After they left, the living room became much quieter.
Li Qingyi was making tea. She glanced at Shen Jingshao, thought for a moment, and then asked, "When do you and Yixing plan to get your marriage certificate?"
Shen Jingshao: "Let's wait a while."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Okay, have you set a date yet? Should I find someone to calculate the auspicious date for you?"
Shen Jingshao: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Mother."
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "It's alright, no trouble at all."
Shen Jingshao looked at Li Qingyi: "Actually, there's something else I want to tell you."
Li Qingyi: "Hmm? Go ahead."
Shen Jingshao slowly said, "Yixing suffered a lot when she gave birth to Yaoyao, so I had my tubal ligated. We don't plan to have any more children."
After a moment of silence, Shen Jingshao added, "It's not that she doesn't want children, it's that I don't. Mother, I dare not gamble, and I can't afford to gamble."
He went to see her at the hospital when she gave birth that year.
In the vast hospital, only Shengxia was with her.
That night, she had a difficult childbirth, and Shengxia stood at the door, shedding tears.
He clenched his fists silently; in that instant, he hated Fang Shiyan so much that he even wanted to kill him.
If something happens to her, he really doesn't know what he would do.
Fortunately, she gave birth to her baby safely.
But he always remembered this incident. Whenever he thought of the night she had a difficult childbirth, his blood seemed to flow backward and his whole body felt cold.
Li Qingyi had actually thought things through long ago regarding whether or not to have children.
At first, Shen Jingshao told her that they wouldn't get married, but now that they've decided to start a family, she's already very happy. People should learn to be content.
Li Qingyi calmly said, "If you don't want it, then don't. As long as you're happy."
After thinking for a moment, Li Qingyi said softly, "Actually, I've treated Yao Yao like my own grandson these past few years. I feel like there's a special connection between Yao Yao and me. I like him very much and feel very close to him as soon as I see him."
Shen Jingshao: "Yaoyao said the same thing about you."
Li Qingyi's eyes lit up: "Does he like me a lot?"
Shen Jingshao: "I like it very much."
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "That's good. I was worried that he would reject me as his new grandmother."
Shen Jingshao: "No, Yao Yao said you are very nice and he enjoys spending time with you."
Li Qingyi smiled: "That's good. By the way, I heard that Li Qingyun, her son, and her daughter have all returned to China recently. Have they come to see Yao Yao?"
Shen Jingshao: "No."
Li Qingyi sighed, "If you ask me, the Fang family just doesn't have the good fortune to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law and grandson. I heard that Yao Yao is doing quite well in school, and he even won an award in a math competition before?"
Thinking of this, Shen Jingshao's tone was somewhat proud. He said, "Yes, he won the first prize, and your gift was bought for you with his own prize money."
Li Qingyi was pleasantly surprised, "Really!"
The gift Wen Jingyao gave her was a handmade rabbit doll, which was fluffy and especially cute.
The key point is that he bought the materials himself and put his own effort into making it.
When Wen Jingyao gave it to Li Qingyi, he said that all the girls in his class liked rabbits, and since his grandmother was also a pretty girl, he thought she would like it too, so he made this in the hope that she would like it.
These few words made Li Qingyi extremely happy.
Even though you're no longer young, who wouldn't want to be praised for looking young and beautiful?
What's more, this gift was made by the child himself, who spent time and effort on it, making it even more precious to Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi thought for a moment, then took out her phone, took a picture of the little rabbit, and whispered, "I'm so happy today, I have to post it on my WeChat Moments for my daughter-in-law and grandson so that everyone will be envious!"

It was already dark when Wen Yixing and Shen Jingshao left. They had arrived in the morning, stayed there all afternoon, and had dinner.
While preparing dinner, Li Qingyi suddenly decided to cook for Wen Yixing herself, which almost caused the kitchen to blow up.
This startled Shen Qingshan.
Since there was a problem with the kitchen at home, and Shen Qingshan didn't want to eat at home, after a brief discussion, they decided to have a simple meal at a nearby Western restaurant.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Jingshao decided to take Wen Yixing back home. Li Qingyi was a little reluctant to part with her and held Wen Yixing's hand, saying, "Anyway, we're not far apart. Come and visit us when you have time."
Wen Yixing nodded: "Okay, Auntie. Thank you and Uncle for your help today."
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. Your uncle and I are overjoyed. From now on, we're family. If anyone dares to bully you again, just tell me, and your aunt will stand up for you!"
Shen Qingshan coughed lightly, glanced at Li Qingyi, and laughed, "Look, with our Ah Shao here, who would dare to bully Yixing?"
Li Qingyi: "That's right, Ah Shao, you must take good care of Yixing."
Under the streetlights, Shen Jingshao glanced down at Wen Yixing and replied with a smile, "Yes, Mother, don't worry."
After saying goodbye, Shen Jingshao asked the driver to take him home.
Perhaps he was too tired today, because Wen Jingyao closed his eyes and fell asleep shortly after getting on the bus.
Wen Yixing was also a little tired and was leaning against Shen Jingshao's chest, staring blankly out the car window.
Shen Jingshao gently squeezed Wen Yixing's fingertips and asked softly, "How do you feel?"
Wen Yixing looked up at him, smiled, then lowered her eyes and said, "They're fine. Your aunt and uncle are both doing well."
This morning on her way here, Wen Yixing recalled the first time she went to Fang Shiyan's house with him.
