[R18] Addicted to pampering you: The mysterious wife of the military master – “Addicted to Pampering You: The Mysterious Wife of the Military Master” Chapter 5 [English]

5. There is no one else now, why are you pretending?

“By the way, Mom, I have reserved tickets for everyone. They are all VIP seats. You must come to participate.”

“Okay, mom will definitely come to participate.” Chu Yunrong agreed.

Shen Xitong turned his eyes to the other people on the table with a look of anticipation.

“Having been a soldier all my life, I am used to hearing the sound of guns and artillery. If those cello and pipa players don’t understand, they won’t join in the fun.” Mr. Shen refused.

Although Shen Xitong was disappointed, he also knew that Mr. Shen had never been interested in these things.

“I’m going on a business trip to Europe that day, so I won’t go. I’ll bring you a gift when I come back.” Shen Junyu said gently.

Then there was only one person left, and the eyes of the people at the table were focused on Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan put down her chopsticks, “It’s the end of the semester soon, and there are still a lot of knowledge points that I haven’t reviewed, so I won’t go.”

“How could you be absent from your sister’s first concert? Isn’t it just a final exam? Your sister is still important.”

As soon as Shen Qinglan finished speaking, Chu Yunrong became dissatisfied and scolded her softly.

“Yun Rong.” Mr. Shen called out.

Meeting her father-in-law’s warning gaze, Chu Yunrong scoffed and closed her mouth.

Shen Qinglan’s face was calm, showing no emotion or anger, “Grandpa, I’m going back to school first.”

“It’s so late today, so let’s stay at home.” Mr. Shen is reluctant to give up. His granddaughter rarely goes home, and even her time at home on weekends is limited. The reason is not clear to him.

“We have classes tomorrow morning. It’s more convenient to live on campus. The day after tomorrow is the weekend. I’ll come back to see you.” Shen Qinglan stood up.

Seeing this, Shen Xitong stood up and said, “Qinglan, I’ll see you off.”

Mr. Shen looked at his granddaughter who was leaving and stared at Chu Yunrong, “Come up here with me.”

Shen Junyu was the only one left at the dining table. His eyes were bright and clear, and no one knew what he was thinking.

“Qinglan, don’t misunderstand mom, mom, she didn’t mean it, she just…” Shen Xitong followed Shen Qinglan and opened her mouth, full of apologies, like a sister who understands justice and is trying to persuade a sister who is angry and ignorant.

Shen Qinglan stopped and looked straight at Shen Xitong, without any emotion in his eyes, “Shen Xitong, there is no one else here, why are you pretending? Aren’t you tired?”

Shen Xitong’s face froze, but returned to normal in an instant, maintaining a generous smile on his face, “Qinglan, I know you are unhappy that my mother is good to me, but you also have to understand your mother. After all, I have been the one who has been with her for so many years since you left home, and you have a quiet temperament. You don’t spend much time with your mother, and it is possible that your mother will not adapt to it for a while.”

Listening to Shen Xitong’s sincere words, on the surface he was trying to persuade me, but in fact he was showing off. So what if you, Shen Qinglan, are my mother’s biological daughter? The person my mother loves the most is not me, even though I have no blood relationship with her.

Shen Xitong’s voice-over Shen Qinglan understands, but she is no longer a child. If she still had a little bit of fantasy about Chu Yunrong when she first returned to the Shen family, then six years later, that little bit of fantasy has been wiped out in reality.

“Shen Xitong, I hope you can live your whole life wearing the mask of the eldest daughter of the Shen family.” Shen Qinglan’s tone was calm, but the words were like a knife, piercing deeply into Shen Xitong’s heart, directly pulling out the deepest rotten flesh inside.

Shen Xitong’s face instantly became very ugly, and he stared at Shen Qinglan’s retreating back with cold eyes.

“Lanlan, get in the car.”

Shen Junyu’s car stopped in front of Shen Qinglan, and the car window rolled down, revealing Shen Junyu’s handsome face.

Shen Qinglan got into the passenger seat, and the two of them were silent all the way.

When they arrived a street away from the school gate, Shen Junyu stopped the car. Shen Qinglan was about to get out of the car. Shen Junyu held down her hand, and Shen Qinglan looked at him doubtfully.

Shen Junyu licked his lips, his throat a little dry, “Lanlan, you will always be my brother’s sister, my most beloved sister.”

Shen Qinglan understood, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, “Brother, I don’t mind.”

Shen Junyu looked at his younger sister’s calm brows, and there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes. Was it because he didn’t care at all that he didn’t mind?

“You have to take good care of yourself when you live alone in school. Wait for me on Friday and I will take you home.” Shen Junyu warned.

It’s not that Shen Qinglan didn’t miss the bitterness in Shen Junyu’s eyes. She is a person who is particularly sensitive to people’s emotions. She has a good guess as to what Shen Junyu is thinking. It’s not that she doesn’t care about the Shen family, it’s just…

“Okay.” Shen Qinglan agreed, if this can make her brother feel better, then so be it.

Shen family study room

Mr. Shen sat on the chair and did not speak for a long time. Chu Yunrong sat on the side, holding her hands uneasily.

“Dad, do you have any orders?” Chu Yunrong was the first to break the silence.

“Yun Rong, you have been married into our family for more than 20 years, right? Shen Qian is a soldier and is away from home all year round. It is all thanks to you that this family has been able to live in harmony for so many years.”

“Dad, don’t say that. These are what I should do. Although Aqian doesn’t come back often, he is very good to me. I have never regretted marrying him.” Chu Yunrong said softly.

Mr. Shen sighed, “Shen Qian was too busy at work and couldn’t even be by your side when you gave birth to Jun Yu and Lan Lan. After all, he owed you.”

Chu Yunrong also seemed to think of those difficult days. Although her parents-in-law were very kind to her and took good care of her, her husband was not around, which no one could make up for. Her eyes were slightly red.

“I remember when Lan Lan was first lost, you were like crazy. You were looking for her all over the world, and you talked about Lan Lan every day. You even got depression because of it. Later, Shen Qian couldn’t stand it anymore and adopted Xitong from the orphanage, and you gradually got better.”

“Tongtong is a good boy, very sensible and well-behaved.” Speaking of Shen Xitong, Chu Yunrong smiled more on her face.

Mr. Shen nodded, “She is indeed sensible, but Yun Rong, Lan Lan is back now. Don’t forget that she is your daughter who was born in ten months of pregnancy. If it hadn’t been for the accident that year, she would not have left us for so many years. She would have grown up under our care and love like Xitong.”

“Dad, I know Qinglan is my daughter. Over the years, I have been making up for her. I know that sometimes I may be partial to Tongtong, but Qinglan is still my heart and soul.” Chu Yunrong’s voice was choked with sobs.

“No, you know it in your heart. I just hope that you, as a mother, can be fair to your daughter. This is also what your mother means. Lanlan is your mother’s most beloved child. Her time is running out now, and the person she is most worried about is Lanlan. You, don’t let her live her last days without peace of mind.”

“I know, Dad.”

At the door of the study, a green skirt flashed past.
