Chapter 732: As If He’d Lost His Ancestor
After spending a whole week in the hospital, Rong Qingqing finally brought the now chubbier Little Qi back to Shen Manor.As soon as she was discharged, Shen Jue felt relieved. With the help of a nanny, nutritionist, and servants to take care of things, he was able to make time to go to the office and handle business affairs without staying at the hospital all day.
However, Shen Jue’s heart was still with his wife and child, so he would leave work at five every day and be home by six, having canceled all social engagements without exception.
Every day he returned to Shen Manor, heading straight to the bedroom to accompany Rong Qingqing.
It was ten days after Rong Qingqing’s discharge that Rong Kuo finally felt compelled to take Rong Ning back to Hai City; Rong Kuo had been away from work for too long, and it was time to get back to it.
However, Zhao Junxi seemed to have gotten used to visiting Shen Manor. Whenever he didn’t have a scheduled event, he would come to Shen Manor more frequently than he returned to the Zhao Family home.
Every day, he would come to look at the child and share little bits of gossip from the entertainment circle with Rong Qingqing to amuse her.
One could say that with Zhao Junxi around as a lively presence, Rong Qingqing’s postpartum month was a bit more joyful.
In the blink of an eye, it was the child’s full month.
After a month, the child, having inherited the good genes from his parents, had started to show his features.
The baby, fair, chubby, with big bright eyes, was so adorable that anyone who saw him couldn’t help but praise his good looks.
As the child’s appearance became more charming, Rong Qingqing’s maternal love also grew deeper.
To protect the child, the Shen Family did not host a large celebration for the baby’s first month. Instead, they invited close relatives and friends directly to Shen Manor for a small full month banquet.
The night before, Shen Manor had already been decorated all around. It was filled with childlike balloons and art pieces, and Rong Qingqing could finally step outside the house.
Shen Jue was holding the child all along, while Rong Qingqing stood by his side.
For such a significant day as the child’s full month, Shen Xingwei naturally couldn’t be absent.
Shen Gaizhuo and Liao Yamei had been in prison for almost a year. With Shen Jue guarding and watching over them, no one could help Shen Xingwei; everyone avoided this second young master of the Shen Family, fearing that helping Shen Xingwei would offend Shen Jue.
After the conclusion of Shen Gaizhuo and Liao Yamei’s case, Shen Xingwei went abroad until Mr. Shen notified him about his nephew’s full month banquet, and he returned to participate.
Perhaps due to a clearer understanding of reality during this time, after returning, Shen Xingwei only had the butler deliver a gift to the main house and did not join them in the main house.
On this day, Shen Xingwei was just standing alone in the corner.
Yet, those eyes that constantly followed Rong Qingqing were filled with pain and restraint.
The woman he loved had married someone else, now raising children with another, becoming someone else’s wife, and a mother.
It was also at this moment that Shen Xingwei fully realized that the woman he deeply loved truly had nothing to do with him anymore.
Her radiant smile had nothing to do with him.
Her future also had nothing to do with him.
Shen Xingwei never knew that one mistake could leave such an unforgettable impression on him for a lifetime.
Rong Ning came with Rong Kuo. Rong Qingqing, seeing Shen Xingwei, didn’t go over to greet him. When she had almost finished greeting the guests who came, she pulled Rong Ning to a quiet corner to chat privately.
"Did you see Shen Xingwei? Look at the pained expression in his eyes when he looks at me, as if someone had died deeply lamented," Rong Qingqing clucked her tongue.
Rong Ning couldn’t help but let out a low laugh, "What kind of comparison is that? Why does it sound like someone died deeply lamented?"
"I taught him how to be a person, didn’t I? So wouldn’t that make me like his deeply lamented?" Rong Qingqing raised her eyebrows.
