As night fell, Shen Tingsheng left the Shen Group alone and drove one of his beloved black Maybachs towards his villa.
Bai Lu had called him countless times urging him to come home.
Now he put himself in his fiance's shoe and took care of everything.
A hint of disgust flashed across Shen Tingsheng's handsome face. He turned off his phone and casually threw it on the passenger seat next to him.
When he arrived at the Villa, Shen Tingsheng took off his suit and handed it to the butler before heading towards outside to the tree shade. The hesitant voice of the butler rang out.
"Young Master, Miss Bai has been waiting for you at home all day and even prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. If you come back so late, why not go to Miss Bai's room..." The butler's word was interrupted by Shen Tingsheng's icy tone.
Glancing at the butler, his cold gaze pierced through him. "Since when do you dare to interfere in my affair?"
The butler quickly lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Young Master. I spoke out of turn."
By the time the butler raised his head again, Shen Tingsheng had already left and headed towards the tree shade.
The maid who witnessed everything secretly told Bai Lu about the scene. In Bai Lu's gentle eyes, a hint of coldness flickered. It was the same today! Shen Tingsheng still couldn't see her effort! Why?
Bai Lu bit her lip hard, her long nails painted with flesh-colored nail polish sinking deep in her palms.
Bai Lu adjusted her mood and took out a diamond ring from her jewelry box, handling it to the maid, "As usual."
The maid happily took the ring and put it in her pocket. "Miss Bai, don't worry. I will report everything I know about the Young Master's situation to you!"
Bai Lu softly nodded and returned to being the gentle and elegant young lady of the Bai Family. She put on a shawl from her closet and went downstairs.
She had called Shen Tingsheng about Yun Xi matter.
Shen Yun Xi sat under the shade of the tree, flipping through a book on 'Mastery of Programming Language' expressionlessly. When he heard the laughter from the next door, he was moved and put down the book at the movement next door.
The laughter from next door was so sweet. It sounded like the voices of two children and an adult woman. Was it the mother of the two children playing with them? That's great. This mother must not be like Bai Lu...
Shen Yun Xi couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman he saw in the restaurant a few days ago. He became more and more restless in his heart.
If he also had a mother, if that woman was his mother, he would definitely be very happy.
Shen Tingsheng walked over and saw Shen Yun Xi's expectant and sad expression at a glance. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Yun Xi subconsciously answered, "Thinking about Mommy."
The man paused for a moment, then quickly understood and took out his phone, "I'll call her over," he said.
Shen Yun Xi frowned at the man's words showing the same disgust as Shen Tingsheng. "no need," he said stubbornly.
"Why not?" Shen Tingsheng narrowed his eyes.
"I don't like her, she's not my mommy," Shen Yun Xi said firmly.
Shen Tingsheng felt a headache coming up. He didn't know what was wrong with the child lately, always so stubborn.
"If she's not your mommy, then who is?" Shen Tingsheng asked.
"I don't know!" Shen Yun Xi clenched his small fists and declared, "But one day, I will find my mommy."
Although Shen Tingsheng was cold and domineering, and always had his ways, he couldn't do anything about his son's stubbornness. He fell silent for a moment, thinking that his mood had become isolated again, and change the subject, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to Kindergarten."
The Little boy immediately resisted, "I don't want to go to Kindergarten."
"If you don't go to Kindergarten, I'll have your mommy come and take care of you," Shen Tingsheng said expressionlessly.
Shen Yun Xi's mouth moved, "...Okay, I'll go to Kindergarten."
Shen Tingsheng lowered his head and rubbed Shen Yun Xi's small head, "It's cold here, go inside."
With that, Shen Tingsheng turned and left, heading straight for the living room where Bai Lu was sitting on Sofa.
Seeing Shen Tingsheng arrived, Bai Lu quickly stood up, "Tingsheng, what did Yun Xi say?"
Shen Tingsheng looked at Bai Lu indifferently, his eyes slightly lowered, "He refused," he said.
Bai Lu's smile became stiff, and she cursed Shen Yun Xi a thousand times in her head.
That annoying kid is really difficult to deal with! She has been trying to please him since he was a child, and theoretically, even a stone heart should have melted by now. However, that kid, Shen Yun Xi, has always been resistant to her...even though she was his nominal mother! She is really a difficult burden to bear!
Bai Lu put on a sad expression and said, "Why doesn't Yun Xi like me? Is it because I haven't done enough? Tingsheng, please tell me."
Bai Lu thought that Shen Tingsheng would comfort her a few words. But Shen Tingsheng just responded with a faint "Maybe."
Bai Lu was confused. Why was the situation not what she expected?
She gritted her teeth and decided to continue with a more aggressive approach, "Shen Tingsheng, am I worthy in front of Yun Xi?"
Shen Tingsheng's voice was slightly cold, "I don't know."
Bai Lu continued to be dramatic, "But Tingsheng, Yun Xi treats me like this, and I feel so sad..."
Shen Yun Xi frowned slightly, "If you are really that sad, then go and make more effort with Shen Yun Xi."
Bai Lu was completely silenced.
After a moment of silence, Bai Lu forced a smile and changed the subject, "Tingsheng, speaking of which, the Ruan family is going to hold a banquet soon."
The Ruan family is a wealthy and respected family in Shen City.
About ten years ago, the Ruan family was even on par with the Shen Family in terms of status. Although the Shen Family has gradually pulled ahead since Shen Tingsheng took over, it is undeniable that the Ruan family is still worth befriending.
Shen Tingsheng paused for a moment, "I will go," he said.
"Good," Bai Lu was secretly pleased and clung towards Shen Tingsheng tenderly, "Tingsheng, can I come with you?"
Shen Tingsheng hesitated for a moment, "it depends on the Ruan family's decision," he said.
Bai Lu's face stiffened. She had thought Shen Tingsheng would agree to take her with him.
Shen Tingsheng said indifferently, "The old lady of the Ruan family is old. In recent years, she had only invited relatives to her birthday banquet and not outsiders, you may not be able to get in."
With that, Shen Tingsheng turned around and left for the study.
