CH 33

On the day his grandmother was discharged from the hospital, Cheng Zimei also came to help. Shen Dai didn’t have many friends, so he just called her to tell her that they will be going home today to celebrate grandmother’s discharge and to do house warming.

In the past two months, Shen Dai squeezed out all of his spare time to decorate the new house. From the sofa to the  refrigerator to the small paper boxes, all of which were carefully selected by him. He decorated it according to the colours and styles of their previous home. A warm and beautiful home.

His grandmother had come here only once when it was being renovated. She couldn’t hide her excitement and surprise as soon as she entered the house. She walked all over from room to room. When she saw the silk bedding in her bedroom, she carefully sat down and gently moved with her hands to caress the silky and warm satin.

This set of bedding was bought before the accident at home. In Shen Dai’s impression, it was very expensive. It seemed to cost several thousand dollars. The concept of consumption instilled in him by his grandmother and grandfather since he was a child was to buy high-quality things. Good quality things do not necessarily come from famous brands. It is also not necessarily expensive. But it must have a good sense of use and safety, making life healthier and more comfortable. So there are no luxury cars or luxury goods at home, but once in a while, he will buy three hundred yuan of towels or a thousand-dollar worth of mahogany chopsticks.

What puzzled Shen Dai was that with the same set of education methods and a similar outlook on money, Shen Qin seemed to be ignorant of the sufferings of the world. He spent money without planning and was reckless of the consequences. He did this while he was sober, And it may be because in his subconscious, since he was a child, he has resisted becoming a person like Shen Qin, so he used all the words and deeds of this person as a negative teaching material. Back then, he refused to listen to Shen Qin to study the art major of “Better Marry a Rich Man”. He went to study materials science and even his grandmother and grandfather didn’t quite understand it.

“Ah Dai, you are very thoughtful.” Grandma sighed: “This set is made of pure silk and the material is very good. After moving to that apartment, I was not willing to take it out once.”

“I know you don’t want to use it in the rented house. Now, this is our own house. We can use some good things that were left from the past.”

“I’m so happy. I think life is finally getting better.” Grandma looked at Shen Dai with tears in her eyes, “The debt is paid off. My surgery is done. Your job is going well. You have a house. And even your father had returned to admit that he was wrong. Everything is getting better and better, don’t you think so?”

If it wasn’t for Shen Qin’s sudden return, Shen Dai would have the same idea as his grandmother. But he was full of precautions and distrust of Shen Qin, for fear that his life that finally turned around would be ruined again. But at this time, how could he say no? He didn’t have the heart to disappoint his grandmother. Of course, he also hoped that everything would get better and better.

At this time, Shen Qin called him from the living room.

Shen Dai walked over. Shen Qin frowned and asked, “Ah Dai, are there only two rooms here? Where do I sleep?”

“This house is small.” Shen Dai pointed to the sofa in the living room, “That’s a sofa bed. You can sleep here at night and put it away during the day.”

Shen Qin’s face changed immediately: “You let your dad sleep on the sofa?”

“I didn’t think that there would be a third person in the family when I rent it.” Shen Dai said indifferently, “Just make do for now.”

“Can’t we change to a bigger house? This is the living room…” Shen Qin said aggrievedly, “How can I sleep in the living room? There is no privacy at all. I’m not an outsider, so how can I sleep on the sofa in the living room?”

“This house is very cost-effective. The rent has been paid for several months, and it will not be changed in the short term.”

Shen Qin said sadly, “I’m in my late fifties. My waist is not good and my physique is weak. I’m sure I’ll fall ill when I sleep on the sofa.”

Cheng Zimei, who was preparing meals in the kitchen, stuck her head out and said with a smile: “Uncle, this sofa bed has the same function as a bed. Many people sleep there. How can you exaggerate? Everyone wants to live in a big house. Ah Dai used to live in a big house, isn’t that big house gone now?”

Shen Qin’s face turned even uglier. He pursed his lips and was speechless.

Although seeing Shen Qin’s shrivelled expression was somewhat fulfilling, Shen Dai felt more sadness in his heart. He also missed the home where he grew up, but it was the person in front of him who complained that the house was too small was the one who sold the old house.

“Go and accompany grandma.” Shen Dai had no intention of continuing this topic. He also did not want to see Shen Qin’s speechless face very much , “Zimei, let’s go and prepare dinner together.”

Back in the kitchen, Cheng Zimei rolled her eyes exaggeratedly and said in a low voice, “He’s not satisfied with eating and living without paying anything.”

Shen Dai silently shook his head. Today is a very good day. He doesn’t want to be unhappy. He can see that Shen Qin has no money. But he can’t make all the squeamish problems heal without medicine.

The two were busy in the kitchen for a while when Shen Qin came over, still looking a little depressed: “Ah Dai, grandma asked you to come over. She said she wanted to find a dress. I’ll deal with things here.”

After Shen Dai left, Cheng Zimei continued to cut vegetables calmly, not afraid of embarrassment at all.

Shen Qin looked at Cheng Zimei several times, and he was hesitant to say anything. Obviously, he had something to say. Cheng Zimei pretended not to see it. She wants to see if he dared to provoke first.

After holding it in for a while, Shen Qin said, “Xiao Cheng, you are Ah Dai’s best friend. Can my uncle ask you something?”

Cheng Zimei was overjoyed. She began to prepare her nerves for battle. She said cheerfully, “Ask away, uncle.”

“Ah Dai’s boyfriend, how is he? What work does he do?”

Cheng Zimei was stunned. She thought that Shen Qin would at least ask how much Shen Dai’s monthly salary was. But when that question came up, she didn’t expect it. She was stunned and opened her mouth as soon as she heard it.

“Don’t you know?” Shen Qin was also a little surprised, “You don’t know about Ah Dai’s alpha?”

Cheng Zimei blinked: “Ah Dai has an alpha? I really don’t know about this. How did you know?” She suddenly panicked. Logically, if Shen Dai really wanted to hide something, then it’s even more impossible to tell Shen Qin about it. But why doesn’t she know about this? While Shen Qin knows? She was just dazed and upset.

“In the hospital that day, I saw him walking out with an alpha holding hands and getting into a Rolls-Royce Phantom together.”

“Fuck!” Cheng Zimei yelled. But she immediately covered her mouth when she realised the gaffe. But her big eyes were wide and she kept wandering around.

“Do you know who that alpha is?” Shen Qin immediately caught the information from her reaction, “It was dark at the time and it was a little far away. So I couldn’t see his face, but he was tall and wearing a suit, so he should be very young. .”

“What colour of the car?”

“Black.”

Cheng Zimei already had the answer in her heart. She had an intersection with Shen Dai and the car was a luxury car worth tens of millions. Based on these two points, she could be 100% sure that it was the crown prince of their Xingzhou. She was just too surprised. That day, Qu Moyu came to the institute and deliberately picked on Shen Dai’s thorns during the meeting. After that, he went to Shen Dai’s office alone. In addition to the scandal caused by the surveillance video, it was only three years ago that only a few people knew about the accident that happened between them. The fate of a pair of young and single alpha and omega has advanced to this point. It seems logical that something will eventually happen.

But after all, he’s the crown prince, the arrogant S-class alpha, the man who is obsessed with his career, never has any scandals, and has ruthlessly fired the top omega who pursues him without affecting his work. When she encouraged Shen Dai, she was just joking. For ordinary people, that person seemed to live in the clouds, out of reach.

If she didn’t hear it from Shen Qin’s mouth, she couldn’t even believe it. She was so excited that she wanted to grab Shen Dai and ask him clearly.

“Who the hell is that alpha?” Shen Qin’s eyes flickered, obviously excited.

“He…” Cheng Zimei woke up in time, “I’m sorry, uncle. Since Ah Dai didn’t tell us, there must be reasons. We are best friends so I have to respect his decision. It’s inconvenient for me to say.”

Shen Qin said anxiously: “Uncle is worried about him. Ah Dai is a very simple person. He has been studying since he was a child. He has a boyfriend now. As his father, I also hope to help him check his boyfriend’s background.”

“I think Ah Dai is fine. He is going to be a graduate Ph.D. student soon. So he won’t be deceived by an alpha as easily as an ordinary omega.” Cheng Zimei sneered in her heart; A person who was so blinded by an alpha wanted to check on others? What a joke.

Shen Qin naturally heard her insinuation but he was not angry. He instead smiled, with a glimmer of light in his eyes: “You are right. I believe Ah Dai can take care of himself. Anyway, that alpha looks young and promising. I hope he is a good man and treats my son well.”

Cheng Zimei didn’t have the heart to listen to what he had to say. Her brain was still shaking, and she was thinking about how to get Shen Dai to confess to her.

That night, the four of them ate their first meal together after moving to a new house, cut cakes, and drank white wine. The atmosphere was warm and happy for a while. Even Shen Dai’s gaze at Shen Qin became less indifferent. He hoped that Shen Qin had really changed his ways. It is so that he could tolerate his small problems such as spending money, hypocrisy, and selfishness based on the concept of ‘supporting his parents as a filial son’. In any case, the day ahead will always go in the best possible direction.

Shen Dai took a picture of the food on the table and sent it to Qu Moyu: My grandmother was discharged from the hospital today and we moved to a new house. So we celebrated. Except for the crucian carp tofu soup, I made the rest of the dishes.

After a while, Qu Moyu replied: Congratulations.

Shen Dai snickered. Being able to share some ordinary joy in life with the person he likes, and getting a response is a kind of joy in itself.
