After relieving herself of her physical needs, Ning Yanshu planned to go back to her room to continue sleeping.
Just before closing the door, he stood with his hands on his hips and warned Shen Fu fiercely, "Dad, you're not allowed to bully Mom! Xiao Shu's ears are super sensitive; I can hear everything that's happening outside!!!"
"If you dare to hit Mom or make her cry, I'll kick Dad out!"
Ning Wan and Shen Fu were both amused and exasperated.
Ning Yanshu only gave up after Shen Fu repeatedly assured him.
With the door to the room closed, the living room returned to silence once more.
Ning Wan teased Shen Fu with a smile in her eyes, saying, "Sorry. It seems I can't help Aman with this."
He sighed softly.
The downside of a small house lies precisely in this...
...
Shen Fu coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, the heat in his body having long since subsided.
He resumed his serious demeanor and said, "However, there is one thing I do need Wanwan's help with."
"What is it?" Ning Wan asked him curiously.
“Shen Xinrou’s engagement banquet will be held at the Yuncheng Grand Hotel tomorrow night. As the president of Shenhao Group, I must attend.” Shen Fu paused, then continued, “There will be many reporters present, and I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce you and Xiaoshu to everyone.”
"But is this really okay?" Ning Wan asked. "After all, it's someone else's engagement party. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to overshadow them like this?"
"Wanwan, don't worry." Shen Fu smiled nonchalantly and said, "Whether this engagement banquet can be held smoothly is still uncertain."
Meeting Ning Wan's puzzled look, Shen Fu explained, "Shen Xinrou's fiancé is Zhang Yuan, the second son of Zhang Liang, the political commissar of Yuncheng City."
“Zhang Yuan is a notorious playboy in Yuncheng, with a terrible reputation in the industry. If Shen Jiahao hadn’t been trying to win him over, Shen Xinrou would probably be someone he couldn’t possibly befriend.”
Although Shen Xinrou is not young, she has remained unmarried for 32 years in the Shen family.
But with the status of the Shenhao Group, no one dared to say a word of disdain for her.
When Zhang Liang learned that his son's crush was the gentle and quiet Shen Xinrou, he was overjoyed, believing his son had changed his ways.
Zhang Liang took the initiative to meet with Shen Jiahao twice, and soon the marriage was arranged.
"Many people benefit from this 'good match': Zhang Yuan is happy, Zhang Liang is happy, and Shen Jiahao is even happier. But Shen Xinrou and Shen Xinxing may not be so happy..."
Shen Fu kept in mind what Grandma Chen had told him back then.
The fact that even the intelligent Ning Wan cared so much about him meant that Shen Fu could only say that he had underestimated him in the past.
In my memory, Shen Xinxing was frail and sickly from a young age and liked to tattle.
His dependence on his older sister Shen Xinrou has far exceeded that on Gao Muyun.
In Shen Xinxing's mind, no other man is worthy of her sister.
But now, driven by Shen Jiahao's interests, Shen Xinrou is forced to marry that kind of man.
I'm afraid Shen Xinxing might do something about this again...
...
The next afternoon, Shen Yurong was ordered to go to the kindergarten and pick up Ning Yanshu and Shen Xu, bringing them to the Yuncheng Hotel.
Ning Yanshu was greatly impressed by the golden and magnificent decorations around her.
This was his first time visiting such a high-end and luxurious place.
Ning Yanshu opened his big eyes wide, curiously looking at everything around him. Shen Xu held his little hand tightly, afraid of losing him.
The three of them took the elevator and went to the banquet hall on the 26th floor.
The engagement banquet has not yet started, but many guests are already waiting at the scene.
We walked through the crowd and around the corridor.
Shen Yurong led the children to a guest room and stopped. He gently knocked on the door.
From behind the door came a deep, resonant, and dangerous voice: "...Who!"
Ning Yanshu exclaimed happily, "Daddy, Daddy, it's us! We're here!"
About half a minute later, the door was opened.
Shen Fu stood behind the door, dressed in a sharp suit.
The dim lighting in the corridor accentuated his strong, aloof features. His well-tailored light gray suit made him appear even more upright.
His eyes were somewhat cold, and his brows were furrowed.
But when she saw Ning Yanshu, the frost in her eyes melted away. Her voice softened unconsciously: "Little Shu is back?"
"Where's Mom?" Ning Yanshu craned his neck and peered out.
Chen Fu stepped aside to make way.
Upon entering the room, Ning Yanshu immediately spotted Ning Wan sitting in front of the vanity mirror.
Ning Wan was wearing a light gray long dress, which was a matching style with Shen Fu's suit.
The off-the-shoulder design perfectly accentuated her excellent shoulder and neck proportions.
The waist-cinching straps at the back make her waist appear even slimmer and more delicate.
Ning Wan has fair skin and rarely wears makeup.
But today, with a touch of makeup, it reveals a different kind of charm.
That small, delicate face, with subtly drawn eyebrows. Beneath those arched, slender brows, her eyes were clean and clear.
Below her high, delicate nose, her lips were rosy and full.
However, the lipstick on it wasn't applied evenly, as if someone had maliciously rubbed off a piece.
Upon closer inspection, one can also notice that Ning Wan's earlobes, adorned with pearl pendants, are slightly flushed red, the color even staining her slender neck. This, combined with the diamond necklace around her neck, creates a harmonious and beautiful effect.
Ning Yanshu's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "Mom, you're so beautiful! You seem to be glowing!"
