Shen Luo’an hugged her tightly .
Shen Manting wasn’t sure if her mind was playing tricks on her, but she sensed… fear in him .
But wasn’t he a man?
Why would a man be fearful of anything at all?
Shen Manting was perplexed .
She wrapped her arms around him and whispered, “Honey…”
Silence filled the room .
Only the sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom .
Shen Luo’an held her tightly and whispered, “Manting, I love you . ”
His low, deep voice was trembling along with him .
Shen Manting froze when she heard his declaration .
She should be elated .
Yet, for some odd reason, she couldn’t help feeling sad .
Shen Manting felt him hugging her even tighter . She groaned in discomfort and whispered, “You’re holding me too tight, honey . It hurts . ”
Shen Luo’an released her gently .
Shen Manting noticed that Shen Luo’an’s eyes were reddening .
Her heart ached for him and she felt the sorrow in her grow .
Shen Manting pouted her lips and glanced at Shen Luo’an . “What’s the matter with you today, honey?” she asked, concerned .
“I’m fine . ” Shen Luo’an tucked her hair behind her ears and said softly, “I’m very happy . ”
Shen Manting saw his smile and her mood instantly improved .
“I’m glad to see you happy . I’ll do this for you every day,” Shen Manting said with a smile . She laid her hands on her shoulders and stood on tiptoe to kiss him . “I love you, too . ”
She felt her heart flutter with happiness after declaring her love for him .
She rushed out of the room with a smile on her face .
As she was about to turn the doorknob to close the door, she gazed affectionately at him . Then, she turned around, her heart racing .
“I’m in love,” Shen Manting muttered to herself, her face blushing . She felt as though she was floating on air .
Shen Luo’an stood in the bathroom for a long time before turning around to face the bathtub .
The water was filling the bathtub fast . It was nearly full .
“I… I hope to be a loving wife . ”
Shen Luo’an’s heart skipped a beat when he recalled Shen Manting coyly declaring her innocent wish .
All was well .
When he came out of the bath, Shen Manting had already fallen asleep .
He climbed into bed softly and lifted the blanket, circling his arm around her waist .
Shen Manting felt his presence . She snuggled up to him and inhaled deeply, taking in his scent .
Shen Luo’an smiled and soon closed his eyes .
The child woke up early the next morning .
“Daddy!” he cried in a chirpy voice .
Shen Luo’an was jolted awake by the toddler’s cry .
Shen Yuexiao was standing on the edge of his child-sized bed, leaning on the railing . He looked at Shen Luo’an with pleading eyes and uttered, “I want to pee . ”
Shen Luo’an turned to glance at Shen Manting . She was still sleeping, yet a smile was playing on her lips . She must be having a pleasant dream .
Shen Luo’an got up from the bed quietly . He picked up his son and walked into the bathroom .
After the child had finished relieving himself, Shen Luo’an helped him to brush his teeth, wash his face, and change into a fresh set of clothes . Shen Manting woke up just as he had groomed his son for the day .
When she got up, she was shocked to see that both father and son were already dressed up .
She checked the time . It was already half past seven .
She climbed out of bed hurriedly and said, “I overslept, honey . Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“There isn’t much to do anyway . Go back to sleep if you’re still tired . ” Shen Luo’an walked over to her with the toddler in his arms . “Greet Mommy . ”
“Mommy!” The young tot approached Shen Manting with outstretched arms . “I want a hug!”
Shen Manting carried the child in her arms . She said apologetically, “I thought of helping you shave and fasten your tie, but now I won’t be able to do it today . ”
Shen Luo’an looked at her tenderly . He tilted her face to him and kissed her .
Shen Manting was startled and immediately clasped her hand over her mouth covered her mouth . She looked at Shen Luo’an in surprise, blushing . Then, she murmured, “I haven’t brushed my teeth…”
