Chapter 114 I Want to Get Married
At seven o'clock in the evening, night falls quietly.
Shen Chaoxi opened the door of Room 1202 and found that the lights in the hall were not on and the room was dim.
She entered the entrance hall and turned on the switch, and the hall instantly became bright.
While changing shoes, look towards the hall.
No one is empty.
Feeling a little disappointed, Shen Chaoxi then remembered that he needed treatment during the day and should be on the other side.
Just as she put the package bag in her hand on the dining table, the door of her room was opened from the inside.
A man in navy blue silk pajamas walked out.
He had a handsome face, sleepy eyes, and slightly messy short hair. He looked like he had just woken up.
There is nothing wrong with him sleeping and recuperating at home, but the place where he appeared was problematic.
Shen Chaoxi glared at him, glanced at the half-closed white wooden door, and asked, "Why are you sleeping in my room?"
As if to agree with her words, Shang Jianghan actually stretched.
Then he walked closer and pulled the confused man towards him.
The girl had been tired after a day of traveling, her hair was a little disheveled and her face inevitably looked tired, but it was very down to earth.
"You forgot, this is my home!"
Shen Chaoxi opened her mouth, but really couldn't find the words to refute, so she changed the subject and asked the other party what he wanted to eat for dinner.
It was indeed late to start preparing dinner at this time, but she didn't want to be perfunctory.
"Shall we make some jujube and millet porridge, some tomato beef brisket, and then stir-fry two dishes?"
Shang Jianghan looked over her shoulder at the packaging bag.
"I'm a little hungry. What did you buy?"
He said he was hungry and actually touched his belly.
Shen Chaoxi raised his eyes and looked over. Maybe because he had a good sleep, his face was no longer as pale as before.
Taking his eyes away from the homely, relaxed-looking man, Shen Chaoxi began to sort the ingredients.
"Spinach, pork liver, jujube, longan, wolfberry, beef, codonopsis and a black chicken. I'll make you some soup tomorrow!"
Shen Chaoxi walked to the dining table and took out the ingredients from the packages one by one.
Shang Jianghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at her with a smile in his dark eyes and asked, "Are you taking care of the baby during the confinement period?"
Shen Chaoxi was amused by his words, remembering how she was at a loss in the supermarket just now and really didn't know what to buy.
"Isn't this to replenish your blood and qi?"
The girl's voice was soft and there was a hint of doubt in it, as if she was unsure whether her decision was reasonable.
It turns out she knew everything.
Shang Jianghan walked to the dining table, hugged her from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
The girl always has a faint orchid scent on her body. She looks cold and arrogant, but makes people yearn for and fascinated by her.
"Shen Chaoxi, you're thinking about me like this, does that mean you still care about me, and can we start over?"
Unlike the domineering and possessive words he said in the past few days, his attitude of lowering himself to seek opinions this time made Shen Chaoxi feel distressed for some reason.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but people become more fragile when they are sick, regardless of their age or status.
She looked at him sideways and met his deep black eyes.
Shen Chaoxi lowered his voice and glanced at his bruised arm.
"You're always sick, and I don't have time to take care of you. I have work to do, and I can't always clean up your mess, right?"
After he finished speaking, he lifted her fair and delicate chin with his slender fingers, and they looked at each other from top to bottom.
The man's Adam's apple rose and he asked after a moment.
"I won't get sick in the future, and I won't hurt myself for someone who doesn't deserve it. You will stay by my side forever, right?"
His palms were sweaty, and Shang Jianghan admitted that he was nervous at the moment.
Those bright eyes were like a clear spring, staring at me without blinking.
Time seemed to stand still. After a long time, Shen Chaoxi felt a little tired of this position. She reached out to pry open the big hand that was restraining her. When their hands touched, she was turned around and pressed into a solid embrace.
The thumping sound of the heart and the heavy breathing merge together, as if witnessing the arrival of a certain moment.
Shen Chaoxi nodded and put her arms around the man's waist.
……
A pleasant dinner.
After dinner, Shen Chaoxi wanted to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Shang Jianghan.
"I'll clean it up."
He quickly cleared the dishes, sorted out the leftovers and threw them away, put the dishes into the dishwasher, and carefully cleaned the stove. From an observer's perspective, it was clear that this was not the first time he had done these things.
During the five years of separation, time passed quietly, and many things changed quietly, yet it seemed that nothing had changed.
In Shen Chaoxi's sight, the man's busy figure looked a little weird, but she had to admit that she was impressed by his handsomeness.
He washed himself an apple, took a bite, and leaned against the kitchen door while chewing.
"Okay, Mr. Shang! I wonder how the hundreds of thousands of Lianzhong employees would feel when they see their high-ranking CEO wash his hands to cook and take care of the household chores?"
Shen Chaoxi sniffed. He hadn't recovered from the flu yet and still had some nasal sounds.
Shang Jianghan looked back at her, and a smile gradually appeared on his face despite being teased.
"Aren't you rushing to finish your manuscript?"
Seeing the girl put on her black-framed glasses again, Shang Jianghan's eyes flashed, and he took a step forward and took off her glasses.
"Let Yu Dong find an eye care professional for you tomorrow. You've been looking at the computer for a long time, so your myopia is false and can be adjusted. If you can avoid wearing this, don't wear it."
"Hey!" Shen Chaoxi tried to grab it back but was a step too slow. She pouted in protest.
"Why do you act so pompous just because you're full? I need to write. Computers have blue light. I wear glasses to protect myself. Besides, can a pair of glasses determine whether I'm beautiful or ugly?"
When the girl becomes lively, even her voice sounds sweet and cute.
Shang Jianghan lowered his head and placed a kiss on her slightly upturned lips.
It feels soft and warm, and is really delicious.
My cheeks felt like they were on fire.
Shen Chaoxi put the back of his hands to his mouth and stamped his feet.
"No, I have the flu! Your immunity is low now, aren't you afraid of being infected?"
Shang Jianghan took out a tissue and wiped his hands, with a beautiful smile on his face.
"I'm sick anyway, so I might as well take one more medicine."
What a heresy!
Shen Chaoxi was about to argue with him but was interrupted by the ringing of Shang Jianghan's cell phone.
Fortunately, the good atmosphere was not interrupted during dinner.
Shang Jianghan put away the smile on his face. At this moment, someone would block all business matters for him, unless it was a family matter.
Sure enough, the call showed Shang Qichao.
Shang Jianghan did not avoid Shen Chaoxi. He waved at her after answering the phone and pointed at the pills on the coffee table.
Shen Chaoxi walked over and saw that the medicines he usually took had been placed there.
When she turned around to pour herself a glass of water, she heard Shang Jianghan talking to the other end of the phone.
"I went there early in the morning and heard everything I needed to hear."
On the other end of the phone, Shang Qichao was silent for a while and then sighed.
Afterwards, the two talked about business matters.
Before hanging up the phone, Shang Jianghan looked at the girl curled up on the sofa, frowning at the flu capsule, his eyes filled with tenderness, and then his voice became unusually calm.
"Dad, please spare some time as soon as possible. I want to get married. Let's go visit the elders of the girl's family."
Shen Chaoxi had just put a capsule into his mouth, but after hearing this, he hadn't had time to drink the water and the capsule got stuck in his throat.
Let’s make peace!
