Tang Li dismissed it as childish ramblings and didn't take it to heart.
She rolled her eyes at A-Lu, her gaze full of gentle anger, "You brat, what do you know at your age?"
"All I know is that you and Dad love each other, so you should be together. You two just have to cause a lot of trouble. Even I, a child, understand this, so why can't you adults understand it?"
Tang Li pursed her lips. The little guy is precocious and doesn't know that there are many things in the world that are beyond our control, and that people who love each other don't necessarily have to be together.
"Alright, I'll take you to your uncle's first. He'll take care of you."
The little guy held his water cup, took a sip, and then asked, "Mommy, you took care of me for a while, Uncle took care of me for a while, so shouldn't Daddy take care of me for a while next?"
Tang Li squinted and deliberately asked A-Lu, "What, you brat, are you planning to betray your mother and uncle? Go find your father?"
A-Lu shook his head, saying it wasn't quite like that.
He was getting a little bored after spending so much time with his mother and uncle, so he wanted to go see his father and see if his father was with any of the other aunties.
"Mom, if you send me to Dad's side, wouldn't I be able to help you drive away your love rival?"
Tang Li pouted, "You brat, don't even think about it. You'd better stay by my side and behave yourself!"
On the other side, after Lu Jianshen got into the car, he called Chen Lei and arranged some work-related matters, which Jiang Xu couldn't understand.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Lu Jianshen stepped on the brakes and let Jiang Xu get out of the car.
Jiang Xu, however, remained seated, motionless.
"I'm off work today, I took the day off. I want to visit your company, Brother Shen. You're my main patient right now, so I need to take good care of you!"
Lu Jianshen sighed and frowned.
"Jiang Xu, let's be frank. There's no future for us. Don't waste your time on me!"
Jiang Xu's heart sank, but she pretended not to understand.
"What do you mean by that? Grandpa asked me to take care of you, and this is my job now."
She nervously picked at her fingers.
“If you’re just here to take care of me, you don’t need to put too much effort into me. To put it more clearly, like you said last time, it’s not over between Tang Li and me.”
Lu Jianshen believed he had made himself clear enough.
Jiang Xu didn't say anything and silently got out of the car.
Happiness is something you have to fight for, so what's a little setback?
She won't give up easily.
"Brother Jian Shen, then remember to come to the hospital for your physical examination on time."
Lu Jianshen didn't say anything, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
Jiang Xu watched his departing figure, standing there for a long time.
In the evening, Tang Li went home for dinner, and Shen Qingxu had already prepared dinner early in the morning.
"I'm only now realizing that you have the makings of a perfect stay-at-home husband!"
As Tang Li spoke, she walked over with a smile, picked up some food with her chopsticks, and took a couple of bites.
Shen Qingxu truly lives up to his reputation as a master chef; the food is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
"I give these cola chicken wings a 9.9 out of 10! Did Ah Lu and I ruin your chances of finding a good match? Why don't you find a suitable girl to date? Brother, you can't let me ruin your life!"
Shen Qingxu brought over the last plate of Mapo Tofu and rolled her eyes at Tang Li.
"You're such a chatterbox!"
Tang Li smiled and said, "I'm doing this for your lifelong happiness!"
Shen Qingxu set out the bowls and chopsticks one by one. "Have you thought about your lifelong happiness? I heard from Alu that you had lunch with a strange uncle today... was it Gu Mingcheng??"
Tang Li nodded and sat down to prepare for dinner.
She said, "It was just a chance encounter. Don't misunderstand, there's nothing between him and me."
Shen Qingxu nodded and teasingly asked her, "Why don't you consider finding another father for A-Lu?"
Tang Li shook her head, saying she had no plans to do so for the time being.
“Every time Gu Mingcheng appears, it's too deliberate. I'm not stupid; I have a feeling that he's up to no good!”
Tang Li shook her head, then thought she might be overthinking things.
Shen Qingxu pursed her lips. "You have to trust your intuition. Sometimes, intuition is very accurate!"
He also felt that Gu Jia's approach was too deliberate, and that she had ulterior motives.
My phone, which was lying next to me, suddenly vibrated.
Shen Qingxu peeked out and saw that it was a message from an unmarked number.
He glanced at it casually, frowned, and flipped the phone over to close it.
"Whose message is this?" Tang Li asked casually.
Shen Qingxu shook her head. "There's nothing important. Just eat your meal."
After dinner, Tang Li was drawing in the living room, very focused.
Shen Qingxu said she had another appointment and then went out.
"Come home early tonight, and don't drink too much."
Tang Li didn't know where he went either, assuming that Shen Qing was just having drinks with friends.
She didn't know that Shen Qingxu had gone to see her ex-husband, Lu Jianshen.
bar.
When Shen Qingxu arrived, Lu Jianshen was sitting at the bar, and the bottle in front of him was already half empty.
"What do you want with me?"
Shen Qingxu didn't give Lu Jianshen a friendly look either, but he knew that Lu Jianshen must have something to say to him.
What are your and Tang Li's plans for the future?
Shen Qingxu was momentarily stunned and stared at him blankly.
He didn't quite understand what Lu Jianshen meant by those words, or what his plans were.
