Chapter 401: Chapter 396: Thirty Years Old Chapter 401: Chapter 396: Thirty Years Old “I ran into the Shen siblings.”
Shen Yan said, looking into Qi Si’s eyes.
She indeed wasn’t lying, so there was no trace of deceit in her eyes.
Beneath the night sky, Qi Si continued staring at her, a bit longer than usual.
Shen Yan blinked her eyes and once again t Qi Si’s gaze, “What’s the matter?”
Qi Si didn’t speak. Instead, he just lifted his hand to stroke her hair before pressing her head to his chest. Shen Yan couldn’t see his expression at that mont, but she could feel his emotion changing instantly.
Shen Yan, sowhat greedily rubbed against him, then she heard him speak, “Going back to the Shen family tomorrow?”
Shen Yan was taken aback. Why had he suddenly brought up the Shen family?
Nonetheless…
“Sure, will you co with ?” Shen Yan liked the Shen family in Beijing; she was willing to go back.
“Mm.”
Qi Si looked down at Shen Yan’s smiling face. Her eyes glead in the night, hooking one’s soul like a hook.
When Qi Si looked at her like that, Shen Yan always felt the illusion of being treasured completely by him.
Shen Yan climbed onto him, initiating a kiss.
Qi Si stiffened slightly. This ti, he didn’t kiss back but stared at her with deep, dark eyes. Shen Yan felt a bit embarrassed to be seen like this, as she always felt the urge to shy away when she initiated.
And so, she missed the montary, rigid shyness of Qi Si.
Qi Si let her go and took out a wet wipe to clean her greasy hands. Only then did Shen Yan realize she had sared oil on his expensive shirt: “It’s oily. Take it off.”
His hand paused while wiping her hands, his voice slightly husky, “Are you sure?”
“… ” Shen Yan turned her head away, “Let’s go back to the room to take it off.”
A flash of amusent glinted in Qi Si’s eyes.

The following day.
Qi Si took Shen Yan back to the Shen family mansion.
The car stopped on the open ground, where they saw another car parked to the side. Shen Yan imdiately recognized it as the one Shen Zhengping usually drove, “My brother is also here.”
“Miss, Master Son-in-law!” The butler ca out with a smile.
Upon seeing the old man, Shen Yan said, “Grandpa Li.”
This butler, as old as Mr. Shen, had been working for the Shen family for all his life, with a sense of lifeti service.
Shen Yan had looked up the Shen family’s people, morizing everyone’s na and relationship to avoid awkwardness upon her return.
Qi Si also greeted, “Grandpa Li.”
“Old Shen just happened to co back to the mansion today, and here co Miss and Master Son-in-law,” Grandpa Li pointed ahead: “He’s in the backyard, not the study.”
“Are you going out on errands, Grandpa Li?” Shen Yan asked, noticing he didn’t seem to be leading them over.
Grandpa Li laughed, “Old Shen gave a task to handle right away, Miss and Master Son-in-law, please go ahead.”
Seeing Grandpa Li of such an advanced age still running around for errands, Shen Yan couldn’t help but wonder what was so urgent that he had to do it himself?
Shen Yan’s hand was taken, “Let’s go.”
The Shen family mansion was built in an old-fashioned style, but its interior was modern.
Entering the place, with its winding paths, felt sowhat like a maze.
They went straight to the backyard and saw an elderly and a young man sitting next to the flowerbed.
Shen Zheng was discussing serious matters with Mr. Shen when he suddenly saw the two arriving, sowhat surprised, “Why have you two co back?”
Shen Yan approached Mr. Shen, “Grandfather.”
Qi Si followed with his greeting.
Mr. Shen glanced at their clasped hands and smiled, “Back ho! Have a seat.”
Shen Yan and Qi Si each took a seat: “Grandfather, how have you been?”
“I’m still robust, don’t worry about ,” Mr. Shen looked at them, “What brings you back so suddenly today?”
“Just ca to visit.” Shen Yan said.
Mr. Shen nodded, “You should co visit more often. Even though you’re married off, you are always a mber of the Shen family. Co back and spend more ti with your family.”
“Yes.”
“Yanyan hasn’t caused you any trouble, has she?” Old Shen looked toward Qi Si again.
“Yanyan is very well-behaved,” said Qi Si. “Her troubles aren’t troubles at all. Her matters are ones I should solve.”
Shen Yan felt her face heat up at his words.
What does he an, she’s well-behaved…
Old Shen’s smile grew a bit wider at the response and seed very satisfied, “Have lunch at ho.”
“Okay.”
Qi Si nodded.
At this point, Shen Zheng chid in, “Grandpa, I have so things to do, so I won’t be eating at ho.”
Old Shen cast a glance at his grandson and suddenly asked, “That girl you were clinging to at the scenic spot entrance, what is your relationship with her?”
“Cough…” Shen Zheng was caught off guard and choked.
Old Shen narrowed his eyes, “Shen Zheng, the Shen Family doesn’t have the bad habit of abandoning one’s responsibilities after initiating.”
“…” A twitch appeared at the corner of Shen Zheng’s mouth. “Grandpa, she and I have nothing to do with each other.”
“If you have nothing to do with her, then why were you grabbing the girl’s clothes?” Old Shen’s voice dropped, “If you’ve done sothing, you have to take responsibility for the girl.”
Shen Yan and Qi Si looked over.
Shen Zheng’s scalp tingled, and he felt a bit irritable, “Grandpa, I wasn’t clinging to her, it was her…”
Forget it, it’s too embarrassing to tell that a girl forcefully kissed him.
“Bang!”
Old Shen’s face darkened, and he thumped the table, “Regardless of who was clinging to who, the behavior in itself is deplorable. Bring the girl ho so day for Grandpa to take a look.”
Shen Zheng: “…”
“You’re in such a hurry for that girl? Go then, go on, get going,” Old Shen quickly waved his hand, urging him to scram.
Shen Zheng took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Grandpa, I’m dealing with sothing important.”
“Yep, finding a wife is also important.”
Shen Zheng said helplessly, “Grandpa, would you be happy if I just picked any woman who wouldn’t be of any help at all?”
Old Shen didn’t get it, “Why would I oppose? It’s not getting married. Whatever kind of woman you marry, you’re the one who has to live with her. I have nothing against it.”
Shen Zheng’s mouth twitched, “So you’re basically just having complete a task.”
“That’s right.”
“…”
Shen Zheng left in exasperation.
Shen Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa isn’t afraid big brother will marry a woman who squanders our wealth?”
“The property isn’t mine to inherit. If it’s squandered, it’s on him,” said Old Shen matter-of-factly.
Shen Yan: “…”
Quite open-minded.
“Cough,” Old Shen straightened up, “Yanyan, have you been staying in Beijing recently? What about your job in the entertainnt industry?”
“I’ll go back to work later,” Shen Yan was supposed to go in the morning but changed to the afternoon to accompany Qi Si back to the Shen Mansion.
Her adaptability was strong; she didn’t need too much practice.
“Did you take up a job in Beijing?” Old Shen paused, then looked at the two young people again, “When do you plan to have children?”
“…” Shen Yan fell silent.
Qi Si said, “Yanyan is still young.”
“You’re not young anymore,” Old Shen jabbed, “Thirty.”
Qi Si nodded without much expression on his face.
Shen Yan thought to herself: According to her age in her previous life, she was thirty.
Even older than Qi Si by a bit, turning thirty-one, to be exact.
“Wait another year or two,” Qi Si began pondering seriously, as the matter had co up. “We’ll have children when the ti is right, it’s better for her.”
“…” Shen Yan turned to look at him, was he saying she wasn’t mature enough?
Mr. Shen, seeing how considerate he was about his granddaughter’s health, was even more satisfied. The topic of having children had just been a casual probe anyway.
From this answer, it was clear that the relationship between these two young people had progressed. As long as it wasn’t a mutual dislike, he felt at ease.
