Chapter 21: You Can’t Fall in Love with Your Brain [Edit]

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Qin Yunshuang walked forward quickly, along with Shen Zongguang, "I haven't seen the second brother for a long time. I wonder if he has lost weight during this period of time..."

"Yes, the second child was not at home when you gave birth to Tangtang. He has never seen what Tangtang looks like. It's time for him to meet this little sister."

The couple held Shen Tang and walked towards the hall.

At this time, the second son of the Shen family, Shen Sikai, was already standing at the door of the hall. He was wearing a brocade robe, and his black hair was tied up with a headband of the same color. He was dressed handsomely and elegantly.

But beside him was another woman who was dressed gently and quietly.

"Second son, you're back!" Shen Zongguang looked at Shen Sikai excitedly. He walked over and patted his second son's shoulder heavily, with a look of joy on his face. "Not bad, you've grown a lot stronger and taller recently. You're almost as tall as your father."

Qin Yunshuang also looked at Shen Sikai approvingly, "Is your business going well these days?"

"It went well!" Shen Sikai nodded. "I have opened several shipping canal routes, which has greatly expanded the Shen family's shipping business. I believe that in three years, we will be able to see the Shen family's shipping business in all the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of our Great Sheng Kingdom!"

Shen Zongguang looked at Shen Sikai with satisfaction, "Well done, second brother. Dad knew you could do it!"

Among his sons, the eldest, Feiyu, is a military commander who likes to wield swords and sticks, kill enemies on the battlefield, and is determined to protect the territory and become a great hero who can pacify the four directions. Unfortunately, he has now become...

When the third son was young, everyone praised him as a child prodigy, but now...

His only hope now lies on his second son. He is not interested in power or wealth. His favorite things to do since he was a child are to play with abacus beads, keep accounts, and make money.

The monthly allowance of the Marquis's Mansion was actually not much, but it was enough to support such a large family and allow the whole family to live a luxurious life, thanks in large part to the second son.

In the days to come, perhaps everyone in the Marquis's Mansion will have to rely on the second brother.

"Yeah, I can see that you've been running around lately. Your face is tanned." Qin Yunshuang looked at her second son with heartache.

"It's nothing to be a little tired. I like doing business. I believe that within three years, I will make our Shen family the richest family in the whole Dasheng country. Of course, my son's ambition is not limited to this. I also want to expand our Shen family's business overseas and become the richest in the four major countries in the east, west, south and north, and in the entire continent!" When Shen Sikai mentioned his dream, his eyes were shining with hope and he was in high spirits.

【Wow, my second brother has great ambitions! 】

What sound

Shen Sikai looked around in confusion, and his eyes fell on the little baby in Qin Yunshuang's arms.

The little guy was still wrapped in a pink swaddling cloth, his dark black hair tied into two small flower buds on his head, his little face was pink with a hint of white, and his big, round, dark eyes were like black grapes, staring at him intently without blinking.

Shen Sikai said, "This is the sister you mentioned in the letter!"

"Yes! During this time you were doing business outside, and your mother gave birth to a sister for you." Qin Yunshuang handed Xiao Shentang to her second child and smiled gently, "This is your first time meeting your sister, hug her."

Shen Sikai took the baby from Qin Yunshuang's arms. Looking at the sweet and juicy little dumpling, he was at a loss, fearing that he would hurt the little dumpling accidentally.

After all, the baby's skin is so delicate, and he, a grown man, has rough hands and feet...

"Tangbao, I am your second brother." Shen Sikai held the little girl in his arms, full of joy.

【Hello, second brother. 】

He heard the voice again.

Seeing the little guy in his arms staring at him without blinking, Shen Sikai suddenly realized that maybe he had heard the little guy's thoughts just now?

This is amazing!

When he was traveling around, he had read some mythological novels in picture books. Could it be that the things in those mythological novels could also happen in real life?

Qin Yunshuang and Shen Zongguang were smiling, and their eyes fell on the woman following behind Shen Sikai.

"Sikai, this is..."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce you." Shen Sikai came to the woman's side, "This is Miaomiao. She is my beloved."

"I brought her back today to show my parents so that they can bear witness to our story."

Speaking of Miaomiao, Shen Sikai's face was excited, and his earlobes were flushed. "I want my parents to allow me to marry Miaomiao."

Miaomiao bowed to Shen Zongguang and Qin Yunshuang, "Hello, uncle and aunt. Brother Kai and I fell in love at first sight, and fell in love again. We promised to be together for three lifetimes, and I will not marry anyone other than Brother Kai in this life."

Shen Zongguang and Qin Yunshuang and his wife looked at each other.

The second child has always been obsessed with making money and doing business. Over the past decade or so, he has been like an iron tree and has not blossomed at all.

Over the years, they have introduced countless women to the second brother, but he didn't like any of them.

How come he went out and brought back a woman, and insisted on getting married?

This is too fast! I am totally unprepared!

[Second brother, you can’t fall in love with your brain! ]

[You thought you met the love of your life, but in fact she just wants you to make money! ]

Hearing that inner voice, Shen Sikai was somewhat puzzled.

Why does my sister say that?

It seems that my sister is prejudiced against Miaomiao. Miaomiao is a particularly gentle and virtuous woman. She loves him very much. She is not a vulgar woman. She is different from those women out there.

"How did you two know each other?" Shen Zongguang suppressed his emotions and spoke.

"I was doing business outside when I encountered a group of bandits who robbed me," Shen Sikai said. "They committed murder, arson, gunfire, robbery and other evil deeds. I was targeted by the bandits, who took away all my money and wanted to kill me to silence me. But Miaomiao, a weak woman who passed by at the time, stepped forward and saved me."

[This is strange. She looks like she is less than 90 kilograms. Second brother, you, a big boss, can't beat those bandits. How can she beat them?]

[This is clearly a self-directed play by them, a drama of beauty saving the hero, so they can take the opportunity to get close to you, second brother! ]

[She has learned a lot of business skills from you during this period. She also knows all the shopkeepers and business dealings at your Caoyun Wharf. You thought she loved you, but she was actually using you!]

Shen Zongguang said in a deep voice, "How could she, a weak woman, save you?"

Shen Sikai smiled and took Miaomiao's hand. "Miaomiao brought a bag of flour and threw it at the bandits. Then she took me and hid. We went around the streets and alleys in the city and hid in the cellar of her house. When the bandits saw that they couldn't find anyone, they left."

[Silly second brother, isn't it strange that your Miaomiao, a weak woman, appeared in a place where there were bandits in broad daylight, holding a bag of flour? ]
