Chapter 190 You're Still So Domineering
Yuan Qing didn't know why his master wanted to turn back. However, judging from his master's expression, it seemed that something important had happened.
So Yuan Qing told the boatman to turn around.
Xie Yanzhi held the sachet in his hand, a slight stirring in his heart.
It was a bit dark last night, so he didn't look at the sachet closely. But when he took it out today, he noticed that the auspicious clouds embroidered on the sachet were the same as those on the purse, and both had a red dot at the end.
The person who embroidered this sachet must have been acquainted with Shen Qingnian.
He didn't know what he was thinking, but he just wanted to confirm it.
Perhaps his idea was absurd, but he still wanted to go and see.
Su's Spice Shop.
Shen Qingnian sat at the small table and searched for a while.
Seeing Shen Nuonuo standing to the side, she asked, "Nuonuo, have you seen the sachet that Mother put here?"
Shen Nuonuo sniffed and said, "I gave it away."
"Given away?" Shen Qingnian found it a bit strange.
The auspicious clouds on the sachet she embroidered for Nuonuo weren't even finished yet, so why did she give it away?
"Which playmate did you give it to? Go get it back, and Mom will finish embroidering the design before giving it to them."
When Shen Qingnian mentioned that the "I Miss You" sachet wasn't finished embroidering yet, Shen Nuonuo exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no!"
"I gave it to the uncle who helped me retrieve my kite that day."
Little did he know that his mother hadn't finished embroidering the sachet yet!
Shen Qingnian frowned and said, "The child's sachet is so small, doesn't Uncle mind?"
"I don't mind!"
A voice suddenly came from behind, and Shen Qingnian's body trembled.
"Uncle!" Shen Nuonuo waved happily to Xie Yanzhi.
"Mom, it's this uncle."
Although the voice sounded incredibly familiar, Shen Qingnian still harbored a sliver of hope.
Perhaps it's just a similar voice, and the person who comes might not actually be Xie Yanzhi. After all, it's been three years, and she's long dead in his heart.
She steadied herself and turned around.
But then she saw Xie Yanzhi's face right in front of her. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
Thank you for the banquet! It really is Xie Yanzhi!
But she quickly calmed down and told herself not to panic.
Anyway, Shen Qingnian is already dead; she's just someone who looks like Shen Qingnian.
Xie Yanzhi stared intently at Shen Qingnian, not missing the hint of panic in her eyes.
There was no need to say anything at the moment; he already knew that the person in front of him was her.
He felt a little nervous when he heard her voice and saw her back.
Now I finally see the face I've been longing for day and night.
A bitter feeling welled up in his heart, and his hands, which were behind his back, began to tremble involuntarily.
He kept staring at her, afraid that if he blinked, the person in front of him would become just a figment of his imagination again.
"Miss Qing!" Yuan Qing was overjoyed to see Shen Qingnian.
It's wonderful that Miss Qing is still alive!
Shen Qingnian clenched the handkerchief in her hand, feigning doubt, and said, "This young man has mistaken me for someone else."
"My name is Su Wu, but everyone calls me Lady Su."
As she spoke, she wore a polite smile, trying her best to appear as if nothing was amiss.
Hearing Shen Qingnian deny it, Yuan Qing became a little anxious and quickly said:
"Miss Qing, Ling'er has missed you very much these past three years, and she often cries at night."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Hearing Shen Qingnian's words of disassociating herself from them, Yuan Qing knew that Miss Qing did not intend to acknowledge the two of them.
He quickly glanced at Xie Yanzhi, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety.
But her master just stared at Miss Qing without saying a word.
Yuan Qing said urgently, "Master!"
Seeing Xie Yanzhi's tearful expression, Shen Qingnian turned to the waiter and said, "Fuxiang, come and greet the guests."
After saying that, he picked up Chen Nuonuo and carried her into the inner courtyard.
When Xie Yanzhi saw that Shen Qingnian was about to leave, he finally realized what was happening and reached out to stop her.
"Shen Qingnian!"
Xie Yanzhi almost gritted his teeth as he shouted those words in a deep voice.
Shen Qingnian looked at the arm in front of her and said angrily, "I told you, young master has mistaken me for someone else."
As he spoke, he pushed Xie Yanzhi's hand away.
"You really refuse to acknowledge me?" Xie Yanzhi asked in a deep voice.
This woman actually faked her death without telling him, causing him to have no joy for three years, his heart filled with guilt and longing for her.
He finally found her, but now she still refuses to acknowledge him?
Xie Yanzhi was not about to let her go so easily.
He glanced at the heavy glutinous rice ball in Shen Qingnian's hand.
Shen Qingnian noticed his gaze and hugged Shen Nuonuo even tighter.
"Madam Su, may I have a word with you in private?"
Shen Qingnian's heart sank when she saw Xie Yanzhi talking but his eyes never left the little person in her arms.
Is Xie Yanzhi threatening her?
She looked at Xie Yanzhi with a resentful gaze.
Xie Yanzhi recognized that look; Shen Qingnian always looked at him with that same gaze whenever she called him shameless.
But he didn't care; all he wanted was for her to talk to him properly.
Shen Nuonuo noticed that her mother's complexion was not good and called out worriedly, "Mother."
Shen Qingnian gently kissed his head and said tenderly, "Mother is fine. Nuonuo, go find Aunt Liu first. Mother will talk to Uncle and then come over."
With that, Shen Qingnian handed Shen Nuonuo to Fuxiang and asked him to take her to the backyard.
Shen Qingnian also knew that if she didn't explain things clearly, it would be difficult to quell Xie Yanzhi's anger.
Xie Yanzhi walked towards the carriage, and Shen Qingnian glanced in the direction of the courtyard before following Xie Yanzhi out.
Xie Yanzhi sat down first, and Yuan Qing lifted the curtain to wait for her to go in. Shen Qingnian turned her head and said, "I can sit outside."
"Come in!" Xie Yanzhi frowned when he saw Shen Qingnian say this, his hands clenched tightly, and a hint of anger was rising in his heart.
He finally found her, but she avoided him like the plague!
Shen Qingnian sat down on the stool next to her with a sense of helplessness.
Yuan Qing lowered the curtain and stood guard beside the carriage.
From the moment Shen Qingnian sat down, Xie Yanzhi's eyes never left her.
Shen Qingnian felt uneasy under his gaze and turned to look outside.
The next moment, Xie Yanzhi grabbed her and placed her on his lap.
Shen Qingnian trembled and struggled desperately.
"Let go!"
Xie Yanzhi held her tightly in his arms, refusing to let go no matter how hard she kicked or hit him.
He had wanted to hug her in the shop just now, so why would he let her go just because she struggled a few times?
Only now, when he held her in his arms and felt her struggle, did his repression and longing of the past three years finally find release.
"Xie Yanzhi, let go!" Shen Qingnian struggled desperately for a long time, but Xie Yanzhi still held her tightly.
In a fit of anger, she bit Xie Yanzhi's shoulder.
Xie Yanzhi frowned and let her bite him.
Shen Qingnian already tasted blood, but Xie Yanzhi still wouldn't let go.
She suddenly stopped struggling and let him hold her.
"You're still so domineering!" Shen Qingnian said slowly, her tone filled with helplessness and sarcasm.
"Never consider other people's wishes." Another sentence exploded in Xie Yanzhi's ears.
