Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 330 Don't accept checks
Su Ying arrived home two hours later than planned. Knowing that Xiao Shen would return before her, she carefully composed herself before entering the house.

The man sat on the sofa, scrolling through his tablet. His back was straight, and his long legs were crossed. From the tips of his hair to the tips of his shoes, he exuded nobility and elegance.

Su Ying wanted to go upstairs before he noticed her, but who knew...

"came back?"

Su Ying stopped abruptly, turned around the next second, and nonchalantly shoved the snack box behind her back. "Fourth Master!"

"What good stuff is hidden behind this?" Xiao Shen pretended to have just discovered it.

"Oh, just some snacks!" As he spoke, the man strode over, slightly turned to the side, and used his long arm to scoop up the snacks she had hidden behind her.

He held it up in front of him for a couple of glances, feigning surprise, "It doesn't seem to be a snack from Ningcheng!"

Su Ying's heart jumped into her throat, and she quickly explained, "Um, well, I bought it at a specialty store. I had it in Haicheng before, and it was delicious!"

Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow, and Su Ying's eyelids twitched three times. "Really? I advise you to eat less. Pregnant women should eat more healthy food!"

"Okay, I understand, just this once!" Su Ying pulled him back, turned around and went upstairs in small steps.

As soon as the door closed, she straightened her chest.

Fortunately, that guy didn't suspect anything.

Su Ying stared at the box of glutinous rice cakes, feeling a mix of emotions.

Now that she has registered her marriage with Xiao Shen, she should not see Shen Qingfeng anymore, and she should not accept anything from him!

Another Su Ying said to her, "That's not right. She and Shen Qingfeng are nothing, just good friends. Why make such a fuss? Deliberately avoiding each other only shows that there's something going on between them."

Xiao Shen suddenly pushed the door open and entered, startling Su Ying so much that she jumped up, "Fourth Master..."

Xiao Shen pressed his palm down, a half-smile on his face. "Look at you, why do you look like you've done something wrong?"

Hearing this, Su Ying couldn't sit still any longer and forced a smile, "No way! I was just startled!"

Xiao Shen pressed closer, bending down and placing his arms on either side of Su Ying, gazing down at her with loving eyes, "You really didn't do anything to betray me?"

"Fourth Master, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Su Ying said, her voice weak but still trying to hold on.

She'll just deny it to the death!
Xiao Shen smiled and pinched the tip of her nose. "Be good, and you'd better not let me find out you're seeing other men outside, otherwise, I don't know what I might do! Hmm?"

Su Ying shivered and nodded obediently, "I understand, Fourth Master, I would never do that!"

Meeting up for a coffee is nothing, how can that be considered betrayal?
Shen Qingfeng and his colleagues left a hospital and drove back to the hotel one after another. Just as his car was about to leave the garage, a black sedan suddenly rushed out from the front and cut in front of him, blocking his way.

The other party had their hazard lights on, like a wild beast lurking in the shadows, ready to hunt for prey.

Shen Qingfeng released the safety buckle, pushed open the door, got out of the car, and knocked on the other car's window. As the window slowly fell down, Xiao Shen's arrogant face appeared in his eyes.

"Dr. Shen, you can't drive so recklessly! Look, you almost hit me!"

Shen Qingfeng calmly retorted, "Excuse me, but it was clearly your car that suddenly veered out of control. You should have followed the designated route. Doesn't Mr. Xiao even know that?"

Xiao Shen tapped his fingertips on the windowsill, exuding an aloof arrogance. "So what? I can go wherever I want. Anyone who blocks my way will meet their doom!"

He propped himself up on his arm, resting his chin on his hand. "Dr. Shen, one shouldn't be too greedy, and one shouldn't overestimate one's abilities. Just be a good doctor and don't do things you shouldn't do, and don't touch people you shouldn't touch. If you ruin your future, then no one will be able to help you!"

Shen Qingfeng pursed his lips. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Xiao? Although I know you wield immense power, is it really necessary to threaten others like this?" Xiao Shen smiled leisurely, his smile unfathomable. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell Dr. Shen the good news. Su Ying is pregnant with my child. If Dr. Shen has time, could you please give her a check-up?"

"What? Su Ying, she..."

The car turned around and gradually drove out of his sight, leaving only Xiao Shen's provocative and arrogant face in the rearview mirror.

Shen Qingfeng stood there, grieving.

He might have had a sliver of hope because Su Ying didn't like Xiao Shen, but now she's pregnant with Xiao Shen's child. Only someone who loves another would be willing to bear their child, so Su Ying...

Shen Qingfeng felt like the sky had fallen!
He failed completely, and there was no chance left...

Xiao Ruonan and her wonton shop were very busy, with a constant stream of customers every day. Xiao Ruonan went from feeling sore back and aching waist at first to gradually getting used to it. She was very tired, but happy. In her own words, she finally experienced the fulfillment of life.

"Hello sir, what would you like to eat? Our specialty is crystal wontons!"

"One of these, please!"

The familiar voice made Xiao Ruonan look up abruptly. She was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Dad!"

Grandpa Xiao pretended not to recognize her and tapped the table. "What, nothing?"

"Yes, yes! It'll be ready soon!" Composing herself, Xiao Ruonan quickly got to work.

This shop wasn't in peak hours, and she was the only one working there. The wontons were all pre-made, so all she had to do was cook them. Paired with a carefully prepared sauce, it was perfect.

The old man looked at his daughter, whom he had once cherished, now running a small business to make a living, and felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

Was it her fault? Or his fault?

"Your wontons are ready!" Xiao Ruonan brought them over.

Looking at the steaming wontons, Grandpa Xiao couldn't help but ask her, "Did you make all of these yourself?"

Xiao Ruonan forced a smile and half-jokingly said, "It's a unique recipe, a flavor that no one else has!"

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately gave up and turned away to attend to her own business.

Grandpa Xiao scooped up a wonton and tasted it. Just as Xiao Ruonan had said, it was refreshing and not greasy, and it was indeed better than anything he had ever eaten.

He found it hard to imagine that his daughter, who had been pampered and waited on hand and foot in the Xiao family, was now willing to lower herself to make a living.

She has indeed changed a lot.

The old man didn't even have time to eat his wontons; he just looked at his daughter with heartache. Watching her work so skillfully, she had completely shed her former airs of a spoiled young lady. She seemed like a completely different person, much more mature.

The old man ate every last bite of the wontons and finally left with the help of the old housekeeper.

Xiao Ruonan picked up the check he had placed on the table and chased after him, calling out, "Sir, please wait a moment!"

The old man was heartbroken. "What did you just call me?"

Xiao Ruonan laughed and said, "It's better not to let others know about our relationship. I'm afraid it would be embarrassing for Miss Xiao and you if the Fifth Miss of the Xiao family were to sell wontons on the street!"

After saying that, she stuffed the check into the old man's pocket. "Thank you for your patronage today. I hope you'll come again. I won't accept the check!"

He left without looking back.
