Chapter 174 Backer
"It's not just happiness, husband." Lu Zhenyu hugged Shen Jingsi and pressed her face against his burning chest. "It's bliss, so much bliss."
"When a wife is happy, her husband is happy."
"So when do we plan to go back to China?"
Shen Jingsi took a liking to Lu Zhenyu, "Want to go home?"
It wasn't that they missed home; it was that their childhood friends were there.
Lu Zhenyu always felt that no matter how much one wanders in life, one will eventually return to one's roots.
"Besides, Manman is about to give birth, so if we move back, I can also take care of her."
Like the two sisters, they lost their mothers at a young age. She had a foster mother, and Feng Manman had a second foster mother. But the foster mothers also had their own flesh and blood, and they were never as good as their biological mothers.
Women are especially sensitive and vulnerable during childbirth, and Lu Zhenyu didn't want her sisters to feel insecure when they needed their loved ones most.
Although she has a loving husband and a doting mother-in-law, the support and care from her maternal family is irreplaceable.
After hearing this, Shen Jingsi hugged her tightly and remained silent for a long time. "Okay, if my wife wants to go back, then we'll go back. I'll make the arrangements."
Lu Zhenyu nodded.
Reflecting on his wife's words, Shen Jingsi chuckled and pinched the little face in his arms, "Wife."
"Um?"
He suddenly said, "Your husband is your support, always will be."
Lu Zhenyu, who was lying quietly in her husband's arms, was stunned for a moment.
It was just a perfectly normal sentence between husband and wife, but it made her eyes involuntarily redden.
She reached up and wrapped her arms around the top of her neck, burying her slightly moist eyes in the hollow of her neck that smelled of alcohol.
Feng Manman still has her father and brothers, and her father himself is an orphan. Therefore, Lu Zhenyu can be said to have almost no blood relatives in this world except for his daughter.
Shen Jingsi's seemingly nonsensical remark was actually telling her that he was not only her husband, but also her family.
She had no family to back her up, but she had him.
"Honey, I'm your support too, so you can't shoulder everything by yourself anymore, okay? It hurts me." A muffled voice came from the crook of his neck. "No matter what problems we encounter, we have to talk about them and discuss solutions together. There can be no secrets, and you can't use the excuse of 'it's for your own good' to take all the blame on yourself, okay?"
The alcohol stirred something within Shen Jingsi, causing him to hug Lu Zhenyu tightly. "Wife, I'm a man."
Lu Zhenyu laughed, "What's wrong with men?"
A man must be able to shoulder responsibilities, be strong enough to protect his wife, and support his children.
Shen Jingsi learned these things from his father at a very young age, but unfortunately he was too young then, and although he had the principles, he only knew how to act impulsively.
Now, after several setbacks, he understands completely.
"A man should love his wife, pamper her, and make her happy for a lifetime."
Lu Zhenyu smiled, her eyes still moist, and cupped Shen Jingsi's face, giving him a big kiss. "I'll spoil you too, my wife."
Just as the couple were enjoying their time together, their daughter came over.
"Daddy, Mommy."
Judging from her little expression, she must be in a bad mood. Lu Zhenyu, who was being held by Shen Jingsi, reached out and hugged her daughter again.
"What's wrong? Who bullied our little one? Was it Uncle Si?"
Pearl shook her head, staring blankly at one spot, without saying a word.
Just as Lu Zhenyu was puzzled, Shen Jingsi reached out and pinched her waist, gesturing for her to look towards the piano.
When Lu Zhenyu looked up and saw the two little figures sitting in front of the piano, she understood.
Looking at his own daughter again, he found it inexplicably amusing.
This little kid is already jealous. When they were four or five years old, they probably only liked to eat candy.
Shen Jingsi: That's not necessarily true.
Lu Zhenyu: ...
Okay, so it seems this is genetic.
Gently rubbing her daughter's slightly wrinkled face, the mother patiently asked, "Do you want Shinichi to play with you?"
Pearl wanted to nod, but then she also wanted to shake her head, her heart filled with mixed feelings. "I can't explain it either."
Shen Jingsi gently rubbed his daughter's lowered head. "If you can't explain it clearly, then speak slowly. Daddy and Mommy are waiting for you, my darling."
Pearl poked her finger and thought for a moment, then looked at the two people sitting side by side on the piano bench studying the piece.
She sighed, looking rather dejected. "It's not that I don't want Shinichi to play with Xixi, it's just... it's just..."
The couple were really patient, leaning against the wall and waiting for their daughter to organize her thoughts, "Well... Xixi is quite pretty."
The couple couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Okay, okay, so after all this fuss about relationships, it turns out he suddenly felt threatened when he met a beautiful young woman just as pretty as himself.
Shen Jing laughed the loudest, but Lu Zhenyu slapped her and then hugged the daughter who was giving her father a resentful look.
“But our Pearl Baby is also super beautiful in her parents’ hearts.” Lu Zhenyu retorted to Chen Jingsi.
The father leaned in and said, "Mommy is wrong. To Daddy, Pearl is the most beautiful pearl in the whole world and the entire universe, without a doubt."
Lu Zhenyu: "..."
Children should not be educated in this way. If they think they are the most beautiful and capable person in the world, when they grow up and go out into society, they will find that they are not unique. This gap will cause psychological problems to develop in children.
Lu Zhenyu secretly pinched her husband in annoyance, then rubbed her daughter's cheek. "Baby, we also need to allow for the existence of many other beautiful and handsome children besides ourselves. This world doesn't just belong to Pearl."
Although Pearl was young, she knew that there were many powerful people outside this villa.
The little girl didn't understand what jealousy was, but she definitely didn't dislike Xixi; in fact, she liked her very much.
Because she was the only little beauty she had ever seen who looked just as pretty as her.
"I'm just afraid that Shinichi-nii will think Xixi is too pretty and won't like me anymore."
The couple suddenly realized something.
"So, my darling is feeling insecure." Lu Zhenyu tightened her embrace. "What's wrong with that? Before you go to bed tonight, Mommy will ask your brother Xin Yi if he still likes Pearl, okay?"
The little one's eyes lit up immediately!
"good!"
-
Everyone arrived the day before, and Shen Jingsi returned home the next day.
In Feng Manman's words, "Is he afraid we'll get him drunk today, so he deliberately ran away?"
Shen Jinchuan rubbed his wife's round face. "I'm not avoiding you, I really have something to do."
Lu Zhenyu didn't think much of it. With so many responsibilities on his shoulders, running back and forth between China and abroad was the norm for Shen Jingsi.
Little did she know that the man who had promised her the night before that they would talk about everything and face everything together as a couple would do so, was secretly risking his life the very next day.
Feng Jinheng and his family of three returned to Beijing with Shen Jingsi.
Before leaving, Shen Jingsi hugged and kissed Lu Zhenyu, saying, "Stay home with your daughter and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
Lu Zhenyu is not a clingy girl; even without her husband, she can support the family on her own.
She reached out and dusted off her husband's oversized coat, whom she would be separated from for a while. "Remember to let me know you've landed safely. Don't skimp on your meals. Video chat with the kids when you get home from get off work."
With a look of reluctance in his eyes, Shen Jingsi kissed his wife's forehead again. "Okay."
