Chapter 794 - He Followed Closely Like a Shadow (18) (1/2)

Shen Zihao wanted to say more, but because Xia Nuannuan had agreed, he looked at her with a slight frown and didn’t say another word. He hung his head in silence.

Auntie Li hurriedly went into the kitchen to cook, while Xia Yehua and Qiao Lian invited Shen Zihao and Xia Nuannuan to take a seat on the sofa.

Every time Shen Zihao opened his mouth to speak, Qiao Lian and Xia Nuannuan would quickly change the topic so that he couldn’t persist with the earlier topic.

As dinner was almost ready, they finally heard the sound of car engine coming from outside.

Shen Zihao paused and looked up.

Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua exchanged a look and, at once, the former smiled. Shortly afterwards, Shen Liangchuan came in through the door and strode into the house.

For some reason, he seemed to have lost his radiance within two days time and looked dispirited. He had lost weight as well.

As he walked in, his gaze fell on Shen Zihao.

After a moment, he unhurriedly asked, “Did Shen Xiu send you here to plead on his behalf?”

Shen Zihao frowned.

From a young age, he had been a little afraid of his elder brother. Now that Shen Liangchuan had come home, since this was the first thing he said, he retorted impatiently, “Forget it if you don’t wish to. Just don’t look for excuses.”

Immediately, Shen Liangchuan’s expression turned dark as storm clouds as he glared at his younger brother.

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank immediately, as she walked over to place her hand on her husband’s arm.

Although she, too, felt like giving Shen Zihao a good beating to wake him up, it was the New Year after all. Besides, she knew Xia Yehua wouldn’t wish for her two sons to fight.

She patted Shen Liangchuan lightly and tilted her head in Xia Yehua’s direction, puckering her lips.

Shen Liangchuan gave her a reassuring look and then walked towards his younger brother.

“Come with me.”

Shen Zihao hesitated and asked, “Where to?”
