I will die early and cannon fodder. I will enjoy great blessings after marrying a sick man.

It was not until the evening that Song Manman and Shen Yanqing took the three siblings Shen Yan, Shen Zhen and Shen Xi away from home.

After leaving the house, Shen Yanqing drove a few people to a private restaurant.

As he parked the car, Shen Yanqing explained, "This is a new private restaurant I discovered. It tastes very good." After that, Shen Yanqing carried the three children out of the car one by one.

This private restaurant is located in a courtyard. Most of the decorations inside are antique, very elegant and full of atmosphere.

When Song Manman entered, she saw two familiar faces.

It was Ye Huaisheng and Sheng Jingmiao with their two sons Ye Zhengche.

The family of three was also celebrating Ye Zhengche's birthday, but the little guy had a tense face and gloomy eyes, and he didn't look very happy.

Seeing Shen Yanqing and Song Manman, Ye Huaisheng and Sheng Jingmiao quickly stood up.

Ye Huaisheng nodded slightly towards Shen Yanqing and said with a smile: "Long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

After hearing Shen Yanqing's reply, Sheng Jingmiao smiled at Song Manman and said, "Manman, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Yeah! I've been a bit busy lately."

"Your beauty salon is doing so well, you're not busy!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Huaisheng invited, "Let's eat together. We just arrived as well."

"Let's go together. These little guys are quite connected as they all have the same birthday!" With a smile, Sheng Jingmiao echoed Ye Huaisheng's invitation to Song Manman and Shen Yanqing.

The couple looked at each other, and Shen Yanqing took Song Manman's hand and walked to the seat where Ye Huaisheng and Sheng Jingmiao had just sat. The chair was made of solid wood and was a little cold to sit on, but everyone's mind was not on this at the moment.

After sitting down, Ye Huaisheng took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yanqing, saying, "Want one?" His movements were skillful and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"I don't smoke, and the children can't get used to the smell." Shen Yanqing shook his head slightly, looked at the children around him gently, and spoke in a firm tone.

Hearing this, Ye Huaisheng didn't say much and put the cigarette back into his pocket.

"Why did you go back to Kyoto? Just to celebrate your child's birthday?" Ye Huaisheng asked casually with a faint smile on his face.

After Ye Huaisheng finished asking, Shen Yanqing looked at Song Manman tenderly and said, "I missed my wife, and came back to celebrate my child's birthday." His voice was not loud, but full of affection, allowing everyone present to feel his love for Song Manman.

Hearing this, Ye Huaisheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You are really the same as always." Ye Huaisheng laughed heartily, but there was a hint of imperceptible envy in his eyes.

As soon as Ye Huaisheng finished speaking, a hint of sadness flashed across Sheng Jingmiao's eyes. The sadness was fleeting, but it was still captured by the careful Song Manman.

Catching Sheng Jingmiao's expression, Song Manman pursed her lips slightly and asked in a low voice: "Jingmiao, what's wrong with you?" Her eyes were full of concern and confusion.

Looking up at Song Manman, Sheng Jingmiao quickly controlled her emotions and said with a smile, "Nothing! Why do you ask?" Her smile was a little forced, trying to hide her true feelings.

"It's okay..." Song Manman said softly. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to ask more questions.

"This little orange has grown so big now, and he is getting more and more beautiful." Ye Huaisheng glanced at his son and said, "Zhengche, say hello to your sister." His tone was filled with the pride of a father.

"Hello." Ye Zhengche's tone was calm and indifferent, unlike other children of his age, and there was a little impatience in his eyes. He seemed to be uninterested in such occasions, and only said hello reluctantly at his father's request.

Little Orange seemed to have sensed that her brother didn't like her, so she just responded lightly. She still had a smile on her face, but it was no longer as bright as it was at the beginning.

Shen Zhen didn't notice anything wrong, he just focused on eating, but while filling his stomach, he didn't forget to feed the little orange. He ate with gusto, his cheeks were bulging, very cute.

From time to time, he would help his elder brother Shen Yan to get some food and put it on Shen Yan's plate.

Shen Yan, who was more mature, was very sensitive. He was keenly aware of Ye Zhengche's mood and frowned slightly. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but when he saw that his father Shen Yanqing didn't say anything, Shen Yan suppressed the matter in his heart.

Shen Yanqing just smiled faintly and did not respond to Ye Huaisheng's words. His eyes swept over the children, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming gradually awkward, Sheng Jingmiao spoke up to break the deadlock, saying: "These children are indeed destined to be together. They were born on the same day and now they can meet on their birthdays." Her smile was a little forced, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Looking up at Xiaojuzi, Sheng Jingmiao continued, "Besides, I don't have a daughter. The more I look at Xiaojuzi, the more I like her. If these two little ones can get together by fate in the future, Huaisheng and I will be so happy." There was a bit of expectation and fantasy in her words.

Hearing this, Song Manman's smiling lips gradually fell. Her eyes became serious, and a trace of unhappiness surged in her heart.

Song Manman's smile did not reach her eyes, and she replied lightly: "This matter depends on the future fate of the two children. It's too early to say now." Although her tone was calm, it revealed her refusal.

"That's true, but people of our level all emphasize a good match. There are quite a few families that are a good match for us, but there are not many who are of the same age as these little guys." Sheng Jingmiao seemed unaware of Song Manman's dissatisfaction and continued.

After Sheng Jingmiao said this, Song Manman could hardly maintain her business smile. Her face became a little ugly, and her dissatisfaction became stronger.

After adjusting the hem of her skirt, Song Manman forced a smile and said, "It seems that Jingmiao and I have different ideas. Our family doesn't care much about the idea of ​​being well-matched. The most important thing is that the children like it. As long as they like it and their personalities are similar, the issue of family background is not that important." Song Manman's voice was firm, and there was an unquestionable light in her eyes.

Song Manman's words were like small stones thrown into the water, stirring up waves in Sheng Jingmiao's heart. Sheng Jingmiao's face changed slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more awkward, Ye Huaisheng quickly said, "Oh, the children are still young, it's really too early for us to talk about this now. Come on, let's eat and try the private dishes of this restaurant." He tried to change the subject to ease the tense atmosphere.
