Chapter 37 Be good, it is illegal to not be on a leash

As the meal was drawing to a close, Ling Qingyu looked at Shi Huai expectantly, "Sister-in-law, will you and Ji Bai come play on my new yacht tomorrow?"

Shi Huai smiled politely: "You guys go play with Zhou Jibai, I won't go."

There was no intention to control Zhou Jibai in these words, just let him play however he wanted.

Zhou Jibai glanced at Shi Huai, who was standing beside him and didn't care about him at all, with a dull expression, "She's still pregnant, so it's not convenient for her."

"The yacht will be anchored directly in the middle of the sea and won't move." Ling Qingyu said again.

Zhou Ji didn't even bother to lift his eyelids to look at him: "Have you ever been pregnant?"

Ling Qingyu grinned, "It doesn't have that function either."

"Then will you go to Jibai tomorrow?" He Yunxun asked with a smile.

"Go ahead." Zhou Jibai calmly put away the empty lunch box in front of him, his eyes occasionally wandering to Shi Huai, "My wife has spoken, and if I don't go, it will make her lose face."

Seeing that Zhou Jibai was not being serious with him, Shi Huai became more certain that Zhou Jibai definitely did not like him, and naturally he was unwilling to care about him.

"You're not a henpecked husband." Shi Huai muttered.

Zhou Jibai sneered softly, his voice was so soft that it seemed as if he was laughing specifically for Shi Huai to hear.

Shi Huai only dared to whisper in his heart, could it be that he was wrong?

Zhou Jibai, this playboy, must have been a playboy who had been around many women before he got married and was the most attractive playboy.

After marriage, I restrained myself for a while out of responsibility. But I guess it won't be long before my true colors show up.

…

When he arrived at the door of his house, Shi Huai suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit to Zhou Jibai today.

It’s not just to bring him food!

Grandma's birthday party will be at the end of next month. She needs to find out the cause of her grandma's depression and solve it as soon as possible.

Old Mrs. Zhou often locked herself in the basement, and the Zhou family’s basement was a small treasure room decorated like a museum.

The ancient relics and famous paintings displayed outside were purchased by the Zhou family from auctions. However, the treasures hidden in the basement were the most precious items that the Zhou family treasured.

So Shi Huai guessed that the old lady was reminded of someone by the sight of the object.

After getting out of the car, Shi Huai followed Zhou Jibai and took the initiative to cut into the topic and asked, "Zhou Jibai, I heard that grandma is having a birthday. What are you planning to give her?"

Zhou Jibai said without hesitation: "Thirty million."

Shi Huai: "Wouldn't it be too tacky to give money?"

Does the old lady look like she needs these tens of millions?

"Who said I was going to give her money?" Zhou Jibai looked up at her, his eyes seemed to say, 'Do you think everyone is as vulgar as you?'

Shi Huai:?

"Give her the gift of happiness, health and happiness."

Shi Huai: ...

"Can you be serious?" Shi Huai frowned and said to him coquettishly.

Shi Huai's delicate, delicate face was slightly irritated. Zhou Jibai took in the scene, "I've always been very tight-lipped. I can't even get others to say nice things to me."

Shi Huai's mouth twitched.

I didn’t expect Zhou Jibai to have a clear understanding of his own positioning.

In September, the evening breeze is getting cooler.

Shi Huai and Zhou Jibai always maintained a subtle distance, an arm's length away, not too far, but not too intimate either.

Shi Huai walked slowly and shook his arms twice out of habit. Just as he was about to continue asking Zhou Jibai questions about his grandmother, the next moment, his slightly shaking white jade hand was held by Zhou Jibai.

The warm and broad palm could wrap around her entire hand, but Zhou Jibai didn't do that. Instead, he took the opportunity to insert his slender, bony fingers into the gaps between her fingers and clasped theirs tightly.

Shi Huai paused slightly, and the sudden ambiguous action made her face slightly red, "Why did you suddenly hold my hand..."

Zhou Jibai: "Your hand is shaking my eyes so hard it hurts."

Shi Huai muttered unhappily, "...I didn't slap you."

Shi Huai didn't want to hold Zhou Jibai's hand anymore, but Zhou Jibai was very strong and she couldn't break free. She could only reluctantly let him hold her hand and walk back to the main house.

The journey was silent, and Shi Huai had lost interest in talking to Zhou Jibai. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stopped talking, Zhou Jibai was the first to break the silence.

"Grandma never has a big birthday party, so you don't have to worry about it."

Shi Huai slowly raised his head and looked at him. "But no matter what, it was grandma who personally investigated the matter between Tang Xiaoling and me. If it wasn't for grandma helping me and letting me know the truth, do you think I could be walking hand in hand with you in the garden now?"

Zhou Jibai couldn't help but think of Shi Huai and himself crying and making a fuss, and trying to escape from the manor every day to have an abortion.

If the problem is not resolved and he and Shi Huai continue to quarrel like they did in the first month of their marriage, it will really give him a headache.

Zhou Jibai shrugged and said in a deep voice, "If you want to be a filial son, I won't stop you, but it's not a big deal on grandma's birthday. There are reasons for it. It's enough to show your affection. We don't mistreat the elderly in our family. The old lady has more money than you."

The two of them stopped at the same time, and neither of them moved forward.

Shi Huai was quite annoyed by Zhou Jibai's tone. He! He! Couldn't he just talk to him like a normal person? Even though he had hit him on the head with a lamp before, even though he had slapped him hard several times, even though he had scratched his face with his nails until it looked like a cat's tartan...

Although... forget it, it's understandable that Zhou Jibai doesn't like me and still holds a grudge against me.

But Shi Huai's round, watery almond-shaped eyes still turned red for a moment of grievance, and he looked at Zhou Jibai with a flickering look: "What's the reason? Can't you tell me?"

The little wife in front of him had a faint red in her eyes and asked him this question in a soft voice. Zhou Jibai's eyes flashed with an obscure emotion, "Are you anxious?"

Shi Huai curled his lips and said stubbornly, "No! Forget it if you don't want to say it!"

After saying that, he tried to shake off Zhou Jibai's hand.

This time, she easily broke free from Zhou Jibai. Shi Huai wanted to turn around and leave, but she sensed an unspeakable sense of oppression.

Grandma’s birthday is like a reverse scale. Any touch will make the whole atmosphere fall into depression and dullness.

Shi Huai kept looking at Zhou Jibai's narrow eyes. In the night, Zhou Jibai's amber eyes were tinged with a faint light, hiding emotions that she could not guess.

Zhou Jibai couldn't stand Shi Huai staring at him like that. He turned his head away and deliberately avoided her sight. "Do you really want to know?"

Shi Huai: "I blame you even if you don't tell me."

"I'll give you a chance to show your ability." Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice returned to its usual lazy tone.

"What?"

"Come fishing with me on the yacht tomorrow, and I'll tell you."

Shi Huai: ...

After all this time, we still have to go to the yacht to play with Zhou Jibai and the others.

In order to find out the reason for the old lady's depression, Shi Huai did not hesitate: "Then it's a deal! If you go back on your word, you will be a dog."

He childishly stretched out his little finger and wanted to pinky promise with Zhou Jibai.

Zhou Jibai chuckled as he saw the slender little finger in front of him. "Isn't it enough to support you at home?"

Shi Huai:!!!

He didn't want to bother with Zhou Jibai, the talkative guy, so he was ready to put down his hand and turn around and leave.

Before he could make the next move, his little finger was hooked by Zhou Jibai's finger, "Be good, it's illegal to be on a leash."

Shi Huai: ...

This time she was really angry!
