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

How come you are so good at calculating?

No matter what Shen Li thinks, at least in front of Shen Mingchuan, he is not a person who saves trouble or fuel.

Mrs. Shen saw Shen Mingchuan staring at Shen Li with disdain. She placed a bowl of porridge in front of him and said, "Alright, why are you staring at him? Eat quickly."

Shen Xingchen secretly laughed at Mrs. Shen's impatience again.

At the side, Shen Li turned to look at Shen Xingchen. Seeing that she was laughing secretly, he knocked on her bowl with chopsticks and said, "Eat your meal."

After Shen Li's lecture, Shen Xingchen turned around, looked at him and smiled, then lowered his head to eat.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Li and Shen Xingchen went out together. Mrs. Shen said to Shen Mingchuan in the living room: "My son may have fallen into it too. The way he looks at Xingchen is different now."

Shen Mingchuan listened to this and said coldly: "How old is Da Xingchen? Doesn't he know? How can he be so embarrassed?"

"..."Mrs. Shen: "Age is not a criterion for measuring feelings. There are people who are 20 years older than you, so what can you say?" She added: "I think you should be able to find a way to deal with this matter. You are just afraid of being criticized by others, so you are unwilling to think of a solution."

After what happened last night, Mrs. Shen no longer wanted to oppose Shen Li and Shen Xingchen.

They obviously like each other, but if they can't be together, it would be such a huge regret in the future.

Therefore, the problem was deliberately thrown to Shen Mingchuan and asked him to deal with it.

There's no way. He is Shen Li's father, so he has to worry about his son's affairs.

"I have a way? What can I do?" Shen Mingchuan walked towards the entrance: "I'd better make some money for my retirement before they make a fuss."

Having said that, without waiting for Mrs. Shen to say anything else, he left the house.

Otherwise, if she kept nagging him a few more times, he might be convinced.

At the same time, Shen Li's car had arrived at the hospital entrance.

Shen Xingchen unbuckled his seat belt and turned to look at him, his eyes full of reluctance.

If she had known they would have to part so soon, she should have asked for a day off from the hospital today and spent more time with him.

Because I don’t know whether he will come home tonight.

"Uncle, I'm going to get off the car first. I'm going to work."

"Go."

"Uncle, I feel a little unwell again."

Shen Xingchen said she was not feeling well, and Shen Li smiled.

"I feel like I should..."

Before Shen Xingchen could finish her coquettish words, Shen Li reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, then with a little force he pulled her in front of him and kissed her on the lips.

Even if she didn't say it, he knew what she was thinking and what she wanted.

As expected, after Shen Li's kiss, Shen Xingchen felt at ease and smiled.

She thought to herself, they probably weren't done yet.

After the kiss, Shen Li gently stroked her face: "I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll wait for my uncle." When Shen Li said he would come to pick her up, Shen Xingchen suddenly felt like she was filled with chicken blood and was resurrected.

Then he opened the car door and got out happily.

In the cab, Shen Li held the steering wheel with both hands, looked sideways at Shen Xingchen who was leaving, and couldn't help but smile again.

After so many years, he is still the only one in her life.

Perhaps, this will be her lifelong habit, and he will be her lifelong dependence.

In the past, he always wanted to let her go and see the world. But now looking at her back, Shen Li couldn't help but wonder why he couldn't take her with him to see the world.

Only when Shen Xingchen's back disappeared from his sight as usual did Shen Li start the car and go to the company.

In the following days, he would pick up and drop off Shen Xingchen to and from get off work every day, so Shen Xingchen gradually let go of the fact that the operation had failed.

Life is always like this. As time goes by, unhappy things will be forgotten and let go.

However, as Shen Xingchen's mood gradually recovered, Shen Li no longer went to her room to accompany him. Shen Mingchuan came back early every day during this period, and Shen Xingchen no longer dared to run around in Shen Li's room.

After all, she heard the conversation between Shen Mingchuan and Shen Li that night.

That night, when the two were watching TV in the living room downstairs, Shen Li reflexively hugged Shen Xingchen into his arms and let her nestle in his arms to watch TV.

Shen Xingchen was used to sticking with her, so Shen Li held her in his arms, and she stayed in his arms, talking to him intermittently.

In the small living room, Mrs. Shen was explaining things to the servants and didn't pay attention to the two people's behavior. Besides, she was used to it.

But on the sofa next to them, Shen Mingchuan's face turned extremely ugly when he saw the two of them hugging each other like this.

Not to mention that they are not together openly yet, even if they are recognized by everyone, shouldn't they be more restrained in front of their parents? What's the point of hugging and being affectionate?

"Cough cough cough." After staring at the two of them for a while, and seeing that they hadn't noticed him yet, and that they were still so young and shamelessly sticking to each other, Shen Mingchuan deliberately coughed twice.

When Shen Mingchuan coughed, Shen Xingchen was stunned at first, then turned and looked to the side.

When she saw Shen Mingchuan, Shen Xingchen realized belatedly that her uncle was next to her.

Feeling a little nervous, Shen Xingchen quietly crawled out of Shen Li's arms and said seriously, "Uncle, sit down and watch TV."

Shen Li was amused by Shen Xingchen's reminder.

He looked at her and said, "Doctor Shen, are you still embarrassed?"

Seeing this, Shen Xingchen pretended to be serious and stood up from the sofa: "I still have a report to write, I will go back to my room to write it first." He looked at Shen Mingchuan and said: "Uncle, I will go back upstairs to study first."

"Well, go ahead." Shen Mingchuan pretended nothing happened, as if he had not seen their intimacy just now.

As a result, just as Shen Xingchen went upstairs, Shen Mingchuan took off his slippers and threw them at Shen Li: "You are not avoiding suspicion at all now, and you don't care about your face at all, right? What I said to you some time ago was all nonsense?"

If Xingchen had rushed into his arms first, he wouldn't have bothered to get so angry with him.

The fact is, it was he who pulled Xingchen into his arms.

He was clearly showing off to him on purpose, and clearly trying to provoke him on purpose.

Shen Li opened the slippers that Shen Mingchuan threw to him with just a wave of his arm.

Then, he looked at Shen Mingchuan very seriously: "Dad, I am serious about Xingchen, and Xingchen needs me too." He added: "Xingchen's dependence on me is beyond your imagination. If I am not with her, she..."

Shen Li did not go into details about the rest of the conversation.

But he knew that she would not be happy for the rest of her life, and she would not be able to integrate into this society.

Even if their feelings are sick, so what?

Life is short, and being happy is the most important thing. Besides, they didn't hurt anyone.

Shen Li's seriousness and what he said made Shen Mingchuan frown and fall into silence.

If this matter is to be judged, he and Zhao Shuting are also wrong. They adopted Xingchen, but left Xingchen to their son to take care of.
