Chapter 46 I hope my wife will be safe forever
After teasing her for a while, Shen Wangshu stopped and said with a smile: "It was just a joke. Nian Nian of course knows that my husband came back early today just for me. I am very happy."
She was so cute and adorable when she spoke in a long and soft voice. Chen Ting was reluctant to be awkward with her. His mood improved visibly. He even took the initiative to grab her little hand and knead it gently. There was a little hesitation in his calm eyes: "I want to stay with you for a while tonight."
Shen Wangshu felt strange. Why did they add the word "想" in this sentence? Could it be possible that he would suddenly leave for something else?
Chen Ting was still wearing the dark clothes he had just worn when he came back from work. Although she looked thinner standing next to him, it didn't match her. A lady who has dressed up carefully always hopes that her partner can also dress up a little.
So at the young lady’s strong request, Chen Ting went to change his clothes—also dark in color, to be honest, Shen Wangshu couldn’t tell the difference from the previous one, and only after a closer look did he realize that the cloud pattern on the new clothes was the same as on the hem of his skirt.
It can barely be considered a couple's outfit.
Dinner was not eaten in the mansion. Since Chen Ting was there, Shen Wangshu did not bring any maids with him and gave them all a day off to go out and play.
As the lights come on, thousands of houses are decorated with lanterns and it is as bright as day. Young ladies go out together with smiles on their faces, peddlers and hawkers come in an endless stream, and there are all kinds of wonderful performances on the streets that attract onlookers to stop and cheer from time to time.
Chen Wangshu hadn't left the house for a while. He was attracted by the bustling street scenes of Moyun City at night and couldn't take his eyes off them. He looked at this and that. The crowd was large and crowded. Chen Ting held his wife's hand tightly, fearing that she would get lost.
Shen Wangshu observed and picked a beef noodle restaurant on the roadside. This restaurant had many diners and the environment looked clean. She pulled Chen Ting to sit in the shed outside the restaurant. Seeing that she was still reluctant to leave the acrobatic performance just now, the latter asked, "Aren't you going to watch it anymore?"
Shen Wangshu said: "My husband came back in a hurry tonight, he must not have had time to eat, and he will not eat after dinner."
Chen Ting was somewhat touched, noticing that the man's eyes were glued to him. Shen Wangshu looked back in confusion, and heard him thinking, "A Nian actually remembered that I hadn't eaten yet, how thoughtful."
"She loves me so much."
Shen Wangshu: “…” Ah, right, right.
The two ordered two bowls of beef noodles, one large and one small, and specifically asked Chen Ting to add more meat that night. Shen Wangshu paid one or two taels of silver, and the boss happily piled the meat in the two bowls into a small mountain.
"Thank you, ma'am." Chen Ting thanked her solemnly, then remembered that he had collected many treasures and seemed to have given nothing to his wife. So her money should all be from her monthly salary and his dowry, and he suddenly felt guilty.
Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to go out today, and I didn't bring my purse with me for my new clothes. So my wife has to pay for everything tonight, which is really wrong.
Chen Ting thought that he had basically no need to spend money on a daily basis, so he forgot that his wife was still a young girl. Chen Zhi, for example, spent a lot of money every month, and his aunt often criticized her - Anian had been married for so long, how could he ignore her needs.
He thought with regret that after this special period of the month was over, he would give all his assets to Anian and she could spend them however she wanted.
Shen Wangshu has a small appetite, and the smallest bowl of beef noodles is bigger than her head. The noodles are chewy and smooth, and the soup is rich and fragrant. The boss gave her large pieces of beef. She tried hard to eat it, but there was still a lot left. If she ate more, her stomach would hurt, so she had no choice but to ask for help: "Husband, I can't finish it."
Chen Ting had just finished his noodles. Upon hearing this, he naturally took the young lady's bowl and ate up the remaining rice.
"I'd better not eat out next time." Shen Wangshu said frustratedly, "Otherwise it's always a waste."
"Eat whatever you want, I'll take care of the rest." Chen Ting couldn't help but touch her slightly bulging belly. He was a little curious. It was so full with just such a small amount of food. The lady's appetite was really too small.
After eating and drinking, I was in a better mood for shopping. It was Shen Wangshu's first time to participate in the ancient Valentine's Day. The atmosphere of the Qixi Lantern Festival was very strong, especially when young couples walked side by side, the sweet bubbles were almost overflowing.
The street vendors included people from the Central Plains and foreigners with green eyes and curly hair. Shen Wangshu couldn't move when he passed a stall selling Persian cats. The kittens had heterochromia and curly hair, and their eyes were as clear as amber crystal. They would even reach out to ask for a hug, which was so adorable.
Shen Wangshu wanted this, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Ting standing eight meters away, holding his nose, and sneezing one after another.
Allergy to cat hair, the experienced Dr. Shen immediately noticed it, the symptoms were still severe even though he was so far away...it seemed like there was no way to reconcile it.
She looked at the kitten with regret for the last time, then turned and left the stall.
"You like that raccoon." Chen Ting sniffed and asked, "Why don't you buy it?"
"Who said that? I don't like it." Shen Wangshu took out a handkerchief that he didn't like so much and wiped it for him: "Besides, it's not like you have to buy it just because you like it. I like so many things, can I take them all home?"
Chen Ting held the soft and fragrant handkerchief in his hand without saying a word, but he refuted her in his heart. It was obvious that the lady liked him very much just now, and the love in her eyes was about to overflow.
It must be because of him that I changed my words and said I didn’t like it.
...What should I do? I’m moved again.
Chen Ting decided to secretly return later and take the cat home as a gift to his wife.
Shen Wangshu was not interested in the various lanterns hanging on the wall, but he particularly liked the small river lanterns. It was a very romantic thing to watch the river lanterns carrying wishes gather together and then drift away.
She bought two from an old man selling river lanterns on the roadside and placed the small one in Chen Ting's palm. Shen Wangshu glanced at another couple who were releasing lanterns and urged the dazed Chen Ting: "Don't just stand there, husband. Write something."
"Write something... What should I write? This kind of lamp will be destroyed by other things floating in the river tomorrow." Chen Ting said honestly: "It won't last long."
The beauty glared at this wooden man who didn't understand romance: "Write down your wishes, such as peace and prosperity, and hope that the river god will bless us."
Shen Wangshu has traveled through time. If someone told her that the river god was real, she would also become superstitious. Besides, it would be so romantic to light small lanterns together.
"If you have any wishes, you can ask me to help you realize them. There should be no river gods in this world..." Before Chen Ting could finish his words, a slender and white index finger blocked his lips. He then met the young lady's angry eyes and immediately stopped talking. He said seriously, "I hope that the lady will be safe for the rest of her life."
