The 99th Divorce

Needless to say, Shen Luo’an got less sleep than usual that night.

It was half past six in the morning.

He was used to getting up early, so he couldn’t fall asleep again even if he wanted to.

Shen Manting was still asleep.

Shen Luo’an yawned, then silently got up and went into the bathroom.

He looked into the mirror, and saw that there were visible black circles under both his eyes.

What a mess.

But he was happy.

After staring into the mirror for a while, he suddenly smiled.

“Are you crazy, Shen Luo’an?”

He reached out his hand and touched the mirror, then washed his face.

Shen Manting woke up after nine o’clock in the morning. She reached out her hand from habit to pat the space next to her, but it was empty!

She immediately opened her eyes and saw that the baby was gone.

She got up at once and ran out of the room barefoot, and saw Shen Luo’an sitting on the sofa.

He was holding a diaper in his hand and looked like he didn’t know what to do with it.

The baby was beside him. His small bottom was naked, and there was a thick cotton pad beneath him.

Shen Manting let out a great sigh of relief.

She quickly stepped forward and glanced at Shen Luo’an. “The baby will catch a cold this way!” she said.

“But his diaper was full, so I had to change it.” Shen Luo’an frowned and handed Shen Manting the diaper.

She saw it and took it.

Shen Luo’an instinctively made room for her, and Shen Manting took over.

She examined the baby and found that his little butt was clean.

She instinctively got the feeling that something was wrong. “What did you use to wipe his butt with?” she asked.

“Wipe?” Something suddenly dawned on him. “So you usually use a wipe to clean him?”

“Well, what did you think I did to clean him?” Shen Manting became even more shocked. “You’re not supposed to wash a baby directly under water, don’t you know that?”

When Shen Luo’an heard this, he felt a little guilty and didn’t say anything.

Shen Manting was irritated. She hit him with the clean diaper and snapped, “What if he catches a cold. Get out!”

Fuming, she immediately turned around to quickly put the diaper on the baby.

She was acting a bit cruel to him, and Shen Luo’an didn’t react for a while.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Manting was already done changing the baby.

Why did Shen Luo’an feel somewhat happy? It was an amazing feeling.

He looked at Shen Manting’s appearance and noticed that she hadn’t cleaned herself up yet.

Her face was pale, and she had a very ruffled, untidy appearance.

To be fair, in this state, Shen Manting was uglier than he’d ever seen her before.

But, inexplicably, Shen Luo’an was in a good mood.

Shen Manting quickly wrapped the baby up, then scooped him into her arms in distress and said, “Just… don’t bathe the baby from now on. Such a young baby will be in serious trouble if he catches a cold!”

Shen Luo’an didn’t answer, and merely glanced at the baby in her arms.

Shen Manting realized she may have come off as a bit harsh, and she felt a little uncomfortable. “I’ll wash my face first. Why didn’t Aunt Lin come?”

“I told her to take a rest today.” Shen Luo’an stood up. “What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it.”

“You still have the guts to eat out?” Shen Manting asked. “Those small restaurants aren’t very clean.”

“What does Aunt Lin usually make for you?”

“Porridge, but it takes a long time to make.”

“How long?”

“An hour or so,” Shen Manting said, glancing at him. “Forget it. You can buy it instead. I don’t want to wait that long.”

“Hungry?” Shen Luo’an thought of something and turned to open the cupboard. “I bought something yesterday that you could eat first.”
