It took less than three days to move into a new home.
The place wasnât big, but it was much quieter.
It had three bedrooms and two living halls. The decor was all in cool colors, revealing his taste and masculinity.
Shen Manting walked in and immediately started arranging the clothing in the cloakroom which was connected to the master bedroom.
The clothing consisted of both Shen Luoâanâs and hers.
Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie had also moved in with them, for Ye Qianqian to provide Shen Manting with some company as well as to keep an eye on her.
Shen Zhilie had been Shen Mantingâs doctor throughout the entire ordeal and no one had any intention of changing that. However, Luo Ran dropped by every now and then for a second opinion.
Shen Manting had finished arranging the clothes and was in the midst of making the bed when she heard the door outside the room open.
Shen Luoâan had returned.
Strangely, Shen Manting felt a sense of contentment.
It was as if she were truly a normal wife waiting for her husband to return home.
The feeling was delightful and it made her happy.
Upon hearing the rustling of plastic bags outside, Shen Manting straightened the sheets and walked out.
Shen Luoâan was in the midst of washing rice for dinner, and when he saw her emerge, he asked, âAre you done?â
âNot at all,â Shen Manting walked over and glanced at the ingredients he had bought. âThere are still some things left to pack, but those can be left till later.â
Shen Manting took out the fresh produce from the bags and laid them in the sink as she sorted through them slowly.
Shen Luoâan saw the smile on her lips and his spirits rose. âAre you very happy today?â he asked.
The smile quickly disappeared from Shen Mantingâs face as she replied, âIâm okay, I guess.â
Shen Luoâan did not reply. Instead, he placed the rice inside the new rice-cooker, and asked another question, âIs it because youâve moved to a new place?â
Shen Manting couldnât contain the smile any longer, and replied, âYeah, thatâs part of the reason.â
He stopped probing after hearing this and helped her in sorting through the ingredients.
Shen Mantingâs current mood is the best one she has been in so far.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her lips turned up into a smile on their own accord again as she casually asked, âWhen will Zhilie and Qianqian be moving over?â
âTomorrow, I guess. I have to go to the lab tomorrow too. Laowu is unable to manage on his own,â Shen Luoâan voice was lighthearted as he continued, âI have plenty of work waiting for me in the office.â
âOh. Will Qianqian be here tomorrow?â
âYeah.â Shen Manting turned to face him and asked, âSo, when will you be coming back?â
Shen Luoâan was visibly surprised by her question.
He was stunned for a long moment before his face broke out into a smile as he replied, âIâll be back as soon as Iâm done.â
Shen Manting looked way, a blush tainted her cheeks. Feigning unhappiness, she replied, âYou might as well not have answered.â
âIâll be back very soon. It shouldnât be anything important. An afternoon should be more than enough.â Shen Luoâan then leaned over, slowly before calling out to her, âManting.â
âYeah?â Shen Manting was washing some vegetables and replied while looking down.
âRaise your head.â
Upon hearing that, Shen Manting looked up subconsciously.
Shen Luoâanâs lips curled in a smile and he lowered his head to kiss her lips gently.
Shen Mantingâs smile widened even more, but she didnât say a word. After washing the vegetables, she proceeded to prepare the other ingredients.
For his own peace of mind, Shen Luoâan chased her out of the kitchen once she was done with the preparation.
He took charge of the kitchen and cooked on his own.
Back in the other home, Nanny He was the one who took care of everyoneâs meals. Since young, Shen Luoâan never had to worry about his clothes or food and so, he never had much chance to enter the kitchen.
Everything he knew about cooking was what he had learned from simply observing Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian in the kitchen.
The taste of his food certainly couldnât compare with Shen Zhilieâs home-cooked food but it wasnât too bad based on its own merits and it was definitely palatable, at the very least.
When he was done with the last dish, he brought it to the table.
Just as Shen Luoâan removed his apron, he heard a loud crash coming from inside...
