She tossed and turned from the study all the way to the bed. In the end, Xie Xihe didn't even know how she fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was dark again.
"Awake?" A man's low voice sounded from beside him, with a slight hoarseness, which made Xie Xihe tremble for no reason. Before he could react, he had already retreated a short distance.
Sheng Shijing was amused by her reaction. He reached out and hooked her back to his side. He supported his head with one hand and looked at her sideways: "I promised Dad to go back for dinner. It's almost time."
He reached out and touched her face, assuring her, "I won't bother you."
Xie Xihe's tense body relaxed, and he reached out to push him: "You get up first."
Sheng Shijing got up as he was told, but did not leave. Instead, he took a piece of clothing from the bedside table and looked down at her: "Come, put on your clothes."
Xie Xihe: "...I have hands, I can do it myself."
Sheng Shijing remained unmoved and continued to look at her while holding up the clothes.
Xie Xihe struggled for three seconds between ignoring him and getting up and leaving. In the end, he chose the latter and sat up holding the quilt.
"It's too tight. Tie it to the outermost row."
"so?"
"...Where are your hands? Take them away."
"Sorry, it was careless. I'm inexperienced."
"Sheng Shijing, you are a pig, what are you doing, um..."
“…”
She said she wouldn't make a fuss, but more than half an hour had passed by the time she got dressed. It was not until Xie Bowen called to urge her that Sheng Shijing let her go with a look of reluctance on his face.
Xie Xihe's face flushed red. He was so angry that he kicked the man to the ground.
Sheng Shijing placed one hand on the edge of the bed, a low laugh escaping from his throat.
Xie Xihe: “…”
Even though his physique was different from that of an ordinary person, after facing Sheng Shijing, who also had an unusual physique, and after tossing around for half a day and a night, Xie Xihe's whole body was weak, and he even staggered when getting out of bed.
He was able to stabilize himself only after being supported by Sheng Shijing in time.
Xie Xihe: ...Fuck!
In her past and present lives, even when she was chased and fell off a cliff to her death, she had never been so miserable.
Xie Xihe's face was dark. She ignored her wild boar man until she changed her clothes and went to Xie's house upstairs.
Xie Bowen noticed it and smiled instantly: "Tsk, are you quarreling already?"
Sheng Shijing picked up a piece of fish and picked out the bones, then looked up and smiled, "No, Xihe is just tired and in a bad mood."
Xie Xihe: “…”
Xie Bowen suddenly realized something: "???"
Are you trying to show off in front of him by stealing his cabbage?
What the hell!
Xie Bowen slammed his chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "I'm full!"
Xie Xihe glanced at the man who had no intention of living a normal life, raised his hand and put the fish meat and shrimp meat that Sheng Shijing had just deboned and peeled into Xie Bowen's bowl, and said, "Don't bother with the pig, just eat."
Xie Bowen instantly suppressed his anger, and while raising his eyebrows and glancing at Sheng Shijing, he ate a small bowl of shrimp and fish in front of him.
After that, he said with a look of satisfaction: "They say a son-in-law is half a son. It seems that the old saying is true."
He casually pushed several plates of fish, shrimp, and crabs in front of Sheng Shijing and said with a smile: "Since your son-in-law is so filial, I, as your father-in-law, can't let you down. I'll leave all these to you."
Emphasized: "These are all Xiaoxi's favorite foods."
Sheng Shijing... What else could Sheng Shijing say? He resigned himself to his fate and finished three whole plates of fish, shrimp and crabs on his own.
The three members of the Xie family ate with peace of mind.
The meal lasted two hours, and it was almost nine o'clock when it ended. Xie Xihe had to participate in a competition early the next morning, so he had to rush back to Country Y.
Sheng Shijing did not make any more guarantees or promises. He simply handed all the signed and notarized property transfer documents to Mr. Xie for safekeeping, and then left with Xie Xihe.
Xie Bowen looked at the information in front of him and felt more relieved than sad. He watched the two of them leave.
After more than six hours of flight, the two landed again in the suburbs of London. When they returned to the hotel, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening in London.
Xie Xihe didn't want to do anything and just wanted to go back to his room and continue sleeping.
But before she could close the door, Duanmu Zeming, who had been watching her, blocked the gap.
Xie Xihe opened the door and looked up at him: "What's wrong?"
Duanmu Zeming glanced behind her and vaguely saw a figure flashing by. He once again wondered if he was hallucinating because he stayed up too late.
But he didn't have time to care about it for the time being, so he said, "Fang Xun has woken up. I asked you to go over when you are free. He has something to tell you."
Xie Xihe paused for a moment, then without hesitation, opened the door and walked out.
But Sheng Shijing behind him grabbed his hand.
Sheng Shijing came out from behind the door and said, "I'll go with you."
Xie Xihe glanced at him: "Hmm?"
"Qingyang is investigating the Sheng family, but he has no clue yet. I want to hear what your teacher thinks." Sheng Shijing said.
Xie Xihe pondered for a moment, did not refuse, nodded to Duanmu Zeming, and then took Sheng Shijing to Fang Xun's suite.
A full minute passed before Duanmu Zeming came back to his senses with a start.
He looked at the room, then at the direction the two had left, and slapped himself on the forehead: "Fuck!"
There really is someone there!
Duanmu Zeming felt that he had discovered something extraordinary and hurriedly chased after him.
In the next suite, Xie Xihe had already sat down beside Fang Xun's bed.
But he did not rush to talk about the matter. Instead, he felt his pulse first and then performed a set of acupuncture on him before stopping.
Fang Xun's attention had been on Sheng Shijing behind Xie Xihe. He didn't react until now and said with a gentle smile, "Duanmu said he hasn't seen you for the past two days. Did you go out to play?"
Xie Xihe paused, then said truthfully, "I went back to my country for something and just got back."
Fang Xun and Chu Xuan who was guarding the other side all looked at her at the same time, their faces full of surprise.
"It's only two days in total, and you've already traveled back and forth from China to Country Y? What's the hurry? Why are you rushing back at this time?" Lin Jiangfei said.
Fang Xun also showed a look of concern and said, "But something happened at home, is it serious?"
Xie Xihe: "...It's okay."
"Then why are you..."
Lin Jiangfei wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by a sudden voice before he could finish his words.
It was Sheng Shijing who took over the conversation and said, "Get the certificate."
Facing the gazes from Fang Xun and the other three, he remained expressionless and nodded, saying, "Everything's fine at home. I saw there was still time, so I took her back to China to get the marriage certificate."
Five people: “???”
