If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Mother Zhu felt the same way. She looked back and forth between the two of them and returned to the previous topic: "We still need to find someone to take a look. What if we can get it back?"

Zhu Mingchuan nodded emphatically. His wife was absolutely right. A daughter is always the best!

Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu also agreed.

Let Zhu Mingchuan handle this matter; Mother Zhu can rest assured.

After finishing his meal, Zhu Mingchuan immediately went to inquire about it.

The remaining three sat together, and Zhu Tingyue told her mother about her experiences during this period.

From her words, it was clear that she was doing well, which relieved Zhu's mother.

Looking at Shen Yanqiu, she said gently, "Little Shen, thank you for taking care of Yueyue."

Shen Yanqiu quickly waved her hand: "No, Mom, I didn't take good care of her. She did it all by herself, little by little. I'm sorry, we made you worry!"

As usual, Zhu Tingyue hugged her mother's neck tightly, her tall body buried in her mother's arms, looking like a little child.

Zhu's mother spoke in a coaxing tone, saying, "You! Still acting all cute! Xiao Shen will laugh at you!"

"He dares?" Zhu Tingyue answered without hesitation.

Shen Yanqiu also looked at her gently, as if to say, "I dare not."

Zhu's mother glanced at the two of them and asked casually, "When did you two meet?"

Zhu Tingyue felt guilty, and so did Shen Yanqiu.

The two lowered their heads and remained silent. Zhu's mother reached out and tapped Zhu Tingyue's head: "You! You're still hiding it from your mother! I noticed a long time ago! When Xiao Shen hurt his foot, you held onto him tightly and wouldn't let go at the hospital!"

Zhu Tingyue was completely unaware that her feelings had been revealed. Hearing her mother's words, her cheeks instantly flushed red. She lowered her head shyly, as if wanting to bury her face deep inside.

At this moment, Zhu Tingyue couldn't say a word. She just buried her head in her mother's warm embrace and acted like a child.

She gently rubbed against her mother's chest, trying to hide her inner panic and embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Shen Yanqiu looked guilty. His mother's sudden revelation had caught him off guard.

He stood to the side, looking somewhat at a loss, glancing at Zhu Tingyue and her daughter from time to time, observing their reactions.

He thought to himself: If that's the case, then I'd better have some self-awareness.

If you want to become someone's son-in-law, you have to be quite perceptive!

He stood up straight, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Mom, so you figured it out all along! We thought we were keeping it a secret!"

Zhu's mother looked at him with the same kind eyes: "I raised Yueyue, how could I not see the changes in her? Not to mention anything else, just your clothing styles are very different!"

Shen Yanqiu and Zhu Tingyue both thought of the dressing room full of dresses, which had probably all gathered dust since Shen Yanqiu arrived.

Zhu Tingyue laughed at him: "That's right! You never wear skirts, such a big flaw, isn't it obvious to everyone at a glance?"

Shen Yanqiu couldn't help but blush at the thought of himself wearing Zhu Tingyue's dress; he would never wear it!

His ears turned red, and he became shy in the face of Zhu Tingyue's teasing: "I already said, it's cold, I don't want to wear it. It's not like I suddenly stopped wearing it!"

He even came up with an excuse? Zhu Tingyue admired him; Shen Yanqiu was truly too comprehensive!

“Yes! He said it’s getting colder and he’s cold wearing skirts, so he had everyone change into trousers!” Zhu’s mother added, then changed the subject, “He even changed his nightgowns into pajama bottoms!”

"Mom, how did you know?" Shen Yanqiu asked, blushing.

"What do you mean you don't know? You must have gone to the wrong room on your very first night here! And you even said you were reminiscing about the past, you almost fooled me!"

Mother Zhu meticulously listed his flaws, one by one, one by one. Shen Yanqiu originally thought that what he did, if not flawless, should at least not be so easy to spot.

Little did anyone know, Zhu's mother had already suspected it from the very beginning!

Zhu Tingyue listened attentively to Shen Yanqiu's life during this period, finding everything amusing and funny to her.

Moreover, Shen Yanqiu, the person involved, was overcome with shame. When Zhu's mother said it, she blushed so much that she didn't dare to look at her at all.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. If you keep talking, Xiao Shen will get shy!" Seeing his expression, Zhu's mother kindly let him off the hook.

Shen Yanqiu said, feigning annoyance, "Mom, you've said everything!"

Zhu's mother was amused by his expression and burst into laughter. The gloom that had been hanging over her heart for days also dissipated. She patted his hand and said, "It's okay, Yueyue is not an outsider."

Shen Yanqiu paused. He couldn't bear to hear any more talk. Now that the truth was out, Zhu Tingyue was back. Who was he? Where was he going?

Zhu Tingyue keenly noticed his momentary hesitation, and couldn't help but tilt her head curiously, staring at him with her eyes, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

However, Shen Yanqiu simply shook her head slightly, a forced smile appearing on her lips, trying to conceal her true feelings.

His deep eyes held an unfathomable expression, as if he had a thousand words to say but hesitated to speak.

Zhu Tingyue was not someone who could be easily fooled. She stared intently into Shen Yanqiu's eyes, not daring to miss any subtle changes.

From his slightly stiff smile and evasive gaze, Zhu Tingyue felt more and more that things were not so simple.

His behavior at this moment was far too abnormal, and it could not be explained away by simply saying "I'm fine".

She wondered to herself what could have caused the usually calm and composed Shen Yanqiu to lose her composure like this.

But since Shen Yanqiu didn't say anything, she couldn't very well ask her directly in front of her mother.

In the time that followed, Zhu's mother noticed that Shen Yanqiu was absent-minded, so she made an excuse to leave. Let the young people handle their own affairs!

As soon as her mother left, Zhu Tingyue immediately asked Shen Yanqiu, "What's wrong? Is there something you can't know?"

Shen Yanqiu glanced at her, hesitated, and then said, "Now that Mom and Dad know you're Zhu Tingyue, you can come back!"

Zhu Tingyue nodded: "Yes, of course I can come back! Where else could I go?"

She saw that Shen Yanqiu looked unhappy. Was he unhappy that she was back?

A guess formed in her mind, and she leaned closer, staring straight into Shen Yanqiu's eyes: "You're not worried about what will happen to you, are you?"

Feeling embarrassed and annoyed that her secret had been exposed, Shen Yanqiu immediately admitted, "Yes, what should I do?"

Unexpectedly, it was true. Zhu Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief, stroked Shen Yanqiu's face, and looked at him affectionately: "Is there anything to worry about? You are Zhu Tingyue now! Of course you're in the Zhu family too!"
