After a failed blind date, a wealthy woman tried to walk into my heart

"Make sure you remember what you just said. From now on, both me and Mengmeng will be sticking to you," Xia Shuyi said, sounding like a girl who's just given herself to her boyfriend.

"I won't interfere in your life. Whatever you need financially, I'll do my best to provide. But you can't just disappear on me and Mengmeng," she added.

"Don't worry, I'd go through fire and water for you, Xia Jie," Shen Lang promised earnestly, then he held out his pinky. "Want to call Mengmeng over so we can make a pinky swear as a family?"

"You're such a mess!" Xia Shuyi playfully smacked Shen Lang's arm, her face lit up with a gentle, satisfied smile.

"But if you're involved with that girl, you need to treat her well. She's naturally kind-hearted and comes from a tough background. I'll support her financially, but you should support her emotionally."

Xia Shuyi added with a touch of guilt, "Once you two get married, I'll find a bigger place for you both and move in with you."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Lang cut in, "Xia Jie, I haven't even made a move on her yet. I've only just started seeing her."

Xia Shuyi was surprised. "Oh? You haven't made a move on her? Really?"

When Li Liusi moved in, Xia Shuyi had seen the fortunate circumstances for this girl. Plus, with her looks and figure, it was hard to believe Shen Lang hadn't made a move.

"I'm not lying. If I were to jump right in just after meeting her, that would make me a real scumbag, wouldn't it?" Shen Lang joked, thinking to himself, "I need to get to know her better first."

"I'm actually surprised," Xia Shuyi said, admiring Shen Lang. "With her looks and figure, and with your impulsive nature, it's strange you haven't done anything yet."

Shen Lang: "…"

"I've said it before—I won't meddle in your personal life. But if you do get serious with that girl, treat her right."

Xia Shuyi said seriously, "When you get married, make sure you keep your heart with her and don't let her down. Just focus on building a life together with her and us."

"I know her family situation. I'll visit the hospital and talk to her grandmother soon to see if they need anything," she added, feeling a bit shy. "Consider it my compensation for her."

"Why does this all sound so familiar?" Shen Lang thought to himself. Is this how older women give advice?

"Alright, Xia Jie, I get it," Shen Lang said, eager to change the subject. "You should go get dressed. We need to take Mengmeng to kindergarten soon."

"Okay," Xia Shuyi said, noticing Shen Lang's impatience. She got up to change clothes.

"Marriage…" Shen Lang sighed with mixed feelings about the future, both confused and strangely hopeful.

"With all my issues, I probably won't be getting married anytime soon."

...

"Everyone, come and eat breakfast!" Xia Shuyi called out, bringing two steaming bowls of egg noodles from the kitchen.

"Huh? You can braid hair?" Shen Lang was surprised when he saw the cute braid in Mengmeng's hair.

"What else would I do?" Shen Lang shrugged. "I took care of my younger sisters from a young age, including all their needs, so braiding hair is nothing new."

"Ha, you must really like your younger sisters," Xia Shuyi said with a smile, rubbing Mengmeng's head. "Mengmeng, if Xiao Shen is here, let him help you braid your hair, okay?"

Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she happily nodded, "Yeah, sure!"

"Alright, you two eat first," Xia Shuyi said.

"Huh? Aren't you eating?" Shen Lang asked.

"I had strawberries earlier, so I'm not very hungry now," Xia Shuyi replied, turning to Shen Lang with a flirtatious look. "I'm all dressed up, and you're not going to dress up too?"

"Go on," Shen Lang said with a laugh. After last night, Xia Shuyi seemed like a different person. But this new side was quite charming.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes in the living room, Mengmeng, with her little backpack, was getting anxious. Only then did Xia Shuyi finish dressing.

When Xia Shuyi walked out of the bedroom, Shen Lang was momentarily stunned.

She was wearing a black silk straight dress, with black, glossy stockings hugging her long, slender legs. Her fair feet were in open-toe high heels, revealing red-painted toenails—a captivating sight.

Xia Shuyi was already pretty, but this stylish outfit made her look even sexier.

The biggest change was in Xia Shuyi's aura. Her charm now combined the elegance of a married woman with the confidence and allure of a mature woman.

Of course, Shen Lang's influence had a lot to do with this transformation. It's simple biology: when a woman is always glowing and well-dressed, it usually means her partner is very supportive and satisfies her needs.

Only a woman who feels consistently happy and loved can be so confident and beautiful.

Xia Shuyi elegantly flipped her long hair and smiled confidently at Shen Lang. "How do I look?"

Mengmeng eagerly shouted, "Beautiful! Mommy looks so pretty!"

"Silly girl, I wasn't asking you," Xia Shuyi said with a smile. Then, she winked at Shen Lang and playfully asked, "How do I look, dear?"

The term made Shen Lang's heart flutter. He quickly picked up Xia Shuyi and kissed her passionately.

As Mengmeng cheered, Shen Lang spun Xia Shuyi around a few times. Finally, he gave Xia Shuyi a big kiss on the cheek in front of Mengmeng and said sincerely, "Mommy is really beautiful! Isn't she, Mengmeng?"

"Aww, you're so annoying," Xia Shuyi said, blushing and playfully hitting Shen Lang while clinging to his arm.

Her eyes were filled with an overwhelming sense of happiness and reliance.

As they were kissing, Mengmeng peeked through her fingers, then happily released her hands and said, "Yeah, Mommy is beautiful, and Xiao Shen is strong. I want to spin too!"

Shen Lang corrected her, "Hey, it's not about strength; it's called boyfriend power!"

"Boyfriend power?" Mengmeng tilted her head, not understanding the new term.

Xia Shuyi was particularly happy. This term made their age difference seem smaller. Shen Lang was indirectly praising her youth.

Ah, the charm of words.
