Nanny He sighed quietly and continued, “There was a time when Master was in a worrying state. He seldom went to work and rarely spoke. Sometimes, he never ate anything and cooped himself up in his room for most of the day.”

Shen Manting listened without saying a word. She shifted her glance to the infant.

The infant was fast asleep. Although his facial features were not yet fully formed, his nose and mouth bore an uncanny resemblance to Shen Luo’an’s.

“I’ll be going out, Miss. Mr. and Mrs. Shen will be home soon,” said Nanny He.

Shen Manting nodded and began to tidy up the infant’s belongings.

True enough, Shen Longyue and Mrs. Shen returned home not long after.

The couple asked Nanny He about the infant as soon as they stepped into the house.

Mrs. Shen walked into Shen Luo’an’s room with a sympathetic expression on her face. She was taken aback when she saw Shen Manting inside.

Shen Manting smiled awkwardly and greeted her, “Hello, Mrs. Shen. It’s been a while since we last met.”

Mrs. Shen gradually regained her composure and stared at her in disbelief, before turning around to exclaim, “Longyue! Manting is back!”

Shen Longyue was setting down his briefcase outside when he heard his wife calling out to him.

He strode over to her. He, too, was shocked at the sight of Shen Manting.

Then, a smile spread across his serene face. He uttered tentatively, “Manting?”

Shen Manting nodded awkwardly. She smiled and replied, “Yes, Sir.”

The smile on Shen Longyue’s face froze when he heard her greet him with such a formal, impersonal salutation.

He turned to glance at Mrs. Shen and noticed that she looked sad as well.
