Chapter 472 Chapter 472 A Man with a Hard Life
Shen Qinghuan was no longer surprised by Jiang Yu's image as a good dad.
Ever since she gave birth to little Digua, he would stay by her side whenever he had time, except for sleeping across from her. Sometimes he would even take the initiative to change little Digua's diapers, and he was so skilled that he was even more professional than the nanny hired at home.
Shen Qinghuan didn't want to chat with him, so she didn't reply to her, but she couldn't stand his bombardment of messages.
"Mother, why are you ignoring me? Did I say something wrong? I admit my mistake."
"Is my attitude of admitting my mistakes not correct enough? So much so that you don't want to talk to me anymore."
"Oh! My life is so miserable!"
"Shen Qinghuan, why don't you want to pay attention to me? Is there a man who is more handsome than me chasing you? That's impossible! Tao Jin's roommate is not as handsome as me! My dear mother, you have to open your eyes and don't be fooled."
…
Listening to the occasional notification tone of his cell phone, Shen Qinghuan took a deep breath and wished he could bury his phone.
She picked up her phone angrily and turned it to silent mode without any hesitation.
Then, quietly and calmly turn on the computer and start a new day's work.
When Li Meng called, Shen Qinghuan had just finished feeding little Digu.
When she saw her cell phone ringing, she handed the little sweet potato to the nanny and asked the nanny to burp the little sweet potato.
"Are you missing me?" Shen Qinghuan asked jokingly.
On the other end of the phone, Li Meng stretched tiredly and said, "Yeah! I miss you and my godson too. Huanhuan, we haven't gone out to eat together for a long time. How about I treat you tonight?"
Shen Qinghuan: "It's been quite a while, but I can't be out longer than the three kids. If little Sweet Potato gets hungry, Hai needs milk."
Li Meng: "That's right."
Shen Qinghuan: "Why don't you and Li Zixiao come to my house for dinner? I can ask Sister Li to cook whatever you want."
Li Meng: "Alright, see you later then."
Shen Qinghuan: "Well, see you later."
…
Li Meng and Li Zixiao arrived on time, carrying a lot of food in their hands.
Shen Qinghuan curled her lips and said helplessly, "Mengmeng, I've told you many times that when you and Officer Li come to my house for dinner, you don't need to bring anything except your mouth."
Li Meng pushed the man next to her and said coquettishly, "It's still him!"
Li Zixiao scratched the back of his head and said, "My wife is right. It's all my fault."
Li Meng: "Since you know it's not good, do you want to change it next time?"
Li Zixiao: "Change it! I'll change it!"
Li Meng raised her chin proudly, and when Shen Qinghuan wasn't paying attention, she secretly kissed Li Zixiao on the face. Then she leaned close to his ear and said in a deliberately low voice, "This is a reward for your obedience."
Li Zixiao raised his eyebrows, looking proud and satisfied.
After entering the living room, Li Meng immediately pulled Shen Qinghuan to the balcony to talk. Shen Qinghuan looked at her suspiciously, not understanding what was going on.
"Li Zixiao proposed to me." Li Meng said with a frown, not looking very happy.
Shen Qinghuan knew what she was worried about, but as an outsider, she couldn't say anything. After all, marriage is like a pair of shoes. Only you know whether it fits you or not.
"Mengmeng, if you really want my advice, all I can say is, follow your heart. If you want to marry him, then marry him. If not, then don't get married."
"As for the rest, it's not very important."
Li Meng hesitated.
She wanted to talk to Shen Qinghuan because she was confused, but she knew that Shen Qinghuan could not give her any advice.
"I like him, but I don't really want to get married."
As Li Meng spoke, she looked up at Li Zixiao who was playing with his mobile phone in the living room. Li Zixiao happened to be looking at her, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness.
She couldn't understand why a man like this, who was obviously such a good person, would fall in love with her!
“You’re afraid you’ll make the same mistake again.”
Shen Qinghuan hit the nail on the head and bluntly pointed out what she was thinking.
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyelids helplessly. That's right! She was afraid! Afraid of repeating the same mistake.
She didn't dare to gamble on human nature.
"Maybe! I don't want to go through the pain again. But most importantly, I can't understand why he fell in love with me. He comes from a well-off family and has a stable job, so why..."
Before Li Meng could finish her rant about her inferiority, Shen Qinghuan interrupted her angrily, "According to what you said, I really shouldn't have coveted Jiang Yu back then."
She knew clearly that she was just a guest in the Jiang family, and that she was an unwanted person, but she still couldn't help but be attracted to the noble and aloof young man, and it was out of control.
Li Meng was overwhelmed when she saw Shen Qinghuan revealing his wounds to comfort her. She quickly said, "Huanhuan, how can you say that? You know very well that my situation is different from yours."
"What's the difference! You have never been wrong, so how could you not be worthy of Li Zixiao! How much betrothal gift does his family plan to give? We will double our dowry, and if it's not enough, I will help you add to your dowry." Shen Qinghuan said proudly.
For her, the money she has now is more than she can spend in several lifetimes, let alone such a big thing as adding makeup to Li Meng.
After a pause, Shen Qinghuan added with a smile, "Of course! The final decision is still up to you."
Li Meng glared at her angrily, her face flushed. "What nonsense are you talking about! He just proposed marriage, and there was no other discussion."
Shen Qinghuan: "Then let me help you test it out later?"
Li Meng: "No! I don't want his family's betrothal gift."
Shen Qinghuan: "This is not a question of whether they want it or not. This is a thought, and how much their family values you as a person. Isn't there a saying that goes like this? If a man likes you, he will definitely take the initiative to discuss the betrothal gift with you, rather than waiting for you to ask for it."
Li Meng thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I don't really care whether we get married or not. As long as we are happy together, that's all that matters."
Shen Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, deliberately moved closer to her, and said jokingly: "Do you really think so?"
Li Meng: "What else can you think? To me, it doesn't matter whether I get married or not. I don't have any pressure from my parents to get married. But for him, in a few years, his parents will probably start to urge him."
Shen Qinghuan took a deep breath, looked at Li Meng seriously, and said, "No matter what, as long as it's your decision, I support you. Sister, we have plenty of money now, and we have many opportunities to make mistakes, so don't be afraid!"
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You really are..."
"Am I wrong?"
"That's right."
…
It was already late when Li Meng and Li Zixiao left.
However, just as they left, Jiang Yu, looking a little drunk, knocked on the door of Shen Qinghuan's house.
