Chapter 100 You Should Still Be a Wildflower
Chapter 100 You Should Still Be a Wildflower
Some things happen unexpectedly.
Shen Qi's investigation revealed that Shen Xi was already divorced, but he couldn't understand why she would get entangled with the Jiang family again.
He really couldn't understand it, so he humbly asked for advice on how to conduct a first ceremony with his wife.
Chu Li was also stunned when she first heard it. Wasn't that Xiao Xi's own child?
Shen Qi, with his hands behind his back, huffed and puffed, "That's not her biological child. It's the child of that brat from the Jiang family, who I don't know who had it with. In the end, she definitely couldn't stand living with him and ran away."
Is that so?
Although Chu Li asked the question aloud, she was still somewhat puzzled. She felt that the child's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Shen Xi's, especially the little boy's eyes, which were almost identical.
But she hoped it wasn't.
She didn't want her daughter to go through so much hardship, to get married, have children, get divorced, and have to start all over again. Who could say what would happen in the future?
Chu Li hesitated for a moment, just about to say something.
The sound of rushing footsteps could be heard outside the open door.
"Mom, Mom, where are you?"
Shen Ke, with his white hair, took three steps at a time, tugging at his cumbersome black tie as he went.
The couple sat and stood, with Shen Qi standing next to Chu Li. As the noisy Shen Ke entered, his gentle expression vanished in an instant, replaced by a stern face and an imposing aura emanating from him, his voice becoming much deeper.
What are you shouting about?
Hearing the noise, Shen Ke pushed open the door and entered. The moment he saw Chu Li, the tall young man, over six feet tall, stared blankly, letting out a pitiful scream. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought something terrible had happened.
"Mom, Mom, you're finally back. I'm so guilty. I've been busy with that unprofitable company all day long and haven't paid any attention to my dear mother."
Shen Ke was quite imposing, and her attitude in admitting her mistake was very proactive. She decisively lifted the hem of her clothes, and with a 'thud,' the floor made a dull sound.
He knelt down straight down, head drooping, looking dejected.
"Hmm? Why are you kneeling? I don't have any red envelopes for you today." Chu Li smiled gently and patted her son's head, teasingly.
Shen Ke slid down his knees and slowly approached Chu Li, resting his head on his mother's lap and hugging her thigh. Tears streamed down his face, soaking the floor.
His mother... didn't blame him at all.
Shen Qi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he watched, finally settling on Shen Ke's unsightly white, chicken-like hair as she nestled against Chu Li's lap. He squeezed his wrist, strode forward, and grabbed Shen Ke by the collar.
"What kind of behavior is this, for a grown man!"
Chu Li looked at him with amusement. "I'm not angry. Young people have their own things to do and don't need to be tied to their parents. Everyone has their own life. I just wanted to go out and relax, to see a different kind of life outside."
"Besides, I'm not seventy or eighty years old. It's not your place to rush to see me. Your dad must have scared you with something."
Finally, Chu Li said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Shen Ke let out a "woof," her tears flowing even more freely, and she felt even more ashamed.
As he wiped away his tears, he wanted to ask about his biological sister, but looking into Chu Li's gentle and calm eyes, Shen Ke hesitated for a long time before finally remaining silent.
In the end, he didn't ask, and Chu Li didn't speak either.

"If you want my love, He gotta do what he does~" 1
Shen Xi hummed a song as she walked along, carrying a small pink and blue bag in her left hand and holding the hand of a well-behaved and adorable little boy in her right.
Butler Li was watering the flowerbed when he heard the sound and saw the young mistress return. He immediately put down the watering can, wiped his hands, and went over.
Shen Xi saw this, smiled, shook her head, and gently shook the exquisitely packaged little bag in her hand.
"Uncle Li, you don't need to help me carry it. I can carry it myself. You go about your business."
"Ok."
Upon hearing this, Butler Li immediately understood and retreated to the sidelines to carefully water the precious and beautiful roses.
Xiao Jiangdu's tiny fingers were also hooked onto a bag, but it was black. He kept looking at it, afraid that the contents would fall out.
Shen Xi stepped through the door with her child and saw Jiang Ci sitting upright on the long sofa, holding a stack of papers in his hand, looking at them with a frown.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until four or five o'clock today? Did your project end early?"
Shen Xi didn't expect him to return so early.
When Xiao Jiangdu saw his father, he greeted him obediently.
"Dad~"
"There was a slight accident today, but nothing serious, so I came back a little early."
Jiang Ci put down the words in his hand, smoothly and naturally picked up a Nature magazine and covered it. He patted his son's head and saw that both mother and son were carrying a small bag.
He walked over and asked, "What did you buy?"
Shen Xi didn't notice his closing the book, and blinked, smiling mischievously, "Guess what's inside?"
Xiao Jiangdu stared intently at his father, curious whether he could guess the answer.
He discreetly checked his clothes; they were brand new and spotless.
The man circled Shen Xi, then bent slightly closer to her, his nose twitching as he sniffed. A cold glint flashed in his narrow eyes, and his voice was dangerous.
"I can roughly guess it."
Shen Xi was taken aback. Was it that easy to guess?
What is it?
Jiang Ci snorted coldly and said loudly, "It smells like some wildflower outside."
Shen Xi looked bewildered. Wildflowers? What wildflowers?
Jiang Ci spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone neither sarcastic nor friendly.
"Which shameless man has managed to get his T brand men's cologne on you?"
Little Jiangdu secretly snuggled closer to his mother, pressed his little face against hers, sniffed for a long time, and looked puzzled.
Mom doesn't smell of any other perfume.
Shen Xi sniffed left and right, but the scent seemed to have been on her for a long time, and neither of them could smell it anymore.
"What makes your nose so sensitive? I can't smell anything."
"It's probably... a wolf's nose."
Jiang Ci spoke casually, hooking his little finger around the bag that Shen Xi was holding, and gently lifting it up.
"Xixi, have you ever heard this saying?"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Ci's tone was casual, with a half-smile.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "The flowers in the garden are never as fragrant as the wild ones."
Xiao Jiangdu sighed calmly.
What should we do?
His father seems to have fallen into a vat of vinegar.
Shen Xi's eyes flickered, and she nodded earnestly before speaking.
"That old saying is true, I..."
Jiang Ci's lip line was straightened, making it impossible for her to even force a smile.
"What?"
"I... still think you smell better."
"Why don't you just be a wildflower? I think you have a real talent for it."
Hehe, normal relationships are certainly healthy, but abnormal relationships are truly fascinating.
