Everything was so familiar.
"Mr. Gao." Shen Wangshu finished peeling the apple and watched the little one crunching away at it, speaking in a cold voice.
“Jia… Yao Yao, why don’t you call me brother-in-law anymore?” Gao Sen’s heart trembled when he heard this unfamiliar address. He was overwhelmed with disappointment.
But even if he suffocated right in front of Shen Wangshu, let alone be unable to breathe, Shen Wangshu wouldn't care. She stroked Gao Xi's head, watching the child obediently rub against her hand, and slowly said, "I'm not familiar with Mr. Gao, and my sister is no longer here, so let's not call him so affectionately, otherwise Mr. Gao's current girlfriend might flood the villa area."
She smiled sarcastically, and seeing Gao Sen look at Chu Xiangyun with displeasure, she said with a somewhat cold expression, "Mr. Gao, there's no need to be nervous. My sister has already passed away. The Sheng family has no intention of telling you to never remarry. That would be too inhumane."
"Yaoyao, I..." Such understanding words made Gao Sen feel somewhat ashamed.
His wife had only been gone for six months, yet he had fallen for another woman, as if he were insulting his love for his former wife.
Moreover, with Sheng Yao, who looked so much like his wife, right in front of him, he simply couldn't bring himself to say that Chu Xiangyun was his girlfriend.
He looked at Sheng Yao with some tension, worried that she would show an angry expression.
Shen Wangshu's face remained expressionless.
Sheng Yao is a very gentle and soft-hearted girl by nature; otherwise, she wouldn't have sympathized with Gao Sen after his tearful complaints and thought of helping him take care of his nephew.
Shen Wangshu should have been more gentle, but given that she had just discovered Gao Xi was starving, even the gentlest rabbit would bite.
“Mr. Gao, there’s no need for you to explain to me, after all, I’m not qualified. However…” Shen Wangshu smiled coldly and said softly, “I’m not qualified to explain to Mr. Gao, but I am qualified to explain to Xiao Xi.”
"Xiao Xi?"
"He is the grandson of the Sheng family, their precious treasure. He is not someone anyone can treat lightly." Shen Wangshu patted Gao Xi's fluffy little head, watching him pat his bulging little belly as if presenting a treasure to her, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said casually, "Mr. Gao's recent actions have caused serious harm to Xiao Xi's mind and body. When you were drinking, acting violently, or enraged, Xiao Xi was always by your side, witnessing everything you did. Do you think he wasn't afraid? He's still a child. As a father, don't you understand how to protect your child's feelings?"
The cold, calm questions made Gao Sen break out in a cold sweat.
Looking at his son, who was timidly hiding in Shen Wangshu's arms, he suddenly became more clear-headed.
He did indeed neglect his son.
"I don't know how Mr. Gao and your girlfriend usually get along. Is it always this noisy and tearful, never peaceful?" Shen Wangshu glanced disdainfully at Chu Xiangyun, whose face was pale, and smiled faintly. She walked up to Gao Sen, bent down to look at him, and suddenly slapped him across the face under his agitated gaze!
The slap landed heavily on the man's handsome face, making a crisp sound. The man's face turned to the side as he covered his face and looked at the gentle-looking Shen Wangshu in disbelief.
"Xiao Xi almost starved to death. I'm too lazy to question the nanny, so I can only beat you, this unfit father," Shen Wangshu said leisurely.
Gao Sen covered his aching face and stared blankly at Shen Wangshu.
She had a similar appearance to his wife, but their personalities were completely different.
In his memory, his wife was a gentle and generous rich lady who was always polite and had the demeanor of a socialite better than anyone else. When Gao Sen walked with her, people would always look at him with envy, saying that he was lucky to have a virtuous wife who could support him with dignity.
He always believed he truly loved his wife, Sheng Jia, who was flawless in every way. She was so perfect, fulfilling all a man's desires for a wife; how could he not love her? He deeply loved this perfect, flawless wife, and even after her death, he couldn't forget her. Her radiance overshadowed all other women, including his own sister, Sheng Yao.
Gao Sen couldn't even remember what kind of personality the girl who used to hide behind his wife had.
But when she slapped him so casually, her eyes full of indifference, Gao Sen didn't know why, but what welled up in his heart was not the anger of being insulted, but a feeling that was different from others.
Sheng Yao is... different from others.
That nonchalant, arrogant disregard for others, that showed no regard for anyone else, bloomed on her beautiful face, making it impossible to look away.
She was also very fierce; in a short time, she kicked him and slapped him.
But at the same time, she was also very gentle. When she smiled and fed little Gao Xi, the love and tenderness she showed, the affection that came from the bottom of her heart, illuminated Gao Sen's eyes.
How can a girl have so many different appearances?
"Yao Yao." Gao Sen wiped his face, stood up with a somewhat unfocused gaze, and looked down at Shen Wangshu.
He was a handsome and tall man. When his dark eyes looked at Shen Wangshu with such emotion, it seemed to make Shen Wangshu's face burn. He looked at Shen Wangshu with such affection, but perhaps because Shen Wangshu was twirling the knife in her hand, as if she might stab him at any moment, Gao Sen's eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it's, it's my fault." He wanted to bend down and touch Gao Xi's face, but saw the boy hiding behind Shen Wangshu in fear.
Shen Wangshu lowered his head and touched the little thing's face, watching him look up at him with a timid smile.
