As the two were talking, Shen Yuandao came up to Su Mianmian, took her hand, and looked aggrieved.
Su Mianmian looked confused, "What's wrong?"
Ah Yan: ... He couldn't bear to see his brother-in-law looking like he was dying, so he left decisively and went to Su Manwen's side.
Shen Yuan said: "It's okay, I just missed you."
As soon as these words came out, the whole family looked at them. Su Mianmian's cheeks flushed and she whispered back, "I missed you too."
Shen Yuandao was satisfied after hearing this and smiled at Su Mianmian.
Su Mianmian comforted the man, then looked at Su Qingqing, "How have you been these past two days? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I always felt like I was pregnant or having a false pregnancy. Apart from feeling a little nauseous for a few days after the diagnosis, I didn't feel anything after that. I just ate and drank happily every day."
Su Qingqing said as she touched her belly, "I think I'm definitely pregnant with a girl."
After hearing this, Qin Huaichuan nodded repeatedly, with a doting smile on his lips, "Yes, yes, I think so too. Daughters are the most caring."
Grandma Su smiled helplessly, "How did you two know that? Maybe it's a boy?"
Qin Huaichuan shook his head as a matter of course, "Boys are definitely more noisy, but girls, like Jiubao, are well-behaved and sensible."
"Maybe she will be born a boy. Who says boys can't be well-behaved?" Shen Yuandao whispered beside her.
Qin Huaichuan heard this and smiled heartily, "That's fine too. I'm not picky about boys or girls. As long as they are from our family, they are all treasures."
Grandma Shen followed up, “Yes, boys and girls are both good.”
A few people were chatting, and soon Wen Yuexian and Su Xinzhang came back from buying groceries.
"Did it go well? How do you feel about attending your first meeting?" Su Xinzhang sat next to Su Mianmian and asked with a smile.
Su Mianmian nodded. "It went smoothly. With my aunt here, nothing will go wrong."
Su Manwen nodded and said, "Mianmian can do it on her own without me. She is very talented, otherwise she would not have been chosen to attend this international conference."
"Aunt, I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."
"That's right. Luckily I acted quickly and grabbed you to my side as soon as you arrived." Su Manwen said with a smile.
Wen Yuexian smiled when she heard this, "Second sister, don't praise her, or she'll get carried away."
After hearing this, Su Mianmian pretended to be angry and said, "Tsk~ Mom, how can you say that about your own daughter?"
Grandpa Wen also agreed, "Yes, don't say that about my granddaughter."
Seeing this, Su Mianmian raised her eyebrows and smiled at Wen Yuexian.
Wen Yuexian: ...Okay, she is the bad guy.
Su Xinzhang patted Wen Yuexian's hand and looked at Su Mianmian, "Your mother is right."
Seeing this, Wen Yuexian smiled proudly at Grandpa Wen, as if to say: Look, I have someone who favors me too.
Grandpa Wen smiled helplessly and thought to himself: Why is this girl still like a child?
However, this is also good, which means that she has been living well in the past few years. What has worried him the most in these years is his daughter.
Time passed quietly as the whole family chatted. When it was time for dinner, Wen Yuexian took a few young people to the kitchen and started busying themselves.
Aunt Cui didn't come today because she had something to do at home.
Wen Yuexian and Su Xinzhang had just bought a lot of vegetables and meat. In the kitchen, Wen Yuexian and Su Mianmian were busy cutting vegetables, while several other male comrades were helping wash the vegetables and assisting.
Several people divided the work and worked together, and soon made a large table of delicious dishes.
By the time Cheng Yan came to pick up Su Manwen, dinner had already started.
Wen Yuexian saw this and greeted him warmly, "Xiao Yan, come and have something to eat. You can go back after you finish eating. Try your aunt's cooking."
Su Manwen took a bite of the boiled pork slices, which was so hot that she gasped for breath. She did not forget to greet her son, "Son, come and have some food. The food your aunt-in-law cooked is delicious. You are in for a treat."
Grandma Su and Grandpa Su also warmly invited Cheng Yan to come for dinner.
Seeing this, Cheng Yan did not refuse. He smiled and sat in the empty seat next to Qin Huaichuan.
After dinner, he drove Su Manwen home.
Old Master Wen and his companions stayed here for a while, and Wen Yuexian and Su Xinzhang helped him back.
…
After everyone left, Su Mianmian and Shen Yuandao returned to their room early.
She took a change of clothes and went to take a shower. After taking a shower, she began to organize the clothes in the suitcase and the gifts she bought for everyone. Shen Yuandao ran to take a shower.
When Shen Yuandao came back from taking a shower, Su Mianmian hadn't finished tidying up yet, so he asked, "Can I help you tidy up?"
Su Mianmian looked back at him and said, "No, I'll be fine soon."
Shen Yuandao nodded without forcing it. He walked to the desk, sat down, turned on the desk lamp, and began to process the documents in his hand.
His focused look left Su Mianmian stunned for a moment. He was so handsome, and he would be even more handsome if he wore a pair of glasses.
Shen Yuandao noticed the gaze behind him and turned around to smile at Su Mianmian. Su Mianmian was a little stunned when she saw him suddenly turn around. After she reacted, she quickly lowered her head to tidy up her clothes.
Shen Yuandao shook his head and laughed when he saw this, and remembered to deal with the documents.
When Shen Yuandao finished processing the documents, he looked up and found that Su Mianmian was already lying on the bed. She was curled up with her eyes closed and a faint smile on her face.
Shen Yuandao turned off the lights, climbed onto the bed gently, opened the quilt and lay down next to Su Mianmian. He turned sideways and looked at her quietly.
Su Mianmian waited for a long time but didn't see Shen Yuandao make any move, so she couldn't help but feel curious.
She wanted to ask but didn't know how to start, and she was very conflicted.
She turned over, her back to Shen Yuandao, and after a while she turned over again, this time facing Shen Yuandao.
Shen Yuandao chuckled when he saw this.
He put his arm around Su Mianmian's shoulders and gently held her in his arms.
Then he leaned close to her ear and said in a low and gentle voice: "Sleep well and don't move."
Su Mianmian was a little surprised. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so shouldn't they do that as soon as they met?
Shen Yuandao seemed to know what she was thinking and smiled again, “You just came back, you must be exhausted, go to bed early.”
After saying that, he patted Su Mianmian's back.
She snuggled in Shen Yuandao's arms and closed her eyes when she heard him say that.
After a while, she fell asleep.
Shen Yuandao looked at Su Mianmian who was sleeping in his arms, his heart filled with satisfaction and happiness.
He pulled her into his arms, held her tighter, and fell asleep too.
…
The next morning
Su Mianmian slept until she woke up naturally. When she woke up, she found that the other side of the bed was no longer warm. It was obvious that Shen Yuandao had already gotten up and gone to work.
Su Mianmian felt relaxed after a good sleep, so she put on her clothes and walked out.
Five old men were basking in the sun in the yard, while Jiubao and Ayan were squatting on the side teasing Baibai.
Su Mianmian smiled at everyone and was about to go wash up, but was stopped by Jiubao.
"Mom, I went to bed too early yesterday and I didn't even see the presents."
