Until Shao Lin forced the red envelope into her hand and said, "Take it. It's a little gift from me."

Huang Qinghe then shyly thanked him, "Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome."

Shao Lin subconsciously observed Huang Zhiqiu's expression and saw that he seemed to want to say something, so he immediately said, "There are too many people to fit in one car. How about this, let the children take Xiaoling's car, and Zhiqiu, you take mine."

Receiving the look from her father, Shao Mo replied knowingly, "Yes, Mom, you can take Dad's car. Dad's car is bigger and more comfortable to sit in."

Looking at the excited and curious faces of his two nieces, Huang Zhiqiu said nothing and followed Shao Lin towards the Bentley not far away.

Looking at the backs of the two, Huang Qingning couldn't help but whisper to Shao Mo, "Cousin, uncle looks so young, he doesn't look like he's forty at all."

Shao Mo patted the other person's head in amusement and said, "Get in the car."

"oh."

When they got in the car, Huang Qingning quietly asked Shao Mo if she could open the red envelope. After getting permission, she opened the red envelope with a happy look on her face.

"Huh? What is this? A deposit slip?"

Huang Qingning had never seen a cash check, so he took it to ask Shao Mo.

When Shao Mo took the check and looked at it, she couldn't help but sigh at her father's generosity.

"This is a cash check. You can go directly to the bank to withdraw the money."

"Check? How much money can I withdraw from this?"

"Look at the amount written on it. You can withdraw as much as it says."

Huang Qingning took the check back and began to count the zeros on it, "Tens, hundreds, thousands...ah! One thousand dollars?!"

"uh-huh."

Huang Qinghe quickly opened her red envelope, took out the check inside and saw that it was also for one thousand yuan!

"This is too much. We can't accept it. Let's find a chance to return it to my uncle later." Huang Qinghe made the decision immediately.

Huang Qingning did not refute. For them, one thousand yuan was the income from working for several years. It was really expensive.

Shao Mo smiled and comforted him, "Please accept it. My father has nothing but a lot of money. He usually gives this amount of money in red envelopes to his juniors. It's too little and doesn't suit his status."

After hearing what Shao Mo said, the two sisters carefully put away the check.

"Cousin, my uncle is so rich, so why hasn't he gotten married yet? Isn't he waiting for my aunt?"

After recovering from the shock of the sky-high red envelope, Huang Qingning couldn't help but gossip about Shao Lin's marriage.

"That's not the case. He's too busy with work and doesn't have time for a relationship. Plus, he hasn't met the right person yet, so he'd rather be alone than be with the wrong person, which is why he's been stuck with it until now."

"Cousin, since my aunt is not married yet, why not let my uncle marry her? That way you won't have to have an extra stepfather and stepmother."

"Well, I definitely have no problem with them getting back together."

Huang Qinghe smiled and joked: "I think my uncle cares about my aunt a lot. When he was talking to us just now, his eyes were always on my aunt."

Even outsiders can feel Shao Lin's feelings. Huang Zhiqiu is not stupid, so how could he not feel it?

But her lack of response was actually a silent rejection.

Although Shao Mo was happy to see Shao Lin and Huang Zhiqiu getting together, she could also see that it was impossible for Huang Zhiqiu to stay in the capital for Shao Lin.

On the other side, Shao Lin and Huang Zhiqiu sat side by side in the back seat of the Bentley.

Because there is a large armrest in the middle, it doesn't seem too intimate.

"I plan to stay a few more days this time. If it's convenient for you, can you arrange for me to meet your mother?"

"Okay, then I'll go back and ask my mom, do you think we should go to Shao's house or meet outside?"

"It will be all right."

"Okay then, I'll tell you when I've arranged it?"

"Um."

After a brief silence, Huang Zhiqiu suddenly turned to Shao Lin and said, "Your mother should be a very tolerant person, right?"

Shao Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "I guess so."

"You are so old now, but she has let you be and not pushed you to get married. Most mothers can't do that."

“…”

Shao Lin explained with some grievance and resentment: "I am only 43 years old."

Huang Zhiqiu couldn't help laughing, not knowing whether he was amused by him or was thinking of something.

"For you men, 43 is not old, but for us women, 40 is too old because there is almost no chance of having children."

"Zhiqiu, why are you saying this all of a sudden? Did someone say something that made you unhappy?"

"No, I just want to remind you of this fact. Mingzhi, there is no chance for us."

"Why? Just because you think you can't have children? Zhiqiu, what do you think of me? If I just want to find a woman who can have children, I can easily find ten or eight. It doesn't matter if others don't understand me, but how can you think of me like this?"

Huang Zhiqiu lowered his eyebrows slightly, "I don't know you either. The total time we have spent together is less than a year."

"You can ask me anything you want to know, and I will tell you everything I know."

"No need, it's fine like this now."

"But I don't think it's good! After decades of twists and turns, I finally found that the woman who can make my heart beat is always you, not only because you are Momo's mother, but also because you are the only woman I have ever loved."

Shao Lin's sudden confession would have made anyone else blush with embarrassment, but Huang Zhiqiu had a calm expression, as if she were an outsider. However, if you look closely, you can still see the pink color at the base of her ears.

The calmer and more controlled Huang Zhiqiu was, the more difficult it was for Shao Lin to control himself.

Because he had seen Huang Zhiqiu's gentle appearance, and knew that beneath her hard shell she had a soft heart.

"Zhiqiu, you were able to like me before, why can't you like me now?"

"Because I was naive before, I thought that two people could be together just because they liked each other."

"It's possible now. We have feelings for each other and a daughter. We have more foundation to live together than before."

"Live together? How do you mean live together? Like Yuan Jia, you buy me a big luxurious house in Beijing, give me some money, and support me like this every month?"

"Of course not. Why do you think so? Yuan Jia is different from you, and I don't like her. Giving her the house and money is just for compensation."

"You mean, you want to marry me?"

"If you like."

"I don't want to."

"Why?"

"Becoming the mistress of the Shao family may be the dream of every woman in Beijing, but that is not mine. I know myself well and I know I don't have the ability to do it. Even if I barely take that position, I won't be happy. Instead, I will only feel tired. I am fine the way I am now."
