Considering tomorrow's events, Shen Tingwan didn't let Jiang Yan be too presumptuous.
In front of Jiang Yan, she was always like a little white rabbit, waiting to be eaten clean.
Chen Tingwan pushed Jiang Yan away breathlessly, and her whole body softened in Jiang Yan's arms. He carried her back to the room obediently.
She was so tired that she didn't even want to move a finger. Not long after lying on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
Shen Tingwan was awakened by the dazzling sunlight outside the window. She stretched and her eyes fell on the clock on the wall. She found that it was already nine o'clock without her knowing.
Thinking that he had to eat lunch today, Shen Tingwan hurriedly got up to pack.
The bed beside him had already become cold. Jiang Yan must have gotten up early and was now eating with his two children.
After dinner, Shen Tingwan found a skirt to put on, simply braided her long hair, and left the room.
The moment Ranran saw her, his small black eyes suddenly widened.
"Mom is so beautiful!"
Ran Ran seemed to have no resistance to beautiful things, and now she was hugging Shen Tingwan's thighs tightly.
Shen Tingwan laughed dumbly, "Baby's little mouth is so sweet."
Ran Ran smiled shyly, "Then Mom, can you help me choose a pair of shoes?"
On the sofa, Jiang Yan and his son Jiang Yuzhi had already tidied themselves up.
But the two of them watched helplessly as Chen Tingwan took Ranran to pick out shoes for a long time.
It was almost ten o'clock when the family went out.
Zhou Xiang's welcome ceremony was held in the state-owned restaurant where the family had dined last time. Captain Zhou specially prepared a large private room with two tables of food.
When Shen Tingwan walked in, he saw many familiar people sitting there.
Zhou Xiang was dressed up today. She took out the exquisite little dress she bought abroad and put it on. She also carefully drew her eyebrows and eyes.
But the moment he saw Shen Tingwan, the smile on Zhou Xiang's face stiffened a little.
Shen Tingwan's makeup was not very heavy. Her beautiful face and delicate features were so attractive that people couldn't take their eyes off her just by putting on some lipstick.
Zhou Xiang's nails couldn't help but dig into the palm of her hand.
When she saw Jiang Yan, a smile appeared on her face again.
Zhou Xiang was about to speak when she heard Qian Shu shout, "Wanwan! Sit here! I saved a seat for you!"
Jiang Yan naturally followed Shen Tingwan to Qian Shu's table.
Zhou Xiang glanced at the seat he had reserved and gritted his teeth.
Shen Tingwan sat down with her two children. Jiang Yan sat next to her, and the two little kids sat next to Jiang Yan.
Qian Shu, who was standing by, came close to Shen Tingwan and whispered softly, "I really didn't expect Zhou Xiang to invite me."
You know, she had only been in the family compound for less than half a year, and had no previous contact with Zhou Xiang, yet she actually invited herself.
This made Qian Shu a little flattered.
Shen Tingwan didn't know what Zhou Xiang was up to for a while.
She shrugged, "It's nothing, just treat it as an ordinary dinner."
After hearing this, Qian Shu couldn't help but point to the dishes on the table in front of her and said, "You call this an ordinary dinner?"
Shen Tingwan glanced at it and saw that there were indeed quite a few expensive dishes. She didn't expect the Zhou family to be so generous.
Not long after, Lu Yue also arrived, sat next to Qian Shu, and drank a glass of water before speaking.
"I rushed over right after I closed my stall. Isn't it too late?"
Qian Shu joked, "Of course it's not late. Dinner hasn't started yet."
Seeing this, Lu Yue said, "This is what they call arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time!"
While the two were talking, Captain Zhou raised his glass, first expressed his gratitude, and then asked Zhou Xiang to come up and say a few words.
Zhou Xiang walked forward under the gaze of everyone.
Shen Tingwan heard her say a bunch of touching words and saw Zhou Xiang's eyes fall on Jiang Yan from time to time.
If she was not Jiang Yan's wife, she would have just watched the show.
Only now...
There was coldness in Shen Tingwan's eyes, and he looked at Zhou Xiang expressionlessly.
Zhou Xiang seemed to have noticed something. After seeing the coldness between Chen Tingwan's eyebrows, she curled her lips slightly.
Shen Tingwan pursed his lips, his gaze slowly falling on Battalion Commander Zhou beside him.
Zhou Xiang was so preoccupied with his pride that he didn't notice that his father's gaze had gradually darkened.
Captain Zhou is not a fool. Some of Zhou Xiang’s words contain hidden love for Jiang Yan. It would be strange if he didn’t understand!
Thinking of this, Captain Zhou frowned.
When he asked Zhou Xiang before, her answer was clearly not like this, but now...
Thinking of what Zhou Xiang has done during this period, I am afraid that her purpose of coming back has always been Jiang Yan.
After Zhou Xiang finished speaking, he called on everyone to start using their chopsticks.
Seeing this, Qian Shu couldn't help but lean over to Shen Tingwan's ear and said, "What's going on? Why do I feel that Zhou Xiang's words are weird?"
Shen Tingwan remained silent, with a hint of coldness between his brows.
Qian Shu then said, "It's like confessing to someone."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Shu inexplicably felt the air around her turn colder.
Seeing Shen Tingwan’s cold face, Qian Shu swallowed silently.
Why does it feel like Wanwan's expression isn't very good...
She didn't say anything more and turned to talk to Lu Yue.
Jiang Yan's brows were furrowed, and his expression was also slightly cold.
He naturally understood what Zhou Xiang meant.
I just didn't expect her to be so bold, in front of so many people...
Jiang Yan didn't say anything and looked at Shen Tingwan.
A complex look flashed in the eyes of both of them at the same time.
Ran Ran pulled Shen Tingwan's sleeve and said in a low voice a little embarrassedly, "Mom, I want to go to the bathroom."
Shen Tingwan suppressed the coldness on his face and picked up Ranran.
The little girl was wearing a princess dress and hugged Shen Tingwan's shoulders obediently.
She looked at Shen Tingwan's expression and pursed her lips.
Ran Ran patted Shen Tingwan cautiously, "Mom, don't be angry, Ran Ran, be good."
When Shen Tingwan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
The bathroom was not far away, and they had arrived while talking. Shen Tingwan put Ran Ran down and said with a smile, "Why would Mom be angry with Ran Ran? Go quickly."
Ranran nodded and ran in quickly.
Seeing Ranran's small figure enter the bathroom, Shen Tingwan's brows turned cold.
When carrying Ranran back, Shen Tingwan happened to see Captain Zhou toasting with others.
Captain Zhou also saw Shen Tingwan.
The smile on his face froze as he thought of what his unfilial daughter had just said.
Shen Tingwan walked towards Battalion Commander Zhou.
"Captain Zhou."
Shen Tingwan's voice was clear and crisp, and his face showed no expression.
Captain Zhou knew at a glance that she already knew something.
Shen Tingwan went straight to the point and asked, "What do you think of what Zhou Xiang said?"
