Both Shen Jingyu and Su Xing were taken aback. They seemed almost stunned, as if they couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
"Um, what did you say?" Su Xing instinctively reached for her belly.
After a moment of processing, Shen Jingyu's response was surprisingly, "Can this child be kept?"
"What kind of talk is that? Can it be kept? This is our child!" Su Xing's maternal instincts flared up immediately.
She realized that she had never spoken to Shen Jingyu like this before—cold and distant. If he dared to suggest not keeping their child, Su Xing would definitely distance herself from him!
Everyone understood Su Xing's feelings, but they also grasped Shen Jingyu's concerns.
Shen Huairou sighed softly, "Ah! The arrival of this child may not be at the right time, and whether it can survive depends on fate."
Shen Jingyu firmly stated, "If it affects his health—"
Su Xing punched him in the chest, "Finish that sentence! I dare you!"
A bitter expression crossed Shen Jingyu's face. How could he bear to let go? But could he really disregard this significant life for one that was still unformed?
"I will always prioritize you, no matter what! Even if you try to escape or avoid me because of this, I won't let you succeed!"
Su Xing glared at Shen Jingyu with indignation.
"Try cursing my child again!"
Shen Jingyu felt helpless; he truly couldn't find the words to respond.
Gu Tong, who had been listening from the side, initially intended to congratulate them but sensed the tension in the air and decided to stay back.
"Since that's the case, you both will stay at the old house today!" Su Xing declared. "Your grandmother and your aunt will do everything they can to help you fulfill your wishes and take care of your child."
"So, have you decided about the Shen family?"
Su Xing never expected Shen Zhengxin to give her such a choice.
Looking into Shen Jingyu's eyes, she received a confirming glance—he was prepared for this!
Shen Jingyu felt quite displeased. His gaze turned somewhat reproachful as he looked at his grandfather; he believed it was unfair for him to pressure them like this.
Shen Zhengxin responded casually, "You don't need to glare at me! Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that catches mice!"
I can only say that the method your grandfather used is indeed correct and effective!
In the end, Shen Jingyu embraced Su Xing and left the hospital. The members of the Shen Family formed a convoy and finally headed towards the long-awaited Shen Mansion. Just as their car was pulling away, Mu Zhendong arrived quietly, but he ended up missing them.
This was already Su Xing's second visit to the Shen Family, but this time, it seemed he was about to truly integrate into this family. The last time, his proud and aloof grandmother, Cheng Hui, had not spoken to him. This time, she maintained her cold demeanor, but when she saw Su Xing, she actively approached him.
"Child, I've heard about your situation. You can stay with me for a while. I will find a way to help you recover properly," she said.
Su Xing felt a bit embarrassed but still graciously replied, "Thank you, Grandma! I appreciate your concern. I feel ashamed to trouble you!"
"Family is family; there's no need for formalities!" Shen Zhengxin asserted with authority.
Shen Jingyu helplessly pulled Su Xing along. "Let me show you my room upstairs." He then turned to his family and added, "We'll rest for a bit and come down for dinner later."
It was evident that Su Xing was already tired and weary. Naturally, no one would stop them. Shen Huairou, who hadn't been around for a long time, dragged her husband and father along. After greeting her mother, she said, "We'll tidy up our courtyard first; it’s been half a year since we last came! Once A Zheng and I are settled in, we’ll be here for good!"
Shen Zhengxin nodded in satisfaction. "Finally, this house has some life in it!"
"Old man, don't be so grumpy! The energy in this house could be even higher!" Cheng Hui teased her husband without holding back.
However, Shen Zhengxin had little say in front of her.
Afterward, everyone went to their respective courtyards to rest.
"Old Madam Cheng," she said beside her husband, "make sure the butler prepares everything needed for Jing Yu's room. The child has come to stay after so long; we can't let it seem like we haven't put any thought into it!"
Shen Zhengxin waved his hand dismissively. "There’s nothing here that would stir any soft memories in that child. After all, his youth is just a memory; looking at those things might help him cherish that time!"
"Besides, this is his home. If he needs anything, he will ask for it himself; there's no need to worry so much!"
"Did you see that child's research report yesterday? Has he been staying up late again? Come rest with me for a while! Worrying about these younger generations is exhausting! I feel sorry for him!"
Suddenly hearing such words from Shen Zhengxin, his wife couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming.
When alone, Shen Zhengxin would also reflect: "There are too many lovesick men and women in this world; each generation has its own blessings."
Speaking of which, "Isn't it about time our eldest son returned? His wife has passed away; he must have suffered endlessly out there."
Upon hearing this, sorrow filled Cheng Hui's face: "Our eldest must have endured countless hardships over the years—his wife left him and his children scattered. Why must all the pain fall upon him alone?"
Tears welled up in both their eyes as they unknowingly drifted off into a light slumber.
In Shen Jingyu's room, Su Xing felt a sense of freshness.
"Shen Jingyu, you used to read Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales when you were little? I thought a cold child like you would be aloof, playing with puzzles or building blocks without allowing anyone to disturb you," Su Xing remarked with a teasing smile.
Shen Jingyu found it amusing. His gaze drifted to a corner by the window where he seemed to recall playing with a Rubik's Cube when he was six. At that time, Gu Bai was already three and would occasionally come over to bother him. But how did he manage that? He had always looked down on the snot-nosed little kid.
Following his gaze, Su Xing asked, "No way, did you really play with blocks over there?"
"It has been a long time since I've been here," Shen Jingyu replied, nostalgia washing over him. "Yes! I even complained about Gu Xiaobai being dirty and annoying!"
Su Xing smiled gently. "Actually, your childhood wasn't bad at all. You were a carefree child from a wealthy family. But then everything changed."
"Let's not talk about that anymore. You should lie down and rest! The sheets should be clean. Your health is too poor right now!"
Every time Shen Jingyu saw the weakness on Su Xing's face, his heart would ache subtly. Su Xing always tried hard to reassure him that he was fine, but everyone could see the truth.
"You've been tired for several days too. How about resting together?"
Shen Jingyu didn't refuse. "I need to take a shower first. You lie down and wait for me! You can even fall asleep if you want!"
Su Xing awkwardly replied, "Um, actually I want to take a shower too, but I don't have the strength and would really appreciate some help."
"Su Xing, you've learned to be lazy," Shen Jingyu teased lightly.
