Shen Manting froze, and she turned her head around to take a look .
Shen Luo’an was all dusty, and it was obvious that he’d just come home from being outside . His eyes were slightly red .
He stood outside the room and looked in through the gap in the door, which had been left ajar .
Her heart jolted when she saw him, and she reached out her hand to close the door all the way .
But Shen Luo’an quickly stopped the door from being closed before turning his body sideways to squeeze in .
After he came inside, Shen Manting immediately caught a whiff of alcohol off him, and the smell raised the alarm bells in her head .
Shocked, she held the baby and backed away, alert . “You drank?” she asked .
Shen Luo’an narrowed his eyes and appeared slightly sluggish .
He watched her with bloodshot eyes, and there was an indescribable, deep look in his eyes .
Shen Manting felt increasingly uneasy, and she took another step back . “Move aside . The baby’s still here!”
When Shen Luo’an heard this, he seemed to sober up slightly, because he took a step back .
He then took off his jacket and hung it up .
After that, he slowly walked over to her .
Shen Manting felt alarmed, and before she realized it, she had backed into a corner of the room .
“What are you afraid of?” Shen Luo’an lowered his bloodshot eyes slightly and looked at her . “I won’t eat you . ”
Shen Manting looked at him and began to frown .
“Which ‘Yue’ and which ‘Xiao’ is it?”Shen Manting was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t manage to react .
“Didn’t you name the child already?”
After a moment of silence, Shen Manting replied calmly, “Yes . ‘Yue’ as in ‘to surpass,’ and ‘Xiao’ as in ‘a hero . '”
“A hero?” Shen Luo’an suddenly laughed .
Shen Manting found his laughter random, and she couldn’t at all understand what he was laughing about .
“That name’s too fierce . It would be best to change it to a different one . ”
“Fierce?”
“Yes,” Shen Luo’an replied . His gaze shifted to the baby in Shen Manting’s arms . “I asked my grandmother to read his fortune . This baby is ill-fated . ”When Shen Manting heard this, she was shocked for a moment, but her shock quickly turned into rage, and she said, “You’re the one who’s ill-fated!”
Shen Luo’an took one glance at her face and said in a low voice, “I don’t believe it either, but Grandmother said his health might not be too good . If he follows you, he might die a premature death . ”
“Nonsense!” Shen Manting was furious . “Don’t think of fooling me . If you want this child that badly, you should’ve cooked up a better excuse!”
Shen Luo’an’s expression darkened, and he said, “If I wanted the child, I could just snatch him away, and there’d be nothing that you could do about it . ”
Shen Manting stopped speaking and clenched her teeth in silence .
“Look at you now . You have neither money nor power . All you have is a decent-looking face, but you’ve ruined that now . ” He looked at her and asked disdainfully, “What do you have to fight against me? Take a look at yourself in the mirror . Now, you’re not even pretty enough to sell your own body . ”
Shen Luo’an’s words were too honest and direct .
They stabbed Shen Manting’s heart, and her face instantly turned pale . “What? You can’t take it?” Shen Luo’an looked at her and laughed mockingly . “It’s the honest truth . Don’t think too highly of yourself . If it wasn’t because I genuinely wanted to take you home, do you honestly think that I would enjoy wasting my time with you like this?”
“Definitely . ” In her heart, she knew this better than anyone else .
Everything Shen Luo’an said was the truth .
However, he sounded as if he were a humiliated beggar who had nothing to his name .
Shen Manting gritted her teeth and smirked coldly . “So you’re becoming angry now because you can’t take it anymore?” she asked .
The smile disappeared from Shen Luo’an’s face, and his expression darkened .
He clenched his teeth and laughed coldly . “Look who’s talking . ”
“Haha . ” Shen Manting gave a cold sneer, but she didn’t speak .
Shen Luo’an’s expression turned even uglier, and he suddenly reached out his hand and pinched her jaw .
