CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 431: AT LEAST MY SON’S FAVORITE, YOU

At night, after Shen Cheng had dinner, Wen Wan arrived, bringing some nourishing supplements with her.

"This is top-quality bird’s nest. I specifically asked a friend to bring it from abroad. It’s very good for pregnant women."

"These are fresh dates without any additives. Eating two or three a day will replenish energy and blood."

"And these calcium tablets..."

"Mother-in-law."

Shen Cheng finally couldn’t resist interrupting Wen Wan.

She walked up to Wen Wan, holding her hand with a smile curling at her lips, carrying a rare gentleness, "Shall we go for a walk?"

"You," Wen Wan chuckled, gently patting her hand, "do you think I’m talking too much?"

"Absolutely not."

"I think so."

The always silent Shi Yu, suddenly closed his business magazine and looked up to say that.

"..."

Ignoring him, Shen Cheng took Wen Wan by the hand and walked outside.

Watching their figures from behind, Shi Yu’s lips slightly curled up, enchanting and devilishly handsome.

The nearby maid, seeing his smile, couldn’t help but want to stare at him longer, but didn’t dare to be too blatant, so she had to quietly lower her head...

Wen Wan took Shen Cheng to the seaside, where the air was fresh.

The two of them sat on the steps by the sea, watching couples passing by hand in hand, and remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Cheng was the first to speak and break the silence: "Did it hurt when you got divorced?"

Knowing that Wen Wan and Shi Yaoguang divorced because of another woman, Shen Cheng felt somewhat indignant on her behalf.

Yet, she also felt that there was nothing worth clinging to.

Such a man, one extra minute with him was torture.

Hearing her question, Wen Wan withdrew her gaze from the distance, turned her head with a smile, "At that time, it was like being anesthetized, no pain."

Shen Cheng nodded, perhaps feeling it was inappropriate to ask that, and fell silent.

Wen Wan spoke again: "No woman can have it all with both career and family. I’m the best example, I lost a family because of my career."

Shen Cheng looked at her with a tightened smile, "Which successful woman hasn’t had a failed marriage? Men, creatures driven by their lower half, when their heart isn’t in it, there’s no use forcing it. Withdraw early, that’s the wisest decision."

Wen Wan smiled again at her words, nodded in agreement: "So, there’s nothing that can’t be let go."

Pausing, she added: "At least I still have a son who will never hurt me again, and he loves you the most."

"Right, you still have us."

And they would always be there.

Shen Cheng gazed into the distance, remaining silent for a long while.

Wen Wan looked steadily at a certain spot, deep in thought.

The night deepened.

When Shen Cheng returned to the villa, it was just nine o’clock. Wen Wan dropped her off and then went back to her own home.

After going upstairs, the bedroom was empty.

Looking towards the study, the light was on.

Shen Cheng walked to the study door, gently pressed down on the doorknob and opened the door.

Inside, Shi Yu was sitting facing away from the door, on the office chair at the desk.

Shen Cheng tiptoed in, quietly closing the door.

She walked over, covered his eyes with her hands, and also covered his lips.

Shi Yu, calm and composed, gently bit her palm, grabbed her waist, and gently pulled her to sit on his lap.

His deep eyes filled with indulgent laughter, looked down at the little woman in his arms.
