Shang Yanxing reached out and rubbed the back of Jiang Susu's head. "Hmm, Madam is so good."
Jiang Susu opened her two round eyes wide, looking at Shang Yanxing with a somewhat flattered expression.
Seeing Jiang Susu's expression, Shang Yanxing was still puzzled as to why she had that look. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"
A blush crept onto Jiang Susu's fair face, and her ears felt a little hot. She obediently shook her head, "It's nothing."
Shang Yanxing didn't ask any further questions. He straightened up, looked at the little woman in front of him, and said, "Does Madam like plush toys very much? If so, I can buy you some in the future."
We don't need the Doraemon plushies anymore; it's time to get some new ones.
That way, I can hold it while I sleep.
"I don't really like it. That Doraemon doll was a birthday gift from Shen Shiyan. Actually, you..." You didn't have to waste the money.
She liked the Doraemon doll not because of the doll itself, but simply because it was a gift from Shen Shiyan.
Therefore, Shang Yanxing didn't actually need to buy it for her.
Before Jiang Susu could finish speaking, Shang Yanxing interrupted her, "So, Madam doesn't like it because it wasn't given to her by Shen Shiyan?"
Shang Yanxing looked at Jiang Susu with a hint of grievance, trying to find the answer in her eyes.
Seeing Shang Yanxing's disappointment, Jiang Susu explained with some guilt, "I didn't mean that."
She doesn't even like Shen Shiyan anymore, so why would she care about these things?
Shang Yanxing questioned, "Then why doesn't Madam want the plush toy I gave you?" He also wanted the little girl to sleep with the plush toy he gave her.
Jiang Susu pouted helplessly and said, "I didn't mean I didn't want to..."
If he insists on giving it to her, she won't refuse.
"What did you mean by what you just said, Madam?"
Jiang Susu's mind raced as she tried to think of how to answer Shang Yanxing.
“What I mean is…” she paused for a moment to gather her emotions, then continued, “Actually, you don’t have to buy me a plush toy. You don’t have to waste the money.” Jiang Susu observed Shang Yanxing’s expression, afraid that she might anger the man again.
“This isn’t a waste of money. If I don’t buy you something, wouldn’t people think we don’t get along? Especially… if Mom and Dad find out, they’ll definitely be angry. You know they like you a lot and are afraid I won’t treat you well. They’ll suspect I’m neglecting you, right? So this money isn’t a waste, is it?”
How can buying a plush toy for your little girl be considered a waste of money?
Jiang Susu thought about it carefully, and what Shang Yanxing said seemed to make some sense.
If he buys her plush toys, it could indeed mislead his parents into thinking that the two of them have a very good relationship. That way, it's less likely that they'll find out.
Thinking about it, it seems reasonable.
"Then you can buy it. I'll put it in my room."
Shang Yanxing frowned slightly. Put it in the room? Why not put it on the bed?
Shang Yanxing seemed somewhat dissatisfied and suggested, "Put it on the bed so it can keep you company while you sleep."
Jiang Susu readily agreed to Shang Yanxing's request, "Okay, then put it on the bed."
Shang Yanxing raised his chin and replied, "Hmm." That's more like it.
Jiang Susu returned to her room and carefully put away all the things she had moved from Shen Shiyan's house.
Shang Yanxing was in the living room, looking at plush toys on a tablet.
He looked at them one by one, and when he saw a Doraemon doll, Shang Yanxing couldn't help but frown.
Now, whenever Doraemon is mentioned, he thinks of the Doraemon doll that Shen Shiyan gave to Jiang Susu.
Shang Yanxing swiped past it directly, passing over the Doraemon doll.
He doesn't buy Doraemon toys.
When Shang Yanxing saw a huge blue teddy bear toy, he stopped.
Those dark eyes stared intently at the toy doll, as if lost in deep thought.
This teddy bear is 1.6 meters long, almost as tall as a person.
If you were to pick it up, it should feel the same as holding a person.
Shang Yanxing nodded. The little girl should like it, right?
Holding this kind of plush toy should make her feel especially safe. If she doesn't like it, he can buy her other ones later.
Shang Yanxing nodded in satisfaction and decided to buy this one.
He will buy it for the little girl himself when the time comes.
Before dinner, Xu Ze finished reporting his work in Shang Yanxing's study and then said, "Young Master, Miss Qianqian said she wants to come over for dinner tonight."
Shang Yanxing nodded nonchalantly, then said in a very calm tone, "I understand."
Seeing Shang Yanxing's indifferent expression, Xu Ze reminded him, "Young Master, Miss Qianqian might stay here tonight. So, regarding your sleeping in a separate room from Madam..."
Shang Liqian had followed Shang Yanxing for a period of time when she was a child, and also lived in Shuixie Villa for a while. Shang Yanxing used to be very strict with her, so she has always held a grudge and especially likes to complain to Xie Wanjun.
Because she was afraid of Shang Yanxing, but only Xie Wanjun could control him.
So when Shang Liqian was bullied by Shang Yanxing, she liked to complain to Xie Wanjun.
Later, Shang Yanxing couldn't do anything about her.
So if Shang Liqian found out that the two of them were sleeping in separate rooms, wouldn't it reach Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou's ears?
"I understand. I will let Madam know when the time comes. Qianqian probably won't be staying here tonight either. She's all grown up now, and she doesn't like staying here with me."
After all, Shang Liqian had been punished quite a few times when she lived in Shuixie Villa.
Writing self-criticisms, kneeling in the ancestral hall, and being slapped on the palms—Shang Yanxing made her experience it all. As a result, no matter how mischievous Shang Liqian was, she dared not misbehave in front of Shang Yanxing.
“After Miss Qianqian stayed at the Waterside Villa once, she didn’t really like staying here anymore. But now that Madam is here, that might not be the case.”
Xu Ze thought to himself: How can anyone dare to stay here if I treat them like this?
"Let her be. If she likes it, she can stay here."
Although Shang Liqian was mischievous, she was, after all, his niece, so he didn't dislike her.
Seeing that Shang Yanxing seemed to have his own plans, Xu Ze didn't say anything more.
Their marriage was a business arrangement, and only they knew about it; Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou were unaware of it.
Therefore, Shang Yanxing probably won't let Shang Liqian know, otherwise, if she complains, neither of them will know how to explain themselves.
So he wasn't too worried, since his young master had his own plans.
