Today, I'm Going to Spend the Billionaire's Hundred Million Again

Chapter 726: Something’s Off About You

"Why did you come back at this time? Is Shen Group going bankrupt?"Guo Lan nearly spat out her water.

"Even if Shen Group goes bankrupt, I can still provide for you." Shen Jue took off his coat and casually handed it to the butler before walking toward Rong Qingqing and explained, "Didn’t we agree to have lunch at home and then spend the afternoon together? Did you forget?"

Rong Qingqing scratched her head.

It wasn’t that she forgot, but she never took it seriously.

After all, she knew how busy Shen Group was, and Shen Jue not only had to manage Shen Group but also his private ventures.

"Did you go for a walk this morning?" Shen Jue asked.

"No." Guo Lan replied, "I was busy in the study all morning and just came down."

After Guo Lan spoke, she realized she seemed to have tattled on her daughter-in-law.

Thinking about it, it was kind of amusing.

Guo Lan chuckled softly and continued to tattle, "Qingqing is too lazy."

Rong Qingqing’s eyes nervously wandered around, as she slowly snuggled back into the sofa, with a look of seriously watching TV and a vibe of telling them not to disturb her.

"It’s okay, I’ll take a walk with you at Shen Manor this afternoon." Shen Jue sat down next to Rong Qingqing, squeezing her hand, "In the afternoon, we’ll pick up Qiaoqiao from school and go out for a seafood hotpot with the whole family."

Guo Lan gladly agreed, "That sounds good. It’s been a while since our family ate out together."

But Rong Qingqing, she sneaked a few glances at Shen Jue.

Then she whispered to Shen Jue, "Something’s not quite right with you."

Really not quite right.

"Yeah, not quite right." Shen Jue deliberately nodded along with Rong Qingqing’s words, "I made time for you, and you’re not happy? There’s something not quite right with you too."

"Hmph." Although Rong Qingqing was puzzled, she didn’t ask much about Shen Jue’s own decision.

After all, having Shen Jue accompany her made her happy inside.

They’d barely sat down for ten minutes after lunch when Shen Jue pulled Rong Qingqing out for a stroll at Shen Manor.

When they strolled to a few plum trees, they happened to see Old Master Shen standing under a tree, lost in thought.

"Grandpa Shen!" Rong Qingqing called from afar.

Old Master Shen snapped out of his reverie, turned his head, and seeing Shen Jue with Rong Qingqing, he smiled, "Out for a walk too?"

Then he let his gaze fall upon Rong Qingqing’s belly, and the smile on his face grew even deeper.

He was soon to be a great-grandfather.

So much had transpired in the Shen Family over the past couple of years.

Who would have thought that Shen Xingwei’s fiancée would become Shen Jue’s wife today, living happily with Shen Jue, and soon about to have a child.

Life is always unpredictable.

Old Master Shen couldn’t help but sigh, "These trees were personally planted by your father back then, and they’re blooming again this year. Your father planted these plum trees back in the day partly because Qiaoqiao liked them, right?"

"Yeah." Shen Jue simply responded with an "Mm," merely acknowledging, without more words to address Old Master Shen’s thoughts.

"If I’m not mistaken, your father also buried some plum blossom wine under that tree because Qiaoqiao insisted. She had gotten obsessed with martial arts dramas and wanted a jug of daughter’s red to dig up after marriage, just like in the shows. Your father indulged her and played along."

Old Master Shen laughed, "You should tell Qiaoqiao to dig it up and try your father’s winemaking skills sometime."

"She wouldn’t agree." Shen Jue replied.

Shen Qiao won’t even come here.

Father Shen was a stern father to Shen Jue, but to Shen Qiao, he was a doting father with no limits of affection.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have indulged Shen Qiao’s whims to plant trees and brew wine just because of her momentary interest.
