The 99th Divorce

Suddenly, the baby struggled for a moment and started to cry.

Shen Manting felt his tiny bottom, and when she realized it was wet, she changed his diaper.

Shen Manting had a hard time sleeping, and only managed to fall asleep when it was midnight.

But because the baby woke up a few times in the middle of the night, she didn’t get a good night’s rest.

The next morning, she was woken up by a noise.

When she got up and opened the door, she saw that Shen Luo’an had also just woken up.

“Did you have a good night’s sleep?” Shen Luo’an looked at her. “We can eat now.”

As Shen Luo’an spoke, his eyes glanced over at her bed.

Put on guard, she blocked his line of sight and nodded her head. “Got it.”

Shen Luo’an gave her a profound look and said, “I want to see the baby.”

Shen Manting blocked the entrance to the room and said softly, “He’s still asleep. Don’t bother him.”

Shen Luo’an seemed slightly displeased, but he didn’t say anything, and turned around and left.

After a while, Shen Manting put on her cotton slippers and walked out of the room.

Shen Luo’an looked up and was slightly disappointed when he realized that she hadn’t carried the baby out with her.

A middle-aged lady was seated next to him, and when she noticed that Shen Manting was only dressed in her pajamas, she exclaimed, “Why are you so lightly dressed? What if you catch a cold? That won’t do. Hurry and put on a coat.”

As she spoke, she gave Shen Luo’an a nudge and said, “Quick, get your wife some clothes.”

Shen Manting was instantly alert, and she said, “That’s not necessary. I’ll get it myself.”

“You’re still under confinement, so you shouldn’t walk around. Just sit here.” The middle-aged lady sounded slightly reproachful as she said, “Men should be ordered around. If you did everything yourself, then what would your man be left with to do?”

Shen Manting clenched her teeth and said, “But he’s not…”

“Sit down.” Shen Luo’an glanced at her. “I’ll get it.”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked toward the room.

After he opened the door and took out the down jacket from yesterday, he couldn’t help but stop beside the bed.

He squatted down and looked at the obedient and delicate-looking baby.

At one glance, the baby’s features actually seemed very identical to his.

Shen Luo’an inevitably felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and he reached out his finger and gently poked the baby’s tiny face.

But the baby was asleep and completely oblivious to him.

But Shen Luo’an felt that his entire life was complete, and he couldn’t help but grin.

Shen Manting waited for a long time outside the room and felt a sense of foreboding in her heart.

Just when she was about to get up, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside the room.

Shen Luo’an was holding a down jacket. “Wear this,” he said.

After Shen Manting accepted it, she looked at the middle-aged lady and said, “Madam Lin, let’s eat.”

“Sure, coming right up.” Madam Lin served the porridge she’d just prepared and said, “A woman’s energy levels are greatly diminished after childbirth, so you’ll need more nourishment.”

Shen Manting lifted her head up and saw a slice of unidentified meat floating inside the pot, accompanied by a few pieces of vegetables.

It looked kind of gross, but it smelled pretty good.

Madam Lin served Shen Manting a bowl of it and said, “Here, have a taste.”

“What is this?” Shen Manting sniffed it but couldn’t tell what it was.

Madam Lin didn’t tell her what was in it, and merely said, “Try it first.”

Shen Manting drank a mouthful of it. “It’s pretty fragrant and sweet, and very fresh.”

“Does it taste good?” she asked.

“Yes, it’s not bad.”

Madam Lin grinned and said, “Have more if you like. Here, there’s more in the pot.”

Shen Manting was pretty hungry, and she drank down two bowls of it before saying, “It’s delicious. What meat is this? It’s pretty smooth. Is it toad meat?”

Madam Lin smiled and shook her head. “It’s snake meat.”
