After coming to the kitchen.
Sheng Wu casually put down the skirt she was holding, and put away her innocent smile in a place where no one was around. She raised her chin slightly, lowered her eyes, and when she raised her eyes again, the harmless and immature look disappeared.
Instead, there was a calculating and cunning sneer, and her beautiful eyes were shimmering in darkness.
She stayed in the kitchen for a minute before returning to the bedroom.
"Ma'am, why are you coming from the kitchen?"
Chunxi saw her from a distance and ran over immediately.
Sheng Wu remained calm, "I got lost while walking around earlier, but now I'm familiar with these places."
She walked towards the room.
"Madam, old..." Chunxi was about to say something.
When Sheng Wu looked up, she ran into Chen Guiwu who had just returned late at night.
“…”
Chen Guiwu, who came out to greet her after hearing the noise, met Sheng Wu's eyes. Perhaps because of what happened in the morning, both of them became a little restrained.
There was a momentary awkward atmosphere on the scene.
"...The master is back." He silently added what he had just said.
Chunxi noticed it and quietly stepped back, leaving space for the two of them.
"Are you done?"
Sheng Wu stepped over the threshold, moved sideways to sit beside him, and was the first to break the silent atmosphere.
"Yeah, almost."
Seeing her walk straight past him and towards the bedroom, Chen Guiwu felt a little uneasy. After all, he was the one who did something wrong this morning.
"Squeak." A soft sound.
Chen Guiwu looked over and saw the bedroom door that was about to be closed by Sheng Wu. He didn't care about his crutches and quickly stepped forward to use his hand.
"Hiss!" A cold sound of sucking in breath.
The door that was about to close was stopped by his arm.
The force was quite strong, causing him to frown in pain.
Seeing this, Sheng Wu, who had been nonchalant, quickly frowned, opened the door, grabbed his arm and quickly lifted up his robe to take a look.
"Are you suffering from Alzheimer's? How can you block the door like that?"
As he spoke, he looked down and saw some red marks on Shen Guiwu's strong arm with blue veins.
"No problem, just a tickle."
Seeing how worried she was, Chen Guiwu's guilty conscience almost disappeared. He didn't feel any pain at all, and even raised his thin lips slightly to ask carefully in a gentle voice.
"So, are you still angry..."
"You... humph!"
Hearing this, Sheng Wu pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at the man, then let go of his hand, turned around and walked straight into the bedroom, ignoring him.
Seeing this, Chen Guiwu quickly closed the door and followed. He did not use the injury on his arm as a bargaining chip to gain sympathy. He used a coercive and moral kidnapping method to make Sheng Wu calm down. Instead, he covered up the red marks on his arm well.
"Awu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so reckless this morning and left so suddenly. But I didn't come back for a day because something urgent happened."
Sheng Wu was still sitting at the dressing table, taking off some of the kingfisher-inlaid hair accessories on her head, while Chen Guiwu stood behind her and admitted his mistakes humbly.
Hearing this, Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows lazily, just looked at herself in the mirror, began to loosen her hair, and didn't even look at him.
In a lukewarm tone, "What's wrong with you? It's normal to have important things to do."
The old man just left it alone after he started the fire and put on his pants without recognizing anyone.
Chen Guiwu, who heard a hint of anger, could not help but smile secretly, but he did not dare to let Sheng Wu see it. He just curved his eyebrows, bent his head slightly, and took the initiative to move Sheng Wu's hair.
"Yeah, that's right. After all, everything about Awu is serious business."
Sheng Wu's face turned red when she heard this, and she turned around and glared at him unhappily.
"What are you talking about!"
She deliberately took her hair away from Shen Guiwu's hand.
The girl's angry expression was vivid and lively, and her red lips were slightly pursed because of depression, making her look like a sulking little squirrel.
"Yes, yes, I talked nonsense again, I deserve to be punished!"
Chen Guiwu was amused, and his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes suddenly revealed a hint of doting. He took out something as if by magic.
"If I make you angry once in the future, I will punish you by giving you a deed to the Shen family. How about that?"
Sheng Wu lowered her eyes and looked carefully at the land deed paper in his hand, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. She chuckled helplessly and looked up at him in disbelief.
"No, when other people's wives are angry, they give them jewelry and gems. Why did you give them a land deed?" Should we say that he has no sense of humor, or that he is too interested?
"I thought about it and decided that those things were too tacky and didn't mean anything to me. They weren't enough to alert me."
Chen Guiwu was too tall, about 1.8 meters. Seeing Sheng Wu tilting her neck, he simply bent down and half-knelt beside Sheng Wu's chair. He held her hand with one hand and stretched it out, and with the other hand placed the deed in her soft white palm.
He raised his head, his clear and gentle eyes fixed on Sheng Wu, his thin lips slightly parted, and his low and slow voice revealed a mature and magnetic charm.
"Although the Shen family has many land deeds, the most important mansions are only about a dozen. After I angered you, I gave you the land deeds. This means I am putting my life and property in your hands. If you are disappointed and angry with me in the future, you can take these and run away. You don't have to be restricted by me or the Shen family anymore."
Sheng Wu listened, her heart moved slightly, and she looked at the man in front of her with a dazed look, who was thinking about her in everything.
"You..." He lowered his eyes and looked at the deed in his hand with mixed and bitter feelings, feeling that it was a little hot.
He could actually do this!
Her eyes felt a little hot, and Sheng Wu took a deep breath. She returned the deed to the man.
"I don't want it."
The tone was firm and without hesitation.
Chen Guiwu frowned, "Why."
Sheng Wu's face was serious and solemn. "I'm marrying you, not your Shen family. It makes me feel uneasy and panicky when I have these things in my hands. If you really have this intention, you will show it to me in the future. I don't want to use this as a bargaining chip to coerce you."
"Awu, listen carefully. This isn't coercion. This is a guarantee for you. Don't worry, only the two of us know about this. No one else will know that you have the Shen family's land deed."
Chen Guiwu put the deed into her hands again, then stood up and took Sheng Wu into his arms.
He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the reflection of the two of them in the mirror. His long eyelashes could not hide the tender affection between them.
"I can't protect you for a hundred years, I can only pave a way out for you."
Every word was so deafening that it shook the listeners' hearts.
There is a hint of deep meaning in his obscure eyes.
Hearing this, Sheng Wu opened her lips, but when she saw the worry in the man's eyes, she swallowed the words of refusal. She could only sigh softly and nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." He paused, "But if you ever want these deeds back, just tell me."
Chen Guiwu raised his eyelids and stared at her, his brows and eyes gentle.
"good."
