Chapter 2112: Only the Wearer Knows Where the Shoe Pinches

“I see, well, that’s what a good man is like,” replied Ye Qianqian; she felt quite comforted knowing her sister was in good hands . “He’s better than your brother . Youyou was previously married to him and look what happened to her . ”

“…But Sister Manting’s married to my brother now and isn’t she fine? They’re getting along really well . ” Shen Zhilie defended .

“How’s she fine? Look at how Manting is now . It feels as though your brother is being salacious towards a child,” she said .

Shen Zhilie looked at her and replied rather defensively in an attempt to protect Shen Luo’an, “…Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches . ”

Ye Qianqian gave him a look . She then decided not to continue the argument and instead said, “Help me up, I want to use the bathroom . ”

Shen Zhilie smiled and replied, “Yes, Ma’am . ”

…

By the time Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou arrived, an hour had passed .

They had their arms hooked through the steel handle of a big earthenware cooking pot which they had brought along .

They were also holding onto two-year-old Li Jianlin . The child was clearly well-fed evident from his chubby cheeks and the moment he entered the room, he looked around curiously with his jet black eyes .

When he saw Shen Zhilie, he lifted his head up calmly to look at him .

Shen Zhilie raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “It’s not that long since we saw him, but he’s grown quite a lot . ”

Li Jianlin continued to watch him, fixated .

“Greet your uncle,” said Li Jinnan . He then nudged the child after placing the earthen pot on the table .

Li Jianlin appeared to be extremely calm even at this hour and obediently called out, “Uncle . ”

His voice was neither loud nor soft . He sounded serious despite his nasal voice .

Shen Zhilie was speechless . He then turned to look at Ye Qianqian and asked, “For kids of similar age, isn’t Xiao Yue’er rather slow in development?”

“…That’s probably because Xiao Yue’er doesn’t have a mother who can give and teach him properly,” said Ye Qianqian .

That was the only possible explanation .

Ye Youyou walked towards ye Qianqian and when she realised how pale Ye Qianqian was, her heart ached . “I visited earlier this afternoon but I didn’t get to stay until you woke up . I left before that,” she said .

Ye Qianqian noticed that Ye Youyou’s complexion was becoming increasingly rosy and that her face had grown rounder . Envious, she then commented, “You seem to be doing a lot better these days . Jianlin must be a sensible and obedient child . ”

“He’s just like his dad . It’s a long story,” said Ye Youyou before sighing softly . “You must be hungry . After you eat, I’ll give your body a rub with the towel . Also, Dad seems to know that something has happened to you . He even gave me a call to ask about you . He claims that Brother-in-law is lying to him and I had no idea what to say to him . You should give him a call later to clarify things,” said Ye Youyou as she looked at Shen Zhilie . “You should definitely explain everything to Dad,” she said .

“Alright . We’ll do it tomorrow,” he said .

Shen Zhilie then ladled out a bowl of porridge for everyone . He also handed a bowl over to Jianlin .

As Jianlin reached out his hands to accept it, he politely said, “Thank you, Uncle . ”

But he soon walked over to the bed with the bowl in his hands and said, “Mom . ”

He took one glance at Ye Qianqian, who was behind Ye Youyou and gestured to them . He then opened his mouth but seemed like he did not know what to say to express himself . Nonetheless, his behavior had already expressed everything that he wanted to convey .

Ye Youyou accepted the bowl and softly asked, “Is this for Aunty?”

“Yes,” Jianlin replied, nodding his head . “It’s for Aunty,” he confirmed .

Ye Youyou smiled and said, “Alright . Thank you, Jianlin . ”

“Thank you, Jianlin,” quipped Ye Qianqian as she looked at him, envy was written all over her eyes and her heart ached even more .

She quickly looked away before glancing at Shen Zhilie and saying, “Old Shen, feed me . ”

“I’ll do it,” said Ye Youyou . She then brought a stool over to sit beside Ye Qianqian and said, “Brother-in-law has been keeping watch all day and has never left your side . He must be famished,” she said .

“It’s fine,” said Shen Zhilie as he walked over . “I ate some food in the evening . I’m still full,” he continued .

He then took the bowl of porridge from Ye Youyou and said to Ye Qianqian, “Hmm . What did you call me?”

“My Dear,” Ye Qianqian replied .

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

Ye Youyou was rendered speechless .
