Chapter 148 Shen Qingbei's Relief
But such concern was rare in his life, leaving him unsure how to react.
He pretended to be very busy, constantly fiddling with the food in the bowl.
"Young Madam, I'm fine. I can eat later."
Jian Ran drifted over like a ghost.
Su Niannian quickly noticed her: "Jian Ran, come over and help this guy feed the pudding."
"Alright, young mistress." Jian Ran glanced coldly at the zookeeper's back and walked over: "Give it to me."
As she spoke, she took the basin from his hand.
Shen Qingbei had no choice but to look up at Su Niannian.
Then I saw the other person smile and say, "Brother, there's still lunch in the kitchen. Come with me to the villa to eat."
Shen Qingbei's heart skipped a beat.
An indescribable emotion pounded wildly in his heart.
He quickly lowered his eyes, concealing the complex expression in them.
"No need, young mistress."
Su Niannian: "I ate one of your apples, so this meal is on my behalf. Big brother, please don't be shy."
Shen Qingbei remained squatting on the ground, his legs gradually going numb, but the blood in his heart was gradually getting warmer.
Just when Su Niannian thought he was going to refuse.
Shen Qingbei nodded almost imperceptibly.
He followed Su Niannian to the villa.
Aunt Chen was taken aback when she saw Shen Qingbei, but knowing her mistress's temperament, she knew he must have invited her to lunch since he hadn't eaten yet, so she immediately went to heat up the lunch.
Aunt Chen worked quickly, and soon brought out the hot dishes and hot rice.
"Don't be shy, try my cooking. The young mistress loves to invite everyone over for meals; you're not the first, so don't be shy."
This was the first time Shen Qingbei had ever sat at a dining table and been treated so formally.
Xie Shen only treated him as a tool, and always spoke to him in a commanding tone.
He sat there stiffly, listening to Su Niannian say, "Big brother, this shrimp and vermicelli soup is Aunt Chen's specialty. Please eat more, don't be shy, and make yourself at home."
Shen Qingbei's hand holding the chopsticks trembled almost imperceptibly.
He kept his head down, not daring to look at Su Niannian, and put a mouthful of vermicelli into his mouth.
"It really is delicious."
"If it's delicious, eat more. You can come over for meals anytime in the future."
He listened to Su Niannian's words and wolfed down his food like someone who had been starving for a long time, but no matter what, he didn't dare to look up at Su Niannian.
Until after a meal.
He fled in panic.
Sixteen years later, Su Niannian planted a warm seed in his barren heart once again.

night.
Under the cover of moonlight, Shen Qingbei arrived downstairs at Su Niannian's bedroom.
He stood in the shadows, quietly gazing at the room that exuded warmth.
His eyes held a complex mix of emotions: choice, contradiction, relief, and reluctance.
Finally, he abruptly ripped off the human skin mask, revealing his battered and mangled face.
In the dim moonlight, the scar on his left cheek looked terrifying, but he seemed oblivious to it.
Shen Qingbei took a deep breath, turned around abruptly, and left without hesitation.
Su Niannian came out of the bathroom when a slight noise suddenly came from under the small balcony, startling her.
Just then, Gu Yuheng pushed the door open and came in.
Without thinking, Su Niannian threw herself into his arms.
"Niannian, what's wrong?"
Su Niannian grabbed his shirt and frowned, saying, "Aheng, there seems to be someone under the balcony."
The words were spoken.
A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuheng's eyes as he shielded Su Niannian behind him.
Then his slender hand reached towards his waist.
He slowed his pace and walked to the balcony, his sharp gaze watching Shen Qingbei climb over the wall before his figure disappeared into the night.
"Ali, proceed according to the original plan, follow Shen Qingbei, and don't alert him," Gu Yuheng commanded Ali through a Bluetooth earpiece.
