An Xiaoyu was startled by his words.
Indeed, indeed, today she had visited the Shen Family Mansion and met Shen Yufeng’s grandparents. She really liked them and felt this family was very warm, and subconsciously, she had already considered herself a part of this family.
Shen Yufeng didn’t need to say anything, and yet, once he did, An Xiaoyu instantly felt bashful again.
Had she assumed the role of sister-in-law so quickly?
Seeing her shy appearance, Shen Yufeng couldn’t help but grin: "This is a good sign, but when will you officially step into the role of Mrs. Shen?"
An Xiaoyu coughed, "This isn’t acting, why should I step into the role of Mrs. Shen! I already am, okay?"
"You are what?" Shen Yufeng’s eyes twinkled with amusement.
An Xiaoyu felt a bit awkward.
"I’m not talking to you anymore!"
This man... He’s so annoying, always inadvertently trapping her with words or making her say what he wanted to hear.
An Xiaoyu turned her head to look outside the window, her current mood... was really excited!
The Shen family... was not as she had imagined. She had thought it would be this strict and grand household, but after visiting, she found that Old Master Shen and Old Madam Shen were so approachable, and there was even the frivolous Shen Yunqing! It was really full of joy!
By contrast, over these years at the Chu family...
Honestly speaking, her stepfather had been quite good to her, not lacking in food, clothing, shelter, or transportation compared to others.
However, because of Chu Mucheng, she suffered quite a bit when she was younger, so she couldn’t grow fond of the Chu family. And Chu Mushan wasn’t particularly friendly towards her either.
She knew that even in the Chu family, while the servants on the surface called her Miss Xiaoyu, her standing was still markedly different from Chu Mucheng and Chu Mushan.
But, she didn’t care about those, the only thing she cared about was... her mother.
Yet, from her mother, she also did not receive the warmth she yearned for!
Therefore, her heart grew colder bit by bit.
Was that considered a disappointment in kinship? Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Today, at the Shen family, Old Madam Shen held her hand so kindly, inquiring about her well-being warmly, calling her "little girl" repeatedly; at that moment, her heart felt really warm, as if Old Madam Shen was her own grandmother!
And this feeling, even her mother had never given her.
Thus... she really craved this warmth and happiness!
"Shen Yufeng, am I dreaming?"
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"I feel like everything today just doesn’t seem real! Like I’m dreaming. It’s been so long since I’ve felt this happy. Do you know, I’m really envious of you, having such loving family members... It’s truly heartwarming!"
An Xiaoyu’s words carried a faint touch of melancholy.
Shen Yufeng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. He turned the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
An Xiaoyu turned back, somewhat surprised.
"Why did you stop the car?"
Just as she finished speaking, suddenly a shadow loomed over, An Xiaoyu had no time to react before she heard the sound of the seatbelt clicking open, followed by her arm being grasped by the man beside her while his other arm encircled her, swooping her up with a clever move.
An Xiaoyu was startled, her little face instantly flushed red.
"Hey, Shen Yufeng, what are you doing? This is the street! Mmm..."
Shen Yufeng simply leaned down and kissed her.
