Chapter 2104: Movies Aren’t Real but the Emotions That I’m Feeling Are
Nanny He looked fondly at Shen Manting’s lithe figure.

She could not help but smile. She then realised what she was doing, looked down in embarrassment and turned away from the couple.

Shen Luo’an was shocked but when he caught a whiff of her faint scent, a smile quickly lit up his face.

He reached out his arms to hug her back and could easily sense her myriad of emotions – agitation, joy and excitement.

“You’re back!” Shen Manting exclaimed as she lifted her head up to look at him. She smiled in excitement before asking, “Where’s the cake?”

Shen Luo’an intentionally pulled a long face and teased, “I thought you missed me but it turns out that you’re only thinking about your cake!”

Shen Manting was not the least bit embarrassed by the fact that he had exposed her. Instead, she smiled with excitement and could not help but jump with joy while exclaiming, “Quick, quick! The cake!”

Shen Luo’an then noticed that her eyes were slightly red and puffy.

“You cried?” he asked.

He caressed her face gently and gazed at her tenderly.

Shen Manting pouted and said, “I was watching a movie just now. It’s that movie about war and romance we didn’t finish that night. Bonnie Butler died and I was devastated.”

Shen Luo’an could not help but laugh out loud when he heard what she said, it was such an innocent statement, he then chuckled out, “Movies aren’t real. To think that you can actually cry over it.”

“Hmm…” Shen Manting frowned and whined, “Movies aren’t real but the emotions that I’m feeling are and I’m very sad. I’m really sad…”

Shen Luo’an seemed to think of something when he heard what she said.

He took a second look at her before finally saying, “I see.”

He then took out the cake and placed it on the table before he said, “I bought a cake with four flavours combined together. There is chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and matcha flavoured slices all in one cake!”

Shen Manting immediately felt like drooling when he started describing it, she could barely contain herself and wanted to eat the cake immediately. “Quick, quick, quick! I want to eat it!” she said impatiently.

“Let’s have lunch first,” Nanny He suggested. “Sir and Madam will not be back today and Old Madam brought Xiao Yue’er out to play. We’re the only ones having lunch at home so there’ll definitely be leftovers if we eat the cake first,” she said.

“It’s alright. We can have a bite or two first,” said Shen Luo’an as he carefully opened up the cake box to reveal an exquisite tetra-colored cake.

All types of beautiful fruits were on the cake and just as Shen Luo’an opened the cake box, a delicious scent immediately wafted out of it, filling up the room.

Shen Manting was so close to drooling and looked like a glutton as she was extremely mesmerised by the cake.

Shen Luo’an picked up a plastic knife to cut a slice of cake for Shen Manting before asking her, “What flavor do you want?”

“Strawberry!” Shen Manting replied without hesitation.

Shen Luo’an who had already anticipated this immediately he cut her a slice of strawberry flavored cake, Shen Manting quickly took it from him.

She held up the cake with a fork and hurriedly took a bite.

A look of bliss took over her features, she then stomped her foot in excitement as she joyously exclaimed, “It’s delicious!”

“Have more of it then,” Shen Luo’an said as he smiled fondly at her. “But remember that you still have to eat lunch. You can’t just fill yourself with cake.”

“I know, I know!” Shen Manting acknowledged.

Nonetheless, she could not stop herself from having two more slices of cake although she agreed to eat in moderation so she could still eat lunch.

She ate the chocolate flavored cake next, followed by the vanilla one. However, just when she was about to have the matcha flavored cake, Nanny He immediately stopped her from eating it.

“Have your lunch first. Stop eating the cake. It’s not good for the stomach if you only have cake,” said Nanny He sternly.

Shen Luo’an finally stopped Shen Manting from eating another slice as well.

Shen Manting continued to gaze longingly at the cake but eventually reached out for the rice on the table.

After lunch, Shen Manting did not want to watch the movie anymore. Instead, she clung onto Shen Luo’an’s arm and asked, “Dear, could you bring me to your workplace to have a look?”

“Why do you suddenly want to go there?” he asked.

“I’m just curious. There must be many tubes in the laboratory as well as those beeping machines that we see on TV, right?” she questioned.
