Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu will come back and spend the night tonight.

To be able to get to this point with Shen Xingchen, Shen Li has thought and considered a lot.

After all, he had known for four years that Shen Xingchen had a crush on him.

When Shen Li said this, Madam Shen raised her head and looked at him, her eyes much colder than usual.

After staring at Shen Li for a long time, Madam Shen asked coldly, "Shen Li, what do you mean by that?"

Before Shen Li could speak, Mrs. Shen asked again: "Did Xingchen sleep in your room last night? Don't you know that Xingchen is a grown-up girl now? How could you let her sleep in your room?"

Even at this point, Mrs. Shen still didn't say it directly.

Having raised Shen Xingchen for so many years, she was too embarrassed to even mention this matter, always feeling sorry for the little girl.

Seeing his mother's direct gaze and gloomy face, Shen Li didn't want to beat around the bush with her. He knew in his heart that his mother must have noticed something and knew something to say these words to him.

The truth cannot be hidden, and the look in Shen Xingchen's eyes when he looked at him was indeed too hot.

If he could feel it, how could others not feel it?

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, Shen Li slowly exhaled, and then looked at Mrs. Shen again.

The mother and son looked at each other. Mrs. Shen's expression was very serious. She was waiting for Shen Li to explain to her, a reasonable explanation.

Shen Li was calm and composed, and said casually: "Mom, you don't have to trick me anymore, I just want to be with Xingchen."

After Shen Li finished speaking, Madam Shen almost couldn't catch her breath. She suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at him for a long time before she said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Shen, what did you say? Say it again."

She thought that if she gave him a few roundabout advice, he would understand what she meant and would be sensible enough to keep a distance from Xingchen. But who knew that this shameless guy would shamelessly say that he wanted to be with Xingchen.

Is he crazy?

Seeing Mrs. Shen's shocked look and tone, Shen Li said calmly, "I want to be with Xingchen."

After Shen Li's reiteration, Mrs. Shen was no longer shocked or surprised, but was simply exploded.

She said: "Shen Li, do you still have any shame? Don't you know how old you are and how old Xingchen is?"

"Xingchen is young and ignorant. Could it be that you are still young and ignorant?"

"I'm telling you, this is definitely not possible. Not to mention me and your father, your grandfather and the others won't agree to this. Just go and ask Beicheng, ask Gong Xuan and the others, and see if this is outrageous or not."

Before Shen Li had a chance to speak, Mrs. Shen continued, "Before you and Xingchen have a quarrel, you should make things clear to Xingchen. She is a young girl and has never had any emotional experience. You should not give her the wrong impression and should not give her the wrong guidance."

"Xingchen should find a boy who is about her age and as cheerful and sunny as she is, instead of being with a thirty-something uncle like you."

"And in terms of seniority, you are still Xingchen's elder."

"As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow. How could you make such a mistake? Son, don't be so foolish."

After confirming Shen Li's thoughts, Mrs. Shen started scolding Shen Li.

He and Xingchen, how is that possible.

Not to mention the people back home scolding them, even people in their own circle would poke holes in their backs and gossip about them.

Besides, he has too many great stars, and the stars haven't had the chance to see this world yet. If they really are together, it would be too unfair to the stars.

Mrs. Shen really loves Shen Xingchen, otherwise she wouldn't scold Shen Li like that and protect Xingchen like this.

In today's society, although men and women are said to be equal, in fact, they are not equal at all.

If I really agreed to it, and if they couldn't be together in the end, the only one who would get hurt would be Xingchen.

That was not the result she wanted to see. She would rather Shen Li get hurt than Xingchen.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen also regretted that she had always left Shen Xingchen to Shen Li's care, which was why the girl became so dependent on him.

So right now, she couldn't agree to this matter no matter what.

Shen Xingchen and Shen Li are going to be together, and there are too many things involved, and it also concerns the reputation of the Shen family, so Mrs. Shen is still extremely cautious.

The most important thing is that there is too big an age gap between them, and there is also a generation gap, so no matter what people outside say, it will not sound good.

Mrs. Shen spoke a lot and Shen Li fell silent.

He had considered what his mother said, and only after considering these things did he let Shen Xingchen get close.

After a moment of silence, Shen Li looked up at Mrs. Shen and said, "Mom, I will give Xingchen some time and let him think it over."

Mrs. Shen said, "You pick her up and drop her off every day, and even let her into your room at night. How can she have the energy to think about it? I think you should move out."

When Shen Li and Shen Xingchen came to this point, Mrs. Shen guessed that it was Xingchen who spoke first and her son couldn't control himself.

He has invested a lot of time and energy in Xingchen, especially since Xingchen has grown into a big girl when she came back this time.

Which man wouldn't like such a beautiful and lovely girl?

Mrs. Shen prefers to believe in human nature rather than restraint.

His mother asked him to move out, and Shen Li stopped talking.

He didn't want to move, and if he really moved away, Xingchen would definitely have some weird thoughts.

She was already very sensitive, and Shen Li didn't want the relationship to go back to what it was four years ago. He didn't want them to be like strangers when they met, and he didn't want her to hide from him anymore.

However, Shen Li didn't know where to start talking to his mother about the four years he and Shen Xingchen had spent together.

The explanation is not clear.

Finally, she just looked at Mrs. Shen and said, "Mom, I know my own affairs well, and I will think it over carefully."

Madam Shen: "I hope you are sensible and can think things through, and not lead Xingchen astray."

Shen Li remained silent.

After dinner, Mrs. Shen talked a lot to Shen Li, saying that if she had not brought Xingchen back that year, and if they were just strangers meeting, and if they wanted to be together, she would definitely not object.

But given their current situation, if they were together, there would be a lot of rumors outside, saying that he was also interfering with Xingchen's right to choose.

Shen Li remained silent.

At nine o'clock in the evening, when Mrs. Shen was still nagging beside him, Shen Li's cell phone rang.

It’s Shen Xingchen who called.

"Uncle, the operation is over." The phone was connected, and Shen Xingchen's voice came over cheerfully.

"Okay, I'll pick you up." Shen Li was gentle and indifferent, and was exactly the same as usual.

After hanging up the phone, seeing his mother still sitting next to him, Shen Li said calmly: "Xingchen is off work, I'll go pick her up."

Seeing Shen Li's attitude, Madam Shen felt like she had been talking nonsense all night, so she stood up and said, "Think carefully about what I just said to you, and think carefully about Xingchen."

Shen Li didn't say anything.

Because he knows better than anyone what Xingchen wants more.

-

More than 20 minutes later, the car stopped in front of the hospital. As soon as Shen Li got out of the car, Shen Xingchen walked out of the hospital with a smile on his face.

"Uncle." Seeing Shen Li getting out of the car to greet her, she walked over, opened her arms, stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck.
