Chapter 549 Tonight, you'll tear me apart
"Who else is in the family?" Father Shen asked, trying to calm himself down and suppress the turmoil in his heart.
"I am an orphan."
Yang Yi answered frankly.
“From now on, Lili will not have any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problems.”
"An orphan?" Father Shen was startled again.
“From now on, we are Yang Yi’s family. Dad, please stop making things difficult for him.” Shen Li couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so she came out from the side hall and stood next to Yang Yi.
"You've already taken care of her?" Father Shen glared at her, his face full of displeasure.
Shen Li took a deep breath and decided to just give up.
She turned to Yang Yi and said, "You can leave now, I'm not getting married."
"After the baby is born, I will give him to you. From then on, I will live in the Shen family and will not go anywhere else."
"That won't do!"
Upon hearing this, Shen's father immediately exploded.
"How can I give him the child? He's my Shen family's grandson!"
"If your husband's family has no one to take care of you, you will have to stay in the Shen family to recover after childbirth. You can only leave when your grandson is one year old. If he wants to marry you, he will stay with you."
This was Shen's father's final compromise.
"Okay, it's settled then." Shen Li smiled. "Would you be willing to stay with the Shen family for a year?"
Yang Yi nodded quickly, "From now on, wherever you and the child are, I will be there too."
Mr. Shen looked at him and his tone softened a bit, “Find a time to get the marriage certificate. After the baby is born, we must have a grand wedding. Our Lili must have a magnificent wedding.”
Yang Yixi raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, of course, Uncle, don't worry."
He held Shen Li's hand tightly. He would go to pay his respects to Miss Nan tomorrow and ask her to transfer him back to Qingcheng to take care of Li Li until she gave birth.
"Thank you, Dad. I think you look especially handsome today." Shen Li put her arm around his shoulder.
"Girl, be careful." Father Shen was a little happier. Fortunately, his little darling hadn't forgotten her father after getting a husband.
"What are you still standing here for? Go to the kitchen and get some bird's nest for Lili to drink. The baby must be hungry too," Mr. Shen said to Yang Yi.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Yang Yi quickly agreed and headed to the kitchen.
......
The night was gentle as the family sat together for a reunion dinner, celebrating Wen Youyou's birthday. Laughter filled the air, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful.
After dinner, Shen Xin took Wen Youyou's hand and led her to the back garden.
"call out--"
A beam of light shot into the night sky and exploded with a bang.
Brilliant fireworks burst overhead, one after another, illuminating the entire garden as bright as day.
The interplay of light and shadow illuminated the man's deep, handsome profile.
He wrapped his arms around her from behind, his warm chest pressed against her back, and his chin rested gently on her shoulder.
"Youyou, thank you for coming into my life."
His voice was deep and magnetic, and stood out clearly amidst the crackling of fireworks.
Wen Youyou tilted her head and glanced at him sideways.
"If you hadn't been so stubborn as to ram the gate of the Nan Gang back then, Sister Nan wouldn't have punished you by making you responsible for my studies for three years."
She hummed in response.
"So, the person you should thank the most is Brother Yan."
Shen Xin was taken aback.
Then, he chuckled softly, the vibrations of his chest sending a jolt through her back.
"That's right, we really have to thank Yan Jin."
You didn't like me back then.
Wen Youyou persisted, bringing up old grievances.
"They disliked my dark complexion, said I had a bad mouth, wouldn't say a word to me, and even sent me to live at school so they could avoid seeing me."
"snort."
This old grudge just came up on its own.
Shen Xin's smile froze, and she quickly tightened her arms, pulling the person completely into her embrace.
"Baby, why are you bringing up the past? Your husband was wrong."
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, his voice muffled and ingratiating.
"My husband has made you sad in the past."
"I will spend my whole life making it up to you."
He was eager to comfort her, holding her and kissing her cheeks and earlobes repeatedly, like a puppy.
Wen Youyou felt ticklish from his kisses and couldn't help but shrink her neck, but the little bit of awkwardness in her heart had long since disappeared.
She turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked up to ask.
Tell me, when exactly did you start liking me?
Shen Xin looked down at her, his eyes filled with tiny starlight and fireworks.
He thought about it carefully.
"It must have been... when you were drunk and sneaked into my bed."
He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his breath hot.
"At that time, I was indeed stimulated and... tempted."
"Very beautiful, very fair-skinned."
Wen Youyou's face flushed bright red instantly.
She recalled the scene of that night's social uproar; she had drunk herself into oblivion, not only had she climbed into the wrong bed, but the next day, she had stood up angrily, shirtless...
"I was really drunk! I went into the wrong room without realizing it, I didn't climb into bed on purpose!"
She was both embarrassed and annoyed, and clenched her little fist and slapped him.
"Okay, okay."
Shen Xin took her hand, kissed it, and his eyes were practically overflowing with laughter.
"From now on, you can climb however you want."
"Anyway, you can't escape."
He gazed at her, his eyes focused and full of affection.
Happy birthday, my darling.
"I love you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Fireworks continued to bloom tirelessly in the night sky, dazzling and spectacular.
This kiss was hotter than fireworks, carrying an undeniable force and tender affection.
He only released Wen Youyou when she was almost out of breath and her body went limp from his kisses.
The next second, he pulled her up in his arms and scooped her up in his arms.
His strong arms held her steadily, exuding boyfriend-like strength.
He carried her and strode upstairs to the bedroom.
"Honey, it's time to open your presents."
He kissed the corner of her mouth as he walked, his voice hoarse.
"Tonight, you're going to tear me apart."
Wen Youyou nestled in his arms, smiling like a cat that had just stolen some fish—bright and mischievous.
Suddenly, a series of rapid vibrations sounded.
Shen Xin's phone popped up with more than a dozen messages.
He held the person with one arm and took out his phone with the other to take a look.
It was a message from Yan Jin.
Tang Xiaoya gave birth to a son; Tang Xiaoya now has a younger brother.
Yan Jin directly posted photos of her newborn baby in the brothers' group chat.
The group chat exploded instantly.
Huo Shenyuan, Shen Xin, Bai Yu, Lu Qinglin and others lined up to send out large red envelopes, and the screen was filled with a festive red.
Not long after, Fu Beichen, who had been lurking in the shadows for ages, also appeared.
He then dropped an even bigger bombshell.
[Fu Beichen: The sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the full moon celebration for the Fu family's little princess. All gatherings will be in Haicheng. No one is allowed to be absent.]
Gu Xingnian quickly chimed in, tagging Yan Jin directly.
[Gu Xingnian: @Yan Jin, remember to bring your little Tang Xin along, Yu Yu talks about her all the time.]
Yan Jin replied with an "okay" and went to serve his wife.
Another round of cheers erupted in the group chat, followed by another shower of red envelopes.
Everyone is congratulating Fu Beichen. For over three years, this richest man in Haicheng had been waiting for a daughter so long he was practically turning into a stone statue waiting for his wife. Now, he has finally received his little darling...
