Chapter 401 A blessing in disguise
As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, Aunt Qi hurried over and said to Wenren Chen, "Sir, the old lady said you should go to her place since you're back."
Wenren Chen said, "Hmm."
I carried the little one and continued forward.
Clearly, he would put the little one in bed before going to see Sheng Mingying.
Zhou Yi followed Wenren Chen and, upon hearing Qi Ma's words, remembered the phone call the old lady had made to her that afternoon.
The old lady called the gentleman over, probably because she had asked him about the woman during the day.
With that thought, Zhou Yi felt relieved.
Yu Yu's future mother is someone her husband knows well, so there's no need to worry.
The group went back to the nursery together. Wenren Chen put the little one on the bed, Aunt Dong went to run the water, and Zhou Yi covered the little one with a blanket.
"I'll be there in a bit."
When Zhou Yi heard the deep, magnetic voice, he paused for a moment, then said softly, "Okay, sir, you don't need to worry about Yu Yu. Aunt Dong and I will give Yu Yu a bath."
Wenren Chen said, "Hmm."
He left the nursery, and Zhou Yi watched him with a warm smile in her eyes.
I feel that my husband is becoming warmer and warmer.
Aunt Dong was running water in the bathroom when Zhou Yi went to get clothes for the little guy. The two of them prepared for the little guy's bath together.
Wenren Chen left the nursery and went downstairs to Sheng Mingying's place.
At this moment, at Chashan Garden.
Sheng Mingying sat in the pavilion, slowly brewing and drinking calming tea.
Aunt Qi was serving her.
As soon as Wenren Chen returned, Qi Ma received a call from a servant informing her that Wenren Chen had returned.
She hung up the phone and told Sheng Mingying, who then waited there calmly.
In just a few minutes, the tall, handsome man came out of the corridor.
When Qi Ma saw this, she smiled and said to Sheng Mingying, "Madam, Sixth Young Master is here."
Sheng Mingying was holding a teacup, eyes closed, savoring the aroma of the tea, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Hearing Qi Ma's words, she opened her eyes and said, "Quick, make a cup for Xiao Liu."
Aunt Qi smiled and said, "Yes."
He bent down to make tea for Wenren Chen.
Wenren Chen walked over with steady steps: "Mom."
Sheng Mingying immediately smiled kindly and said, "Little Six, sit down quickly."
"Ah."
Wenren Chen sat down opposite Sheng Mingying.
Qi Ma placed the calming tea in front of Wenren Chen.
Sheng Mingying said with a smile, "Try this tea. It's the latest spring mountain tea that your Uncle Gu sent back to your dad."
Wenren Chen picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of the tea, and then smelled its aroma.
Sheng Mingying said, "How is it? The taste is not bad, right?"
Wenren Chen said, "That's right."
He put down his teacup and looked at Sheng Mingying.
Sheng Mingying immediately looked apologetic and worried: "Xiao Liu, I'm so sorry, Mom misunderstood you today. Well, it happened this afternoon..."
Sheng Mingying vividly recounted the events of the day to Wenren Chen, letting him know that she wasn't deliberately angry with him, but had a reason for it.
Wenren Chen listened to Sheng Mingying's words and watched as this old face seemed to be performing, changing expressions every now and then in an extremely exaggerated manner, without saying a word.
After Sheng Mingying finished speaking, she saw Wenren Chen's expression and immediately sighed heavily, saying, "It's because Mom is anxious. You didn't want to go on blind dates in the first place. If it weren't for Yuyu, you definitely wouldn't have agreed."
“Now that you’re cooperating so much and making time for Yuyu, Mom is still so anxious and blaming you. It’s really not right of me.”
Wenren Chen remained silent.
He made no comment on Sheng Mingying's self-blame, apology, worry, and concern.
Seeing his unassuming demeanor, Sheng Mingying's eyes flickered, and she said, "How about... we call it off?"
Wenren Chen lowered his eyes slightly, picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "The assessment is complete."
Sheng Mingying's brows twitched instantly, and a look of joy flashed across her eyes. She finally felt relieved.
However, she didn't show any joy on her face, her expression still full of worry: "Sigh, the marriage proposal can be completed. Your Aunt Nan's mother has already made it clear that there won't be any more problems. Everything will proceed as usual, except for this Yu Yu..."
"I'm not satisfied with anything, what should I do?"
As Sheng Mingying spoke, she carefully observed Wenren Chen's expression.
Wenren Chen held the teacup, looking at the light green tea inside. In the lamplight of the night, a layer of warmth was added to the cool color, giving it a touch of warmth.
He looked up at Sheng Mingying and said, "Let's finish the tasting first, then we'll talk."
A glint of light flashed in Sheng Mingying's eyes, and joy spread uncontrollably across them.
"Okay, Mom will do whatever you say. We'll do whatever you say."
"After all, this is the person you're going to spend your life with, and also Yu Yu's mother. This matter cannot be taken lightly."
Wenren Chen said, "Hmm."
As night deepened and it grew late, Sheng Mingying finished saying what she needed to say, and then asked Wenren Chen about his work, whether he was busy or not. After asking all these questions, she told Wenren Chen to go wash up and rest, and she went back to her room.
"Madam, are you worried that Sixth Young Master will lose face after today's incident?"
On the way back, Qi's mother couldn't help but ask.
Sheng Mingying looked relaxed, happy, and in a great mood.
Hearing Qi Ma's words, she snorted and said, "My little sixth son is hard to fathom. I, as his mother, really don't know what he's thinking."
"In the past, I've mentioned going on blind dates many times, but he just wouldn't go. He would stay far away from me. Now that he's cooperating so well, I honestly still feel a little uneasy. But after what happened today, I was actually a little relieved. I thought he might take this opportunity to say he didn't want to go on blind dates anymore. I didn't expect him to still want to go on blind dates. It seems like he really wants to settle down."
"Men only truly feel at ease when they have children."
Aunt Qi understood and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Sixth Young Master has changed a lot in the past few months. He travels less for business trips and we see him more often on weekdays. Miss Zhou and Young Master are often with him. He seems to have become much more humane than before."
Sheng Mingying's old face immediately lit up with a big smile, and her wrinkles deepened.
She said, "So, it makes a big difference for a man to have children versus not to have children, and it makes an even bigger difference once he finds the mother of his children."
"Before, I was very worried, but now that I think about it carefully, I actually think it's not so bad."
"Otherwise, I don't know when I'll be able to see my grandson or my sixth daughter-in-law."
Aunt Qi laughed and said, "This really proves the saying: 'A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.'"
Sheng Mingying nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, that makes sense."
As night deepened and the moon hung high, the lights in the old house's bedrooms were extinguished one by one, and Qishan quickly fell into a deep, quiet sleep, peacefully awaiting the arrival of tomorrow...
Time flies. Everything in the old house remains the same, and Wenren Chen's life continues as usual, as does Zhou Yi's.
During the day, Zhou Yi took the little one and Wenren Chen to a blind date at noon. After the blind date, she went to Wenren Chen's company to wait for him. Then, in the evening, she took the little one and Wenren Chen to another blind date.
Days passed by in this way, and before you knew it, it was the weekend.
