Shen Xingyi just stood outside the meeting room.

He rarely wore a light blue shirt today, which looked clean and refreshing. It was specially picked for him by Xiaodouding.

On his wrist is a ceramic bracelet that Xiaodouding brought back for him when she was traveling.

The eye-catching combination diluted his original indifference and unapproachability, and made Shen Xingyi, who had always been aloof, finally become down-to-earth.

But his face didn't look good at all at this moment.

Through the glass wall, Xu Xiu looked at Shen Xingyi outside with some surprise.

She stood up, glanced at Lin Lou who was smiling meaningfully, and sent him away quickly:

"Since Mr. Lin is busy, I won't see you off."

Lin Lou looked at her with a helpless smile in his eyes:

"Since you don't want to see me, I'll just leave."

The tone sounded as if Xu Xiu was having a quarrel with him and was being stubborn on purpose. Xu Xiu looked at him in confusion.

Before Lin Lou left, he also said hello to Shen Xingyi:

"Boss Shen, I'll go first."

Shen Xingyi looked at him expressionlessly, then walked towards Xu Xiu without saying a word, completely ignoring him.

The smile on Lin Lou's lips faded slightly, and he eventually left the studio.

Xu Xiu looked at him and asked casually:

"How did you come?"

"He can come, but I can't?"

Xu Xiu was already confused by his low aura, and such obviously sarcastic words made her dumbfounded.

What's wrong with Shen Xingyi...

Her strange look made Shen Xingyi purse his lips silently. He could only digest the sudden anger that burst out in his heart when he saw Lin Lou approaching Xu Xiu just now.

He suppressed his coldness and replied that he had promised to pick up Xiao Douding for dinner today, and then asked unwillingly:

"What does Lin Lou want to do with you?"

"Talk about cooperation."

Xu Xiu obviously didn't want to talk more, which made Shen Xingyi even more annoyed.

The little boy had just been sleeping in the lounge. When he came out in a daze, he saw Shen Xingyi standing there with a gloomy face.

"Dad, why are you unhappy?"

He rubbed his eyes and asked in a soft voice.

Shen Xingyi quickly adjusted his expression and forced a smile:

"Dad is not unhappy."

The little kid made a small sound, puffed up his cheeks and complained quietly:

"Hypocritical adults always try to deceive children."

Shen Xingyi's expression froze instantly.

He who always kept his emotions to himself was actually accused of being hypocritical, by his own son...

After Xu Xiu heard what Xiao Douding said, he poked his forehead with amusement:

"Go wash your face, and then we'll go eat."

At Xiaodouding's request, the three of them went to a fish banquet. Before they sat down, they unexpectedly saw Shen's mother, several noble ladies, and Lin Youqiao.

Lin Youqiao greeted them obediently. Mother Shen couldn't help but look a little unhappy when she saw the family of three.

Shen Xingyi didn't say much to Shen's mother, and he spoke even less to the other ladies, so the three of them left quickly.

As soon as they left, the topic of conversation among the ladies turned to Xu Xiu.

"Mrs. Shen, you are so lucky. I originally thought that your grandson's mother was not presentable, but now it seems that she is not only beautiful and generous, but also has a good career. You really picked up a good daughter-in-law for nothing."

Another person also followed:

"My daughter was talking about this yesterday. The studio run by Miss Xu is quite impressive and has great potential for development. Now that Mrs. Shen has both a daughter-in-law and a grandson, she doesn't have to worry about Mr. Shen anymore."

The two ladies meant to compliment Shen's mother, but when Shen's mother heard these words, she always felt that they were ironic.

She subconsciously explained:

"What daughter-in-law or not? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I basically don't care about Xingyi's affairs. But Xingyi is really good to the children. He just loves the children."

The implication is that Shen Xingyi had to get involved with Xu Xiu just for the sake of his son, and the title of daughter-in-law was completely unrelated to her.

She looked at the well-behaved Lin Youqiao beside her and felt slightly satisfied.

This is her ideal daughter-in-law.

After hearing what Shen's mother said, the two ladies looked at each other and cleverly changed the subject.

Lin Youqiao, who had been smiling and silent, glanced at Shen Xingyi in the distance with her peripheral vision. The madness and cruelty in his eyes gradually engulfed her.

After leaving Shen's mother, she immediately went to Ji Zhirun.

Under her suggestion, Ji Zhirun once again became dissatisfied and murderous towards Shen Xingyi, and only then was Lin Youqiao satisfied.

Looking at Ji Zhirun's obsessed eyes towards her, she suppressed her nausea and kissed Ji Zhirun's lips while drunk.

Ji Zhirun's face was full of surprise, and he excitedly fell into her gentle trap.

But there was a cold look in Lin Youqiao's eyes.

Ji Zhirun, please don't let me down.

After resting at home for a while, Xiaodouding returned to kindergarten.

He felt a little depressed after returning from the first day.

Xu Xiu looked at the little red flower on the back of his hand and asked in confusion:

"Baby, why aren't you happy about getting a red flower today?"

Xiaodouding's honest answer:

"Brother Zhuangzhuang and sister Rongrong have gone abroad with their mother and will not be back for a month."

Xu Xiu remembered that the three children had talked about this matter during a previous video call, but the little one acted very calm at the time.

But now it seems that the departure of his two good friends did have some impact on him.

Xu Xiu thought for a moment and suggested:

"Otherwise, Mom will take you to a picnic in the suburbs next weekend?"

Little Douding had never had a picnic before, and when he heard Xu Xiu say this, his eyebrows and eyes immediately curved:

"Yeah, I'm going to have a picnic with my mom."

*

When he said goodnight to Shen Xingyi on the phone as usual in the evening, the excited little kid couldn't help but tell him about it.

"My mother and I went on a picnic alone."

Even through the phone, Shen Xingyi could feel the little boy's smug tone.

Shen Xingyi, who was excluded, felt a slight pain in his chest.

"Oh no! It's not me and mom alone."

The little boy's sudden voice made Shen Xingyi's heart tighten, and he silently looked forward to his invitation.

But I didn't expect Xiao Douding to say:

"And Big Kov! I almost forgot about Big Kov. He never had a picnic either."

The corner of Shen Xingyi's mouth twitched.

Good, good, now I’m even lower than a dog.

*

On the weekend, Xu Xiu took his little kid to a suburban park for a picnic as promised.

The mother and son spread the tablecloth, took out the prepared snacks, fruits and other food from the basket, and then the little one played frisbee with Da Kefu.

The man and the dog had a great time.

There were also many other families picnicking on the lawn at this time.

One of them sat down and began to rejoice:

"Luckily we hid in time, otherwise the truck would have come straight towards us and we would have been dead for sure."

When Xu Xiu heard about the car accident, he looked at them unconsciously, but his mind was thinking of other things.
