The female lead is powerful, ruthless, and stunningly beautiful—she stops at nothing to get what she wants. Sheng Wu, the Ghost King sealed beneath the Abyss of Ten-Thousand Ghosts, is cruel and ...
Chen Guiwu suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, your stepmother and I just got our wedding photos developed. You can pick out the best one with her and send it to a photo studio to have it enlarged. You've studied abroad before, so do you have any suggestions?"
Hearing this, Shen Qinghuan glanced at Sheng Wu, who was standing beside him with her head slightly lowered, not daring to look him in the eye. A rare smile appeared on her cold and heroic face.
"OK."
Then, the three of them entered the main courtyard of the Shen residence together.
Originally, Chen Guiwu was going to stay and select photos, but Gu Bai suddenly appeared and seemed to have called him away for something.
Therefore, only Shen Qinghuan, Sheng Wu and Chunxi were left in the living room of the main courtyard.
Sheng Wu sat opposite Shen Qinghuan, lowered his head and drank tea without saying a word, as if he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
There was a thick stack of black and white photos placed on Shen Qinghuan's legs. Although the colors could not be seen, the tenderness and joy of the two people in the photos were visibly revealed to the naked eye, especially the photos where they were looking at each other, as if they were lovers who had been in love for many years.
"Chunxi, I want to eat some of the cakes you made. Please go and prepare them."
"Ah?" Chunxi, who was watching happily, was stunned when she heard this. "What kind of cake would you like, Miss?"
Shen Qinghuan lowered his head and casually named a few, "Hibiscus cake, osmanthus cake, and chestnut cake." It would take at least an hour to make them.
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away." Chunxi went to the kitchen quickly and stupidly.
"Close the door by the way. The wind is a bit strong today." Shen Qinghuan called out again at the end.
"OK!"
Chunxi, who had already reached the door, immediately replied happily and then closed the door to the living room.
Now, there were only Shen Qinghuan and Sheng Wu in the living room.
As the door closed, the originally large living room seemed to become narrow, and even the air was tense and cramped.
