☆, Chapter 23 Mrs. Wen, please help me tie my tie
She changed her posture and leaned against the sofa. Wen Yuci sat beside her and pulled off her blanket, smiling: "Mrs. Wen is quite arrogant and domineering."
Shu Wanning nodded: "Isn't it you? The unchallenged prince in the Beijing circle."
Outsiders always say this, and she heard a few of them and now uses them to tease him.
She put away her phone and turned her head to look at him: "I have always known that when it is time to enjoy, don't be stingy, whether it is money or status.
Besides, these are things I have never had before, so if I take advantage of my status as Mrs. Wen and act recklessly, would Mr. Wen mind? "
Wen Yuci shook his head and smiled happily, "No."
He forked a piece of watermelon and handed it to Shu Wanning, saying quietly, "Why haven't you used the card I gave you?"
"I don't have any money to spend." Shu Wanning said innocently, "Everything I wear and use is delivered to me. I haven't even opened the new bag I received yesterday. I don't need to spend money on anything, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation."
What she didn't say was that there was no need to buy so much, and she didn't want to take it with her if they divorced, and she wasn't sure where she would go after the divorce.
She turned around and continued to play her elimination game. At the same time, her and Wen Yuci's phones rang. It was Ye Jiahui saying in the group that they were going out to play.
Shu Wanning shook her head: "You go play with them, I still have a manuscript to finish."
Wen Yuci: "I'm not going. I have a meeting this afternoon."
Seeing that the two of them were not going, Qiu Yuerong glanced at Cen You who was lying on her legs. The two looked at each other and got the same answer: not to go out.
…
The next morning, when Shu Wanning rubbed his neck and went downstairs, Wen Yuci was already sitting at the dining table, wearing a simple white shirt, with his jacket and tie draped over the chair.
Two buttons of his shirt were undone, and his collarbone and part of his chest were vaguely visible.
Shu Wanning looked at him twice more, then sat next to him and continued rubbing his neck.
"Is your neck uncomfortable?" Wen Yuci asked.
"Yeah, I have a stiff neck."
The breakfast was simple. When Shu Wanning put down her chopsticks, Wen Yuci reached out and pulled her stool closer to him.
Shu Wanning was a little scared. Before she could say anything, his hand was on her neck and rubbed it gently.
His hands were large and warm, and his movements were gentle, but when he clamped the back of her neck, Shu Wanning said uncomfortably, "Don't rub it, it won't hurt soon."
"Hiss... Wen Yuci, be gentle."
Wen Yuci softened his grip, and the living room was quiet, filled only with the sound of each other's breathing. After a few minutes, he finally withdrew his hand and said, "Let's see if it feels better."
Shu Wanning twisted her neck and found it indeed much more comfortable. Just as she was about to thank him, Wen Yuci handed her a tie.
Wen Yuci: "As a thank you, please help me tie my tie, Mrs. Wen. It's not very convenient for me to use one hand."
Shu Wanning took the tie and half-bent over, waiting. He didn't think she would refuse him.
She raised her hand to lift his collar, then lifted up his tie and hid it under his collar. The man in front of her had a heavy look in his eyes, and a greedy gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
He lowered his head and moved closer to her, and said with a laugh that seemed to escape from his chest: "Thank you, Mrs. Wen."
He was too close, Shu Wanning's hands trembled, and he suddenly tightened the tie around his neck.
Wen Yuci raised his hand to loosen his tie, picked up his coat with his other hand and said jokingly, "Mrs. Wen is very brave to murder her own husband."
Shu Wanning: "I like being a widow."
She sat back in the chair and picked up the coffee, watching Wen Yuci walk out of the living room, pursed her lips slightly, thinking about how it was inconvenient to use one hand, this person was deliberately teasing her.
She put down her coffee, gently stirred the coffee in front of her with a spoon, and was stunned for a moment as she watched the vortex appear in the cup.
The flowers on the table were a little wilted. She drank the coffee in one gulp. When she stood up, Aunt Jing came in holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Madam, these are the flowers ordered by the young master. The flower delivery man said that he would deliver flowers every three days.
If you don't like any of them, he won't send you any of them in the future."
Still holding a large bouquet of flowers, Shu Wanning's fingertips gently fiddled with the petals, and finally revealed a faint smile: "I like them all."
She took a few flowers and returned to the bedroom. Her cell phone rang at the right time. It was Ye Jiahui inviting her to go shopping together.
The words of rejection appeared on the screen. Looking at the bank card that had never been moved on the bedside table, I remembered what Wen Yuci had said before.
She accepted the invitation and chose a white sweater dress from her wardrobe, and wore a camel cashmere coat over it.
The meeting was scheduled for noon. When she left, the housekeeper had already prepared the car and the driver. When she got in the car, Uncle Qiao was waiting by the side and said:
"Young Madam, in the car behind you is a personal bodyguard selected by the young master to protect your safety and help carry your bag."
Shu Wanning: "I... just went shopping."
Uncle Qiao: "Just in case, your safety is the most important."
Shu Wanning nodded and got into the car. What she didn't know was that after seeing the faces of the Shu family, Wen Yuci had already chosen bodyguards for her.
When they arrived at the agreed location, Ye Jiahui was standing next to the car, holding a delicate and lovely handbag. Seeing Shu Wanning, she waved excitedly: "Sister-in-law!"
She trotted over, took Shu Wanning's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, let me take you to a store I used to go to!"
Shu Wanning was not used to her touch, but fortunately Ye Jiahui let go of her arm and followed her into the store, only to find that several nice clothes in the store had already appeared in her closet.
"Welcome, ladies. Would you like to try on the clothes yourself or use a model?"
Ye Jiahui looked at Shu Wanning affectionately and asked, "Sister-in-law, I usually let models try it out. What about you?"
Shu Wanning didn't know if she was being overly suspicious. Her words sounded uncomfortable, but the smile on her face was impeccable.
She sat on the sofa beside her, met Ye Jiahui's eyes and replied, "I'm not buying anything. I already have everything in the store in my closet."
"Then sister-in-law, please help me choose!"
She sat next to Shu Wanning, holding a tablet computer and choosing clothes. The clerk observed her physical features, and soon a model appeared in front of her wearing the clothes she had chosen.
"Which one do you think looks good?"
She asked Shu Wanning seriously, and Shu Wanning thought that she had probably overthought it before.
Feeling relieved, I gave her a serious answer: "My opinion is that the first, third and sixth items are more suitable for you."
She had indeed observed the model carefully. Hearing her words, Ye Jiahui smiled and said, "What a coincidence! What I like is the same as my sister-in-law's!"
She handed over the card to pay. Shu Wanning stood up and looked around the store casually when her eyes were suddenly attracted by a brooch.
It was in the shape of a silvery-white rose, and the design was simple. She lowered her eyes and looked at it for a long time. The clerk asked softly, "Hello, do you need me to wrap it?"
"Sister-in-law, you have a really good eye, but... please don't think I'm too talkative...
From what I understand, Brother Yuci should like this."
Following her fingertips, Shu Wanning saw a brooch with a golden wheat ear. She raised her eyebrows slightly, took out a bank card from her pocket and handed it to the clerk.
She pointed to the rose brooch and said, "I like this. He doesn't have to wear it if he doesn't like it."
