‘He was too handsome… How could he be so handsome!’

The chauffeur got out of the car and opened the other door. Mu Qingyu nodded at him and got in.

What a gentlemanly head guard…

They moved so quickly that Shen Jingmo didn’t react. The car started and slowly drove out of Luming Jiaan.

None of them spoke on the way. Shen Jingmo kept his eyes closed as if he was resting, and Mu Qingyu didn’t want to disturb him, so she stayed silent.

The temperature in the car was just right. Coupled with the faint fragrance of the person beside her, Mu Qingyu gradually felt sleepy.

After some time, she said, “Young Master, Madam, we’re here.” The chauffeur stopped the car steadily and reminded them softly.

Mu Qingyu instantly sobered up after she heard the sound. She looked at the brightly lit house in front of her. She suddenly felt at a loss. She subconsciously looked at the man beside her, only to find him staring at her.

The man gently patted her shoulder as if he could see her embarrassment and said, “Relax, it’ll be fine.”

Then, she got out of the car absent-mindedly. She realized things were not as she thought. The man took the initiative to hold her hand. Mu Qingyu’s heart started to beat faster at the sight of his rough skin with their fingers intertwined.

“Grandpa and Grandma want to see us get along well.”

The man explained indifferently. Her wildly beating heart instantly calmed down.

“Alright.”

Shen Jingmo felt a bit regretful when he heard Mu Qingyu’s calm reply. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make. What was the point of explaining?

Wu Meixiang chatted with Madam Shen on the sofa in the Shen family’s old residence.

Shen Xiaohui pulled a six-year-old boy from the carpet in the game room.

“Shen Jinghe, your brother and sister-in-law should be here now. Go out and welcome them!”

“Why aren’t you the one going!” The little boy pouted unhappily and responded in a sad tone.

“I’m just a few pieces away from finishing my puzzle.”

“Aiya! When can’t we put the puzzle together?”

“Third Sister-in-law’s first visit is today. Aren’t you curious about what she looks like?” Shen Xiaohui said anxiously. “Aiya! Hurry up and get out! Isn’t this a way to show our welcome to our third sister-in-law?”

Shen Jinghe couldn’t win Shen Xiaohui’s argument, so he could only unwillingly open the door and slip out.

On the sofa, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happened to talk about the young couple.

“Isn’t this marriage a little too rushed? Young people nowadays all pursue freedom. It wouldn’t be good if they divorced after they can’t get along.”

Madam Shen hesitated.

“Mom, you also know it has been a year, and we could not find someone suitable for that brat, Shen Jingmo, in all aspects. Besides, didn’t you agree to it back then?”

“Don’t worry,” the resolute Madam Wu said.

“What you’re worried about won’t happen.”

“Your granddaughter-in-law not only looks very lovable. The young girl maintains a good temper.”

“Oh, right. Jinghe didn’t make you angry during this period, right? His father and I have been too busy recently, so we have no choice but to send him to you.”

“Look at what you’re saying. As a grandmother, I should take care of your child. Although Jinghe is usually a little mischievous, he’s still sensitive and has never made me angry. Don’t worry.”

“That’s good. Jinghe is fine. The one I’m most worried about right now is still his big brother. Let me tell you…”

The late summer wind was already cold. It broke the quiet atmosphere between the two. Mu Qingyu looked at the exquisite-looking little boy who stood and looked at Shen Jingmo in confusion.

The little boy wore well-cut sportswear. He seriously introduced himself. “Hello, Sister-in-law. My name is Shen Jinghe.”

He was Shen Jingmo’s younger brother.

“I’m six years old. I’m about to attend primary school. I’m here to represent the Shen family to welcome you into our big family!”
