Chapter 14 He's a nice guy
Shen Mo remained silent for a long time before replying, "No need to return it, this is what I should give you."
When Jiang Ning read the novel, she viewed the original owner from an omniscient perspective and felt indignant on his behalf.
But now it seems that the original owner was also cowardly and didn't dare to ask Shen Mo for a divorce.
Now that she has made this decision, she has come into contact with Shen Mo.
Jiang Ning's preconceived notion of Shen Mo has always been that he doesn't care about his family, is all show and no substance, and is even a chauvinist.
Now she realized that Shen Mo wasn't so heartless after all. In this turbulent era, how many people could never go home for the sake of their country and the greater good?
After these few days of contact...
Shen Mo is a really nice person.
That's what she truly thought.
Shopping was just a minor incident; we finished buying basic necessities and it was time to go home.
As Jiang Ning was going downstairs, there was a watch counter next to the stairs. Just as she was about to go down the stairs, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Shen Mo lowered his gaze to her slender, bare wrist. "There's no clock at home, so I'll buy you a watch."
Jiang Ning glanced at the watch counter, specifically at the Diamond brand watches.
She wanted to refuse, but this isn't the age of cell phones anymore, where you can check the time anytime.
However, Diamond brand watches are not cheap.
Jiang Ning hesitated, wondering whether to refuse.
Shen Mo noticed her predicament and directly asked the sales clerk to bring out a delicate and small watch, which was very suitable for women to wear.
Shen Mo pushed the watch over, "Do you like this one?"
Before Jiang Ning could speak, the sales clerk brought out several women's watches for her to choose from.
With the arrow already on the bowstring, Jiang Ning didn't mince words and bent down to make her selection.
Since watch designs aren't as flashy right now, Jiang Ning chose a simple and elegant watch.
She tried to put the watch on herself for a while but couldn't, until a rough, large hand reached out and put it on her wrist.
Jiang Ning looked up, and Shen Mo lowered his eyes as he put the watch on her wrist.
Even with his head down, Shen Mo was still considerably taller than Jiang Ning. Standing in front of her like that, he gave her the feeling of being a mountain sheltering her from the wind and rain.
Seeing Shen Mo obediently putting the watch on her wrist, and recalling her inexplicable little mood just now, Jiang Ning suddenly felt like she was quite ungrateful.
They found her the house she wanted, gave her money, and bought her things, yet she still threw a tantrum.
"Alright." Shen Mo put the watch on her wrist, looked at her jade-like hands, and then at her expression. "Beautiful."
I don't know if they're praising the watch or praising her.
At this time of year, not many people wear watches, but those who can afford to wear watches are invariably intellectuals from well-off families.
Shen Mo had always felt that Jiang Ning had a scholarly air about her, like the temperament that comes from years of accumulated knowledge, and the watch suited her very well.
Jiang Ning's heart stirred. She looked at the counter and pointed to one of the watches, "Please take it out."
The clerk took out the watch.
Jiang Ning picked up the watch with one hand and used the other to lift Shen Mo's arm.
Shen Mo's dark eyes flickered slightly, as if he had guessed what Jiang Ning was going to do. He raised his arm straight so that Jiang Ning could operate it.
Jiang Ning put the watch on his wrist. They were wearing the same model, but one was a men's watch and the other a women's watch. The men's watch had a wider strap, while Jiang Ning's women's watch was more delicate.
Jiang Ning found a good excuse and looked at him, saying, "From now on, when it's mealtime, remember to come home for dinner."
Shen Mo's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked away.
These days, he also realized what feelings he had for Jiang Ning. He had accepted her as his wife from the bottom of his heart and didn't want to let go.
His wife still doesn't believe he'll have a good life with him, but he'll prove her wrong with his actions.
After paying for the watch, the two returned to their car with bags full of purchases and drove home.
Shopping is really tiring. After a long day, Jiang Ning was also a bit tired. The car was swaying, and after looking at the scenery outside for a while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing that she was fast asleep, Shen Mo tried his best to drive smoothly.
When Jiang Ning woke up again, she found that the car was already parked in front of the family compound gate.
Shen Mo wanted to drive the car in, but the soldiers at the gate of the family compound told him that the military needed a car.
Shen Mo had no choice but to hand the car keys to the soldier and let him drive the car back to the unit.
After the car drove away, Shen Mo looked at the things on the ground. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Ning to wait for him to take some of the things back, he saw Yang Zhengtu and Qian Feng walking over.
The two greeted each other at the same time.
"Brother Chen, sister-in-law!"
"Deputy Regiment Commander, sister-in-law!"
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
Shen Mo told the two to carry their things. He handed a bag to Yang Zhengtu, but after waiting for a long time, no one took the bag.
He looked up and saw Yang Zhengtu and Qian Feng staring blankly at Jiang Ning.
Shen Mo: "!?"
Jiang Ning has completely changed her previous unfashionable straight-leg pants and floral shirt outfit, transforming herself into someone who looks like a celebrity in a calendar or poster.
As darkness fell and it was time to leave work, many people returned to their residential compound.
Suddenly, a beautiful girl who looked like a TV star appeared, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
Yang Zhengtu and Qian Feng stared blankly at Jiang Ning. They had thought she was already very pretty before, and even her rustic outfits didn't look bad. Now that she was dressed a little more stylishly, her temperament and appearance had doubled.
It's clearly the kind of outfit that's fashionable among city girls, but she looks better in it than everyone else.
Yang Zhengtu had only had a few thoughts on the train, but now he just felt that he was not good enough for such a beautiful girl.
Shen Mo appeared quite calm on the surface.
But more and more eyes were being cast his way, all fixed on his wife.
Shen Mo looked at the two stunned people and said in a low voice, "What are you looking at? Get your things."
"Awoooooo!"
Yang Zhengtu and Qian Feng realized what was happening and immediately took the things from Shen Mo's hands, both of them grinning sheepishly.
Three grown men, each carrying two large bags, ended up with nothing for Jiang Ning.
With their things in hand, their gazes fell upon Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning: "?"
Then she walked into the family compound, and after taking two steps, she turned around and saw the three of them following behind her, each carrying something in their hands.
It gives off a strange vibe of a rich young lady strolling around with bodyguards.
The residential compound is bustling with people coming and going, and there are quite a few scrutinizing glances.
Most of the women didn't recognize Shen Mo, but it was the soldiers who recognized him and came up to greet him.
