Chapter 150: You Were Lucky
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was the first time his son’s girlfriend had come to visit. Mr. Shen could not tell if Nan Ge was nervous, but he was quite nervous.
“We are quite worried. We’re afraid that we might have neglected something.
She even told me about this just now and asked me to ask you. She was mainly
afraid about making a poor first impression and causing you trouble.”
Shen Yanqing shook his head slightly.
To be fair, his father and aunt had already done a good job. He was her boyfriend, but they were even more considerate than him.
“Have you asked Nan?”
“Not really. I just heard her praise Auntie Wang for being very well-prepared and considerate.”
“Previously, she accidentally met Mother once. At that time… she didn’t have a good impression of her and was a little frightened.”
“…” Mr. Shen was stunned.
He had no idea about this at all. He seemed to be the last to know that his son was dating.
However, this was not important.
Most importantly, he knew Shen Yanqing’s mother best.
He wanted to say something, but he was speechless.
His ex-wife had the most unforgiving mouth.
Not to mention Nan Ge, even he, her husband, and Shen Yanqing, her son, could not tolerate it previously.
He might have a bigger temper, but Shen Yanqing’s personality was obvious to all.
If Shen Yanqing could not accept it, there was no need to mention Nan Ge.
“Therefore, before coming again, I can sense that she’s a little worried that she’ll encounter the same problem again.”
“But it turned out good. You and Auntie Wang were both fine. Thank you.”
Mr. Shen looked at his son in a daze. After a long while, he smiled. “Why are you thanking me? It’s not necessary.”
“Nan is also a good girl. You’re lucky. Treat her well.”
“As for the family, you can rest assured. We will definitely not cause trouble for you. Besides, we quite like Nan. This child is lively and sensible. We’re quite happy for you.”
“So you don’t have to worry about other hidden dangers at all. We won’t disturb you.”
“When we are needed, just let us know.”
“Don’t worry, we will do right by her.”
Shen Yanqing rarely interacted with his father. He had been like this since he was young.
When he was young, he basically lived with his grandfather at the old residence. He did not have many playmates by his side. Every day, he would accompany his grandfather to play chess, practice calligraphy, and read books. Therefore, he developed his current habits.
After his grandfather left, he lived with his parents. Because of his personality, the father and son had never clearly expressed their feelings.
In his memory, his father was always calm.
The only time he broke his habit was when he divorced his mother.
It was not because his mother wanted to leave, but because of him.
That day, after he failed to persuade his mother to go home, he followed the driver back to Huai City. After returning home, he sat in his room for a long time, wondering why things had become like this.
That was the first time in history that his father had sat down with him and had a long conversation. It was also the first time that his father revealed his emotions.
Come to think of it, this was the second time he had chatted face-to-face with his father like this.
After a long time, Mr. Shen took out a box from the drawer and pushed it in front of him. “This is a gift for Nan.”
“I can’t send it over. What if she doesn’t accept it? Your auntie said that it’s not appropriate for her to send it over, so we thought about it and decided that you should pass it on.”
“It’s the girl’s first time here. Your auntie and I have also picked carefully for a long time. I hope she will like it.”
“Okay.” Shen Yanqing gathered his thoughts.
When he came out of the study, Shen Yanqing happened to meet Auntie Wang, who was about to enter to deliver tea.
The two of them looked at each other. Auntie Wang was a little embarrassed.
“Am I disturbing you?”
“No. I’ll go down first.” Shen Yanqing nodded slightly at her.
Auntie Wang quickly gave way and looked at his back.
Shen Yanqing took two steps forward and suddenly stopped.
Auntie Wang was so frightened that her hand froze. She looked at him in a daze. “Is… is there anything else?”
Shen Yanqing turned around and smiled at her. “I haven’t thanked you yet.
Sorry to trouble you today.”
‘ ..Oh my, this is not troublesome at all. Isn’t this what I should do? You child… Sigh, this… I…” Auntie Wang was unprepared for his sudden words and could not speak properly.
“It’s only right for me to thank you. Before I came today, Nan Ge was still very uneasy. Fortunately, you were meticulous. There are some things I didn’t remember, but you took care of them anyway. Thank you.”
Auntie Wang held the tray and watched him go downstairs. For a moment, she was filled with emotions.
After she remarried Shen Yanqing’s father, they only registered her marriage because they considered his feelings. There was no so-called wedding or ceremony. In the first two years, she did not even announce her marriage to his father publicly.
After marrying into the family, she had actually been worried. Although she had heard of Shen Yanqing’s personality, her status was awkward after all… so she had always been a little afraid of him.
At first, she thought that no matter what, she had to build a good relationship with Shen Yanqing. She might be a stepmother, but she was still his mother, so she had to do what a mother should do.
However, Shen Yanqing did not give her the chance and went overseas.
That thought was dispelled just like that.
Later, when Shen Yanqing returned to the country, he did not stay at the old residence. The number of times he came back could be counted on one hand. Every time, she wanted to talk to him, but she was afraid of disturbing him.
Hence, until now, she and Shen Yanqing had barely interacted.
This child was also polite to her… and very distant.
However, tonight, although he was still so polite, she was still a little touched.
The next morning, Nan Ge did not dare to sleep for too long, so she woke up early.
After eating with Shen Yanqing’s parents, she prepared to leave with him.
At the door, Auntie Wang patted her hand reluctantly. “When the holidays start, you can come back with Yanqing. Didn’t you say you wanted to learn to cook from me? I’ll teach you personally.”
“Alright!”
After getting into the car, Shen Yanqing handed Nan Ge the gift his father had given him last night.
“What is this?”
“Father and Auntie Wang prepared a gift for you and asked me to pass it to you.”
“Huh?”
Nan Ge took it hesitantly. She had no reason to refuse.
She turned the box in her hand and looked at it for a while before opening it. There was a bright pendant inside.
Nan Ge did not know much about jade, but she did not feel that it was old-fashioned. She even held it to her neck and thought it looked pretty.
“How is it?” She showed it to Shen Yanqing.
“Not bad. Jade is good for people.” Shen Yanqing felt that his father and auntie were too thoughtful. “If you go over again next time, will you still be nervous?”
“Oh, I don’t think so.. I think your father and auntie are fine!”
