Chapter 72 I will protect her as if she were my life
These words made Shen Xingli's face turn red.
This man always flirts with her unexpectedly.
It made her lose her composure.
She pinched his arm hard: "Don't talk nonsense, there are so many people here, can't I satisfy you tonight?"
Seeing her like this, Sang Muye finally smiled.
"Mrs. Sang must keep her word."
"Okay, go in quickly, grandma is waiting."
The two men were the last to enter the hall.
Grandma was very happy to see that the two of them had such a good relationship.
He immediately brought out the desserts he had prepared long ago and said, "These are all Li Li's favorites, and your uncle also sent them to you from the army. Come and eat them quickly."
Shen Xingli picked up a piece of candy and stuffed it into Sang Muye's mouth.
Smiling, he asked, "Are uncles and his family not coming back this year?"
"Your uncle received an urgent mission and had to stay behind in the army. Your cousin works in national defense, so it's not easy for him to come out. It's New Year's Day, and we are the only two old people left. It's thanks to Qi An that he always comes to us."
Hearing this, Sang Muye immediately said, "Uncle and cousin are the pride of grandparents. You are cultivating pillars of the country and are our role models."
This sentence made grandma smile happily: "Our Makino speaks so nicely. Come, it's our first meeting, grandma will give you a big red envelope."
Sang Muye looked at the super thick red envelope in the old lady's hand and took it with a smile.
"Thank you, grandma. I brought you some gifts. I heard you like jade, so I bought a few pieces at the auction. You can take a look later."
When my grandfather saw this scene, he didn't lag behind and immediately took out several red envelopes from his pocket.
"Here, this is from grandpa, your uncle, aunt, and cousin. They told me to tell them that they will definitely be there when you have your wedding banquet."
Sang Muye was a little flattered.
He had never been taken so seriously before.
Even if he wasn't there, he was given a red envelope.
He looked at Shen Xingli with a somewhat bewildered look.
Seeing him like this, Shen Xingli immediately took the red envelope from his grandfather.
She smiled and said, "Honey, let me hold it for you."
Sang Muye then smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. Thank my uncle and the others for me, too."
"What are you thanking me for? This is what they should give. This is for Li Li."
Shen Xingli held a stack of red envelopes and said with a smile, "Wow, getting married is so great! I can receive two red envelopes."
Sang Muye smiled and rubbed her head: "What's mine is my wife's."
Sang Muye had never felt this kind of feeling of being valued by his family.
That kind of happiness that comes from the heart unconsciously emerges.
Shen Xingli not only brought him warmth, but also gave him a sense of belonging to home.
For the first time, he felt that he was not an abandoned child.
Hearing him say this, Shen Xingchen on the side became jealous: "Grandpa, didn't my uncle tell me to give me a double portion? No, I should get three portions. I have a son."
Grandpa chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait until you bring it back to me."
Shen Xingchen: Is he being disliked again?
Shen Xingli held a bunch of red envelopes in her arms and smiled at Shen Xingchen.
"Wow, so many red envelopes, I can't spend them all, I really can't spend them all, brother."
Shen Xingchen gritted his teeth in anger, not daring to be cruel to his sister, but suddenly punched Sang Muye.
"Sang Muye, look at your wife, she's such a loser, stupid and money-hungry person."
Sang Muye was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled at him and said, "But I like her like this."
Shen Xingchen: “…”
Doesn't everyone say that he is cold and aloof?
Hasn't he always been cold-blooded and ruthless?
Why does the words sound so flirty?
Shen Xingchen glared at him angrily: "Just because you have a wife, do you have to be so cocky? You haven't seen a wife in several lifetimes."
Sang Muye's lips curved slightly: "Brother, you want to show off, don't you?"
This sentence made Shen Xingchen's forehead veins throb.
He stared at Sang Muye for a long time without being able to say anything.
Everyone looked at the two of them bickering and burst into laughter.
There was a hint of bitterness in Qi An's eyes.
He didn't expect that the girl he had watched grow up was already a wife.
He served in the army for ten years, and when his career was on the rise, he chose to change his career.
Because he wanted to be closer to Shen Xingli.
He wanted to protect the little girl at all times.
But he never imagined that the little girl who used to chase after him and call him "Brother Qi An" had already become someone else's wife.
He smiled bitterly, said hello to his family and said, "I just came to see Li Li. I have to visit relatives later. I'll leave now."
Seeing that he looked a little lonely, Shen Xingchen immediately stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
Just as Qi An was about to leave, Shen Xingli suddenly spoke up: "Brother Qi An, are you leaving again after you come back this time?"
Qi An was stunned for a few seconds, then replied: "No, I'm not leaving. I've already transferred to the place."
"Really? Where did it go? Is it far from me?"
"Captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Jingcheng Public Security Bureau."
Shen Xingli's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, Brother Qi An is awesome! He's even the captain now. I won't be afraid of being kidnapped by bad guys anymore."
Qi An looked at her with some concern: "Have you been kidnapped?"
Shen Xingli realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately smiled: "I was just kidding, you go and do your work first, we will watch the lanterns together in the evening."
"Okay, I happen to have tickets here."
After saying that, he nodded to the others and turned to leave.
When they walked into the yard, Qi An couldn't help but take out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Shen Xingchen.
He looked at her with dejected eyes: "Why haven't you told me about Li Li's affairs? Are you afraid that I'll be sad?"
Shen Xingchen took the cigarette, lit it for him, took a puff and said, "This was an accident. If you had come back two months earlier, you might have been my brother-in-law.
But Li Li is simple-minded. She never knows what you are thinking and always treats you as her brother. If you want to continue to maintain this family relationship, control your emotions, otherwise not only you will be hurt, but also Li Li.
Sang Muye is not a good person, don't mess with him."
Qi An took several puffs of his cigarette, his voice muffled.
"I don't blame anyone for this. I should have expected this outcome when I joined the army. How could Li Li, such a good girl, not be remembered by others?
But that's okay. My career is unstable and I might die one day. I don't want Li Li to feel sad for me."
"What are you talking about? Even if you're not a couple, do you think she won't be sad if you die? Live well. If there's a good girl in the future, I'll introduce her to you."
Qi An smiled and said, "You already have a son, how come I don't know?"
Shen Xingchen smiled bitterly: "Even I didn't know. Jiang Zhihan slept with me and ran away. How could I know she was pregnant? And then she suddenly gave birth to a big son for me yesterday. I was shocked."
"Haha, who made you so arrogant back then? People chased you all the way home, but you kicked them out. I think your road to chasing your wife is not going to be easy."
The two men stood in the yard and talked for a while before Qi An left.
In the hall.
Father Shen looked at Sang Muye very proudly: "Muye, I heard from your grandfather that you are very good at chess. Try it with your grandfather. He is a famous chess master here. I have never beaten him once. Make dad proud."
Sang Muye laughed and said, "Then I'm definitely no match for Grandpa."
"What are you afraid of? A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. What if you win?"
Three people sat at the chess table and started playing chess.
Shen Xingli also sat next to Sang Muye and watched.
I fell asleep in a short while.
Sang Muye rested her head on his thigh, then took off his coat and covered Shen Xingli with it.
Every time he made a move, he had to look down at her.
He either pinched her ears or casually rubbed her cheek.
He lost several games.
He said with some politeness, "Grandpa's chess skills are truly well-deserved. I admit defeat."
Grandpa looked at him and said with a smile, "Playing chess requires a calm mind. Your mind is all on that girl. How can you possibly beat me?
But seeing that you care about her so much, I feel relieved. Li Li is the treasure of our two families. She is our only daughter, so you must protect her well."
Sang Muye looked at Shen Xingli with deep eyes, his voice low and full of incomparable determination.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I've liked her for so many years. I finally got her. I will definitely protect her as if she were my own life."
After saying this, Shen Xingli, who had been sleeping in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes.
She stared blankly into his eyes that were full of affection.
