Chapter 72 Seeing the Light
"Why is that?"
"I won't tell you."
Ning Yuan was not satisfied when she heard this. She deliberately slowed down and was led by him reluctantly.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that her originally plump lips were becoming more perky, and the soft flesh on her cheeks was slightly bulging, which was very cute.
He compromised and said softly: "Just hold the sleeve."
"...What?" Ning Yuan caught up a few steps, but didn't understand for a moment.
He had no choice but to easily take her hand and look into her eyes.
"Holding your sleeve is the next best option because of shyness."
"The fingers will struggle, but the wrist cannot." He said seriously.
I wonder if she has ever noticed that this is one of the few times when he takes the initiative to touch her, and she has never been able to resist.
This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. In her words, this is a kind of hidden coercion.
He can touch her pulse on her wrist and can clearly feel her slightly disordered heartbeat.
Just like now.
The sunset is for the two of them. Ning Yuan tried to struggle, only to find that her arms were almost motionless, and then she felt her face burning like a cloud in the sky.
Fortunately, the man did not completely ignore her embarrassment. , had already turned around and continued walking with her. At this time, Mrs. Shen
had already sat in the main seat in the main hall, with a beaming face. She glanced at her husband who was always serious, and nudged him, saying, "Smile quickly, don't scare the children."
His usually calm face immediately broke into an awkward smile.
In fact, before she said anything, if you looked carefully, you could see the joy in his eyes.
He felt from the bottom of his heart that his daughter-in-law was well-behaved and lovely, better than his son who only The unlucky son who knows how to talk back has become much more sensible.
Mrs. Shen was happy for a moment, but suddenly she became worried again: "Shen Yan said that Yuanyuan doesn't like crowded places. Will you scare her if you are here? Otherwise, you should go back first."
Old Master Shen said helplessly: "Mrs. , You have already politely turned away all the relatives who wanted to visit the bride, and now you want to drive me away too? "
"There are only four of us. The last time she came to our house, I thought she was very polite. You are driving me away. Let’s go, or someone might ask us more questions.”
"What should we do if she thinks you are a tyrannical and evil mother-in-law?"
Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right."
But after a moment, she reacted and said with a frown, "I think you think I am tyrannical and evil. "That's it?"
Just as her fingers were pinching his upper arm, she suddenly heard someone announce that Ning Yuan and Shen Yan had entered the front yard.
The two of them quickly restrained their movements and put on a kindly demeanor.
In a moment, , Ning Yuan and Shen Yan walked into the main hall together. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you. The two of them passed Shen Yan and looked at the beautiful and quiet girl at the same time.
It is undeniable that even in the capital city where there are so many beauties, Ning Yuan still has an incomparable beauty, and this beauty is not offensive. The simpler it is, the more people will love it.
But this is not the most important thing . Eye-catching.
The most eye-catching thing was the red mark on her neck.
Mrs. Shen was very moved, and felt relieved that the iron tree she had nurtured for twenty years had finally made rapid progress and learned to bloom on its own.
It seemed that he really liked Yuanyuan.
Otherwise, no one could force him to do this.
After entering the main hall, Shen Yan held her hand, Ning Yuan easily broke free, and then respectfully saluted the two.
Madam Shen hurriedly said: "Why do you have to be so polite? We are all family. You don't have to be so polite in the future."
In fact, Ning Yuan was very nervous all the way.
She knew that the Shen family was wealthy and powerful, and she was prepared for people to watch her and Shen Yan. After all, this was an indispensable etiquette for a bride to enter the family.
However, she never thought that she would meet no one along the way. There were only her parents in the main hall.
Her tension was relieved.
Thinking of the tea she had missed because she got up late, she looked around and said naturally, "Mother, where is the tea?"
"...Ah? "
Mrs. Shen didn't expect Ning Yuan to be so proactive. She was stunned for a moment and looked at her son standing beside her.
He had come to see her before getting married and talked about her life at home over the years, saying that she didn't feel any family love. Even if she marries into the mansion, don't set any rules or force her to change her ways immediately. Let her feel the warmth of her family first and then slowly adapt.
But she never thought that she would take the initiative to offer this tea.
Seeing that Shen Yan's expression was unchanged, Mrs. Shen was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the maid beside her to bring tea.
The maid came forward with a tray, and Ning Yuan raised her hand to take it. However, he said to Mr. Shen, "Father, please have some tea."
This father made him feel a completely different feeling.
His two children, each more opinionated than the other, had never been so gentle and well-behaved. I don't know how lucky Ning Guogong is to have such a daughter.
But such a gentle girl is still in Shen Yantou's arms, and she will live in Shen's mansion for a long time in the future.
So he is still more blessed. As expected
, A blessed father cannot keep a blessed daughter.
Ning Yuan respectfully handed tea to Madam Shen: "Mother, please have some tea."
Madam Shen responded happily, took the tea and took a sip. After putting down the teacup, she cleared her throat and rarely put on a hostly look. The mother said: "Yuanyuan."
Ning Yuan's impression of her was still that of her carefree personality. When she suddenly called her like that, she suddenly felt nervous.
Was she going to set rules for her?
She just said: " Shen Yan has a bad temper and doesn’t know how to talk. If he bullies you, just come and complain.”
“We are his parents, and we are definitely better at dealing with him than you are.”
…
Ning Yuan glanced at Shen Yan behind him . Yan.
He really has a bad temper and can't speak.
But he didn't seem to have done anything to her.
And today he was patient enough to explain to her, not sulking in secret and letting her guess.
But she still accepted Mrs. Shen's kindness and smiled sweetly, "Okay, mother."
Only one day after marrying into the Shen Mansion, Ning Yuan felt that this place was more like a home than the Ning Mansion where she had stayed for more than ten years.
After the banquet, Ning Yuan finally had a full meal and returned to the courtyard with Shen Yan.
The night always adds a bit of ambiguity to the candlelight. Ning Yuan sat on the couch, leaning against the soft pillow, and casually turned a page of the storybook, trying to make herself look leisurely so that he wouldn't see that she was nervous.
The room was quiet. She raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Shen Yan, but met his gaze.
"…Why are you peeking at me?"
"Miss Ning, if you don't peek at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
Because of her previous experience, she knew that she couldn't compete with him on this issue, so she jumped off the bed and said, "I'm going to take a bath."
He said "hmm" lightly.
Seeing that Ning Yuan was still standing there, he asked, "Are you thinking about how to invite me to join you?"
Ning Yuan's face immediately turned red and said, "Who wants to invite you!"
She was just hesitating whether to go to the bathing room or ask Shen Yan to prepare a wooden barrel.
His bathing room was very large, and the ambiguous atmosphere of them remained everywhere beside the warm pool. She didn't even need to go in to recall everything that happened last night.
She couldn't say what mood she was in now.
In short, she was secretly hoping to do it again, but she was also afraid that he would torture her until the second half of the night. She was exhausted.
She hesitated for a while, and felt that it was better to be restrained in such matters. After all, she didn't want to endure the shame of him applying medicine to her, so she said, "Can you prepare a bathtub for me behind the screen?"
"Why?" He looked at her puzzledly.
"It's just a small request, why should I ask for it?"
Shen Yan held the idea of not understanding but respecting, and ordered people to arrange everything quickly.
He sat at the desk reading the files, and heard bursts of water sounds coming from behind the screen not far away.
Everything was normal at first, but after a while, he felt that something was strange.
It was obviously a chilly spring season, and the room began to feel stuffy, and the sound of water a few steps away was particularly obvious.
She asked to take a bath in the room, could it be intentional? She
wanted him to hear her sound of water, and then aroused his reverie.
... It's time to go out and blow the cold wind.
He pursed his lips and said to Ning Yuan behind the screen, "I'll go out for a while."
He walked to the door and just opened it, but then he changed his mind and thought that now they were husband and wife, and everything they did was reasonable and legal.
It was obviously she who seduced first, so it was reasonable for him to have this thought. Why should he take the initiative to go out?
Thinking of this, he simply closed the door and walked back to the armchair behind the desk.
This book is exclusively organized by the LK team for you. Ning Yuan sat in the bathtub, splashing water on her body while thinking about what happened in the past few days.
Although she was not willing to agree to marry Shen Yan at the beginning, she was married now, and inexplicably felt that it was not bad.
This was her second night in the Shen Mansion.
Before this, she was very at ease. She didn't have to worry about her inexplicable sister, nor did she have to worry about anyone criticizing her words and deeds, and no one would deduct her expenses.
Ning Yuan stood up with the help of the bathtub, and suddenly realized that she came in in a hurry and didn't bring pajamas.
Shen Yan was different from her. In the past, she was used to having Chuxing accompany him, and there were many confidential matters in Shen Yan's room. Except for Mingjue, he would not allow others to enter his bedroom without permission, so she didn't call Chuxing to serve him.
But fortunately, this was not a big deal.
She remembered that he just said he was going out for a while, and then she heard the sound of the door opening and closing.
So he should not be back yet.
She just ran out, quickly got back her pajamas, and put them on behind the screen.
It's impossible that he would just happen to come back when she sneaked out to get her pajamas, right?
Just do it.
Ning Yuan got up from the bathtub and wiped her body hurriedly.
Just in case, she leaned against the gap in the screen to look at the door, and confirmed that the door was tightly closed and there was no shadow of anyone at the door. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
She walked barefoot, quickly passed the screen, went straight to the closet, and opened the door.
Shen Yan, who was sitting behind the desk, paused and was attracted by her unconsciously.
It was a pity that she was not familiar with Shen Yan's closet. She tiptoed to the top to search, and her long and straight legs were stretched out in front of him.
Her slender, soft, white fingertips trembled slightly, and she was always worried that the door would be pushed open suddenly. She
quickly glanced at the two upper compartments, but there was no clothing she was looking for.
Her eyes fell on the three compartments below, and she bent her waist slightly, and her round buttocks arched up.
This posture... was like an invitation.
Shen Yan did not blink, and he was even more certain that she was seducing him.
This was a trick he had used in front of her before, just to show the other party.
"Have you found enough?"
The voice was called out with a deep hoarseness.
Ning Yuan screamed "Ah", jumped out of the cupboard, turned around, and saw Shen Yan sitting behind the desk facing her.
His eyes did not fall on the paper in his hand, but were fixed calmly in front of her.
So... just now... didn't he look at her thoroughly?
