Jiang Susu looked at the snack street and felt a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness. When she was a child, she loved to come to this place with Shen Shiyan, but she rarely came after she grew up.
Seeing Jiang Susu in a daze, Shang Yanxing couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
"No, it's just that I haven't been here in a long time, and I miss it a bit."
"Then let's relax and have some fun today."
Jiang Susu nodded and hummed in agreement.
Then Shang Yanxing took Jiang Susu around to stroll around. Whenever Jiang Susu's eyes lingered on something, Shang Yanxing would buy it.
Shang Yanxing, holding a skewer of grilled meat, handed it to Jiang Susu, saying, "I noticed you've been eyeing it for quite a while, why aren't you buying any?"
Before Jiang Susu could explain, Shang Yanxing continued, "Don't be stingy with money. My money is meant for my wife. Don't be reluctant to spend it. Besides, if Grandpa finds out I'm being stingy, he'll scold me again."
Grandpa Shang had been longing for a granddaughter-in-law like he was waiting for the stars and the moon. If he knew how he was treating Jiang Susu, he would definitely give him a good scolding.
“I am not your Mrs. Shang. I am just a figurehead now.”
"As long as we're not divorced, you're my Mrs. Shang. Don't say things like that again, or you'll be held responsible if it gets out."
Jiang Susu opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
"Don't be stingy with my money. You have that right now, so spend it as much as you want. Acting needs to be a little more authentic, right? Otherwise, what will you do in the future? Will you always be this polite to me? If you do, you'll be found out sooner or later. So, get used to this role."
Shang Yanxing knew that Jiang Susu might not be able to adapt for a while, so he didn't blame her.
"Then... then we'll do it your way." Shang Yan was right. They would be together for at least three years, so they needed to get used to this identity, otherwise it would be easy for them to be exposed.
Seeing Jiang Susu agree, Shang Yanxing's lips curled into a smile.
Because of Shang Yanxing's words, Jiang Susu became less restrained and let Shang Yanxing buy whatever she wanted to eat.
Jiang Susu walked ahead, while Shang Yanxing followed behind her, paying for her and carrying her things.
After shopping, Jiang Susu was full and felt much happier.
"How are you feeling? Are you happier now?"
Jiang Susu smiled and nodded, "Yes, I feel very happy now. All those bad feelings seem to have disappeared. Thank you, Shang Yanxing."
Shang Yanxing reached out and patted her head gently, saying, "You're welcome, Mrs. Shang."
"Then let's go back to my house first. Even after we get married, we'll still live together. In a few days, we'll go back to the old house and I'll take you to see Grandpa."
Now that they've registered their marriage, they'll definitely be living together, so Jiang Susu didn't ask any more questions and agreed.
Just as the two were about to get into the car, they encountered Shen Shiyan.
Shen Shiyan looked at Shang Yanxing with hostility, "Su Su, why are you always hanging out with this man these days?"
Jiang Susu had always loved to cling to him, following him around no matter what he did. But these past two days, she seemed like a different person, even appearing to be avoiding him.
“Mr. Shen, this is my husband. We are married now, and this is not some kind of affair. Please have some self-respect and do not be rude to my husband.”
Shen Shiyan frowned and looked at Jiang Susu, saying, "Mr. Shen, didn't you used to call me Brother Shiyan? Why are you suddenly calling me that now? Did I do something to offend you?"
Shen Shiyan felt that Jiang Susu was acting strangely. She had never treated him like this before, always being cold and indifferent towards him.
He himself didn't know what he had done wrong, let alone how he had offended her.
“You said it yourself, it was in the past. I used to call you Brother Shiyan because our parents were good friends. But now I’m all grown up, and I should keep some distance from the opposite sex. Otherwise, my husband will be unhappy.”
After speaking, Jiang Susu glanced at Shang Yanxing with affection, and Shang Yanxing returned the smile to Jiang Susu.
The two seemed extremely affectionate, which made Shen Shiyan feel very uncomfortable.
"You two have only known each other for a few days, and you're already going to marry this man? Su Su, if you have something on your mind, just say it directly, okay? Don't be so cold to me."
Jiang Susu ruthlessly shook off Shen Shiyan's hand. "I have nothing to say, so don't bother me anymore. Yanxing and I just got our marriage certificate, and your constant interruptions make me very unhappy."
Before Shen Shiyan could answer, Jiang Susu pulled Shang Yanxing away.
Inside the car.
Seeing that Jiang Susu's expression was a bit off, Shang Yanxing couldn't help but ask, "Chen Shiyan seems to like you? Why are you so cold to him?"
He didn't know what the two people were arguing about.
But he could tell that Shen Shiyan cared about Jiang Susu.
Jiang Susu chuckled lightly, "Like me? How could Shen Shiyan possibly like me? We're just friends, there's nothing more to our relationship."
"Then why are you so cold to him?"
Jiang Susu's attitude was clearly agitated; if the two were friends, they would never have acted this way.
Jiang Susu looked at Shang Yanxing, then smiled and said, "Because he was rude to you that day, right? I just couldn't stand him treating you like that. Today I finally got revenge for you."
Shang Yanxing: "..."
He could tell that Jiang Susu wasn't very willing to talk about it, so Shang Yanxing didn't press her further.
"Then thank you so much, Mrs. Shang, for protecting me."
Then, Shang Yanxing took Jiang Susu home.
Jiang Susu arrived at the merchant's shop.
Shang Yanxing then led her to her room. "This is the room arranged for you. You will be living here from now on. If you need anything, just tell Uncle Wang. Don't be shy. Besides, you are now the mistress of this house, so you should act like one."
Shang Yanxing looked around and whispered in Jiang Susu's ear, "Otherwise, someone will report us."
Jiang Susu nodded in agreement.
The room was large, and its style was similar to that of the Jiang family home—gentle and cozy.
"Okay, so where do you live?"
Shang Yanxing said in a serious tone, "We are already husband and wife, so of course I will live in the same room as you."
"Huh? We...are sharing a room?"
Seeing Jiang Susu's strong reaction, Shang Yanxing stopped teasing her. "Just kidding. My room is right next to yours. It's very close. You can call me anytime if you need anything."
