Shan Qihuan was supposed to come back next week, but he came back early. Shen Yuhan was more surprised than surprised when he saw him. He couldn't help but show his emotions, and did not try to hide the joy in his eyes.
"Why can't I come back?" Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan looked at each other, his eyes fell on his face. After not being awake for a few days, the little flesh on his cheeks disappeared. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched Shen Yuhan's face with a hint of displeasure, "Where did you eat?"
"In the stomach." Shen Yuhan followed his lead and said, he half-closed his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering, and took Shan Qihuan's hand that was pinching his face. When he was a little intimate with his husband outside, he would feel a little embarrassed, and whispered, "It will hurt."
"I didn't use any force." As soon as Shan Qihuan finished speaking, he saw a fingerprint on Shen Yuhan's fair face. It was the red mark he had just pinched. "Does it really hurt?"
"A little bit." Shen Yuhan looked up at Shan Qihuan, then lowered his eyes again, "But it doesn't hurt much."
Shan Qihuan really didn't expect his skin to be so thin and red. Although it felt good, he couldn't use too much force. He said uncomfortably, "Diaoyu."
Shen Yuhan raised his head and glanced at Shan Qihuan again: "No, I don't. I'm just a little thin-skinned."
"Yeah, she's thin-skinned, but still delicate." Shan Qihuan was actually in a very good mood after being looked at by him. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he turned to ask Shen Yuhan, "Did I look at Shan Qiyun just now?"
"Yeah, I don't know why he is here. He also said he wanted to have dinner with me." Shen Yuhan told Shan Qihuan everything that had just happened.
Shan Qihuan saw the frankness in his eyes and knew that he was not lying. He put his hand on his waist and gently led him to the car. He whispered, "It's cold outside. Get in the car first. I'll go talk to him."
When he was about to get on the car, I used my hand to shield his head from being hit. He was already delicate, and if he was hit again, he would cry.
With Shan Qihuan around, Shen Yuhan's recent worries were finally calmed. After the car door was closed by Shan Qihuan, he noticed that the driver was not the family driver, but Qu Zhu, who greeted him.
Shen Yuhan was quite curious about their trip. Since Qu Zhu was her own man, she didn't care that much about the stranger.
"Assistant Qu, is it hard for us in the United States this time?"
"It's OK. The boss is the main force this time, so he's working hard." Qu Zhu showed a standard work-style smile, "I have done a lot of work in the past few days to negotiate with the other party, and even held meetings in the hotel's conference room until late at night."
Shen Yuhan had never seen Shan Qihuan working late at home. She didn't expect that he would stay up late just to go home early. No wonder he looked haggard when he came back. Shen Yuhan couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Shen Yuhan always sees news about the difficult lives of the American people on the news broadcast.
With lingering fear, he covered his chest and asked, "I've seen news reports of frequent shootings in the United States, and people carrying guns walk the streets in the middle of the night. Is that dangerous?"
Qu Zhu said: "We don't go out at night, as long as we don't go to the more chaotic neighborhoods, and now we are back safely."
Shen Yuhan thought of Shan Qihuan's handsome face, which had become more fierce due to his weight loss: "So what did you eat over there?"
Qu Zhu said what he meant without exaggerating, but he tried his best to direct the topic to Shan Qihuan: "Just steak and bread, and occasionally Chinese food, but the Chinese food is so-so, and the boss doesn't really like it."
The most truthful statement was the most heartbreaking. Shen Yuhan thought that although they did not have to sleep in the open, they did not feel good without good food. In the evening, she would ask Aunt Wang to make some old duck soup for her husband to nourish him.
Qu Zhu felt that the boss's wife had listened to him, and thought to himself that he would ask his boss for a raise later, as there were not many assistants as perceptive as him these days.
While they were discussing the three meals a day for the American group, Shan Qihuan on the other side directly confronted Shan Qiyun.
Shan Qiyun was well prepared when he came. He had anticipated that Shen Yuhan would change his mind and reject his invitation. However, he did not expect Shan Qihuan to show up. Therefore, he was not afraid of Shan Qihuan at all when facing him alone.
However, Shan Qihuan did not lose his temper with Shan Qiyun or make a move. He was not that kind of person. Instead, he said to Shan Qiyun expressionlessly, "One day when you are free, your sister-in-law and I will treat you to a meal."
Shan Qiyun was holding flowers in his hands. He knew that Shan Qihuan had come with bad intentions, but he didn't expect him to be so calm and to say such things so lightly.
Sister-in-law, Shen Yuhan
He didn't dare to agree: "Thank you, Brother Huan, I may not be able to spare the time recently."
Shan Qihuan's eyes seemed to have ice knives, slicing towards Shan Qiyun's face little by little: "Sister-in-law just said that you have time to invite him to dinner."
Shan Qiyun was stunned. What did Shen Yuhan mean? He just told Shan Qihuan everything with just one sentence
His hands holding the bouquet stiffened slightly, but he still maintained a decent smile on his face: "What are you talking about? I'm here to pick up the girl I'm pursuing, and by the way, ask her if she wants to have dinner together."
Shan Qihuan suddenly put his hand on Shan Qiyun's shoulder: "Okay, if that's the case, then you can have a good meal with your girlfriend, and don't worry about my lunch with your sister-in-law." He pressed Shan Qiyun's shoulder and lowered his voice to warn, "Shan Qiyun, Shen Yuhan is mine now, so, get out of here and stop hanging around us."
Shan Qiyun wanted to take Shan Qihuan's hand away, but Shan Qihuan's hand was welded to his shoulder like iron. In order to maintain his gentlemanly image, he pretended not to feel any pain and gritted his teeth and said, "Let go! You care about Shen Yuhan, does he care about you? He used to love me with all his heart."
Shan Qihuan loosened his grip on his shoulder, patted his coat, and laughed instead of getting angry: "Everyone has their blindness at some point."
From childhood to adulthood, Dan Tianfeng would call all of their families to have dinner together at his house during the holidays. The wives could not attend, but the children had to go.
Shan Qihuan's biological mother had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs, so naturally, the four children were under the care of Shan Tianfeng. However, Shan Tianfeng had been a playboy from his youth to his old age and didn't care about them at all.
Children who are spoiled by their mothers are indeed more confident than those who are not under the supervision of their mothers.
The children of the other three houses had a natural hostility towards Shan Qihuan and his family. When Shan Qiyun was a child, he used to use his advantage to bully Shan Qihuan, who was the same age as him. He called him brother, but never thought of him as a brother in his heart. When he did something wrong, he would blame Shan Qihuan. Shan Tianfeng always doted on children who were spoiled, and he ignored all the intrigues inside. Naturally, Shan Qihuan was at a disadvantage every time they confronted each other. Over time, Shan Qihuan became silent when he returned to the Shan family. No matter whether Shan Tianfeng judged him to be right or wrong, he never argued.
Because these people are strangers to him and cannot affect his future and life, quarreling with them will undoubtedly lower his own quality.
But this time, Shan Qihuan didn't want to endure it any longer. Seeing Shan Qiyun was so upset that he had nothing to say, he felt much better.
He didn't give Shan Qiyun a chance to refute. After he finished speaking, he went straight to the car to meet Shen Yuhan.
When Shan Qiyun wanted to chase after him, he was stopped by the girl he brought with him today.
Damn it, the taciturn Shan Qihuan is really too much when he talks about people!
Tell him to get out of here? Just Shen Yuhan? Not worthy
After returning to the car, Shan Qihuan asked Shen Yuhan what he wanted to eat for lunch.
Shan Qihuan looked haggard. Shen Yuhan felt sorry for him. Going home early would allow her husband to rest earlier, so she said, "Shall we go home to eat?"
Shan Qihuan did not object. He was indeed a little tired after sitting on the plane for several hours. "Okay, after Qu Zhu sends us back, let's go home and rest."
At this time, Shen Yuhan had a lot to say to Shan Qihuan, but there were other people in the car, so he just asked him about his recent situation.
After racking his brains for a while, Shen Yuhan finally came up with an idea. He pinched his fingers and asked Shan Qihuan: "Is American steak delicious?"
"Not bad." Shan Qihuan saw his conflicted look, and the fatigue he had felt along the way was relieved a lot. "Do you want to eat steak?" Otherwise, why would he emphasize this
I don’t know if the previous “Shen Yuhan” had ever eaten steak, but the current one has never eaten it.
Shen Yuhan has been receiving a lot of information recently. He knows about steak, but has never eaten it. He said truthfully: "I have never eaten American steak."
This can be extended to mean that he has never been to the United States, so he has never eaten American steak, and it also explains why he has never eaten steak.
In their State of Qi, cattle were very precious livestock. Only old cattle that were too old to work would be eaten. But even old beef was very precious and only wealthy families could afford it. He had eaten beef several times since he came to this world, but he had never tasted what modern people call steak.
Shan Qihuan now agreed to whatever he asked: "I'll take you to eat steak at noon tomorrow."
Being able to try new food would make Shen Yuhan happy. Being able to go out and see the new world was a good thing for Shen Yuhan. When he replied to Dan Qihuan, his tone was much higher.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay."
Looking at Shen Yuhan's glowing face, Shan Qihuan indulged in his smile, his mood improved, and he already had plans for tomorrow's itinerary in his mind.
When they got home, Aunt Wang was already preparing lunch. When Shan Qihuan and Shan Qiyun were talking alone, Shen Yuhan called Aunt Wang and asked her to prepare lunch in advance. As soon as they got home, the smell of food wafted from the house.
Considering that Qu Zhu had worked hard to send them back, Shan Qihuan asked him to finish his meal at home before leaving. Qu Zhu, who always read people's expressions, politely refused and found a perfect excuse to spare some time and space for the boss and his wife.
After I left, I remembered that the boss lady had a dance class in the afternoon, but now it seems that I have no choice but to stand up the dance teacher again.
Lunch was just a simple home-cooked meal. Shen Yuhan had just recovered from a cold, so Aunt Wang didn't prepare any dishes with heavy oil or salt. Shan Qihuan was very satisfied with Aunt Wang's arrangement.
Aunt Wang did not disturb the couple's reunion and automatically avoided them. After lunch, Shen Yuhan cleaned up the dishes herself, and then cut some fruit for her husband to nourish his body.
Shan Qihuan was indeed very tired. After the meal, he lay down on the sofa and didn't want to move. He felt a little drowsy, so he supported his chin with his hand and closed his eyes.
Shen Yuhan gently placed the fruit plate on the coffee table and sat down on the sofa quietly.
But Shan Qihuan could smell the faint fragrance coming from him from afar and opened his eyes. It was time to settle the score.
Shan Qihuan patted the seat next to him and said, "Come here, let's talk."
The word "chat" reminded Shen Yuhan of some not-so-nice memories. She had talked to him before he went on a business trip and wanted to live a life unrelated to him. He got angry when he thought of this, and the feeling of life that he almost forgot about came back again.
"What were you talking about?" Shen Yuhan was two seats away from Shan Qihuan, with vigilance in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at Shan Qihuan.
Shan Qihuan thought of his own faults and was amused by Shen Yuhan's sudden nervous expression. He chuckled and said, "It's not that." He moved to Shen Yuhan's side. If the mountain is not him, he will be the mountain. "Why didn't you answer my video call these two days, and you were so slow to reply to my messages, only one or two a day."
Shen Yuhan rarely got so close to Shan Qihuan unless there was an emergency. He was enveloped by the faint pine scent on Shan Qihuan's body, and his brain began to stop working.
When it comes to not answering the video call and not replying to messages, Shen Yuhan immediately looked at Shan Qihuan with a resentful look.
He propped his hands on the leather sofa, scratched them subconsciously, and whispered, "I still have to ask you about this."
"Ask me what?" Shan Qihuan really didn't know what else he had done to displease him.
Shan Qihuan's thigh accidentally touched Shen Yuhan's, and Shen Yuhan was startled. Her face flushed when her husband suddenly approached her, and she spoke in a less confident tone, and her husband was staring at her with a straight look.
Shen Yuhan shyly turned her head away, her ears red, and said with a little stammer: "We are outside, right..."
"Is it something?" Shen Yuhan's voice was so low that Shan Qihuan couldn't hear clearly. He moved closer to Shen Yuhan, almost sticking to him, and asked in a hoarse voice in his ear, "Speak louder. We just had dinner."
Shen Yuhan bit his lower lip. When he thought about the fact that Shan Qihuan wanted to live separately from him in the future and might have a mistress outside, he angrily pushed Shan Qihuan who was close to him, but did not push him away and pursed his lips.
Shan Qihuan didn't know what he was making a fuss about. He was gently pushed, as if tickled: "I apologized to you for what happened last time. What exactly are you talking about now?"
"That's right, if you have someone else outside," Shen Yuhan's nose was slightly sour and his eyes were a little red, but he didn't cry. He lowered his head and frowned and said, "You want to have two lovers, and enjoy the happiness of having two lovers. I..."
She has thought it through. If her husband also wants to take a concubine, she can only accept it and work hard in the future. As a modern person, she will earn money to support herself and be self-reliant.
Shan Qihuan frowned and interrupted him: "When did I ever meet someone else outside? Who are you listening to gossip about?"
Shen Yuhan raised his head and saw his shadow in Shan Qihuan's eyes: "Just, if..."
"There are no ifs. I don't have anyone else. What are you thinking about every day?" Shan Qihuan raised his hand and gently ruffled his hair. "Is it because of this that you don't video chat with me?"
Shen Yuhan thought that it was not just this matter. He had been very confused those two days and was irritated by everything. He was afraid that his emotions would affect Shan Qihuan, so he did not answer the call. Of course, it was also possible that he was too tired from studying and had no one to talk to, so he felt depressed.
However, since my husband asked, he nodded: "Yeah."
Shan Qihuan thought that it was because of the previous incident that made him sensitive, so he stopped asking and sighed, saying, "Next time you hear about this kind of thing, just ask me directly."
"Oh." Shen Yuhan was worried and asked again, "Really?"
Shan Qihuan's eyes began to change, and he said seriously: "Shen Yuhan, I won't lie to you. As long as I did it, I will tell you. If I didn't do it, I naturally didn't do it. I can guarantee it to you."
Shen Yuhan looked down at the toes of his white cotton shoes, which had two cute little eyes embroidered on them in the shape of little rabbits. The shoes were bought for him by Shan Qihuan when she sent someone to his home while he was away on a business trip. He thought he had to trust his husband.
"I understand. I believe you."
Shan Qihuan didn't expect him to believe him right away. Time would tell. After all, his current behavior was not so trustworthy. "Come upstairs with me. I bought you some small gifts in the United States."
Shen Yuhan followed Shan Qihuan upstairs obediently. Shan Qihuan took out a beautifully packaged box.
"What gift?" Shen Yuhan's eyes lit up again.
Shan Qihuan opened the box, revealing a set of jewelry with simple and elegant design, including a necklace, earrings, a bracelet, and a ring that was different from the rest of the set.
This was a rare yellow gem, a bit bigger than any other gem Shen Yuhan had worn before, very exquisite, and sparkled under the light. He thought it was just an expensive gem, and didn't know that it was a yellow diamond ring that Shan Qihuan had ordered from a jewelry company before going abroad. It was at noon the day after he made Shen Yuhan cry.
Shan Qihuan took it out alone: "Stretch out your left hand."
They wore rings when they got married, but they both took them off early on and no one wears them anymore.
Shen Yuhan obediently held him with his left hand, and Shan Qihuan put the ring on Shen Yuhan's finger again, but this time he was completely voluntary.
His fingers were slender and beautiful, with a few calluses on their front, but now they felt very smooth.
The ring was custom-made according to the size of Shen Yuhan's finger, fitting perfectly with the ring finger of Shen Yuhan's left hand, neither loose nor tight.
Shen Yuhan fell in love with it the first time he saw it.
"Should I wear it all the time?" Shen Yuhan looked at it again and again, comparing it left and right under the light, unable to describe its beauty in words.
"You can wear it as long as you want." Shan Qihuan didn't care about its price. His goal was to see the joy in Shen Yuhan's eyes.
Shen Yuhan found that his husband was looking at him. He put his hand away a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Thank you, husband."
"What did you just say?" Shan Qihuan asked him deliberately.
Shen Yuhan thought for a moment and repeated: "Thank you?"
Shan Qihuan stared into his eyes and guided him: "Not this one, but the one after that."
“Old…” Shen Yuhan’s cheeks flushed slightly when he saw Shan Qihuan looking at him with a smile. His husband was particularly charming when he smiled. He turned his face away and closed his mouth.
My husband is so mean.
Shan Qihuan didn't force him, sat on the bed and said, "I'm a little tired, sleep with me for a while?"
"Okay." When in the company, Shan Qihuan would sleep with him.
A few minutes later, Shan Qihuan really fell asleep. He was really tired. He had been working non-stop in the United States and had not had much rest. Shen Yuhan did not answer his video call and was worried, so he hurried home.
Shen Yuhan lay on her side and looked at him for a long time. He slept peacefully and the sharpness between his eyebrows was gone. Compared with her husband in the video, he was better looking in real life.
She thought her husband should be asleep, so she quietly held his little finger and whispered, "Honey, you've worked hard."
