【39.】

  Following Shen Duan, I could clearly feel that he was a bit angry, but it wasn't clear why. It couldn't be because of the food Du Bin gave me, right?

  That's ridiculous.

  As he walked to the door of their private room, he turned back, his good-looking eyebrows locked tightly, and asked angrily: "Why didn't you refuse him?"

  Huh?

  I was momentarily stunned and had no idea what kind of temper this young master was throwing now.

  "I'm telling you." He took my hand "Don't casually go out to eat with others."

  Hi!

  I shook him off and lost my temper.

  "What right do you have to talk about me? Just because you saw it today, I'll tell you Shen Duan, I have plenty of ways to make you not see. Whether I'm accompanying someone for a meal or sleep, what does it have to do with you?"

  His face suddenly fell, as if the person inside had heard his voice and opened the door. I looked over... hey, isn't that the beautiful woman who was just sitting next to him?

  "Prince." She glanced at me "What's wrong? Why are you throwing such a big tantrum?"

  I didn't look at her either, but stubbornly stared at Shen Zhong. Shen Zhong's face was gloomy and very intimidating, he didn't say a word, just staring at me like that.

  The beauty came up and grabbed Shen Dong's arm: "Let's go, Wang Bo is still waiting for you inside, don't be rude."

  He impatiently shook her off: "Shen Yao, stop messing around."

  What's wrong?

  Isn't it his sister?

  I took a closer look, and indeed there was some resemblance between them, but his sister had standard big eyes, while Shen Zhong had peach blossom eyes, which were not very large, but were enchanting.

  Shen Yao stuck out his tongue and made a "go for it" gesture behind the scenes: "Take care of this chaotic demon king!"

  After Shen Yao went in, the two of us continued to stare at each other, neither of us willing to back down. After a while, I suddenly felt very childish, so I turned around and left, but he grabbed me: "Where are you going?"

  "Go home, or what? Stay here with you and watch the seas dry up, the stones crumble, the sky collapse, and the earth shatter?"

  He seemed to be amused by what I said, and with his head lowered, he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You, you!"

  Cut!

  "He also..." He started with two words, but inexplicably, he couldn't continue. I looked at him, perplexed.

  Shen Duan angrily waved his hand: "I... Ah! In short, I wasn't such a petty person in the past."

  He rarely showed a childlike look of distress, I was delighted in my heart, feeling that this kind of true emotion is really love. Only when you truly fall in love, will you be unable to control your emotions, and only then will you not be like usual.

  I didn't say a word, he looked at me with moist eyes, I finally gave in: "I wanted to make it clear to him today, isn't this a matter of sooner or later?"

  Shen Duan nodded, looking very wronged: "I know... I just can't help eating vinegar."

  "Alas." I looked at him with a pitiful expression "I wasn't full just now."

  "Come on, let's go in, young master will treat you to a good meal."

  I curtsied like a little maid from ancient times and said: "Thank you, young master."

  As I entered the house, everyone's eyes flashed towards me like camera flashes. An older person asked on behalf of everyone: "Who is this?"

  I didn't wait for Shendong to speak up, I took the initiative to answer: "I am Shendong's sister."

  He blandly corrected me: "This is my friend."

  Everyone has an air of calmness about them...

  These despicable guys.

  I walked over and sat down beside Shendong, with Shenyao by my side.

  She mysteriously leaned in: "Are you an Earthling?"

  Shen Dang looked at her for a moment, and before I could respond, she fell silent. I wasn't afraid of Shen Dang, so I pulled Shen Yao: "Look, I'm from Earth. Really!"

  She took a glance at Shen Zhong, and I gave her a "don't worry, I've got this" look. Shen Yao was relieved: "My god, it's unbelievable! There's actually someone in this world who can tame my family's Fifth Young Master!"

  "Five Princes?"

  Isn't everyone usually called "Gongzi"? It's rare to hear someone being called "Wu Gongzi".

  "Yes!" Shen Yao nodded "He is the fifth in the Shen family's generation, and everyone in the old mansion calls him Fifth Master."

  Are you from Beijing?

  Shen Yao took a bite of the dish and replied vaguely, "Mm-hm, yeah."

  Shen Dang patted my arm: "Don't just talk, eat something."

  "It's all of you who have moved it, I don't want to pick up the leftovers and eat them."

  "Let me change it for you."

  "Hey!" I hastily grabbed his arm "No no no! Young master, I was wrong, please don't bother anymore."

  "He still frowned: 'I don't even know what you like to eat. It's not what I ordered, so just make do with it.'"

  What an arrogant attitude!

  "He's always been like this, and yet no one dares to provoke him. Fortunately, there's you now."

  Endless emotions in words. I walked over with a sullen face and said in a low voice, "I'm three years older than him! But I'm still afraid of him, what's the difference? We're basically the same kind of person."

  She stared at me in horror: "Don't lift me up like that!"

  *sigh*...

  Is this called lifting?

  I took a look at the dishes on the table, and they were barely touched. It's no wonder this is a high-quality gathering. Unlike our classmates' gatherings, which are always chaotic, I sighed inwardly while pretending to scan the various delicious foods, afraid of missing out on any of them.

  "Ah." I leaned towards Shen Dong "Is the middle pink noodle soup good?"

  He fell silent for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, with a very entangled expression. Just when I was about to try it myself, he spoke up and said: "I'll serve you some."

  Good! I happily handed over my small bowl.

  Because it was placed in the middle, Shen Dong had to stand up to reach it. A young man next to him stood up and took over the bowl from Shen Dong's hands, saying repeatedly: "I'll get it, I'll get it."

  Shen Dang ignored him and continued to pour seriously.

  That person was a bit embarrassed and accompanied by a smile said: "Mr. Shen wants to eat this flavor of fish fin is really our store's honor."

  Damn it!

  I said Shen Dong is thinking for so long! It turned out to be shark fin.

  "Hey, Liu Jia. Do you like our young master?"

  I drank the rice noodle soup with a huff, asking: "Why ask like that?"

  "I'm looking at him." She nodded in the direction of the young master with her chin "How does it seem like a barber's pole, one head hot?"

  I'm silently sulking.

  "You think he's unreliable, right?"

  I nodded.

  "Cough! I thought it was a big deal! Let me tell you, Liu Jia, don't be fooled by those high-ranking officials on TV and in movies. They make us high-ranking officials look unreliable." She became serious "You say, if you marry a high-ranking official's son, at least you can struggle less for thirty years! Putting aside the vulgarity, do you think all high-ranking officials are easy to get along with? That's nonsense! Not to mention others, just take my family's eldest as an example. He's also a young master, his temper may not be as arrogant as the fifth young master, but he was a well-known figure in the circle back then. When he was young, he loved to play, but after getting married, he knew what a man's responsibility was. No matter how he was before, now he takes care of his family very well! Not all high-ranking officials are the same, it's not that I'm boasting, our Shen family is also a big household. When we were young, adults taught us that as a person in society, you must understand your responsibilities. Being natural and innocent is okay when you're young, but if you can't control yourself after getting married and starting a career, then you have no upbringing. My grandfather wouldn't allow it."

  I took a glance at Shen Zhuo's cold and stern profile, and somehow I fantasized about what he would be like after getting married. Probably still the same arrogant and overbearing appearance as now, completely male chauvinistic.

  He seemed to have found me looking at him and turned around with a smile. It was like a gentle breeze on my face.

  I suddenly feel that marrying such a man is a great blessing.
