    Chapter 160 It Doesn’t Matter

    Since Shu Lin’s true identity was revealed, his life has undergone great changes.

    In the past, he could return to the Shu family whenever he wanted.

    Whenever he had free time, he would run over to accompany Shu Jingcheng.

    Although there were bodyguards secretly protecting him at that time, at least he had the freedom to travel and wouldn’t attract too much attention.

    But now, it’s completely different.

    His US-Class Omega status, coupled with being the wife of the Vice Minister of Defense and the Shao family’s second son, makes every outing feel like going to war.

    Now, with the added title of Chairman of the Shu Lin Pheromone Foundation, it’s even more difficult to move an inch.

    Even with a whole team of bodyguards providing tight protection, they can’t stop the long lenses of the media and the onlookers.

    What gives him even more of a headache is that Shu Jingcheng and Shu Lingxiao’s lives have also been affected.

    Reporters and traffic bloggers who want to dig up news often stake out near the Shu family’s residence, and they definitely won’t let him go if he shows up.

    It’s causing Shu Jingcheng no peace either.

    Now, Shu Lin hardly ever returns to the Shu family. If he wants to see his father and sister, they come to the Shao Residence to see him.

    This time, when he called Shu Lingxiao, he actually wanted to talk to her about Shu Jingcheng’s matter.

    Shu Lin doesn’t want his father to always be alone at home and wants to take him to the South Mountain villa to live with him.

    He discussed this matter with Shao Chengxi.

    Shao Chengxi had no objections.

    Next year is the new presidential election, and all parties have already begun to compete.

    The closer it gets to the end of the year, the more intense the fighting will be, and the busier he will be.

    If Shu Jingcheng can come over, the two of them can keep each other company, and he will feel more at ease.

    However, even when he’s busy, Shao Chengxi will take the time to accompany Shu Lin every day.

    During this process, although the two have reduced their physical intimacy, their relationship has become even closer.

    Shao Chengxi has customized a “privilege card” for Shu Lin.

    It includes unlimited back rubs, the right to be woken up at any time, and the “do whatever you want” right.

    Under the cover of this “privilege card,” even if Shu Lin becomes sensitive and irritable due to his physical condition, Shao Chengxi will sweetly resolve it in this way.

    This is also an important reason why Shu Lin’s condition has been so good.

    In addition to this, Shao Chengxi has also prepared a surprise for Shu Lin.

    He asked Wu Jie to secretly arrange a photographer to be by Shu Lin’s side.

    Specially to capture every moment of Shu Lin.

    He wants to turn these irreversible moments into an album and give it to Shu Lin then.

    In short, Shao Chengxi is trying his best to do everything he can think of.

    As long as it can make Shu Lin happy.

    Therefore, when Shu Lin said he wanted to take Shu Jingcheng to live with them, he had no objection at all.

    As long as he has no objection, the others in the Shao family need not be mentioned.

    But there is still a problem in the middle.

    If Shu Jingcheng really lives with Shu Lin and Shao Chengxi, only Shu Lingxiao will be left at home.

    Although she is a workaholic, it seems inappropriate to leave her alone at home.

    In short, Shu Lin is quite troubled by this matter.

    Therefore, he specifically called Shu Lingxiao over to discuss it together.

    On Sunday morning, Shu Lingxiao came with Shu Jingcheng.

    While Shu Jingcheng was playing chess with the Shao family elders, Shu Lin told Shu Lingxiao his thoughts.

    Noticing Shu Lin’s slightly uneasy expression, Shu Lingxiao laughed easily:

    “Is that all? I thought something big happened.”

    She reached out and pinched her brother’s chubby face:

    “Actually, I’ve had this idea for a long time.”

    “Dad is getting old and has had stomach cancer surgery. I’m not home often, so I’m worried about him being alone.”

    “As long as Dad agrees, I have no objections.”

    Shu Lin immediately beamed:

    “That’s great! I’ll have Chen butler prepare a room, the one facing the sun. Dad likes to bask in the sun.”

    “Wait,” Shu Lingxiao held back her excited brother, “We still have to ask Dad what he thinks. With his stubborn temper, he may not be willing to move.”

    Shu Lin blinked, smiling slyly:

    “That’s simple. Just say I need him to take care of me. Dad is most susceptible to that.”

    Shu Lingxiao chuckled:

    “That’s right, you’re right. Then it depends on your skills.”

    The two smiled at each other.

    Suddenly, Shu Lin changed the subject:

    “But, Sis, if Dad comes to me, I’m afraid he’ll worry about you again.”

    “Besides, you’re all alone at home, which is too lonely. I’m also worried.”

    Shu Lingxiao didn’t take it to heart, waving her hand:

    “Don’t worry about me, I’m so busy with work every day, where would I have time to be lonely?”

    Besides, with Shao Shiyan, that clingy thing, loneliness has no place to settle down with her.

    The autumn sunlight is crisp and refreshing, scattering on the carpet through the French windows, very comfortable.

    Shu Lin looked at the delighted expression that his sister unconsciously revealed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

    He picked up his juice and took a sip, opening his mouth as if casually:

    “By the way, Sis, Shao Shiyan specially came to me a few days ago.”

    Shu Lingxiao’s fingers, which were tidying up her stray hairs, stopped: “What did he ask you for?”

    “He said…” Shu Lin deliberately dragged out his tone, with a hint of teasing, “He wanted to ask for my opinion about you two dating.”

    “What?” Shu Lingxiao’s ears visibly turned red, “He…”

    “He asked everyone in the Shao family, from top to bottom,” Shu Lin said with a smile.

    Shu Lingxiao: “…”

    “So…” She was rarely at a loss, looking at Shu Lin, “Shu Lin, what did you say?”

    Shu Lin put down his cup, looking at Shu Lingxiao, his expression particularly serious:

    “I said, as long as Sis likes it, I have no objections.”

    After saying that, he paused and continued:

    “Sis, actually, whether you choose to get married or choose to divorce like Dad did back then, it’s not the key.”

    “Whether it’s a union like mine and Shao Chengxi’s that started as a transaction, or a sister-brother relationship like yours and Shao Shiyan’s, it doesn’t matter.”

    “Choosing which form doesn’t matter. What matters is that each of us is happy.”

    “Sis, for you, and for Dad and me, please resolutely choose happiness.”

    Shu Lingxiao’s nose felt a twinge of pain.

    Looking at her younger brother, her heart was filled with emotion.

    She remembered Shu Lin crying when he was little.

    Remembering his helplessness and panic when he had just differentiated into a US-Class Omega.

    She also remembered the frightened and surprised look on Shu Lin’s face when she and Shu Jingcheng were rescued and woke up from the hospital bed.

    Now, he has really grown up.

    “Silly boy…” She reached out and ruffled her brother’s hair, her voice a little hoarse, “When did you become so good at talking?”

    Shu Lin leaned on her shoulder, nuzzling and acting spoiled like when he was little:

    “Because I love my sister…”

    These words made Shu Lingxiao’s heart tremble.

    She suddenly realized that the younger brother who needed her protection back then could now protect her in return.

    “But Sis,” Shu Lin suddenly raised his head, with a mischievous look on his face, “Shao Shiyan said that when he comes back from his business trip this time, he’s going to announce your relationship, and he also said he’s prepared a surprise…”

    “He dares!” Shu Lingxiao gritted her teeth and took out her phone, “I think he’s tired of living!”

    Shu Lin secretly laughed, watching his sister frantically making a phone call.

    He hasn’t seen his sister with such rich facial expressions before.

    It’s great, his sister has also found her own happiness.
