After becoming financially free, they offered their loyalty

Jinxiu Garden residential community.

The warm winter sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the human infant in the cradle wiggled its small body, its curious eyes blinking as it observed the world.

Chen Xinyu held a rattle drum and shook it: "Xiao Shuang, Xiao Shuang, Auntie is here, look here~"

Standing beside her was Chen Na, gazing at the baby in the cradle with a gentle look in her eyes.

Having just given birth, her almond-shaped eyes showed a hint of fatigue, while her pupils shimmered with a tenderness unique to young women. Her low ponytail was tied up with a silk scarf, draped limply over her slender shoulders.

Her gentle and charming demeanor in every smile and frown is completely different from what it was a year ago.

Chen Xinyu glanced at her sister, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. This must be the kind of temperament her brother-in-law wanted.

Unfortunately, I'm too young and haven't had children yet, so I can't reach that state.
Chen Xinyu's disappointment was fleeting, and her attention was quickly drawn to the cub in the cradle. She said, "The nose and mouth look like my brother-in-law's, and the eyes look like my sister's."

Chen Na smiled and said, "It's too early to tell now. We might not be able to tell who she'll look like until she's two or three years old."

"My brother-in-law is handsome, and my sister is beautiful. No matter who Shuangshuang resembles in the future, she'll be a little beauty."

While the two sisters were chatting, the living room door was pushed open, and Chen Yongxiang and Yu Shufen walked in carrying groceries.

As Old Chen changed his shoes, he said, "I saw Shen Yuan's car on my way back."

Chen Xinyu's heart skipped a beat.

She knew her brother-in-law was with Liu Menglu today.

Chen Yongxiang added, "There are more and more rich people now, buying cars worth over 300 million yuan without a second thought."

Chen Xinyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What time will Shen Yuan arrive tomorrow? Your dad and I need to prepare the food in advance. We don't know if there will be traffic on the way."

As Yu Shufen walked inside, she kept saying, "Shen Yuan is a thoughtful child. He knows that Nana doesn't like visiting relatives, so he didn't let you spend the New Year there. In fact, he came here on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. He probably hasn't finished visiting all his relatives there yet. Xinyu, when you look for a partner in the future, you should look for someone like your brother-in-law."

Chen Na was speechless. Shen Yuan didn't mean to stop her from visiting relatives; he simply didn't want to disrupt the "balance."

If she spends the New Year at Shen Yuan's house, Liu Menglu will definitely find out. Once Liu Menglu finds out, the other girls will find out too, and they will all have negative feelings about it.

Why can you spend the New Year at Shen Yuan's house, but we can't?
Everything should be done with the oranges as the priority.

Chen Xinyu looked ashamed and said, "Don't even mention finding a boyfriend or brother-in-law. My current boyfriend is my brother-in-law."

Dongming Residential Area.

Shen Yuan was chatting on the phone with his classmate on the balcony, while Liu Menglu was washing vegetables for Fang Lizhen in the kitchen.

Fang Lizhen glanced back at Shen Yuan on the balcony, her brow furrowing slightly: "Who are you talking to on the phone for so long? It's not Nana, is it?"

Liu Menglu shook her head: "I don't know."

She didn't know who it was, but it definitely wasn't Nana, because Nana wasn't very talkative and wasn't the type to cling to someone on the phone.

It wouldn't be Long Jinghan and Qiao Lei from the Puyue Bay team either, because I was just chatting with them in the group chat.

It must be some nameless little slut!

Liu Menglu didn't want Fang Lizhen to worry, so she kept a blank expression, revealing no emotion.

Fang Lizhen said with a slight dissatisfaction, "Nana is not as good as you. You're not even pregnant yet, how come she's already having a baby?"

Liu Menglu frowned slightly: "Alright, Mom, stop talking."

Fang Lizhen chopped the vegetables with a bit more force: "She's nowhere near as sensible and considerate as you, nowhere near as good-looking as you, and if you ask me, she's not even as pretty as you. Besides..."

"Mom, stop talking."

Liu Menglu's tone was already displeased.

"Okay, I won't say anymore. Anyway, my daughter is the best."

Liu Menglu remained silent.

She can say bad things about Nana, but when she hears her mother or other people say it, she feels uncomfortable.

Liu Menglu will never forget Peng Jiajia, but she will never forget Chen Na either. She brought her breakfast every day during her student days, spoke up for her when rumors were spread about her, and always stood in front of her to protect her.

Perhaps we can never go back to the way things were, but deep down she probably still considers me a sister.
Liu Menglu glanced wistfully out the window, lost in thought.

After dinner, Liu Menglu nestled in Shen Yuan's arms watching TV when she received another message from Hou Qianqian.

"Menglu, I left my phone charger at your house. I'll come and get it later."

Shen Yuan glanced at the chat and thought to himself that Qianqian was very persistent.

If once doesn't work, try twice; if twice doesn't work, try three times, right?

Liu Menglu pursed her red lips: "Honey, what do you suggest we say?"

"Reply however you want."

Liu Menglu pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she replied, "Then you can take it."

Then, she whispered a few words to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan's eyelids twitched: "Playing this kind of thing?"

Liu Menglu smiled and said, "So, want to play?"

After half an hour.

Hou Qianqian entered Liu Menglu's bedroom, saw her charger on the bedside table, put it in her bag, and then looked around: "Where's Shen Yuan?"

Liu Menglu sat on the bed, her plump legs crossed, and said, "I went to Nana's place."

"Oh, so you don't keep them overnight?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Hou Qianqian's eyes.

"Maybe he misses Nana. It's nothing serious."

Liu Menglu patted her large bed: "Qianqian, why don't you sleep here tonight?"

Hou Qianqian spoke up indignantly, "Shen Yuanlai has already come all this way, yet he's not staying overnight. It feels like he's not taking you seriously at all."

Liu Menglu smiled. Hou Qianqian wasn't trying to defend herself; she was just annoyed that she had come all this way for nothing.

I spent an hour getting ready, changed my clothes, and then went to the wrong place.

How can I not feel annoyed?
“I don’t mind, why should you? Sit down.”

Liu Menglu patted the large bed again.

Hou Qianqian put down her bag, sat down with a bitter expression, and turned her head to see Liu Menglu looking at her teasingly.

"What's wrong, is there something on my face?"

"No, it's just that you look especially beautiful tonight."

"You're talking strangely today."

Hou Qianqian felt somewhat confused.

"no."

Liu Menglu gently took off her close-fitting sweater, revealing a white, tight-fitting thermal undershirt underneath, then lay down in bed and said, "Qianqian, go to sleep early."

"So early? It's only 9 o'clock."

"I went shopping with Shen Yuan today, and I'm tired." "Okay."

The room was heated by the air conditioning, and Hou Qianqian took off her sweater and coat.

Inside was a pink dress with a low neckline, revealing a large area of ​​her fair skin.

It's actually quite cold to wear this outdoors in winter, but it's all for Shen Yuan's sake!
This was the second outfit she had prepared for Shen Yuan. She had even curled her hair and changed her makeup, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Actually, Qianqian is quite good-looking and has never used any high-tech gadgets, but she's just a level below Liu Menglu and Chen Na.

It's like putting a Porsche, a Bentley, and a BMW together. Actually, the BMW is already very nice, but because of the Bentley and Porsche, the BMW naturally receives less attention.

Green leaves are green leaves because they are green leaves in front of red flowers, but they can also become dazzling red flowers in front of other green leaves.

With a sly expression, Liu Menglu asked instead of answering, "Qianqian, you broke up with your boyfriend, right?"

"They broke up a long time ago."

At this point, Hou Qianqian sighed: "Do you know how much it hurt me to see Shen Yuan with you and Nana? During that time, I couldn't stand anything about him."

"And now? Would you want to get back together with him?"

"How can it be!"

Hou Qianqian said righteously, "He contacted me a while ago, but I ignored him. Menglu, to be honest, I can't go back to the way things were."

"What if Shen Yuan doesn't respond at all?"
-
The next day.

Liu Menglu helped Shen Yuan pack his things and went downstairs. When Shen Yuan got into the driver's seat, Liu Menglu handed him a delicate shopping bag.

"What is this?" Shen Yuan asked.

"For Xiaoshuangshuang, there's a white noise seahorse and some cloth books she can chew on."

Shen Yuan smiled wryly and took the shopping bag: "Then I'm leaving."

"Well, let's go."

"."

Liu Menglu returned to her room upstairs. Hou Qianqian was still snuggled in bed, peeking out half her head: "Shen Yuan is gone?"

"Yeah, I went to Nana's place."

"About last night."

"What's wrong, not used to it?" Liu Menglu teased with a smile.

"What do you think? This, this too."

Hou Qianqian couldn't bring herself to say the words "wasteland silver," as they had greatly impacted her worldview.

Liu Menglu thought to herself, what's so special about playing cards? Before, her Puyue Bay team even played mahjong with Shen Yuan.

If she were really to fight Shen Yuan one-on-one, to be honest, she really wouldn't be able to withstand it.

She felt that there were too many people at a mahjong game, but playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) was just right.

Last night, Qianqian, as one of the farmers, greatly helped relieve her pressure during the game.

Hou Qianqian murmured, "So this is the kind of life you guys usually lead. You should have told me sooner that you eat so well."

She struggled to sit up in bed, gasped, dressed, and did her hair and makeup. Then she asked, "Where's Auntie? Has she left?"

"She went to buy groceries."

Hou Qianqian quickened her pace, rapidly packing her things to leave. Just before leaving, she said, "Menglu, in that case, I..."

"We'll see how you perform after that."

Hou Qianqian bit her lip: "Menglu, anyway, thank you."

"No need to thank me."

Liu Menglu opened the bedside table drawer again, a playful smile on her face: "How about you stay a little longer?"

Hou Qianqian limped away in a panic.

Shen Yuan drove to Jinxiu Garden.

Shen Yuan also helped buy this house. The renovation was completed last year, and Lao Chen and Yu Shufen have been living in it for half a year.

Chen Na and Chen Xinyu were waiting downstairs with the stroller. When they saw Shen Yuan appear carrying shopping bags of various sizes, they both smiled.

"Shen Yuan."

"Brother-in-law~"

Chen Xinyu warmly accepted the shopping bag.

The family of four walked harmoniously into the building's elevator.

Chen Xinyu took the bags from Shen Yuan's hands and bent down to tease the soft, chubby little Shuangshuang: "Shuangshuang, don't you recognize Daddy? Daddy's here to see you!"

When talking to children, I always find myself unconsciously changing my tone of voice.

Little Shuangshuang blinked her big eyes curiously, seemingly still confused.

Watching this heartwarming scene, Chen Xinyu inexplicably thought about what it would be like if she and her brother-in-law had a child.
He then quickly shook his head.

dare not think, dare not think.

After teasing them for a while, before the elevator even reached their floor, Shen Yuan simply put his arms around their waists, one on each side.

Chen Na remained calm, while Chen Xinyu shifted uncomfortably, her cheeks flushing slightly, but she didn't utter a sound.

In Shen Yuan's view, Nana is currently breastfeeding, and her breasts are quite large.

And Xinyu's greatness needs no further explanation.

Tonight is destined to be another extraordinary night, Shen Yuan thought to himself.

As soon as the elevator doors reached the floor, Chen Xinyu shyly reminded him, "Brother-in-law, Mom and Dad are waiting at the door."

Shen Yuan smiled and withdrew his left hand, then put his right arm around Chen Na as they walked out of the elevator.

As soon as they came out, they were warmly received by Lao Chen and Yu Shufen.

"Shen Yuan is here."

"You bought so much stuff!"

"You must be tired from driving, come in and have a seat."

At the same time, Chen Xinyu put the shopping bag inside and started getting slippers for Shen Yuan. She had developed muscle memory for this; when her sister was pregnant and inconvenient in Xingcheng, she was the one who did these things.

However, after only getting half of it, he realized that he was doing this in front of his parents, and his movements subconsciously paused.

Not daring to look at her parents' expressions, she forced herself to put down her slippers.

Chen Na, while looking at the gifts, changed the subject, saying, "Shen Yuan, did you buy this for Xiao Shuang?"

She was holding a white noise seahorse.

Shen Yuan said, "It was a gift from a friend, so I brought it with me."

Upon seeing the exquisite packaging and feeling the texture of the little seahorse, Chen Na could roughly tell who made it. (End of Chapter)
