Chapter 444: Like a Cat

"This..." Jiang Cheng observed his wife's expression as he phrased his words, "definitely isn't it!"

"Wife, you're right. How could people who like each other not have conflicts? Only by resolving conflicts when they arise can a relationship reach a higher level!"

Si Rong was very satisfied with his answer. "Mm, the relationship between us is exactly what it is because we've gone through conflict after conflict, which is why it's so good now."

"Yes!" Jiang Cheng immediately expressed his agreement.

Si Rong was also very satisfied; she hadn't deliberately observed the two children the whole time.

In this lifetime, Bai Mo had finally managed to draw closer to Jiang Sinian.

Having learned from the experience of her past life, she would certainly be as submissive as a cat in front of Jiang Sinian in this one.

She hoped that the conversation between the two of them as husband and wife today would provide some guidance to her foolish son.

Although Jiang Sinian was still watching the television, he had a thoughtful expression on his face.

He admitted that he had feelings for Shen Yuan; in the years they had been good friends, they had never once had a conflict.

No matter what he wanted to do, Shen Yuan supported him; no matter what he said, Shen Yuan agreed.

Did she like him?

Over there, his parents were still talking.

"Do you know what kind of relationship exists where one party completely listens to the other?"

"What?"

"Mother and child."

Jiang Sinian:...

The next day after school, he didn't make plans with Shen Yuan and fed the kitten by himself, lost in thought while he fed it.

"What a coincidence," Shen Yuan walked up behind him holding a ham sausage, "I'm here to feed the cat too."

The kitten meowed and rubbed against her leg. Just as Shen Yuan peeled the casing off the ham sausage, she heard Jiang Sinian say, "Don't feed it! It just ate a few large shrimp; don't let it get stuffed later."

Shen Yuan immediately obeyed and put the ham sausage away. "Alright, then I'll save it for it to eat tomorrow."

She was like this on weekdays, and Jiang Sinian hadn't felt there was anything wrong with it.

But today, remembering the things his parents had chatted about, he felt very awkward.

As if looking for a fight, Jiang Sinian suddenly pointed at the little stray cat and asked Shen Yuan, "What do you think of how this cat looks?"

Shen Yuan felt that Jiang Sinian was a bit strange today, but she still gently tucked the hair blown messy by the wind behind her ear.

This little orange cat was one she and Jiang Sinian had raised together, witnessing the course of their relationship. "It's very cute, very pretty."

"Wrong!" Jiang Sinian immediately refuted her. "It's clearly very ugly!"

He even deliberately gave the kitten's tail a light kick with his toe. "Ugly cat! Tell me, aren't you just an ugly cat?"

Jiang Sinian especially hoped that Shen Yuan would refute him right now, scold him for being sick, or even kick him a couple of times.

But Shen Yuan didn't; the surprise in her eyes hadn't even faded before she began to agree with Jiang Sinian again.

"Looking closely, it does seem a bit ugly. Sinian, you're right; it seems we really did raise an ugly cat." Shen Yuan couldn't gauge Jiang Sinian's thoughts and could only rub her own temperament to be softer and even softer in front of him.

Jiang Sinian, however, felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Could it be that Shen Yuan had taken his mother's words to heart and was treating him like a child?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, any romantic thoughts in his heart vanished; he only felt it was ridiculous and funny. Fortunately, fortunately he hadn't confessed to Shen Yuan yet.

"You feed it yourself."

Dropping this sentence, Jiang Sinian walked away without looking back.

At this moment, Shen Yuan was still completely baffled, thinking only that Jiang Sinian was in a bad mood today, and didn't think much of it at all.

Furthermore, she was still worrying about Li Xuan's affairs in her heart.

After school, she quietly followed behind Li Xuan, wanting to see what wild man she had found, but discovered that the one Li Xuan had found was still her original father.

Shen Lan was still living on Zhangshu Street; Shen Yuan watched from afar and saw that he seemed to have lost some weight.

She didn't know what Li Xuan had said to him, but his expression became agitated.

"Really?" Shen Lan had originally not wanted to have any more involvement with Li Xuan.

He wanted to find a steady woman to live a good life with, but strangely, he didn't know why, Yan Cuicui had never been able to conceive a child.

It was originally him urging Yan Cuicui to go to the hospital for a checkup, but he hadn't expected that Yan Cuicui was fine; the one with the problem was him.

He, a grown man, was actually infertile!

They were already a remarried couple living together; ever since knowing Shen Lan couldn't have children, Yan Cuicui looked at him with disdain, her words full of contempt.

Now hearing Li Xuan say she had found their biological son, how could Shen Lan not be agitated?

"Where is he?"

"Right here in our Huaiyang," seeing his reaction, Li Xuan felt a bit more comfortable in her heart.

As long as this man had a son in his heart, that was enough. "I've already recognized him. The child's adoptive parents' conditions aren't very good; if you also want to recognize the child, I can help you."

"Really?" After all, Shen Lan had been a husband and wife with her for many years, and he still understood her.

Would Li Xuan be that kind-hearted?

She had always only done bad things.

"Do you have some kind of condition?" Shen Lan said guardedly.

"What condition? What condition could you provide?" Li Xuan said irritably. "We're both at this age; I've long since lost those romantic feelings in my heart, I only hope our son is well."

"You are the child's biological father after all. If you have the heart, provide the child with a better life. What else could I possibly expect from you?"

Li Xuan was telling the truth; although she had no feelings for Shen Lan anymore, they did have a child together after all.

Letting Shen Lan also recognize the son was, for her, pulling one more person into her camp.

In case Shen Dazhuang and Wang Daniu found out later, she wouldn't be left isolated and helpless.

More importantly, it wasn't certain that Shen Yuan would want her to recognize a son and bring him back.

"I am a man," Shen Lan said, hands in his pockets, starting to put on airs again, "you know that I can have as many sons as I want, so don't expect me to shell out too much money!"

Li Xuan rolled her eyes at him, "Heh~ is your pocket cleaner than your face? Emphasizing that you can have sons on purpose? Could it be that you can't have them anymore?"

Shen Lan:...

"You really can't have them anymore?" Li Xuan hadn't expected such good news, "Then hurry up and acknowledge our son with me; when we get old, we'll at least have something to look forward to. If you spend money raising someone else's daughter, she won't take care of you later."

Although these words were harsh, Shen Lan now knew that what Li Xuan said was right.

As a stepfather, the child only gave him a look when he was giving money.

Thus, Shen Lan followed Li Xuan to see Shen Chi.

He was worthy of being his son, just as handsome as he was when he was young!

"Son, I am your biological father!" Shen Lan said.

Shen Chi:...

If there was a biological mother, there would be a biological father; he had long been mentally prepared for this.

As long as it allowed him to live a good life, he would acknowledge a few more parents if they came along.

Shen Lan:...

He had thought he would need to waste a lot of breath, but he hadn't expected his son to be so thick-skinned... no, that wasn't right, his son was just like him, a great man who could bend and stretch, he would surely have a bright future.

"Let's go! Dad is taking you out to eat!"

The family of three sat in a newly opened restaurant.

From afar, Shen Yuan looked up and saw the sign for the private kitchen restaurant.

He was stingy when buying her a dress, but he had the money to treat this thing to a feast!

Do this thing's adoptive parents know?
