Chapter 233 What comes faster than a slap in the face is Shen Xichuan’s wedding

The Shen family did not deliberately conceal their actions.

Everyone in the circle knew that the Shen family was going to hold a wedding.

And it was the wedding of the second young master of the Shen family.

Everyone knew before that Shen Xichuan married that second wife, but it was never announced to the public.

So many people have many little thoughts in mind.

As long as it is not announced to the public, it will not be recognized in these families.

But who would have thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

Shen Xichuan and Xu Jialan are not just going to have a wedding.

And the person who personally took charge of the wedding was Mrs. Shen.

During the wedding planning process, many people vaguely knew Xu Jialan's identity.

A senior chemist in a laboratory and a supervisor in a department.

He is the apprentice of the president of the Medical Association and also a senior member of the association.

More likely to become the future successor of the Medical Association.

Visiting professor at Nancheng Medical University.

I heard that the most difficult medical projects have been approved by the Medical Bureau.

Now he is the head of an independent laboratory.

Such a person, even if he does not have a prominent family background, is definitely someone you can only befriend and not offend.

Before this, they actually thought she was just an orphan with no family background.

I don’t know who spread the rumor that Mrs. Shen Er has no family background?

What kind of family background is needed for this?

The resources possessed by a medical association alone are more than enough to surpass those of first-class families.

The families who received the news have already started to find ways to find out about this Second Mrs. Shen.

But I dare not be so blatant.

Just secretly and privately inquire.

To be honest, they are still quite afraid of offending Shen Xichuan.

This is the most unfathomable person in the Shen family.

At this time, Xu Jialan didn't know that he had become the person that the major families were preparing to please.

She was looking at a pile of invitations of different styles in front of her with a headache.

The wedding is less than a month away.

Invitations must be sent out in advance.

Mrs. Shen collected various styles of invitations that she was quite satisfied with, and then had them all delivered to Xinghu Bay.

Let Xu Jialan choose what he likes.

However, Xu Jialan did not expect that there would be so many invitations sent.

She was stunned for a moment.

Shen Xichuan's time to go home has become relatively regular recently.

She had some guesses in her mind, but he didn't say it and she didn't ask.

There was a sound at the door.

The man pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing her sitting on the sofa in a daze, he raised his beautiful eyebrows, changed into a pair of cotton slippers, took off his cold coat, revealing the sweater underneath, and walked over.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Jialan looked up at him and said, "Mom sent someone to deliver the invitation, saying that it's up to me to choose."

Shen Xichuan hummed, lowered his head and pecked her lips lightly, then sat next to her.

Only then did he notice the pile of invitations on the coffee table.

The man was silent for a few seconds. "Choose one from this pile..."

Xu Jialan nodded.

She hugged the man's arm and said, "How about you help me choose."

"Anyway, if you like it, I will definitely like it too."

The main reason was that her head was going to hurt after she finished looking through the pile of invitations.

Not to mention choosing the good-looking ones from them.

It doesn't matter whether you like it or not.

By the end of the picture, she probably couldn't remember what the first one she saw looked like.

Shen Xichuan looked at her and laughed helplessly, “What I like, you like it?”

"Yes." Xu Jialan nodded.

Shen Xichuan stared at her for a few seconds, turned his head to look in the direction of the coffee table, and hummed, "Let's watch it together."

Xu Jialan: “…”

She immediately let go of the man's hand, picked up the pillow beside her, and sat down next to him.

Shen Xichuan smiled and shook his head.

He reached out and casually picked up a stack of invitations.

Mrs. Shen must have really selected it carefully.

I just didn't expect that she could pick so many.

He flipped through the sheets one by one, "Did Mom say when the latest we have to confirm it is?"

"the day after tomorrow."

Xu Jialan hugged the pillow and looked at his profile.

Shen Xichuan flipped through half of it and was dazzled.

He looked over the pile in his hand and put it back.

"Okay, I understand."

Xu Jialan blinked, "Are you going to choose the invitations?"

Shen Xichuan turned his head and looked at her expectantly.

He smiled and reached out to gently pinch her nose, "What else?"

Xu Jialan's eyes lit up, he let go of the pillow and quickly went over to hug his arm.

"Thank you, husband."

The man laughed again and looked down at her, "You know how to call me husband now?"

Xu Jialan felt a little guilty and coughed lightly, "I call you that usually."

"Really? Why haven't I heard of that?"

Xu Jialan: “…”

At this time, Shen Xichuan said again, “So, do you want to compensate your hard-working husband?”

Xu Jialan blinked, "How to compensate?"

Shen Xichuan stared at her, curled the corners of his mouth, lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something in a low voice.

Xu Jialan's face turned visibly red.

She didn't want to listen to the end, so she turned around and tried to slip away.

In the end, I was still a step behind.

Shen Xichuan pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and stood up.

The sudden leap into the air scared Xu Jialan so much that his slippers fell off.

"My shoes."

Shen Xichuan held her and walked steadily towards the bathroom.

"Well, your husband is here, so you don't have to walk."

So no shoes.

Xu Jialan: “…”

Her angry voice came from the corridor.

"Aren't you going to come over in the morning?"

"Well, more than ten hours have passed."

"...Too much is bad for your health."

“Then Mrs. Shen, do you want to test whether I am okay or not?”

"No……"

"Bang--"

The bathroom door opened and closed.

“Shen Xichuan.”

Then the sound of dripping water was heard.

Covering up other tiny sounds.

The tightly closed floor-to-ceiling windows blocked the cold wind outside, the temperature in the house rose little by little, and the dim warm light illuminated the corner of the living room.

Red invitations of different styles were randomly stacked on the coffee table.

A beautiful red light was reflected faintly on the half-lit and half-dark coffee table.

Time passes by little by little.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a very light sound of footsteps.

The man's hair was half wet, with short hair hanging down on his forehead. He was wearing the same black satin pajamas as a couple, and the V-neck design revealed his delicate collarbone.

He pressed the sofa, bent down, and picked up the lady's plush slippers that had fallen on the carpet.

When he stood up, he casually glanced at the pile of invitations on the coffee table, then turned and went back to the bedroom.

After a while, he came out again.

I picked up an invitation at random.

Then he walked into the study.

The door of the study was half open, and the light from the desk lamp shone on the man's delicate face.

I saw him staring at the computer screen intently, holding the mouse in one hand and pressing the keys on the keyboard with the other, clicking from time to time.

Next to the computer was an open invitation.

Every once in a while, he would look towards the study door.

It seemed as if he was listening to see if there was any movement outside.

If he didn't hear it, he would continue to turn his eyes to the screen.

The sky outside the window gradually changed from pitch black to dark blue and then to azure blue.

The desk lamp in the study was turned off.

The computer is also turned off.

The man moved very quietly. After returning to the bedroom, he carefully lifted the quilt and lay down.

The girl habitually followed his warmth and snuggled into his arms.

She said in a muffled voice, "Where have you been?"

It sounds like he hasn't woken up yet.

Shen Xichuan chuckled silently, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead.

"I was thirsty, so I went out to drink some water."

"Go to sleep."

He held her in his arms, patting her back from time to time.

Gently coax her to sleep.
