Chapter 207 You Should Give Your Family a Surprise
Xu Jialan was completely stunned.
"You...you know?"
Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows, and his fingertips moved to the side, landing on her earlobe, and the fair skin was visibly stained with a light red.
"I can't know?"
"……no."
Xu Jialan carefully looked at the man's expression and saw that he looked calm. It was hard to tell whether he was jealous or angry.
She pursed her lips and said, "I don't know that person, and I only said two words to him, so don't..."
Shen Xichuan looked at the skin that was getting redder and redder, chuckled, and withdrew his hand.
"I know."
Xu Jialan blinked, and only reacted when she saw the smile on his face.
"You're not angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Shen Xichuan asked back, "Didn't you say it? You don't know that person, and even if you spoke, you didn't say a few words. Why should I be angry for such a person?"
Xu Jialan looked at him, not knowing what to feel.
It's like I want him to be jealous, but I'm afraid he'll be unhappy if he gets jealous.
When he is really not jealous or angry, he feels a little lost.
This feeling is really weird.
Shen Xichuan did not miss the subtle changes on Xu Jialan’s face, and the corners of his lips curled up, “However, I am still a little jealous.”
Eh?
Xu Jialan subconsciously raised his head to look at him, "What?"
She seemed to be wondering if she had heard it wrong.
The man reached out and held her hand, gently stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips, "You're jealous that someone discovered my beautiful wife."
Xu Jialan was stunned.
"I kind of want to hide you so that no one can see you. What should I do?" he murmured.
The voice is very soft.
But she still heard it.
Xu Jialan opened and closed his mouth blankly, stammering, "You...what did you say?"
Her mind was working at high speed.
It seemed as if the words he just said were repeating in my ears.
She understood every word.
But when they are put together, it’s a little hard to understand.
Or perhaps, unbelievable.
Looking at her dazed look, the man laughed helplessly, "Do you think I'm really that generous?"
"You're so generous that when others see you and want to chat you up, or look at you in amazement at your beauty, I don't feel anything at all? How is that possible?"
He has never been a generous man.
Xu Jialan came back to his senses and shook his head, "But why didn't you tell me?"
"What did you say?" Shen Xichuan brought an empty bowl, filled it with hot soup for her, and placed it next to her hand. "Are you saying that I can't stand others looking at you for even a second, otherwise I'll get jealous, or are you saying that I want to keep my beautiful wife in a beautiful house?"
Hearing what he said, Xu Jialan's face couldn't help but get slightly hot, and she said coquettishly, "Shen Xichuan."
Does he know what he is talking about?
The man chuckled, "Don't worry, my wife's beauty is more than just simple pretty. She's beautiful when she's working hard, and she's also beautiful when she's working hard to win a case."
Xu Jialan looked at him in astonishment without saying a word.
His gentle voice still rings in my ears.
"Also, when you secretly drank ice cola, when you blushed and called my name, when you drunkenly asked for a hug, you were all beautiful."
The man looked at her deeply, "There is a beauty here that belongs only to me, which others cannot see. So, at certain times, I can be more generous."
"After all, my wife is a shining pearl that shouldn't be covered in dust. She should continue to shine in her field, and I won't be the one to stop her from shining."
…
“So, Shen Xichuan already knew about you being hit on by someone last night?”
An Yuening held a cup of hot floral tea but before she could drink it, her eyes widened.
Xu Jialan looked at her helplessly and nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
"So what was his reaction?"
An Yuening was very curious.
When Xu Jialan heard this, the words the man said to her at the dinner table last night emerged in her mind, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
An Yuening narrowed her eyes and said, "If there's something wrong, tell me quickly."
Xu Jialan was silent for a few seconds, and then succinctly told her what Shen Xichuan had expressed last night.
After hearing this, An Yuening's reaction was even greater. "Holy crap? Your husband is really awesome. No wonder you've been secretly in love with him for ten years. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to help but be moved if a man spoke to me like that."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but complain, "How come they are both born by the same mother, but the other one is like a piece of wood?"
Xu Jialan's ears turned slightly red and he smiled, "Big brother is also very good to you."
It’s just that the two brothers have different personalities.
The way of dealing with feelings is naturally different.
However, what Shen Xichuan said did make her heart move again.
"That's fine with me."
After drinking a sip of hot tea, An Yuening asked, "Then why didn't you take advantage of this good opportunity last night to give him the gift you carefully prepared yesterday?"
Hearing this, Xu Jialan was stunned, "I forgot."
It turns out that sweet words can easily make people dizzy and forget about the real things.
An Yuening: "..."
She really didn't know what to say.
"So when do you plan to deliver it? And that..."
She winked and said, "You should give your loved one a surprise, right?"
Xu Jialan knew what she was talking about as soon as he heard it, and his face immediately turned red. "Okay, stop talking."
"What's the big deal? It's normal for a couple, but it just wastes a bit of fabric."
An Yuening spoke with an expression that said, "I've been through this."
Xu Jialan: "..."
She didn't really want to hear it.
…
It was approaching New Year’s Eve, and Shen Xichuan didn’t even know that Xu Jialan had prepared two gifts for him.
Xu Jialan didn't find a chance to send it out either.
She rarely saw him these days.
But she knew he had come back.
It's just that he came back too late and left too early, so she didn't see him.
On New Year’s Eve.
The entire villa has been decorated long ago.
Everywhere you look, you can see the festive atmosphere.
At the dining table, everyone was there except Shen Xichuan.
"Lanlan, did Xiaochuan tell you when he will be back? I asked someone to arrange the time for the New Year's Eve dinner." Mrs. Shen asked.
Xu Jialan looked up, "Mom, he said he would be back in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's good. This year's New Year's Eve dinner can finally be eaten together as a family."
After breakfast, the housekeeper had someone bring in a long table and placed it in the living room. On the table were the four treasures of the study and blank spring couplets.
Xu Jialan was slightly stunned. "Are you writing Spring Festival couplets?"
The head of the Shen family smiled and said, "Yes, this is a family custom. Every year we write the Spring Festival couplets ourselves and then put them up."
An Yuening, who was standing nearby, tilted her head and asked her husband, "You can do it too?"
Shen Yankai hugged her waist and looked down at her, "Why wouldn't I?"
An Yuening blinked and said, "I can't tell."
Shen Yankai: “…”
He reluctantly let go of his hand, walked over, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink and licked it.
The tip of the pen wrote smoothly on the Spring Festival couplets.
An Yuening's eyes widened slightly. She didn't expect that he would really do that.
After finishing his pen, Shen Yankai raised his eyes and saw An Yuening's reaction. He raised his beautiful eyebrows and said, "How is it? Do you suddenly think your husband is so handsome?"
An Yuening: "..."
"What's so cool about this? Our Lanlan can do it too, right?"
