Those sharp, dark eyes, filled with suppressed power, made Sheng's father tremble. He looked at Lei Xuan, then at Shen Wangshu.

“There are guest rooms at home, so you can ask him to stay.” Shen Wangshu didn’t want to be separated from him, so when she saw him insisting on staying at her home and even bringing up the little fat boy, she felt a secret joy and happiness.

She smiled beautifully, looking extremely happy. Seeing his daughter gazing at Lei Xuan with loving eyes, Mr. Sheng couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. He hesitated, looking at the two children nestled affectionately in Shen Wangshu's arms. He moved his lips, but managed to pull away from Mrs. Sheng's forceful tug on his sleeve and whispered, "Then Mr. Lei, please rest here."

"This won't do," Mrs. Sheng said in a low voice.

Mr. Sheng smiled.

He also had his own plans in mind.

Without his mother, Gao Xi will likely become even more attached to Shen Wangshu, and his second daughter will probably have to shoulder a large part of the responsibilities of a mother.

But the second daughter will eventually get married. What will happen to Gao Xi if she marries a man who doesn't like her?

They are old. While they are alive, they can certainly dote on their grandson. But life is unpredictable. If the two of them are no longer here one day, who will Gao Xi rely on?

Mr. Sheng never considered that he had another son who could take care of Gao Xi, because he wasn't very satisfied with that son. He also didn't dare to imagine what kind of life Gao Xi would have with them if his son married a daughter-in-law who didn't like her. Only his aunt's second daughter, with her soft and gentle heart, would truly cherish the bloodline left by her sister.

Lei Xuan is also very good.

He's raising his nephew, which shows he's a good man to children, especially since Lei Tian and Gao Xi are good friends.

The two children can live and grow up happily together.

As for Sheng's mother's concern that Lei Xuan didn't know how to cherish women, Sheng's father disagreed.

What's the use of a man's sweet talk? It's enough if he puts his heart into things, thinks about everything, and is willing to do anything for a woman.

If someone flaunts their small achievements and utters sweet words and vows of eternal love, then Mr. Sheng will be worried.

Coldly shutting people out is obviously just as effective on those women outside, isn't it?

As the head of the household, his agreement meant no one could object, and Shen Wangshu was more willing. She led the two children upstairs, turning back to see Lei Xuan following behind her with his hands in his suit pockets. A genuine smile appeared in her eyes. She smiled and winked at Lei Xuan, who nodded slightly to her with a serious expression and extended his hand.

The two children on either side became alert and each grasped Shen Wangshu's hand. Lei Tian mustered his courage and said, "There are no seats left!"

He smugly took over one of Shen Wangshu's arms.

Lei Xuan gave him another deep look.

The chubby boy had long forgotten the indomitable spirit of chivalry, and nestled himself into Shen Wangshu's arms, trembling like a little piglet.

Shen Wangshu almost laughed herself to death. She watched as Lei Xuan silently withdrew his hand, stuffed both children into Gao Xi's children's room, watched the two children go to bed, turned off the lights, and then came out. She saw a tall, strong man leaning against the wall, quietly waiting for her.

The warm, dim light shone on his calm face. He seemed very patient, as if he could wait for Shen Wangshu to wait like this forever. Shen Wangshu touched the corner of her eye. She thought she would shed tears again, but she couldn't help but smile.

Upon seeing Shen Wangshu, Lei Xuan walked up to her.

His expression remained indifferent. If it weren't for Shen Wangshu, who was familiar with him, standing in front of him, any woman would have thought that this man was not moved by her.

However, Shen Wangshu would not force Lei Xuan to become the kind of man she longed for, one who would convey all his love to her.

She doesn't need this man to say "I love you" to her every day.

He was right beside her, and that was enough.

This time, she smiled and reached out her hand to Lei Xuan. A glint flashed in the man's dark eyes. He seemed slow, but actually very quickly slipped his hand into hers. The two stood under the dim light of the corridor and looked at each other for a while. Shen Wangshu even slightly raised her fair face, squinting her eyes and waiting for a natural kiss, but she saw that the man was just standing in front of her with a blank expression.

He seemed completely unaware that this was the time to kiss a woman. Shen Wangshu felt both pleased and somewhat annoyed.

Doesn't he want to be close to her?

Well, when he wanted to kiss her, she wouldn't let him.

Shen Wangshu snorted inwardly, took the man's hand, and walked towards the guest room. When they passed the Sheng family's servants, Shen Wangshu saw them all looking at her with surprise as she walked through the house with a man in her hand. She suddenly smiled.

This feeling of announcing it to the world does indeed seem like giving Ah Xuan a formal status.

She couldn't help but recall the smug look on Xiao Xuan's face in her previous life after she had publicly announced it to the entire cultivation world from the clouds. He was so proud of himself, his fox tail wagging high as he whined and acted coquettishly. Thinking of Xiao Xuan, her eyes dimmed slightly.

She remembered how Ah Xuan died in every incarnation. Every time she breathed her last, they died with her. Xiao Xuan was the first to die tragically before her eyes. She watched helplessly as the fox, who would whine and cry out in pain even with a small bloody hole in his fat paw, was blown to pieces right in front of her.
