Chapter 224 IF Scenario: Xixi VS Chenchen (15)
Zhou Ruo had a moment of doubt.
Why did Xixi suddenly ask about this?
“The two families are related by marriage,” Zhou Ruo said with a smile. “It’s just that your children are still young, so no one has mentioned it.”
Wenxi asked curiously, "So, I'm going to marry Shang Chen in the future?"
Zhou Ruo countered with, "Xi Xi, do you want to marry Shang Chen?"
Wenxi shook her head: "I haven't thought about that."
Zhou Ruo chuckled and pulled her into his arms: "Now you can think about it."
Wenxi rested her chin on the pillow and gently swayed her legs.
"So I'm still Chenchen's fiancée after all..."
"Marrying Shang Chen doesn't seem so bad."
If she becomes Shang Chen's fiancée, will she be able to find out how Shang Chen's 'life-long marriage' is arranged?
Zhou Ruo was still relieved that her daughter was finally starting to understand.
Little did they know that Wenxi's main point was to use his status as her fiancée to get information out of Shang Chen.
Wenxi received many gifts during the Chinese New Year.
Besides relatives and friends, many classmates also gave them to me.
Zhou Ruo casually mentioned this while chatting with Shang's mother, and it quickly spread throughout the entire Shang family.
"Xixi received many gifts from her male classmates during the Chinese New Year, and some male classmates even invited her to go out and play together."
"I heard from your Aunt Zhou that Xixi is very popular at their school."
Shang Chen, who happened to be passing by: "..."
Could his mother have been any more obvious?
Why did she say it earlier or later? She just happened to choose the moment when he was passing by, and deliberately raised her voice to talk to his dad.
Shang Chen pretended not to hear.
He had only taken two steps when his mother called out to him, "Shang Chen, are you aware of this?"
Shang Chen: "...I don't know."
"So Xixi didn't tell you?"
Shang Chen's eyelids twitched: "Mom, is this what you call trying to sow discord?"
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Shang said, "I'm telling the truth."
Shang's mother's original intention was to create a sense of crisis for Shang Chen and to tease her son.
But she pondered it carefully.
Does my own word really sound like I'm trying to sow discord?
Mrs. Shang added a small question: "By the way, have you prepared any gifts for Xixi for the New Year?"
Shang Chen: "No."
The two families are close, and their children play together during the Lunar New Year. They have never had the habit of giving each other gifts separately.
Mrs. Shang: "Then you'd better be more proactive."
"Be more positive about what?"
Should we be more proactive in sending gifts to Wenxi?
Should we be more proactive and... express our feelings?
The mother looked at her son with an expression that said, "Be more proactive and outshine everyone else."
Shang Chen raised his hand and rubbed his temples. "I have something to do, I'll go upstairs first."
Mrs. Shang sighed deeply.
She was scrolling through posts on her phone when a sudden idea struck her, and she posted a request for help online.
What should I do if my son is so disappointing?!
Shang Shenggang opened his phone to pick out a gift for Wenxi.
It was made as a gift before the student went abroad.
There was a knock on the door, and Shang Ze quietly peeked in: "Brother, I just found something."
Shang Chen glanced at him indifferently: "You and Yan Xu got into trouble again?"
"This is not my problem, it's your problem."
Shang Chen frowned.
His business?
Could it be that someone sent Wenxi a New Year's gift again?
Shang Ze held up his phone to Shang Chen, laughing unrestrainedly: "Mom is collecting advice online for you on pursuing Sister Xixi."
"She probably forgot that my sister and I followed her account."
Shang Chen's face hardened, and he took Shang Ze's phone.
The page is simple and clean, with a large line of text that is particularly eye-catching.
What should I do if my son is so disappointing?
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi was so busy exchanging New Year's greetings that she was dizzy when she suddenly received a New Year's gift from Shang Chen.
A cute little black dog with a big pink bow tied around its neck.
Wenxi held the dog and teased it, offering a fair assessment: "The dog is so cute, but the bow is so ugly."
Shang Chen said quietly, "My mom forced me to wear it, saying that girls like it."
Wenxi burst out laughing.
"Auntie is so cute."
cute?
Shang Chen felt a throbbing pain in her temples when she thought of the post her mother had made.
Fortunately, his mother deleted the post after he insisted on it.
Otherwise, it will definitely cause trouble in front of Wenxi.
He doesn't find his mother cute at all now.
Wenxi played with the dog for a while, then looked at Shang Chen curiously: "Why did you suddenly decide to give me a New Year's gift?"
It's still alive.
Just then, Zhou Ruo came out carrying a plate of fruit and said with a meaningful smile, "It seems that giving New Year's gifts is popular this year."
"Really?" Wenxi believed Zhou Ruo's words without a doubt. "Studying really does make people stupid. I didn't even know that."
Shang Chen followed up, "You'll have time after the college entrance exam."
Wenxi: "You said the same thing as the teacher."
After exchanging a few words, Shang Chen's gaze fell on the puppy.
Wenxi is taking the college entrance exam this semester, and then there's this dog.
She probably doesn't have the energy to go out and have fun with her male classmates.
The two made plans to play ball.
After playing all afternoon, Wenxi was exhausted and leaned directly on Shang Chen.
Wenxi: Aren't you tired?
"good."
Shang Chen unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Wen Xi.
Wenxi took the water, drank some, and handed it to Shang Chen, continuing to lean against the wall to save energy.
Wenxi muttered unconsciously, "So tired, so tired... Shang Chen, carry me back."
After finishing his water, Shang Chen tidied up his things with one hand.
Upon hearing this, he paused, "Aren't you afraid of what people will say?"
"How long ago was that? Do you still remember?"
Wenxi muttered, "You're one to talk, aren't you the same? You don't remember any good things, but you remember my embarrassing moments."
When Wenxi was just old enough to understand things, she often asked Shang Chen to carry her on his back.
Sometimes it's because I'm lazy, and sometimes it's because I want to play.
Once, a passing child disapproved and said, "You're such a grown-up, why are you carrying people on your back? Aren't you ashamed!"
Xiao Wenxi, who was very concerned about saving face, immediately got angry, went downstairs, put her hands on her hips, and argued with the other party.
Her face turned bright red with anger.
After that, they never mentioned making Shang Chen carry it again.
Shang Chen: "I remember everything about you very clearly."
Wenxi laughed and said, "Looking back now, I was quite domineering when I was a kid."
"That's true."
Shang Chen wholeheartedly affirmed this.
That time, because he didn't help Wenxi argue, Wenxi gave him the cold shoulder, and it took Shang Chen a whole day to coax her back.
Wenxi: "Chenchen, you're so pitiful."
Shang Chen was puzzled: "?"
“I was bullied by you since I was a child because you were ‘unreasonable’.”
Shang said in a deep voice, "You can continue to bully him in the future."
Wenxi was stunned.
She wouldn't have thought much of what Shang Chen said before.
But ever since she started thinking about the marriage between the two families, Wenxi has been unable to control her thoughts.
Shang Chen told her to continue bullying him, for how long? And in what capacity would she bully him?
Wen Xi snorted, "Then you're not allowed to regret it!"
No regrets.
After Shang Chen finished speaking, he squatted down and asked, "Excuse me, domineering Miss Wen Xi, do you still want me to carry you?"
Wenxi: "Yes!"
She's not the stubborn little girl she used to be anymore, is she?
Wenxi lunged forward and landed on Shang Chen's back.
Even through his thin shirt, Wenxi could feel the heat emanating from him.
She gently pressed her cheek against Shang Chen's back, and seemed to be able to hear his strong and powerful heartbeat.
Fluttering, fluttering.
In a daze, Wenxi felt that it wasn't Shang Chen's heartbeat, but hers.
We walked for a while.
Wenxi suddenly whispered, "Shang Chen, I can hear your heartbeat."
I can also guess your little secrets.
