Chapter 25 He is really attracted to her
Mrs. Liang had long been accustomed to Mr. Liang's appearance.
He has a hard mouth but a soft heart, and he really needs to be coaxed.
Her eyes fell on the ancient book and she recognized it at a glance as the book that Mr. Liang had been thinking about for a long time.
When this ancient book suddenly appeared at the auction before, he talked about it for a long time.
But, it was sold at a high price.
At that time, Mr. Liang felt regretful.
I didn’t expect that Shen Xichuan would send it here as a gift today.
"Isn't this... a bit too expensive?"
Hearing this, Mr. Liang also reacted.
He looked at Shen Xichuan, “Yes, this is too valuable, Xiao Shen, you take this back, I will just copy it.”
Shen Xichuan smiled gently, “Master, this is our meeting gift for you, and also for Master’s wife.”
As he spoke, he took out a smaller wooden box from the gift box and opened it.
The jade Guanyin in the box was revealed.
Mrs. Liang likes jade, so how could she not see the value of this piece of jade?
No matter how calm she was, she was still shocked.
"this……"
After seeing this, Xu Jialan was also stunned for a few seconds.
Even though she was an outsider, it was not difficult for her to see the value of this jade Guanyin.
I didn’t expect Shen Xichuan to prepare such an expensive gift for Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang.
Shen Xichuan put the box on the coffee table and sat up straight out of habit.
"I'm very sorry. Lanlan and I got our marriage certificate so suddenly that I didn't inform you in advance. It was my oversight. So, I came here today not only to meet you formally, but also to say sorry to you in person."
His attitude is sincere and genuine enough.
Mr. Liang didn't know when he put down the ancient book, and looked at the young man in front of him with his eyes slightly narrowed.
As the president of the Medical Association, he was used to seeing all kinds of people.
He stared at Shen Xichuan, “Can I ask why you chose to marry Xiaolan?”
Xu Jialan's heart tightened.
Shen Xichuan looked calm, and curled his lips slightly, “Of course it’s because I like it.”
After the words fell, everyone in the living room fell silent.
Xu Jialan's expression was full of surprise.
What is he talking about?!
Madam Liang glanced at the shocked Xu Jialan, then slowly turned her gaze to Shen Xichuan, “You said you like our Xiaolan? If I remember correctly, you were high school classmates?”
Shen Xichuan nodded, “Yes.”
Mrs. Liang smiled slightly. "Xiao Lan has been with us since high school, but I've never heard Xiao Lan say that you two have ever met. Why did you fall in love after just one blind date?"
Xu Jialan's breathing was slightly choked, and his heartbeat began to accelerate unconsciously.
She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mrs. Liang's eyes.
Liang Lao did not speak either, and waited quietly for Shen Xichuan’s answer.
Shen Xichuan paused before saying, “Because when I was in high school, I didn’t consider the issue of love, and it was not suitable at that stage, so there really wasn’t a deep intersection between us.”
Xu Jialan sat beside him and slowly clenched his hands.
The man continued, "When we met again, the circumstances were rather special. When I saw Lan Lan in the laboratory, I didn't know how to describe my feelings, but the only thing that is certain is that she is special to me."
Mr. Liang looked at him, "Just because of this? You married her?"
"Of course not."
Shen Xichuan looked gentle and smiled calmly, “I admit that the relationship between us is not as deep as that between Master and Master’s Wife, but I am indeed moved by Lan Lan.”
Xu Jialan was stunned.
Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang looked at him without saying anything.
Shen Xichuan said again, word by word, "I am a firefighter. I use my life and loyalty to protect the safety of the people. I also promise you that I will use my life to protect Lan Lan and use my loyalty to protect our marriage."
His eyes were firm and his tone was serious.
An aura of righteousness emanated from him.
Shen Xichuan didn’t use too many flowery words.
Because this heavy promise is more effective than any sweet words.
Xu Jialan could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
She clenched her hands and said nothing.
At this time, she finally understood why she agreed to marry Shen Xichuan after meeting him a few times after reuniting with him.
Because, if you have fallen in love once, you will always fall in love with him countless times.
These three words, Shen Xichuan, represent Xu Jialan’s youth.
It was a star that suddenly lit up in the silent night.
…
In the end, the two valuable gifts were accepted by Mr. Liang and his companions.
This also means that they recognize Shen Xichuan.
On the way back.
It was still Shen Xichuan who was driving the car.
Xu Jialan's eyes always fell on him from time to time.
She didn't dare look too obviously.
But how could Shen Xichuan not notice it.
He didn't open the car window, his hands lazily rested on the steering wheel, his eyes looking at the road ahead, his tone somewhat soft.
"I've been looking all the way. Have you spotted any flowers?"
Xu Jialan was silent for a moment, then simply tilted his head to look at him.
"What you just said to Master and the others was..."
She wanted to ask, were those words true?
Is he really attracted to her?
There are countless questions lingering in my mind that I want to ask.
But the words were on the tip of my tongue, but I didn't know how to continue.
Shen Xichuan didn’t seem surprised at all that she would ask.
He tilted his head to glance at her, with the familiar smile still on his lips, three parts ruffian, four parts gentle, and three parts mysterious.
"This?"
Xu Jialan's heart lifted slightly and he stared at him.
The man chuckled, "Then you'll need to feel it yourself, Lanlan."
Xu Jialan: “?”
Shen Xichuan smiled but said nothing.
…
10:30 pm, Xinghu Bay.
The two walked into the apartment one after the other.
Xu Jialan suddenly felt exhausted.
She yawned lazily, took out her slippers, and was about to casually kick off her high heels.
She suddenly stopped.
The strong scent of masculine hormones enveloped her from behind.
It also reminded her that from today on, she would live with Shen Xichuan.
Seeing this, Xu Jialan slowed down his movements a lot.
She grabbed the shoe cabinet beside her, lifted her feet, and manually took off her high heels.
Shen Xichuan behind her has been paying attention to her movements.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a chuckle escaping his throat.
Xu Jialan suddenly stopped moving, "?"
The man suddenly squatted down, put another lady's slipper at her feet, and then picked up her other foot.
"Hold on tight."
Xu Jialan subconsciously grabbed the shoe cabinet.
Shen Xichuan held her ankle, took off her high heels, and then put her feet down.
Xu Jialan stepped on his slippers a little helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The man took out his own pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on.
When he saw she didn't move, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Anything else to change?"
Xu Jialan's breath was caught, and he spoke subconsciously, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"No."
After saying that, she grabbed her bag, turned around and went back to the bedroom.
Looking at her running back, the man curled his lips slightly but did not chase her.
