Chapter 147 Now You Can Only Look at Me
"Yes."
However, the other party didn't have a good tone when she picked up the phone. She said a few words to her and then hung up. However, she still made some money, so she wouldn't have a bad life abroad.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual on her face, Shen Huai lowered his head and continued to eat dumplings.
He spent last year's New Year's Eve alone. He didn't feel much at the time, but when he thinks back on it now, he feels it was too lonely.
After eating the dumplings, Shen Nuo took the initiative to wash the dishes. After coming out, he stared at Shen Huai with a pair of bright eyes, and the meaning in his eyes was very obvious.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Huai frowned.
Shen Nuo stretched out his hand towards him: “Red envelope.”
Shen Huai glanced at her with disdain: "Can we still miss your little tricks?"
As he said this, he stuffed the red envelope into her hand.
Shen Nuo pinched the thickness of the red envelope and found that it did not look like money but more like a card, and he was immediately satisfied.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."
Just as Shen Huai was about to say something, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced down, then looked at Shen Nuo: “I’ll go up first.”
Shen Nuo asked knowingly: "Why is it not yet twelve o'clock? Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year with me?"
Shen Huai glanced at her: "Are you sure?"
Shen Nuo: “…It’s not impossible.”
He scoffed lightly, "Then I don't want to injure a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of my own. This deal is not worth it."
After he finished speaking, he went straight upstairs. Ana Shen muttered a few words to complain about him and also went upstairs.
Her meal took a bit long, and it was already past eleven when she came out of the shower. There were two missed video calls on her phone.
She called back and Fu Chuji picked up quickly.
"You're outside"
His background was pitch black, and he could vaguely see fireworks in the distance.
Although the weather has been good recently, it is still very cold at night, and his eyelashes seem to be covered with cold dew.
He explained: "It's too noisy in there."
He returned to the Fu family today. Old Mr. Fu likes to be lively now that he is old. In addition to Fu Wenxuan's family, he also called many relatives, some of whom were not even remotely related to him, but came just to establish some relationship with the Fu family.
Shen Nuo pursed his lips and whispered, “If I had known earlier, I would have let you come to our house for the New Year.”
It goes without saying that he is probably like an outsider in the Fu family, and Fu Wenxuan's family may exclude him.
Fu Chuji raised his eyebrows and said, "Will your brother be willing?"
Shen Nuo thought about it seriously, and then replied: “He probably doesn’t want to.”
"But if we really have to wait until he is willing, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait in this lifetime."
These two people are probably born enemies. They can never have a good conversation when they meet.
Fu Chuji: "Are the dumplings delicious?"
“It’s not delicious, but I’m afraid I’ll be poisoned if I eat what Shen Huai makes.”
After Shen Nuo finished speaking, the sound of fireworks rang out outside. She looked at the time and found that it was already midnight.
She lowered her head and tapped a few times on her phone, and Fu Chuji received the transfer information.
He jokingly said: "This is the maintenance fee"
“…What nonsense.”
Shen Nuo said unhappily: “I’ll give you half of the red envelope my brother gave me.”
She saw him hum lightly, then lowered his head, not knowing what he was doing until she received a transfer, the amount of which was a huge sum of money for her.
Shen Nuo opened his mouth slightly in surprise, but his tone sounded calm and nonchalant:
"Then I'll give you half."
Shen Nuo felt jealous. She was worried that he wouldn't receive a red envelope, but she didn't expect that he received much more than her. She blamed the Shen family for not having enough people.
She wanted to say something else, but she heard him turn his head. It seemed like someone was calling him, and it sounded like a female voice.
There was a hint of impatience between his brows, and he replied indifferently.
"Did someone call you?" Shen Nuo asked doubtfully.
He murmured in response and said to her, "I'll go back first. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow"
Shen Nuo muttered: "Did I agree? How could you make an appointment like this? No wonder you are a villain, you are so domineering."
She spoke quietly, thinking that he wouldn't be able to hear due to the loud noise of the fireworks, but she didn't expect him to ask:
"What villain?"
Shen Nuo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, just go in."
After hanging up the video, Shen Nuo began to reply to other people's New Year's greetings one by one, and sent a few red envelopes in the department group.
For her and Shen Huai, the New Year is almost the same as any other day except that no one cooks and they don't have to go to work. While everyone else is bustling with activity, the two of them seem a little lonely.
However, this lonely feeling did not last long, because Fu Chuji came to pick her up.
She knocked on the study door and said to Shen Huai cautiously, "Brother, I'm going out for a while."
Shen Huai sneered. He knew what she was going out for without even thinking about it, and said impatiently, "Get out of here."
Shen Nuo closed the door and caught a glimpse of a lucky pig on his desk from the corner of his eye. It looked quite cute.
She thought to herself that she didn’t expect her brother to be so childish.
As soon as she went out, she saw Fu Chuji standing outside the door. She asked:
"Why don't you come in?"
He lowered his eyes, his voice a little low: "Your brother probably doesn't want to see me."
“…”
She hit his shoulder and scolded him with a smile: "That's enough."
He smiled and took her hand, interlocking their fingers.
After getting in the car, Shen Nuo was about to fasten his seat belt when he heard a groaning sound in the back seat.
She asked cautiously, "What's that sound?"
"Go look behind you."
When she heard it, she grabbed his sleeve and said with glaring eyes: "What if it's a mouse?"
"...No, you'll know when you go and see for yourself."
Shen Nuo pushed open the car door and got out half-believingly. She went to the back seat and opened the door. The first thing she saw was a cardboard box. The sound came from inside.
She stretched her neck and leaned over, just in time to meet the eyes of the puppy in the box, the two of them staring into each other's eyes.
This is a little golden retriever. Its golden hair looks fluffy and soft, and its round black eyes are looking at her curiously.
Shen Nuo was a little surprised, she reached out and picked up the puppy.
“When did you buy it?”
"yesterday."
Shen Nuo touched its head, and the puppy was not afraid of her. Instead, it licked her fingers and barked at her in a small and thin voice, as if it was acting coquettishly.
She felt like her heart was about to melt, but she suddenly remembered something.
She remembered that Shen Huai seemed to be allergic to animal hair.
In the original novel, the male and female protagonists rescued stray cats together, and then Shen Huai developed a rash on his body due to an allergy, but he didn't know it before that.
As Shen Nuo stroked the fur of the puppy in his arms, he frowned and said, “My brother seems to be allergic to dog hair.”
Fu Chuji: "You can keep it with me."
“But you are so busy, can you take care of it?” Shen Nuo looked at him suspiciously.
His expression remained unchanged: "So I might need to trouble you to come here more often."
Shen Nuo raised his eyebrows: "You didn't plan this a long time ago, did you?"
"How could that be? I didn't know your brother was allergic."
But even if she didn't say it actively, he still had other ways, but Shen Huai's allergy saved him some effort.
He reluctantly felt that Shen Huai was not so useless.
Unfortunately, he soon regretted it. Shen Nuo was teasing the dog the whole way and didn't even look at him.
As soon as he got out of the car, he took the dog from her arms, opened the door, put it down, and let it run around by itself.
Shen Nuo didn't notice his abnormality and continued to say excitedly:
"What do you think would be a better name for it? Jindou Wangcai or something else..."
Before she could finish her words, her mouth was blocked.
His lips covered hers fiercely, rolling and biting her lips with a hint of punishment.
Shen Nuo hissed softly and pushed him away: "What are you doing?"
He pinched her jaw, stroking it gently with his fingertips, his dark eyes dark: "I like it so much"
Shen Nuo first asked "who", then suddenly realized that he was talking about the dog, and for a moment he felt angry and funny.
"No way, you're even jealous of a dog."
The corners of his lips were tightened into a straight line, and his tone was slightly unhappy: "You have been looking at it all the time, and not looking at me."
Shen Nuo blinked and said, "Then I'll just look at you now, is that okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something furry nudging her under her feet. Just as she was about to lower her head, someone pinched her chin to prevent her from looking down.
"You said that now you can only look at me."
