Chapter 30: The Man Who Left Her

Shen Mingzhi had a good figure, and the dress showed off her slender waist and good proportions.

He urged her, and she thought he was getting a little impatient.

The abrupt compliment made Shen Mingzhi a little embarrassed.

“I still have to give the money for the dress to your sister.” Shen Mingzhi wasn’t someone who liked to take advantage of others, let alone take advantage of Jiang Yinyin.

“If you give her the money, do you think she’ll appreciate it? She bullies you, even buying you ten dresses wouldn’t compensate for it.” Although Jiang Yinyin was Jiang Shaochen’s sister, he didn’t speak up for her.

Besides, Jiang Yinyin just needed to be disciplined.

“I just don’t want to cause her any trouble.” Shen Mingzhi muttered.

Jiang Shaochen didn’t want to mention Jiang Yinyin, so he changed the subject, “What time are you taking the kids to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow?”

“Six or seven o’clock, why?” Shen Mingzhi didn’t understand.

The two little ones, Nian Nian was held by her, and Jiang Zhou was placed on the car seat, quietly opening his eyes to look at the roof.

“Then I’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning. I’ll buy meat buns, so don’t make breakfast.” As Jiang Shaochen spoke, he unconsciously glanced at Shen Mingzhi sitting in the back.

His wide palms were tightly gripping the steering wheel.

Shen Mingzhi hummed in agreement. It was indeed much more convenient to have a car to see a doctor, and even if she refused, Jiang Shaochen would only ignore it.

Back at the courtyard house.

The two children were already asleep.

Shen Mingzhi poured out all the water from the hot water bottle, soaked some mugwort leaves, and sat on the bed with a basin, wiping the bodies of Zhou Zhou and Nian Nian.

Jiang Shaochen walked in and took the towel from her hand, “I’ll do it, you took a bath in my house, don’t get all sweaty again.”

“I still have to dry the herbs later, I’ll be sweating too.” Shen Mingzhi said, but the towel had already been snatched away by Jiang Shaochen.

He skillfully wrung out the towel and then carefully wiped the little guy’s body, but he was still talking to Shen Mingzhi, “I’ll help you dry them later, you sit and blow the fan.”

Shen Mingzhi couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re doing everything for me, so I’ll just sit and enjoy it?”

“Yeah.” Jiang Shaochen’s tone was very serious.

Shen Mingzhi didn’t blow the fan, but sat in a chair, using a palm fan to fan herself.

Looking at the man clumsily wiping the bodies of the two children, she said softly, “Be gentle, the children’s skin is delicate.”

Jiang Shaochen “Oh”, and the movements on his hands became more careful. After wiping the two children and putting on their clothes, he was already covered in sweat.

Standing up and exhaling, he put the towel in the basin, said to Shen Mingzhi, and went out, “I’ll go help you dry the herbs.”

Shen Mingzhi took the fan and followed behind him.

Jiang Shaochen worked very neatly, not only helping her wash the herbs, but also drying them on the large baskets.

After finishing, he washed his face with cold water, scratched his hand and returned to the eaves, and said to Shen Mingzhi, who was leaning against the wall, “Go and rest, I’m going back too, I’ll come pick you and the children up tomorrow morning.”

Shen Mingzhi was very grateful to him for helping her do so much tonight, and nodded immediately, “You’ve worked hard tonight, let me rub some essential balm on you before you go back.”

He had a lot of mosquito bites on his arms, and Shen Mingzhi was worried that he would have problems scratching the itch while driving.

After all, it was getting late.

Jiang Shaochen followed her into the house.

Shen Mingzhi took out the essential balm from the blue cloth bag she often carried and sat next to him.

The faint fragrance on her body first floated to his nose.

Until the essential balm covered the faint fragrance on her body… he felt like it was a milky fragrance.

“Okay, pay attention to safety on the way back.”

Shen Mingzhi’s voice interrupted his thoughts.

Jiang Shaochen got up and was about to leave when he suddenly asked, “By the way, is there enough milk for the children? My mom said that if there’s not enough for our two children, let me go with you to buy milk powder for them.”

Shen Mingzhi blushed and pushed him out, “This is not something you should worry about!”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Shaochen asked with a puzzled expression.

This was what Jiang Qing specifically asked him to ask.

Shen Mingzhi pushed him out and closed the door with her backhand, “If there’s not enough, I’ll buy it myself, hurry back and rest!”

Jiang Shaochen realized belatedly that Shen Mingzhi was shy.

Returning to the bed and sitting down, Shen Mingzhi calmed down, then lowered her head and looked at her chest… In fact, the original owner’s figure was very plump, so the milk was also very sufficient.

It was just that Jiang Shaochen, this big straight man, asked it so bluntly, which made people feel embarrassed.

Covering her chest, she lay down.

There was enough milk, but it hurt when the child was eating. She asked Aunt Wang and learned that she had to wash it with salt water before pregnancy, so that it would be more comfortable.

She had only started doing it recently, but it was already hurting.

In her random thoughts, Shen Mingzhi fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after she washed up, she also changed the clothes for Zhou Zhou and Nian Nian.

From six thirty to seven thirty, she didn’t wait for Jiang Shaochen.

She had no choice but to put the two children in the bamboo basket and carried them to the health center.

There were also many couples taking their children for physical examinations in the morning.

Shen Mingzhi carrying two children undoubtedly became the most eye-catching in the pediatrics department.

“Where’s your man, why are you carrying two children to the hospital alone? Looking at the two, they’re about the same age, are they twins?” An old woman holding her grandson asked her.

Shen Mingzhi had been stood up, and hadn’t even eaten breakfast in the morning, and was sulking. Hearing this, she smiled, “He’s busy. They’re a pair of twins.”

While speaking, a couple walked in to examine their child.

“Daddy… does the injection hurt?” The little girl held in her father’s arms asked with a naive tone.

Originally, Shen Mingzhi felt that it was no problem for her to support the children without a father, but the little girl’s soft voice still made her feel concern.

She also didn’t know what problems Jiang Shaochen had encountered, and whether they could really be a couple for a lifetime.

Suppose, they get divorced in the future?

Zhou Zhou and Nian Nian would have no father, would they envy children with fathers?

Shen Mingzhi stood by the door with a carrying pole, and while thinking wildly, she saw people who were husbands accompany them throughout the whole process. And Jiang Shaochen, it was he who said it last night, but today she waited for him for an hour and didn’t wait for anyone.

After examining the two children, it was almost eleven o’clock.

Shen Mingzhi’s stomach was rumbling from hunger.

Carrying the two children out of the health center, she walked back in a depressed mood.

Originally, Shen Mingzhi didn’t expect anything when Jiang Shaochen didn’t say he was coming to pick up the children for a physical examination last night.

Who knew that she was full of hope this morning, but he didn’t come.
