Chapter 643
He raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows rising, “Sometimes fists work better than reason, I’ll have Chen Yi get in touch, the Four Seasons will be five soon and can be sent to taekwondo.”
I pursed my lips and didn’t say anything else, in any case he had a point either way.
When we got back to the house, he played with the Four Seasons while I cooked, and no one brought up the matter of Nan Xiangxiang.
It was only after we finished eating and the four seasons were asleep that he looked at me, his eyes deep and dark, and fiercely embraced me.
His voice was hoarse as he said, “Where did you go just now?”
I leaned into his arms, allowing him to hold me tightly, and was silent for a while before saying, “I went to Gu to look for Gu Han.”
He stiffened slightly, his voice dark, “Looking for him for what?”
“Just to talk!” What should I say to him? I couldn’t find the right words for a moment, so I simply chose to avoid it.
He didn’t force me, he just said after a moment of silence, “Wherever you go from now on, keep your phone on you and remember to keep it open afterwards.”
I froze for a moment and reacted with hindsight, as if my phone had run out of battery today, so after I went to Gu’s, the phone was switched off.
Tilting my head to look at him, I smiled lightly, “Okay!”
He put his arm around me, his emotions somewhat suppressed, “I’ll handle Nan Xiangxiang’s matter, Shen Shu, no matter what others say to you, you must remember that I am your husband and the father of your child.”
Looking at his sudden seriousness, I froze for a moment and after a pause said, “Actually I don’t care that much about what people say, I’m just worried about the Four Seasons, she has to go to school, she’s very sensitive and hearing those nonsense words at school will affect her.”
He buried his head in the crook of my neck and blamed himself a little, “That won’t happen again.”
I smiled, I was at the top of the pyramid, in the limelight, admired, and naturally subject to gossip, abuse and blame.
The incident of Nan Xiangxiang was suppressed in just a few days, it was just a passing cloud, people were in a hurry, they all had their own lives to run, no one wasted too much time for other people’s gossip.
In mid-September, Fu Shenyan redecorated the villa in the southern suburbs, and in order to give the Four Seasons a better environment, he re-schooled her.
I only found out later that the original kindergarten had been censored by the Education Bureau for some unknown reason.
These things had more or less nothing to do with me, but it was just a matter of words.
At the weekend, Fu Shen Yan asked Chen Yi to move my things for the four seasons.
I didn’t have anything, so it was basically just a change of place to live, I didn’t feel much.
After the move, in the evening, Fu Shen Yan called, his voice warm, “Chen Yi will send food over later, you might want to cook a few dishes.”
I nodded, the family’s nanny had been sacked by Fu Shen Yan after the last inexplicable visit of Fu Qingyin.
So on weekdays we just had a bellhop come over and clean up a bit, meals were cooked occasionally, Fu Shen Yan and I both cooked and cooked for ourselves when we had time, and the days were quite leisurely.
After a pause, he spoke, “You need to prepare more, I’m still in a meeting, Chen Yi will come to help you, and we have guests coming over for dinner at home tonight.”
I froze for a moment and couldn’t help but say, “Is it someone you know?”
He gave an encore and said with a light smile, “It’s all family, just make some home-cooked food.”
When I hung up the phone, I was a bit puzzled, I had just moved to a new home, who would come over for dinner?
Chapter 644
Chen Yi brought over quite a few dishes and pastries, and when he saw that I had set up quite a few books in the living room, he said as he moved things around, “Is madam preparing for the exam?”
I nodded, “I’ve always wanted to take it before, but I delayed it because of many things, now I just have time to take it, it’s idle.”
He smiled, “That’s good, it’s nice to be able to do something you love.”
I laughed, it was really rare that Chen Yi, who had always been a high strung straight man, would also say such things.
When Fu Shen Yan came back, I had only just washed the vegetables and prepared them for cooking when he came back with the Four Seasons.
Seeing me in the kitchen, his slender figure wrapped his arms around me from behind and looked at me lingeringly, “Every time I see you in the kitchen, I think to myself, I should be the happiest man in the world.”
I couldn’t help but laugh, “Poor talker, who’s coming over later.”
“Shen Yu and his fiancée, your sister-in-law.” He spoke, a smile spilling out of the corners of his mouth, and when he saw my sideways glance at him, he kissed down smoothly.
I was speechless for a moment and avoided him, “The Four Seasons and Chen Yi are here, don’t make a scene.”
His voice was low and dark, “Just five seconds!”
But it wasn’t five seconds, and if the pan hadn’t been so mushy, it would have been several more.
When the meal was ready, the sound of a car whistle came from outside the courtyard, the Four Seasons were lively and ran towards the outside when they heard the sound.
When she saw Shen Yu coming down from the car, she jumped on him without even thinking, shouting softly, “Uncle!”
Shen Yu took the four seasons in his arms, and then did not forget to open the door on the passenger seat.
I guessed for a long time that the woman would be Hu Ya.
I hadn’t seen her many times, and now when I saw her again after four years, she still had the same gentle and elegant temperament, and her usual favourite cheongsam had been replaced by a somewhat loose dress.
She was a familiar face.
She looked at me and smiled lightly, “Miss Shen, it’s been a long time.”
I froze for a moment, then I also came back to my senses and walked up to pull her, I couldn’t help but say, “It’s been a long time, the food is ready, let’s eat first.”
The four of us sat down, Shen Yu looked at Fu Shen Yan, her eyes fell on me, “Don’t move if you’re used to living in that house downtown, a house needs to be lived in regularly to be popular.”
I froze for a moment, it was obvious that he meant for me not to live with Fu Shen Yan.
Fu Shen Yan is what kind of person, how could he not hear it, faintly converge his eyebrows, light smile, clip a piece of meat into my bowl, “Eat more, you have lost weight these days.”
The implication was that I was living alone over there and had no one to take care of me, so I had lost weight.
I was silent and pursed my lips, originally these two could have a good meal, now it seems that I was thinking too much.
Naturally, the four seasons could not hear these words between the adults, perhaps because children like to be near pregnant women, so they followed Hu Ya’s conversation.
The little one, sometimes extraordinarily precocious, with a soft and sticky voice, pulled Hu Ya and said, “Auntie, do I have to change my name to your aunt?”
As soon as her words came out, Shen Yu’s attention was originally diverted from me.
Instead, he looked at the four seasons and said, “Be a good boy, uncle will give you whatever you want to eat, don’t pester auntie.”
The four seasons is not dead, tilted his head to look at him and said, “Uncle, mother said you married a daughter-in-law, after that I have to change my name to aunt, you and aunt to get married?”
Shen Yu frowned and pursed his lips, “Children need to eat more and talk less!”
Obviously these words were not willing to let Four Seasons talk more and ask more questions.
The people at the table, all heard it.
