwang was taller than him, when he wrapped his arm around his shoulder, it was as if he was depending on him.

Now that he had touched her shoulder and her legs were not numb anymore, she let go.

Ji Buwang was disappointed, as he could not bear to part with her. Looking at the park not far away, he suggested, "Let's take a walk in the park."

Rarely did Old Master Ji come and take the children out to eat and drink, so he wanted to spend more time with Mu Jingzhe.

Mu Jingzhe's eyes twinkled and he nodded, assuming it was a good idea. The park is a favorite place for couples in this era. In chairs and under trees, couples can even hold hands and hug each other. They can also go to the forest to kiss.

This park has been very popular since it was built.

He has even seen online photos of people dating in the park during this era. Ah, she was wondering what Ji Buwang would do.

Filled with anticipation, Mu Jingzhe happily held Ji Buwang's hand. "Let's go."

It just so happened that it was already night, so it was already dark and the wind was strong, making it easier to do bad things.

Ji Buwang's eyes sparkled as he looked at Mu Jingzhe gently holding his hand, and his back grew straighter. This is awesome!

Ji Buwang happily maintained this pose as he led Mu Jingzhe to the park.

Mu Jingzhe had guessed correctly earlier. In addition to the many parents and children in the park, there are indeed many couples in remote places. Along the way, they even surprised many of them. Some of them loosened their grip on each other, while others had abnormal expressions. It's clear what they've done.

Mu Jingzhe tilted his head and glanced at Ji Buwang. Ji Buwang must be inspired too, right? He wondered what he was going to do.

Ji Buwang looked calm on the surface, but he was nervous deep in his heart, as he was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would let go of his hand. He did not suggest coming here intentionally. He had not expected the garden to be this pleasant.

He only knew that young people liked to go to the park, but he did not know that they were doing such bold things. He also did not know if Jingzhe thought that he was too scary. She really just wanted to take Jingzhe for a walk and, at most, hold her tiny hand. He had no intention of crawling into the forest and doing bad things with it.

They both had different thoughts, but their hearts were beating just as fast. Then, Ji Buwang nervously carried Mu Jingzhe away from the park, afraid that he would see a more encouraging sight.

Mu Jingzhe: "..."

After they startled others, their trip to the park ended just like that? They won't even hold hands properly? He was even the one who took the initiative to enter the place with his hands connected to his.

That's ridiculous.

Mu Jingzhe did not believe that Ji Buwang had no feelings for him in his heart, but why did he have to take the initiative all the time?

It didn't matter to him to do it, but wouldn't it be better if it was more interactive?

Not doing it intentionally? But it seems they can't go in anymore. That's not possible. The atmosphere no longer fit.

"Let's go back." Mu Jingzhe waved his hand. "I'm tired."

His heart was beating a little bit that day. He was nervous, hopeful, and alternately disappointed. He's really tired. He wondered if it was the same for others as well.

After hearing that Mu Jingzhe was tired, Ji Buwang could only bring him back.

After Mu Jingzhe returned home and took a bath, her gaze focused on the set of dolls Ji Buwang had given her earlier. The dolls are still the same, naive and cute charming.

As for the puppet with the mechanism, he was still unable to open it. He had tried to form many words, including what he liked and what else, but he could not open them. Even the name didn't work.

“What exactly is inside? I have to open you today! I have to see what you're hiding.”

Mu Jingzhe tried to open it again, but in the end it did not open. "ah! How long has it been? Why can't I open it ?! ”

When Little Bei came back, he chuckled at her. "Mom, you can do it!"

Mu Jingzhe: "..."

He doesn't seem to encourage her. He has no chemistry with Ji Buwang!

Now that Little Bei was back, he was too embarrassed to continue, so he returned the doll. However, he decided that he would definitely open it someday!

He will try every time he is free, but still not open after three days. On the other hand, Ji Buwang returned to the capital, saying that he had something to do.

Ji Buwang's sudden departure made a knot shape in Mu Jingzhe's heart, and endless aversion surged. Boohoohoo, why did he just leave? All they do is hold hands.

The more this continued, the more reluctant he was to part with her. Mu Jingzhe couldn't bear to part with her, and Ji Buwang couldn't bear to part with her either. It was excruciating before he left.

Mu Jingzhe felt the same way and was still a little unfamiliar. After Ji Buwang left, his heart suddenly felt empty and he could not gather any energy.

Meanwhile, Shao Dong and Mu Han also had some corporate affairs to settle. Shao Dong knew that Mu Jingzhe missed Ji Buwang, so he thought for a moment and deliberately asked Mu Jingzhe to go and help him deliver the most important documents. He will also handle some other things.

Mu Jingzhe could handle this matter, so he immediately agreed.

He wanted to tell Ji Buwang immediately, but he held back. He only told her before boarding the plane to give her a surprise.

It's really a nice surprise. When Ji Buwang received the news, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. When he saw Mu Jingzhe at the airport, he rushed over and picked him up from the ground.

At that moment, Ji Buwang forgot the gazes of others and only looked at Mu Jingzhe. He needed to vent the excitement and anxiety in his heart, so he even twisted it a few rounds after lifting it up.

Mu Jingzhe was only happy, but he did not expect Ji Buwang would be so happy. She even hugged and played it as she saw people doing on television and movies. While he was enjoying this happy dizziness, a sentence inevitably popped into his mind: Absence brings the heart closer together.

Seeing Ji Buwang continue to smile, he could not help but smile foolishly as well.

"When will you come back? You'll stay for a few more days, right? Come back with me when it's time to go.”

According to his plan, Mu Jingzhe should return after staying only two to three days. However, upon seeing Ji Buwang, Mu Jingzhe hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Good."

He decided to follow his heart and just once. He would let Shao Qihai take care of the children for a week.

To be honest, in the past few years, he has not let go of the children much or fully lived his life. This time, he should relax.
