Chapter 3 Uncle

When Chu Shuang was about to fall asleep at night, she received a call from her cousin.

"I'm going to Xiangcheng on a business trip tomorrow. It'll take about a week. I'll come to see you while I'm here."

Chu Shuang had not yet told her family about her change of job to the capital, and she hesitated and said, "I'm not in Xiangcheng anymore."

"Um?"

"I've been in the capital for over a month. I signed a contract with a comic company and am working here."

Shen Jinyan sighed, "Why didn't you tell your family?"

"I changed jobs several times and traveled so far. I'm afraid my grandfather will be worried. Brother, don't tell him yet."

"It's good to work in the capital. Grandpa was worried that you would have trouble coordinating after marriage because your work city is too far from the capital. By the way, do you live in the company dormitory? If it's not convenient, I'll contact someone to find you a house."

"I'm staying at a friend's house for now," Chu Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Brother, help me find a suitable place. It's not good to stay at someone else's house all the time."

"Okay, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, I'll have someone pick you up to celebrate the festival."

Chu Shuang smiled and said, "I can go back by myself. It would be troublesome for you to send someone to pick me up."

"Grandpa said that the Sheng family might come to propose marriage after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If the days before the New Year are good, your marriage with the Sheng family will most likely not be delayed until next year."

Chu Shuang was answering the phone while looking at the sketch. It took her a while to hear Shen Jinyan's words and then she suddenly raised her eyes.

Yes, her marriage partner is the Sheng family!

She had never thought about it in this regard before, but when she saw Sheng Yang today, she suddenly realized that her marriage partner was most likely him.

"elder brother."

"Um?"

"How many families with a little power in the imperial capital have the surname Sheng?"

"There should be only one family. I have never heard of any other Sheng family in the imperial capital."

Chu Shuang pursed her lips, it must be.

Apparently, Sheng Yang is her fiancé whom she has never met.

It was really a coincidence.

However, after living in the Sheng family for such a period of time, she has basically understood the family style of the Sheng family. Everyone is good, and there is nothing to complain about as her future in-laws.

Sheng Yang is a serious, cold, gentle and polite person. Judging from his appearance and behavior, he is a reliable person. The key is that he is too good-looking. Chu Shuang has liked beautiful things since she was a child, so she is quite accepting of this fiancé.

Even if there is no love, there is nothing wrong in living with a handsome man with good character and respect for each other. Besides, she likes her sister-in-law and mother-in-law so much.

Ever since Chu Shuang knew that Sheng Yang was her fiancé, she always unconsciously kept her eyes on him.

After observing his eating habits, his speech manners, and his daily routine for a few days, we came to the conclusion that Sheng Yang was in a stable mood, had good living habits, was rigorous and serious at work, and was organized and planned in his work.

The standard for high-quality young men.

These little actions of hers were soon discovered by Sheng Yao and Mrs. Sheng.

Early in the morning, the two had been secretly watching Chu Shuang for five minutes. She was standing in the garden stretching, her hands and feet were moving, but her eyes were always on Sheng Yang who was also doing morning exercises not far away.

Sheng Yao took a bite of the apple and sighed slightly, "The little girl has brought trouble to the people around me."

"Your brother is indeed easy to be liked by girls."

After Sheng Yang finished his exercise, Chu Shuang turned around calmly. At the same time, Sheng Yao and Madam Sheng also entered the house.

After guessing that Chu Shuang might have feelings for her elder brother, Sheng Yao wanted to help her sister, so she told her that the opera house's work hours had been advanced recently and she could no longer send Chu Shuang to the company.

So the task of taking Chushuang to work became Sheng Yang. On weekdays, Sheng Yang's driver would first take Chushuang to the company and then to the headquarters building.

As it happened more and more times, Chu Shuang started to feel that something was wrong. At the beginning, Sheng Yao had already given her a timely help by letting her live in his house. It would be troublesome for her to have someone pick her up and drop her off at work.

Before, when I was with Sheng Yao, I didn't think it was a big deal because we were of the same age and sisters. Now, I really need to move to a new place as soon as possible. It's not a long-term solution to stay with someone else every day.

Although that home was her home long ago.

After knowing her thoughts, Madam Sheng tried her best to keep her, but Chu Shuang was determined to move out, so she told her to stay for a while longer and move in after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the weekend, Sheng Yang was not at home. Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Sheng seemed to be on a date. Sheng Yao was taking a lazily nap on the sofa, and Chu Shuang was playing with the puppy in the yard.

The weather is a bit sultry today. I played with the puppy for a while. The blue sky seemed to be covered by thick dark clouds, and Chushuang was also feeling a bit sleepy.

Knowing it was going to rain, she retreated back to the high eaves, sat in the old chair, and let her eyelids become increasingly heavy. Just before she fell asleep, she heard the sound of raindrops hitting the tiles.

Sleeping on a rainy day is the most relaxing way to relax your mind. The air is mixed with the scent of tender green grass and slightly dry earth. The regular dripping of rain is the best lullaby, which inevitably reminds people of their childhood. Too many such rainy days were spent falling asleep to the whispering of grandma.

Hatsushimo relaxed completely and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The delicate flowers in the flower garden were baptized by the rain. Some drifted away with the water, while others remained strong and bright, each forming its own unique landscape.

The carps in the pond seem to like rainy days and will occasionally poke their heads out of the water.

The sky gradually darkened. I don't know how much time had passed. When the accumulated water in the yard turned into a stream, a car stopped steadily outside the door.

A moment later, a pair of straight legs in a suit walked into the door. The hands holding the black umbrella were cold and white, keeping the moisture and air conditioning out.

The puppy in Hatsushiro's arms raised its head alertly and barked at the man who was strolling in the garden. Its bark attracted the man's attention.

In the old wooden chair, the woman had picturesque features and her face was slightly tilted. The ends of her slender eyebrows were lost in her black hair. The color of her lips and skin formed a sharp contrast. The combination of purity and beauty was just right. She was sleeping soundly.

The barking of the dog also woke her up. She opened her eyes and saw the dark sky and the tall and straight figure that could not be ignored in her unclear vision.

The man holding the black umbrella had stern features, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with endless darkness, as deep as the desolate moon over the prairie. Every step he took was steady and self-controlled, and ripples of shallow water scattered everywhere, as if even the dripping rain on the eaves had slowed down.

A few lights in the courtyard came on.

Seeing his deep eyebrows and eyes, a word popped up in Chu Shuang's mind.

Jade Mountain fell.

The man's dark pupils were deep and unfathomable, his brows were indescribably deep, his eyelids had shallow folds, the curve of the tails of his eyes was graceful, and his brows were as calm as a deep pool.

The skin is a cool white that feels alienated, and the superior three-dimensional facial features are so perfect that it is hard to forget them after just one look.

She stood up, still a little dazed and slow from waking up. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

The man's eyes swept across her misty brows with a scrutinizing look.

"They are not here. Only Sheng Yao is at home." Chu Shuang turned around and walked back home while holding the puppy. "You sit down and have a cup of tea first. Aunt Sheng and the others should be back soon."

"Uncle?"

When Sheng Yao saw the man, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"The lights aren't on," the man put away his umbrella and pressed the switch on the wall, lighting up the lobby instantly. "Did you just wake up?"

"Um……"

Facing Sheng Ting, Sheng Yao suddenly became reserved. He said "I'll pour you a cup of tea" and went to the tea room.
