Chapter 105 (1/2)

Translated by -Crystal- Rara- of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Few more days had passed, big brother Shen’s affair was just barely settled down and Alan had to leave.

Aunt Shen’s belly had shown quite clearly. Sometimes when they were cuddling, Alan would rub her belly while showing a very reluctant look. Everyone agreed through their eyes to give them some personal space. The departing moment always left a somewhat heavy atmosphere.

Then, on the second day of Lin ShuYi’s arrival to H city, Alan had finished sending regards to everyone and was ready to fly to Los Angeles.

Everyone accompanied Aunt Shen to go to see him off. Alan held both Aunt Shen’s and Mother Shen’s hands, he lowered his head and said in proper chinese, “Big sister, I have to trouble you to take care of ShiMan.”

“Don’t worry, we will take care of her.”

Alan nodded lightly. In fact, he knew that the Shen family would take a better care of Aunt Shen than anyone. Alan looked down at his wife, laid a gentle kiss on Aunt Shen’s reddened eyes. “Be good and take care of yourself, I will be back soon.”

Alan wasn’t going back to Los Angeles permanently, he had to go back because there was an important business at his company that required his presence, so he needed to go back to Los Angeles for several months. He would come back as soon a possible once things had settled.

Aunt Shen nodded at him. When the gentle female voice reminded passengers to board the plane, Alan gave Aunt Shen a final kiss on her face, waved his hands toward everyone’s gaze and then turned around and went through the boarding gate.

Mother Shen went forward and held Aunt Shen’s shoulder, but she didn’t comfort her. Aunt Shen turned her head and said, “Let’s go back.”

Obviously, she was a little sad, but she didn’t need everyone to tend her, and not to mention, Lin ShuYi still had two children to take care of.

Throughout the trip, Taotao was happily looking from east to west until he got tired. Shen Fu held him and he was sleeping with his tiny blushing face leaning on Shen Fu’s shoulder.

Xiao Yu’s hand was being held by Lin ShuYi. When he saw Alan leave, he went to Aunt Shen’s side and pulled her hand. “Grandaunt, don’t be upset, we will be by your side when granduncle is not here.”

Aunt Shen was stunned, she protected her belly while squatting down, a smile slowly appeared on her face as she touched Xiao Yu’s head, “Thank you Xiao Yu.”

And then the family drove back.

Ever since old master Shen approved of the relationship between big brother Shen and Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng escaped to the Shen family more often. He simply regarded Shen family as his own home. He hadn’t returned to China for very long and the business hadn’t fully stabilized domestically, and also because the Jiang’s parents were unwilling to compromise, everyday had been very busy for Jiang Cheng. Nevertheless, whenever he had time, he would go to Shen family’s home and totally didn’t see himself as outsiders at all. When Shen Fu saw his brother become more and more expressive, he sighed, love really can soften the heart.

But in the end, busy was still busy. Jiang Cheng might have come but every time he came he couldn’t stay for long as he would get interrupted by various phone calls and had to leave.

Recently, Brother Shen seldom came late and left early. Probably because since he got the approval of his family, his head became clear and Shen Fu’s workload immediately became significantly less.

Shen Fu used the rest of his time to accompany Lin ShuYi.

Lin ShuYi thought to himself, by the time when Tang Shuang could completely take over Xiqin restaurant, he would hand over the main business of Xiqin Restaurant to him. After all, Tao Tao and Xiao Yu were getting bigger and bigger, there would be more things he needed to care about.

However, this didn’t mean that Lin ShuYi would become an arm-flinging shopkeeper. Xiqin Restaurant’s definition had been very clear since the reopening. As a private diners focused on the exquisiteness and taste, it carried Lin ShuYi’s desire to never stop innovating. His original idea was to add some fresh dishes to the restaurant from time to time, and this was undoubtedly something only Lin ShuYi could do.t/n: arm-flinging shopkeeper = sb who asks others to work but does nothing himself/ to count money without doing anything.

It was probably because of his nature, but he didn’t have much ambition in this life. Back then, he took over the Xiqin restaurant just so that he could make old man Yang’s life become less difficult. Later on, because of his relationship with Shen Fu, he decided to expand the restaurant, big enough so that he could stand equally to Shen Fu. Yet, after having two children, Lin ShuYi stopped having these thoughts.

In fact, he knew long ago that both of them had never really cared about other people’s opinion. He worked hard because of Shen Fu, but now because of his two children, he wanted to lead a simple life.

Shen Fu had no opinion on this. He liked the Lin ShuYi who strived his best to become his equal, but he liked the Lin ShuYi who just wanted a simple family life together even more.

The weather was getting warmer and warmer. The Qingming festival happened to fall next to the weekend, so Xiao Yu had a total of four days off from school. Shen Fu drove to Xiao Yu’s school to pick him up before bringing them to H city to worship the ancestors, and also to take the two children on a spring trip.

When Shen Fu arrived at Xiao Yu’s school, classes had yet to dismissed. Xiao Yu’s school wasn’t that far from home, but Shen Fu was more than willing to pick him up. Judging from Xiao Yu’s personality, he would be overjoyed at his return.

There were many adults waiting for the children outside the school. Most of them were grandparents but occasionally there would be a few fathers and mothers mixed among. But Shen Fu definitely stood out from the rest. A man as beautiful as jade leaned against the car, who was wearing the jacket he bought together with Xiao Yu last time, paired with a thin v-neck sweater inside, Shen Fu’s overwhelmingly handsome appearance attracted lots of attention. However, he kept stroking his phone subconsciously while looking up from time to time, because his son hadn’t come out yet.

So when Xiao Yu came out with his classmates and saw Shen Fu standing at the door, the little kid’s eyes suddenly lit and he started waving nonstop, “Dad!”

Shen Fu walked over to him with a bright smile.

Xiao Yu rushed into Shen Fu’s arms and was lifted up by him. He hugged his neck and laughed. “Dad, why are you here?”

“I’m here to take you to see your grandparents.”

Xiao Yu smiled happily, “Awesome!”

Standing behind them was Xiao Yu’s classmates, they had been all eyes on Shen Fu since the beginning. There were two girls among the group who kept looking back and forth at Xiao Yu and Shen Fu with a slightly blushing face, “Lin Yu’s dad is so good looking, no wonder Lin Yu is also good looking.”

Shen Fu put Xiao Yu down. Xiao Yu took his classmates to front and briefly introduced them. Shen Fu smiled and said hello. Finally, Xiao Yu proudly pulled Shen Fu’s big hand up and introduced him to his classmates. “This is my dad!”
