Chapter 124: Chapter 124 : Shen Dou Dou’s Big Mouth

Song Zhuguan left, not without flipping Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei the bird.

"Is it alright to let him leave just like that?" Shen Jingwei asked as he watched Song Zhuguan disappear around a street corner.

"Yes. Xiaoling and I agreed to send him to a rehabilitation facility when he showed up a year ago. I already paid for his living and treatment expense ten years in advance.

Unfortunately, it is not exactly a prison so he still has the option to go in and out as he pleases."

"Are Xiaoling and Yaya well hidden?"

"Pretty much. Xiaoling is about to get married in several months. Afterward, she plans to move to a small town with her husband. As for Yaya..."

Yan Renzhong took a deep breath before he continued.

"Yaya is heavily traumatized by the event three years ago. She doesn’t remember her real parents. Since Xiaoling and I are the only adults who are consistently by her side, she refers to us as her mother and father."

That explained a lot of things.

Shen Jingwei tugged at Yan Renzhong’s elbow, urging him to walk back home together.

"What is your plan for Yaya?"

Yan Renzhong sighed.

"I am rarely home, so right now Yaya is staying with Xiaoling. Since Xiaoling is getting married soon, it might be wise for Yaya to stay with me. In the future, I am thinking of adopting Yaya as my daughter."

Elder sibling adopting younger sibling was not a rarity. It was often times the only way to prevent the siblings from being separated.

Yan Renzhong stopped in his tracks and grasped Shen Jingwei’s hand.

"Jingwei... If everything goes well between us and we eventually end up living together, would you mind allowing Yaya to stay with us...?"

Shen Jingwei’s steady gaze held Yan Renzhong captive.

Yan Renzhong stared back at him while swallowing his growing anxiety.

"Yes," Shen Jingwei answered. "Of course I mind."

It was almost comical to see how quickly Yan Renzhong’s face fell.

Shen Jingwei burst into a chuckle.

"...unless you introduce us properly to each other. I would like to get to know her properly, and she should get to know me properly in return. What if she doesn’t like me? Are you going to force her to accept me?"

"Oh, Jingwei..."

Yan Renzhong made a weird twitching movement when he raised both his hands. He either wanted to hug Shen Jingwei or strangle him.

In the end, he decided to hug Shen Jingwei instead.

"Thank you," he whispered, his voice tinged with relief. "I promise that you will get to meet Yaya soon. You will like her a lot. She is a sweet and adorable girl. And she will like you a lot too. I am sure about that."

"Yes, yes, everyone knows that I am as friendly as a Golden Retriever." Shen Jingwei patted Yan Renzhong’s back several times.

"I know why you stopped me from telling Song Zhuguan about our relationship," Yan Renzhong murmured into his ear. "You didn’t want him to sell the information to press."

"Yeah," Shen Jingwei sighed. "We are at a critical junction here. I don’t want you to suffer from a backlash like..."

Shen Jingwei bit into his lower lip, not wanting to finish his words.

Yan Renzhong loosened his embrace and grabbed Shen Jingwei by his shoulders.

"I want you to know that I am by no means going to forsake you a second time. I will talk to CNC Studio about confirming our relationship..."

"Sshhh..."

Shen Jingwei pressed the tips of his fingers against Yan Renzhong’s lips.

"I know you mean well, but we are still earning our livelihoods in the entertainment industry. Best be wise before making such announcement.

Think about your career.

The drama.

The other crew and cast members who worked so hard to make the drama happen.

For now, I am content with what we have. There is no rush to confirm our relationship."

"Jingwei..."

Yan Renzhong pressed a reverent kiss against Shen Jingwei’s knuckles.

"The day will come soon, I promise."

Shen Jingwei giggled softly.

"In that case, I will patiently await its arrival."

Once Song Zhuguan had been successfully kicked out of Nanwu Town, Yan Renzhong went back to the city.

Shen Jingwei returned home alone. His younger sister was waiting for him at the porch, her eyes twinkling like stars.

"Big Brother, where is my brother-in-law?" She asked excitedly.

In response, Shen Jingwei lunged at his younger sister and held her in a playful chokehold.

"What brother-in-law? Shen Dou Dou, exactly what were you insinuating during breakfast this morning? Hmm? Hmm?"

Shen Dou Dou screamed like a little monkey.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Big Brother, good news should be shared! I am happy for you, why can’t you two celebrate this moment openly with everyone?"

Shen Jingwei sighed. He released Shen Dou Dou and gave her a light knock on the forehead.

"Stupid girl. It’s not like you don’t know why. We need to be careful right now."

Shen Jingwei sank onto an empty chair on the porch, and Shen Dou Dou onto the other. The girl dragged her chair closer to Shen Jingwei’s and whispered in a conspiratorial voice.

"But you and Big Brother Yan are officially back together now, correct?"

Shen Jingwei shrugged.

"..."

Shen Dou Dou stared at Shen Jingwei.

"Big Brother, why are you lying to me?"

"Dou Dou, we have just cleared all misunderstandings of the past. It will take time. Give it a rest."

Shen Dou Dou’s stare grew more intense.

"You know, Big Brother, if I spend an entire night together with a man and I do not come out with a wedding ring around my finger, Mom would kill me."

"And I would kill your not-proposing boyfriend," Shen Jingwei said with a saccharine smile. "That way, you can be with him in the afterlife."

Shen Dou Dou’s jaw literally fell to the ground.

"And by the way, Dou Dou..."

Leaning back in his seat, Shen Jingwei arched a brow at her sister, who shivered at the sudden drop of her brother’s tone. "How did you know that he and I spent the night together?"
