"Madam, this is Young Master Junhao." Lan said, pointing at another boy in the photo.
"In the past, when Young Master lived in the old mansion, he had a good relationship with Big Young Master Junhao. After Madam confiscated Young Master's camera, Big Young Master Junhao secretly gave him a new one."
Third Aunt sighed, "Later on, I don't know what happened, but Young Master Junhao suddenly fell seriously ill. After he recovered, he was like a completely different person. He didn't play with the young master anymore and even threw the young master's dog off the building. White Sugar died right in front of the young master, who was only 8 years old at the time. Alas!"
Wen Ning was taken aback, her gaze fixed on the photo of Shen Shi's childish and tender face.
"After that, the big young master and the young master didn't play together anymore. The two of them didn't get along at school, the big young master would always bring his classmates to bully the little young master, taking away his pocket money and stationery, the big young master was always bullying people, but the old master didn't care, nor did anyone help the young master."
"One time, young master got a new camera and was over the moon. But young master was afraid that older master would snatch it away, so he scratched it up himself."
Wen Ning was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and stared at Lan Sao.
Lan Jie was taken aback, she had told so many stories, but Wen Ning's eyes didn't show any ripples.
"Sorry, I spoke out of turn."
These words were intentionally said by her for Wen Ning to hear, and apparently Wen Ning saw through her intentions.
"Madam, don't think too much about it. It's not that the young master ordered me to do it, but I pity the young master and want to help him. What I just said is all true. The young master has some biases in certain matters, but..."
"Alright, I'm tired." Wen Ning turned and left.
But he is precisely because of his concern, so he will show that he doesn't care.
Third Aunt swallowed back the second half of her sentence. The young master had grown up under her care, and she knew his character all too well.
Because he's afraid of being robbed by his older brother, the young master always hides the best food at the end and puts what he cares about most in the least noticeable position.
Wen Ning turned back to her bedroom, without a mobile phone, telephone or computer. In order not to get bored and fall ill, Wen Ning found a pen and some paper, sat by the window and started designing clothes for her future baby.
Having found something she liked, Wen Ning's mood gradually calmed down.
…………
Shen Zihan finished his work for the day and returned home, it was already evening.
"Has madam had dinner?" He routinely asked about Wen Ning's dinner situation.
"Back to Master, for dinner, I had a bowl of chicken soup, ate a bowl of bird's nest dessert, and also had some desserts. The other dishes were not wanted by the mistress."
"Thanks for your hard work, Lan Jie. You can take a rest first."
Shen Shihan went upstairs, the bedroom light was on, Wen Ning was sleeping on his simple desk, there were some design drafts on the table, her face was stained with ink because she was lying on the table, like a cat that had stolen food.
"Oolong tea?"
Shen Shihan called out, but Wen Ning was fast asleep and didn't respond.
He carefully lifted her onto the bed, took off her shoes and outerwear, then went to the bathroom to wet a towel with warm water and gently wiped her face clean.
The sleeping Wen Ning was unbearable, and when she wiped her face, it seemed to have disturbed her beautiful dream. Her small mouth pouted in annoyance, and Shen Sihuan couldn't help but curve up the corners of his mouth.
"Shen Shihan..."
She suddenly murmured a sentence in her sleep.
"Uh-huh." Shen Cihan immediately responded, and added another sentence a second later, "I'm here."
Shen Zihan sat at the head of the bed, his head bowed, not daring to move a muscle, like a soldier waiting for orders from his master.
But Wen Ning just called out to him and then turned over and fell asleep.
Even so, Shen Zihans heart was still wildly happy. She had dreamed of him in her sleep, and it was so peaceful, definitely not a nightmare.
At least she was no longer so repelled by him.
This was a huge breakthrough for him to win back Wen Ning.
…………
The next day, morning.
When Shen Zhan woke up, Wen Ning had already eaten breakfast and was strolling in the garden with a rice ball.
Shen Shihan sneaked a peek from the balcony for a while before going downstairs with a refreshed spirit and adjusting his tie.
Lan saw that he hadn't tied his tie and went forward to help him, but Shen Shihan waved his hand and walked into the garden.
"Rice ball, go help daddy pick up the ball."
Shen Zihan tossed the toy ball aside and ran out quickly with his short legs pattering.
"Since I helped you walk your dog, can you help me tie my tie?"
Shen Shihan didn't wait for Wen Ning's response and was already standing in front of her.
Wen Ning hastily retreated a step, almost falling over, but Shen Qingqiu was prepared and grabbed her waist with both hands to steady her.
The scent on the man wafted over, and Wen Ning couldn't help but raise her hand to help him tie his necktie.
Shen Zhan pinched her waist, "How can you still be so thin? Can't see that you're pregnant with twins at all."
Wen Ning didn't respond and instead looked behind him.
Suddenly, Shen Cihan's neck tightened, and before he could react, Wen Ning had already jogged to greet a small car that was entering the door.
"Older brother Gu."
Gu Bei got off the car and handed her a painting board and a package of brushes.
"Gu Erge, how did you know I wanted to paint?" Wen Ning's voice was filled with joyful surprise.
Shen Si Han pulled his tie tight and his face was as gloomy as a pot bottom.
With a brush and canvas, Wen Ni no longer daydreams. She spends hours in the garden painting a cloud, then lies down on the chaise longue when she's tired.
The day passed quickly, and on the second day, Wen Ning prepared to show Gu Bei Ci his own paintings, but Gu Bei Ci didn't come.
"Madam, Dr. Gu said that your current condition is very good, and he will come once a week from now on." Lan explained.
It just so happened to be the weekend, Shen Sihan didn't go to the company.
Wen Ning immediately ran upstairs after listening to Lan Jie's explanation.
"Is it you who won't let Gu Erge come see me?"
Shen Cihan was still sleeping when the quilt on his head was suddenly lifted, and Wen Ning stood at the head of the bed, staring at him with anger.
Shen Shihan could be tolerant of Wen Ning's hundred percent obedience, but he couldn't bear to watch Wen Ning and Gu Beidi perform a carefree and innocent scene in front of him.
"It was I who asked him to come once a week. Seeing you two so intimate, I felt jealous." Shen Sihan said frankly.
She looked at him with disdain and said, "What qualifications do you have to be jealous?"
"When he appeared in front of her with Jiang Yunshu, he was holding her and hugging her. Had he seen her jealousy?"
Shen Chihan got up from bed and suddenly grabbed Wen Ning's hand, pulling her to the door at the end of the corridor.
The door creaked open, revealing a vast interior space that was formed by combining several rooms and occupied half of the floor.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows with bright light and excellent views, overlooking distant mountains and a faint coastline.
There is a sewing machine, mannequin, various fabrics and threads, computer, 3D printer, etc. in the room.
This is the studio Shen Sicong has prepared for her, with all the equipment she needs.
"I've always known that I owe you an apology, so I didn't dare to tell you directly how much I care about you. I wanted to prove it with my actions, and one day you will forgive me."
"But I was wrong, you didn't even bother to discover it, just like this studio, from the first day you moved in, it has been here, and after all these years, you haven't taken a glance at it."
"Wen Ning, can you not give up on me?"
