Chapter 22 The Coachman's Dark Moonlight Green Plum 21
Although Shen Xinran didn't feel anxious, Cao Xiuyun was anxious.
The next day, he dragged Shen Xinran out shopping. "Don't think half a year is a long time. I'm telling you, it's time to prepare some things."
Shen Xinran looked puzzled, "Preparing for what?"
Cao Xiuyun nodded at Shen Xinran and said, "Your parents have already prepared your dowry and other things. But according to custom, you have to make a set of clothes for Zhao Huaxing."
Hearing that her dowry was ready, Shen Xinran was a little curious and asked, "Mom, what is my dowry?"
Cao Xiuyun smiled and said, "Antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. Every year on your birthday, your father and I buy you ten taels of gold. Now it's almost over forty kilograms!"
Shen Xinran was stunned for a moment, because when Chen Qingpeng's factory went bankrupt and they were in such a difficult time, they didn't even think of taking out the gold for emergency, which was enough to show their love for their daughter.
Cao Xiuyun glanced at Shen Xinran and continued, "Don't think that everything will be fine just because you have gold. Mom tells you, a woman's best dowry is a considerate and warm heart, and a man's best betrothal gift is a lifetime of tolerance and love."
Cao Xiuyun sighed halfway through her speech and said, "You two will have to manage yourselves from now on. Your parents won't be able to help you."
Shen Xinran held Chen Xiuyun's hand and smiled sweetly, "Mom, I know."
Cao Xiuyun took Shen Xinran to the cloth shop and helped Shen Xinran choose two pieces of cloth. "Xiao Zhao often goes to the military camp, and it's very dusty there, so try to choose clothes with darker colors."
Shen Xinran instantly turned into a frost-bitten eggplant, wilting. "But I don't know how to make clothes!"
Cao Xiuyun smiled and said, "It's not difficult. I'll teach you when we get home."
"Really?" Shen Xinran asked doubtfully. She felt that Cao Xiuyun might not be able to teach her. She might end up having to buy ready-made clothes for Zhao Huaxing.
Shen Xinran and Cao Xiuyun each carried a piece of cloth home. What they didn't know was that a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out from the corner.
Those cold eyes looked at Shen Xinran's back silently and gloomily, looking eerie and terrifying.
This gaze, like that of a poisonous snake, was filled with a creepy and terrifying look.
When Shen Xinran returned home, she saw Zhao Huaxing at her door. Holding the cloth, she frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Huaxing pointed to the gate next door and smiled, "I just moved in this morning. Hello, new neighbor."
Looking at the pride in Zhao Huaxing's eyes, Shen Xinran took a deep breath. She endured it!
What’s more terrifying is yet to come. After Cao Xiuyun learned that Zhao Huaxing had moved next door, she actually invited him over for dinner.
"Xiao Zhao, it must be inconvenient for you to live there alone and eat. Why don't you come over to eat with us from now on?"
Zhao Huaxing readily agreed, "Okay, thank you, auntie."
Shen Xinran clenched her fists and endured it.
At night, Shen Xinran prepared to go to bed.
Suddenly there was a strange noise coming from the window. She opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Huaxing again.
She frowned, "You haven't left yet?"
"I left!" Zhao Huaxing smiled and pointed to the wall between the two houses. "Then I climbed over the wall again."
Shen Xinran opened her mouth and wanted to shout: "Dad, someone is climbing over the wall." But Zhao Huaxing predicted her behavior, covered her mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't shout, I brought you food."
Shen Xinran's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded, signaling Zhao Huaxing to open her mouth. But after Zhao Huaxing let go, she opened her mouth again.
Zhao Huaxing once again predicted her movements, covered her mouth with one hand, supported the window with the other hand, and climbed into the room through the window.
He acted like a rogue, "You can yell, and I'll tell you that you missed me and won't let me go."
The word "speechless" was almost written on Shen Xinran's face.
But she still liked the pepper chicken that Zhao Huaxing brought. While eating, she asked, "Where did you buy it?"
Zhao Huaxing smiled proudly, "I knew you would like it. This is a new place that opened in the north of the city."
The pepper chicken was huge. Shen Xinran ate half of it, wiped his hands, and put it aside. "Okay, I can't eat any more."
Zhao Huaxing picked up the remaining half and began to eat. As he ate, he said, "Wanrong, you are so kind to me. You left so much for me."
Seeing the touching expression on Zhao Huaxing's face, Shen Xinran said: "..."
Male lead, have you forgotten that you brought all this here?
This male protagonist is probably a love-brained person!
From that day on, Zhao Huaxing began to visit Chen's house at night, but he never came empty-handed, he would always bring delicious food for Shen Xinran.
With Shen Xinran's indulgence and Zhao Huaxing's connivance, Shen Xinran suddenly discovered one day that her face had become rounder.
She asked Cao Xiuyun, "Mom, have you noticed that I've gained weight recently?"
Cao Xiuyun just glanced at her indifferently and said, "You just realized it!"
Shen Xinran was heartbroken because she had not gained weight after eating it for so many years. She thought she was born with a slim body.
It turns out that there is no such thing as a naturally fat-free physique. It's just that the time has not come yet.
So, when faced with the lotus cake that Zhao Huaxing brought in the evening, Shen Xinran righteously refused it. "Don't bring me food anymore."
Zhao Huaxing stood in front of the window, his mind buzzing with thoughts, "Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"
Shen Xinran shook his head, frowning, "No, I want to lose weight."
Zhao Huaxing asked: "Why do you want to lose weight?"
Shen Xinran looked at him with resentment and sighed, "Haven't you noticed that I've gained weight recently?"
"I think you look just right like this, chubby and so fun!" Zhao Huaxing laughed.
After he finished speaking, he reached out and pinched the flesh on Shen Xinran's cheek. The skin was smooth and felt great.
How can you use the word "chubby" to describe a woman? Shen Xinran opened his eyes wide, "Too much!"
She slapped Zhao Huaxing's hand away and slammed the window shut.
Looking at the closed window, Zhao Huaxing withdrew his hand awkwardly. He knew that Shen Xinran might be really angry this time.
But isn’t it good to be a little fat? It would be so comfortable to hold.
He was already looking forward to the feeling of holding Shen Xinran in his arms after they got married. But now he could only think of ways to make Shen Xinran happy, and he had no idea what she liked.
The next day, Zhao Huaxing asked Zhang Laowu for advice. "Every time you make your wife angry, how do you coax her?"
Zhang Laowu frowned, still a little puzzled, and asked, "Where did you get your wife?"
Zhao Huaxing was stunned for a moment. "Haven't I told you yet? I'm getting married! To Chen Wanrong."
Looking at the sweet smile on Zhao Huaxing's face, Zhang Laowu hesitated to speak. He had been with Zhao Huaxing for three years, so how could he not know him if others didn't?
Zhao Huaxing bought the ticket that year and had a chance to escape, but he was badly cheated by Chen Wanrong.
Although Zhao Huaxing is living a good life now, we cannot ignore the harm he suffered in the past.
