Chapter 446 Warmth
There were few people in Shen's house, and the few people in it were silent one by one.So after getting along for a whole day, it is very difficult to have a time when there is a lot of people.

The place that is quieter than Shen's house is old man Shen's study.There, apart from the occasional old man Shen and Butler Qian, there was only a pile of well-hidden ashes left.Apart from the weekly cleaning of this place, the servants of the Shen family hardly dared to approach it.

Even if they don't know what's inside, they still feel scared instinctively.

After Steward Qian left the utility room, he turned a corner and came to Mr. Shen's study room at the end of the second floor.Same as the previous few times, Steward Qian pushed open the door and walked into the study without knocking.

To Steward Qian's surprise, the door of the inner room was not closed today, and the door was wide open, allowing Steward Qian to see everything inside at a glance——Shen Changhe's old hands were gently stroking the wound he was holding. The portrait, the portrait of his son.There was also a deep sadness on the face full of wrinkles and ravines.This was a strange scene. Shen Changhe obviously didn't shed tears, but when Butler Qian looked at it, he felt his nose sore.

It was the same as before, Shen Changhe didn't sit on a chair this time.The body is still in direct intimate contact with the cold ground.The thick back is stooped, and people can know from a short distance that this is the back of an old man, vicissitudes and pitiful.

Seeing this, Steward Qian involuntarily slowed down his steps.Because Mr. Shen was sitting on the ground, Steward Qian bent his back so that the conversation between himself and Mr. Shen would not be so awkward: "Master, autumn is here, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Sit down." You may not be able to bear it on the ground, how about I go and get you a chair?"

Shen Changhe didn't raise his head, and he didn't know where he was looking with his unfocused eyes, but following the direction of his eyes, it was not difficult to guess that before Shen Changhe lost his mind, he should have been staring closely at the portrait in his hand.

"No, I'll stay with Shilin again." After Steward Qian finished speaking, Shen Changhe spoke quietly after a while, and asked, "Old Qian, what time is it?"

Steward Qian knew that his master was worried about meeting with Leng Mohan at the moment, so he followed the old man's topic and replied, "Master, it's lunch time in 10 minutes, Mr. Leng should be here soon."

As soon as Steward Qian finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by the maid's voice: "Master, Mr. Leng from the Leng Group is here to visit." Hearing this, Steward Qian suddenly remembered something. One thing, I don't seem to have told my servants yet, Leng Mohan will come to Shen's house for lunch at noon today.

"Master—" Steward Qian shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, lowered his head and reported to Shen Changhetong respectfully, "Mr. Leng is here, are you going down now?"

Shen Changhe stretched out his hand towards Steward Qian, "Old Qian, come and help me up." He sighed while speaking, "I begged him to come today, so naturally I can't be negligent!"

When Auntie Ding from Linshui opened the door of the villa, she just heard Shen Xiaonian and Shen Yuchen laughing together.The laughter of the two was extremely contagious, which made Aunt Ding, who was in a bad mood, feel much calmer after listening to it.

After putting the two bags of vegetables in her hand into the kitchen, Auntie Ding took a handful of long raw beans in one hand and a stainless steel bowl in the other, and walked to the living room where Shen Xiaonian and Shen Yuchen were.

"Xiao Yuchen, tell Grandma Ding, what fun thing can make you happy like this?" Auntie Ding joked to Shen Yuchen who was still grinning from ear to ear in the middle of the sofa as soon as Auntie Ding entered the living room.

After hearing the voice, Shen Yuchen turned his head and called Aunt Ding sweetly: "Grandma Ding! Are you back?" Seeing that Aunt Ding was holding a handful of beans, Shen Yuchen hurried forward to take the things together : "Grandma Ding, sit down and rest for a while, I'll help you hold it!"

"Good boy!" Auntie Ding obediently handed the things to Shen Yuchen, and she found a sofa to sit down at random: "Yuchen, come here with beans and a bowl, Grandma Ding is coming to peel the beans."

Shen Yuchen walked forward and asked curiously: "Grandma Ding, peel the beans? Can I peel the beans with you?"

"Of course!" Aunt Ding readily agreed, and after taking a large handful of beans from Shen Yuchen, she handed him back a small handful, "Hey, I will peel this small handful of beans for you. Grandma Ding will teach you how to peel them." !"

"Okay!" Shen Yuchen said happily.

Looking at Shen Yuchen and Auntie Ding who were peeling beans on another sofa, Shen Xiaonian's mood was not complicated.

Shen Xiaonian still doesn't understand until now, how could such kind-hearted Auntie Ding do such a thing to hide her truth?So, could it have been a misunderstanding in the end?Even after knowing so many obvious clues, Shen Xiaonian is still not sure.Or rather, she wasn't sure.

Shen Xiaonian thought about it, and looked out the window involuntarily.The window is beside her, so Shen Xiaonian only needs to tilt her head slightly to have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery in the garden of the villa.

Outside the window, the trees are bathed in warm sunlight, as if covered with a layer of golden gauze.Shen Xiaonian sighed, today's weather is so good, it is really not suitable for talking about any serious topics.So, let Shen Xiaonian enjoy the warmth from Aunt Ding for a while today.

Even if this kind of warmth is likely to be false... "Xiao Nian, what is so beautiful outside?" Just when Shen Xiaonian was in a daze, Auntie Ding's topic came to her unexpectedly.

Shen Xiaonian looked away, smiled lightly, and replied: "It's nothing, I just think the weather today is not bad."

After listening to Shen Xiaonian's words, Aunt Ding also glanced outside casually, "The weather is not bad today. I just walked from the ancient temple to the vegetable market and felt sweaty all over!" Speaking of this, Aunt Ding suddenly " "Oops", raised his head, looked at Shen Xiaonian with burning eyes, and said, "Xiao Nian, where is your Mr. Leng? Did you invite him to your house for dinner at noon today?" While talking, she kept talking to Shen Xiaonian Wink.

From this point of action, it can be seen that Aunt Ding might be even more gossip when she was young than she is now.

Maybe Auntie Ding's wink at her was too amusing, Shen Xiaonian laughed out loud: "Auntie Ding, she is a busy person, how can she have time to eat with us every day?"

After Shen Xiaonian finished speaking, Shen Yuchen interrupted hastily, and said, "Grandma Ding, Father Leng has a date at noon, and it's not that he's ignoring us! I also made an appointment with him, saying that we will play together after lunch of!"

Auntie Ding smiled lovingly, and reached out to touch Shen Yuchen's hair, "Yes, Papa Leng likes you the most, Xiaochen...Does Xiaochen like Papa Leng?"

Shen Yuchen replied without hesitation: "Of course I like it! I like it very much!"

Auntie Ding smiled and then spoke again, and asked amusedly, "Which one does Xiaochen prefer, Father Leng or Mother Leng?" Most elders like to ask their children such questions, and Auntie Ding is no exception.

This time, Shen Yuchen began to hesitate.He tilted his head to look at Aunt Ding for a while, then turned his head to look at Shen Xiaonian who was on the sofa but smiled silently, and finally answered after a long while, "Grandma Ding—likes like mother, and likes like father Leng." It's different. I have a lot of love for both of them, so they can't be compared!"

Shen Xiaonian didn't ask Shen Yuchen what is the difference between her liking and Leng Mohan's liking, children's thinking may be like this.Living in this world, most of them will have their own set of rules for doing things.Apart from these, Shen Xiaonian still felt an indescribable pride rising in her heart when she heard that these words were spoken by her seven-year-old child.Even Aunt Ding felt that Shen Yuchen's answer was beyond the imagination of ordinary children, and praised Shen Yuchen several times.

Shen Yuchen smiled shyly with a red face.If Leng Mohan was here, he would definitely think in his heart, Shen Yuchen's shy look is very similar to Shen Xiaonian's shyness.

"Grandma Ding, do you think I peeled them right?" Shen Yuchen held the beans that he had carefully peeled in front of Aunt Ding with both hands, and said as if offering a treasure.

Auntie Ding raised her head, looked at the beans in Shen Yuchen's hand for a few times, and then praised: "Xiao Yuchen's beans are peeled really well, even better than Grandma Ding's!" After finishing speaking, Auntie Ding deliberately added: "How can Xiao Yuchen be so capable!"

Shen Yuchen laughed brightly, "Grandma Ding, don't be envious, the reason why Xiaochen is so capable is because her mother taught her well!"

As soon as this sentence was finished, Shen Xiaonian became silent, while Auntie Ding who was sitting on the other side laughed from ear to ear.
