Chapter 74 If you lose a hair, who will give me a wife as compensation?
On the way back to Xinghu Bay.
The words that Shen Xichuan said at the door of the convenience store have been lingering in Xu Jialan’s ears.
She looked at the receding scenery, somewhat lost in thought.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Shen Xichuan asked suddenly.
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "Anything is fine."
The man hummed, "Okay."
He took advantage of the red light to send a message.
Back home.
Shen Xichuan bent down, took out her slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at her feet.
Then he took off his slippers and changed them.
The movements are very natural.
It's like it's been done countless times.
Xu Jialan slowly put on the slippers he had brought.
As soon as Shen Xichuan put down the bag in his hand, the doorbell rang.
He went to open the door and came back with a big bag of things.
The packaging is quite exquisite.
Xu Jialan recognized that this was the restaurant where they had had their blind date before.
"Did you order takeout?"
Shen Xichuan came to the dining table with the takeaway and opened it.
He took the takeout out and glanced at her.
"Otherwise, why would I let you go out to eat like this?"
Xu Jialan was puzzled and walked over. "Is there anything wrong with me doing this?"
The man looked at her helplessly, "Others might suspect that I'm committing domestic violence."
Xu Jialan, with a red and swollen slap mark on his face, said: "......?!"
Not really...that's the case, right?
She watched Shen Xichuan opening the lunch box and wanted to go over to help.
"Go wash your hands, then come and eat."
Shen Xichuan didn’t let her help and sent her to wash her hands.
When Xu Jialan came out after washing his hands, the opened takeout lunch boxes were already on the dining table.
The dishes are all very light.
Xu Jialan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Is this all we're going to eat?"
The man served her a bowl of rice and placed it in front of her. "Your neck injury is still recovering, so it's not suitable for you to eat anything too heavy."
"What's more, someone was just beaten up, so it's really not suitable for him to eat anything that causes excessive heat."
Xu Jialan: "..."
The two ate quietly.
Shen Xichuan put some food in her bowl and suddenly said, “I heard that you met with the eldest brother a few days ago?”
Xu Jialan's expression paused.
She hummed softly, "Yes, we met once."
Shen Xichuan raised his eyes to look at her, "What did you say?"
After hearing these words, Xu Jialan didn't know why, but he always had a hunch that he already knew everything.
She was silent for a few seconds, and briefly stated the purpose of her sudden meeting with Shen Yankai.
Shen Xichuan picked up some more food for her, and said in a lazy tone, “It seems that you have learned your lesson and dare not lie to me anymore.”
Xu Jialan: "..."
Thinking of the things that Xu Jialan secretly cooperated with Captain Chen in investigating, Shen Xichuan's expression became a little serious.
"Your master didn't allow you to get involved in this case, but you intervened in private. Is it because this case is related to the Shen family?"
Xu Jialan knew that he was smart, and if he knew these things, he would definitely guess her motives.
Now, she was not surprised to hear this.
"When I saw the case file, I found that one of the hospitals was the one I had visited before. Later, Captain Chen discussed the case with me privately."
She paused, “When I removed the stitches that day, I saw Uncle Shen. His name was on the list of suspects Captain Chen gave me, so I was worried.”
“Then, you have been helping Captain Chen investigate privately, and even found Big Brother and told him the cause and effect of the matter.” Shen Xichuan looked at her and said.
Xu Jialan nodded, “Uncle Shen is from the Shen family. If he does something like this, it will definitely have an impact on the Shen family.”
"Do you really believe that the Shen family wouldn't do such a thing? Don't you have any doubts at all?"
Xu Jialan spoke without hesitation, "Of course I believe you, you are not that kind of person."
Shen Xichuan looked at her with deep and scorching eyes, a faint smile on his lips.
Xu Jialan's ears felt slightly hot.
She quickly explained, "What I mean is that the evidence that Captain Chen and his team found didn't find anything related to the Shen family, so... this matter has nothing to do with the Shen family."
Shen Xichuan’s thin lips curled up slightly.
The next second, his smile faded slightly, and he looked at her seriously with a serious expression, "This matter ends here with you."
Xu Jialan was startled, "Why?"
Shen Xichuan glanced at the obvious palm print on her cheek.
"You've been beaten up for helping the Shen family. Do you still want to continue?"
"But the person behind the scenes hasn't..."
turn up.
Before she finished speaking, Shen Xichuan interrupted her, “Let the police investigate the case, and my eldest brother will cooperate with them. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, he will be found out.”
"But you can't take any more risks," he whispered.
Xu Jialan sat opposite him, staring at him in a daze.
The man looked at her confused look and chuckled softly.
"Xu Jialan, why are you so stupid?"
His tone was full of helplessness.
Xu Jialan: “?”
He smiled, "If you lose a hair, who will give me a wife as compensation?"
“……?”
These words shocked Xu Jialan so much that his face turned red visibly.
The man sat lazily, his elbows casually resting on the edge of the table, the smile on his face dazzling in the warm yellow light.
"You have to remember, as long as I'm here, you won't get into any dangerous situations, understand?"
Shen Xichuan's words carried a domineering tone that was unique to his style.
It cannot be refused, and there is no reason to refuse.
Xu Jialan tightened his grip on the chopsticks and hummed softly, "I understand."
The man stared at her for a moment, then curled his lips in satisfaction.
He picked up the chopsticks, picked up some food for her, and then said slowly, "If you don't do it, then wait for me to teach you a lesson."
For some reason, Xu Jialan always felt like he was scaring a child when he heard what he said.
A faint smile played on her lips. "How do you teach me a lesson?"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Xichuan suddenly raised his head and looked at her.
That gaze was extremely hot and deep.
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "What...what happened?"
Shen Xichuan clicked his tongue and retracted his gaze, “Nothing, I just think that you might not want to know the answer.”
Xu Jialan looked confused, "What?"
The man paused for a few seconds, his eyes filled with burning passion that seemed to burn people.
He drawled, somewhat slowly, "How else do you think a husband can teach his wife a lesson?"
Xu Jialan's mind suddenly went blank.
