Mr. Shang, please be passionately in love after marriage.

Shang Ruoxue dedicated her entire life to her career and remained unmarried.

But she has always loved children. When she was in her forties, she adopted a girl from an orphanage, and a few years ago she adopted a boy.

The girl is a little older and is now in college, a junior this year.

The boy is much younger, only in second grade.

Shang Jiajia was wearing a simple white long dress. As soon as Cen hope entered the room, she stared at her for a while, then subtly lowered the corners of her mouth.

Shang Ruoxue told her to call for help, so she stepped forward, a smile spreading across her quiet face.

"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time!"

He raised his arm and gave Cen hope a hug.

Cen Xi politely hugged her back, "Long time no see."

Shang Jiajia and Shang Ruoxue have different personalities. When Shang Jiajia comes to the old house, she is usually very quiet, and Cen hope doesn't interact with her much.

Shang Chenyang is only in second grade and is a boy, which is the most difficult age to manage. In addition, Shang Ruoxue rarely disciplines him, so his dislike for Cen hope is very obvious.

When asked to greet someone, he reluctantly raised his arm and said, "Hello."

When they first met two years ago, Shang Chenyang was still young, but he has grown quite a bit taller in the past two years.

Cen hope smiled and shook his hand in return.

Shang Chenyang immediately shrank back, putting the item in his pocket and turning his head to the other side. Enraged, Shang Ruoxue slapped him on the forehead. "What kind of expression is that? Speak properly!"

Shang Chenyang remained stiff and motionless, a sentence stuck in his throat.

"I think Sister Ning is better."

Every time Cen Ning saw him, she would buy him something to eat.

Cen hope would never do that. If she saw him secretly eating candy, she would confiscate his candy and deliberately scare him by saying that if he ate too much candy, he would lose all his teeth the next day.

He was young then and thought she was telling the truth. He covered his mouth and couldn't sleep all night, afraid that he would wake up the next morning to find all his teeth gone.

Upon hearing this, a rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Shang Ruoxue's face.

"You brat, you'll learn your lesson after I teach you a lesson."

Shang Jiajia advised, "Mom, Chenyang is still young and can't talk yet."

Then she looked at Cen hope and said, "Sister-in-law, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Since she had already said all that, Cen hope naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"It's okay."

Grandpa Shang didn't get involved in these things. "Xixi, go eat something."

The chefs at the old house worked very quickly, preparing several dishes in less than half an hour.

Cen hope said the glutinous rice balls she wanted were also served, and Grandpa Shang and Shang Ruoxue ate with her, while Shang Jiajia and Shang Chenyang played games in the living room.

"Little Xixi, how have things been going with Hanzhou lately?"

Shang Ruoxue was quite concerned about this matter. After all, Shang Hanzhou went abroad for two years as soon as he got the marriage certificate, which really made Cen Xi feel wronged. If he came back and made Cen hope suffer, she would make him pay.

Cen hope took a bite of the glutinous rice ball, the black sesame filling flowing into her mouth, sweet but not cloying. She pursed her lips and said sincerely, "It's pretty good."

To be fair, Shang Hanzhou is a good marriage prospect; he is thoughtful and has a good personality.

"Little Xixi, you absolutely mustn't say anything nice about this jerk. He's always been the kind of person girls don't like, and he's always been cold and stubborn."

Shang Ruoxue sounded somewhat disgusted.

My nephew, with his good looks, has attracted countless girls since he was a child, but unfortunately, he can't say anything nice, and not many girls can stand him.

Cen hope blinked, her eyes curving into a smile. "Auntie, I wasn't speaking up for him, it's true."

"Alright."

Shang Ruoxue patted her head. "It's good that you haven't been wronged. If you really have, tell your aunt. Your aunt will definitely be on your side."

"And Grandpa too."

Old Master Shang also straightened his chest.

After taking the last bite of the glutinous rice ball, Cen hope nodded, "Thank you, Aunt and Grandpa."

"We're family, so let's not speak like strangers."

No sooner had Shang Ruoxue finished speaking than the sound of arguing came from the living room.

"I don't want to play games with you, you don't know how."

It was Shang Chenyang's voice.

He gripped the game controller, frowning, unwilling to play with Shang Jiajia any longer.

Shang Jiajia's expression wasn't very good either. "Then you can play by yourself."

This is a two-player game, and besides her, no one else here wants to play with him. Shang Chenyang is really annoying.

Shang Jiajia lowered her eyelashes, concealing the annoyance in her eyes.

Shang Chenyang didn't say anything more, gripping the game controller tightly. He lowered his head sullenly, feeling that playing games alone was indeed not very interesting.

Shang Ruoxue walked over. "What are you two arguing about now?"

"I don't know how to play games, and Chenyang thinks I'm bad at them."

As soon as Shang Jiajia finished speaking, Shang Chenyang pouted, "That's true, it's not fun if you keep losing."

Children love playing games, and Shang Ruoxue doesn't simply forbid them from playing. It was something she had promised beforehand, that they would have two hours of game time every week.

Shang Jiajia glanced meaningfully at Cen hope, who had finished eating, and said casually, "Why don't you let your sister-in-law play with Chenyang? Your sister-in-law is definitely better than me."

"I do not want."

Shang Chenyang immediately opened his mouth to refuse.

He didn't want to play games with Cen hope.

Upon hearing his words, Shang Ruoxue also became a little angry. "Your sister-in-law might not even want to play with you, so what are you putting on airs for?"

The moment Cen Xi walked in, this kid was already giving her a hard time.

Shang Ruoxue wouldn't tolerate this from him. "Apologize to your sister-in-law. She didn't offend you, and she has no reason to endure your cold treatment!"

Having been reprimanded, Shang Chenyang stubbornly lowered his head, his eyes red-rimmed, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Shang Jiajia tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mom, don't be so harsh on Chenyang..."

"Shut up too."

Shang Ruoxue glared at her, and Shang Jiajia's face stiffened slightly. She didn't dare to say anything more.

Cen hope walked over, glanced thoughtfully at the game screen, then looked at Shang Chenyang. "How about we give it a try?"

Shang Chenyang raised his head, still looking rather unwilling, and muttered, "You don't know how to play games."

Sister Cen Ning once said that she couldn't do anything.

Cen hope smiled, "How do you know I can't do it if I haven't even tried?"

Shang Chenyang was skeptical. "You really know how?"

Children are temperamental, but their tempers come and go quickly. Right now, they really want to compete with Cen hope to see who is more capable.

Have you ever played this?

Shang Chenyang sat cross-legged on the ground, still somewhat uneasy, and explained again, pointing to the control buttons on the game controller.

Cen hope: "Never played it."

Shang Chenyang said in disbelief, "You've never played it, yet you were so confident about it just now."

He's lost his energy again; her technique is definitely worse than Shang Jiajia's.

On the screen, the game officially began.

It wasn't a particularly difficult two-player game. Cen hope stared intently at the screen. The character she was controlling had been attacked by Shang Chenyang several times and was almost out of health.

Shang Chenyang: "Why don't you just admit defeat?"

Cen hope didn't say anything.

Two people were playing a game, while the other three people watched intently from behind.

Shang Jiajia's lips curled down, carrying a subtle hint of contempt.

Shang Ruoxue then grabbed Shang Chenyang's hair, "You brat, be gentle!"

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Shang Chenyang grimaced, his scalp tingling.

In that short burst of energy, Cen hope, who was almost out of health, suddenly seemed to have a breakthrough, and the character controlled by Shang Chenyang was being attacked by her and was losing health like crazy.

He immediately became serious, his face turning bright red.

Cen hope remained silent, her hands moving swiftly. Within half a minute, she had defeated Shang Chenyang, narrowly winning the battle.

"You betrayed me!"

Shang Chenyang was unconvinced.

He deliberately retaliated when Shang Ruoxue pulled his hair, and he didn't even have time to react!
