Chapter 230 Shen Xichuan: I’m a bit disappointed
the next day.
It is also the last day of the New Year holiday.
Xu Jialan had a rare and comfortable sleep in.
She huddled in the quilt, still holding the man's arm with her face pressed against it.
It’s warm and comfortable.
She rubbed it subconsciously without opening her eyes.
After a while, a man's voice sounded above his head.
"woke up?"
Xu Jialan hummed, still not opening his eyes.
The quilt almost covered her.
If you don’t look carefully, you might not see that there is another person on the bed besides Shen Xichuan who is sitting next to him.
Shen Xichuan seemed to put something down, then turned sideways and looked down at her.
"Not going to get up? Lazy pig."
"Sleepy." She mumbled a word.
The man paused and chuckled, "So sleepy?"
Xu Jialan didn't think much about it and just nodded.
Shen Xichuan didn’t know what he was thinking, and said to himself, “It’s a bit of a loss.”
Xu Jialan, who was in the bed, heard it and was stunned for a moment, "What loss?"
She lifted the quilt, revealing her fair face with a faint blush on both sides of her cheeks.
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes to look at her, just seeing her face, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he bent his fingers and gently stroked it.
"I just feel like I lost out by letting you sleep well last night."
The tone sounded a little nonchalant.
Xu Jialan's expression froze.
She silently pulled the quilt over her face again.
Seeing her actions, Shen Xichuan laughed, “What’s wrong? Am I wrong?”
"What's more, it seems that I'm not the only one who suffers."
He lowered his head and spoke in a low voice on the quilt.
"After all, you are responsible for enjoying the experience, and I am responsible for working hard."
Xu Jialan: "..."
Her voice echoed from under the covers.
“Shen Xichuan.”
The man pursed his lips to suppress his laughter and hummed, "I'm here."
"Just shut up."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
Shen Xichuan reached out and pulled off the quilt, his tone doting, "Why are you so stupid? Aren't you afraid of suffocating yourself?"
Xu Jialan didn't look at him.
"I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dumplings and soy milk. Get up and wash up, and I'll go downstairs and bring them to you, okay?"
Xu Jialan sat up, scratched his hair and yawned, "I'll go downstairs to eat."
Obviously nothing happened.
What would it mean to ask him to serve breakfast again?
Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows, but did not object, “Okay.”
He stood by the bed and held out his hand to her.
Xu Jialan saw his actions, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally put his hand on it.
The man bent down, picked her up, and walked towards the bathroom.
…
The buns made by the Shen family’s chef are much more delicious than those sold in breakfast shops outside.
Xu Jialan's appetite was opened and he ate several baskets.
Shen Xichuan was almost scared.
He asked someone to prepare some sour plum soup and bring it over.
Xu Jialan looked at the dumplings that had been taken away and pouted unconsciously.
Shen Xichuan was helpless, “If you eat more, your stomach will be uncomfortable.”
In the end, Xu Jialan only drank a sip of the hot soy milk in his cup, and then took small sips of the sour plum soup to help digestion.
“Let’s pack up later, we’ll go home later.” Shen Xichuan said.
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "Today? So soon?"
Shen Xichuan nodded, “Did you forget? You have to go to the laboratory tomorrow, and this place is far from the laboratory, which is inconvenient.”
Xu Jialan didn't expect the vacation to end so soon.
She sighed, "Okay then."
There is everything in the house and there is nothing to pack up and take away.
Xu Jialan just took the computer away.
When Mrs. Shen learned that they were leaving, she wanted to persuade them to stay a few more days.
But knowing that Xu Jialan would have to go back to the laboratory starting tomorrow, he gave up.
"Okay, I've already picked out a few wedding venues for you. When the time comes, you two can choose carefully when you get back."
"good."
"Also, the wedding photos have been taken, but the wedding dress has not been decided yet. Lanlan, remember to tell me when you have chosen one."
Xu Jialan nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Mrs. Shen was worried and gave them a few more instructions before letting them go.
On the way back, Xu Jialan discovered that this was not the way back to Xinghu Bay.
She looked at Shen Xichuan doubtfully, “Aren’t we going home?”
Shen Xichuan smiled and looked in the rearview mirror, "I'm going home."
Xu Jialan: “?”
The man glanced at her quickly sideways, "But, we're not going back to that home in Xinghu Bay, but to our new home."
Xu Jialan was stunned again, "New home?"
Shen Xichuan hummed without further explanation.
The vehicle slowly drove into an upscale residential area.
This place is less than fifteen minutes' drive from the laboratory.
It’s not far from Xinghu Bay.
Xu Jialan knows this community.
When she bought a house nearby before, the salesperson complained to her that this community was never sold to the public.
When looking at a house, you also need to consider the bank card balance.
Even if you have this balance, it depends on whether you can catch the developer's eye.
After all, those who live there are either very rich or very powerful.
Living there is equivalent to having the network resources there.
This is not something that can be bought with monetary figures.
"Are we... going to live here?"
She looked at the man in surprise.
Shen Xichuan parked the car in front of one of the buildings and unbuckled his seat belt.
"Well, get out of the car."
He walked around to the passenger side and opened the door.
The man took Xu Jialan's hand and walked into the building.
He had a card in his hand, which he almost had to swipe to get in.
"This place is relatively quiet, and the security facilities are relatively safer."
He was still frightened by several things that happened before.
Even Shen Yankai had already arranged bodyguards around Xu Jialan.
He wasn't very reassured either.
Only then did Xu Jialan realize why he chose this community.
She couldn't help but smile when she thought of what the salesperson had said before.
Shen Xichuan swiped the card, pressed the elevator button, and looked at her, “What are you laughing at?”
Xu Jialan pursed her lips, then briefly told her what the salesperson had said.
Shen Xichuan raised his eyes slightly, “She is right.”
Xu Jialan: “?”
“If you want to come here to look at houses, you really need these.”
The elevator door opened, and Shen Xichuan led her out, “But we don’t need these.”
"Why?"
The houses here are all one-floor-per-unit.
Shen Xichuan raised his hand, unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and said slowly, “The developer here is an enterprise invested by the Shen Group, and I happen to have shares in this company.”
Xu Jialan: “…?”
The two stood at the door.
Shen Xichuan turned sideways to look at her, “But now, these things are all yours.”
Xu Jialan looked stunned.
