The last two words are used in an affirmative tone.
Zhou Zuizui's eyes were full of cunning as she looked at Shen Nan smugly.
Shen Nan was well aware of what kind of person his wife was. She was bold and direct, rarely hesitant or coy. Even when they got married, she was the one who made the first decision.
He sat in the chair, squinting at the woman not far away.
She had long, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, sitting on the bed with a relaxed and casual expression, a hint of excitement in her eyes, which sparkled as she looked at herself. Further down... her red lips were upturned, making her particularly eye-catching.
Her lips looked even more alluring than when I saw her this morning.
Suddenly, Shen Nan remembered the way she had been pinned down by him just now. His eyes darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed, and under Zhou Zuizui's gaze, he got up and walked towards her.
"What...do you want to do?"
After the teasing, Zhou Zuizui belatedly realized... Men's affairs in that area seem to be beyond question, yet she had just been recklessly teasing him.
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile playing on his lips: "What do you think?"
His question was full of hidden meaning and carried a strong implication.
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and placed both hands on either side of Zhou Zuizui, trapping her inside with an extremely oppressive force. When Shen Nan got serious, Zhou Zuizui was completely powerless to fight back.
When he got closer to her, his breathing became heavier, and his jaw tightened, as if if Zhou Zuizui said one more word... he really wanted to show her what it meant to be "hard".
Zhou Zuizui choked, her eyes darting away. She forcefully pushed the man away, climbed off the bed, and stood to one side with her shoes on. Looking at the man who was looking back at her, she coldly asked, "What do you plan to do now?"
At this moment, the only way to save myself is to change the subject.
Sure enough, once this topic came up, Shen Nan stopped teasing her.
He stared intently at Zhou Zuizui for a long time, then remained silent for a while before looking at her and saying, "I might need to drag you into this."
This was the option he least wanted to choose.
Zhou Zuizui nodded and said "Oh," not really minding: "As long as I don't get hurt, that's fine."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan looked at her and smiled, giving her two reassuring words: "Don't worry."
He would never let her get hurt.
Zhou Zuizui listened, her eyes flickered, and she gave a cold, indifferent "hmm": "That's good."
The two remained silent for a few more minutes, staring at each other without making a sound.
Zhou Zuizui thought for a moment and said, "If we're going to put on an act, we should make it as real as possible." She looked at Shen Nan and asked, "Are you free this afternoon?"
"No."
There isn't any left.
Zhou Zuizui thought for a moment and calculated the time: "How about we go for a walk? Let's be open and honest about it?"
She thought to herself, after all, they were husband and wife. If they were going to put on an act, they should make it as realistic as possible. It was Valentine's Day; surely the couple wouldn't stay home all day.
Although--
Staying home seems reasonable.
But Zhou Zuizui felt embarrassed when she thought about the reason why they didn't go out.
It's better to go out and prove that they didn't spend the whole day in bed.
Shen Nan nodded: "Okay."
As she spoke, Zhou Zuizui wanted to change her clothes and go out.
"Wait a minute."
"Why?" She looked at Shen Nan with a suspicious gaze.
Shen Nan avoided her gaze, turned to look out the window, and said in a cold tone, "It's not the right time yet."
Zhou Zuizui was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of those words at first. But after she took out the clothes she wanted to wear from the closet, she suddenly froze, then bent over and started laughing out loud while holding onto the closet door!
Shen Nan: "......"
His ears, uncontrollably, turned a little redder.
After Zhou Zuizui finished laughing, she took her clothes and quietly moved towards the bathroom. When she got close to the bathroom door, she looked at Shen Nan with a smile, blinked her eyes, and pretended to be an innocent little girl, looking at him with the most innocent eyes, and asked with a smile, "Captain Shen, are you worried that if we go out now, people will think that you didn't have enough time?"
After saying that, Zhou Zuizui was also scared, so she shoved into the bathroom and slammed the door shut before Shen Nan could come over to deal with her.
Shen Nan looked at the door that had been closed and trembled slightly, and laughed in exasperation.
More than an hour later, Zhou Zuizui and Shen Nan went out on their date openly.
Qiuqiu stared wide-eyed at her beautifully dressed boss. Then, glancing at the man next to her, she paused, then quickly greeted him, "Brother-in-law, I'm Qiuqiu."
Shen Nan, with a cold and expressionless face, gave a curt "Hello."
Qiuqiu was taken aback by the cold atmosphere and looked at Zhou Zuizui: "Sister, are you going out on a date?"
“Hmm.” Zhou Zuizui smiled. “Let’s go for a walk. He hasn’t been back for so long and he’s not familiar with this place anymore.”
These words were said to Qiuqiu, but also to everyone else.
Qiuqiu opened her mouth, then belatedly said "Oh," and laughed happily. With her eyes crinkling, she suggested to the two of them, "It's Valentine's Day today, sisters, hurry up and go out, lots of shops outside are having promotions."
"Yeah, they're gone." Zhou Zuizui looked around; the men from earlier had all left.
She paused, then reminded Qiuqiu, "Then I'll go first, and I'll be back tonight."
Upon hearing this, Qiuqiu winked at her and happily replied, "Okay."
Stepping out of the tavern, the street was indeed bustling with activity. Walking a little further, it became even more lively than in the morning.
Zhou Zuizui and Shen Nan were walking at a slight distance, neither too close nor too far, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other. As for whether they were husband and wife, that remains to be verified.
As she was walking, her hand was suddenly grasped by a large hand. The hand was large, completely different from a woman's; the palm and the area between the thumb and forefinger were calloused and rough, which was clearly felt when their fingers intertwined. Zhou Zuizui lowered her eyes to look at it, feeling the intense heat emanating from the hand, and then turned her head to glance at Chen Nan.
Shen Nan pinched the base of her thumb with his fingers, a very strong hint.
There were other people following them.
Zhou Zuizui understood and let him be. Instead, she casually pulled Shen Nan around, wandering left and right, never letting go of his hand.
At first, Shen Nan didn't notice much difference, only that the skin of men and women was so different... The hand he was holding was small and delicate, with a smooth texture. Zhou Zuizui usually paid great attention to these things; she was an extremely beauty-conscious person. Although she did all sorts of dirty work and heavy labor, she never skipped any of her skincare routines.
Moreover, living in an ancient town with good water and sunshine, and rarely going out, makes one's skin as smooth and translucent as jade.
He glanced sideways at the person to his side, then casually looked away.
...
Behind him, a man in a black short-sleeved shirt followed for a while before turning back.
Welcome to the inn, which is next to the one where I got drunk and went with you. Inside, a few men were lounging around, looking rather lazy.
Leopard Brother raised an eyebrow as he looked at the returning man: "Are you sure the two of you are husband and wife?"
"That's right, they're strolling down the street, openly and honestly."
Upon hearing this, Brother Leopard frowned and glanced sideways at Qiangzi.
Qiangzi understood, chuckled lewdly, and licked his lips, saying, "Brother Leopard, when I went to the rooftop to look... the two of them were having sex in bed." Recalling the scene he'd witnessed, he narrowed his eyes, a look of lust on his face: "I have to say... that woman's figure was fucking amazing, blindingly white... and her voice was fucking soft..."
Leopard glared at him and scolded, "Look at your pathetic self." But after scolding him, he thought of the woman's figure and scoffed, "She's a stunner."
He looked at the other two people who were gathering information: "Have you asked around?"
A person nearby said, "I asked around, and it's said that the man is indeed always traveling around, so few people know that the innkeeper is married. However, some people have seen the man."
"Oh?" Leopard sat up straight, a little surprised. "You've been here before?"
"Yes."
Leopard pondered, tapping his fingers on the table—a habit of his when he was thinking.
Qiangzi looked on anxiously and said, "Brother Leopard, that's definitely it! Besides, we're just here to discuss business. We've done our research beforehand, and this guy has indeed been involved in smuggling ivory and antelope horns! I don't think there will be any major problems!"
"You don't know anything!" Brother Leopard slapped him across the face: "Contact them over there, we'll meet tomorrow night at seven to discuss the details."
"yes."
Zhou Zuizui spent the entire afternoon strolling around the streets with Shen Nan.
After everyone left, Shen Nan let go of her hand.
Zhou Zuizui glanced at her hands, gave Shen Nan a cold look, and while looking down at the vendors picking out items, she casually asked, "Captain Shen, isn't that a bit unfair of you? You just use it and then throw it away."
Shen Nan glanced at her indifferently and remained silent.
Zhou Zuizui shrugged, feeling rather helpless towards the boring old man.
She smiled at the little girl in front of her, holding up a hairpin and asking, "How much is this?"
The little girl, with her hair in braids, looked at her and said, "Sister Zui Zui, I'll give it to you if you like it."
"That won't do!" Zhou Zuizui reached out and patted her head: "How much is it? I'll buy two, and I'll also bring one back for Qiuqiu. Which one do you think Qiuqiu will like?"
"This one."
"not bad."
Zhou Zuizui picked out two hairpins and was about to take out her phone to scan the code to pay when a hand reached out from the side and handed a hundred-yuan note to the girl in front of her.
The little girl looked at Zhou Zuizui, not daring to accept the offer.
Zhou Zuizui chuckled softly, a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Go ahead, he's my husband."
"Ah... okay."
After making the purchase, Zhou Zuizui looked at Chen Nan, waved the two hairpins in her hand, and said without any politeness, "Thanks."
Shen Nan glanced at the smile on her face and gave a faint "hmm".
After a while, Zhou Zuizui wanted to sit for a while, and Shen Nan naturally accompanied her.
The two went into a dessert shop, and after ordering, Zhou Zuizui pointed and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Just a few minutes later, when he returned, a woman was already sitting in the chair opposite Shen Nan, but he himself... seemed not to have seen her at all, and was looking down at his phone.
Zhou Zuizui raised her eyebrows and involuntarily glanced at the man who sat like he was standing at attention. She had to admit that Shen Nan was indeed good-looking, the type that both young girls and women liked. He gave off a very tough and masculine vibe, exuding a lot of hormones. Moreover, he had a good physique with smooth lines, which was evident even when he was dressed.
Thinking about the figure hidden under those clothes, Zhou Zuizui slightly raised the corners of her mouth and walked closer to her seat.
As she approached, the woman sitting opposite her gave her a suspicious look.
Zhou Zuizui smiled slightly, sat down next to the woman, rested her wrists on the table, and looked at the man opposite her: "Handsome, did you come alone?"
Shen Nan finally looked up from his phone and gave her a look.
"Don't be so cold, let's be friends." Zhou Zuizui winked at Shen Nan.
Shen Nan remained unmoved, simply watching her quietly.
A woman on the side, seeing this, couldn't help but speak up: "Sister, there's a proper order to things, isn't there?" After all, she was the one who took a liking to this man first.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui curved her lips into a smile, looking like a little fox: "What do you mean by first come, first served?"
The woman beside her glanced at her twice, not discussing the matter with her, but instead trying to persuade Zhou Zuizui to give up: "This handsome guy won't be friends with you... He seems to be asexual. I said ten sentences to him, and he didn't respond to a single one."
"Really?" Zhou Zuizui looked her up and down for a moment and commented, "You're not his type."
"Then do you know what type of girl he likes?"
“He likes people like me.” Zhou Zuizui pointed to herself with her finger, looking confident.
The woman next to him scoffed, "I don't believe it. He's still ignoring you."
Listening, Zhou Zuizui nodded thoughtfully, her eyes full of cunning, and teased Shen Nan, "It does seem a bit... indifferent, maybe he's not interested in women."
Just as the woman next to her was about to speak, the man opposite her looked up at Zhou Zuizui, his voice sexy and his tone ambiguous: "Don't you know whether I'm cold or not?"
A note from the author: A short interview: So, who is the one who is indifferent?
Zui Zui: I'm not indifferent, I'm passionate.
Master Shen: It depends on the person.
Author: Are you indifferent to Zui Zui?
Master Shen: I wish I could die on her.
Author's note: As the saying goes... (There's no saying, just the author saying: Keep sending red envelopes!!!! Leave your comments!)
