Chapter 136: He has never been able to refuse her

Several people sat down and chatted at the table.

Xia Cheng suddenly realized that this was a meal specially prepared for her by Wan Ke and Shen Xiaoxiao, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Wan Ke and Shen Xiaoxiao were very calm and composed.

"It's okay, we'll be a family from now on anyway." Wan Ke said this, and Shen Xiaoxiao blushed and muttered in a low voice: "Who are you and your family? We've only been together for two or three months, what nonsense."

Xia Cheng thought to herself that Wan Lu and she weren't really family. She felt a little embarrassed that he'd taken it upon himself to have his brother address her as "sister-in-law," but she decided not to spoil the fun at the dinner table.

In this way, Xia Cheng settled down here, and Shen Xiaoxiao and Wan Ke went to work every day.

Wan Lu had nothing to do and stayed with her at the house all day.

Xia Cheng sat on the swing in the yard and watched Wan Lu squatting in front of the flowers and digging the soil.

"Don't you have anything to do? Why are you here every day?"

"My job is to accompany you." Wan Lu didn't even look up. "You'd definitely be scared if you were alone."

He spoke so frankly, and Xia Cheng did not hesitate.

"Thank you... You brought me here, which actually helped me a lot."

Wan Ke and Shen Xiaoxiao are both high-energy people. They quarrel at home all day long. Sometimes when Xia Cheng stays next to them, she feels that people come alive. This feeling is hard to describe, it's like an elder watching two noisy children, feeling at ease and peaceful.

However, this peaceful life did not last long. Xia Cheng still had cases to deal with, and lawyers would often call her, usually Liu Haifei.

He Qing would also send her messages, hinting at some information indirectly, but Xia Cheng only said one thing, which was to ask her to find Xun Mo back.

However, Xun Mo could not find him. She learned from Liu Haifei that Li Laiyang confessed to his actions after he woke up, but said that no one instructed him to do so.

So what Xia Cheng said, the connection with Xun Mo is broken.

Xia Cheng felt a little depressed and locked herself in the room for a few days. Wan Ke, under Wan Lu's instruction, and Shen Xiaoxiao dragged her out for some fresh air.

Actually, we didn’t walk too far, we just went to our own estate for a barbecue.

Wan Ke’s craftsmanship is indeed good.

But Xia Cheng had no appetite.

She bit the green pepper and swallowed it slowly. She was daydreaming when the phone in her pants started to vibrate.

After seeing who sent the message, she felt like she was stuck in a hot potato, not knowing what to do.

It was a message from Xun Sheng.

Xia Cheng originally thought that they had all blocked her. After receiving Xun Sheng's message, she looked through the contact information of all three people and realized that she had not been blocked by anyone.

A soft spot in her heart was touched, and Xia Cheng looked at the words sent by Xun Sheng:

Let's meet.

She even forgot to eat.

My mouth is full of the taste of spices.

Xia Cheng still turned off her phone, her heart was in turmoil.

After the barbecue, Xia Cheng and Shen Xiaoxiao helped wash the dishes, while Wan Lu and Wan Ke cleaned up the charcoal fire and the barbecue grill.

Shen Xiaoxiao's movements were very quick. Standing next to Xia Cheng, she always praised Xia Cheng for her good looks.

Xia Cheng shook her head and thought she was as cute as a jumping doll.

"Sister-in-law, how did you and brother know each other?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked.

Xia Cheng smiled and said, "I saved him twice before, but we haven't seen each other for almost two years. I just ran into him recently."

Shen Xiaoxiao adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose.

"Save? No wonder I like you so much. It turns out it's a matter of life and death. Hmm... but it might also be related to personality. For example, Wan Ke, even if I saved him, he wouldn't love someone so persistently and firmly. I envy you guys so much..."

Xia Cheng had a vague feeling that the other party wanted to confide something to her.

"I see you and Wan Ke have a pretty good relationship."

"What's good about it?" Chen Xiaoxiao lowered her voice as she looked at her hands full of fragile foam. "You don't know, but his relationships never last more than four months. Sometimes he changes five or six times a year. When we first started dating, I thought I was pregnant and was so scared. But then he said his ex-girlfriend was also pregnant and wanted us to give birth to the baby and raise one for him."

Xia Cheng seemed to know about this. When she met him at the door of the pharmacy, she just thought it was Wan Ke's excuse.

Such a ridiculous thing is actually true! ?

Shen Xiaoxiao then spoke.

"I know everything. I know that rich young men are cunning and have many tricks up their sleeves. I also know that I'm just an ordinary girl, but I just like Wan Ke, so I forgave him like I was committing a crime."

"Don't say that about yourself."

Xia Cheng held the plate, her palms felt slippery.

"Relationships are all about mutual affection, and it's all about enjoying the process. You're still young, so it's okay to have a few more relationships. At least during the relationship, as long as you're sincere to each other, even if you end up breaking up, it's still a different experience."

“That’s how I convinced myself.”

Shen Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed slightly. "Sister-in-law, have you ever dated anyone? I heard from Wan Ke that you are Wan Lu's first love."

Xia Cheng didn't want to talk about such private matters, but looking at Shen Xiaoxiao's sincere and pure eyes, she suddenly thought of the equally innocent Lin Minghe, and nodded with a stiff neck.

"Yes, I am a bad woman and have hurt many men's hearts."

Shen Xiaoxiao thought she was joking.

"Sister-in-law is so humorous."

"I'm not kidding."

"What are you talking about?" Before the two of them could finish their conversation, Wan Lu had already squeezed into the kitchen and pulled Xia Cheng away from the sink.

"I'll wash it, you take a rest."

"I've been resting for a long time."

"Then rest for a while." Wan Lu grabbed her hand and put it under the faucet to rinse off the foam. He pinched her fingertips and joked, "I remember when I pinched your hand two years ago, it was all hard skin. Now the calluses are gone."

"Money supports people."

Even the calluses on her fingers from writing are almost disappearing.

While the two were talking, Shen Xiaoxiao sneaked out. She didn't want to be a light bulb.

After Wan Lu replaced Xia Cheng's position, Xia Cheng stood aside, leaning against the refrigerator and biting the grapes that Wan Lu handed to her.

"Are you worried about something?" Wan Lu saw it at a glance.

If it were in the past, Xia Cheng would either wash together or go back to the room directly. Now she is staying here, obviously she has something to say.

Xia Cheng's pocket was heavy with her cell phone. She handed Wan Lu a grape and asked cautiously:

"Can I go see Xun Sheng tomorrow?"

"Of course, it's your freedom. But why are you asking me?"

"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm doing?"

"Although I really want to know, we're not together yet." Wan Lu pretended to be relaxed, but in reality, he was almost crushing the plate. Love is selfish, but his education taught him not to do so, so this is all he could say.

Xia Cheng brought the grapes to his mouth.

"Can you take me there?" After coming out of the detention center, she was always easily scared when she was alone. These days, she was used to Wan Lu's company. Wherever he was, everything seemed reliable and solid.

The red grapes were seedless and crystal clear. Wan Lu smiled and stretched out his tongue to roll the red grapes into his mouth. His pale lips gently stroked Xia Cheng's fingertips.

"OK."

He had never been able to refuse her.
