After Shen Bai and her husband left, Bei Shuo walked to Shen Suâs side and poked her.
Shen Su rolled her eyes at her.
Bei Shuo sat down beside her and asked curiously, âWhy is it so complicated? I thought you were just casually dating. I was worried that you would be hurt by love!â
Shen Su let out a long sigh. âDo you think itâs so easy to be in a rich family? The people around you are very scheming. If youâre not as scheming as them, youâll fall into a pit dug by someone for you at any time. Think about it, even an innocent person like you will remind me of Mu Enâs problem. How can I not be careful?â
âBut you clearly saidââ
âYes, I admit that I was touched by him for a period of time.â Shen Su interrupted Bei Shuo.
Her gaze was unfocused as she sighed softly again. âOur family backgrounds match. Heâs considered outstanding. In all aspects, heâs the best candidate. If he treats me wholeheartedly from now on, I wonât even ask him to treat me as well as Brother-in-law treats Sister. As long as heâs loyal to our marriage, I can marry him and live with him for the rest of my life. But he canât betray me and to have a foot in both camps. Thatâs my bottom line.â
âShen Su, do you like him? Do you love him?â Bei Shuo frowned slightly and asked the most important question.

Shen Suâs gaze landed on Bei Shuoâs face. âThen do you love Mu Ci? Does Mu Ci love you?â
âYes!â Bei Shuo replied firmly.
âWhat do you mean by love? Do you understand it?â Shen Su looked at Bei Shuo with disdain.
Bei Shuo met her gaze and said frankly, âOf course I understand. Just like Brother Mu Ci and I, Sister Shen Bai and Brother-in-law, weâll be happy when weâre together. Weâll miss each other when weâre not together. Well think about each other all the time. As long as heâs good, Iâll be good!â
Bei Shuoâs self-righteousness finally suppressed Shen Suâs arrogance. However, she was very indignant. âMy sister already has Brother-in-lawâs children. When are you going to give birth to Mu Ciâs child?â
She had to admit that she was trying to find something to say. She was twisting her words because she didnât want Bei Shuo to be smug.
However, Bei Shuo was stunned. She thought about it seriously before saying, âI can discuss this with Brother Stone. If we have a baby, the house will be lively. I like children!â
Shen Su covered her forehead with her hand and wailed, âGet lost, Bei Shuo! Get lost! Iâm in deep trouble here, but youâre showing off your love! Weâre no longer friends!â
Bei Shuo bent over in laughter.
When Bei Shuo reached home and realized that Mu Ci and Luo Bing were at home, she couldnât help but be happy. âSecond Senior Brother, why are you here? I havenât seen you for many days!â
Bei Shuo was overjoyed.
A rare smile appeared on Luo Bingâs face. âIâve been on a business trip recently.
I came back today to see you.â
Bei Shuo glanced at Mu Ci, who was sitting on a soft chair, with disdain. âYouâre doing me a favor again. Youâre clearly here to see Brother Stone. If I hadnât come back, would you have planned to leave?â
Luo Bing smiled without saying anything. He reached out and touched her head.
She grabbed Luo Bingâs arm. âIf you really came to see me, why donât you stay for dinner? Iâll make your favorite dishes!â
Mu Ci coughed. âItâs been a long time since you personally cooked for me!â
Luo Bing raised his eyebrows. âOh? Then Iâll stay and wait for Little Junior Sister to make delicious food for me!â
Bei Shuo nodded happily. She also took into account Mu Ciâs jealousy. âIâm cooking for Brother Stone too. Wait for me. Iâll go prepare it now!â
She stuffed her bag into Mu Ciâs lap and turned to run. As she ran, she shouted, âXiaoling, Xiaobai, come and help!â
Mu Ci and Luo Bing shook their heads and smiled at the same time.
âIâm relieved to see her like this,â said Luo Bing softly.
Mu Ciâs smile faded. It had been a long time since Bei Shuo had been so happy. With his mother around, she had always restrained herself.
Mu Ci slowly felt guilty.
Bei Shuoâs joy ended the moment she saw Duan Si.
As Bei Shuo greeted Duan Si, she blamed herself for being too forgetful. She was so happy to see her senior brother that she forgot that Madam Mu was at home. Great, she was going to be taught a lesson again.
Unexpectedly, Duan Si did not flare up when she saw her. She only asked calmly, âI heard that the Shen Familyâs Eldest Young Master is here?â
Bei Shuo nodded. âSenior Brother said that he would stay for dinner..â
