You Are My Unforgettable Love

Shen Zihao wanted to say more, but because Xia Nuannuan had agreed, he looked at her with a slight frown and didn’t say another word. He hung his head in silence.

Auntie Li hurriedly went into the kitchen to cook, while Xia Yehua and Qiao Lian invited Shen Zihao and Xia Nuannuan to take a seat on the sofa.

Every time Shen Zihao opened his mouth to speak, Qiao Lian and Xia Nuannuan would quickly change the topic so that he couldn’t persist with the earlier topic.

As dinner was almost ready, they finally heard the sound of car engine coming from outside.

Shen Zihao paused and looked up.

Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua exchanged a look and, at once, the former smiled. Shortly afterwards, Shen Liangchuan came in through the door and strode into the house.

For some reason, he seemed to have lost his radiance within two days time and looked dispirited. He had lost weight as well.

As he walked in, his gaze fell on Shen Zihao.

After a moment, he unhurriedly asked, “Did Shen Xiu send you here to plead on his behalf?”

Shen Zihao frowned.

From a young age, he had been a little afraid of his elder brother. Now that Shen Liangchuan had come home, since this was the first thing he said, he retorted impatiently, “Forget it if you don’t wish to. Just don’t look for excuses.”

Immediately, Shen Liangchuan’s expression turned dark as storm clouds as he glared at his younger brother.

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank immediately, as she walked over to place her hand on her husband’s arm.

Although she, too, felt like giving Shen Zihao a good beating to wake him up, it was the New Year after all. Besides, she knew Xia Yehua wouldn’t wish for her two sons to fight.

She patted Shen Liangchuan lightly and tilted her head in Xia Yehua’s direction, puckering her lips.

Shen Liangchuan gave her a reassuring look and then walked towards his younger brother.

“Come with me.”

Shen Zihao hesitated and asked, “Where to?”

“You’ll know in a while. Why? Are you scared?”

Shen Zihao snorted icily and said, “Why would I be?”

He turned around to pick up his jacket and walked out after Shen Liangchuan.

Xia Yehua and Xia Nuannuan wanted to follow along, until Qiao Lian suddenly extended her hands and held them back. “Mom, Nuannuan, they are brothers and they have their own way of dealing with things. Let them be.”

Xia Yehua was still worried and asked, “Won’t they end up fighting?”

Qiao Lian thought to herself that if Qiao Yi were so undiscerning, she would have beaten him to death. Shen Zihao really did deserve a beating.

Although she had these thoughts, she was worried too.

She wondered if Shen Liangchuan had taken Shen Zihao somewhere else, so that they wouldn’t have to have a fistfight right in front of Xia Yehua.

She frowned as this thought entered her mind.

When she turned back and saw that Xia Nuannuan was standing there with a worried expression on her face as well, she quickly said, “Mom, Nuannuan, let’s have dinner first.”

Xia Yehua was about to speak when Qiao Lian smiled and said, “We can stay hungry, but we mustn’t let Nuannuan stay hungry. She has to eat for two.”

At that light-hearted remark, the two of them did not say another word and took their places at the dining table.

–

Shen Liangchuan led Shen Zihao out of the house and into his car. As he started to drive away from the villa, he asked Shen Zihao, “The day Shen Xiu created trouble here, what happened after he went home?”

Shen Zihao cleared his throat after hearing this and replied, “Dad knows he was at fault.”

Through this remark, Shen Liangchuan knew at once that Shen Xiu must have had insisted that he had done nothing wrong.

Shen Liangchuan did not say another word and pulled up at villa 18.
