Inside the private room, Ji Hanchen and Lu Chuan stood by the window, looking at the van with Haicheng license plates, their eyes filled with unfathomable darkness.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Lu Chuan said with amusement, then added, "Looks like you really don't want to leave."
Ji Hanchen remained noncommittal.
Shen Luo focused on peeling shrimp, and sarcastically chimed in, "If I were them, I would leave immediately to avoid being caught out."
Lu Chuan turned around, a malicious smile on his face: "Haven't they already given themselves away? That Huo Yan was too obvious, wasn't he, Xiao Yunyun?"
Xu Qingyun nodded gently.
She had seen Huo Yan's reaction at the time, and he had indeed been trying his best to restrain himself.
Especially when she tentatively called out "brother," Huo Yan's excitement was almost overflowing.
Judging from Huo Yan's reaction, Xu Qingyun was certain that Huo Yan was her brother, and that Huo Yan knew it too.
As for Huo Xize... he concealed it very well, so Xu Qingyun couldn't see through that man.
At this moment, Shen Luo handed over a plate of shrimp meat, "Xiao Yun, eat."
Xu Qingyun didn't answer, but instead looked up at him calmly, "Brother Chen, have you ever peeled shrimp for Sister Chu Chu?"
Shen Luo froze, instinctively taking the plate of shrimp back to herself.
He and Xia Chu have been married for so long, and Xia Chu has always taken meticulous care of him. He has never done anything for Xia Chu, including something as intimate as peeling shrimp.
But he peeled it for Xu Qingyun only because he had misunderstood her before, and because Xu Qingyun had just called him "brother," that's all.
Xu Qingyun held a shrimp, her slender, fair hands gently twisting off the head and pulling out the shrimp vein before casually asking, "Do you love Sister Chu Chu?"
Shen Luo subconsciously snorted coldly, "I don't love it."
Xu Qingyun raised her head again, "Since you don't love me, then don't pester me anymore. I appreciate your help, but I also feel sorry for Sister Chuchu. I think your fickleness will cause trouble for Sister Chuchu."
Shen Luo's pupils dilated, and she became somewhat angry. "Why are you suddenly concerned about our relationship?"
Xu Qingyun said calmly, "I just feel that you treat someone like me, whom I barely know, better than Sister Chuchu, and I feel a little sorry for Sister Chuchu."
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Lu Chuan chuckled, "Shen Luo, you've kicked a hornet's nest, haven't you?"
Shen Luo looked at him sternly and said, "Shut up."
Lu Chuan rolled his eyes. "You always get angry with me. I'm ignoring you. Go home and cuddle with my wife."
Ji Hanchen also asked, "Has Yunyun eaten enough?"
"Mmm." Xu Qingyun replied, pinching two peeled shrimp and putting them into Ji Hanchen's mouth.
Ji Hanchen's pupils trembled slightly, and the lines of his face softened instantly. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with undisguised love.
Looking at the two of them, Shen Luo suddenly recalled his past with Xia Chu.
The old man liked Xia Chu very much, and in order to bring them together, he always invited them to come back to the Shen family for meals.
I love eating shrimp in early summer, especially freshwater prawns, so there's always a plate of freshwater prawns on the table.
That time, Grandpa coldly scolded, "You brat, don't you know how to peel a shrimp for your wife?"
Shen Luo coldly scoffed, "Does she not have hands or is she unable to take care of herself?"
"you……"
Just as Grandpa was about to get angry, Xia Chu chuckled and said, "Grandpa, Shen Luo doesn't like things with shells, I can do it myself."
It has to be said that Xia Chu really understands Shen Luo. He hates all shellfish, such as shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, because he always feels uncomfortable to the touch.
But he likes to eat.
So in early summer, he would peel shrimp and dismantle crabs for him, even mantis shrimp, peeling them completely.
On one occasion, Xia Chu directly fed him peeled shrimp, but he coldly rebuked her, "You still have sauce on your hands, and you're making me eat it? Don't you feel disgusted? I do."
Xia Chu's face paled at that moment, and she awkwardly withdrew her hand, saying, "I'm sorry."
Grandpa slammed down his chopsticks in anger and roared, "Xiao Chu, you don't need to apologize! It's all because he's been spoiled! He even made a mistake peeling a shrimp for me. If you're not going to eat, then get out!"
Shen Luo sneered, threw down her chopsticks without hesitation, and left.
He blamed Xia Chu for the incident, and that night when Xia Chu returned home, Shen Luo forced himself on her.
That day was Xia Chu's first time, but he went straight for it, causing Xia Chu to tear.
Shen Luo suddenly felt a little irritated, not expecting that she could remember it so clearly.
They were all trivial, old stories, and they were all about that woman. How could he possibly remember them?
It's probably because I have such a good memory.
While Shen Luo was lost in thought, Ji Hanchen and Xu Qingyun kept an eye on her and did not disturb her.
"Chen Luo, Yunyun is tired, we'll be leaving now," Ji Hanchen said in a deep voice.
Shen Luo gave an impatient snort, "Fine, go then. You expect me to see you off?"
Ji Hanchen let out a cold laugh as a response to Shen Luo, and then returned to his residence with Xu Qingyun.
**
The residential complex they now live in is called "Sheng Huating," located in a prime area of southern Chongqing.
Upon entering, Ji Hanchen first helped Xu Qingyun remove the scarf from her neck, then smiled and asked, "Yunyun, were you deliberately trying to embarrass Shen Luo?"
Xu Qingyun did not deny it, "Shen Luo is too stubborn and too self-centered. I feel sorry for Sister Chu Chu."
“Shen Luo has a deep misunderstanding about Xia Chu, he…” Xu Qingyun pressed her hand to his thin lips, stopping him from continuing.
“Chen Luo is your good friend, and Sister Chu Chu is my best friend. We have different stances and are on opposite sides, so conflicts are inevitable. I am very domineering and hope you will fully support me, but I also know that this is selfish, so don’t give me the opportunity to be unreasonable.”
