Chapter 173 Fortunately, my Mrs. Shen did not give up loving me

The dishes on the dining table were all Xu Jialan's favorites.

But none of the food Shen Xichuan liked to eat was on it.

Xu Jialan looked at the man beside him with a pair of clear and clean eyes.

Shen Xichuan had already taken off his coat, and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his arms, revealing his tight lines.

With a gentle look on his face, he held the chopsticks and cooked the meat that Xu Jialan loved in the pot.

"Eat, just looking at me can make me full?"

The man put the cooked meat into her bowl.

Xu Jialan blinked, a gentle glint in his eyes.

She supported her face with one hand and looked at him without any concealment.

"Have you been looking for Ningning?"

The person who knows best what dishes she eats for hot pot is An Yuening.

Shen Xichuan paused, put down his chopsticks, picked up a can of Coke, unscrewed it, inserted a straw and handed it over.

"Yes, I found it."

Xu Jialan glanced at Coke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "What else did you ask?"

Shen Xichuan looked at her helplessly, “Are you so curious?”

"Yeah." Xu Jialan smiled, "Why? Can't you tell me?"

"It's not that I can't tell you, I'm just thinking about how to tell you."

Shen Xichuan pointed his chin at the food in her bowl and said, “Eat it first, it’s getting cold.”

Xu Jialan lowered his eyes to glance at it, said "oh", picked up the chopsticks obediently, and ate the meat cooked in the mushroom soup.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

With a smile in his eyes, Shen Xichuan continued to shabu-shabu the meat for her.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, "You hid it too well. I don't know if what I thought you liked in the past few months is really what you like."

Xu Jialan slowed down his chewing.

"So, I told my sister-in-law everything I knew, one by one, whether this is what you like. If not, what do you like?"

Shen Xichuan put the cooked food in her bowl.

"For example, you like hot pot, but the dishes you eat are not what I thought they were."

Xu Jialan stared at him blankly, "I'm sorry."

Shen Xichuan smiled, took out a tissue, and wiped the corner of her mouth.

"What's there to be sorry about? It's your husband who wasn't attentive enough and didn't notice what you really like."

Xu Jialan's eyelashes trembled slightly, "So now... you know everything?"

Shen Xichuan hummed and touched her face, “I dare not forget.”

He looked at the bubbling pot and said, "Actually, it's quite delicious even without the spiciness. Without the spiciness, the ingredients retain their original freshness, and it's the purest flavor."

Xu Jialan also looked over and chuckled, "As expected of the perennially number one academic genius, even eating hot pot sounds so romantic."

Hearing this, Shen Xichuan looked at her sideways with a gentle look in his eyes, “The romantic person is not me, it’s you.”

"So what if I got first place? I'm just a clumsy beginner when it comes to loving someone."

“Fortunately, my Mrs. Shen did not dislike me or give up loving me because of this.”

Xu Jialan's eyes flashed, "Mr. Shen, are you going to let me enjoy this hot pot?"

Shen Xichuan laughed and rubbed her head, "Let, eat, I'll rinse it."

Xu Jialan watched his actions, paused, and asked, "So...will you still tell me in the future?"

Shen Xichuan didn’t react for a moment, “What did you say?”

Xu Jialan blinked, "Just...what you said just now?"

Hearing this, the man looked at her sideways and asked, "Want to hear it?"

Xu Jialan hummed and nodded, "I want to."

Shen Xichuan nodded, “Eat the hot pot first, and then I’ll tell you when I get back in the evening.”

Xu Jialan: “…”

She suddenly didn't want to listen anymore.

After eating until he was about 70% full, Xu Jialan didn't want to eat anymore.

Shen Xichuan glanced at her, and after making sure that she was full, he brought her bowl, which still had a lot of food left, to himself and continued eating from her bowl.

Xu Jialan smiled and bit the straw to take a sip of Coke before slowly taking out his cell phone and looking at the unread messages.

Only at this moment did she see the message An Yuening sent her.

Your husband called me.

[I've asked you a lot of questions, so be prepared.]

Xu Jialan smiled and replied with an emoticon saying "I know."

She checked her Moments and saw many people showing off their affection.

Seeing this, Xu Jialan paused for a few seconds and turned his head to look at the man, "Can you show me your phone?"

Shen Xichuan raised his eyes, without asking any more questions, he took out his mobile phone and handed it over.

Xu Jialan blinked, "Where's the password?"

"It's your birthday."

Xu Jialan pursed his lips to hold back his laughter and said "oh".

She entered the password and unlocked it successfully.

I looked at the green software but didn't click on it directly.

"Can I watch anything?"

Shen Xichuan hummed, “Okay.”

Xu Jialan licked his lips and clicked on it.

She was stunned at the first glance.

Shen Xichuan actually pinned her to the top.

And the note is...wife.

Xu Jialan blinked, and a faint blush appeared on his fair face.

She continued to look down, and most of them were people from the team, and there were almost no opposite sexes.

Even the list is as clean as his circle of friends.

Without even looking up, Shen Xichuan asked, "How was your review? Did you discover any secrets?"

Xu Jialan slid casually, "It's okay, I haven't seen anything yet."

She didn't read much about the content related to the team.

At this moment, she saw a familiar group name and her fingertips slowly stopped.

"Are you still in touch with your high school classmates?"

“It’s okay, not much chatting, what’s wrong?” Shen Xichuan said.

Xu Jialan paused, then clicked into the group.

"I just happened to see the class group from high school, so I wanted to ask you."

Shen Xichuan nodded.

Xu Jialan looked at the messages in the group.

Everyone is discussing whether to have a party before or during the Chinese New Year.

"They all seem to be talking about class reunions. Have you ever had one before?"

Shen Xichuan thought for a moment, “Yes, I’ve only been there once, and then I didn’t have time to go because I was busy with work.”

Xu Jialan said "oh" and continued to look at the messages in the group.

The man suddenly paused and turned his head, "Lanlan, you..."

Xu Jialan said directly, "I haven't been there."

Shen Xichuan didn’t speak.

"After graduation, I had no contact with those classmates."

Xu Jialan spoke calmly.

She was never a sociable person in high school.

After graduation, there were only a few female classmates on WeChat who I got to chat with quite well.

As for class groups or something, she didn't join them.

Shen Xichuan put down his chopsticks and held her hand, “Actually, I haven’t had much contact with them.”

Xu Jialan smiled easily, "I know, I've been looking at the chat history for so long, and I haven't seen you say anything in the group."

Shen Xichuan paused, reached out and pulled out the phone, lowering his eyes to look at the message inside.

Although he didn't say anything, many people mentioned him in the group and asked if he wanted to attend the class reunion.

Xu Jialan also saw it and asked with a frown, "Then do you want to go?"

"Where to go?"

"Class reunion? So many people are asking if you want to go?"

Shen Xichuan looked at her, “What about you?”

Xu Jialan paused, "I won't go. I'm not very familiar with them."

Shen Xichuan squeezed her hand and said, “Then you don’t have to go as an old classmate.”

"What do you use?"

"Family members."
