The baby was very well-behaved.

Shen Manting washed her hands and then sat down at the table after getting a bowl of rice.

Shen Luo’an did the same and sat down beside her.

There were several delicious dishes in front of them. She and Shen Luo’an were sitting right next to each other, but she didn’t even choose to avoid him.

Even Shen Manting herself didn’t realize that her tolerance for Shen Luo’an had improved over the past month.

Shen Luo’an glanced at her and secretly grinned.

“Umm, sir…”

Aunt Lin wiped her hands with her apron, and her face was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Shen Manting and Shen Luo’an glanced at her.

Aunt Lin sounded a little apologetic. “You see, Manting is done with her postpartum confinement, and I only promised to take care of her until her confinement was over. So, I won’t be coming back tomorrow.”

Shen Manting was a bit surprised. “So soon?”

“Well,” she said, looking somewhat guilty, “My daughter’s about to give birth, and she’s been urging me to come home these days.”

Shen Luo’an frowned. Shen Manting felt this was a little too sudden.

Aunt Lin’s skills were good, and she was friendly, too. The best thing about her was her meticulousness.

She’d been teaching her all this month.

Aunt Lin managed to sort out all Sheng Manting’s postpartum issues, which should have been done by Manting’s mother.

Yet, all of a sudden, she was telling them that she needed to leave, and Shen Manting was reluctant to let her go.

Seeing their reactions, Aunt Lin said, “Back then, I promised to do this for a month because of the high salary and because it fit my daughter’s schedule. Besides, aren’t you going back to the capital? How about I continue working for you until you return to the capital? Just for a few more days. Would you be fine with that?”

Back to the capital?

Shen Manting’s heart dropped, and she silently glanced at Shen Luo’an.

Shen Luo’an wasn’t surprised by this. He nodded and said, “Okay. Thank you for being here for us during this time, Aunt Lin.”

Aunt Lin finally let out a sigh of relief and said, “No problem. Anytime.”

Aunt Lin soon left.

Afterward, Shen Manting continued eating, but the delicious food was now tasteless.

Back to the capital?

She wouldn’t go back.

It was just that Shen Luo’an was from the capital.

In the past month, he’d been here all the time besides for returning to the capital occasionally.

She couldn’t stay in Jiangnan all her life, could she?

Shen Manting felt annoyed again.

It was supposed to be a happy day, but she wasn’t happy anymore.

“If you don’t want to go back, you can wait a while,” Shen Luo’an said. “The baby’s already a month old. I’ve told my parents about the household registration issue.”

“On your household?” Shen Manting looked at him with a reluctant expression on her face.

Shen Luo’an put down his chopsticks and said, “My parents and my grandmother are looking forward to seeing Little Moon. Since the baby was born, they’ve mentioned more than once that they want to come see you and their grandson.”

Shen Manting’s expression became somewhat nasty.

“But I was afraid you wouldn’t agree, that they’d scare you, so I didn’t let them come.” Shen Luo’an looked at her. “They’re already getting old, and this will be their first grandson.”

“Well, I’m not young either,” she said in a low voice. “This is my first child.”

“And he’s my first child, too.” Shen Luo’an’s gaze was gentle and kind. “Manting, come back with me, won’t you?”

“Go back?” Shen Manting sneered. “For you to treat me like your slave and be imprisoned and raped by you?”

Shen Manting’s eyes were red with anger and visible hatred.

Shen Luo’an’s expression turned ugly, and his gentle tone disappeared. “Don’t be unreasonable! I’m talking to you nicely!”
