The 99th Divorce

Chapter 2050: Just the two of us

Shen Manting was slightly taken aback.

Although she had seen the child several times over the course of her stay at the hospital, she struggled to come to terms with the fact that this chubby boy had emerged from her belly.

Shen Manting bent down and looked at him.

Shen Yuexiao was staring back at her. Both mother and son exchanged gazes for a long time, before the latter extended his arms and shouted, “I want a hug, Mommy.”

Shen Manting’s heart suddenly softened. She smiled affectionately and reached out to lift him into her arms.

“Manting is finally home,” Nanny He muttered with reddened eyes. “It’s good to have you back.”

Shen Manting blinked at her with a bewildered look on her face.

Shen Luo’an noticed her confusion and pointed out, “This is Nanny He.”

Shen Manting greeted Nanny He politely. Then, she followed Shen Luo’an into his room with the child in her arms.

“This is our room.” Shen Luo’an pointed to a small bed inside. “The child sleeps there.”

Shen Manting nodded.

“Are we sleeping here?” She walked over to the large bed and glanced at it as she spoke.

When she turned around, she noticed a strange expression on Shen Luo’an’s face.

Shen Manting thought she had blundered. She shuddered and whispered warily, “Aren’t parents supposed to sleep together in the same bed?”

She didn’t have parents growing up, but she knew that the parents of other children slept in the same room, in the same bed.

Shen Luo’an looked at her tenderly and nodded. “Indeed,” he replied.

Shen Manting heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed with the child in her arms. She gushed excitedly, “This bed is huge! I’ve never slept in such a large bed before. It’s so bouncy and comfortable!”

“Is Manting back?” Shen Manting heard an old woman’s voice that sounded comfortingly familiar.

Shen Manting set the toddler down and stood up from the bed. When she walked out of the room and saw the old woman approaching, she shouted, “Grandma.”

Old Mrs. Shen gasped and rushed forward to embrace Shen Manting. She was teary-eyed. “It’s good to have you back. You’re finally out of the hospital. Take a stroll outside with Luo’an later.”

Shen Manting nodded and chuckled, “My husband promised to take me out for a feast today!”

She called him her husband…

Nanny He paused and turned around in surprise upon hearing that.

Meanwhile, the rest of the family weren’t the least bit surprised as everyone was well aware of the extent of Shen Manting’s memory loss.

Old Mrs. Shen nodded and said, “All right, go ahead, then. Take care of Manting, Luo’an.”

“All right.” Shen Luo’an smiled. “We won’t be bringing Little Moon along. Please look after him.”

“All right.” Old Mrs. Shen broke into a grin.

Now that Shen Manting was finally letting her guard down, she was more than glad to create more opportunities for them to be alone together.

Shen Luo’an took Shen Manting for a walk in the neighborhood. She was fascinated by the sights and sounds around her.

She didn’t resist when Shen Luo’an held her hand.

Her palm felt soft and warm.

But she was too skinny.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay!” Shen Manting responded cheerfully and entered Shen Luo’an’s car. “Only the two of us, hubby?”

“Yes,” Shen Luo’an answered as he looked at her affectionately. “Just the two of us in our world.”

Shen Manting blushed and whispered, “Are we going on a date?”

Shen Luo’an chuckled. He leaned closer to her and said, “Move closer.”

Shen Manting leaned over wide-eyed. Then, she closed her eyes and pouted her lips.
