Chapter 53 Warmth
Ji Man sent a message to Shen Chutang the next morning, saying that she had arrived at the gate of the community but could not get in. Chen Musheng pushed Shen Sujing to go and pick him up.
Originally, Shen Sujing was the only one who was worried. Now that he knew that he hadn't gotten the girl yet, Chen Musheng's heart also began to beat fast. He pinched Shen Gengli's arm and complained, "You gave birth to a good son, but he can't even get a girlfriend."
Shen Gengli smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. Let's talk about it tonight. It would be embarrassing if someone saw us when they come."
Shen Chutang held back her laughter and put the chamomiles on the table in order. For today, she had spent a lot of money to ask Xie Tong about Ji Man's preferences.
"I'll deal with you tonight." Chen Musheng shook off his hand, snorted, walked to the door and looked outside.
Seeing two figures approaching from a distance, one of them was limping, Chen Musheng immediately trotted back to the house, "Here they come."
"Geng Li, am I supposed to walk like this? Is there anything inappropriate about it?"
"Okay, it looks really good and is really suitable."
Shen Chutang's hand was still caressing Zhao Wenxian's belly. The due date was more than a month away, and her belly was already round like a watermelon, but soft, and he could still feel the fetal movement when he put his hand on it.
"Mom, you're so nervous, don't scare people away later."
"Hey." Chen Musheng walked over here and sat down, trying to calm himself down. "I just can't relax. You don't know that when your eldest brother brought Xianxian back, I didn't sleep all night."
Zhao Wenxian smiled shyly, "Mom, it's okay, don't worry, Xiaojing is not a bad person, just let it go."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Sujing came in with his people, took the gift from Ji Man and handed it to Uncle Wen, and the maid came over and handed her new slippers.
Ji Man didn't expect there to be so many people at home, and she almost dropped her jaw when she looked at them one by one.
She knew that Shen Sujing had a good family background, but she didn't expect it to be so good. If she had known this, she would never have come.
"Sister Jiman! Come here quickly."
Shen Chutang walked over and took her arm, leading her over here, "Sister Ji Man, this is my parents, this is my eldest brother and his wife, my second brother is still upstairs."
"Hello, uncle and aunt, hello, brother and sister-in-law." Ji Man was still in shock and hadn't come to her senses yet, so she followed Shen Chutang and called them brother and sister-in-law.
She tried to change her words quickly, but Zhao Wenxian had already replied with a smile.
Chen Musheng was no longer his usual eloquent self. He was so nervous that he stuttered when he spoke. "Your name is Ji Man, right? You are such a pretty girl. Come and sit over here."
Ji Man hadn't heard such a title for a long time. She was immediately touched and relaxed. She sat next to Chen Musheng, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome, thank you. I also want to thank you for taking care of Xiao Jing. I heard that you are his senior, and you took care of him when his leg was injured before."
Shen Sujing was remembered only then. He was still standing at the door, smiling helplessly. He limped over and sat on the sofa opposite.
"Those are nothing." After all, Shen Sujing was injured because of her.
Ji Man smiled shyly and secretly glared at Shen Sujing when no one was paying attention. He didn't tell her that this was the situation in his family.
The second elder brother is the president of Shen Corporation, the eldest elder brother works in the city hall, and I heard that my father is also a political figure in Suzhou. Shen Chutang also has a Shi Corporation after him.
She came here like a fool, carrying all her things without any preparation.
Fortunately, the atmosphere was good. Shen Yanheng's attention was all on Zhao Wenxian. He served her tea and covered her with a blanket.
Chen Musheng kept her company in a chat, talking about common topics so as to avoid a dull silence. It was almost lunchtime and the men went out to cook, leaving only the few of them in the living room.
The topic became more lively and harmonious.
During the meal, Shen Chutang sat next to Ji Man and served her food. Ji Man usually eats very little to keep in shape, but she is actually a real foodie. Moreover, this meal was prepared by Shen Sujing and the others, and this might be the only time she can eat it in her life.
After the meal, I felt very full and warm both physically and mentally.
The living room was covered with thick carpet. Shen Chutang sat on it, leaning against the sofa, telling fairy tales and saying that he wanted to do prenatal education for the baby in Zhao Wenxian's belly.
Chen Musheng was chatting with Ji Man, the two of them leaning against each other, their voices were very gentle, and the warm atmosphere made people feel a little drowsy.
Shi Chengyu came in at this time, with some snow still on his shoulders. He held his scarf lovingly in his arms, looking a little silly.
He walked straight to Shen Chutang and patted her shoulder gently. Shen Yanheng also came over. It turned out that Zhao Wenxian had fallen asleep.
Shen Chutang stood up. There were too many people on the sofa today, so she pulled Shi Chengyu upstairs.
"Brother Chengyu, why are you here?" Shen Chutang asked him, holding his somewhat cold hand.
Shi Chengyu said, "It's snowing outside."
I miss you a little.
Shen Chutang was wearing a beige sweater today, with her hair tied back, and she looked well-behaved, soft and warm.
Shi Chengyu looked at her with some resentment, "Tangtang is very busy today." He didn't even reply to the message.
Shen Chutang smiled, took two steps forward and hugged him, "There is a guest at home today, it is the sister Ji Man who was at the third brother's birthday party last time."
Shi Chengyu's eyes darkened and his hands stiffened for a moment. Seeing that she didn't think of anything else, he felt relieved and buried his head in her neck. The person in his arms was sweet and soft, which gradually dispelled the coldness from his body.
"Well, that's why I came to see you."
Shen Chutang felt a little itchy because of him, and tried to push him away with a smile, but Shi Chengyu held her hand and pulled her into his arms, "Tangtang has to compensate me."
"Okay, okay, then don't talk. It's too itchy."
The person in his arms smiled coquettishly, and Shi Chengyu felt sweetness in his heart when he heard it. He obediently calmed down and just hugged the person tightly.
The snow outside the window fell softly, and the ground soon turned white, covering all the colors.
"Brother Chengyu, you look so good."
"Yeah, Tangtang is pretty too."
Shen Chutang burst out laughing, "Brother Chengyu, I said the snow scene outside is beautiful."
"But Brother Chengyu is also good-looking."
Shi Chengyu lay in the crook of her neck and refused to raise his head, as if he was shy. He rubbed his head twice, which made Shen Chutang laugh again. Finally, she struggled hard to get out of his arms. She was so tired that she had no strength left, and was caught in Shi Chengyu's arms again.
"Okay, stop making trouble."
Shen Chutang panted heavily, "No way, it's you who's causing the trouble."
Shi Chengyu patted her back to comfort her, "Okay, my fault, didn't Tangtang eat much at noon?"
Shen Chutang leaned in his arms and looked up at him, "Brother Chengyu, I just realized today that serving food to others is so tiring. Was it very hard for you to serve food to me every time before?"
"No feeling." Shi Chengyu replied.
I just know that every time I see her finish her meal obediently, I feel very happy and satisfied.
