The moment Chu Tianling saw Shen Jiaojiao walking towards him, he couldn't see anyone else. He strode forward, past Shen's father, grabbed Shen Jiaojiao's hand, and put on a worthless smile.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at that handsome face, then at her parents who were watching the show, coughed, and tugged at Chu Tianling's sleeve: "Husband, eat first, be normal!"
The word "husband" kept echoing in Chu Tianling's mind, and his lips never twitched. He said in a deep voice, "Okay, whatever you say!"
Wang stepped past the two men, grabbed Chen Wanshan by the waist, pinched him hard, and said softly, "Hurry up and leave! What are you looking at!"
Shen Dashan hissed softly twice and quickly strode away, rubbing his waist where he had just been pinched as he walked.
Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
Shen Jiaojiao took in all of this and couldn't help but chuckle softly. This kind of relationship is really nice!
Chu Tianling didn't know what there was to envy. He was clearly smarter than the foolish Shen father and treated Jiao Jiao better. He should try to show his abilities more in the future.
The four sat down. The Shen family was used to not having servants serve the food, so they did it themselves. Suppressing his complicated feelings, Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Let's eat!"
Chu Tianling sat down and eagerly ladled soup for Shen Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, have some hot soup to whet your appetite!"
Seeing that it was her favorite pork rib soup, Shen Jiaojiao naturally took it and took a sip: "Mmm! Delicious!"
Before the Shen couple could even blink, Chu Tianling picked up his chopsticks and eagerly placed another slice of meat on her plate, saying softly, "Jiaojiao, eat more meat!"
"Jiaojiao..."
"Jiaojiao..."
The Shen couple were completely ignored. Shen's father stared blankly for a long time, thinking, "I never expected Your Highness to be like this." He turned to look at Wang Shi and received a glare from her.
What a useless piece of trash! Look how other people treat their wives, he has no sense of propriety at all.
Shen Dashan: Ouch, my back hurts a bit! I got pinched for no reason, what a miserable life! The braised pork knuckle looks good today, I'll have a few more bites!
Ms. Wang: I'm relieved that the two have a good relationship. Let the young people live their own lives!
Madam Wang nodded secretly. This time, she found Chu Tianling pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at him. His status as the Crown Prince was good, his figure and appearance were handsome, and he was good to Jiao Jiao! She was extremely satisfied.
Chu Tianling kept an eye on Jiao Jiao and waited until she was full before starting his own meal. He ate a few bites and then put down his chopsticks.
Shen Dashan, feeling frustrated, ate two extra bowls of rice, only to be kicked twice under the table by Wang Shi for no apparent reason!
Women are such a hassle! Luckily, there's only one in the family! He sighed again.
The meal is finished.
Seeing his mother-in-law about to speak, Chu Tianling guessed that Jiaojiao was about to be taken away again! He absolutely would not allow it!
So he smiled brightly and said to Madam Wang, "Mother, this is my first time visiting the Shen residence! I'd like to see where Jiaojiao used to live. Could Jiaojiao show me around this afternoon?"
Chu Tianling was already as handsome as Pan An, and now with his cunning smile, it was as if a fairy had cast a spell on him, making it impossible to resist. Without a second's hesitation, he said loudly, "Hey! Of course you can, Jiaojiao! Take him for a walk. He can take a nap when he gets tired."
Chu Tianling stole glances at Shen Jiaojiao, greedily taking in the surrounding scenery as they walked. These were all places where Jiaojiao had lived, and even a small flower or a blade of grass seemed to become interesting.
Arriving at the Guerlain Pavilion, we pushed open the door and were greeted by a riot of colorful flowers in full bloom, as if we had stumbled into some mysterious garden, brimming with life.
Is this where Jiaojiao grew up?
Chu Tianling surveyed the area with unrestrained curiosity, not missing a single detail; he wanted to know everything about Jiaojiao.
After dealing with Wang Shi for half a day, I felt like my brain was about to crash. Now that I've eaten my fill and walked a few steps, my eyes are barely able to stay open.
Once in the room, Shen Jiaojiao sat on the bed to catch her breath. The sunlight was too warm, the air too fresh, and the blanket too soft. She fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Chu Tianling dismissed everyone around him, closed the door, and carefully examined his surroundings.
He imagined Jiaojiao usually looking at the flowers outside the window and feeling the fragrance in the wind. He sat on the windowsill by the window, stroking it, and smiled.
He imagined Jiaojiao sitting in front of this dressing table to draw her eyebrows and apply makeup. He sat down, opened the drawer, and carefully examined each piece of jewelry inside, imagining how beautiful they would look on Jiaojiao's head.
After searching every nook and cranny of the room, I finally looked at the sleeping person.
What should I do? It seems like I'm getting deeper and deeper into this mess.
The mere thought of the lovely woman in his bed being his wife filled him with a surge of excitement, as if the feeling of helplessness he once felt had never returned.
He lay down gently, surrounded by her sweet scent, too excited to sleep.
Staring intently at the sleeping person, his gaze swept over the tightly closed eyes, the rosy cheeks, and fixed on the slightly parted red lips. He could sneak a kiss without anyone noticing!
He silently encouraged himself, slowly suppressing his emotions, each thrust filling his heart with love for his beloved.
Chunhua and Chuncao had already been called away by Madam Wang when Shen Jiaojiao and Chu Tianling returned to their room.
Madam Wang inquired in detail about the various aspects of Jiao Jiao's interactions with the Crown Prince.
Then, he subtly warned them to take good care of the Crown Princess and to promptly suppress any attempts to rise in rank. He also instructed them to return immediately if they encountered any problems they couldn't resolve.
They only let the servant go back to serve after they had said everything they could.
Shen Jiaojiao slept exceptionally well this time. When she woke up, the lights in the room were already on.
"Spring Flower!"
Shen Jiaojiao got up and held her forehead; Chu Tianling's absence was somewhat unexpected.
Chunhua came in and helped Shen Jiaojiao up, whispering, "The Crown Princess is awake. The young master went to the front hall for dinner. Madam sent people to invite you three times. The young master was worried about waking you up, so he asked us to stand guard at the door and bring the food to your room if you wake up."
Shen Jiaojiao's mind slowly began to clear. Oh, she came home today!
Chunhua glanced at Shen Jiaojiao cautiously: "Madam said that it's already very late today, so why don't we rest at the mansion for the night and go back tomorrow morning?"
I don't mind sleeping with Shen Jiaojiao for one night, but I don't know if Chu Tianling is willing.
Shen Jiaojiao cleared her throat and said, "Okay, bring up dinner!"
Chunhua and Chuncao turned around and went out to instruct the servants to bring the food over.
After finishing her dinner, Shen Jiaojiao noticed that Chu Tianling hadn't returned yet, and hurriedly asked, "Has Your Highness finished eating?"
Upon hearing Shen Jiaojiao's question, Chunhua quickly replied, "I just heard Dongmei say that His Highness the Crown Prince went to play chess with the Master."
"What? Playing chess!" Shen Jiaojiao really couldn't imagine that her father, a rough and uncultured man, would ever enjoy such an elegant activity.
How strange!
