Chapter 42 Perhaps... the technique is also lacking?
Wenxi had never heard of such a bizarre punishment before, and asked curiously, "You know how to farm?"
Shang Chen: "No."
"I've never been punished."
Shang Zhe murmured from the side, "This is the trouble caused by my older brother being too outstanding."
Wenxi chuckled, "I'd really like to see you working in the fields sometime."
Shang Zhe chimed in, "I've been waiting for this for twenty-seven years, ever since I was born."
Shang Chen glanced at him and said, "Then keep hoping."
He stood up, took Wenxi's hand, and walked towards the pond.
There are many ponds in the Jiangnan region, and this large manor has five ponds alone.
Shang Zhe and the others stared wide-eyed at the two holding hands.
After the two had walked away, someone exclaimed, "Was I seeing things? Was Shang Chen holding someone's hand?"
"Otherwise what? Isn't the person he's holding a person's hand?"
"He's not blind, he's holding his wife's hand."
"Wasn't it supposed to be a marriage of convenience? Wasn't it supposed to be a marriage in name only? Why is he suddenly taking the initiative?"
It's truly jaw-dropping to see a conservative old man take the initiative.
Everyone could see clearly that Shang Chen was the one who took the initiative to reach out and hold the other's hand!
All eyes turned to Shang Zhe: "Could there be some hidden story behind Brother Shang's marriage?"
Shang Zhe: "Don't ask me, I'm more curious than you are."
Shang Chen, that old-fashioned guy, is in a relationship, and he's still single?!
Fishing gear was neatly laid out by the pond. Shang Chen sat down and casually adjusted the line.
The surroundings were brightly lit. Wenxi, sitting to the side, asked curiously, "Are we in a hurry?"
Shang Chen glanced at her.
Wenxi: "Don't rush to tell me about fishing. Otherwise, it'll be awkward sitting here like this."
Shang Chen calmly taught Wenxi the basics of fishing, and helped her adjust the fishing rod next to her.
Wenxi listened attentively and sat down beside her, ready to try it out.
Shang Chen: "There's a horse farm next door, should we try it out tomorrow?"
Wenxi's resume clearly states that she loves horseback riding.
Wen Xi's cool eyes brightened slightly. "Go!"
As she was talking, her fishing rod moved.
Wenxi looked a little confused. "Did some fish come up?"
Shang Chen grabbed her hand with his large hand and pulled the fishing rod upwards.
A fish weighing three or four pounds flew up.
Wenxi appeared calm, but was actually a little flustered, afraid that the fish would jump onto her face.
Shang Chen quickly finished the fish.
Shang Zhe, who was standing nearby, came over with his men, his face full of shock: "You caught it already?"
Wenxi: "It was a lucky accident."
Shang Chen looked up at her and said, "You have talent."
Wenxi: "..."
She may be a little narcissistic, but she's not that narcissistic.
"It was just a coincidence."
Shang Zhe, standing nearby, laughed loudly: "Sister-in-law's newbie protection period is a bit too strong."
“My older brother has never caught a fish in this pond, but my sister-in-law caught one as soon as she arrived.”
"One has terrible luck, and the other has excellent luck; they're a match made in heaven."
Wenxi seemed to have heard some unbelievable news.
She looked at Shang Chen, asking silently.
'You've never caught a fish here before?'
Didn't you say you loved fishing?
Wasn't it supposed to be that you were experienced?!
Shang Chen: "..."
Loving to fish doesn't mean he can catch fish often.
Shang Chen had never paid attention to these words before, but he wavered when faced with Wen Xi's questioning gaze.
Later, Wenxi learned that this group of people loved to cheat each other, leaving only a few fish in the pond each time, and you couldn't catch any without a bit of luck.
Shang Chen was one of the unluckiest; he hadn't caught a single fish since coming to Jiangnan.
Perhaps... the technology is also lacking?
A young boy carrying a fish that Wenxi had caught rushed over, shouting as he ran, "My aunt caught a fish!"
"My aunt caught a fish!"
"Let's get off to a great start! Open a few bottles of wine!"
This young boy was from a branch of the Shang family; by seniority, he was Shang Chen's eldest nephew.
Shang Chen held her hand: "You're quite lucky."
Wen Xi replied modestly, "Just lucky, just lucky."
She looked down.
Today, Shang Chen especially liked to hold her hand. Whenever they were walking, Shang Chen would definitely be holding her hand.
She's become a bit clingy.
Shang Chen: "Come with me again next time."
This was the first time Shang Chen had made a request of Wen Xi, and Wen Xi agreed without hesitation.
"good."
With the fishing incident as a starting point, Shang Chen calmly spoke up, and Wen Xi calmly agreed; neither of them felt anything was amiss.
In the darkness of night, Shang Chen looked down at Wen Xi, his dark eyes like an impenetrable fog.
In the end, the fish that Wenxi caught was grilled and eaten.
While eating grilled fish, Shang Chen was picking out fish bones for Wen Xi.
Song Zhiqian leaned closer and asked, "Brother Chen, the cufflinks are nice, but they don't seem like your style?"
Shang Chen picked out the fish bones with exceptional elegance, glancing at Song Zhiqian indifferently, "Your sister-in-law gave it to me."
Everyone suddenly felt like they'd been fed a dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and their teeth even a little sore from the dog food.
Shang Zhe: "Sister-in-law has excellent taste; these cufflinks suit you perfectly."
He's secretly quite flirtatious.
They had arranged to go fishing that night. His older brother was wearing a shirt with dark red cufflinks, looking like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
It goes without saying who she wants to hook up with.
Shang Chen remained unmoved by the praise.
After eating, the others went fishing for several hours, but all returned empty-handed.
Wenxi also witnessed Shang Chen's 'high technology' and 'low luck'.
When they returned to the villa, Wenxi went upstairs to take a shower first.
Shang Chen was about to go upstairs when the doorbell rang.
He opened the door and saw Shang Zhe carrying two bottles of red wine: "Brother, these are from the old house, I forgot to give them to you."
Shang Chen accepted the red wine.
Shang Zhe asked curiously, "The villa also has red wine, so why do you insist that I bring it from the old house?"
Shang Chen glanced at him and said, "Your sister-in-law likes it."
He and Wenxi drank this brand the first two times.
There's a wine collection at the villa, but it's not this flavor, and he's afraid Wenxi won't like it.
Shang Zhe smiled enigmatically: "So you were planning to drink with your sister-in-law~"
Does the concept of sexual misconduct under the influence of alcohol also apply to married couples?
Shang Chen glanced at him with a slightly cold look in his eyes, "The movie on the plane, you downloaded it?"
Shang Chen didn't lie to Wen Xi; he had lent out his private jet some time ago.
The person who borrowed it was Shang Zhe.
Shang Zhe: "The movie? I downloaded it, so what?"
Shang Chen said expressionlessly, "Your taste is quite unique."
"You have a unique taste! What did you watch?!" Shang Zhe couldn't hide his shock. After a moment, he quickly explained, "Wait, I'm innocent! I downloaded the package, I didn't watch the whole thing."
He pressed on with curiosity, "Which movie did you and your sister-in-law watch?"
With a bang, the door slammed shut.
Shang Zhe touched his nose.
Is his older brother angry out of embarrassment?
Even if I don't tell him, he can still find out.
Don't forget that he still has the original resource pack on his phone.
Shang Zhe rushed back to his room and started binge-watching TV shows all night.
After Shang Chen went upstairs, he casually put down the red wine and turned around to see Wen Xi still looking for clothes.
"What's wrong?"
Wenxi said dejectedly, "There isn't a single set of women's pajamas in the villa."
