Chapter 782 Settling things down sooner will make it a legitimate reason to protect them.
The day after returning to Beicheng, Leyan and Lin Xiangyu went to Sanxian Supermarket early in the morning and bought a lot of ingredients.
The two sisters immediately got to work in the kitchen as soon as they got home.
After the meat filling was prepared, the two sat down together at the table to wrap the meat.
Lin Xiangyu makes xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and Le Yang makes xiaohuntun (wontons).
After a busy morning, we finally finished wrapping them.
Looking at the twenty takeout boxes full of steamed buns and wontons, Lin Xiangyu couldn't help but sigh, "This is enough for Mr. Fu to eat for a month."
"Hmm, it seems like there's a bit too much..." Le Yan said with a troubled expression.
"They're all packed up. We can't leave them any longer; we're going away for three months!"
"That's true, or should I ask Attorney Shen if he wants some?"
"It seems like that's a good idea!" Lin Xiangyu said. "We're so fortunate to have this opportunity now, all thanks to Attorney Shen who made the connection back then!"
"Okay, I'll send a message to Attorney Shen..."
...
It's the weekend, and Shen Anning didn't go to the law firm; she stayed home with her two sons.
Just as Leyan sent the WeChat message, the sound of a car came from the courtyard.
Chenchen, with his sharp ears, pointed outside excitedly and exclaimed, "Uncle's back!"
Shen Anning and Shen Qingshu exchanged a glance.
Shen Qingshu patted her grandson's head: "Our Chenchen has such amazing hearing. He can tell the difference between all the cars in the house just by hearing them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Nian'an walked in from outside the door.
He changed his shoes and walked towards the living room.
"uncle!"
"uncle!"
Chenchen and Zhizhi ran towards Fu Nian'an together.
Fu Nian'an squatted down and picked up her two nephews, one in each arm.
Looking at the two increasingly round faces, the usually indifferent man's gaze softened with affection. "Did you miss your uncle?"
"I want to!" Chenchen hugged Fu Nian'an's neck. "I've been thinking about it for five days, from Monday to Friday!"
"real?"
"Really!" Chenchen nodded vigorously. "So, since Uncle thinks so much about you, shouldn't you give me a reward?"
Fu Nian'an knew this kid was up to something!
"My uncle has invested all his money in a new project recently, so he doesn't have the money to buy you limited edition Transformers for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Chenchen was taken aback. "No money left?"
"Um, I don't have any money right now."
"How long will it take?"
“This…” Fu Nian’an pretended to think for a moment before saying, “It might take another six months.”
"So long?" Chenchen frowned. "Then Uncle, please put me down first!"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
You heartless bastard.
Fu Nian'an put her nephew, who was kicking his legs wildly, on the ground.
As soon as Chenchen landed, he ran outside.
This operation confused even the adults.
Shen Anning called out to Chenchen, "Chenchen, where are you going?"
Little Chenchen took out his little shoes from the shoe cabinet, sat on the floor to change them, and said without looking up, "I'm going to find Dad. I'm going to ask Dad to give the money to Uncle! What does a grown man like him need so much money for? Grandma and Grandpa said that Uncle hasn't gotten married yet and needs to earn more money to get married. He hasn't even gotten married yet, how can he go without money for half a year!"
Shen Anning: "..."
Fu Nian'an: "..." He's so filial!
Upon hearing her grandson's words, Shen Qingshu covered her mouth and laughed until tears almost streamed down her face.
Upon hearing Chenchen's words, Zhizhi immediately scrambled out of Fu Nian'an's arms and ran happily towards Chenchen, saying, "Little brother, I'll go with you! We'll go ask together! If Daddy doesn't give it to us, we'll cry together!"
After changing their shoes, the two brothers held hands and ran next door to ask their father for money.
The front door was ajar, and soon after, the innocent voices of two brothers drifted from the neighboring yard—
"Dad, open the door! We're here to ask for money!"
"Dad, open the door quickly! Uncle doesn't have money to get married! Dad, please give Uncle money to get married!"
...
A moment of silence fell over the living room.
A moment later, Fu Nian'an chuckled softly.
Then, he stood up and looked at his younger sister, "Shen Anning, these two are truly your sons. The mischievous ideas in their little heads are just as good as yours when you were a child."
Shen Anning was both amused and exasperated. "Was I ever this much of a troublemaker when I was a kid?"
“Speaking of this, I have a lot to say.” Fu Siyan, who was sitting next to Shen Qingshu and reading a newspaper while wearing glasses, closed the newspaper and took off his glasses.
He looked at Shen Anning and said, "When you were the age of Chenchen and Zhizhi, you were always thinking about finding yourself a stepfather. You were also a little looks-obsessed person, and you would say you wanted to introduce any handsome guy you saw to your mother as her husband."
Shen Anning was extremely shocked. "Dad, you're not lying to me, how could I possibly do that!"
“Dad is right.” Fu Nian’an put one hand in her pocket. “Back then, when Dad and Mom were getting a divorce, Uncle Feng, Godfather, and Uncle Han… basically, you thought any handsome man around you was better than Dad.”
Shen Anning didn't believe it. She looked at Shen Qingshu and said, "Mom, my dad and my brother are definitely lying to me, right?"
Shen Qingshu covered her mouth and laughed, "It seems there was such a period, but you were still young then, so it's normal that you didn't understand."
"Really?" Shen Anning blinked, but her focus was on something else. "So, did my dad also go through the 'chasing after his wife' phase?"
"Yes, I have." Fu Siyan coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed.
Shen Qingshu smiled, took her husband's hand, looked at her daughter and said, "Your father had some difficulties when he was young, but we talked them out and it was all right. Just like you and Qi Yue, fate played a trick on you. We've been through it ourselves, and we understand that mutual trust between two people is far more important than love. So Xiaoning, remember, no matter what, trust is the basic condition for two people to be together."
Shen Anning nodded solemnly, "Mom, don't worry, after going through so much, I've grown up now."
“Yes, you and Qi Yue have gone through so many trials, and we, as your elders, have seen the changes in you both. Now, all that’s missing is Nian’an.” As soon as Shen Qingshu finished speaking, everyone’s eyes turned to Fu Nian’an.
Fu Nian'an: "..."
I knew it wouldn't be that easy to get him back.
"Oh, right, Le Yan just texted me!" Shen Anning picked up her phone and raised an eyebrow at Fu Nian'an: "Do you want to know what she texted me?"
Fu Nian'an said expressionlessly, "You're in charge of all her contracts right now, so it's normal for her to send you messages."
"Oh!" Shen Anning raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say you weren't interested in her? But I can tell you know a lot about her!"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan looked at Fu Nian'an and said earnestly, "If you really like that girl, you should be more proactive and not always have a cold face. I heard from your mother that the girl is seven years younger than you. She will be thirty-one after the New Year. If you keep dragging it out, she will think you are too old."
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Shen Qingshu also advised, "I called you back today to be honest with you. I had someone investigate Leyan's background. There's nothing wrong with her character. It's just that she comes from a poor family and is unloved by her parents. If you really care about her, then you should behave well. We'll try to settle down as soon as possible so that we can protect her legitimately and let her suffer less."
