Chapter 176 Awkward

The soothing effect of the kiss was quite effective. Under the man's gentle kiss, Chu Shuang gradually calmed down her emotions.

After a long journey and a good cry, she was obviously tired and exhausted.

Sheng Ting patted her back and soothed her softly: "You are tired, have a good sleep, you will feel more at ease at home."

Chu Shuang closed her eyes. Besides the warm aroma, she could smell the cool and peaceful scent of the man. It had been a long time since she felt so safe.

It didn't take long for Sheng Ting to notice that her breathing was becoming steady and regular. Under the light, her eyelashes were curled beautifully and her facial features were soft and three-dimensional. The man stared at her without blinking.

"Do you want me to sleep with you?" the man said softly.

The half-asleep man said nothing.

Sheng Ting's eyes passed over the woman's slender white neck and slowly moved up, "Chushuang, do you want me to sleep here?"

Still no one answered.

The man pursed his lips, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent."

Chu Shuang fell asleep very early, but Sheng Ting did not feel sleepy for a long time. He turned the lights in the room to the softest level and held the delicate person in his arms and watched for half the night.

The alienation on her face when she was cold and aloof was still vivid in his mind. Now that he could hold her so peacefully, Sheng Ting felt very happy.

The man was still sleeping when Chu Shuang woke up. She saw the man's collarbone clearly. She paused with her head still a little fuzzy, moved slightly, and found that her upper body was held tightly in someone's arms.

No wonder she felt so hot in her dream. Her muscles were aching from maintaining the same sleeping position for a long time.

Sheng Ting was a light sleeper and woke up as soon as he noticed the movement of people around him.

When their eyes met, the air felt strangely quiet.

Hatsushimo pursed her lips, "Can you let me go?"

Sheng Ting finally responded, "...Okay."

When Hatsushimo went to the bathroom to wash up, the man sat up against the backrest and looked at the time. It was seven thirty in the morning.

Today is a sunny day. The sky is clear and the air is fresh early in the morning. The birds are singing loudly outside the window.

Chu Shuang finished washing up, came out and sat in front of the dressing table to start putting on makeup. Sheng Ting looked at her for a while and then went into the bathroom.

The man moved quickly. When Chushuang came out, she had just finished applying lotion. Their eyes met in the dressing mirror. Sheng Ting cleared his throat and said, "I'll go downstairs to check on breakfast."

"good."

As soon as the man left, Chu Shuang touched her ears, which were feeling slightly hot under her hair.

After a while, Sheng Ting brought over a plate of soup dumplings and a cup of soy milk. He noticed that Chu Shuang had put on full makeup, jewelry, and changed into her newest clothes today, obviously planning to go out.

"Are you going out for something?"

Chu Shuang: "Yao Yao asked me to go to the aquarium."

She was very beautiful today, with bright eyes, white teeth and colorful lips. The pearl earrings on her earlobes made her look bright and noble. They were a gift from him and she finally put them on.

She seems to be in a good mood.

"Are you done with your makeup?"

"It still lacks eyeliner."

Sheng Ting: "Do you want to have breakfast first?"

Chu Shuang glanced at the crystal clear soup dumplings on the plate, and her appetite was immediately aroused. "Okay."

After eating the first one and drinking the delicious gravy, she nodded, "Auntie Yuan's cooking is still as good as ever... Don't you want to eat it?"

There was only a pair of chopsticks, obviously he served it to her alone.

After thinking for a while, Chu Shuang handed him the chopsticks and said, "Try one."

"I'll go downstairs to eat later. Eat quickly. If it's not enough, I'll serve you more."

He didn't eat, but watched Chushuang eat. Chushuang felt a little unnatural while eating.

I don't know why the atmosphere between the two of them was so awkward after waking up from sleep, even though they were clearly trying their best to act familiar with each other.

After finally finishing the plate, she felt relieved.

Sheng Ting cleared the dishes and reminded her, "Remember to drink the soy milk."

When Chu Shuang came downstairs after busying herself for a while, Sheng Ting was eating breakfast with the kitten sitting beside his legs. It was a very heartwarming scene.

Sheng Ting looked at her, "Leaving now?"

She nodded. "Where are the car keys?"

"In the first drawer on the left."

After getting the key, Hatsushimo curled her lips and said, "I'll be leaving now. You can enjoy your meal."

"Okay, come back for dinner tonight?"

"I want it back."

Sheng Ting nodded in understanding: "Drive safely."

After Hatsushiro left, the room became deserted. The man put down the chopsticks he was holding, looked at the cat that was staring at the door, and reached out to touch its head.

——

Sheng Yao was surprised when she saw Chu Shuang alone, "Aunt, isn't your uncle here with you?"

Shen Jinyan was carrying Sheng Yao's lady's bag on her left shoulder. Chu Shuang was also confused when she saw the two of them, "You didn't ask me to call him, I thought it was just the two of us."

Sheng Yao: "I mean the four of us are going together. We bought four tickets."

Hatsushimo hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly spoke: "I didn't ask him what his plans were for today, so I don't know if he's still home."

"Let's make a phone call and ask. We'll wait for my uncle to come with us."

Chu Shuang took out her cell phone and looked at Sheng Yao, "How about... Yaoyao, you come and play."

Sheng Yao just raised his eyebrows without saying anything. After thinking for a while, Chu Shuang walked aside to make a phone call.

The call rang for a while before the other end answered.

"Hello?"

Hatsushimo cleared his throat, "Are you home?"

Sheng Ting spoke in a clear and deep voice, "No, I'm on my way to discuss something with the city government. What's the matter?"

"Oh, I was in a hurry this morning and didn't think of feeding the little golden retriever. I wanted to ask if you gave it something to eat."

"Don't worry, I fed her before I came."

"Then I feel relieved."

Sheng Ting: "Well, have you met Yaoyao?"

“I have met him.”

"Have fun with her."

After a few simple words, he hung up the phone. When Chu Shuang came back, Sheng Yao asked her how she was.

"He's busy at work, let's play."

After playing with Yaoyao and the others for a whole day, Shen Jinyan made a reservation at a nearby restaurant for dinner in the afternoon. Chu Shuang remembered that she had told Sheng Ting in the morning that she wanted to go home for dinner, so she politely declined their invitation and drove back first.

She thought Sheng Tingtan hadn't come back from work yet, but when she entered the house, she heard some noise in the kitchen. Aunt Yuan had just seen someone trimming the flowers and plants in the front yard, so the person in the kitchen...

When I walked in, I saw that it was indeed Shengting.

The man was wearing a black shirt with his hem tucked into his trousers, his waist straight and strong, his sleeves rolled up to reveal his strong arms, and he was frying crayfish in front of the stove.

"You're back?" Chu Shuang asked.

Sheng Ting then turned around and said, "I'm back. Let's finish the discussion as soon as possible and come back to cook for you."

It turned out that he asked her if she would come back for dinner in the morning so that he could cook for her.

After a pause of two seconds, Chu Shuang asked him, "Aren't you tired? You work during the day, and you still have to cook for me when you get home from get off work."

"That's nothing." The man didn't seem to care and put the lobsters out of the pot into a plate. "Come and taste it."

Hatsushimo walked closer, and he peeled a shrimp neatly, and passed the fresh shrimp tail to her mouth, "Try it."

Chu Shuang closed her eyes slightly and opened her mouth to eat.

“Is it salty enough?”

"That's enough."

“Is it delicious?”

Hatsushimo nodded, "It's delicious."

"Okay," Sheng Ting found a pair of disposable gloves in the kitchen cabinet and handed them to her, "Let's go out to eat."

"I'll help you."

"No, it's too fumy here. Go outside and eat some lobster while I cook a few more dishes."

Then Hatsushimo took the lobster to the table outside.

Sheng Ting’s cooking skills have always been superb. I can hardly stop eating a plate of lobster stewed with chopped chopped lobster. I always feel that everything he makes tastes especially good.

Hearing the noise in the kitchen quiet down, she got up to help him serve the dishes.

Sheng Ting saw the lobster shells she had peeled on the table, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "It seems that you are really hungry."

After hearing what he said, Hatsushimo felt a little embarrassed.

Before dinner started, Sheng Ting brought another bottle of fruit wine, filled it up and handed it to Chu Shuang. He raised his glass and said, "Welcome home, Mrs. Sheng."

Hatsushimo raised her glass to look at him, a smile on her lips, "Thank you for cooking this meal."

There was a slight awkward atmosphere in the morning, but it disappeared unnoticed after a warm dinner.
