Soon enough, Shen Manting realized that the two men had no intention of softening their gaze on her despite her protestations .
A sense of uneasiness crept over Shen Manting . Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable urge to cry .
She puckered her lips and burst into tears .
“You’re lying . I haven’t grown old at all . This isn’t me in the mirror . I’m only 12!”
Shen Zhilie turned to glance at Shen Luo’an and sighed, “This doesn’t seem to be working, Big Brother . ”
Shen Luo’an was equally frustrated . “Go ahead and carry on with your work . Leave her to me . ”
“I’m worried that you won’t be able to handle her . She seems to have no recollection of her life between the ages of 12 and 29 . She has lost 17 years’ worth of memories . ”
“Didn’t you…” Shen Manting was perplexed . She stared at them intently . “Didn’t you say I’m 31?”
“Yes . ” Shen Zhilie looked at her with sympathy in his eyes and continued, “You were hit by a car at the age of 29 . Your limbs were fractured and you sustained severe injuries to your head . You had been in a coma for two years . ”
“W-what?” Shen Manting uttered in disbelief . “So that means I’ve been staying in the hospital for two years? That must have cost a fortune!”
Shen Zhilie was speechless .
He turned around and patted Shen Luo’an on his shoulder . “Be tactful and patient when communicating with her and try to counsel her . I have some work to attend to,” he advised .
“All right . ”
Shen Luo’an turned to face Shen Manting . He looked calmly at her and muttered softly, “You’re my child’s mother, after all . I’m obligated to take care of you . ”
“What?” Shen Manting felt her head spinning . “I’m not even an adult yet, let alone married . How is it possible that I have a son…”
“Well, you’ll have to accept the fact that you have indeed given birth to a child . ” Shen Luo’an walked over to her and poured her a glass of water . “What do you want to eat for dinner?”
Shen Manting straightened her back . “That means you’re my husband . I’m in the mood for a feast . Is that fine with you?”
She called him her husband…
Her acknowledgment of him as her husband took him by surprise and stirred ripples in his heart .
He gazed at her deeply with his amber eyes and whispered softly, “Sure . ”
Shen Manting was elated . She gushed excitedly, “Hubby, I want a feast! A nice meal to dig in with a fork and knife!”
Her bright, innocent eyes were full of expectation and desire .
Shen Luo’an’s heart ached for her . He handed her the glass of water . “Have some water first . ”
“All right!” Shen Manting grabbed the glass of water from him and gulped it down . “Are we going to have a feast now?”
“Not yet . ”
Shen Manting was disappointed and whined, “You have deceived me . So much for calling you my husband . I’m taking it back!”
Shen Luo’an smiled and explained, “You’ve only woken up from a coma . Your body needs time to recover . When you’re feeling better, I’ll take you to eat whatever you want . ”
“Really?” Shen Manting looked at him with eager anticipation . “You’d better keep your word!”
“Yes, I promise,” Shen Luo’an affirmed with a nod . “I’ll bring you nutritious meals from home for the time being . ”
“That’s great!” Shen Manting’s eyes shone .
She was delighted .
She was pleased with his treatment of her .
This “uncle” was not only handsome, but also kind-hearted and had a decent character .
Most importantly, she no longer had to endure the head warden’s scolding and was spared from returning to the orphanage .
Her gaze wandered around the room and finally landed on Shen Luo’an . “Hubby…” she began tentatively, “may I ask you a question?”
She had called him “hubby”…
He was once again caught by surprise .
Shen Luo’an straightened up and answered in a low voice, “Yes . ”
“Seeing that we have had a child together, does that mean we’ve already kissed each other?”
Shen Luo’an did a double take, seemingly astounded by the question .
Shen Manting shrank back and whispered, “I once swore that I would reserve my first kiss for my Prince Charming . ”
