Shen Heng originally planned to invite Wang Fushun and Shan Guanwen to a restaurant for dinner, but Wang Fushun insisted, "Brother Heng, you're so stingy! Restaurant food can't compare to your wife's cooking. Shan Guanwen has never eaten your wife's cooking before!"

After saying that, he nudged Shan Guanwen, signaling him to speak.

Shan Guanwen lowered his head and hunched his neck, adjusted his glasses, and couldn't utter a single fart for a long time.

"Wherever the boss says, we'll go."

"Can't you even speak properly?" Wang Fushun wanted to kick him as soon as he saw him.

"Alright, I'll go back and ask Jiaojiao if she has time. Wang Fushun, you should learn from others. Just do what the boss says, and stop having so many wild ideas all the time!"

Shen Heng kicked Wang Fushun, who jumped up and down, clutching his leg. "Brother Heng, don't kick my pants and get them dirty! I just bought this suit! I haven't even asked you for reimbursement yet, since I was just doing it to help the factory with business."

Wang Fushun now dresses impeccably, and if he doesn't act silly, he really does have the air of a manager from a big factory, and people really like him.

Seeing that Shen Heng had kicked Wang Fushun, Shan Guanwen dared not speak anymore, and adjusted his glasses, which had no room to be pushed up.

Bai Jiaojiao cooked two side dishes for them that evening and said, "The three of you are bound to drink when you get together. I'm going to sleep at my godmother's house with Shitou."

"No, you're going to leave me alone in this room tonight? Don't go."

In the past, it was fine if Wang Fushun came over for a meal, since he was an acquaintance, but Shen Heng would not drink with him.

But Shan Guanwen is a guest, a newly made friend. If it's a social gathering, Bai Jiaojiao is afraid that a bunch of noisy men will keep her from sleeping.

"You can ladle out the soup from the pot later. Little Stone and I are leaving now."

Bai Jiaojiao scooped a little of each of the two stir-fries, and also picked up some braised snacks that Shen Heng had bought to go with his drinks. She then carried Shen Shi to Xiang Anqi's house.

As she was leaving, she ran into Wang Fushun, who was carrying a bottle of wine.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

“I’m afraid you’ll disturb the child by drinking, so I’ll send the child to his maternal grandmother.”

"I'm so sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law. It's all because of that boy Shan Guanwen. He insisted on coming over for dinner after hearing that you're a good cook. Please don't be angry with him."

Seeing Wang Fushun's glib tongue, Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but joke, "Really? I heard Heng-ge say that you were the one who wanted to come?"

"this......"

"Haha, just kidding. You go ahead, I'm eating with my godparents, I won't join you three drinking. Shunzi, you have to help Heng-ge treat Shan Guanwen well."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law," Wang Fushun patted his chest, "I'm going to drink him under the table today!"

Bai Jiaojiao: "......"

Bai Jiaojiao had dinner at Xiang Anqi's house and then slept with Shen Shi on the small bed prepared for him. This room was originally a small study that Xiang Anqi had partitioned off, but it was only after Shen Shi came into the picture that this room was created.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door outside my house.

Xiang Anqi woke up and opened the door, saying, "It's probably my son-in-law who's here."

As soon as the door opened, Shen Heng was indeed standing outside.

"Godfather, I'm sorry it's so late. I've come to pick up Jiaojiao and take her home."

Xiang Anqi touched his face. The old man was light sleepy, but still a little groggy from waking up suddenly: "It's the middle of the night, what's wrong with letting her sleep here all night? It's not like it's someone else's house. Would Teacher Xu and I sell her?"

"That's not what I meant, Godfather. I saw that Jiaojiao came without bringing anything. She has to pack her things for class tomorrow morning."

Shen Heng and Xiang Anqi entered the room with smiles on their faces.

Xu Hong also woke up and said from the side, "Are you saying that we can't leave even for one night and we have to take them back?"

While Bai Jiaojiao was packing her things, Shen Heng went over and picked up the sleeping Shen Shi.

He grinned and said, "Godmother was right, we can't do without each other for a while."

After drinking some wine, Shen Heng became even more incoherent, earning him a glare from Bai Jiaojiao.

"Godfather, Godmother, we're sorry to disturb your sleep. We'll head back now."

"Why don't you two just leave Little Stone here? That way you won't have to bring him over tomorrow morning. He doesn't get up at night anymore, does he?"

Xu Hong looked at the sleepy-eyed Shen Shi and said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Heng thought, "Great idea! She's really my mother!"

"Godmother is right."

Shen Heng immediately put Shen Shi down.

“Okay, let’s not bother the child anymore. Godfather and Godmother, Little Stone will need your help again tonight.” Bai Jiaojiao agreed.

As soon as the two stepped out of the room, Chen Shi started crying when he saw his parents were about to leave.

Logically speaking, Shen Shi had always been taken care of by his maternal grandmother at her house. He never cried when Bai Jiaojiao came to drop him off during the day. When the two of them were not at home, and Bai Jiaojiao did not come to pick up Shen Shi, he would obediently sleep at his maternal grandmother's house. But today, he started crying and making a fuss.

"Mom, Mom..."

Chen Shi doesn't cry much, but he has a loud voice. The building isn't well soundproofed, so he might wake up the neighbors downstairs.

"I'd better take him back." Shen Shi looked so pitiful crying that Bai Jiaojiao, as his mother, couldn't bear it and went over to pick him up.

Xu Hong laughed and said, "This child still can't be without his mother at night."

Shen Heng gritted his teeth, thinking, "This kid has absolutely no sense of propriety."

I'm not going to let this kid get married in the future!

Xu Hong saw the family of three out, and Shen Heng said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, godfather and godmother. You should go to sleep early. I'm really sorry."

"Be careful on your way back, you three." Xiang Anqi yawned, waved his hand, and closed the door after seeing the family of three go down the stairs to the fourth floor.

"You're really embarrassing yourself. It's so late at night, your godparents will laugh at you!"

Bai Jiaojiao carried Shen Shi and walked quickly.

Shen Heng chased after him, trying to take Shen Shi away, but Bai Jiaojiao wouldn't let him. Shen Heng begged for mercy, "I really can't live without you, can I? Besides, if you go to someone else's house to sleep, people will think we've been arguing. I never argue with you, you can't ruin my reputation."

"Do you need to ruin your reputation?"

Bai Jiaojiao couldn't win against Shen Heng, so she handed Shen Shi to him.

It was much easier for Shen Heng to carry her, and Bai Jiaojiao snorted and strode forward.

Shen Heng said to Shen Shi, who was in his arms, "Hurry up and comfort your mother."

Shen Shi called out to Bai Jiaojiao, "Mom."

"Calling me 'Mom' won't help, it's because your dad is a bad person."

"Naughty!" Shen Shi's chubby little hand patted Shen Heng's chest. It wasn't very aggressive, but it was quite damaging to Shen Heng.

"You dare to hit me when you're so young? What will you be like when you grow up?"

Shen Heng glared at him with his tiger-like eyes, and Shen Shi burst into tears.

"Heng-ge, why did you provoke him?"

"I was just teasing him, I didn't do anything." Shen Heng said sheepishly, bouncing Shen Shi in his arms, unable to coax him.
