In the kitchen, the table was covered with wrapped dumplings, which had been there for a while and were already a bit dry.
Shen Yan and Yin Quan said nothing, and tacitly worked together, one tending the fire and the other washing the pot, as if they had done this kind of cooperative work countless times before.
They didn't know what kind of fillings they were, so they just grabbed whatever they could find.
Shen Yan only spoke after the dumplings were put into the pot.
"How come Hehe is living in your house? What's your relationship with her?"
"Tsk. Are you interrogating me like a criminal?"
"Say it!"
"Okay, okay, here's the thing..."
Yin Quan briefly recounted how Ruan Tinghe had saved Yin Ze at the airport.
"Grandma arranged for them to stay, so what? Judging from your attitude towards her, is she really one of your women outside?" Yin Quan, who was usually cold and indifferent, suddenly spoke sarcastically.
"No," Shen Yan denied, pointing to his heart. "It's the person I love."
"Ugh!" Yin Quan made a vomiting gesture in disgust. "You're disgusting!"
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow. It was all because he had spent too much time with thugs and had picked up some glib talk.
However, what he said was the truth; Ruan Tinghe was indeed the woman he loved.
"What about the one at your house?"
"I'll kick her out. She's a liar." Shen Yan's face darkened. He was worried when he thought of Ruan Jiaojiao and her son. In just four years, Ruan Jiaojiao had managed to take root in the Shen family.
"That's a bit difficult. Ruan Jiaojiao saved your mother's life. Just for that life-saving grace, you can't get rid of her..."
Yin Quan briefly recounted the life-saving incident to Shen Yan. It turned out that four years ago, shortly after Shen Yan disappeared, Qiao Xiaqing and the heavily pregnant Ruan Jiaojiao were surrounded and robbed by thugs. In order to protect Qiao Xiaqing, Ruan Jiaojiao was slashed with a knife by the thugs and almost miscarried.
"Would she be that kind?" Shen Yan scoffed, not believing it at all.
Yin Quan asked curiously, "You suspect that Ruan Jiaojiao fabricated this story?"
"She's not as simple as she seems. I'll investigate this matter thoroughly." In any case, Shen Yan absolutely did not believe that Ruan Jiaojiao was the kind of good person who would risk her life to save someone.
If she were truly that kind, she wouldn't have come to the family compound with a pregnant belly to commit marriage fraud.
"That child really isn't yours?" Yin Quan asked again. It wasn't that he didn't believe Shen Yan, but in the past four years, everyone had accepted that the child was Shen Yan's. Shen Yan's sudden clarification that it wasn't was something no one could accept quickly.
Shen Yan gave him a cold look. "Are we still brothers? Don't you believe me?"
"It's no use even if I believe you. Do you think your family, or the people in the residential compound, would believe you? You probably don't know how many people Ruan Jiaojiao has won over in the compound over the past four years, do you?"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that no one objected to what you said in the security office just now. Who knows what they were really thinking? You see, nobody will believe you."
Shen Yan was also in a bind. He had already made it clear in public, but what could he do if people still didn't believe him?
"What's your plan?"
Paternity test.
Shen Yan looked puzzled: "How do we determine this?"
He has little knowledge of medicine, but he can treat wounds entirely because he has become a doctor through long-term illness.
"It involves comparing your blood type, HLA, and multiple marker combinations with Shen Yaozu to screen for paternity..." (ps: I did a search, and at this time there were no DNA paternity testing methods; it was still the stage dominated by genetic serum. If I wrote it wrong, please help me point it out, thank you.)
"stop!"
Shen Yan quickly gestured for a pause. "Dr. Yin, do you think I can understand your medical jargon?"
Yin Quan shrugged: "Anyway, it's very troublesome, and not just anyone can do it; there's a very complicated application process."
"Then why did you say that?" Shen Yan wanted to hit someone.
"I have a way to help you, but what benefit would I get from doing it?"
"You're trying to negotiate with me?"
Even close brothers should keep clear accounts.
"Fine!" Shen Yan gritted his teeth. "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"
"I want to marry your sister."
Upon hearing this, both of them fell silent. Shen Yan's expression was solemn. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say those words.
"I will find her." Yin Quan said, as if to himself, or as if to Shen Yan.
"Yes." Shen Yan nodded firmly.
The two stopped talking and silently started scooping up the dumplings.
Once the dumplings are cooked, you can roughly tell what kind of filling they have.
The ones that are bluish-black are filled with chives, the ones that are white are filled with cabbage, and the ones that are a bit red and clearly show the shape of shrimp on the dumpling skin are filled with shrimp and pork.
Scoop them all out and plate them separately.
Yin Quan was worried about his grandmother and younger brother in the hospital, so he quickly ate a few dumplings and packed them up to take to the hospital to eat together.
Ruan Tinghe wanted to go to the hospital to see Aze, but Yin Quan and Shen Yan stopped her.
Let her stay home to recover from her injuries.
After the children had eaten and drunk their fill, their fear and the comfort of being back in their seats quickly made them sleepy and they fell asleep on the sofa.
Ruan Tinghe wanted to carry them upstairs, but her legs wouldn't cooperate. She could barely climb the stairs herself, let alone carry the children.
She glared fiercely at Shen Yan with her almond-shaped eyes: "Aren't you leaving yet? My child and I want to take an afternoon nap!"
She thought to herself, "I hope this person leaves quickly, so I'll have a chance to get a blanket from my spatial storage and cover the child with it."
Shen Yan lay back on the chair with his legs crossed. "I want to take an afternoon nap too."
"Then go back to your own home and sleep."
As Ruan Tinghe spoke, she reached out to push him, but Shen Yan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Ruan Tinghe was caught off guard and fell into his arms, her waist and back wrapped around the man's strong arms.
"Let go of me!" Ruan Tinghe tried to break free by supporting herself with her hands, but accidentally touched something she shouldn't have.
She pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.
She stared at the man in terror, her face flushed crimson, her voice trembling: "You…"
Shen Yan wasn't much better off. He just wanted to hug her, but he didn't expect her to control his weak point...
"Don't move!"
His voice was hoarse and his breathing was rapid, but he didn't loosen his arms around her waist. Instead, he rolled over and imprisoned her on the sofa.
Ruan Tinghe subconsciously closed her eyes, but the man suddenly let go of her, turned around, picked up a child in each arm, and strode upstairs.
He walked quickly, as if he was in a hurry.
In just two or three minutes, he had carried all three children up.
"Thank you, I'm going upstairs to rest too!" Seeing him come back, Ruan Tinghe blushed and hopped on one leg to run away.
Shen Yan wasn't about to let her go. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, his waist tightening around her...
"Ah~"
She gasped softly, the weightlessness of being lifted off the ground startling her so much that she wrapped her legs around the man's waist, her arms tightly around his neck, her slender fingers gripping the back of his collar.
She was held in his arms like a child, clinging to him.
This position immediately reminded her of that night.
My heart is racing.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Yan didn't say anything, but carried her upstairs. He was very fast. Ruan Tinghe was afraid of falling, so she could only hold him tightly and bury her head in his neck.
The wet, teasing touch on her earlobe sent a shiver down Ruan Tinghe's spine. She looked up, wanting to curse.
But he was pinned against the stairwell wall, and a domineering kiss came his way...
