"Some people shouldn't speak too soon, or they'll be proven wrong later," he said sarcastically.
Chi Yan snorted lightly: "I'll say the same thing to you."
Shen Ci choked, then glared at him resentfully.
This attack was utterly ineffective against Chi Yan. He simply smiled and said to Shen Tangning, "It's almost lunchtime, let's go home?"
Shen Tangning naturally had no objections.
Shen Ci subconsciously took two steps to follow, and Chi Yan turned around and stared at him, his tone teasing: "What, is your brother-in-law coming back to my house too?"
Shen Ci then realized that his older sister had already married, and he could no longer follow her around like he used to.
Shen Tangning shook her head, looking at the two of them with a helpless expression, and sighed to Shen Ci: "Let's go home first, Mother must be getting impatient."
"oh."
Watching the two get into the carriage, Shen Ci gritted his teeth in anger at Chi Yan, looking somewhat dejected. He slunk away, preparing to walk home, since no one from his family would come to pick him up.
The carriage stopped in front of him, and Chi Yan lifted the curtain and glanced over leisurely: "Oh, is Young Master Shen so pitiful? Then I'll reluctantly give you a ride!"
Before Shen Ci could jump up in anger, Shen Tangning's face appeared. She looked both amused and helpless, and said gently, "Ci, don't listen to his nonsense. We'll take you home first."
"Great!" Shen Ci nimbly climbed onto the carriage, as if afraid that Chi Yan would change his mind.
He sat down in the carriage, his eyes darting between the two men, thinking to himself:
Although he was very reluctant to let his older sister get married, the situation didn't seem as bad as he had imagined.
Chi Yan, well, he's barely qualified to be his brother-in-law!

"What has the young master been busy with these past few days?"
Shen Xiwei stared intently at the person in front of her.
Chi Jingyu shook the snow off his cloak and handed it to Yuzhu. He sat down on the stool and looked over calmly when he heard the slightly questioning tone: "I told you before that I've been a bit busy these past two days."
She curled her lips into a mocking smile: "Busy going to see Shen Tangning?"
It wasn't hard to find out where Chi Jingyu was that day. In fact, some of his unusual behavior after he woke up from his coma had reached her as well.
Is this what he meant by "important"?
She was angry, confused, and even hysterical, but ultimately had to accept the fact.
Indeed, what you can't have is always the best.
Chi Jingyu frowned slightly, his face turning cold: "You sent people to find out my whereabouts?"
This approach undoubtedly displeased him greatly.
"Do I need to ask?" Shen Xiwei stared at him coldly. "The young master is eager to make it known to everyone. Even if I don't want to hear about it, it's probably difficult for me."
Chi Jingyu's eyes were unpredictable, because he had not yet adapted to the fact of his rebirth, and his behavior was inevitably impulsive. Afterwards, he himself felt that it was inappropriate.
However, this is not a reason for Shen Xiwei to criticize him!
"Don't do things like that again." The tone already carried a subtle warning.
Shen Xiwei's carefully maintained composure finally crumbled, and her expression became somewhat distorted: "If I hadn't had someone invite the young master over, you probably wouldn't have even stepped into this place. Do you still remember that I just had a miscarriage, and do you still remember that we had a child together?"
The barrage of questions finally made Chi Jingyu's face darken completely. His eyes were deep and tinged with sarcasm as he coldly retorted, "Do you really think I don't know how you slipped?"
"..."
Shen Xi was taken aback, and her face suddenly turned deathly pale.
