Chapter 419 No Need to Force Yourself
Sheng Tingchen paused, his hand hovering over the screen. He turned to look at the woman beside him, who looked at him with suspicion. He chuckled and said, "Why can't I eat it?"
Rong Shu said, "There's no need to force yourself if you can't do it."
Sheng Tingchen's smile deepened, and he said, "Don't worry, you can definitely eat it."
Waiting for the food to be served.
Five dishes and a soup: ready-made seafood steamed dumplings, pan-fried Wagyu beef, braised beef brisket with potatoes, stir-fried shrimp, a side dish, and a seafood soup.
"Daddy, it smells so good!"
Sheng Tingchen picked up Meimei and settled her on the stool, saying, "Meimei, try it quickly. Your mother suspects that what your father makes is inedible."
"it is good."
Meimei picked up a piece of potato with her chopsticks, blew on it, and looked incredibly cute as she pouted and blew.
After blowing on it to cool it down, Meimei put the potato in her mouth. After tasting it, Meimei's eyes lit up instantly. She turned to her mother and said, "Mom, it's delicious. You should try it."
Rong Shu sat beside her, while Sheng Tingchen sat opposite the mother and daughter.
After lunch.
Someone came to clean the kitchen.
Sheng Tingchen took the medicine and handed a glass of water to Rong Shu.
She reached out, took the medicine, and swallowed it.
In the afternoon, Sheng Tingchen showed no intention of taking the two of them back to the island estate, and Rong Shu didn't ask any questions.
This afternoon.
Rong Shu heard that Sheng Tingchen had received many phone calls, all of which were work-related.
Inside the manor.
The group of people who hadn't seen Sheng Tingchen bring anyone back looked rather grim.
Su Qingzhi said, "Wait a little longer, Sheng Tingchen will bring Xiaoshu back."
Until night falls and the city lights come on.
The birthday cake was lit, but the living room lights were off, with only the glow of the glass lamps shining in from the window, their flickering candlelight illuminating the woman's delicate face.
The large living room was quiet, devoid of the usual boisterous celebrations of a birthday party.
"Mom, make a wish quickly," Meimei urged.
Rong Shu looked at the birthday cake in front of her, then glanced at Mei Mei's happy little face. This was the first birthday with Mei Mei by her side, and suddenly a bittersweet feeling welled up in her heart.
All that could be heard was a man's voice from above, saying, "Make a wish!"
Rong Shu looked away, closed her eyes, and silently recited something to the cake.
She quickly opened her eyes and blew out the candle.
Sheng Tingchen turned on the light.
Meimei asked excitedly, "What wish did Mommy just make?"
Rong Shu smiled and said, "Wishes won't come true if you say them out loud."
Meimei responded with an "oh".
"Let's cut the cake!"
Sheng Tingchen handed the knife to Rong Shu.
Rong Shu cut a small piece for Mei Mei, a piece for Sheng Tingchen, and a small piece for herself.
Meimei ran to the sofa and sat down, watching cartoons and happily eating the cake in her hand while swinging her legs. Rong Shu and Sheng Tingchen walked over.
Meimei suddenly asked Rong Shu, "Mom, do you know when Dad's birthday is?"
Rong Shu paused for a moment, then asked without answering, "Does Meimei know?"
Meimei said, "Of course I know, it's August 20th. Mom, let's celebrate Dad's birthday together next time too."
She likes celebrating her birthday with just her parents, just the whole family.
August 20th.
Rong Shu certainly remembered.
That year, she was less than three months pregnant with Meimei. She was still experiencing morning sickness and looked extremely haggard. At that time, Sheng Tingchen loathed her to the extreme, but she still fantasized about being a good wife. She even prepared a gift for herself, a diamond brooch and a lion clasp that she had crocheted herself. She also prepared dinner. Of course, at that time, she knew that she was just deceiving herself, and she didn't know what she was hoping for or fantasizing about.
As expected, Sheng Tingchen did not return that night.
She placed the gift in his study.
Until the morning of the third day.
She saw the brooch and lion clasp thrown in the trash can, and heard Wu Fang and the others' harsh mocking voices in her ears. Seeing her distressed appearance, their mockery intensified, and every word felt like a knife deeply stabbing into her heart.
that moment.
Rong Shu felt pain all over her body, but this was nothing out of the ordinary. She had brought this humiliation upon herself, so she silently put the things away.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Meimei looked at her mother who suddenly stopped talking and seemed to be in a low mood, and asked in confusion.
Sheng Tingchen suddenly grasped Rong Shu's hand. The warmth from his large, warm palm made Rong Shu tense up, trying to pull her hand away.
Sheng Tingchen, however, held on very tightly.
She suddenly turned her head to look at the man beside her, her eyes churning with emotions, and her eyes gradually reddened.
Sheng Tingchen held her hand tightly, looked into her eyes, and took in all her emotions.
The sudden silence caused the original warmth to burst easily, like a bubble.
Meimei didn't know what had happened, but she could sense that something was wrong with her parents, so she quickly said, "Mom, did Meimei say something wrong?"
Rong Shu snapped out of her daze, tried hard to control her emotions, looked at Mei Mei, and smiled, saying, "No, Mei Mei didn't say anything wrong..."
boom!
Suddenly, dazzling fireworks burst forth outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Meimei turned to look out the window, "Mom, the fireworks are so beautiful!"
The living room is located in a location where you can see the fireworks from the best angle through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
She subconsciously turned around and glanced at the man behind her.
Sheng Tingchen smiled faintly, the dazzling light of the fireworks reflecting in his eyes, making them deep and captivating.
Rong Shu understood something.
Meimei ran to the window to watch the fireworks, and Rong Shu accompanied her.
The fireworks lasted for fifteen minutes, followed by a drone show that lasted for half an hour. It wasn't until the very end that Meimei realized what was happening and looked at her father, asking, "Dad, is this a show you prepared for Mom?"
Sheng Tingchen did not deny it.
Meimei looked at her mother again.
Rong Shu reached out and patted her little head, then turned to look at the man beside her and said thank you, "Thank you."
Sheng Tingchen simply reached out and took her hand.
Rong Shu felt his large hand exerting extra force.
At this time.
Sheng Tingchen's phone vibrated. He released Rong Shu, turned around and went back to the living room. He picked up his phone, saw the caller ID, and hung up immediately.
Rong Shu watched his actions and realized it wasn't a work call. But who was it that would call him on a personal call and then hang up so decisively without hesitation?
Although I had doubts in my heart.
But she didn't ask any further questions.
They stayed here again tonight.
After Meimei falls asleep.
Sheng Tingchen showed her some data and asked her to help with an analysis.
"You can't sleep too much in one day. If you can't sleep now, you have to find something to do to keep your brain active so you don't wake up in the middle of the night."
She really didn't know how to refute his words.
Rong Shu glanced at the data on the tablet; it was all internal data.
Of course, she immediately refused, saying, "I don't want to do it."
A playful smile curved Sheng Tingchen's lips as he said in a deep voice, "Want to do something else?"
