Chapter 26: Consideration
Yuan Lingling took a nap. She didn't know how she fell asleep, and when she woke up it seemed dark again.
The moment she opened her eyes, a faint fragrance came to her nose.
The taste of spicy and sour fish.
No need to guess, it must have been done by Shen Caisheng again.
Yuan Lingling swallowed and wanted to sit down at the dining table immediately, but she stopped as soon as she got off the kang.
Shen Caisheng is a really unpredictable person. Doesn’t he not believe in himself? Then why is he so nice to me?
Could it be that he is not eating the food he prepared, and wants to punish himself with the taste of the food?
The predicament did not disappear after a good night's sleep, and Yuan Lingling couldn't help but sigh.
When Shen Caisheng stood at the door, he saw Yuan Lingling's dejected look. He coughed lightly and said, "It's time to eat."
Yuan Lingling stood up suddenly, "Ah... it's coming."
She was like a puppet. She went out, washed her hands, and returned to the living room. Her mind was still in a daze until she sat down at the table.
Two villains are fighting. One villain tells her to tell the truth quickly, because she will be in big trouble if she is caught lying. The other villain tells her that the best thing to do is to run away quickly.
"I see that you like spicy food, so I learned how to cook this dish. You can try it." Shen Caisheng naturally picked up a large piece of fish for Yuan Lingling with the chopsticks he had never used.
Yuan Lingling was flattered and hurriedly took the bowl with both hands, "Thank...thank you very much."
What happened during the time she was sleeping? Did Shen Caisheng take the wrong medicine?
Yuan Lingling trembled as she picked up the chopsticks and put the fish into her mouth. Then she heard Shen Caisheng say, "The child is mine, right?"
Hearing his sudden question, Yuan Lingling forced herself to swallow a piece of fish. Then she opened her eyes and started coughing violently, "Cough cough cough..."
"Are you okay? Is it stuck?" Shen Caisheng hurriedly handed her some water.
Yuan Lingling gulped down a few gulps of the liquid, her eyes turned red. When she came to her senses, she looked so pitiful.
"Are you feeling better? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Yuan Lingling saw that his concerned expression didn't seem fake, so she took another sip of water and shook her head, "No, I just choked."
Shen Caisheng was relieved after hearing her say that. He said to himself, "Is it too spicy?"
"No, it was my own carelessness." Yuan Lingling felt as if he was urging her to answer. She opened her wet eyes and looked at Shen Caisheng with some resentment.
She looked so pitiful and cried, which made Shen Caisheng feel that he had made a huge mistake. He seemed to need to say something, but he couldn't find any words for a long time, for fear that he might accidentally upset her.
Yuan Lingling quickly adjusted herself and asked, "How did you figure it out? Didn't you think the child was from the Xie family?"
She couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Sometimes it's Xie Guanglian's, sometimes it's Xie Guangan's. Anyway, there are two of them. Just give them one each, so they don't have to fight over it..."
"No!" Shen Caisheng stood up excitedly.
His stern face was really intimidating, but it was obviously not her fault. Yuan Lingling didn't want to give in. She grumbled aggrievedly, "You're still mean to me."
Shen Caisheng was embarrassed and sat back down, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Yuan Lingling didn't say anything and continued to eat fish. She had to say that the dishes on the table today were more delicious than what she had eaten before.
Bright red pickled peppers and some pickled radish shreds were soaked in the fish soup. Even without fish, Yuan Lingling could still eat two more bowls of rice.
A ruthless person, he is ruthless no matter what he does. Shen Caisheng's cooking skills are really improving every time. Where did he find this master? She also wants to learn.
But now was obviously not the time to talk about this. Yuan Lingling ate a few chopsticks to ease the embarrassment a little before speaking, "What are you going to do?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Caisheng suddenly had an idea. Even though Yuan Lingling didn't point it out clearly, he immediately understood what the other party meant.
He put down his chopsticks, sat upright, and stared at Yuan Lingling. "Can we not get a divorce?" he asked.
This time, Yuan Lingling's eyes did not avoid him, and her heart finally died.
Sure enough, after knowing that she was pregnant, Shen Caisheng didn't want to let her go.
As she ate her fish, she thought about the various possibilities of how things could develop.
To be honest, as far as their current relationship was concerned, apart from the fact that she was afraid that Shen Caisheng would suddenly go crazy, everything else was quite satisfactory to Yuan Lingling.
She never imagined such a comfortable married life in her later life.
But, he is Shen Caisheng.
Yuan Lingling used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the fish tail in the basin. She raised her eyes slightly and found that Shen Caisheng was still looking at her with burning eyes. Her hand shook and the tender fish meat fell off.
Shen Caisheng was very quick. He immediately took a pair of new chopsticks and helped Yuan Lingling pick up a piece of fish belly and put it in the bowl. "Eat this. The fish tail has a lot of bones."
"But I prefer eating fish tails." When saying this, Yuan Lingling felt as if she was targeting him, but she really liked eating fish tails more.
Although it has thorns, it is tender, smooth and tasty, making it hard not to love it.
Shen Caisheng paused for a moment, then helped her pick up the entire fish tail and put it into Yuan Lingling's bowl. "Then be careful of the thorns."
According to common sense, she should say at this moment that she doesn't want to eat the fish tail anymore, right?
But she didn't dare tease him, she nodded silently and said, "Thank you."
"Can you let me think about the divorce first?"
Shen Caisheng was silent for a long while before he hummed softly.
Yuan Lingling glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw that he had his eyes downcast, not knowing what he was thinking about. This made Yuan Lingling feel aggrieved, as if she had done something to let him down.
As usual, Shen Caisheng returned to his cold and silent appearance. Yuan Lingling didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything either. After dinner, he just cleaned the table obediently.
Yuan Lingling still followed to the kitchen to help, and Shen Caisheng didn't stop her, but the atmosphere was still weird.
She took the initiative to break the awkwardness, "My illness has been cured, when will I take Yuanyuan back home?"
"You..." Shen Caisheng held the bowl in one hand and the dishcloth in the other, and looked up at Yuan Lingling.
Yuan Lingling explained subconsciously, "I just thought that since it's your friend's child, it wouldn't be good to keep bothering others. I didn't mean anything else..." Yuan Lingling's voice became smaller and smaller.
Shen Caisheng hummed lightly and stopped talking, washing the dishes seriously.
Now Yuan Lingling spoke without being rude.
After a while, when he had put all the bowls in order, he turned around and said, "The monkey is almost well now and he misses his child too. I will let Yuanyuan go back. If you miss him, I can take you to see him."
As Shen Caisheng's wife, Yuan Lingling should have gone to see the monkey, but now... I'm afraid he might have misunderstood.
Yuan Lingling thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll go see him when I'm free."
The two of them had nothing more to say. Chen Caisheng wanted to stay in the guest room that night, and Yuan Lingling couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay. She was just lying on the kang, still wide awake.
What does Shen Caisheng mean when he says he doesn’t want a divorce?
Is it really just to give the child a home?
Could it be that he has a crush on me?
Yuan Lingling turned over and faced the wall. It was pitch black in front of her, but she still couldn't fall asleep.
What would he do if he took a fancy to me?
Wouldn't it be binding, forcing...
Yuan Lingling suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, but her movement was too big and she hit the wall.
"ah……"
She let out a soft cry, and a layer of mist instantly covered her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
There was a knock on the door, Shen Caisheng opened it and pulled the light cord.
"What's wrong……"
Chen Caisheng stood in front of the kang and looked at Yuan Lingling with misty eyes. He almost rushed over.
But even so, he just rushed in through the door, and Yuan Lingling's heart skipped a beat, "It's okay, I just... had a dream, and I accidentally hit my hand."
Shen Caisheng's eyes fell on her slender fingers, and he saw a red patch on them. "Does it hurt? Why are you always so careless?"
Yuan Lingling lowered her head and thought to herself, it’s all your fault.
Just as I was complaining, the light in front of me was shrouded by a shadow. "Stretch out your hand, let me see."
Yuan Lingling's fingertips trembled. "No... no need." She rubbed her hands together. "It doesn't hurt that much, it's just a little cold... and a little sleepy."
The method used to drive people away was really crude, even she thought so.
But Shen Caisheng didn't force him to stay and left quickly.
Yuan Lingling slept very uneasily that night. She felt very hot in the middle of the night. She woke up by a knock on the door and could vaguely hear noisy voices.
Yuan Lingling closed her eyes and listened carefully, and found that it was actually the voice of Aunt Yang from next door.
Aunt Yang is now familiar with her and knows that she is sleepy. She seldom comes to disturb her unless it is something important.
Yuan Lingling suddenly turned over and sat up from the kang, but she felt dizzy and almost fell down.
But the knocking on the door had not stopped, so Yuan Lingling had to quickly put on her clothes and go out.
"I'm coming, what's the matter?"
It wasn't snowing today, a rare day, so Yuan Lingling walked faster.
"Lingling, hurry up, something seems to have happened to your family's wealth, hurry up." As soon as Aunt Yang saw Yuan Lingling, she stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and helped her to lock the door.
Seeing her so anxious, Yuan Lingling's heart was pounding, "What's wrong, Aunt Yang?"
"Didn't your Chen Caisheng buy a tofu shop outside? I just heard that there was a fight over there. The shop was smashed for no apparent reason and someone was injured. Let's go over and take a look."
Her car was parked in front of the gate of her house. She took Yuan Lingling and left without waiting for her to ask anything.
The cold wind was blowing unscrupulously. Yuan Lingling was shivering in the back seat, not to mention Yang Ying who was sitting in the front seat, but she was riding very fast as if she was undecided.
Fortunately, the tofu shop was not far from the brewery and it only took a few minutes to get there.
At this moment, there were still a few people outside the tofu shop watching the fun. Through the crowd, Yuan Lingling saw Shen Caisheng in the shop.
He stood in the store with his hands on his hips, looking like a gangster. In front of him, Yang Xiaoxi sat at the table, crying silently.
Yuan Lingling frowned and followed Yang Ying in.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Yang Ying yelled.
Shen Caisheng raised his eyes and happened to meet Yuan Lingling's gaze.
