Chapter 18 Waiting
At that moment, loud slaps echoed throughout the hall. Shen Sangsang's face turned uncontrollably to the side, and the entire hall fell silent.
Shen Yuehuai, who was standing upstairs, also had a slightly cold expression on his face.
No one spoke, no one spoke in the entire hall.
Everyone stared at this scene.
At this time, Shen Yuehuai's voice came from the first floor above, but she said to Xu Jie beside her: "Send the old lady back."
Xu Jie clearly understood the meaning of asking him to send the old lady away.
He quickly responded: "Okay, Mr. Shen."
Xu Jie quickly went downstairs and walked to Madam Shen. He whispered, "Madam, I'll take you home."
Old Madam Shen first glanced at Xu Jie, then she looked upstairs and met her son's gaze from a distance, seeing his expressionless face.
So she said with a cold face, "You don't need to send Xu Jie to see me off. I will leave."
After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she took a deep breath and left the hall.
However, after walking a few steps, Mrs. Shen remembered something and stopped walking again. She turned around and said to her son upstairs, "The day after tomorrow is Zhou'er's Yinsheng. Please accompany me to Qibao Mountain."
Shen Sangsang's hanging hands suddenly trembled as if they had been electrocuted.
However, everyone present, including Shen Yuehuai who was standing upstairs, was extremely calm after hearing what Old Lady Shen said.
In response to his mother's instructions, he replied calmly, "Well, I will be there on time the day after tomorrow."
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen turned around and left the hall of the villa without saying anything.
Everyone's expression instantly became relaxed.
Only Shen Sangsang stood alone in the middle of the hall, but remained motionless.
Shen Yuehuai's eyes fell on her for a long time, then he came down from the stairs and walked to her side: "Didn't I tell you not to go downstairs?"
Shen Sangsang stood there, with no reaction to his words at all.
Shen Yuehuai's eyes grew darker: "What are you thinking about?"
She came back to her senses, looking stunned by a slap, and immediately lowered her face: "My face... hurts a little."
Shen Yuehuai didn't speculate too much about her momentary absence of consciousness, and just said, "Go back to the room first."
He was the first to turn around and walk upstairs.
Shen Sangsang still stood there motionless until Xu Jie reminded her: "Miss Sangsang."
Only then did Shen Sangsang move her feet.
…
When Shen Sangsang arrived at the room upstairs, Shen Yuehuai was holding a box of medicine in his hand: “Come here.”
Shen Sangsang walked over slowly.
Shen Yuehuai was still wearing pajamas, and of course Shen Sangsang was too.
Her pajamas were a cute nightgown, while Shen Yuehuai's were navy blue silk pajamas.
The navy blue silk pajamas set off his figure very well, with a narrow waist and long legs.
Shen Yuehuai placed his slender fingers on her cheek and asked in a low voice, "Why are you reacting so strongly when you hear Xiaozhou's name?"
He asked casually.
At this moment, Shen Sangsang raised her head and faced him directly: "It's just that I haven't heard this name for a long time."
After her face was completely lifted up, Shen Yuehuai only saw her lips.
The lips on her face were the color of rouge and a little swollen in the center.
Shen Yuehuai's gaze shifted away from her face, deliberately avoiding looking at her two bright red lips. As he applied medicine to her cheeks, his fingertips gently rubbed her cheeks. "The old lady is in poor health and can't accept you right now. You won't get any good results from going to her, and it will only stimulate a relapse of her old illness. So, don't ask for trouble again. Today it was a slap in the face, and no one knows what it will be next time."
He whispered to her.
He rubbed her cheek with his fingertips and then slid them to her earlobe.
Shen Sangsang’s body shuddered.
Shen Yuehuai also felt the smoothness between his fingers, and he withdrew his hand slightly. Then, with an indifferent look in his eyes, he said something extremely tender: "I will treat you well."
