She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1693: Chapter 1770: Deliberate Flattery

*******

Sheng Ning arrived the next afternoon, first by train and then by car. Xu Qigang didn’t come back this time, and Su Huai’an, worried about her traveling with two children, decided to accompany her personally.

Actually, it would have been fine even if Su Huai’an hadn’t come. The Feng Family had already officially settled in China. A steady stream of funds and personnel was in place, and she had plenty of people she could call upon.

Two sedans drove all the way from the county train station to the village, catching many people’s attention. Before entering the village, Sheng Ning really had to think things over, as both sets of parents were waiting for their son to return!

The question was whether to first visit her own parents or her in-laws. If not handled well, it could affect their relationships significantly.

After some internal conflict, she decided to visit her in-laws first, adhering to the rural tradition as a daughter-in-law.

"Cousin, could you please go to my home and bring my parents over?" Having the two sets of parents together was the best solution.

"Alright!" Su Huai’an didn’t say much, instructed the driver to stop the car, got out, and then drove another car to the neighboring village himself.

The road at the village entrance wasn’t very good, and the car ride was a bit bumpy. The two little ones who were initially asleep had already woken up, and they were curiously looking around with big, grape-like eyes.

"We’re home. Are you happy?" Sheng Ning teased them.

The little sister maintained her aloof demeanor, playing intently with a teddy bear toy in her hands. The little brother, however, was much more excited, stretching out his little arms for Sheng Ning to hold him.

"..." Her son was so clingy. Could it be that their personalities were reversed?

Sheng Ning held the little brother in her arms. This little fellow was always so attached to her that her heart melted. She couldn’t help but love him a bit more. Besides, everyone’s attention was focused on the little sister; even the Living Yama, as their father, saw her as his precious daughter.

Whenever the two little ones slept in the cradle, if the little brother accidentally kicked the little sister, and the Living Yama saw it, he would almost want to pick up his son and give him a spanking.

Because of this, Sheng Ning felt even more affection for her son.

"Little brother, say ’Mommy,’ ’Mommy...’" Sheng Ning knew her little brother couldn’t speak yet, but she always enjoyed teaching him to talk persistently. The little guy was wearing a custom Valentino children’s outfit, with a charming azure color that was typical of a prince’s attire; the fluffy hat on his head was just too cute.

His powdery and jade-like appearance, with those big eyes looking at you adoringly, made it hard to look away even for a moment.

He was simply adorable.

Sheng Ning thought that the little brother must be deliberately trying to endear himself to her, perhaps knowing the precarious situation he was in. The Living Yama, his biological father, treated him like a debtor when he saw him, so the little brother was deliberately trying to win her over.

This assumption made her chuckle. She must have overthought it. The little brother wasn’t even a year old yet. How could he possibly know how to endear himself to people?

"Ma..." The indistinct voice startled Sheng Ning, "Mommy."

The little brother called out again, and Sheng Ning, in surprise, widened her eyes incredulously at him. Was the little brother that smart? Typically, children who learn to walk first tend to speak a bit later. But here he was, walking early and speaking early as well.

Sheng Ning glanced at the still aloof and unaware little sister, her mouth twitching.

The front of the village was filled with people. Xu Xianxiong, wearing a new set of clothes today, stood at the door with excitement written all over his face, eagerly watching the road leading to the village entrance. Early in the morning, whether it was the villagers going to the market or working in the fields, everyone who saw him looked at him as if they’d seen a ghost.

Even Xu Yingshan couldn’t stand it, "Aunt, please do something about Uncle; don’t let him stand at the village entrance and embarrass himself."
