Chapter 144



Shen Man shook her head gently, "It's okay."

She actually had very little memory of her biological father. She vaguely remembered that he was very kind to her and that every time she came back from a mission, he would lift her up high and put her on his shoulders to make her happy.

Later he died, and his mother fell seriously ill. Later, he took her to remarry into the wealthy Shen family. As time passed, the memories of the past were gradually sealed in the bottom of my heart.

She almost forgot what her father looked like.

Gu Qinglin raised his wrist to check the time. It was already past six in the afternoon.

"Let's go buy some food first. I'll go to the kitchen and make a good meal. I'll also tell Xiaobei about our situation. What do you think?"

Shen Man thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

They all thought that the child was still young and didn't understand anything.

In fact, Xiaobei already knew that they were no longer married.

I guess Xiaobei has been feeling uneasy about this matter.

Now that things are almost settled, it's time to tell Xiaobei.

They bought some vegetables and two sets of cooked food outside, so the meat was definitely gone.

Meat is hard to buy. Not only do you need meat coupons, but you also need money. If you go too late, you won’t be able to get it.

But there was no meat, and he always felt something was missing. Gu Qinglin finally went to the meat processing factory to take a look. Sure enough, the meat had been sold out in the morning.

Shen Man didn't think it was a big deal. "Eggs are good even without meat. Scrambled eggs are also good with vegetables. I also have a piece of bacon. My grandma and her friends forced it on me when I went back to my hometown last time."

"꿷꽭We're going to have bacon and eggs for dinner. We've almost finished buying the vegetables. Let's go home."

Gu Qinglin looked up at the supply and marketing cooperative across the street and said to Shen Man, "Wait for me here. I'll go buy some things across the street."

After saying this, without waiting for Shen Man to answer, he strode over to the other side.

Shen Man thought he was going to buy some necessities, but when he came back, he handed a bag of White Rabbit candy to her.

"Xiaobei likes this candy. Last time I saw you liked it too."

Shen Man blinked at the man, and suddenly had a teasing thought in her mind, "Did you buy this candy for me or for the child?"

Her voice slowed down and when I listened carefully, I could hear that it was actually a bit sweet and coquettish, but coupled with her charming face, it had an irresistible charm.

Gu Qinglin's throat was dry, and he couldn't help but look at her face. "Children don't like to eat too much candy, so I bought it for you naturally."

Shen Man suddenly laughed, her eyebrows curved, and her tone slightly raised, "It turns out that Xiaobei is also here~"

"He should be sad now that he knows."

Gu Qinglin's face flushed and he looked away awkwardly, "He won't."

In Xiaobei's heart, she comes first, and White Rabbit Milk Candy always comes second. As for him, his father, his status is probably not even as high as that of a piece of candy.

Shen Man smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop talking. Xiaobei must be waiting anxiously at home. Let's go back first."

On the way home.

After Gu Qinglin mentioned it, he wanted to formally visit the Shen family. Shen Man was silent for a moment, "Don't worry, I'll go back tomorrow to take a look."

In fact, she didn't really want Shen Xiangshan to participate in her marriage. After all, when he chose to give up her for Shen Ping, the father-daughter relationship between her and him had been severed.

The reason why they are maintaining superficial harmony now is because her mother and Mingchuan are here.

Apart from what Shen Xiangshan did four years ago, he was actually very good to her mother and Mingchuan. She didn't want to ruin her mother and Mingchuan's happiness because of her affairs.

Gu Qinglin nodded without asking why. He stood silently beside her, blocking the cold autumn wind for Shen Man.

Soon, the two returned home.

Aunt Yu happened to be playing in the yard with Gu Xiaobei. When she saw the two of them walking in together, and the atmosphere around them was obviously different from before, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Their relationship had never been publicly discussed in recent days, but it was different. It was obvious that something had changed.

Gu Qinglin saw her doubts and formally introduced her, "Aunt Yu, Manman is my fiancée, and we will be married soon."

Aunt Yu widened her eyes, somewhat incredulous.

That Xiaobei’s mother…

She quickly shut her mouth and thought, forget it, she is a paid person and should just do her own thing quietly.

Gu Xiaobei was very excited when he heard the news. He ran over and hugged Shen Man's thighs, blinking his eyes, "Then can I call you mom in the future?"

Shen Man lowered her head and touched his little head. "Well, after your father and I get the marriage certificate, Xiaobei can call me mom anytime."

"But it's not possible now. I estimate that we have to wait for one or two months. During this one or two months, Xiaobei, be a good boy, okay?"

Gu Xiaobei's eyes lit up instantly, "Okay."

놙놚땣 brings mom and dad back together and makes him willing to do anything.

Aunt Yu looked at the child's happy face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Xiaobei really liked Comrade Xiaoshen. She hoped that they would still treat Xiaobei like this when they had a new child in the future.

Gu Qinglin carried the vegetables into the kitchen to cook, while Shen Man played with the children in the yard.

After the meal was ready, the family sat down to eat together again.

Gu Qinglin took the lead in picking up a piece of scrambled egg and put it into Shen Man's bowl. Facing his son's sparkling eyes, he calmly picked up a piece for his son as well.

"Eat your meal and don't just stare at it. Your mother and I won't run away."

He didn't know what happened these days. This kid always got mad when he saw him and Shen Man distracted.

Gu Xiaobei curled his lips and said, "Dad, you are so annoying. I just wanted to take a good look at you and mom, but you wouldn't let me."

Shen Man put a piece of vegetable into his bowl and glared at Gu Qinglin again.

"Don't be angry, Xiaobei. Mom has already taught him a lesson for you. You can watch whatever you want tonight. We are here with you."

She didn't take it seriously, because it was a special day and it was inevitable that the child would be a little excited.

Gu Xiaobei made a face at Gu Qinglin, "I knew that mom loves me the most."

Facing the same battle between the mother and son, Gu Qinglin raised his eyebrows and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, Daddy is wrong, Daddy apologizes to Xiaobei, Xiaobei forgives Daddy, okay?"

Gu Xiaobei raised his chin, pretended to think for a few seconds, and finally said with reluctance, "Okay, since Daddy sincerely apologizes, I forgive you."
