“All right.”
Shen Manting settled the infant in the stroller. Soon, the dishes he ordered were served.
Shen Luo’an didn’t favor spicy food, while Shen Manting found spicy delicacies irresistible.
Despite this, many of the dishes he had ordered were spicy, tantalizing Shen Manting’s taste buds.
Shen Manting enjoyed the food immensely. Shen Luo’an, on the other hand, couldn’t stand the spiciness.
He kept on gulping down water and gasping for air.
Shen Manting glanced at him and smiled smugly. “You’re such a coward. Can’t even stand the slightest hint of spiciness.”
Shen Luo’an didn’t say a word. He picked up a piece of spicy meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
He washed down the meat with cupfuls of water. “It’s quite delicious,” he muttered, while trying to keep his composure.
But it was a tad too spicy.
Shen Manting glanced silently at his crimson face and red, swollen lips. She pursed her lips and decided to spare him the insults.
Yet, she couldn’t help curling her lips in a mocking smile.
Shen Luo’an noticed Shen Manting’s expression. He quietly shifted his attention to the other non-spicy dishes.
Shen Manting laughed as she continued eating.
Even she herself didn’t realize how wonderful her mood was at that moment.
After finishing their meal, they went home with the child.
It was already past 1 p.m. when they reached home – the ideal time for a midday nap.
Shen Manting felt sleepy after changing the baby’s diaper and feeding him milk.
After lulling the child to sleep, she wondered what Shen Luo’an was doing in the room.
She knocked on the door twice, then pushed it open and walked in.
Shen Luo’an was sitting on the edge of the bed with a laptop balanced on his lap. He was typing away furiously.
Was he busy at work?
Shen Manting entered the room quietly and lowered the infant into the crib.
Shen Luo’an glanced at her and said, “I have to go out now. You look after the baby.”
“Are you leaving for work?”
“Yes. We developed a new drug recently, so Lao Wu decided to host a meeting over a meal today.”
“I see…” Shen Manting answered, thinking his justification sounded a little odd.
Lao Wu was his business partner. Shen Luo’an himself was responsible for drug research and development, while Lao Wu took care of the marketing and publicity efforts.
Why did Shen Luo’an have to participate in social appointments?
He seemed to have seen through her confusion and proceeded to explain, “I’m the main person in charge of this drug development project, so I have to clarify many of the details that only I’m privy to.”
“But didn’t you just have your meal?”
“The dinner party is in the evening. I’m heading for the lab now.” Shen Luo’an turned off the laptop and casually left it on the head of the bed. He stood up and said, “Take care of the baby. I’ll probably be back late.”
“Just go ahead.” Shen Manting felt uneasy. She mumbled, “You don’t have to tell me your plans.”
He made her feel as though he was leaving a parting message for her.
What was there left to communicate between them?
They didn’t even share a close relationship.
Shen Luo’an’s lips tensed up slightly as he stepped into his walk-in wardrobe.
He picked out a suit and changed in front of her.
He didn’t seem to care in the least about Shen Manting’s presence in the room.
Shen Manting turned her gaze away from him awkwardly and picked up the milk bottles with her back facing him.
She gathered several bottles in her hands at one go and was about to walk out of the room when she happened to catch a glimpse of Shen Luo’an removing his shirt.
Shen Luo’an had fair skin, making him appear clean and gentlemanly.
She blushed unwittingly. Then, she opened the door and left for the kitchen.
Shen Luo’an came out of the room in a suit when she had finished washing the milk bottles.
He glanced at her and said, “I’m leaving.”
Shen Manting stayed silent, but her heart was pounding vigorously.
She watched him leave and muttered, “Just go. It’s none of my business anyway.”
Of course she would take good care of her own baby. What’s the need for him to remind her?
