Chapter 93 First Mother
The woman's voice came through the square-shaped phone, sounding slightly distorted. She leaned against a beige soft pillow, her eyes glistening with tears; she was a gentle woman from Jiangnan.
"Is she alright? Was she injured outside?"
Shen Qi rolled up his sleeve and carefully wiped the screen of his phone, looking at the woman in the video holding a thick black book on her lap.
"You're alright, you're not injured. Ali, can I come see you tomorrow?"
Chu Li raised her amber eyes and gently closed the book.
"I want to stay here for a while. It's nice here, very quiet."
The warm light illuminated her, making Chu Li seem as if she were bathed in light. Her voice was as soft as a feather.
"I won't be going to the banquet tomorrow. I'm too tired, and there's no point in standing there. I'll leave those things to you."
Shen Qi rested his hands on his knees, his dark eyes fixed on her. "It's alright. This banquet wasn't very interesting anyway. Did you feel any better there?"
"I'm much better now."
The couple talked for a long time, and in the end, Shen Qi looked at her with lingering affection, but he was also worried about her health and repeatedly told her that she should rest.
……
Time flies, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Shen Xi finally got to see Su Su.
When Su Su arrived, she was wearing a khaki-gray shawl over her shoulders, with a black knit sweater underneath. With her pure and alluring face, she looked like a powerful and mature woman with an aura that seemed to stand 1.8 meters tall as she walked over.
"Xixi, here's a rose for you?"
Su Su slowly pulled out her hand from behind her back, and held a bright and beautiful rose in her hand.
Shen Xi smiled radiantly, her eyes sparkling. She picked up a flower stem and casually tucked it into her hair. She lifted her skirt and twirled around, her voice clear, melodious, and pleasant to the ear.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
Su Su clapped her hands and praised,
"Flowers and a beautiful woman, so lovely!!"
Shen Xi wore a simple dress in the morning, thinking that she was going to a banquet in the evening and didn't want to waste energy dressing up in the morning.
Last night I chatted with Su Su. Su Su used her savings to rent a very large house. She wanted to throw a housewarming party, but only invited Shen Xi and Hua Lan.
Shen Xi inevitably asked about her relationship with Sheng Shen. During this time, Su Su's personality had become more cheerful. She winked and playfully asked Shen Xi to guess.
When it comes to gossip about friends...
Shen Xi wished she could climb into the phone and shake Su Su out.
But no need, because Su Su is here.
Little Jiangdu was rubbing his sleepy eyes, wearing SpongeBob slippers and elephant pajamas, with two cute little blue elephant ears on the front of his clothes.
"Xiaoman, this is Mommy's good friend Susu."
Shen Xi looked at the child, who was still unconsciously tugging at the little ears on his pajamas, and laughed out loud.
He walks very fast and is very polite.
"Hello Aunt Su, good morning Mom."
Good morning, little one.
Su Su bent down and, as if by magic, produced a small, exquisitely hand-knitted purse, which she held up to show the little one.
"I heard that Xiaoman has a lot of cards. When we met today, I didn't know what to give you, so I sewed a small wallet for you."
Xiao Jiangdu also reached out and took the wallet, his big, dark eyes looking sincerely at Su Su.
"Thank you, Aunt Su, I like it very much."
Except in front of his parents, Jiang Du has always been a proud and aloof little prince.
Xiaoman is very aloof.
Shen Xi then noticed that Su Su hadn't brought the child, and she asked curiously,
Didn't you bring Xiao Qi'an with you?
"No……"
At the opportune moment, Butler Li, accompanied by two maids, brought out freshly brewed tea and some exquisitely presented pastries.
"Thank you," Su Su said politely.
Butler Li quickly waved his hand.
"Ms. Su, you're too kind. This is just our job."
Xiao Jiangdu sat beside his mother, leaning against her with his head down. He covered his mouth with his hands and yawned delicately.
Dad stayed in his room for a long time last night.
Very sleepy.
Shen Xi draped a small blanket over the child and gently patted his back. The child slowly closed his eyes.
Su Su then answered Shen Xi's question in a low voice.
"Qi An is with his father; he wasn't brought over today."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi's eyes lit up. There's something fishy about this!
She asked mysteriously,
How are things going between you and him lately?
Su Su bit her lip, unsure how to describe her current relationship with Sheng Shen; she couldn't find the right words.
"About...about a relationship where we take care of the children together?"
Shen Xi was dumbfounded. "What kind of relationship is this?"
Shen Xi changed her position, crossing her legs casually. The child obediently cooperated with Shen Xi's change of position, clinging to his mother and continuing to sleep soundly.
Su Su simply couldn't bear to look. Her friend had a cold and arrogant face, as if no one would expect her to be like this inside.
………cute?
Probably.
"Yes, that's the kind of relationship we have. He often comes to see the kids and...me. But maybe it's because we're getting older, I feel like we can't go back to the way we were when we were in love. It feels a bit strange when we're together."
Shen Xi remained silent, for it was because they had truly loved each other that a rift had formed between them despite all the things that had happened in between.
If neither of them cared, this problem wouldn't exist.
Shen Xi wouldn't interfere too much with her friend's decision. Relationships should develop naturally, and besides... Su Su is her friend. As long as her friend doesn't suffer any losses, she will unconditionally support any choice her friend makes.
Shen Xi shifted her position, remaining still, then suddenly remembered something and asked excitedly,
"What was Sheng Shen's expression when he found out he had a child? Was it a beautiful tearful reaction, a violent dinosaur-like reaction, or an angry domineering CEO reaction?"
Shen Xi was really curious about the kind of plot that only appeared in novels.
Su Su was surprised by Shen Xi's excitement, as if she thought it was a wonder of the world. She thought for a moment, then seriously opened her mask.
"He was a little excited, Xixi. You probably can't imagine what it was like when he met Qi'an."
Shen Xi's appetite was whetted, and she stared intently at Su Su with her captivating peach blossom eyes, her expression demanding, "Tell me already!"
Before Su Su could speak, recalling the scene from that day, she covered her mouth and burst out laughing.
"It's kind of funny, actually, because I've never seen him that way."
“In my memory, he has always been a very proper and respectable person. Before, I stayed at the Shen family’s house for two days, and after thinking it through, I moved out and rented the house with the small garden that I told you about. That afternoon, Sheng Shen asked me to go out and talk to me, and I happened to have the same idea, so I agreed to go out.”
Until that day...
Sheng Shen apparently learned about her having a child from the live stream.
Su Su never imagined that a pampered young master who had been spoiled since childhood could do such a thing...
