“Say goodbye to all the troubles, and say hi to all the happiness…”
The birthday song echoed in the villa of Sunny Villa.
Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou smiled at each other and their eyes fell on the two children.
Today is the eighteenth birthday of their two children, Pei Xingye and Shen Xingwan, and it is also the coming-of-age ceremony for the two children.
Although Shen Ruoxi knew that she had changed history, she prevented Awan from using her life to seal Chaos and resolved the entanglement between them.
But as long as Shen Xingwan did not live past the age of eighteen, her heart was always in her throat. Until today, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, these two children have been gifted since childhood. Whether it is a Rubik's Cube competition or Go, calligraphy, piano and other large and small competitions, the gold and silver trophies they won directly filled up the small warehouse.
They never had to worry about his studies. He skipped several grades and graduated early.
Today, Pei Xingye has obtained a double master's degree in law and finance, and Shen Xingwan graduated from the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, becoming a hot commodity that many Chinese hospitals are competing for.
"They are indeed our children. They are worry-free. When they both get jobs, we can go out and travel for a while!" Shen Ruoxi's face was filled with a happy smile.
Pei Yaozhou reached out and held Shen Ruoxi to his side, his chin gently stroking the top of Shen Ruoxi's head: "When they grow up a little bit and take over the Pei and Shen companies, we will find a paradise to live in for the two of us."
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi’s eyes flickered.
She had already made up her mind to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and build a small two-story house with a garden and plant flowers, plants and vines.
She would put a bamboo and rattan lounge chair, raise a dog and two cats, make a pot of tea, watch the sunrise and sunset and the clouds roll by, and she would never get tired of this kind of life.
Today, not only they, but also Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Shen, and the Luo family were celebrating the two children’s birthdays.
Old Mrs. Pei and Old Mrs. Shen gave shares to their two children respectively, obviously pinning the future of the Pei and Shen families on them.
Mr. Luo was just one step late and lost the initiative.
He was willing to give away the Luo family's shares, but he wanted his two children to come to the Luo family. He was afraid that he would be unable to do so because he was too busy.
Old Master Luo was obviously a little disappointed. He glared at his son Luo Xuanshen, not knowing how to seize the advantageous position.
Luo Xuanshen shrugged, indicating that he was unable to help.
In order to attend his two children's coming-of-age ceremony, Luo Xuanshen arranged everything in the guild a month in advance and rushed back just in time.
"Didn't Xiaoqin come back with you?" Old Mrs. Shen's voice sounded in Luo Xuanshen's ears.
Luo Xuanshen finally came back to his senses.
He took out two exquisite wooden boxes from his pocket: "This is the gift that Xiaoqin asked me to bring back for Xiaoye and Wanwan. She..."
"She feels ashamed to see Ruoxi, right?"
Luo Xuanshen glanced at Old Lady Shen, avoided her gaze, and said nothing.
"When did Xiaoqin tell you about Ruoxi's matter?" Old Mrs. Shen asked again.
After another long silence, Luo Xuanshen spoke again: "After arriving in northern Myanmar, she confessed everything to me. It turns out that Ruoxi had already died once."
Old Lady Shen sighed: "Xiaoqin was really confused back then, which is why I agreed to let her leave China. She must face her mistakes and atone for the wrong things she has done."
"Xiaoqin likes you, but she is not worthy of being with you. But she is my daughter, and I just want to know what your plans are?" A layer of mist appeared in Mrs. Shen's turbid eyes.
Luo Xuanshen helped Old Lady Shen to sit down. After all, she was old and her health was not as good as before.
"Mrs. Shen, I understand your concerns. As a father, I failed to protect them, and I am also responsible. However, since some things have already happened, I can't just let it go."
Hearing these words, Mrs. Shen burst into tears.
She nodded: "I understand. Even though she is my biological daughter, I cannot forgive her for the many wrong things she did to Ruoxi."
Luo Xuanshen handed the old lady a tissue: "But there is one thing I can promise you, I will do my best to protect her."
Hearing this, Old Lady Shen nodded repeatedly: "In this case, I feel relieved."
As the two were talking, Luo Xuanshen was suddenly slapped on the head. He turned around and saw his father, Old Man Luo, looking at him angrily.
"You kid, you're not doing anything good even after coming back!"
Luo Xuanshen touched his head, looking innocent: "Dad, please talk to me nicely. What have I done that is against the law?"
Mr. Luo pointed to the center of the crowd.
Shen Xingwan was standing alone in the middle, with Pei Yaozhou and Shen Ruoxi opposite him frowning, and the atmosphere was deadlocked.
"What's wrong? Who made our little baby Wanwan unhappy?" Old Mrs. Shen walked towards Shen Xingwan with a cane, holding her precious great-granddaughter in her arms.
"Ruoxi, Third Brother, today is Wanwan's birthday. Why make the atmosphere so awkward? Besides, our Wanwan has been sensible and obedient since she was young. She's the most caring little girl in the world, the apple of Grandma's eye..."
Shen Xingwan felt a little embarrassed by Old Lady Shen's mindless praise, and murmured softly: "Grandma, it seems that Wanwan is not as good as you say..."
"You're quite self-aware!" Shen Ruoxi curled her lips.
On one side is her precious granddaughter, and on the other side is her precious great-granddaughter. Old Mrs. Shen said that it is difficult for her to take sides!
"Wanwan, tell grandma what's going on. Why did you make your mommy unhappy?"
Shen Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, tell your great-grandmother about it and see if she agrees."
Shen Xingwan's throat churned: "Grandma, Wanwan just has a birthday wish that she wants to fulfill."
Old Madam Shen winked at Shen Ruoxi: “It’s just a birthday wish, tell me and Grandma will make it happen for you.”
Shen Ruoxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Old Madam Shen was winking at her, asking her to give in.
"Say it out loud. You just said you were determined, but you don't even have the courage to say it now, right?" Shen Ruoxi spoke again.
Facing Old Lady Shen's doting gaze, Shen Xingwan finally spoke: "Grandma, Wanwan's birthday wish is to go out and explore the world with Grandpa."
Old Mrs. Shen's smile froze on her face little by little, and finally her eyes widened.
"Ever since I was little, every time my grandpa came home, he would tell Wanwan many interesting stories about the outside world. At that time, Wanwan always thought that she must go to those places to see them with her own eyes."
When saying this, Shen Xingwan's eyes were bright and determined.
Seeing this, Shen Ruoxi on the side raised her eyebrows in surprise.
