"I didn't do anything."
Shen Xingmian looked down at her and said helplessly, "Xu Yao has done too many bad things, she's getting her just desserts."
Nanzhi: "..."
This reason is too perfunctory. If those who do bad things in this world could be punished, then there would be no need for anyone to uphold justice. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Some bad people live better than anyone else, and even act with impunity.
"Fine, don't tell me then."
Nan Zhi angrily shook off Shen Xingmian's hand, "I want to switch seats with A Ying and sit with Fei Ang."
She was about to unbuckle her seatbelt when Shen Xingmian's hand was faster, pressing down on Nan Zhi's hand. Her temples twitched slightly with exasperation. "I said, don't be stubborn."
Nan Zhi pouted, "I'm not making a scene, I just don't want to sit with you."
Shen Xingmian: "......." Isn't this just throwing a tantrum?
“You didn’t pursue Xu Yao’s attempt to harm you before because of Grandpa’s sake, but she still doesn’t know how to repent this time. Zhizhi, I’m your husband, and I can’t watch you suffer. This is already the result of my concession. It’s the same with Chuchu. She will never be able to get out of here again.”
Just thinking about the panic and fear that Nan Zhi felt after being hit by a car made Shen Xingmian tremble all over. He was afraid that this time would be the same as that time. In fact, at least there was hope to wait then, but this time, there was no hope at all.
Whether it's Lian Chuchu, Xu Yao, or anyone else, as long as he thinks about hurting Nan Zhi, he will not let Nan Zhi suffer any harm, even if it means risking committing a crime.
This kind of despair, twice is enough.
Hearing Shen Xingmian's explanation, Nanzhi felt a warmth in her heart. This man was so good to her. Although he was awful when he was young, Shen Xingmian was now a good husband and would be a good father in the future.
She reached out and hugged the man's neck, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Shen Xingmian, you're so good to me."
Shen Xingmian lowered her head in the direction she was looking, gently kissed the corner of Nan Zhi's mouth, and whispered, "I'm not good, but I want to get better and better."
Nanzhi's face suddenly turned red, and she muttered, "You've already done very well."
Shen Xingmian held her in his arms. "No, not at all. Otherwise, you wouldn't have needed to lie in bed for months, and you wouldn't have been bullied like this."
Xu Yao was able to give Liu Qi money this time only because she had the Xu family backing her up; otherwise, how could she possibly come up with that amount of money on her own?
Therefore, the best revenge against this person is to make her lose everything, and the rest of the Xu family should not even think about giving Xu Yao any favors in private.
Upon returning to the capital, Gu Ying went back first, while Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian took Shen Feiang to the Shen family's old residence.
The child they adopted will be a descendant of the Shen family from now on, and it is necessary to let Shen Feiang meet with Old Master Shen.
When Old Shen saw Shen Fei'ang, he almost lost his footing. He pointed at Shen Fei'ang, his gaze falling on Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian, "The child you adopted, is that him?"
Shen Xingmian nodded, and Old Master Shen sighed, "But you're not young anymore, are you?"
He truly hadn't expected that they would adopt such a child. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem, but he worried that once the child developed his own thoughts, he wouldn't know how to be grateful.
Ultimately, Old Master Shen was still thinking of Nanzhi and Shen Xingmian.
He felt that he should adopt a child, since Nanzhi was unable to have children due to a car accident. But since he had made up his mind to adopt, he wanted to adopt a good one. The one he was looking for didn't seem special.
"Grandpa, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, Fei'ang is fine and will be a good boy in the future."
Shen Xingmian pulled Nan Zhi and Shen Feiang to sit down and solemnly addressed Elder Shen.
"We are serious about this, Grandpa, don't worry."
When Shen Feiang heard Shen Xingmian say these words, his eyes welled up with tears. So that's how his father thought of him. He was a good child after all.
In the past two days, Shen Xingmian has never shown any emotion to Shen Feiang. Sometimes, Shen Feiang can even feel a strange hostility in Shen Xingmian's gaze, especially when Nan Zhi is showing concern for him.
Now that Shen Xingmian said this, Shen Feiang's sadness undoubtedly flew away. All he wanted was his parents' approval and affection. As long as he wasn't disliked, he was already very satisfied.
Old Shen stared at Shen Feiang for a long time. Nanzhi patted the boy's head and said, "Feiang, call him Great-Grandpa."
Shen Feiang was taken aback, then obediently stood up, bowed to Old Master Shen, and said, "Hello, Great-Grandpa."
Now, Old Shen could no longer stare at Shen Feiang. He looked like a well-behaved child, but he wasn't his biological son after all, so Old Shen didn't have any particular feelings about him.
During this period, the old man also couldn't sleep or eat well.
At first, he was eager to hold his great-grandchild, but who knew that fate would play such a cruel joke on him.
He sighed, "Since you like it, then keep it. I'm old and can't manage so much anymore. It's getting late, so you can eat at the old house tonight."
Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian exchanged a smile, finally relieved.
After finishing their meal at the old house, the two of them took Shen Feiang home.
Shen Feiang's bedroom had already been decorated the day he was found.
"Fei'ang, this is our home now. From now on, if you want anything, just tell Mom and Dad. We'll spend the money we earn on you, okay?"
Shen Feiang nodded. "Thank you, Mom."
Then he turned to Shen Xingmian and said, "Thank you, Dad."
Shen Xingmian nodded. "Get some rest. I'll take you to register for school tomorrow."
Shen Feiang's eyes lit up. He could go to school again. He happily shouted, "Thank you, Dad!"
Shen Xingmian was taken aback by the call, but he didn't feel repulsed; instead, he felt a strange sense of excitement.
Becoming a father for the first time, even though the child was adopted, Shen Xingmian realized that there was now a new person in their family, and that this was his and Nanzhi's son.
She reached out and touched the child's hair. "Okay, go and rest."
Shen Feiang happily turned around and went into his bedroom.
Nan Zhi turned her head and stared at Shen Xingmian strangely for a while, making Shen Xingmian feel a little uncomfortable.
"Shen Xingmian, you repressed pervert."
Shen Xingmian: "......"
Nan Zhi's comment was spot on: "You clearly like Fei Ang too, but you act like you don't care and that you hate him. You're such a hypocrite."
Shen Xingmian looked at her, "I didn't."
Nan Zhi: "If you have it, then you have it."
Shen Xingmian: "......"
Talking to Nanzhi too much wouldn't make a difference, so Shen Xingmian decided to stop talking, bent down, and picked Nanzhi up in his arms.
Nan Zhi stared wide-eyed and pounded on Shen Xingmian's chest, "Why are you hugging me? I can walk by myself."
Shen Xingmian gave her a half-smile, "Of course we should go back to our room and get things done, Zhizhi. We need to give Feiang a younger brother or sister as soon as possible."
Nanzhi: "..."
