Chapter 436 So soon you want to change your mind?
On Lunar New Year's Eve in 2000, the festive atmosphere, along with the warmth of Shenzhen, permeated every household.
All companies had already closed for the holidays, and strings of red lanterns were hung up on the streets, casting a festive glow on the faces of passersby.
This year, the entire Shen family gathered in Shenzhen for the Spring Festival as usual—Shen's father and his whole family came, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Fortunately, my grandparents are still in good health; otherwise, they would have suffered terribly on the long flight.
As the years went by, Shen Li valued her grandparents' health more and more, and dared not relax her vigilance in the slightest.
The ointment that Xiangyang personally prepares to regulate the health of the two elderly people every day is made by himself. The ingredients are all rare medicinal herbs that are hard to find on the market, and each one is carefully selected.
When Shen Li learned that the government was going to introduce drug control policies, she stocked up on a lot of Angong Niuhuang Wan in advance. She wanted to stock up on more, but Xiang Yang stopped her.
He is a senior traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and if he really needs it, he can make it himself anytime, so there is no need to stock up on so many that take up space.
Shen Li thought about it again and realized that it made sense. The country's restrictions were the country's business. As long as they knew how to do it, it wouldn't matter if they went abroad to refine it. It was a very simple matter.
It's Lunar New Year's Eve again, and the kitchen is already bustling with activity.
The whole family gathers together to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, making dumplings together; adults and children alike do it.
Shen Li also enjoys this kind of handicraft work.
Laughter and cheerful voices drifted out of the window; this is the family joy that Chinese people value most.
Besides cooking, pasting couplets is also an essential part of the process. However, the couplets pasted in previous years are often not taken down until after the New Year. Otherwise, the bright red against the blue and white castle would really affect the beauty of the courtyard.
Looking at the large and prosperous family in front of her, Shen Li felt a surge of tenderness in her heart.
Deep down, Chinese people still prefer this lively and bustling scene with a large and thriving population.
Young and old alike sat together, chatting and laughing; this is probably the truest form of happiness.
But amidst the joy in the room, Shen Li keenly noticed that Nuan Nuan was not in high spirits, and there was a hint of sadness hidden in her eyes.
It has to be said that Nuannuan has managed Interstellar Entertainment very well in the past two years, and Shen Li has certainly been there to offer advice and suggestions.
With his spatial ability at his disposal, what kind of high-quality scripts wouldn't he have inside?
They can just pick any two movies to film, and they never lack investors; it's hard for them not to be a hit.
Shen Li gently tugged at Nuan Nuan's arm, leading her to a quiet spot, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? He still hasn't contacted you?"
Nuannuan nodded gently, her voice tinged with melancholy: "She sent a gift back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then I haven't heard from her since."
"It will be two years soon," Shen Li reminded him softly, her tone filled with comfort.
"Yes," Nuannuan replied softly, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.
"I've grown two years older, and I seem to have become more mature. My aunt is right; there are many other important things in life, and love is never the only one."
She said that, but she was still waiting for him in her heart, only that her longing was not as intense and urgent as before.
Seeing her like this, Shen Li teased her, "Your company has no shortage of handsome men, all of them are top stars. If he really doesn't come back, you can just pick one from the company, it won't be a loss."
Nuannuan smiled, amused by her words, and the melancholy in her eyes lessened somewhat. She softly echoed, "That seems true too."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a sudden, jealous voice came from behind her: "What do you mean, 'also'? You're already thinking of changing your mind so quickly?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Nuannuan froze, stunned on the spot.
A moment later, the two slowly turned around and saw Shen Hezhi, dressed in a sharp suit, standing tall and straight three meters away.
His brows and eyes carried a hint of world-weariness, yet his handsome features remained undeniable; the jealousy and longing in his eyes were almost overflowing.
Seeing this, Shen Li's eyes curled into a knowing smile.
I quietly stepped back a few steps, leaving the space to these two people who had been separated for so long.
It's good that you're back; at least the ending is good.
Nuan Nuan stared at Shen Hezhi, speechless for a long time.
She thought that after two years, she had almost forgotten him, but at the moment of their reunion, she realized that the feelings that had been buried by time had never truly disappeared.
Two years had passed, and his clear features instantly came to life in my mind.
At this moment, the long-frozen corner of my heart was completely thawed, and a surge of longing swept over my entire body.
She didn't say anything, but could no longer contain herself, she excitedly stepped forward and hugged Shen Hezhi's waist tightly.
Her voice was filled with deep grievance and a sob: "You're finally back."
Tears streamed down his cheeks, soaking the collar of his suit.
Shen Hezhi, who was initially a little angry, felt the little girl trembling and sobbing in his arms.
The jealousy in my heart vanished instantly, leaving only a deep sense of heartache.
He gently patted Nuannuan's back, his tone softening with a hint of self-reproach: "It's alright, it's my fault. I shouldn't have yelled at you, and I shouldn't have made you wait so long."
Hearing his words of comfort, Nuannuan's tears flowed even more fiercely, like beads falling from a broken string.
She choked back tears, looked up into his eyes, and asked cautiously, "You came back...to marry me?"
Shen Hezhi gently released her, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his eyes full of seriousness, and nodded emphatically: "Yes, I've come back to propose marriage, and I'll never leave again."
Nuannuan's eyes were red and swollen, like a wronged little rabbit.
After two years of longing and waiting, they have finally found their perfect home.
On the railing not far away, several children were peeking out and secretly watching this side, but Lao Lu Boyi was talking with the elders in the living room, as composed as a child.
Unlike those few who like to join in the fun.
Shen Lida's two, and Lu Nan's two, are all from the same year, but Lu Boyi's seem to be from different years.
Lu Boyi is much more mature than others.
The elders also enjoy chatting with him; he's not as mischievous as the others.
Of course, Shen Li raised his eldest son in the same way that the eldest son of the legitimate wife was raised in ancient times. He was the future head of the family, so he had high hopes for him from a young age.
He not only has to inherit the family business, but also his younger siblings.
outside.
Huanhuan tugged at the third brother's sleeve and asked curiously, "Third brother, why is eldest cousin hugging uncle?"
The third brother sighed helplessly and rubbed Huanhuan's head: "Young lady, don't ask so many questions."
Huanhuan immediately became unhappy, puffing out her cheeks and snorting, "I'm going to tell Mommy you bullied me!"
The third brother was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Huanhuan, who was about to run away, and said in a flattering tone, "Oh, my little darling, I was wrong, okay? Let me tell you, my eldest cousin likes my uncle, and my uncle likes my eldest cousin too."
Huanhuan blinked, looking even more frustrated, unable to speak for a long time—the adult world is truly hard to understand.
Shen Hezhi looked down at Nuannuan, who was still crying in his arms, and smiled as he pointed towards the railing: "Alright, stop crying. Look at those little guys, they're all laughing at you."
