Chapter 236 Mrs. Shen is dressed...too young today

Shen Xichuan was wearing an apron and standing in the kitchen cooking breakfast.

After washing up, Xu Jialan hesitated for a while, and finally changed into the light pink sweater in the closet and matched it with a pair of wide-leg beige cotton pants.

Her long black hair was tied into a half-low ponytail with an exquisite hairband.

She walked out of the living room slowly in her cotton slippers.

I heard some noise coming from the kitchen.

She walked over, stood in front of the center island, supported her chin with both hands, and looked at the man's tall back.

Shen Xichuan had heard her footsteps a long time ago.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, he turned around and looked at her.

When he saw her, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xu Jialan noticed his gaze and pursed her lips nervously, "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

Shen Xichuan looked at her steadily for a while without saying anything.

He slowly turned off the fire, took off his apron, and walked out of the kitchen.

Xu Jialan watched him walk over, blinked, and didn't move.

The man came in front of her, pinched her chin with his fingertips and lifted it up.

Then he lowered his head without saying anything and kissed her lips.

She had just brushed her teeth and her mouth still tasted faintly of mint.

Xu Jialan opened his eyes slightly, blinked, and then slowly closed them.

I didn't know when my hands were around his neck.

After a few minutes, Shen Xichuan reluctantly let her go.

His deep eyes were fixed on her face.

"Mrs. Shen is dressed...too young today."

Xu Jialan's breathing was a little unstable, and his fingertips curled up slightly, "I...selected them in the closet. They were the clothes you had someone send over before."

She rarely wears such a pastel color.

But the clothes he had sent over were already matched.

It should be matched according to her.

So when she puts it on, she won't feel that there is anything inappropriate.

Instead, there are several different styles.

Shen Xichuan also thought of the last time they dated, she seemed to have worn a pink dress.

He smiled and touched her face, "You look nice in this outfit."

"It's just... a little inconvenient."

Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "What's inconvenient?"

The man smiled as he lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "For example, doing something bad like what you just did."

Xu Jialan's face turned visibly red.

“Shen Xichuan.”

He chuckled softly, "I'm here."

"I'm hungry, have you prepared breakfast?"

"Yeah, it's healed now."

Shen Xichuan rubbed her face and said with a smile, “Go and sit over there, your husband will bring breakfast up soon.”

Xu Jialan wrinkled his nose and snorted, "Hurry up."

Then she turned and slipped out of his arms, walked to the dining table and sat down.

Shen Xichuan looked at the empty embrace, raised his beautiful eyebrows, smiled softly, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

…

When Shen Xichuan said he was not in a hurry, he really was not in a hurry.

After breakfast, the two of them stayed at home leisurely for the whole morning and half of the afternoon.

However, he kept pressing his phone.

I don’t know who the message was sent to.

Xu Jialan didn't ask, leaned in his arms, and replied to the message on his phone.

It was not until around three o'clock in the afternoon that Shen Xichuan mentioned going out.

The man didn't say much along the way.

The hands that held the steering wheel had distinct joints and blue veins running down their arms.

He looked... strangely nervous.

Xu Jialan blinked curiously.

It wasn't their first date, so why should he be nervous?

A light seemed to flash quickly in my mind.

Before she could catch it, her phone vibrated, interrupting her thoughts.

Knowing that she was not going to the laboratory today, Gu Ziwei could only send her a message.

What she said happened to be the experimental data results she obtained after adjusting the parameters last night.

Xu Jialan lowered his eyes and sat in the passenger seat typing a reply to the message.

Shen Xichuan pursed his lips and glanced sideways at the rearview mirror.

Seems even more nervous.

Fortunately, Xu Jialan didn't notice.

The vehicle stopped steadily.

Shen Xichuan’s hands were still tightly gripping the steering wheel.

He took a deep breath.

Xu Jialan had just finished replying to the message when he noticed the car had stopped.

She looked up. "Are we there yet?"

Shen Xichuan heard the sound, came back to his senses, and hummed, "We're here."

The two got out of the car and walked hand in hand not far away.

Xu Jialan stepped on the soft sand, looking at the deep blue sea in the distance, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“When did you discover this beach?”

Shen Xichuan looked at the smile on her face and knew that she liked it.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly said, "I discovered it by accident before."

Xu Jialan said "oh" and didn't pay much attention to his tone.

Her eyes were curved and she was playing in the sand at her feet like a little child.

Shen Xichuan held her hand tightly, watching her play, his eyes full of pampering and indulgence.

"Slow down, don't fall."

"knew."

Xu Jialan turned around and suddenly found that there seemed to be no one on the beach.

She was stunned for a moment.

Today is the Lantern Festival, so there should be a lot of people out having fun.

But why is there no one here?

Except them, of course.

She turned around and asked him, "Is this place very remote? Why is there no one here?"

Shen Xichuan paused, “It’s okay, no one should have discovered that there is a beach here.”

Xu Jialan: “?”

How is this possible?

She didn't have time to think about anything, Shen Xichuan led her to the other side.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"It's still early, I'll take you for a walk."

Shen Xichuan glanced at the watch on his wrist.

It was a little after four in the afternoon, neither early nor late.

Xu Jialan blinked, said "oh", and followed him without asking any more questions.

There are many interesting stalls near the beach.

There are many handicrafts on display there.

Xu Jialan also bought a lot of beautiful ornaments.

Shen Xichuan stood aside, responsible for scanning the code to pay.

In a short while, his hands were full of things.

Xu Jialan turned around and saw it.

She blinked innocently, "Did I buy so much?"

The man carried a bunch of shopping bags with ease, "Not bad."

He glanced at the phone screen, not knowing what he saw, and then casually said, "I'll take these things to the car first, you wait here for me for a while, okay?"

Xu Jialan really wanted to walk around for a while longer, so he nodded without thinking too much and said, "Okay, go ahead."

As she spoke, she bent down again and continued to look at the handicrafts on another stall.

Shen Xichuan looked at her steadily for a few seconds before humming, “I’ll be back soon.”

"good."
