The next day, Shang Yanxing woke up very early. Looking at Jiang Susu, who was still asleep, he reached out and touched her forehead.
Thankfully, the fever has subsided, so it seems like I'm all better.
Jiang Susu also woke up because of Shang Yanxing's actions.
Before Shang Yanxing could withdraw his hand, Jiang Susu woke up.
Seeing that Jiang Susu had woken up, Shang Yanxing hurriedly withdrew his hand.
He hurriedly explained, "I...I just wanted to check if you still had a fever."
Jiang Susu just smiled at him, because the man looked like he had been caught doing something sneaky.
"Okay, thank you," Jiang Susu said simply.
The two got up and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Shang Liqian had already woken up and was waiting for the two of them.
Upon seeing Shang Yanxing, Shang Liqian hurriedly stood up. "Uncle... Aunt's illness is all my fault. I didn't take good care of her."
She didn't know if Shang Yanxing was angry, but if she apologized first, the man probably wouldn't be so angry, right?
Seeing Shang Liqian's reaction, Jiang Susu hurriedly explained, "This is not Qianqian's fault. She took very good care of me. Besides, she is so young, it was already very difficult for her to take care of me. You... you can't blame her."
Jiang Susu's voice grew softer and softer, perhaps because she was afraid.
"Sit down and eat. This isn't your fault." He hadn't intended to blame Shang Liqian in the first place.
I was just a little angry at the time, but not to the point of blaming her to her face.
"Thank you, Uncle." Shang Liqian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Shang Yanxing's words.
Shang Yanxing said to Jiang Susu, "Madam, please sit down and have breakfast together."
“Okay.” Jiang Susu nodded, then pulled out a chair and sat down next to Shang Yanxing.
The three of them were eating breakfast together, but the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"When does Qianqian plan to go back to the old house?" Shang Yanxing asked.
Shang Liqian, who had been drinking porridge with her head down, raised her head and looked at Shang Yanxing with some confusion, not understanding what he meant.
He glanced at Jiang Susu and then realized what was going on.
"Oh, I... I'll go back after breakfast. I was planning to go back a while ago, but you didn't come back then, so I was a little worried about my aunt and I stayed until today."
Xie Wanjun told her that Xie Qinglan was no longer at the old house.
So she should go back.
I was planning to go back this afternoon.
But after seeing Shang Yanxing's expression, she changed her mind.
It's really not appropriate for her to stay here with the two of them, so she thought it best to go back to the old house sooner rather than later, since Xie Qinglan has already left anyway.
"Are you going back so soon?" Shang Yanxing asked.
"Well, I've been gone for several days now, and my grandparents must miss me a lot, so I thought I'd go back as soon as possible. Also, it's not convenient for you and your aunt to be here, so I thought I'd go back soon."
She sensed something strange about this man. Shouldn't Shang Yanxing be happy that she was going back?
Otherwise, why ask her when she's going back? Isn't it because you want her to go back sooner?
She knew that her uncle valued women over loyalty.
"Okay, then let's go back early and spend more time with Grandpa and Grandma."
"Yes, I understand. Uncle and Aunt, you two should get along well so that Grandpa and Grandma can rest assured."
The thing Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou were most worried about was Shang Yanxing's marriage.
It was discovered some time ago that they were not a real couple, and Xie Wanjun still harbors resentment about it, fearing that they will one day separate.
Therefore, Shang Liqian also hopes that Shang Yanxing and Jiang Susu can stay together forever.
After breakfast, Shang Liqian left Shuixie Villa and returned to her old house.
Because he only returned yesterday, Shang Yanxing did not go to the company today.
Seeing Shang Yanxing working, Jiang Susu walked over.
Jiang Susu stood in front of Shang Yanxing, just looking at him without saying a word.
Shang Yanxing looked up from the computer and at the young woman in front of him, saying, "What's wrong, Madam? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Jiang Susu looked at Shang Yanxing and said, "Do you still stand by what you said yesterday?"
It was that phrase, "Be Mrs. Shang for the rest of your life," that made her feel like Shang Yanxing wasn't joking with her.
Since it's not a joke, then he must have fallen for her.
Shang Yanxing is a rather shy person, so since this man is too embarrassed to speak up, it's up to her to take the initiative.
"What does Madam mean?" Shang Yanxing was a little confused, not knowing which sentence Jiang Susu was referring to.
"It's that line, 'I'll be your Mrs. Shang for life.' Shang Yanxing, are you serious?"
They'd spent so much time together, and before she knew it, she felt she'd fallen for him.
Moreover, it seems that Shang Yanxing also has feelings for her.
So, if the two people like each other, why don't they get together?
She didn't want to miss out on Shang Yanxing.
Shang Yanxing looked up at Jiang Susu and was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Jiang Susu wanted to do by asking him.
Is he angry?
Jiang Susu looked at Shang Yanxing in a daze and said somewhat disappointedly, "Why aren't you saying anything? You could at least tell me what to do.
Since Shang Yanxing remained silent, she had no idea what his attitude was towards this matter.
“It’s true, everything I said last night is true. If you really can’t live without me, Madam, you might as well stay at Waterside Villa and be Mrs. Shang for life,” Shang Yanxing said again.
"Okay, then I'll think about it. How about I be your Mrs. Shang for life?" Jiang Susu answered very seriously, not at all like she was joking.
Shang Yanxing was somewhat confused. "What...what does Madam mean by that?"
This moment felt so unreal to him.
Jiang Susu sat on Shang Yanxing's lap, hooked his chin, and repeated her words, "I said, I'll think about it and be your Mrs. Shang for life."
Isn't that obvious enough?
Surely this man isn't that dense?
"Does Madam mean... that Madam likes me?" he asked cautiously, somewhat afraid that it wasn't true.
"Don't you like me? You're so good to me. You protect me when I'm bullied, you take good care of me, and you even drop everything to come back for me when I'm sick. Shang Yanxing, answer this question seriously: do you like me?"
She didn't believe that this man had no feelings for her, nor did she believe that Shang Yanxing was just pretending because they were married.
