Give the child a home?

Shen Manting smiled awkwardly and said, “Well, since you’re back now, please look after the child while I unpack my belongings.”

Just as she finished speaking, she retreated and hurried out of the room.

Mrs. Shen was slightly startled.

She turned around to glance at Shen Longyue and realized that he was staring at her with a reproachful look. He chided, “Look at you. You’re getting ahead of yourself.”

Mrs. Shen felt offended. She pursed her lips and rebuked, “Aren’t you thinking the same, too?”

“Indeed, I’m hoping for the same as you are, but Manting has only just returned, after all. There’s always time for expressing your intentions later.” Shen Longyue reached out and patted his wife’s back. “Luo’an has made many mistakes in the past. I’m afraid she might not be able to forgive him as of yet. Give her some time.”

“How much time does she need?” Mrs. Shen felt even more distressed. “Luo’an is an adult now. They even have a child together…”

She lowered her voice and whispered, “Now that she has moved in with us, what if the neighbors see her and think she’s our daughter? Won’t they think that she and Luo’an are in an improper relationship?”

The more Mrs. Shen thought about this, the more anxious she felt. Staring at Shen Longyue, she urged, “Hubby, I think this matter should be settled as soon as possible. It’s not my business to worry about this, but Luo’an is your son, your mother’s grandson. Even if you’re not worried about him, your mother will definitely be concerned.”

Mrs. Shen had a valid point. The same issue had occurred to Shen Longyue.

He frowned and replied, “Luo’an must have his plans for asking Manting to return here as a nanny. We’ll leave him to his arrangements, for only he knows best. Let’s wait for Luo’an to solve the dilemma.”

“Mother will never accept this.”

“I’ll talk to Mother and leave it to her to consider the matter. She’s coming in a few days, isn’t she? We’ll talk about this then.”

Although Mrs. Shen was not quite satisfied with the reply, she knew that Shen Luo’an’s temperament was the same as Shen Longyue’s.

He must have thoroughly weighed the matter before carrying out his plans.
