Chapter 154 Caught in the act
At this time, the capital city was bustling with lanterns hanging high, but the streets of the small town were sparsely populated. There were barely a few vendors manning the streets, but most of them were because business was slow during the day.
Lin Yurou and Shen Changhe were walking on the street, but they didn't feel bored at all. Perhaps when two people who love each other are together, they will never feel bored no matter what they do.
"Such a big thing happened in the Lin family, why didn't you tell me?" Lin Yurou asked.
Shen Changhe pursed his lips and said softly, "I can handle it."
Lin Yurou felt very uncomfortable. "The Shen family is already in a difficult situation. If the emperor knew that you were suppressing this matter, it would definitely bring you trouble."
If she knew that her father agreed to the Shen family's marriage for this reason, she would never agree to it. She didn't want to become a burden to him.
Shen Changhe raised a smile at the corner of his lips, and tentatively approached to hook her fingers, "You don't even mind the troubles of my Shen family, and you are willing to marry me, how could I mind your troubles."
Lin Yurou's eyes felt sore and misty, and she felt a little guilty.
He is such a gentleman, but she often uses tricks to frame him. It is really wrong.
She was silent and sullen. Shen Changhe pulled her to stand in the corridor to shield her from the cold wind. "Don't worry. With me, the Fourth Prince, and your eldest brother, we can definitely handle it."
Lin Yurou looked up at him, bit her red lips slightly, and nodded lightly, "You have to do what you can, and do everything under the condition of ensuring your own safety, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Shen Changhe chuckled, "If something happens to me, you will just feel guilty."
Lin Yurou's face turned red, and she punched his chest with her fair and tender fist. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did you become a bad person?"
"It's all because of your good teaching." Shen Changhe realized something was wrong after he said it, and his face turned red.
He was not like this before. For some reason, Meng Lang could speak without hesitation when facing her now.
"I don't care what I say, so don't take it to heart."
Lin Yurou curled the corners of her lips. The night was very dark. The few scattered lanterns could only barely illuminate that small area, but the figures of the two of them were completely blended into the night.
She bravely stepped forward and put her arms around his waist, pressing her pretty little face against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat getting faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out, and her breathing became rapid.
"Yu Rou," Shen Changhe's hoarse voice rubbed Lin Yu Rou's eardrums, making her shy.
"I...I'm a little cold. Can you block the wind for me?"
Shen Changhe stood still for a long while before Lin Yurou slowly let go of him. "Changhe, if... one day, you knew that I lied to you, would you be fed up with me?"
Shen Changhe raised his hand and couldn't help but touch her delicate face, and said softly, "No."
"If you suddenly find out that I am scheming and plotting against you, won't you?"
Shen Changhe smiled lightly, "What are you plotting against me? I'm a grown man, what can you plot against me?"
He naturally hugged her shoulders, "If it's for me, anything is fine. If it's for others, I will atone with you, as long as it's not..."
“Nothing…” Lin Yurou said with a cute smile on her face.
Shen Changhe pursed his lips and said after a long while, "As long as I'm not traveling with some cousin Chen or a strange gentleman, I can accept it."
"Tsk, you are so stingy."
Shen Changhe doesn't think he is stingy. This is the most unacceptable problem for a man. All men in the world should be the same.
"What are you doing?"
An unpleasant voice suddenly sounded behind them. They turned around and saw Lin Ye standing in the cold wind.
"..." Shen Changhe immediately let go of Lin Yurou, and for the first time, a guilty look appeared on his face.
"Brother Lin, I..."
"What?" Lin Ye said with a sullen face, "Don't tell me you were chatting."
That's true. Shen Changhe thought to himself, but he was indeed rude and unruly just now, so he didn't say anything and just stood there awkwardly.
Lin Yurou tried to refute with embarrassment and guilt, "Why are you asking me? Didn't you see everything?"
"..." Lin Ye was so angry that he disappeared when he went back to take a shower. Did she still think she was right?
Without saying a word, he went up the stairs and pulled Lin Yurou in front of him, "Go back, you are such a grown-up girl, aren't you ashamed?"
Lin Yurou pouted, "We have our parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. We will get married after the new year. We love each other and it's above board. What...what is there to be ashamed of?"
She spoke the last sentence in a very low voice, feeling guilty.
No matter how she refuted, she did not dare to break free from Lin Ye's hand. She could only turn around and hook her finger at Shen Changhe, asking him to go back with her.
Shen Changhe's embarrassment disappeared, and a doting smile appeared on his face.
After all, they were spending the night outside, and despite Shen Anan's strong opposition, Xiao Yuan was relatively calm. He hugged her and didn't dare to make any other small movements.
Perhaps because she was used to her bed, Shen Anan woke up early in the morning. The person beside her had long disappeared. Mo Xiang heard the sound and came in to help her change clothes and wash up.
After she had packed up and went out, she saw Shen Changhe, the Lin siblings, and Xiao Yuan sitting in the lobby on the first floor. There was food on the table, but they didn't eat. They must be waiting for her.
Shen Anan felt that she had gotten up very early today, but she didn't expect them to get up even earlier.
After going downstairs, she realized that the atmosphere was wrong.
Lin Yurou pouted and looked unhappy. Lin Ye protected Lin Yurou behind him as if she were his treasure, and sat between Shen Changhe and Lin Yurou with a sullen face.
Shen Anan glanced at her eldest brother. He was fine yesterday. What happened? Did he bully Miss Lin? I don’t think so.
Shen Changhe lowered his head uncomfortably, "Hurry up and sit down. I've been waiting for you for a while. How can you sleep in when your husband is up? If it gets out, you'll get into trouble."
"..." After being lectured early in the morning, Shen Anan pursed her lips and said nothing, sitting down in the empty seat next to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan glanced at the Lin brothers and sisters, then at Shen Changhe, and said indifferently, "My wife has always been like this at home."
“…”
The atmosphere during the meal was very strange. Shen Anan also saw Lin Ye's dissatisfaction with Shen Changhe, and became even more puzzled.
