    Chapter 26 Cowardice

    Daddy raises baby

    On the way back from Fichristo Port, Shao Tingyue, who had his eyes closed to rest, felt flustered for no reason.

    During his trip, he almost compressed his working time to the extreme. Things that were originally expected to be completed in a week were suddenly completed in four days.

    He even took the time to inspect the port and signed the contracts for several large transport ships.

    In the following time, he can spend a good vacation with his children…

    Shao Tingyue pondered for a moment and remembered to ask Ryan if he had received Harris’ report today.Before he went out, he had told him to record all the details of Li Chu’s meals, sleep and play every day, and to report anything wrong immediately.

    He actually wanted to call Li Chu, but he was afraid that he would not be able to restrain himself from seeing him if he heard his voice.

    After enduring it for four days and three nights, Shao Ting felt that his self-control had reached a level that no one could match.The first thing he did when he got back was to press Li Chu on the bed and give him a kiss, so that he could be smelled of her from the inside out.

    Thinking of this, Shao Tingyue took out a simple ring box from his suit pocket.

    The deep red velvet has traces of time. When you open the buckle with your fingers, a pair of flawless sapphire rings shine in the sunlight.

    It was even more stunning than when I saw it on the day of the auction, with an indescribable sense of fate.

    He estimated the ring and found that Li Chu’s fingers were thin and should fit just right.

    Will children like it if they receive it?The man’s eyes darkened, he had to accept it even if he didn’t like it.

    Ryan reported in a low voice that he had received the message from the manor earlier.

    The content was no different from the previous two days. In his opinion, the young master was serving delicious food and drinks, so what could be the problem?The boss seemed worried that the person would fly away.

    It’s not like he didn’t make insidious remarks about Liang Wei. The other person was very harsh. Ryan was so worried that he had to give up. Then he suddenly remembered something.

    This is the content of the newspaper that Liang Wei faxed in the morning. Although he is fluent in Cantonese, his ability to read traditional Chinese characters is limited, so he did not understand the reason.In addition, I have been busy with contracts all day, and I finally have time to report to the boss.

    Shao Tingyue was not only flustered now, but his left eyelid also started to twitch wildly, and he wanted to fly back to find Li Chu immediately.

    Until Ryan next to him handed him a newspaper, he took it and read:

    “Countdown to Rich Weddings?”Shipping king bought over 100 million antique wedding rings in Europe, the identity of the “bride-to-be” is mysterious and there are no clues”

    Shao Tingyue: “…”

    The afternoon sun is just right, shining through the dome of the glass greenhouse and shining on the lush green plants.

    Li Chu yawned slightly and looked at Shao Mingzhu, who was running around anxiously in the small garden.

    He is now getting used to taking naps, especially since the British climate can easily make people drowsy.

    So he planned to take a nap.

    Even when I first heard the news that Shao Tingyue was getting married, I felt inexplicably sad.

    Okay, two times.

    Li Chu actually knew very well that they were from two different worlds, and liking and getting married were two different things.

    Although he also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but now that the matter was over, he had better sleep first before talking about it. He was really sleepy and his brain was about to shut down.

    As a result, Shao Mingzhu hung up the phone and rushed over from school without stopping.

    Butler Harris walked in calmly holding a silver tray with a decent smile on his face: “Miss Mingzhu, young gentleman, it’s tea time.”

    He placed several plates of exquisite British desserts on the table one by one: scones sprinkled with powdered sugar, cream tarts dotted with several kinds of berries, small macarons, and a pot of steaming black tea.In addition, according to Mr. Shao’s instructions, all sugar content has been reduced by half, making it healthy and delicious.

    Li Chu thanked him politely. He picked up a piece of macaron and tasted it. The sweetness was just right and the texture was very rich. It was so delicious that he squinted his eyes.

    Butler Harris stood aside, watching the young man eating sweetly, and unconsciously showed a sense of accomplishment.

    He has raised the foals in the manor to be smooth and smooth, and the lambs are lively and healthy. Now, even this young gentleman has a rosy complexion and rounder cheeks due to his care.

    He secretly thought that if Mr. Shao came back and saw him, he would be very happy.

    “Chu Tsai! How can you be so calm when such a big thing happened!” Shao Mingzhu turned around and saw Li Chu eating. He stomped on his high heels and almost made a hole in the carefully manicured lawn in the garden.

    Li Chu blinked and put down the snack with some embarrassment: “Sister Mingzhu, have you asked around, have you heard anything?”

    Speaking of this, Shao Mingzhu shook his head, sat down opposite Li Chu, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

    Along the way, she called every phone she could and asked everyone she could, but there was no clue at all.Finally, I asked Zhong Yili. The other party was silent on the phone for a while, and then hung up the phone with a solemn tone.

    Shao Mingzhu took a deep breath and lowered his voice: “Chu Zai, do you know what the weirdest thing is?”

    Li Chu shook his head obediently and asked cooperatively: “What?”

    Shao Mingzhu saw the dull look on his face and couldn’t help but stretched out her finger and poked Li Chu’s forehead with hatred: “There is no such woman at all!”

    It hurt a little, and Li Chu couldn’t help but cover his forehead, lowering his eyes in thought.

    “Think about it, what is my second brother’s status? He can’t just find a woman and marry him. The news that he bought a wedding ring spread back to Hong Kong Island, and everyone guessed which family’s daughter was going to fly up a branch and become a phoenix and marry into the Shao family…”

    Shao Mingzhu spoke very fast, with an exaggerated expression: “What’s the result? I have used all my contacts and asked people in London and Hong Kong who may know about it. I am now very sure that such a woman does not exist! Chuzai, do you think my brother… could he be under too much pressure at work and have gone crazy?!”

    “Sister Mingzhu, you’d better not let your second uncle hear this.”

    Li Chu looked at her with moist eyes, holding a cup of black tea in his hand and sipping it.

    The sunlight fell on him through the glass, creating a faint halo.With delicate skin and picturesque eyebrows, the whole person looks like a lazy cat that has been carefully fed.

    Shao Mingzhu looked at Li Chu and forgot what she wanted to say, so she blurted out: “Chu Zai, my second brother is so kind to you.”

    Although he was a nephew who was left behind, he finally got him back, so he was inevitably doted on.But she has never seen Shao Tingyue care about someone to this extent. How can anyone raise a nephew like a baby?

    He had to take it with him when he was on a business trip. People from such a big manor were surrounding him. He had just been blowing the wind for a while, and the housekeeper immediately said that he would get him a coat.

    Shao Mingzhu felt a little sad, she was like an orphan compared to herself!She told her to throw it abroad, and asked her that Daddy cut off half of her pocket money!Shao Tingyue himself was in London, and he didn’t even think of taking a look at her!

    Her second brother was obviously very good to her when she was a child, so why did he completely change when he grew up?

    The two of them stayed in the small garden all afternoon. When it was time for dinner, Shao Mingzhu was still unwilling to leave and insisted on trying the Chinese chef’s skills in the manor.

    Shao Mingzhu followed Li Chu and walked to the main house while complaining: “I almost feel psychological shadow after eating British food. My second brother has a Chinese chef here but he didn’t tell me that I can come over to eat when I don’t have classes! Anyway, there are so many servants to support, so you might as well cook for me!”

    Li Chu nodded: “The food he cooks is indeed delicious. Sister Mingzhu must try it.”

    After hearing this, Shao Mingzhu felt something in her heart, and held Li Chu’s arm affectionately, “Chu Tsai is the best to me! By the way, I might as well spend the night in the manor tonight. It’s troublesome to go back to the city after dark. Which room are you staying in, Chu Tsai? I haven’t seen the guest room layout here yet.”

    Li Chu pursed his lips, with some hesitation on his face.

    His and Shao Tingyue’s luggage were all in the master bedroom. From the clothes in the closet to the toiletries in the bathroom, they were shared by two people.If Shao Mingzhu could see it…

    “What’s wrong? Chuzai, is there any secret in your room that I can’t let me in to see?

    His ears were slightly hot, and he was not sure how to explain it, when the butler Harris on the side spoke at the right time: “Sir, Miss Mingzhu, dinner is almost ready, why don’t we move to the restaurant to eat first?”

    Shao Mingzhu’s attention was attracted, and her eyes flickered: “Okay, I still have time to visit slowly tonight.”

    As soon as he arrived and sat down in the restaurant, the sound of a car engine came from the front yard of the manor.

    An expression of joy flashed across Harris’s face, and he said excitedly: “It should be Mr. Shao who is back.”

    Shao Tingyue is back?

    Li Chu blinked. They hadn’t seen each other for just a few days. Why did he feel timid about being close to home?

    Obviously… obviously I don’t miss him very much.

    Okay, I thought about it a little bit.

    When Shao Mingzhu heard Shao Tingyue’s sudden return, she immediately forgot about the food, and her face was filled with the nervousness of being caught: “Top!Did my second brother read it so early?”(Damn! Why did my second brother come back so early?)

    Li Chu shook his head, but before he could speak, Shao Tingyue, dressed in a sharp suit, appeared at the door.

    After not seeing each other for a few days, the man was dressed in a black coat that made him tall and slender. His silhouette was still handsome and cold. His eyes fell on Li Chu with real eyes, and his desire began to surge silently.

    I want to hold him, kiss him, and fuck him.

    I want him to belong to me completely, and I can’t go there, and he can be integrated into my body.

    Li Chu felt a little uncomfortable with his gaze, turned away his face, and whispered: “Second uncle.”

    Shao Tingyue hummed, looking at his gloomy little face and asking, “What’s going on?Not feeling well?”

    Li Chu shook his head: “I’m just a little sleepy since I didn’t take a nap.”

    Shao Tingyue pressed the corners of his lips slightly, and his jawline became a little tight.He clearly felt that the child’s attitude toward him was unnatural, and he guessed that he had seen the newspaper.Even if you don’t see it, there is still Shao Mingzhu with a big mouth.

    Thinking of this, his face darkened and he looked at Shao Mingzhu aside: “Mingzhu, why are you here?”

    Shao Mingzhu immediately put on a bright smile and stepped forward: “Second brother!Isn’t it a surprise?I, let me see you and Chuzai!By the way…experience the manor life, I heard the chef here is super honest!”

    Shao Tingyue’s eyebrows were cold, and he kept looking at the young man’s clean and fair face. It seemed that his face was rounder, and he must have eaten well.

    “You go back after you finish your meal.”

    “ah?”

    The bright smile on Shao Mingzhu’s face froze instantly, like a burnt egg tart: “Second brother!It’s getting dark, and I, a beautiful girl like a flower, go back alone. Aren’t you worried?”

    “I’ll arrange for bodyguards to see you off.”

    Shao Mingzhu knew that there was absolutely no room for change in Shao Tingyue’s decision.She flattened her mouth and whispered aggrievedly: “…I know, just go back after eating.”

    The servants soon began to serve the dishes in an orderly manner. Shao Mingzhu had really not had delicious Chinese food for a long time, his eyes were bright, and he no longer struggled with the issue of staying overnight.

    Shao Tingyue didn’t eat much and spent most of his time taking care of Li Chu calmly.Peeling shrimps, adding vegetables and deboning, the movements are natural and smooth, as if you have done it thousands of times.

    As Shao Mingzhu ate, she felt something was wrong, and kept staring at the uncle and nephew: “Second brother, you have never peeled a shrimp by me since you were a child.”

    After hearing this, Li Chu thought for a while and said, “Sister Mingzhu, I’ll peel it off for you.”

    “Huh, Chu Tsai is the best to me!”Shao Mingzhu smiled and reached out to pinch Li Chu’s cheek.

    Shao Tingyue glanced at her lightly: “It’s almost time to leave after you’ve eaten.”

    Li Chu peeled the shrimps for Shao Mingzhu and put them in a bowl. The man next to him gritted his back teeth and his face became increasingly ugly.

    As the meal came to an end, Shao Mingzhu remembered the gossip about Shao Tingyue buying a wedding ring: “Second brother, is what the newspaper said true?Are you getting married?Where is my sister-in-law?Why have I never seen it?You are about to get married, why are you so secretive?Chu Tsai, you think so?”

    Li Chu was sipping the soup, and he almost choked when he was mentioned unexpectedly. He looked at Shao Tingyue with moist eyes, and the man was also looking at him quietly.

    The lighting in the restaurant was very soft, blending into Shao Ting’s deeper eyes. He just looked at Li Chu, focused and serious, as if there was nothing else in the world.

    Li Chu was stunned, his cheeks and ears turned red silently.

    It’s so strange, obviously he didn’t say anything.

    Shao Mingzhu continued to chatter: “Second brother, actually, it is normal for you to get married now that you are old.At that time, Chuzai and Baozhuzhen can also be the flower girls at the wedding!”

    Li Chu put down the soup bowl. He couldn’t drink any more because he was afraid he would squirt out.

    Shao Tingyue had no expression after hearing this, and his tone was as cold as an ice cave: “Harris, prepare a car to send Mingzhu away.Another thing I have considered is that after you finish your undergraduate studies, you can stay in the UK to study for a master’s degree. I will discuss this with Uncle.”

    Shao Mingzhu: “…”

    After protesting to no avail, Shao Mingzhu left in tears. She wanted to call her mother quickly. She definitely did not want to continue studying for a master’s degree in England!She will die here!

    There were only two people left in the restaurant, and the space suddenly became quiet and private.

    Shao Tingyue took the hot towel handed by the servant and slowly wiped Li Chu’s hands.

    He lowered his eyes and looked at the person he thought about day and night and couldn’t bear it anymore. He hugged the person whole and sat in his arms, wrapping his iron hoop-like arms tightly around her.

    Li Chu was afraid of being seen by other servants, so he couldn’t help but move in his arms.

    Shao Tingyue kissed his ear and cheek, and smelled his breath deeply: “They are all gone.”

    Li Chu felt relieved and sat still, like a docile little sheep.

    Shao Ting felt as if his heart was melting. He pressed his forehead against his forehead and his voice was a little lower than before.

    “BB, you haven’t even peeled a shrimp for me.”
