In the end, Jiang Cheng was driven to Shen Xing’s bedroom by Shen Que.
She herself went to Shen Yue’s bedroom. Although Shen Yue seemed to understand a lot, what needed to be said still had to be said.
That night, it was awkward for the four of them.
When Shen Que and Jiang Cheng returned to their bedroom, they exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Shen Que, in retaliation, hugged Jiang Cheng from behind, lightly nibbling her earlobe.
"Satisfied?"
"Why are you acting like the victim here? These are your own siblings, besides, I also went to find Yue Yue."
"This matter is important. You wouldn’t want one day for them to suddenly bring someone home saying they want to get married, or even suddenly have an extra kid. Aren’t you scared?"
Following Jiang Cheng’s words, Shen Que envisioned that scenario, and thought to himself, "Terrified!"
He lifted Jiang Cheng, sitting on the sofa with her in his embrace.
Jiang Cheng naturally wrapped her arms around Shen Que’s neck, sitting on his lap as her legs swung back and forth restlessly.
"Shen Que... let’s have a little kid."
Shen Que raised his eyes.
Jiang Cheng looked at him earnestly.
"Really, I want to watch him grow up, make him a happy little boy."
Jiang Cheng’s eyes were filled with longing. If her parents hadn’t died in the earthquake, she would also have been a very happy little girl.
Shen Que felt Jiang Cheng’s nostalgia and sadness, understanding it all too well himself.
He lost his father early and had to shoulder the family’s responsibilities from a young age; later joining the army was also to support his family.
"Okay."
Shen Que said a sincere ’okay’.
...
In the following days, the two were as sweet as honey.
Jiang Cheng was slowly adapting to the slower-paced life.
Though she didn’t go to the company often, the necessary things still needed to be done.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The moment Jiang Cheng’s period arrived, she felt a bit disappointed.
After all, Shen Que was already very diligent, and they both worked hard; she thought they might have succeeded straight away.
Despite the disappointment, there was no need to rush; it was best to let things take their course.
Shen Que, on the other hand, wasn’t in a hurry. He thoroughly enjoyed these spontaneous days.
That night, Shen Que hugged Jiang Cheng as they leaned against the bed, engaging in casual conversation.
"I will probably need to go on a business trip to the south for about half a month."
After speaking, Shen Que looked at Jiang Cheng. She tilted her head and pondered a bit.
"How about... I go with you?"
Shen Que leaned back a bit, uncertainly looking at Jiang Cheng, "Are you sure?"
"I need to drive a truck there; I’m planning to set up a logistics company and this trip is to pave the way."
In other words, it’s dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng’s suggestion turned into certainty.
She had her own means, and if anything were to happen, having her around added another layer of security.
"I’m going! I want to go with you."
Shen Que still had some concerns and didn’t want her to go.
Seeing through this, Jiang Cheng immediately resorted to charm.
"Promise me...."
"Okay?"
The willing charm was irresistible, and Shen Que agreed swiftly.
Three days later, Shen Que was all set, driving back with a truck to pick up Jiang Cheng, ready to set off.
Jiang Cheng carried the provisions Grandma Shen had prepared for her, being chased out by her.
She looked pitifully at Grandma Shen.
