Shang Jingchi lowered his head and chuckled. Wen Ran turned his head to look at him, not understanding what his laughter meant.
In the end, Shang Jingchi did not give an answer, but just started to pick up other dishes for Wen Ran one after another.
The merchant was a large and powerful family, and every dish in the engagement banquet was extremely exquisite, with excellent appearance and flavor.
Wen Ran buried his head in his food and didn't ask any more questions.
She had just taken a bite of the dish when, in the blink of an eye, Shang Jingchi brought her a new dish.
Wen Ran ate silently, and the more he ate, the less flavorful it seemed to him.
After the banquet, Shang Jingchi ignored Lin Shurong's arrangements and insisted on taking Wen Ran back to Xishan Villa.
After washing up, the two went to bed. The hands on the villa clock had already pointed to the early morning.
Wen Ran lay on his side, ready to fall asleep.
Shang Jingchi stretched out his arms and, with a little effort, embraced Wen Ran into his broad and strong chest.
"Why aren't you talking?" Shang Jingchi's voice was hoarse and laziness from drinking.
"Don't you want to marry me?"
The hot air he exhaled while speaking touched Wenran's skin, making her neck itch, and her sleepiness instantly disappeared.
When the two of them came back, Wen Ran didn't say a word the whole way.
Shang Jingchi doesn't talk much on weekdays, and if Wen Ran doesn't talk, he will talk even less.
Unable to get an answer, Shang Jingchi's eyes gradually darkened.
"Well……"
Wen felt a sudden pain in his neck and subconsciously arched his back, trying to move the back of his neck away from Shang Jingchi.
Shang Jingchi relaxed his mouth. Under the bright yellow light, there was an obvious tooth mark on the back of Wen Ran's neck where he had bitten her.
Shang Jingchi was not only dissatisfied, but he became extremely irritated and angry.
"Why? Huh?" Shang Jingchi moved his hand on Wen Ran's belly upwards and clasped Wen Ran's shoulders.
He pushed hard and then stepped forward, pressing Wen Ran underneath.
"Why don't you want to marry me?" Shang Jingchi pinched Wen Ran's chin, his voice rose several decibels, and became cold.
Wen Ru'er's neck was still aching slightly, and now with the pain in her jaw, her face was twisted into a ball.
Shang Jingchi's tall figure was against the light, and his shadow was reflected on her, making her feel breathless.
"That's not what I meant." Wen Ran opened his mouth with great effort to explain, "You, you let me go first."
Wen Ran grabbed Shang Jingchi's wrists with both hands at the same time, trying to move his hand away from her chin.
I don’t understand why Shang Jingchi suddenly went crazy for no apparent reason.
Shang Jingchi has been very nice to her recently, so gentle and considerate that she almost thinks he has changed his personality.
The pain in her jaw brought her back to her senses instantly. In fact, this was Shang Jingchi's original appearance.
Domineering and unreasonable.
Wen Ran couldn't break free from Shang Jingchi's hand, and a tear slid down the corner of her eye.
Shang Jingchi's pupils moved slightly, and then he let go as if he had been electrocuted.
He said with a serious face: "Don't cry!"
Wen Ran wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
She slowed down, raised her eyelids and looked at Shang Jingchi's eyebrows and eyes, but against the light, she could not see clearly.
"Shang Jingchi, do you like me?" Wen Ran deliberately slowed down his speech.
Wen Ran vaguely saw Shang Jingchi seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then heard a dull laugh coming from his throat.
A laugh as if hearing a good joke.
Shang Jingchi scoffed lightly, "Of course, you're already 24 years old after the New Year. Why are you still asking people whether they love you or not like a child? Isn't that childish? Huh?"
Wen Ran stared intently at every change in Shang Jingchi's expression.
A sense of loss rose in my heart, along with an unfamiliar pain.
Wen Ran didn't know what was wrong with him, his eyes were sore.
At this moment, Shang Jingchi's voice came again, and his tone became firm and serious.
"Of course, you are mine, and you can only marry me in this life."
As the last word fell, Shang Jingchi's tall figure also leaned down.
Wen Ran closed his eyes.
She originally had a lot of questions to ask Shang Jingchi.
I want to ask him why he didn't tell her about getting married in advance?
I want to ask who his white moonlight is and whether he still likes her?
I want to ask him why he wanted to marry her?
But at this moment she didn't want to ask any questions, she felt it was meaningless.
Because Shang Jingchi would not tell her, and even if he told her, he would only laugh at her and call her childish like he did just now.
…
The next day.
Wen Ran washed up and went downstairs. What was different from usual was that there were two exquisite gift boxes on the dining table on the first floor.
Wu Xiumei, wearing an apron, brought breakfast to the dining table.
While serving porridge to Wen Ran, he explained with a smile, "This is a gift sent by the young master to Miss Wen. The gift box on the right contains ointment sent from abroad."
Wen Ran didn't respond, but reached out and opened the gift box on the right.
Inside was a large tube of white ointment with gold English printed on it.
She picked it up and took a closer look, but because there were too many technical terms, she couldn't understand it at all.
Wu Xiumei continued, "The young master contacted a foreign dermatologist after Miss Wen injured her arm. He was worried that Miss Wen would be unhappy if she had a scar on her arm. I heard that this medicine is very scarce and they can only produce a few tubes a year."
After she finished speaking, Wu Xiumei had the porridge in her hand ready. She brought it to Wen Ran and went to the kitchen to clean up.
I couldn't help but smile before leaving.
"I raised the young master since he was a child. Seeing him care so much about Miss Wen, I am happy too."
She even hoped that Shang Jingchi and Wen Ran could get married as soon as possible.
While she is still young, she will have the energy to take care of their children in the future.
