“Miss Shen, don’t misunderstand. These were all collected by Eldest Miss, but President Lian didn’t say that he would use them.” Chen Fa knew that Shen Yin was so smart that she could tell at a glance what these documents were for. He did not try to cover up. Instead, he just tried his best to explain on Lian Jing’s behalf.

“Okay.” Shen Yin put away the photos with a pale face and put them back into the document bag. Her hands that were holding the thermos were pale. “I-I’ll leave first. Nian Nian needs to get to school.”

“Okay.” Chen Fa did not dare to say anything else. He watched her leave with a worried expression.

When she reached the entrance, Shen Yin suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Fa, who was standing rooted to the ground. “D-do you like what I’m wearing today?”

“Huh?” Chen Fa heard her words in a daze. He lowered his eyes and looked at her clothes that were different from her usual style.

She was wearing a short, tight-fitting shirt under a milky-white wool coat, revealing a fair and slender waist. The tight jeans fit her figure perfectly, and the flared bottoms of her trousers made her long legs look even slimmer.

It was indeed more fashionable than her usual attire. Chen Fa smiled kindly and said, “Miss Shen is very beautiful today. This outfit suits you very well.”

“Okay, that’s good.” She gripped the thermos tightly and suddenly felt confident. She forced back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes and became the high-spirited Shen Yin again. She walked out of the room confidently, but not arrogantly.

At the top of the stairs behind them, Lian Jing watched the scene without saying a word. After she left, he walked down the stairs with a cold expression.

“Uncle Chen, why didn’t you put away those documents last night?”

“I’m sorry, it was my mistake. I’ll throw them away now.” Chen Fa quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Lian Jing was usually quite amiable at home. He had always been respectful to Chen Fa, who was about the same age as his grandfather. However, when it came to serious matters, he would never allowed emotions to get in the way.

Lian Jing’s tall, straight figure stood in front of Chen Fa. He lowered his eyes and looked majestically at the old man who was bowing and apologizing to him. He questioned coldly, “Was this Grandpa’s idea?”

Chen Fa’s body suddenly stiffened. He quickly raised his head and denied, “No, it’s really my fault. Please don’t think too much, President Lian.”

“Is that so?” Lian Jing sneered meaningfully. He looked up and glanced at Old Master Lian’s room upstairs. He fastened his cuffs and said calmly, “Ask Lian’e to come to my office today.”

Chen Fa was shocked. President Lian had not even called her Auntie this time. He must be angry. He did not dare to protest. He hurriedly nodded. “Yes, I’ll inform Eldest Miss now.”

In the hospital ward, Shen Nian was sitting by the bed. He expressionlessly blew on the freshly cooked oatmeal in the bowl. He scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Cheng Mu’s mouth. “Drink it.”

“Why are you so fierce?” Cheng Mu pouted unhappily and complained about his fierce attitude, but she still obediently drank the porridge in the spoon.

Just like that, Shen Nian patiently fed her an entire bowl of porridge before standing up with a stern face. He took his bag and prepared to leave for school.

Cheng Mu quickly called out to him reluctantly, “Can you come back early after school today? I’m afraid of staying in the hospital alone.”

“Aren’t the nursing aides here?” Shen Nian glanced at her coldly.

Cheng Mu batted her eyes pitifully. “But I want you to keep me company. At least you can play with me.”

Shen Nian seemed to have thought of something and sighed softly. “Alright. I had better go now.”

“Nian Nian!” Shen Yin rushed to the ward and saw that Shen Nian was about to leave. She immediately smiled in surprise and said, “Luckily, I made it in time. I

brought some breakfast. You can go to school after eating it together.”

Shen Nian had not expected his mother to come. The moment he saw her, his eyes lit up with longing. He happily burrowed into her arms and nuzzled against her clothes. “Mom, I haven’t seen you for many days.”

Shen Yin stroked his hair lovingly. “You’ve taken good care of Mu Mu. I’m very pleased.”

Only then did Shen Nian remember that Cheng Mu was still staring at him from behind. The smile that had just appeared his face immediately vanished again. He turned his head to look at Cheng Mu expressionlessly. “Mom, what food did you bring for us?

Shen Yin smiled and placed the thermos on the bedside table. She personally scooped a bowl of wontons for the two of them. “The chef at home made these.

Mu Mu, try it and see if it suits your taste.”

“Okay! Thank you, Sister!” Cheng Mu happily picked up the bowl. When he saw Shen Nian’s sinister gaze, she immediately shuddered and quickly corrected herself. “Thank you, Aunt Shen!”

“Good girl.” Shen Yin did not quibble over how Cheng Mu should address her. She smiled and used her chopsticks to place other side dishes into their bowls. “Do you like these?”

“Yes!” Cheng Mu nodded obediently and cutely. Her face was lit with a bright and infectious smile. Even Shen Nian, who was standing there with a cold expression, could not help but smile..
