Perhaps this was a rather selfish thought.
However, it was the best solution that Shen Luo’an could think of.
“As long as she does not recall her old memories and continues to live with only her current memories, everyone can continue to live happily too, couldn’t they?” Shen Luo’an thought out loud.
When Shen Zhilie heard what Shen Luo’an said, he turned to face Shen Luo’an and looked at him with a frown before saying, “Brother, are you mad? That will be very unfair for Sister Manting.”
When Shen Luo’an heard this, he took a puff of cigarette again and let out a long sigh.
He then turned to look at Shen Zhilie.
Shen Zhilie was still frowning. He could not empathise with Shen Luo’an, and continued to say, “Right now, Sister Manting’s mental age is only that of a twelve-year-old. What you’re doing is technically salacious acts towards a child.”
All of sudden, Shen Luo’an started smiling. He then looked at Shen Zhilie and said, “Manting is the mother of my child. I simply wish for her to continue to live happily. ”
He then gazed at the luscious greenery ahead and said softly, “Besides, what makes you think that Manting is willing to restore her memories? Perhaps she prefers her current life just like I do.”
“We could lead a carefree life and be happy together every day for the rest of our lives. We can continue like how it is now, laughing when we’re happy and acting like a spoiled child when we’re upset. We could continue to live like an actual married couple,” Shen Luo’an thought.
The blissful life that Shen Luo’an has been experiencing recently was once something he could only dream of.
He believed that Manting felt the same as well.
Shen Zhilie did not say anything further. He looked at Shen Luo’an who he seemed to be thinking deeply about something. Subsequently, he let out a deep sigh.
As Shen Luo’an looked at Shen Zhilie, he stepped forward and patted Shen Zhilie’s shoulder gently. “Forget it. You don’t have to force yourself to empathise with me,” he said softly.
After Shen Luo’an said this, he turned around and trudged back into the house.
“Brother,” Shen Zhilie called out, stopping him in his footsteps. Shen Zhilie calmly asked, “Why don’t we think of a way to help Sister Manting to restore her memories as soon as possible?”
Shen Luo’an paused for a moment before he burst out into laughter. He then looked at Shen Zhilie icily and said, “Zhilie, you’re the crazy one here.”
He sounded slightly hostile and his gaze was different from earlier on.
Shen Zhilie could clearly sense his displeasure and decided to stop talking.
Shen Luo’an quickly looked away, turned and quickly went back into the house.
Shen Yuexiao was alone in the room and was holding onto a Rubik’s Cube.
When he saw Shen Luo’an enter the house, he immediately got up from the floor and ran over. “Daddy!” he yelled.
He then hugged Shen Luo’an’s thighs. When Shen Luo’an saw Xiao Yue’er’s tiny face, his cold, displeased expression softened slightly.
Shen Luo’an squatted down and carried his child up before making his way into his room.
Shen Manting was just about to take a shower but when she saw Shen Luo’an enter the room with their son in his arms, she came over and kissed her baby. “He hasn’t showered yet, has he?” she asked.
“Not yet,” Shen Luo’an replied in a low voice. Shen Manting quickly caught a whiff of the cigar smell that came from his mouth.
She frowned and rather unfortably asked, “Dear, have you been smoking?”
“Yes,” replied Shen Luo’an. When he saw Shen Manting’s reaction, he asked, “You don’t like it?”
“Yes… It stinks. I’m sure Baby doesn’t like it as well, right?” said Shen Manting as she looked at her child. She then smiled and said, “Dear, since it’s already so late, let’s give Baby a bath first so that he go to bed soon, he needs to rest.”
“Sure,” Shen Luo’an agreed. However, just before they went into the bathroom, he looked up and seemed to ponder for a moment before asking, “Manting, are you happy right now?”
