So Miss Shen decided to regroup and make a comeback!

Chi Yan rested his head on his arm, turned to the side and stared at her with a half-smile in his eyes: "Then you can eat the ugly one yourself this time."

Shen Tangning blushed slightly, pursed her lips gently, and remained silent, her clear and bright eyes gazing at him.

He couldn't hold on any longer and was the first to give in. His eyelids drooped helplessly, and he chuckled almost imperceptibly, "I'll eat."

She gave a restrained, slight upturn to her lips.

Just then, Xueqing's voice came from outside the door: "Miss and son-in-law, are you up?" She paused, her voice trailing off, "The young master has arrived and is waiting in the main hall."

Shen Tangning and Chi Yan exchanged a glance subconsciously, the same thought flashing through their minds:

What is he here for?

Chi Yan's tone was rather displeased: "Coming here so early, you're not here just to freeload a meal, are you?"

Shen Tangning: "..."

Although the Marquis's family was poor, they shouldn't have to freeload off every single meal.

However, she was also very curious.

Shen Xiwei just had a miscarriage, and he's not by her side to take care of her. What's he doing here?

...

Chi Jingyu dealt with the bewildered Chi Er couple, but seemed somewhat distracted.

Just then, he heard footsteps outside the door. He looked up and saw Shen Tangning and Chi Yan walking side by side, chatting and laughing.

Snow was falling outside. Chi Yan stood with an umbrella, his expression nonchalant, but the umbrella inadvertently tilted towards the person next to him.

Shen Tangning held a hand warmer in her arms, and perhaps afraid of slipping, she carefully lifted the hem of her skirt.

She wore an eye-catching red dress today, looking charming and elegant. Chi Jingyu only knew that she liked simple and plain styles, but she didn't expect that the bright and flamboyant color would suit her so well.

The handsome man and beautiful woman entered the room together, looking surprisingly well-matched.

However, this scene seemed particularly jarring to him.

"Father, Mother."

Shen Tangning greeted the two elders, glancing at Chi Jingyu, only to meet his gaze as he looked over.

His eyes were deep and complex, seemingly containing a hint of obsessive passion, but it only flashed by, and she doubted that it was her imagination.

"Your Highness."

Upon hearing the polite address of "Your Highness," Chi Jingyu suddenly snapped out of her daze and realized that she had become someone else's wife.

No matter how much he couldn't believe it, the facts were right in front of him, and he had no choice but to accept them.

Since God has given him a second chance, why not let him wake up sooner!

Seeing Chi Jingyu staring intently at Shen Tangning, Chi Yan's initial slight displeasure turned into extreme annoyance. He subtly stepped in front of Shen Tangning, offering a seemingly polite but ultimately forced smile.

"Brother, you came uninvited this morning without even saying hello beforehand. We didn't even have time to prepare your meal!"

They seem polite, but they're actually trying to get rid of you.

Chi Jingyu slowly looked at him, then suddenly laughed, though his eyes were somewhat cold: "It's been a long time. I'd like to catch up with my second brother."

Chi Yan: ?

He went to catch up with him, but his eyes were glued to his wife.

Ha, does he look like he's a bit dim-witted?
