You're the one who wants to marry a mistress, and I'm marrying someone else, yet you still

"Cough cough..."

Xie Wanru's sudden soft cough drew everyone's attention.

"Has Madam Shen caught a chill?"

Xiao Long asked politely.

Xie Wanru pretended to look at Xiao Long, but her gaze was actually fixed on Shen Cong'an lying behind Xiao Long.

"It's alright, brother... it seems brother made a move!"

Xie Wanru waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, but the next moment she showed a look of surprise.

Everyone turned their attention to Shen Cong'an, who had been asleep for nearly two years.

"Impossible... How could my brother wake up?"

Shen Nian'an blurted out her words unconsciously, and Xie Wanru's lips curled into a cold smile. Just how stupid must she have been in her past life to be deceived by this kind of person?

Compared to Shen Nian'an's untimely remark, everyone was more surprised by Shen Cong'an's entire hand moving.

Shen Cong'an raised his right hand halfway up the air, then gently lowered it...

“Nian’an…”

Shen Zhan was somewhat excited, but made no other move.

"Dongzhu! Quickly send someone to fetch Doctor Huo! Hurry!" Xie Wanru shouted loudly to the outside.

Shen Zhan was brought back to his senses by Xie Wanru's shout. He quickly walked to the bedside, and Shen Mo, who had been making a scene in the crowd, also quietly squeezed in.

Xie Wanru looked at Shen Mo, who had squeezed inside, with some surprise. This child really cared about Shen Cong'an's safety.

She had originally intended to step forward to prevent anyone from harming Shen Cong'an at this moment, but now it seemed that she didn't need to.

"Father……"

Shen Mo's somewhat childish voice rang out, very softly, yet everyone in the room heard it.

Xiao Long looked Shen Mo up and down. When did Brother Shen have such a big son?

"You are……"

Shen Cong'an regained consciousness slightly and turned his head to look at the small person beside the bed.

"My name is Shen Mo, and I am your stepson..."

Shen Mo's voice was very soft. In this family, only Aunt Wan liked him. He was afraid that his father, like everyone else, did not like him.

"Then I will call you Mo'er."

Shen Cong'an gently touched Shen Mo's face, trying to sit up, but it was difficult.

"Brother Nian'an, slow down."

Xiao Long then spoke up, personally helping Shen Cong'an up.

When Shen Cong'an saw him, he looked extremely frightened.

"His Royal Highness!"

Shen Cong'an was about to get up and bow when Xiao Long immediately helped him up, telling him not to be so formal.

"It's so good that you're awake. There's no need for such formalities."

Xiao Long unexpectedly became the happiest person present, since everyone else inevitably had their own thoughts.

Xie Wanru was very satisfied with Shen Cong'an's performance after waking up; it was quite realistic. However, she could only praise this "big brother" in her heart and could not show it.

Then Doctor Huo arrived and gave Shen Cong'an a thorough examination.

As Doctor Huo carefully examined the pulse, his brows furrowed and relaxed at times, leaving everyone puzzled. Finally, a relieved smile broke the solemnity in the room.

"Young Master Shen, although your pulse is weak, it shows signs of life, and your slumber is showing great improvement. However, you will need careful recuperation and my prescription to help you fully recover."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cong'an revealed the joy of rebirth, looked gratefully at Doctor Huo, and then turned to Shen Nian'an, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

“Nian’an, I am so grateful to you for taking care of my father and mother during the days I was in a deep sleep. If it weren’t for your meticulous care, I probably wouldn’t have woken up.”

He spoke with an honest expression, which made Shen Nian'an slow to respond.

Xie Wanru smiled slightly, a smile tinged with sarcasm. Her "elder brother" really did have a sharp mind.

"Brother, you flatter us. Family members should support each other. Your awakening is the greatest blessing for our Shen family."

Shen Nian'an stood to the side, her expression somewhat complicated as she spoke, feigning joy.

Shen Zhan nodded gently, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

He seemed to have sensed something, but didn't know how to deal with it, so he did nothing.

Only then did Madam Shen approach, seemingly with heartache, and grasp Shen Cong'an's hand.

“Nian’an, our Shen family should always be united.”

Seeing this, Shen Mo also mustered up his courage, walked up to Shen Cong'an, looked up, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Father, I will study hard and not let you down. You must get better."

Shen Cong'an reached out and gently patted Shen Mo's shoulder, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

"Mo'er, you are so good. It is my blessing to have a child like you."

Inside the room, the atmosphere gradually became warm and harmonious.

Xiao Long watched this scene from the side, feeling quite emotional. He had just sensed something unusual, but he couldn't guess what it was.

He could only step forward and pat Shen Cong'an on the shoulder. "Brother Shen, your awakening is not only a blessing for the Shen family, but also for all of us. I hope that soon you can once again share my burdens and solve my problems, just like before."

His meaning was very direct, because before Shen Cong'an fell into a coma, whenever he had any doubts, he would gather a few people to discuss them together, and the problems would be resolved quickly.

But later, when Shen Cong'an fell into a coma, Xiao Long realized that among that group of people, only Shen Cong'an was mentally sharp. Without him, the words of those other people were useless.

Shen Cong'an nodded, his gaze resolute.

“Your Highness, I will do my utmost to assist you from Anding.”

In the corner, Shen Nian'an clenched his fists, wishing he could strangle the man surrounded by the crowd. He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to keep this man alive.

If he had been killed earlier, His Highness the Crown Prince would be heavily relying on him now. He was too soft-hearted, which is why he turned out this way.

Xiao Long originally planned to stay for a while and then leave so as not to disturb the Shen family's reunion, but Old Madam Shen said that the meal had been prepared, and he could not refuse, so he had no choice but to stay.

Moreover, he did indeed intend to cultivate the Shen family and make them his support.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Xiao Long agreed and then spoke a few more words with Shen Cong'an.

Although Shen Cong'an had woken up, he had been asleep for so long that his hands and feet were still a little stiff, making it inconvenient for him to attend the gathering. So Shen Mo said he would stay and keep him company.

Even after everyone had left, Shen Cong'an and Xie Wanru maintained a distant, unfamiliar relationship.

Shen Cong'an also got the answer in his heart from the reactions of everyone present. Whether it was his father, who was a marquis, or his mother, whom he had called for nearly twenty years, they were nothing special. Heh.

"Mo'er, you've worked hard."

Shen Cong'an touched Shen Mo's hand with a touch of heartache.

His hands were indeed saved thanks to Doctor Huo's treatment, but they still had some scars, pinkish like earthworms, which were not very attractive.

“Mo’er is no longer in pain. Grandpa Huo’s medical skills are excellent. He was able to cure Mo’er and also cure Father. Let me massage Father.”

Shen Mo looked completely innocent. From this day forward, he truly had a father, and his father didn't seem to dislike him.
