Shen Huaisi was sitting in the first-class cabin. The plane had taken off ten minutes ago.
He lay down comfortably and rubbed his sore eyes tiredly. He finally managed to get his career on track. During the day, he supervised the online work, held meetings, and arranged all work matters. At night, he would do planning and organize information. He often slept less than a few hours a day. He rushed to work in the dark, hoping to get back to Snowbell's side as soon as possible.
He had been working hard for the past few days, but he had not forgotten that a strong enemy was planning to chase his wife away. He had also not forgotten how short and dangerous their marriage was. Although he looked very tired, he was in high spirits. Whenever he encountered a challenging job, he would work harder.
Now that the matter was finally settled, he could return to the country with peace of mind. He was looking forward to seeing Snowbell soon. Thinking of her mischievous eyes and sweet smile, he couldn't help but smile happily.
Suddenly, he noticed that people were looking at him strangely. He felt a little confused. Although there were few people, everyone gave him strange looks. He shrugged his shoulders and closed his eyes to rest.
At this moment, the lady sitting next to him handed him a magazine. Although he was puzzled, he still took it and read it. When he saw the photo and title, he immediately frowned and his expression became very stiff.
All of this could explain the strange phenomenon just now. She did not expect Lu Zhengfan to be interviewed by such a well-known magazine and say such words. It could be seen that he was very immersed and serious.
He returned the magazine to the lady and she smiled at him. "Don't take it to heart. Sometimes, the reports are distorted.”After thanking the young lady, he rubbed his aching temples and closed his eyes. He knew that there would be a headache waiting for him when he returned.
As soon as he got off the plane, Old Chen immediately took him home. In the car, he asked where Snowbell was. It was past six in the evening. He wondered if Snowbell was there.
"When I came out just now, I saw her and Young Master Xiao Dong watching TV.”"Does she know that I'm coming back?" "I didn't tell her." At this moment, Old Chen drove the car to the entrance for Shen Huaisi to get off before driving to the garage.
Shen Huaisi took his briefcase upstairs and went to the living room.
As soon as Little Dong noticed him, he immediately jumped up and went forward to welcome him.
"Brother-in-law, you're back!" Little Dong's face was filled with joy, and his tone was filled with excitement.
Shen Huaisi gave him a friendly smile. "Looks like you're recovering very quickly! This time, I bought the latest model of the machine combination model for you.”"Yay! That's great." Little Dong cheered happily and immediately took the toy in his hand, ready to go back to his room to play.
"Little Dong, don't sleep too late." Yang Xueling said with concern.
"Got it!" He walked out happily.
Yang Xueling stood up and looked at Shen Huaisi's haggard, tired face and bloodshot eyes. She walked to him with heartache. "You came back early!" "I wanted to call you to tell you, but I was afraid that I might not be able to come back early. In order not to disappoint you, I had to hold it in.”"Oh!" His distant attitude made her feel uneasy.
"Right, I want to take a shower first.”The two of them returned to the bedroom. When Shen Huaisi went to take a shower, she was sitting on the chair.
When Shen Huaisi came out of the shower, he lay on the bed without saying a word.
"Wise, are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?”Yang Xueling asked him with concern.
"No need, I already ate on the plane. Snowbell, come here." He stretched out his hand and waited for her to walk over.
Yang Xueling put down the book in her hand and walked to the bedside to look at him. "What is it?" He pulled her down, and the two of them tangled together. Yang Xueling couldn't stop laughing. "Snowbell, do you miss me?" Looking at his deep eyes, Yang Xueling suddenly felt that Shen Huaisi was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
She smiled. "No, not at all." As soon as she said that, Shen Huaisi was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he saw her mischievous gaze and couldn't help but tickle her.
"Alright! How dare you joke with me? Tell me or I won't let you off today.”Yang Xueling laughed as she dodged his attacks. In the end, she couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"Alright, alright! I'll say it." Shen Huaisi stopped and looked at her expectantly.
"I really, really miss…the present you brought back.”As soon as she finished speaking, she could not help but burst out laughing when she saw Shen Huaisi's ever-changing and comical face.
Shen Huaisi immediately pressed her down. "Alright! You little rascal, how dare you tease me like this? Let's see if I'll forgive you!”He displayed his strength and attacked her from top to bottom.
Screams and laughter could be heard coming from the room. The intimacy and laughter echoed in the big house that had been silent and lonely for a long time, as if the gloomy atmosphere of many years had been driven out.
The butlers and workers who had been in the Shen family for many years all showed surprised and happy expressions. They had not heard such rare laughter in this house for a long time.
After they finished laughing and playing, the two of them lay on the bed, exhausted. The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other. They couldn't help but smile at each other.
Yang Xueling reached out to touch his thin cheek and suddenly became very serious. "Wise, you've lost a lot of weight and you've become much more haggard. Did you not take good care of yourself?”Shen Huaisi felt warm when he saw her serious and caring expression. No one had ever cared about him before. This feeling was really great and comfortable. "I just want to finish my work as soon as possible so that I can come back to accompany you earlier.”Yang Xueling couldn't help but snuggle into his arms. "Seriously, why don't you take good care of your body?”She reprimanded softly, her tone filled with pity.
He was touched, but he only told her lightly,""It's okay. I'm already used to it.”Yang Xueling got out of bed and stood by the bed to look at him. "There's a small test tomorrow. I have to go and study.”She leaned over and kissed him, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated. It seemed that nothing had happened.
Just as she was about to leave, Shen Huaisi stopped her."Snow Bell, what time do you have class tomorrow?”"Nine o'clock." "Have you been driving to school by yourself these past few days?”"That's right! This is much more convenient." She nodded.
Shen Huaisi narrowed his eyes and looked at her. The expression on his face became a little strange for a moment. After a while, he said,""I'll send you to class tomorrow." Snowbell was stunned for a moment and immediately refused,""No need. You just came back from abroad and are so tired. It's better for you to rest at home.”She did not want Lu Zhengfan to meet him.
" No," Shen Huaisi said mockingly." Although I'm a little old, my physical strength is still at its peak. With my current condition, I don't think I'll step into the coffin."”His words made Yang Xueling look at him in shock. When she saw the deep pain in his eyes, she couldn't help but call his name, wanting to talk to him. " Wise…" Unexpectedly, he interrupted her immediately and pretended to be light."Besides, it's only past eight o'clock now! I'll be energetic when I wake up tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll wake up earlier than you!”Under his light tone, there was a hidden emotion that made her uneasy. When she wanted to speak again, he immediately closed his eyes, turned his body, and ignored her.
Yang Xueling stood there quietly and looked at his lonely back. Suddenly, she felt like crying. She could sense that Wise must have read the report.
He didn't use anger, nor did he retaliate.
Shen Huaisi chose to hide his feelings and emotions and pushed himself deeper into his heart. This was an instinct he had learned over the years.
She looked at him in fear and realized that he had returned to the cold man she had met for the first time. She thought that she only liked his company, but why did his behavior make her feel sour now? For the first time, she felt like crying. Her originally cheerful mood became very heavy, and for the first time, she sighed, which made her jump in shock.
Hearing her deep sigh shook his heart. What should he do to keep Snowbell by his side? What method could he use to move Snowbell and make her follow him willingly? To be honest, he had no confidence.
In her sleep, Yang Xueling suddenly felt someone slapping her butt. She opened her eyes reluctantly and saw Shen Huaisi looking at her with ill intentions.
She subconsciously pulled the blanket over and waved his hand away. "Annoying, I still want to sleep! Go away!" Shen Huaisi chuckled when he saw her sleepy and adorable look. "Your habit of lazing in bed hasn't changed at all!”There was a doting tone in his voice.
Yang Xueling pouted and said unhappily,""Humph! You are the most heartless. I am still very sleepy, but you just have to come and disturb me. What's wrong with letting me sleep a little longer? You are really stingy. When you are not around, I sleep very comfortably!”She kept muttering, but Shen Huaisi only looked at her with a smile.
Suddenly, he quickly snatched her blanket. "Alright, alright. Then tell me, when I'm not at home, how many days are you punctual for class?”When she heard this, she wrinkled her cute nose slightly and yawned. She said righteously,
"When you went on a business trip, I was only two days late!”Shen Huaisi smiled. "That's right! How impressive. He was only late for two days in a week. Then can you tell me how many days you have to go to class in the morning?”Yang Xueling suddenly sat up in high spirits." It's only been two days! What was wrong? When she realized that he was smiling at her, she suddenly called out,""Aiya! I forgot, my morning classes only last for two days.”She looked at him in embarrassment, patted her forehead, and stuck out her tongue cutely.
Shen Huaisi laughed heartily. His deep voice echoed in the bedroom.
Yang Xueling suddenly looked at him in a daze. She loved Wise's laughter and loved to see his smile.
Shen Huaisi looked down at the time. "Speaking of late, it's almost 8:30.”Yang Xueling jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom. She shouted towards the bedroom,""It's all your fault! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Shen Huaisi smiled helplessly. Who was the one who refused to get out of bed just now? Presumably, that young lady had forgotten all about it, and now she was actually blaming him.
Yang Xueling rushed out of the bathroom and hurriedly changed her clothes. When she saw Shen Huaisi looking at her happily, she couldn't help but glare at him. "What's so funny? Sir, aren't you going to send me to class?”Shen Huaisi hurriedly took the book from her. She looked as if she wanted to throw the book at him.
He put his arm around her shoulders and went downstairs. "Don't worry, there's still time for you to eat breakfast.”"I don't want to eat. I won't have to go after I'm done eating.”Yang Xueling cried out in alarm.
"I told Old Chen to start the car and wait for us at the front door. You should eat first.”He brought her to the dining room.
"No, I'm not eating. Let's go!”She urged him.
Butler Chen walked over and placed breakfast on the table. "I've already prepared breakfast. If you don't eat it, don't blame me if you don't do well.”she said seriously.
Seeing Butler Chen's insistence, Yang Xueling could only pick up a piece of toast and eat it.
"Take your time to eat. I still have to go back to work!”Butler Chen said happily.
When Yang Xueling heard this, she said anxiously," I'll eat it myself. Hurry up and do your work!"”Butler Chen shook his head and walked into the kitchen.
Yang Xueling made a face at her, picked up a glass of juice from the table, and took a few sips. She grabbed a piece of toast and pulled Shen Huaisi out. "Hurry up and leave, lest Butler Chen comes out and stares at me again.”"You! If this goes on, be careful that Butler Chen won't cook for you.”The two of them walked to the car and got in.
"Of course not. Butler Chen dotes on me the most. She can't bear to see me have nothing to eat! Right, Uncle Chen?" Elder Chen chuckled when he heard that.
"That's right! As long as Madam is around, my wife will not go on strike. We can eat good food at any time. Moreover, they cook more delicious and rich food than before. Madam and Young Master are my husband's favorite. They often make some special and delicious snacks for us to eat at any time. It's really all thanks to Madam.”"So you should all be grateful to me. Maybe if you please me, I can put in a good word for you in front of Butler Chen.”Shen Huaisi and Old Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud after they looked at each other in the rearview mirror.
On the way to school, they were filled with laughter. They were in high spirits and had a happy day.
The prelude to the storm happened after class!! Shen Huaisi stood at the door and waited for Yang Xueling's class to end. He had never been in such a good mood before. He stood there and squinted his eyes at the passing students, looking for her figure. He did not notice the girl's admiring gaze on him at all.
When he saw Yang Xueling, he greeted her with a smile. Yang Xueling also smiled happily at him. " Wise…" Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Zhengfan walk to their side. His expression suddenly became extremely ugly and stiff. He clenched his fists tightly and then relaxed them. His face turned expressionless, and his eyes were so deep that no one could tell what he was thinking.
"The main characters are all here. I think the three of us can have a good talk.”Lu Zhengfan said in a relaxed tone.
Yang Xueling looked at the two of them. She could feel that the atmosphere between the two men was very strange and tense.
Shen Huaisi said calmly and steadily,"Actually, there's no need for that. There's nothing to talk about at all. I don't want to waste my time here.”After saying that, he held Yang Xueling's hand and turned to leave.
However, Lu Zhengfan was obviously unwilling to give up this opportunity. He took a big step forward and blocked in front of them.
It was the end of class, and the curious students stopped to watch.
"Shen Huaisi, are you a coward?”Lu Zhengfan asked provocatively.
Shen Huaisi said coldly," Lu Zhengfan, I hope you can understand one thing. Snowbell is my wife. You have no right to stand here and talk to me. Nothing happened between you and Snowbell. What you're doing makes you look ridiculous and childish. We have our own lives to live. I hope you won't disturb us anymore."”"Really?" Lu Zhengfan said mockingly. How do you know nothing happened between Snowbell and me? You went abroad, didn't you?”"Lu Zhengfan, have you said enough? Your behavior is simply harassing us! I can sue you for slandering me in the media, but I don't want to do that because I want to protect Snow Bell. I don't want her to go to court, and I don't want her to be hurt. It doesn't matter how you treat me, but I'm warning you, if you continue to cause trouble, I won't tolerate it anymore.”
Lu Zhengfan clapped his hands and said with a smile,"It was a very touching story. However, I heard that you didn't marry Snowbell for love at all. Do you dare to deny it?”
"This is my personal matter, so there's no need to report it to you.”
"That's right! You're a selfish guy, cold-blooded and heartless, taking advantage of Snowbell's weak situation. She's only twenty years old, and it's time for her to enjoy life. At such a beautiful age, she has to be tied to someone like you. She has the right to enjoy everything, and she has the right to choose to love and be loved. A good girl like her shouldn't be worthy of a cold-blooded animal like you. Only people like you would think of such a method to make a girl sacrifice her life to create an heir for you. You can only give her money, but you can't give her love. People like you are not worthy of her at all!”Shen Huaisi held Yang Xueling's hand so tightly that it hurt. She saw that Shen Huaisi's face was expressionless, but the veins on his forehead were throbbing rapidly. He pursed his lips tightly and stared at Lu Zhengfan without moving.
"Don't say that. You don't understand our married life at all. You shouldn't make random comments.”
"Are you afraid of him now that he's back? You forgot that we went out before and got along very well. Why do you deny our relationship? You don't have to be afraid of him at all. I have money, so I can still provide a comfortable environment for you and your brother.”Shen Huaisi looked back and forth at them coldly.
"You went out with him?" Yang Xueling was anxious and angry at Lu Zhengfan's words.
"It's not what you think, I…"
"I just want to know, did you really go out with him?”
"Yes, sir! "I did go out with him before, but that was…" Shen Huaisi cut her off."Let's go!" Yang Xueling realized that the expression on his face had become very scary and scary. He pulled her out of the school gate.
Lu Zhengfan wanted to pull Yang Xueling's hand. " You have no right to treat Snowbell like this, she…" Shen Huaisi said in a very rough voice,""Lu Zhengfan, shut up. I've had enough of you! This is between us husband and wife. I advise you to stop.”He pushed Yang Xueling into the car expressionlessly and instructed Old Chen to drive.
Yang Xueling looked at him timidly. She had never seen such a terrifying side of him. He was a thousand miles away from the amiable him in the morning. Even Elder Chen realized that the atmosphere was not right. He just drove quietly and did not dare to look back.
Yang Xueling still wanted to explain. " Wise…" He immediately interrupted her,""Let's talk at home." After saying that, he turned to look outside and ignored her.
Yang Xueling looked at him sitting stiffly. She didn't know what he was thinking, but she felt wronged. She pursed her lips tightly and held back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.
When the car arrived at the door of her house, she immediately opened the car door and rushed in. Ignoring Butler Chen's surprised gaze, she ran all the way back to her room and lay on the bed, crying silently.
"We have a banquet tonight. I hope you can accompany me.”She put down her book and looked at him sadly. This was the first time they had talked since the last incident.
Wise had been busy from morning till night. Otherwise, he would spend the long night in the study. Now, seeing him so indifferent made her heart ache.
"Wise, don't you want to hear my explanation?”She was so sad. Why did Wise reject her? She had not done anything wrong to him!
He looked at her coldly. "I don't have time now. We have to rush to the banquet hall in half an hour.”For Snowbell, the wall he built only worsened her emotional wounds. Was the problem between them more important than work?
When she was checking her makeup in front of the big mirror, Shen Huaisi walked behind her and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
Tonight, she was wearing a sapphire blue crepe gown. She looked very beautiful.
"You look especially beautiful tonight.”He murmured softly, unable to restrain his abstinence these days. He bent down and planted a lingering kiss on her neck.
"And this color suits you.”"Just in time?" She leaned back against him in confusion, feeling that this hug made her miss it so much.
Even the slightest touch of his hand would make her heart beat faster. Just hugging him in his evening gown made her knees go weak.
He didn't answer her directly, but looked at her reflection in the mirror. He reached into the pocket of his coat and took out a necklace made of a thin white chain, sapphire, and diamonds that sparkled like the stars in the sky.
Before she could understand, he had already put this expensive necklace on her neck. The pendant made of a large dark blue gem with countless broken diamonds hanging on her chest.
"Wise, it's really beautiful!" she called out tenderly and grabbed his hand tightly.
She had never thought that Wise would really buy her a gift. This was the first time she had received a gift from him, and it was so expensive.
He smiled, his eyes shining brighter than any precious gemstone.
He was just feeling nervous, afraid that she would reject him. Their relationship was at rock bottom, and he had learned his lesson from the past. But when he saw this necklace, he felt that he had to buy it and give it to her, regardless of anything.
Now that he saw her reaction, he did not regret it. It seemed that this little girl had broken his principle of never giving gifts.
"Is there anyone else worthy of you? My beautiful little bride." He turned her around, lifted her chin, and planted a deep and thorough kiss on it.
"Tonight, I will be the object of jealousy of every man present.”For Snowbell, the string of brilliant gems on her skin symbolized Wise's care for her, because she had already learned from Yun Xiang that Wise would never give gifts.
Now, the significance of this gift had turned the deadlock between the two of them for the better.#
