Is marriage really that appealing?
He doesn't believe it!
Despite thinking this in her heart, she still agreed with his opinion outwardly, "Third Brother, it seems that it really is as you said, that you married the girl you like, which is why you've changed so much." Otherwise, how could she suddenly become love-struck?
Shang Yanxing looked at Jiang Susu with deep affection and tidied the stray hairs behind her ear. "Being able to marry Susu is a blessing I earned in my past life."
Jiang Susu met Shang Yanxing's gaze and listened to what he was saying. It was clearly just acting, so why did he sound so serious?
She seemed somewhat moved?
However, she's not a love-struck fool; she can distinguish between acting and reality, and she can't let the role become real.
It wouldn't be good if they started to take advantage of us.
Looking at Shang Yanxing's affectionate expression, Gu Xichen was also somewhat moved. "Third brother and sister-in-law will definitely be very happy in the future."
Jiang Susu simply smiled and nodded, responding to Shang Yanxing in agreement.
A dozen minutes later, Lin Musheng arrived at the Waterside Villa.
Upon seeing Jiang Susu, the two embraced.
When Gu Xichen saw Lin Musheng, he was momentarily stunned.
Lin Musheng wore a light blue cheongsam and had two cute braids. She looked petite and gave off a feeling that easily aroused people's protective instincts.
Lin Musheng greeted Shang Yanxing, "Hello, Mr. Shang."
Shang Yanxing nodded and said, "Su Su's friends are my friends too, so there's no need to be so polite in the future. If you miss Su Su, you can come to Shuixie Villa anytime. Su Su is lonely by herself, so it would be good for you to come and keep her company more often."
"Okay, then I'll come to Waterside Villa often to keep Su Su company from now on."
Shang Yanxing nodded in acknowledgment and said, "Sit down."
Lin Musheng sat next to Jiang Susu, while Shang Yanxing sat next to Jiang Susu.
As soon as Shang Yanxing sat down, he saw Gu Xichen's eyes staring intently at the young girl.
It wasn't until Shang Yanxing raised his wine glass, preparing to toast Gu Xichen, that Gu Xichen came to his senses.
Seeing Gu Xichen's infatuated expression, Shang Yanxing instantly understood what was going on.
Shang Yanxing deliberately asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you looking at it so intently?"
Gu Xichen smiled, took a sip of red wine, and said, "No, what are you saying, Third Brother? I was just spacing out for a while."
Shang Yanxing smiled but didn't expose him.
At noon, the four of them ate lunch together.
Jiang Susu and Shang Yanxing sat on one side, while Lin Musheng and Gu Xichen sat opposite them.
On the dinner table were many dishes that Jiang Susu liked to eat.
Shang Yanxing picked up a piece of fish from Jiang Susu's plate, saying, "Madam, please have a piece of fish. This fish is so fresh and tender; it's delicious."
Jiang Susu smiled and nodded. "Thank you."
How could he have known she liked to eat fish?
Is it just a coincidence?
When Gu Xichen saw Shang Yanxing serving food to Jiang Susu, he also served Lin Musheng a piece of fish.
"This fish looks delicious, have a taste."
Lin Musheng looked at the piece of fish that Gu Xichen had picked the bones out of for her, then glanced at Gu Xichen again, nodded shyly, and said, "Th...thank you."
Gu Xichen's gaze never left Lin Musheng. "You're welcome."
Jiang Susu frowned subconsciously when she saw this scene.
What's going on between those two? They only met today, but something feels off about them.
Seeing Jiang Susu's expression, Shang Yanxing called out to her, "Madam."
As soon as Jiang Susu turned around, she saw Shang Yanxing pick up a piece of fish and hold it to her lips.
Shang Yanxing held onto the piece of fish, saying, "Madam, open your mouth."
Jiang Susu had no choice but to obediently open her mouth and accept Shang Yanxing's feeding.
After the meal, Jiang Susu was fed a full stomach by Shang Yanxing.
I was so busy accepting Shang Yanxing's food that I didn't pay attention to Lin Musheng and Gu Xichen.
She always felt that something was off between the two of them.
After dinner, Lin Musheng and Gu Xichen left the Waterside Villa at the same time.
Jiang Susu looked thoughtful, which caught Shang Yanxing's attention.
"What's wrong, Madam? What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Susu pulled herself back to reality, looked at Shang Yanxing, and said, "Don't you think there's something strange about the two of them?"
I can't quite describe the feeling, but it just feels strange.
Shang Yanxing smiled, seemingly oblivious to the situation. "Strange? Why would Madam think that?"
At most, it's just that Gu Xichen has taken a liking to that girl.
It's nothing strange.
Jiang Susu frowned slightly and voiced her doubts directly, "I feel that Gu Xichen seems to like Mu Sheng."
This is the first time they've met. Could it be that Gu Xichen has fallen in love with Lin Musheng at first sight?
Hearing Jiang Susu's words, Shang Yanxing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "I thought it was something serious. Madam was making a big fuss just now, it startled me."
Shang Yanxing thought it was normal, but Jiang Susu didn't think so. "But they've only met for the first time."
"Madam, have you ever heard of love at first sight? Perhaps they hit it off the moment they met? What's wrong? What are you worried about, Madam?"
Jiang Susu opened her mouth, about to say something, when Shang Yanxing continued, "Or is it that Madam doesn't trust Gu Xichen?"
“I assure you, Madam, that although Gu Xichen has never been in a relationship, he is definitely not the kind of man who likes to play with other people’s feelings. If you trust me, Madam, you can let the two of them try to get to know each other.”
If the two of them got together, it might be a good thing.
This will be a good thing for the development of their relationship.
Jiang Susu pursed her lips and explained, "I didn't mean that. Gu Xichen is your good brother, and I can definitely trust his character. I'm just a little surprised; it feels like their relationship is developing too fast."
Although she disliked Shang Yanxing, she had to admit that Shang Yanxing was a pretty good person. And Gu Xichen was Shang Yanxing's best friend, so how bad could he be?
Shang Yanxing paused for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before saying, "What Madam says makes sense. It's better to let Mu Sheng be more careful. Even if they like each other, we can't let him have it too easily, otherwise he won't cherish it. So we still need to let Mu Sheng test him properly."
Otherwise, that guy would probably have shown off in front of him.
After all, he and Su Su weren't really together yet, so he couldn't let that guy show off in front of him.
"Should Mu Sheng test him?"
"Yes, we can't let him get her so easily. Mu Sheng is your good friend, you should also help her vet her. Although Gu Xichen is not bad, it doesn't necessarily mean that the two of them are a good match, right?"
He hasn't even won over the girl he likes yet, so he can't let that guy get away with it.
Jiang Susu nodded, somewhat agreeing with Shang Yanxing's words, "It seems to make a lot of sense."
