On a snowy night when she was eighteen, the grand gate opened before her. An aged voice rang out above her: "From now on, he is your uncle." A noble and benevolent man then knelt before her...
Chapter 46 Good Husband
When Shen Sangsang heard his low and hoarse voice, her neck shrank.
I don't know if it's because of sensitivity or something else.
Fortunately, Shen Yuehuai's mood recovered quickly, and finally, he let her go.
After gaining her freedom, Shen Sangsang subconsciously stepped back. After taking a few steps, she raised her head and looked at him.
Shen Yuehuai's expression softened as he whispered, "Be careful."
Shen Sangsang's face was naturally unnatural. In response to his words, she looked towards a corner around her, while the monkey show continued and the crowd was still lively.
Shen Yuehuai naturally didn't say anything more, just let her avoid it on her own to eliminate the unnaturalness and embarrassment of these few seconds.
Shen Sangsang was not sure how long this monkey show lasted. When the excitement gradually ended and the crowd began to disperse, Shen Yuehuai whispered beside her: "Go back."
Shen Sangsang thought for a few seconds and nodded. Of course, she still didn't look at him, her eyes still darting around.
Shen Yuehuai still didn't say much about her actions, but just reached out and held her hand again.
Shen Sangsang did not struggle, so the two continued walking among the crowd.
After they walked a few steps, they were stopped by a little girl.
They both stopped in their tracks and looked at the little girl.
The little girl was holding a bamboo basket filled with many fresh flowers.
The little girl raised her head and stared at Shen Sangsang: "Sister, buy some flowers?"
Shen Sangsang instinctively wanted to avoid it.
Shen Yuehuai's hand fell on her waist, gently supporting her body, so she stopped moving and looked at the little girl.
The little girl is very cute, with big eyes, long eyelashes, a round face and chubby cheeks.
She saw that Shen Sangsang didn't seem very interested. The next second, her gaze moved again and looked at Shen Yuehuai: "Uncle, buy a flower for my sister."
Maybe it’s because he is a father himself, so when Shen Yuehuai sees children now, he just thinks they are particularly lovable.
So in response to the little girl's sales pitch, he studied the bouquets in her basket and whispered, "Take one."
When the little girl heard about taking a bouquet, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Shen Sangsang, who was standing there, also looked towards him.
Shen Yuehuai didn't explain anything. After taking the flowers from the little girl, he handed them back to her.
That is a bouquet of roses.
Shen Sangsang looked at him with a slightly hesitant expression.
Seeing that she didn't move, Shen Yuehuai asked in a low voice: "Don't you like it?"
Shen Sangsang said nothing, but just reached out to take it.
Seeing that she had taken over the conversation, Shen Yuehuai gave the little girl money.
The little girl was naturally very happy after selling a bouquet of flowers. She took the money, expressed her gratitude, and left cheering.
That laughter is quite contagious.
At this time, Shen Yuehuai looked at the person holding the flowers: "The color of the flowers is very beautiful, and it matches your dress today."
He praised the flowers and also praised her.
Shen Sangsang looked down at the clothes she was wearing today. She was wearing a white denim skirt.
A blush passed over her face again, and she continued to pretend to look at the scenery.
Shen Yuehuai didn't know what girls nowadays like or what they like to listen to. He was not really a romantic person. After seeing the blush on her face.
He thought she must like what he just said.
There was also a hint of joy on the corner of his mouth.
As a husband, it is your duty to make your wife happy.
He was thinking silently in his heart about learning to be a good husband.
…
As it was getting late, there were fewer and fewer people in the temple and some programs were coming to an end.
The weather in the mountains was cool at night, so Shen Yuehuai didn't wander around any longer, but took Shen Sangsang back to their residence.
After returning to her residence, Shen Sangsang was not sleepy at all. After taking a shower, she was still fiddling with the flowers.
Shen Yuehuai had also finished taking a shower. Seeing that she was not sleepy yet, he sat beside her and continued reading a book.
After watching for a few minutes, he looked at the person who was pruning the flowers.
She has grown a lot in the past two years, and she can even trim a casual bouquet of flowers into something beautiful.
It seems that I have learned a lot from the old lady.
He put down the book in his hand and said softly, "Xijie is an expert in flower arrangement. It seems that Sangsang has learned six points of her skill from Xijie."
The man at the table was immersed in cutting. After hearing his words, he raised his head and looked at him.
The next second, she put down the scissors in her hand, looking as if she was being laughed at.
Seeing her expression, Shen Yuehuai smiled and stood up from his chair. He walked towards her and asked, "Why don't you cut it anymore?"
She whispered, "I am self-aware."
Shen Yuehuai took a flower she had trimmed from the table, put it in the vase, and smiled faintly: "I'm not teasing you, I think so seriously."
After he finished his last sentence, he lowered his eyes and looked at her seriously: "Do you think I'm lying?"
Shen Yuehuai's voice is very nice, and her voice is as deep and clear as jade. When she lowers the pitch, the gentle and enveloping feeling makes people have illusions and even lose their minds.
Shen Sangsang had never seen him like this before.
He had treated her gently before, but that was out of the love of an elder for a younger one. But now, everything he did and said was completely unfamiliar to her.
It was a dangerous situation, a whirlpool of love and desire between adults.
She kept her lips tightly closed and said nothing.
Shen Yuehuai thought she had misunderstood his praise for her. He put his hand on her head, looked down at her, and whispered, "I'm not stingy with praise for you, but I'm never flattering either."
He chuckled softly, "You know, I'm not a flatterer, but if you insist on thinking that what I said was flattery, then that's fine with me. After all, flattering your wife isn't a bad thing, is it?"
Every word he said was touching.
No woman can resist it.
Shen Sangsang stared at the roses on the table and whispered, "I finally understand why Sun Nanxue likes you so much."
It's not easy to understand what she said.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her.
“So this is the other side of Uncle Shen.”
"Which side?"
"The side of him towards Sister Nanxue is a side I've never seen before. When Uncle Shen was dating Sister Nanxue, he treated her the same way he treats me now, right?"
Shen Yuehuai listened to her words and felt that her misunderstanding of him seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.
He didn't understand why young girls nowadays had such wild thoughts. One moment she was cutting flowers, and the next moment, her thoughts were on a completely unrelated person.
He thought seriously about what she said. "Sangsang, this is only for you, because I'm learning to get along with you in my new identity. But for Su Nanxue, I don't need to do that."
He sighed slightly. "Because of the change in our relationship, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, and I also want you to adapt to our new identities."
"Sorry, are you feeling unwell?"
She didn't expect him to say these words. His apology made her feel a little unsure of what to say for a moment.
She looked dazed.
Shen Yuehuai's eyes were fixed on her for a long time, and his fingers fell on her cheek.
Shen Sangsang’s heart began to beat again.
He placed his fingers on her cheek, but didn't do anything. He just tucked her hair away and said, "It's late. Go to bed."
