"Thank you, Mom."
Han Li held her mother-in-law's arm, feeling so moved that she couldn't express it in words. She decided to give it a try with Zhou Zhichuan. Since the Zhou family treated her so well, she really didn't want to miss out on such a good in-law family. After trying her best, if Zhou Zhichuan still didn't want to be with her, she could only give up on him and find true love elsewhere.
After buying the leather shoes, Zhou's mother took her to the candy counter and bought ten kilograms of candy, ten kilograms of melon seeds, ten kilograms of peanuts, ten kilograms of red dates, and some longan. After packing the things, Zhou's mother smiled at Han Li.
"These things should be sprinkled on the wedding bed on the wedding day, symbolizing the early birth of a son. The candies should be shared among the children."
Han Li helped carry the two bags and blushed as she listened to her mother-in-law's jokes.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a fruitful trip, with everything they needed for food, clothing, and daily necessities. If Han Li hadn't pulled Zhou's mother aside, she would have been able to buy some more things.
When they got home, it was already past one in the afternoon. The nanny had already prepared dinner and left some for Zhou's mother and Han Li. After the three men in the Zhou family finished their meal, they went about their business. Zhou Zhichuan was sitting in the yard reading a book. Seeing the two of them carrying large and small bags, he put down his book and hurried forward to help.
“Why did you buy so many things?”
Zhou's mother shook her hands tiredly, "These are wedding supplies, there must be a lot of things."
Zhou's mother and Han Li sat together on the sofa, and Zhou Zhichuan poured a glass of water for each of them.
"You two have worked hard, come and have a cup of tea!"
"Thank you." Han Li took the tea and drank it in one gulp. She had been thirsty for a long time, and after drinking the tea, she felt relaxed all over.
"You're welcome." Zhou Zhichuan replied.
Mother Zhou picked up the teacup and looked at the young couple. "You two are too polite. How can a couple be so polite? Lili, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell him to do it. Don't be polite!"
"Okay!" Han Li also wanted to test Zhou Zhichuan's bottom line and whether he could accept her weird temper. If not, it would be better to separate as soon as possible.
After dinner, Han Li returned to the bedroom and deliberately changed her clothes in front of him. She slowly took off her coat and unbuttoned her white shirt. Zhou Zhichuan was sorting out the things he had bought. When he looked back, he was shocked to see Han Li taking off her shirt with her back to him, revealing one of her smooth and white shoulders. Zhou Zhichuan suddenly stood up, strode out, opened the door, went out, and closed it again.
Han Li stopped taking off her clothes, turned around and stared at the door in a daze, her fingers clenched and her lips tightly pursed. What did he mean?
Han Li changed into her home clothes and went downstairs. Zhou Zhichuan was playing chess with Mr. Zhou. Han Li walked over.
"grandfather."
Mr. Zhou put down his chess piece and patted the stool beside him.
"Come, sit down and watch grandpa play chess."
"good."
Han Li sat next to Mr. Zhou, facing Zhou Zhichuan. She blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Zhou Zhichuan with a clear gaze. Zhou Zhichuan felt her gaze, clenched the chess piece in his hand, lowered his eyes to stare at the chessboard, and played chess mechanically.
After playing a game of chess, Mr. Zhou rubbed his aching waist.
"Zhichuan, go take a walk in the garden with your wife. Don't sit here with an old man like me."
"good."
Zhou Zhichuan put down the chess piece, stood up and walked to Han Li, holding out his hand. Han Li stared at his hand in a daze. His hand was as smooth as white jade, his fingers were slender, and faint blue veins could be seen under his fair skin.
Zhou Zhichuan stretched out a hand and waved, "Han Li!"
"Um?"
Han Li looked up at him with a blank look in her eyes. He stood with his hands hanging down. His tall stature completely blocked her view. His hands and waist were so close to her that she only needed to reach out to hug him. Unfortunately, although she prided herself on being brave, she didn't dare to reach out.
Zhou Zhichuan couldn't understand the emotion in her eyes, but a strange feeling arose in his heart, like an electric current, which flashed quickly. He stretched out his hand again.
"Want to go for a walk?"
Han Li slowly put her hand on it, and his warm big hand immediately tightened. Han Li stood up and followed him out the door, her tangled brows knitted tightly. Did he ever like her? If not, how could he hold her hand so naturally and walk forward.
The two of them walked along in silence, holding hands tightly. Han Li looked at his tall back and whispered:
"Zhichuan, let's be a real couple!"
"What?" Zhou Zhichuan turned around, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
Han Li was deflated, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I said, the flowers in this garden are blooming beautifully, I like them very much."
Zhou Zhichuan looked at the spring scenery in the yard and said with a smile, "It's my mother who takes good care of it. When she has nothing to do, she likes to take care of these flowers and plants."
"Really?" Han Li looked carefully at the flowers in the garden. They were very beautiful, and there were butterflies flying around.
In the evening, Zhou's mother once again suggested that the young couple stay overnight. Han Li agreed and went into the bathroom to take a shower and put on soap. The more she washed, the shyer she became. Tonight, she planned to seduce him. If she failed again, she would ignore that bastard again.
