Nanny He sighed quietly and continued, “There was a time when Master was in a worrying state. He seldom went to work and rarely spoke. Sometimes, he never ate anything and cooped himself up in his room for most of the day.”

Shen Manting listened without saying a word. She shifted her glance to the infant.

The infant was fast asleep. Although his facial features were not yet fully formed, his nose and mouth bore an uncanny resemblance to Shen Luo’an’s.

“I’ll be going out, Miss. Mr. and Mrs. Shen will be home soon,” said Nanny He.

Shen Manting nodded and began to tidy up the infant’s belongings.

True enough, Shen Longyue and Mrs. Shen returned home not long after.

The couple asked Nanny He about the infant as soon as they stepped into the house.

Mrs. Shen walked into Shen Luo’an’s room with a sympathetic expression on her face. She was taken aback when she saw Shen Manting inside.

Shen Manting smiled awkwardly and greeted her, “Hello, Mrs. Shen. It’s been a while since we last met.”

Mrs. Shen gradually regained her composure and stared at her in disbelief, before turning around to exclaim, “Longyue! Manting is back!”

Shen Longyue was setting down his briefcase outside when he heard his wife calling out to him.

He strode over to her. He, too, was shocked at the sight of Shen Manting.

Then, a smile spread across his serene face. He uttered tentatively, “Manting?”

Shen Manting nodded awkwardly. She smiled and replied, “Yes, Sir.”

The smile on Shen Longyue’s face froze when he heard her greet him with such a formal, impersonal salutation.

He turned to glance at Mrs. Shen and noticed that she looked sad as well.

Mrs. Shen approached Shen Manting and observed her up close, saying, “Look at you, you’ve become so thin. We’re your parents. Why don’t you address us like you used to?”

Shen Manting bit her lip without saying anything.

Shen Longyue sighed and walked over to the crib.

He reached out to touch the infant and declared, “Thank goodness his fever has subsided.”

Shen Manting looked at them and said, “You should take a rest. Just leave him to me. From now on… I’m the baby’s nanny.”

Shen Longyue looked appalled. “What did you say? Why would you deserve to be a nanny?”

On the other hand, Mrs. Shen looked pleased and said, “Do you mean that you’ll be staying here to take care of the baby?”

Truth be told, Shen Manting hadn’t thought of a definite answer to this question.

Without nodding or shaking her head, she simply affirmed, “I’ll look after the baby.”

As for how long she’ll be staying, she wasn’t sure yet.

Perhaps half a year, a year, or only a few months.

She was not a rightful member of the Shen family, after all. She couldn’t take the child away with her. She wouldn’t take away anything else from the house either.

Mrs. Shen was delighted. She looked at Shen Manting and said, “This is great news! I’ll ask Nanny He to prepare more delectable dishes for a celebratory spread.”

“Sir, Madam, there’s no need for that.” Shen Manting looked at them. “Shen Luo’an enlisted my help to be a nanny, so I’ll fulfill my role as a nanny, nothing else. The nanny’s room has been tidied up for my stay. I’ve moved in today.”

Mrs. Shen’s heart ached for her. She stomped her feet in frustration and said, “How could this happen to you? Please don’t talk like this, Manting. It upsets me to hear you say that.”

Shen Longyue felt the same. He frowned and shook his head. “You don’t deserve to be a nanny. Now that you’re back home, you should stay in your own room!”

“Yes, Manting.” Mrs. Shen grasped her hands in hers. “You’re the child’s mother. Indeed, Luo’an made a mistake before. He has been waiting for a chance to make it up to you. How about… you give the baby a proper home with Luo’an?”
