Chapter 125 (END) (2/2)

Compared to the two little girls who arrived in the Shen family three years ago, these two little princesses had also grown quite a lot, but their personalities hadn’t changed. AnQi was still bright and lively, and AnXin was still quiet and shy. If AnXin ever made a mistake, AnQi would stand in front of her and say she did it instead. The two little girls’ eyes looked more and more like brother Shen’s each day, with long, curved eyelashes like a pair of tiny fluttering fans on their faces. When they batted their eyes, it moved people’s hearts, and when they smiled, showing off their little dimples, it could have anyone inexplicably happy.

Shen Fu and Lin ShuYi got out of the car, greeting the two little princesses. Then the two girls bounced over, smiles on their faces, and opened the back door. “XiaoYu gege, is TaoTao still sleeping?”

AnQi planted a peck on TaoTao’s face without waiting for XiaoYu’s answer, and TaoTao stirred, slowly opening his eyes. “AnXin jiejie, AnQi jiejie.”

“Good!” The two little princesses were very satisfied, and both kissed TaoTao’s face one more time. The four children got off the car, and started heading for the house together.

The adults were chatting while they walked in front. XiaoYu and TaoTao caught up to greet Shen Yan and Jiang Cheng, and were patted on the head by a grinning Shen Yan. The adults left when they entered the house, looking for Grandfather Shen to wish him a happy birthday.

The arrival of the four little grandchildren overjoyed Shen Mom, teasing this one, joking with another, playing with the group of children.

Other than XiaoYu who was a little more stable, the other three kids were right at a playful age, laughing and talking and suddenly livening up the entire room.

Hearing the commotion, Grandfather Shen started to make his way downstairs. With the first soft tap of his cane on the stairs, the children immediately noticed him. AnXin and AnQi grinned at each other, and rushed up to hug Grandfather Shen. “Hello grandpa~!”

They had prepared a lot of words for the birthday event, but it wasn’t time yet.

Aunt Shen arrived in the afternoon, bring along her two year old son, Sn. She had made the flight from Los Angeles just for this celebration.

The group of kids couldn’t help but flock to this little blond haired, brown-eyed, mixed race little boy they called “uncle.” The little boy smiled adorable and couldn’t understand anything, but seeing this many people who wanted to play with him, he couldn’t help but bounce happily.

The five little children grouped together, and the adults loosely grouped together as well.

The entire family sat together for a reunion dinner. As per usual, Lin ShuYi took up the mantle, while Mama Shen helped him out, cooking up a gourmet feast.

The next day was Grandfather Shen’s official birthday. Early in the morning, everyone got up, washed up, and changed into their outfits. All the little children wore cotton coats of the same red color, but they weren’t all the same in design. For example, TaoTao and Jung Tai Sn’s sleeveless coats were festive and cute, XiaoYu’s straight collared coat was neat and handsome, and AnXin and AnQi’s red coats covered fluffy petticoats as white as snow. Every single one of them looked like a child come out of a New Year’s painting, so adorable no one could tear their eyes away.

The adults wore formalwear of all kinds, but every outfit had a little something that was red. Like a red striped tie or red gemstone cufflinks, all to reflect just how special a day today was.

Naturally, the event was booked at the XiQin hotel, ready to start at noon. In the morning, everyone prepared the gifts they were going to give Grandfather Shen.

The first thing they did was give Grandfather Shen his gifts, naturally, for him to review. Shen Fu and Lin ShuYi presented him with a traditional clay tea set, paired with a high quality pu’er. Grandfather Shen loved it immediately.

Shen Yan and Jiang Cheng both independently chose canes of an unknown wood for Grandfather Shen to inspect. With the faint woody smell, he knew they must have been of high quality wood. His current cane was nothing special anyway.

Papa Shen, Mama Shen, and Aunt Shen all presented their presents, and then it was the children’s turn. They danced and recited poems, one after another, and the smile that appeared on Grandfather Shen’s face from the beginning never lessened in the slightest.

And then all of Grandfather Shen’s good friends came as well, Old man Wen, Chen Dad and Chen Mom, and even Old Man Yang and Xiao Wan’s grandma presented him with a jar of plum wine they fermented themselves. With one crack of the lid and the powerful fragrance wafting out, Grandfather Shen immediately decided he couldn’t bare to leave this out for everyone to enjoy, and asked Shen Dad to put it aside for him to slowly enjoy later.

And in the end, up came the people who weren’t really relevant. If it had been up to just Grandfather Shen himself, the previous people would have been enough, but it really was due to the Shen family’s reputation that throwing such a grand celebration couldn’t be helped.

After the birthday banquet, Grandfather Shen was a bit tired. He hadn’t attended such lively party in such a long time. Though he was sleepy, he still stayed up for a while, played with TaoTao and Jung Tai Sna while, before he finally gave in and headed to bed.

As night fell, everyone still stayed at the Shen family estate. After all the children were tucked into bed, Aunt Shen rounded up everyone else to play a few rounds of mahjong, shaking up a huge ruckus before finally everyone went to sleep.

Lin ShuYi had been a bit tired for a while already, and after Aunt Shen evading all his mahjong tricks, he dragged himself upstairs to sleep. By the time Shen Fu got to the room, the lights were already off in the dark room. Shen Fu grinned and crawled onto the bed. Without waiting for Lin ShuYi to respond, he pressed his lips to Lin ShuYi’s.

It didn’t take long for the confusion to wash away, and then the two people became untangled under the moonlight.

Lin ShuYi felt Shen Fu in him over and over again, and as he reached his climax, he leaned up to murmur in Shen Fu’s ear, “I love you.”

“Mn?”

“Shen Fu, I love you.”

“What a coincidence, me too…”
