Chapter 18 18 A Playboy by Nature
-
On the restaurant cabinet sat a bottle of medicinal wine, in a clear glass jar filled with all sorts of tonics: deer tendon, deer penis, lingzhi mushroom, fresh ginseng from Changbai Mountain, sea dragon, cistanche, ox-dali li, rosehip, gastrodia elata...
Xuanxuan curiously unscrewed the cap and took a little juice from his own juice cup. "Mommy, what is this? Can I drink it?"
Right next to Shen Yueze, he glanced at her, picked up Xuanxuan's cup with one hand and placed it on the table, chuckling, "This isn't something someone your age should drink."
Xuanxuan felt that he had never seen anything soaking in it before, and curiously pressed his eyes against the transparent glass to look inside. "Is it a snake? I remember Grandpa used to soak snakes in jars."
Mingxiang: "This is from your second uncle, it's good for your health."
There's no need to be too direct with kids.
However, the young people couldn't help but tease him. Shen Chao laughed, "Do you guys know what this liquor is called? It's called 'Steel Bar Liquor,' lol..."
Wen Yining noticed it as soon as she arrived and guessed it was the kind of product that nourishes men's kidneys. Upon hearing the name, she instantly understood what it meant.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yueze chuckled and took a sip from his own wine glass. Having never drunk from it before, he brought it close to his nose and smelled it.
Wen Yining was actually a little nervous seeing him like this. She didn't stop him at first, but stared at him curiously. She watched him take a bite, his sexy Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and then he frowned, guessing that it didn't taste very good.
However, after only taking half a cup, Shen Yueze planned to finish it.
As Wen Yining looked at his sharply defined profile and prepared to pick up her wine glass for a second sip, she couldn't help but say, "Don't drink anymore."
He raised an eyebrow and said casually, "It's good for your health. Don't you want your husband to have some?"
"Isn't this for tonifying the kidneys?"
"Um."
His eyes gleamed somewhat slyly. "Can't I take kidney tonics?"
There were more than twenty people sitting at the table. Two children had gone to play in the living room, and only the adults were still chatting, but it was noisy, Wen Yining said without any hesitation.
"Do you need it, your kidney?" Wen Yining paused.
He gave her a meaningful look, waiting for her to finish what she was saying.
She added, "It's an age when you're full of youthful vigor."
She took his glass and placed it on her side, asking, "Will you be able to sleep tonight after you drink this?"
"I can sleep, but you might not be able to."
"You really don't need this. You're exceptionally gifted, okay?"
Wen Yining didn't say that because of a man's pride, but because she was worried that if he ate it, he would make her very tired in bed and unable to sleep all night.

Shen Chao was just rambling about the stupid thing he'd done, "I remember I was in high school back then, and I was really curious about this thing,"
"That bastard Shen Yueze, he kept urging me to drink. He wouldn't drink it himself, but he insisted on making me drink it. Damn, hahahaha."
There was a pause in the middle, and several relatives who understood were laughing. Shen Yueze also laughed casually. At the same time, he wrapped his arm around her waist, an unconscious action that was intimate and natural.
Shen Chao continued, "I secretly took this big cup. It didn't have that much stuff, but it was the kind of stuff that nourishes the kidneys. Right after I drank it, I felt fine and didn't have any reaction. I thought that was it, nothing serious."
He exclaimed exaggeratedly, then shook his head, "And then, when night fell, wow, it was so hot!"
“Hahahahahaha…”
"Hahaha, Shen Yueze is such a scoundrel, damn it."
The third uncle next to Shen Chao asked, "Did you have a girlfriend back then? I remember which one of you brought his girlfriend home and even bought her a cell phone, right? You knew how to pamper a woman back then."
Shen Chao: "That's not me, that's Shen Yueze. He's the most mature."
She turned back to herself, saying, "I'm only a first-year high school student, and I'm so upset that I couldn't sleep all night."
"This stuff is really potent. According to you, it's even more effective than those medicines."
"That's right, it's the prime of youth, and by the way, he even had a nosebleed."
"I bled for two days and got really irritable. Then, my mom saw that I was bleeding a lot and was worried, so she asked Aunt Cui to make me some blood-nourishing food. Goodness, I dare not eat any more of that."
Shen Yueze smiled mischievously, recalling this part of history.
Shen Chao also loved using his computer to watch movies, saying that the ones he found were of high quality and that the ones on those low-quality websites were no good. He would even barge into his room late at night and insist on watching movies with him.
Honestly, he doesn't have that kind of fetish. Shen Chao said, "What's wrong with that? He often gets together with the guys in his class to watch. It's no fun watching alone."
Even now, his computer still has movies that Shen Chao saved.
Once, Ye Qingchi played around with it, clicked on it, looked at the detailed categories for a while, and then gave him a meaningful look, saying, "I didn't know, bro, you have such heavy tastes, it's pretty perverted."
He was too lazy to explain. Actually, he wasn't the type of person who would save movies. Back in junior and senior high school, even if he watched something, he would only watch it once and wouldn't save it to watch a second time.
He hadn't looked for anyone since college, but Wen Yining had stripped naked for him, satisfying his tastes in every way.

Shen Songyue asked Wen Yining curiously in a low voice, "Can girls drink this, sister-in-law?"
"I don't know, why don't you give it a try?"
Shen Songyue actually took half a cup and poured some for her, saying, "Try it. Girls can have kidney deficiency too, right? It's all the same principle, isn't it?"
“Staying up late can cause kidney deficiency. I went to see a doctor a few times because of my period problems. They gave me some advice. Now, unless it's for filming, shooting night scenes, or recording a show, I don't stay up late much.”
She was a night owl in college, the kind who wouldn't sleep until the early hours of the morning, and occasionally even stayed up all night. Taking advantage of her youth and good health, she went all out.
Shen Yueze casually interjected, "You're also planning to take kidney tonics? How about I ask Grandma to make you something special for women to drink?"
“No need,” she said deliberately. “I feel that as long as you have a conscience at night, I’m probably not afraid of anything.”
He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulled her closer, and whispered in her ear, "You're just asking for it. You're always the most honest and truthful in bed."
"The effect lasts for two or three days, and it behaves quite well for the next few days, not trying to upset me. But as time goes on, it starts to say one thing and mean another."
Wen Yining's ears burned as she listened. She placed her hands on his waist; he was holding her too tightly, making it hard for her to breathe. She was surrounded by his scent—the familiar Tokyo guaiac wood perfume, with a faint hint of alcohol, which combined with her sweet fragrance, making it smell especially pleasant.
"Could you please not say that word in public?"
It's one thing to talk about it privately, but there were relatives around the few seats. Fortunately, there was plenty of space in the middle. After Shen Siyuan and the others finished eating, they went to play. Most of them went to chat with their male classmates on their phones. There was empty space on either side of them, which is why he spoke so bluntly.
He chuckled softly, pinched her lightly in a good mood, and then was called by several uncles to continue chatting.
Wen Yining couldn't understand their business talk and was a little bored, so she wanted to go next door to find Shen Songyue to play with.
But that bastard Shen Yueze wouldn't let her go. When she tried to get up and leave, his well-defined hands gripped her slender waist and pulled her into his arms, forcing her to stay close to him.
She didn't seem to care about the other relatives, but she noticed her father, Shen Zongjun's, cold gaze sweeping over her.
This person is contradictory. When he speaks, he has the approachable charm of a gentle middle-aged man, making him seem unapproachable. However, his eyes reveal a deep cunning and a subtle sense of oppression.
However, Shen Zongjun only glanced at her before looking away, placing his hands clasped on the table and continuing to speak, seemingly unconcerned about how intimate and ambiguous his son was with this vixen.
These middle-aged people talked about a lot of different things.
Healthcare, politics, military affairs, history, trade wars, technology wars, and the latest international situation.
He looked quite serious and attentive at the moment, sometimes speaking, sometimes listening casually; there was almost nothing he didn't understand.
Wen Yining actually knew that he had a wide range of knowledge and was not the kind of ignorant second-generation rich kid.
However, it reminded her of the dinner party at Xie Yuchen's villa that day, where he acted like a carefree playboy, lazy and relaxed, talking about women's figures and bedroom topics with Ye Qingchi and the others.
He says whatever is vulgar and explicit, straightforward and unrestrained, romantic and open.
When he got to her side, he became even more indecent, making no attempt to hide his desires or suppress his perverse thoughts.
He's a naturally free spirit, and he always manages to switch between different personas exceptionally well.
When we're out, we don't talk about serious matters; when we're at home, we don't talk about romance.
-
Returning home that day, Wen Yining inexplicably recalled something Shen Zongjun had once said to Shen Yueze.
This illegitimate marriage will last at most three years, no more than that.
Shen Zongjun was completely unaware of the agreement between the two, which was exactly three years. She would accompany him for three years and in return, she would get what she wanted.
It has to be said that he is a very accurate father when it comes to his son.
Shen Zongjun's perspective is actually that of a normal father, who wants what's best for his son.
But I also understand my son's personality: stubborn, obstinate, ruthless, and disregarding consequences. Trying to stop him would only backfire, so I simply ignore it.
Let Shen Yueze play around, let him steal other people's girlfriends, do whatever you want, you'll get tired of it sooner or later.
He didn't believe that this sense of novelty and desire to conquer could last long.
