Chapter 86: Can You Call Me “Mother”? (1/2)

As they drove through the bustling streets of the village, Shen Cheng’s mood naturally calmed while watching the harmonious smiles of the townspeople.

After passing through a sparsely populated alley, Lu Mingjing finally stopped the car at the entrance of the Shen Family estate.

Seeing the grand size of the Shen Family estate, Lu Mingjing’s eyes lit up and said, “Shen Cheng, senior, is your family this wealthy?”

Hearing this, Shen Cheng only smiled bitterly and shook his head without further explanation, and then got out of the car with Liu Su and Shao Silin.

Lu Mingjing didn’t follow. He remained in the car with the wolf demi-human girl, silently waiting.

The wolf demi-human girl leaned against the car window, staring intently at Shen Cheng’s back.

The outfit Shen Cheng had worn when he left had a big tear and was covered in bloodstains, so he had thrown it away. The clothes he was wearing now were borrowed from Yun Tan, which he had just put on.

*Creak*—the Shen Family gate was pushed open, and Shen Cheng walked inside. He immediately saw Shen Wei, who was busy with a shovel in the garden. Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched, and he asked, “Dad, what are you doing?”

“Ah? Little Cheng, you’re back already?” Shen Wei looked up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, “An old friend sent me some fertilizer, so I was spreading it around the flowers and loosening the soil in the garden.”

“Senior!”

At that moment, the door to the house opened, and Lin Yuhui hurriedly ran out, inspecting Shen Cheng from head to toe as if examining a cucumber at a market.

Shen Cheng let out a bitter laugh and said, “Huihui, don’t worry. I’m not hurt.”

Hearing this, Lin Yuhui breathed a sigh of relief and said, “As long as you’re okay.”

“Father!”

“Master!”

Just then, Yanyan ran out of the house, with Milk Tea and Sugar closely following behind.

Shen Cheng scooped Yanyan into his arms, while Milk Tea and Sugar jumped onto him.

Shen Cheng kissed Yanyan on the cheek, causing her to giggle. Surrounded by the girls, Shen Cheng smiled and said, “I’m home!”

Shen Wei watched the scene before him, feeling an overwhelming sense of contentment, his heart filled with satisfaction.

At that moment, Shen Wei noticed the soil at his feet move slightly. His brow furrowed, and he immediately swung his shovel down hard onto the soil.

Seeing that the soil stopped moving, Shen Wei muttered to himself, “That worm is really big…”

Inside the house, Cheese sat quietly, his ears drooping, watching the cheerful scene outside.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Qing approached and asked, “Aren’t you going to greet Little Cheng?”

“Mother…” Cheese looked up at Chen Qing, her expression somewhat gloomy, and clutching her chest, said, “I feel like… my chest is empty… but also a little stifling, nya…”

Seeing Cheese’s demeanor, Chen Qing immediately understood what was happening. A gentle smile appeared on Chen Qing’s face as he stroked Cheese’s head and whispered something in her ear.

As Cheese listened, she nodded repeatedly, a light gradually returning to her eyes. Finally, Cheese’s eyes brightened, and he regained her usual cheerful smile, saying to Chen Qing, “I understand, thank you, Mother, nya!”

“Good!” Chen Qing smiled and ruffled Cheese’s hair again, saying, “Go ahead, child.”

Cheese nodded with a smile, stood up, and ran toward Shen Cheng, calling, “Master, nya!”

Shen Cheng lifted Yanyan slightly higher in his arms, allowing Cheese to jump into his embrace. He reached out a hand to ruffle Cheese’s grey-blue hair, his gaze filled with affection.

Looking toward the Shen Martial Arts Hall, Shen Cheng seemed to see Shen Yu standing in front of Liu Su, single-handedly blocking the giant creature’s enormous palm.

If only… I could become as strong as Grandpa…

Liu Su and Shao Silin entered the house, and after collecting the blood sample, they prepared to leave.
