"Shen Ling..."

Seeing that he was not prepared to speak the truth at all, she only curled her lips and gave up.

Su Qiu leaned against the back of the chair and looked out the window at the street scenery. As she listened to the soothing music in the carriage, her nose was filled with the scent of a man.

"How can a small house fit these two clothes that can't be folded and takes up so much space?" He sensed the woman's gaze and turned to look at his wife who was slow on the uptake and smiled lovingly. The light in his eyes hinted at Qiao Zhi to send them a private car equipped with formal clothes.

Although the little house was warm, the place was small after all, and there was no room for such two huge gowns. Furthermore, these were's treasures, although they were given to him as a gift, their value was still there, and they could not be casually placed there.

Having thought it through, she nodded, "You're right." His heart was still praising him for his care and consideration.

"But, it's already rather late. Will we disturb Mom and Dad when we go home now?" Su Qiu who was originally leaning back in his seat and prepared to close his eyes to rest suddenly thought of such an important question. He immediately straightened his back and glared at Shen Ling.

10: 45 For youngsters, night time had just begun, and their restless cells had only just woken up. But for seniors, it was already very late, especially for these kind of large families that followed the rules. Shenfu had already finished washing up and went to sleep.

"Don't we have our own keys? Once we put away the clothes, we'll come out and not disturb them." Shen Ling gave the anxious woman a comforting smile, telling her not to worry.

That's right, he should find a chance to specially make a trip back to visit them. Su Qiu relaxed.

Not long after, their car drove into a high-end villa in the forest and stopped in front of the Shen family's mansion.

All the lights in the tall house had been extinguished, and only the door light was still on. The gentle and quiet room was as if it was waiting for the two to return.

When she saw the familiar house, a feeling of relief ran through her heart.

She got off the car and watched as the person who delivered the gown carried it off. She opened the door first and gently pushed it open, afraid to disturb her father-in-law.

But just as she opened the door, she saw that the light in the kitchen was still on.

Auntie Liu still hasn't slept at this late at night? Just as she was wondering, the footsteps of the person carrying the dress behind her had already reached the door.

Without time to think it over, he quickly made way for her and followed Shen Ling upstairs.

In the cloakroom of two people on the second floor, the staff put on their dust gauze after tidying up their dresses, then went downstairs.

The two of them stood in the cloakroom and stared at the two clothes in a daze. They neither spoke nor offered to leave.

"Sir, madam?" A gentle old man's voice sounded from behind the two of them.

The two of them woke up from their contemplation and turned to look at the source of the voice at the same time.

"It's really you two. Just now, I was shocked when I saw two outsiders leave my house." The old steward retreated, his benevolent face unable to conceal the excitement in his voice.

Su Qiu's heart warmed as she walked over and held her hand. "Long time no see, I really miss Auntie Liu."

"Auntie, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing in the kitchen?" Once a person gets old, they really have to take good care of themselves. "

"I'm fine. I want to finish what I have to do before I go to sleep." Auntie Liu's eyes were so gentle that it seemed as if water would drip out of them. Her kind eyes seemed to have grown onto Su Qiu's body, not moving the slightest bit as she sized her up, as if she wanted to make up for the days of not seeing her.

"You …" Su Qiu felt sorry for her, but she knew that this old auntie was a very stubborn person, no matter how hard she tried to persuade her, she wouldn't be able to.

"Sir." She politely looked at Shen Ling, and then held onto Su Qiu's hand, her eyes filled with concern, "Coming back so late, did you guys eat? I'll go make some for you."

"No need, no need," Su Qiu quickly waved her hand, and pointed to the set of clothes behind her, "We had dinner outside, and just came back to send off the gown, and then we'll leave."

Auntie Liu followed her gaze and looked over, "Wedding dress?" She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

When he looked towards Shen Ling, he realized that Shen Ling was using a gaze that said he wanted her to keep it a secret and that he was looking at her with affirmation in his eyes, causing him to be excited in his heart. Even his eyes were slightly red.

After all these years, before he moved here, he had come to this house many times, standing in the middle of the living room with a complicated look in his eyes — looking at all the furnishings in the room, standing there for a long time in a daze. She hid in the kitchen, looking at his stubborn and sad back, and she felt sorry for him but didn't know what to do, so she had to make whatever food she could for him and wait for him to wake up from his sorrow before she could persuade him to eat it again.

Once, when he was drunk and slumped on the floor of the living room, looking forlorn and sad, she came to deliver him blankets and heard him tugging at her long-winded whisper that he had met a little hedgehog, so small and small, but that it could hurt every corner of his heart and make him feel helpless.

At that time, the pain in his eyes made her feel pain as if she was looking at her son. After persuading him for a long time, he finally fell asleep. However, when he woke up the next morning, he once again put on that hard and cold outer robe and didn't let anyone near him.

Until when he brought Su Qiu to stay here, she knew that this woman should be the "helpless little hedgehog" in his heart. At that time, she knew that his heart must have been prepared to let go.

During the days of being together with Su Qiu, she had truly liked this girl a lot. She hoped day and night that the two of them would be able to calmly and peacefully work hand in hand until they grew old.

Now, looking at the wedding dress in the middle of the room and then looking at Shen Ling's gentle eyes, she was truly moved. It was as if she was looking at her own son who was about to get married.
