"I know, you little rascal, why are you still nagging?" He felt that Shang Liqian seemed even more anxious than he was.
"Uncle, my dad and mom got together when he was twenty. My mom was already pregnant with me then. Look at you, you're already twenty-five and you're only now getting married to your aunt. In a few more years you'll be thirty. If you don't keep your aunt, you'll be a bachelor forever."
Nobody wants a 30-year-old man.
Shang Yanxing's face immediately darkened. "You should just focus on your studies. You don't need to worry about my affairs."
A little girl who always likes to meddle in adults' affairs.
After saying so much, Shang Liqian didn't bother Shang Yanxing any further. "Alright, Uncle, as long as you know your limits. I'll go back after lunch; I have to go back to school tomorrow."
She just comes over for the weekend; she still has to go back to school.
Shang Yanxing nodded. "Yes, go back to school and study hard."
He can also have two days of peace and quiet.
"Then you go ahead with your work, Uncle. I'm going downstairs."
After Shang Liqian left, Shang Yanxing put away the diary and returned to his work.
After lunch, Shang Liqian went back to the old house.
Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou doted on their granddaughter Shang Liqian, so Shang Liqian lived with them since she was a child.
Now that she's grown up and gotten used to it, she hasn't gone back to her own home. Instead, she continues to live in the old house with Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou.
Seeing Shang Liqian return, Xie Wanjun asked with concern, "Qianqian is back. How was your time at your uncle's house?"
Shang Liqian stood beside Xie Wanjun and said, "Grandma, I've had a lot of fun these past two days. With Auntie here, Shuixie Manor finally feels more human. It's much more interesting than before."
Unlike before, when Shang Yanxing hadn't married Jiang Susu, Shuixie Villa was like a cold, impersonal palace, devoid of any human warmth.
Speaking of Jiang Susu, Xie Wanjun suddenly asked, "How is the relationship between your uncle and your aunt?"
Shang Liqian thought for a moment and said, "Uncle and Aunt have a good relationship. However, Aunt seems to have had a very good relationship with that eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Shiyan, before. Moreover, he came to Shuixie Villa to see Aunt this morning, but fortunately, Uncle chased him away in time." She was there at the time and was startled by Shen Shiyan.
"Su Su and the eldest son of the Shen family?" She did know that Shen Shiyan and Jiang Su Su had a good relationship, but she had never heard the Shen family mention their relationship.
Moreover, Shen Shiyan himself had never mentioned it to anyone else.
They were childhood sweethearts, so she assumed they were just friends.
"Yes, Auntie has liked Shen Shiyan for six years, but Shen Shiyan didn't seem to know before. So now that Auntie has married Uncle, Shen Shiyan regrets it and has come back to find Auntie."
Xie Wanjun looked worried. "This... Su Su won't abandon your uncle, will she?" After all, he had liked him for six years. How could he just stop liking him like that?
Could it be that she married Shen Shiyan, this foolish son, out of spite?
Shang Liqian said confidently, "Grandma, don't worry, it won't happen. Uncle still likes Aunt very much. Besides, they're married now, how could Aunt like someone else?"
Actually, she was a little worried, but she didn't say anything unlucky in front of Xie Wanjun.
To avoid worrying the elderly.
Although Shang Liqian said that, Xie Wanjun didn't think so. "Qianqian, you can still get a divorce after marriage. If someone doesn't love you, you can't keep them no matter what. I'm just afraid that brat won't be able to keep Susu."
She is very satisfied with her current daughter-in-law, so she does not want Shang Yanxing to marry someone else in the future.
"Grandma, you're overthinking it. How could that be? How could my aunt be that kind of person? If she really didn't love me, she wouldn't have gotten married in the first place."
Xie Wanjun didn't listen to Shang Liqian's words, but instead instructed, "Qianqian, if you have time, you can go to Shuixie Villa often to play. Keep an eye on that brat for me, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
They don't live together, so if the couple has any conflicts, they wouldn't know.
Besides, that brat has never been in a relationship. If he acts impulsively, he might scare his future daughter-in-law away.
"Okay, Grandma, I'll go visit when I have time."
Xie Wanjun also instructed, "Don't tell your uncle before you go there, I'm afraid they'll put on a show for you."
If we tell them in advance, wouldn't that just let them prepare in advance?
That won't work.
"Oh? Grandma, is this really necessary?"
"Of course it's necessary. Your uncle is very cunning. If we don't catch him off guard, he might be hiding something from us without us even knowing."
She knows her son best; he's very smart.
Although Shang Liqian felt it was inappropriate, she thought Xie Wanjun meant well, so she agreed, "Okay, Grandma, I understand."
After all, this is a mother's concern for her son, and it's a well-intentioned act.
If there's really nothing wrong, there's nothing to worry about.
Waterside Villa.
That evening, Jiang Susu had just finished showering and was preparing to go back to her room to sleep.
But somehow, he walked into Shang Yanxing's room.
As soon as she opened the door, Jiang Susu saw Shang Yanxing drying his hair and getting ready to go to sleep.
Shang Yanxing looked up, and the two locked eyes.
Shang Yanxing was wearing a bathrobe, revealing a muscular chest. A few crystal-clear water droplets hung from his neck, and some playful droplets accidentally slid down into his chest.
Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment, her two grape-like eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously swallowed.
Seeing that Jiang Susu remained silent, Shang Yanxing asked, "Did Madam want to see me about something?"
Jiang Susu finally came to her senses. "I...I went into the wrong room." She had no idea what she was thinking or how she ended up in Shang Yanxing's room.
Shang Yanxing chuckled lightly, deliberately teasing, "So, Madam came here to sleep with me?"
After Shang Yanxing said that, Jiang Susu felt even more embarrassed. "I...I'm...I'm sorry."
After saying that, Jiang Susu fled in panic.
Watching Jiang Susu's retreating figure, Shang Yanxing curled his lips and muttered to himself, "Madam is really adorable."
However, he doesn't know when he will be able to openly share a room with the girl he likes.
Jiang Susu returned to her room, closed the door, and was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
How did she end up in Shang Yanxing's room? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a female hooligan.
Will Shang Yanxing misunderstand her? If he misunderstands that she has feelings for him, that would be troublesome.
