Shen Luo’an left all of a sudden.

Shen Manting didn’t come back to her senses for a while.

“…Manting?” Aunt Lin asked tentatively.

She entered the ward with a thermal container, looked around, and asked, “Where’s Mr. Shen?”

“I don’t know.” Shen Manting leaned against the edge of the bed. “I’m a bit hungry.”

“Ah, here’s your meal.”

Aunt Lin set down the thermal container and poured some soup into the lid. She said, “I started brewing the herbal tonic early in the morning. The herbs and meat chunks have settled at the bottom. I’ll scoop them up for you after you drink the soup.”

Shen Manting looked at the bowl of ginseng chicken soup in her hands and paused for a long time before taking a sip.

“Pardon my speaking up, but it’s not easy living together as a married couple. Both of you shouldn’t quarrel, even if it’s for the child’s sake,” advised Aunt Lin out of concern. “When the child grows up, both of you will realize that things will pass with a little patience and tolerance. Mr. Shen has a bad temper, but just bear with him. Actually, he’s rather kind at heart and very concerned about you. Maybe he isn’t any good in saying something nice.”

Shen Manting listened to her in silence.

“Manting, the baby is still so young and needs the care of his parents. As his mother, you shouldn’t quarrel with the father in front of him, let alone start a fight.”

Shen Manting suddenly felt a wave of sadness surge within her.

She couldn’t hold back her tears anymore; she let them trickle down her face.

Her tears fell into the bowl. She let out a laugh.

“So you think I’m the one causing trouble, don’t you?”

Shen Manting’s tone was not very pleasant. She was smiling, but her expression looked so contorted that she would have been better off crying.

Aunt Lin was at a loss for words. After a while, she said, “That’s not what I meant, but I don’t think Mr. Shen would be so enraged for no reason. Perhaps something you said offended him.”

She felt that Shen Luo’an was a decent person.

But Shen Manting would be terrified out of her wits whenever she saw him.

Sometimes she avoided him as if he were a snake; at other times, she was perfectly comfortable with his presence.

However, the relationship between them was never intimate.
