Chapter 117 I Quit Smoking Because I Was Afraid Mrs. Shen Would Dislike Me
The sound of water dripping could be heard in the bathroom.
I don’t know how long it lasted.
In the end, Xu Jialan was carried out.
She lay dazed on Shen Xichuan's body.
Her long, silky hair draped wetly behind her back.
Shen Xichuan raised his hand, gathered his wet hair, fished out a clean bathrobe, and put it on her first.
Xu Jialan just let him toss her around softly.
The man lowered his eyes, looking at her unable to open her eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He pinched her chin and pecked her lips lightly.
"Be good, blow dry your hair before going to bed."
Xu Jialan lazily opened his eyes and glanced at him with a somewhat resentful look.
"tired."
The voice is also soft.
Shen Xichuan felt incredibly soft-hearted when he heard this.
There was a faint smile in his eyes. He let her lean on his shoulder and said, "I'll blow you."
After saying that, he picked up the hair dryer and dried her hair carefully and skillfully.
The warm wind makes people drowsy.
After his hair was dried, Xu Jialan had already fallen asleep.
Shen Xichuan held the back of her head and slowly lowered his gaze.
There were glaring red marks under the loose bathrobe.
The girl's skin is so tender that the slightest touch can leave shocking marks.
When Shen Xichuan saw those traces, his brows knitted.
His fingertips touched it lightly.
The sleeping girl frowned.
Shen Xichuan was silent for a long while.
He went to the cloakroom next door to get a set of pajamas and changed her into them even more gently.
Xu Jialan let him torment her and never woke up.
Shen Xichuan covered her with a quilt before getting up to clean the house.
After cleaning up, he went to the bathroom and took a hot shower before coming out.
As soon as he lay down, Xu Jialan habitually snuggled into his arms.
The man curled his lips in satisfaction at her reaction.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Good night."
Xu Jialan slept peacefully.
…
the next day.
Shen Xichuan woke up three hours later than usual.
He opened his eyes and saw the girl in his arms.
Xu Jialan still hasn't woken up.
Shen Xichuan looked at her for a few seconds, then raised his hand and touched her face.
Soft and a little warm.
Xu Jialan rubbed his palm subconsciously.
But he didn't wake up.
Shen Xichuan curled his lips, held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and took a nap with her again.
Later, it was a call from Mrs. Shen that woke him up.
Xu Jialan was so sleepy that when she heard the buzzing sound, she buried herself in the man's arms in annoyance.
Shen Xichuan opened her eyes and subconsciously covered her ears.
He reached out and grabbed the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and clicked answer, but didn't put it to his ear.
Instead, he lowered his head to comfort the girl in his arms.
"Stop making noise, dear."
As he spoke, he patted her shoulder.
Xu Jialan's slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
After she fell asleep, Shen Xichuan got up carefully.
The environment here is very quiet.
What Shen Xichuan said was heard clearly on the other end of the phone.
Mrs. Shen: “…”
She checked the time and was silent for a moment.
Finally, I looked at the phone that was on the line and waited patiently.
After about a few minutes.
Mrs. Shen vaguely heard the sound of the door opening.
Then, Shen Xichuan’s voice sounded, “Mom, what do you want from me?”
The voice was low and hoarse from just waking up.
Mrs. Shen was quiet for a few seconds before speaking, "You guys..."
She wanted to say something, but finally held it back.
Mrs. Shen coughed lightly and asked, "I want to ask you, when will you have time to take Lanlan to try on wedding dresses? Don't forget the wedding photos you promised me."
Shen Xichuan stood on the balcony, looking down at the scenery below.
Hearing this, he was silent for a few seconds, "Let me ask her first."
Mrs. Shen thought about what happened after the call was connected just now, "..."
Seeing this, she didn't urge him anymore, but just said in a complicated tone, "Girls need to maintain their figure when wearing wedding dresses. It won't look good if you have a big belly."
Shen Xichuan: “…”
He was a little helpless, "I know."
"That's all I need to know."
Mrs. Shen also understood that her son knew his limits.
However, she still couldn't help but warned, "Girls need to be treated with pity, don't bully them too harshly."
Shen Xichuan held his forehead, “Mom.”
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. She's your wife anyway. If she gets scared and runs away, you'll be the one crying."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Shen hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Xichuan to say anything.
Shen Xichuan: “…”
He held the phone in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
…
Xu Jialan turned over and subconsciously wanted to get into the man's arms, but missed.
She frowned and was about to open her eyes to see what was going on.
Shen Xichuan just came back to the bedroom and saw this scene.
He laughed indulgently, put his phone on the bedside table, lifted the quilt, lay down, and skillfully held her in his arms.
His hands patted his back gently, soothing him.
Xu Jialan leaned against his chest and asked in a muffled voice, "Where have you been?"
Shen Xichuan looked down at her and said, “I went out to answer a phone call.”
Xu Jialan sniffed and smelled a faint scent of cigarettes.
It's not very strong, but you can still smell it.
"Did you smoke?" she asked with her eyes closed.
Shen Xichuan frowned, “Does it smell bad?”
Xu Jialan raised his eyes and looked at him, hummed and shook his head.
She raised her hand and hugged his waist, "It doesn't smell bad."
If it was someone else's cigarette smell, she probably wouldn't be able to stand it.
But for some reason, the faint smell of smoke on him made her feel at ease.
Or maybe that's his smell.
That's why she doesn't hate it.
Shen Xichuan touched her head and said, “If you don’t like it, I won’t smoke it in the future.”
"Quit smoking?"
The man hummed, “For Mrs. Shen.”
As he spoke, he lowered his head to her ear and whispered softly, "I'm afraid you'll dislike me."
Xu Jialan curled his lips and said, "No."
"No what?" He curled his lips.
Xu Jialan said patiently, "I won't mind."
"Really? Let me see."
As Shen Xichuan said this, he pinched her chin, lowered his head, and kissed her.
Xu Jialan subconsciously opened his eyes and was about to push him away with his hand.
"I didn't brush my teeth."
The man chuckled, "I don't mind you."
Xu Jialan: “…”
She may dislike herself.
Shen Xichuan hugged her waist tightly and brought her into his arms.
There was a coolness in his embrace.
Xu Jialan placed his hand on his chest, feeling the heartbeat under his palm, and curled his fingertips slightly.
The breathing of the two people rubbing against each other made the air around them scorching hot.
The slight coolness was replaced by a familiar heat.
Xu Jialan recalled the scene of last night and subconsciously pushed the man's chest.
“No…don’t.”
Shen Xichuan loosened his grip slightly, but still kept his lips close to hers, pecking them lightly.
"I won't touch you, but I'll give you a kiss, huh?"
Xu Jialan wanted to cry but had no tears, "..."
After last night, she had deeply felt that men's words were all lies.
