"Now in your mind, do you think everything I say or do is wrong?"
There was obvious loneliness in Fang Yin's eyes.
He didn't know why things were like this between them.
Isn't trust the most important thing they have always emphasized?
"I didn't say that, and I never thought that."
Shen Yan explained a bit stiffly.
"I just feel that everyone has gone out to work, and I also have this need."
"Just think it's for me, no, even if it's for the children, aren't you willing to stay at home for a while?"
Fang Yin didn't even raise his head, because he was afraid of the obvious rejection on Shen Yan's face.
"No matter how busy you are, you will take your work home to do it. Why don't you support me to work now?"
Shen Yan was distracted for a moment. She always felt that Fang Yin just wanted to make herself a useless person.
"Because these are all my responsibilities, but I don't want you to bear so much pressure."
Shen Yan shook his head, not knowing how to continue explaining to Fang Yin.
"This is not pressure, this is just the responsibility I should bear as an adult.
Moreover, until now, I have not taken the babies back to show them to my parents.
Don’t you know how guilty I felt when they contacted me and told me that I was at work and couldn’t go back?”
"I have already said that we can go to your parents at any time and explain everything clearly.
But you always reject me, why are you blaming me now?"
It was precisely because Shen Yan always hesitated about going back to see her parents that Fang Yin felt even more uneasy.
He didn't know what this meant. He only knew that her parents were so important to her, but now he was unwilling to take them to meet them.
Didn't she think about their future?
Doesn't she want to have a future with him?
"If it were as simple as you say, that would be great.
Those are my parents. Have you ever thought about what they would think if they knew their only daughter had given birth outside the home without telling them?
The matter is not as simple as you think, and it cannot be solved by just taking the child to my parents."
"I know, it's just because I know they are important to you that I want to meet with them and resolve this matter.
Is it useful to simply withdraw?
I also know that the problem is difficult.
But you’ve delayed it for so long, won’t they be angry if they find out?”
Fang Yin thought that he was just telling a fact, but Shen Yan looked like how could he say that.
"Because they are my parents, that's why you think so.
If it were your parents, would you do the same thing?"
Shen Yan blurted out, and after finishing speaking, she remembered Fang Yin's parents.
"Oh, have you forgotten?
My biological father is still lying in the hospital, and my mother has passed away long ago.
That’s why I don’t have this problem.”
"...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I just -"
Fang Yin made a pause gesture.
"Of course I know you didn't mean it, that's all.
The two of us have some problems now, maybe it would be better for each other to calm down and then solve them."
Just like that, Shen Yan watched Fang Yin leave their room.
After Fang Yin went out, Shen Yan fell down beside the bed.
I had been chatting with neo for so long yesterday, but what were those things I just chatted with Fang Yin about?
The two of them almost started to quarrel.
They have never had a fight since they got together.
This was the first time that they had such serious differences on matters.
Of course, Shen Yan knew that every word he just said was filled with emotion.
If it hadn't been for Bai Yuqing yesterday, she wouldn't be so irritable now, just like a prickly hedgehog.
But Fang Yin was innocent. He didn't understand why he cared so much about Bai Yuqing's words.
He didn't know what he was thinking.
We obviously promised to communicate, but in the end, we didn’t tell him any of this, and instead they started arguing over another matter!
Shen Yan felt very speechless to herself.
Fang Yin went directly to the study room, also suffering from a headache.
Of course he knew how important Shen Yan's parents were to her.
He mentioned this matter after the babies were born, even though he hadn't even fallen in love with Shen Yan at that time.
But Shen Yan always had so many things to think about, and it was not convenient for the two of them to see their parents in that situation.
It turned out that she was wrong and gave birth to the child behind her parents' back.
Let alone bringing a man with whom she has no feelings at all. What kind of words does this sound like?
Later, Fang Yin didn't think about that memory, but he still fell in love with her.
Fang Yin brought up the matter again, but Shen Yan still refused.
She knew she was scared, and she couldn't imagine what her parents would look like when they saw the child he was holding.
She didn't dare to test it either.
So every time she had a video call with her parents, Shen Yan was always hanging in the study room.
And she also told them not to disturb her.
Shen Yan was afraid that her parents would hear something they shouldn't.
All along, Father Shen and Mother Shen really thought that their daughter was working in a big city.
Occasionally I miss my daughter, so I can only make a video call.
Shen Yan vaguely remembered the time when she tentatively mentioned the child on a video call, but she always used someone else's identity.
"Nanny, can you come back for the Chinese New Year this year?"
She remembered that she could not give an accurate answer at the time.
"I don't know either. I have to wait for the company's arrangements."
Father Shen stood by and helped her talk.
"After all, our daughter works for a big company, and there are so many fake things in a big company.
The time is wasted just by going back and forth, so why not let her have a good rest over there for a while."
Mother Shen complained a few words, "You are not the only one who cares about Nannan. I also know that it is inconvenient for her to come and go.
But I miss my daughter, don’t you?"
Father Shen fell silent after hearing her rhetorical question.
Of course he also belongs to the youngest daughter, but how can they, as parents, block their daughter's way forward?
No matter what, at least they cannot become a stumbling block on Shen Yan's progress.
We can't let her come back to them just because she misses two words.
Besides, she is just a small employee of the company now, so she doesn't have that much autonomy.
"Mom and Dad, I heard the other day that one of my junior high school classmates got married and had a baby.
Is it true?"
Mother Shen was a little surprised, "Which junior high school classmate were you? How come I haven't heard of it?"
"Oh, I can't remember it either, I just saw it by chance in the circle of friends."
"Oh, but you are the same age now.
At your age, many girls are already married.
Have our girls met a boy they like in school?"
When faced with this problem, Shen Yan could not deny it.
Father Shen saw it and kept asking questions.
"Shen Yan, are you in love?
Let me tell you, you need to tell your parents if you are dating outside?
No matter what, this is a major event in your life, so you must think about it well.
Also, if you feel wronged, you must tell your parents, you can’t hide it from us, you know?”
At that time, Shen Yan's throat felt astringent.
Unexpectedly, her parents' first reaction was to ensure her safety and to stop her from being wronged outside.
"...Don't worry, I will never let myself be wronged.
You should also take good care of your health at home."
Father Shen and Mother Shen nodded repeatedly.
"Mom knows you are very busy in the company, so don't come back if you don't have time.
When your father and I are free one day, we will go to your place to find you."
Mother Shen kept smiling when she said this, looking full of expectation.
But Shen Yan didn't dare to answer her call. She just said that she had something to do and hung up the phone in a hurry.
After hanging up the phone, it took Shen Yan a long time to calm down.
Although she looks weak on the outside, she rarely regrets the decisions she makes.
But at that moment she was really confused.
She didn't know whether her insistence on staying with Fang Yin and keeping the child was the right choice.
Now she has a home and can't go back, and she doesn't dare to take the child to see her parents. What on earth is this?
On the other end of the phone, Shen Yan didn't expect that her parents also fell silent after she hung up the phone.
"I feel like my daughter is not very happy there.
I don’t know if it’s because her colleagues in the company don’t have a good relationship with her, or because she’s been wronged by the person she’s talking to.”
Mother Shen sighed, her daughter had grown up and she didn't want to tell them these things, and they couldn't force her.
It's just inevitable that you will fall into a worried mood after hanging up the phone.
It was just the old couple who could talk.
Father Shen patted Mother Shen's shoulder to comfort her.
"Don't worry, our daughter is the smartest.
No matter what, she must be able to take care of herself, after all, she is so old."
Although he comforted his wife with his mouth, he was also beating a drum in his heart.
They could also notice just now that there was a hint of crying in their daughter's voice.
If she hadn't hung up the phone quickly, they would have started asking questions.
Maybe it was because of this that Shen Yan hung up the phone in a hurry.
Now that my children have grown up, I am not willing to talk to them about everything.
And they were originally just guides in the children's lives, and it was impossible to control their lives in every detail.
Children need freedom and their own space.
This is something the two of them have always insisted on.
…
Later, Fang Yin mentioned this kind of thing again, but Shen Yan still refused.
She really didn't know how to face her parents who loved him so much.
"The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, you have delayed it for long enough.
Let’s face it together, don’t be afraid, okay?”
Shen Yan waved away Fang Yin's hand, "I'm not afraid, I'm worried."
Shen Yan knew that no matter what, they would definitely accept it in the end.
