Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Continuous Shocks

Seeing Dou Dou suddenly disappear and conjuring a Yin Wind, she turned and ran.

Duoduo and Xiao Yue instinctively hid their forms too, but they did not harness the Yin Wind to escape, after all, Shen Siyuan was still sitting here.

The three who were just startled had yet to calm down when they were shocked again.

Three fully grown people just vanished into thin air like that?

And Jiang Taoshi couldn’t help but shout "Dou Dou."

"Alright, no need to hide anymore," Shen Siyuan said somewhat helplessly.

He never expected this to happen, and since they had been discovered, hiding now seemed meaningless.

The secret couldn’t be kept anyway, unless he erased their memories, but he didn’t have that ability now, and there wasn’t really anything worth hiding, considering they were going to be in frequent contact and would find out sooner or later.

As soon as they heard Shen Siyuan, Duoduo and Xiao Yue immediately reappeared.

Duoduo still wore a puzzled little expression, completely unaware of what was happening.

Xiao Yue, feeling a bit embarrassed, called out "Brother" and then timidly hid behind Duoduo, not very accustomed to crowds.

"It’s okay," Shen Siyuan reassured them.

Then, he asked Ruan Hongzhuang to arrange chairs for everyone to sit.

"This is Lin Yunduo, Uncle Lin’s daughter," Shen Siyuan pointed at Duoduo and formally introduced her to the three.

"Duoduo, come over to Mommy," Song Qingwei smiled and beckoned to Duoduo.

Ruan Xiangqian, Jiang Yingxue, and the somewhat confused Jiang Taoshi were all curiously observing Duoduo.

Duoduo quickly burrowed into her mother’s arms.

Shen Siyuan then pointed at Xiao Yue and said, "This is Yin Xingyue, my sister."

Hearing this, everyone was a bit surprised, Xiao Yue included.

On the other hand, Ruan Hongzhuang remained calm as ever, walked over, and pulled Xiao Yue to sit next to her.

"And that little one who ran off, is called Tao Hongdou, nickname Dou Dou..."

Shen Siyuan said with a smile, then suddenly reached out into the void.

Suddenly, a Yin Wind arose from the ground, lifting everyone’s clothes and hair.

Next, a little rascal appeared out of nowhere in Shen Siyuan’s hand.

"Oh~"

Dou Dou was a bit dazed; she was clearly flying home through the air, so how did she end up back here all of a sudden?

But her little mind couldn’t ponder so much, and upon turning her head, she saw Potato staring right at her, instantly panicking.

"Potato, hi~"

She was hanging mid-air, waved her little hands, and her legs flailed about.

"Dou Dou?"

Jiang Taoshi subconsciously called out, her face full of surprise, feeling like she was dreaming.

"Hi, Aunt~"

Hearing her, Dou Dou turned her head and waved at Jiang Taoshi.

But just then, she noticed Shen Siyuan retracting his arm, and she immediately panicked.

Seemingly aware of her forthcoming fate, she quickly stretched out four little fingers.

"Potato... just on the buttocks, can you just hit the buttocks?"

Hearing this, everyone seeing her adorable demeanor wanted to laugh, but felt it was not the time, so they held it in.

Shen Siyuan put her on his lap and gave her little buttocks a few "pia~pia~."

Each time he hit, she would howl immediately.

Everyone could tell that Shen Siyuan was not really hitting hard; she was just pretending to wail.

Indeed, as soon as Shen Siyuan stopped, she ceased wailing too, and like a little turtle, raised her neck, looking at everyone puzzled, "Was it on the buttocks?"

This time, everyone could no longer hold back and burst into laughter collectively.

At this time, Jiang Taoshi also approached Shen Siyuan, feeling a bit nervous and cautious, "Can you give Dou Dou to me?"

While she spoke, she kept glancing at Ruan Hongzhuang sitting nearby, as if hoping Ruan Hongzhuang would speak up for her; yet Ruan Hongzhuang just smiled at her, leaving her confused about her intentions.

"Aunt, I missed you, did you miss me?"

Dou Dou thus lay on Shen Siyuan’s lap, looking up and chatting with Jiang Taoshi.

Shen Siyuan directly picked her up and handed her over to Jiang Taoshi.

Jiang Taoshi hurriedly stretched out her hands to catch her, holding her in her arms, carefully examining her to confirm whether it was really her own Dou Dou.

This appearance, these eyebrows and eyes, this way of talking and moving, if it isn’t her Dou Dou, then who else could it be?

"Dou Dou."

Jiang Taoshi called out, and tears began streaming down her cheeks.

In fact, Dou Dou looked very much like her, and Jiang Taoshi liked her the most. Ever since her cousin Jiang Wenxin had Dou Dou, Jiang Taoshi, who previously didn’t visit often, started going to her place every day, just to see Dou Dou.

After Dou Dou died in an accident, it left her heartbroken, not going out for over half a month.

"Aunt, don’t cry."

Dou Dou reached out to wipe Jiang Taoshi’s tears, making her cry even harder.

Ruan Hongzhuang stood up to comfort her, and Jiang Taoshi seemed to suddenly remember something, looking at her somewhat resentfully.

Choking up, she asked, "Did you know about this all along?"

Ruan Hongzhuang nodded and explained, "I haven’t known for long."

But this still made Jiang Taoshi feel wronged and angry, "You clearly knew how much I liked Dou Dou, yet you still kept it from me."

So she held Dou Dou and angrily said, "Let’s go, Dou Dou, Aunt will take you home, to find your dad and mom."

Ruan Hongzhuang felt somewhat helpless and said, "Do you think, her parents might know?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taoshi wiped her tears and asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"

Ruan Hongzhuang looked towards Shen Siyuan, wanting him to explain.

As Jiang Taoshi followed her gaze to look at Shen Siyuan, at that moment, a lightbulb went off in her head, and she suddenly realized.

"Because of Dou Dou, Sister Wenxin introduced me to you?" She widened her eyes, a look of realization crossing her face.

Then she immediately turned her head and glared angrily at Ruan Hongzhuang, who quietly turned her head away, not daring to make eye contact.

No wonder she never got along with Shen Siyuan, no wonder Sister Wenxin was so mad, no wonder Ruan Hongzhuang had hints in her words, probing if she wouldn’t blame her for stealing her boyfriend, now everything made sense.

Shen Siyuan smiled and nodded, then said, "Sit down and eat first, we can talk about the issues slowly."

At that moment, Jiang Yingxue also stood up, pulling Jiang Taoshi, "Taozi, eat first, Aunt also wants to know what’s going on."

Respecting Jiang Yingxue and being genuinely curious, Jiang Taoshi sat down again holding Dou Dou.

"Let’s talk about any issues after eating," Shen Siyuan invited everyone.

Jiang Taoshi hesitated with her lips pursed, ultimately she didn’t speak and joined everyone in eating first. She picked a piece of roast meat, knowing Dou Dou loved it, and held it to her mouth.

But Dou Dou didn’t open her mouth, just took a deep breath.

Jiang Taoshi asked in surprise, "Why aren’t you eating? I thought you loved this."

Dou Dou gave her a look as if she were looking at a fool.

"How can a ghost eat? Aunt, are you silly?"

Hearing this, Jiang Taoshi’s chopsticks trembled, the roast meat fell, but Dou Dou quickly caught it and stuffed it near her mouth.

"Aunt, you eat."

Jiang Taoshi instinctively opened her mouth, but when she tasted it, it felt like chewing wax.

Not only she was startled by Dou Dou’s words, Ruan Xiangqian and Jiang Yingxue were also taken aback, almost not managing to hold their food steady.

The couple exchanged a questioning look with Ruan Hongzhuang, only to see her nodding quietly.

While the couple was surprised, they also felt curious and frightened; their emotions were complex.

At this time, Lin Jianming raised his glass, drank with everyone, and then started talking about his own experiences jokingly.

Seeing the atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat somber, he used this method to help explain for Shen Siyuan.

When he mentioned that he had been the Public Security Director of Bin Hai City over thirty years ago, everyone was shocked.

Upon hearing that a prisoner had kidnapped his daughter in revenge, Ruan Xiangqian and the others immediately looked at Duoduo sitting next to him.

"You guessed right, it’s Duoduo," Lin Jianming said affectionately as he patted Duoduo’s head.

"That criminal was ruthless, he directly killed Duoduo, and we were separated for over thirty years, all thanks to Mr. Shen..." Lin Jianming said, feeling emotional.

Duoduo chimed in from the side, "The big bad guy chopped off my head."

Seemingly to prove her dad wasn’t lying, she held her cheeks, lifted upward, and directly pulled off her head, then placed it on the table.

The mouth still making noises: "Hi, hi, hi..."

Then there was a series of clanging sounds. Not to mention Ruan Xiangqian and others, even Ruan Hongzhuang was frightened and leaned back.

Shen Siyuan covered his face; it seemed this meal was not going to be finished.
