Chapter 214 Accompany Me to Take a Bath
Wen Jiayue really didn't want to discuss this kind of thing with Shen Fuhan in public.
She lowered her voice and said, "Shut up!"
Shen Fuhan didn't say much, but simply replied with a slow and deliberate "okay".
"Let go."
Shen Fuhan ignored her and instead gripped her even tighter.
Wen Jiayue said in a panic, "Someone will see us."
Shen Fuhan said calmly, "So what if we see it? Who dares to say a word?"
Wen Jiayue bit her lip; indeed, no one dared to do it.
Moreover, thanks to this outfit, no servants appeared within five steps of me.
They soon arrived at the lake.
This place is no longer barren; lotus flowers have been planted in the lake, and a bridge has been built.
Before it got dark, the craftsmen were working hard, and the pavilion in the middle of the lake was already taking shape.
Stepping onto the arched bridge, Shen Fuhan said, "It's time to buy a few boats."
"No rush, there's still a month until Zhaozhao's birthday."
Shen Fuhan paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you planning to let Zhaozhao celebrate her birthday at the manor?"
Wen Jiayue feigned surprise and said, "Yes, where else would we go?"
She wanted to avoid the fate of Ruyi being murdered by villains on Zhaozhao's birthday, and the best way to do that was not to go.
"Naturally, we're going to the temple to fulfill our vows," Shen Fuhan said with a displeased expression. "Have you forgotten?"
Unexpectedly, he still remembered. Wen Jiayue suddenly realized and said, "I remember now, let's go and fulfill our vow."
Shen Fuhan seemed quite enthusiastic about this matter, so Wen Jiayue decided to feign illness when the time came.
If he discovers now that she doesn't want to go, he will do everything in his power to make her go over the next month.
Instead of arguing endlessly now, it's better to adapt to the situation when it comes.
They soon arrived at Ninghui Hall.
Wen Jiayue moved her fingers, and Shen Fuhan released her at the right moment.
The old lady stood in front of the hall and came to greet her grandson when she saw him from afar.
"Fuhan, you're finally back!"
Wen Jiayue, being quite perceptive, stood with Shen Fuyou and Shen Funian, not disturbing the grandfather and granddaughter's reunion.
Behind him, Shen Fuyou asked softly, "Sister-in-law, my brother doesn't suspect me, does he?"
He did bring Yan'er into the mansion somewhat impulsively, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, to the point that he had nightmares.
After finally recovering, he started having trouble sleeping again as his older brother's return to Beijing approached, and he even lost a lot of hair from worry.
Wen Jiayue whispered back, "Your older brother hasn't asked about these things yet, so don't worry too much. Be careful not to give yourself away."
"I can't help but worry," Shen Fuyou said anxiously. "Look at the clothes my elder brother is wearing today, they're like the Black Impermanence who's here to take my life!"
Wen Jiayue almost burst out laughing, and reassured him, "This is what I chose for him, don't overthink it, nothing will happen."
Shen Fuyou wanted to say something more, but suddenly noticed a sharp gaze shooting towards him from the side, and immediately became quiet.
"Fuyou seems to have lost a lot of weight," Shen Fuhan said quietly. "Hasn't he been sleeping well lately?"
Shen Fuyou felt a chill run down his spine and immediately gave a fawning smile.
"I was just worried about you, brother. You've worked so hard, brother. I'll go get you some tea!"
With that, he dashed back to the hall.
Shen Fuhan withdrew his gaze and said, "Grandmother, let's go inside too."
Wen Jiayue and Shen Funian went in together, followed by Shen Chengyao with a mournful face.
Shen Funian clicked her tongue: "Remember to pay your respects to your uncle later."
Shen Chengyao pouted and said, "I know, Mother."
Wen Jiayue glanced at Yao'er and smiled, "It's been so long, why do I feel like Yao'er has lost a lot of weight?"
Ever since Shen Fuhan started teaching him to read, Yao'er has been getting thinner every now and then.
She thought that without Shen Fuhan watching over him for a month, he would gain weight again, but unexpectedly he became even thinner.
She clearly remembered that in her past life, he was unrestrained and got fatter and fatter.
He was only seven years old at the time, but he already looked like a ten-year-old, tall and strong.
Shen Funian looked at her son and asked doubtfully, "Really?"
She saw him every day, but didn't notice any changes.
Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyao smiled smugly and winked at his fourth uncle.
Shen Fuyou was completely oblivious to his nephew's gaze; his mind was filled with the thought, "It's all over."
He shouldn't have acted impulsively, shouldn't have brought Yan'er into the mansion, and even more so, shouldn't have shouted at Guard Ling.
Fortunately, he had a remedy. After taking his seat, he cleared his throat to attract everyone's attention and then instructed the maid behind him to pour wine.
This was a maid he brought specially, to dispel his elder brother's doubts.
He's recently taken to taking his maid with him when he goes out. What's wrong?
Shen Fuhan frowned and looked over, but didn't say anything.
During the meal, the old lady kept asking Shen Fuhan all sorts of questions, while Wen Jiayue and the others seemed to be just there for show.
However, she was quite content to relax and ate her meal on her own.
Shen Funian picked up a slice of osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice lotus root for her son and leaned closer to her to speak softly.
"Grandparents and grandchildren really don't hold grudges overnight. Look at how kind and filial the grandparents are. Has Grandmother forgotten that it was her eldest brother who made her sick?"
Wen Jiayue didn't know how to respond, so she smiled slightly and said, "Eat more and talk less."
However, after such an illness, the old lady's aging was indeed obvious.
People who used to be full of energy and spirit now have a somewhat cloudy look in their eyes.
During the month that Shen Fuhan was away, the old lady did not cause any trouble.
However, it is also possible that she was stopped by Ling He without her knowledge.
In short, this month has been very pleasant, as if the troubles of the world have disappeared.
Unfortunately, Shen Fuhan has returned, and everything is about to get back on track.
The most important thing is to have sex tonight.
She still vividly remembered their last sexual encounter, and since it had been a month since they last did it, she was a little scared.
But Shen Fuhan has traveled for so long, he probably doesn't have that much energy, right?
After dinner, everyone sat with the old lady for a while longer before returning to their respective courtyards.
Shen Fuyou was the first to leave, and even the maid he brought couldn't catch up with him; she had to run to keep up.
Fearing that his uncle would drag him to class, Shen Chengyao used all his strength to pull his mother out of Ninghui Hall.
Wen Jiayue couldn't even grab someone to chat with for a while longer, so she could only follow Shen Fuhan toward the main courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Shen Fuhan didn't seem to be in a hurry. He slowed down and walked with her as if they were taking a stroll.
The moonlight was bright, and a gentle evening breeze was blowing.
Back in his bedroom, Shen Fuhan ordered water to be prepared for a bath.
Taking advantage of this moment, he picked up Zhao Zhao and asked her if she remembered her father.
Zhao Zhao tilted her little head and repeated, "Daddy!"
Shen Fuhan smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Wen Jiayue seized the opportunity to speak up: "Let Zhaozhao sleep with us tonight."
Shen Fuhan answered without hesitation, "Okay."
Wen Jiayue was stunned. He actually agreed?
Just as he was feeling relieved, the servant replied, "My lord, the hot water is ready."
Shen Fuhan responded, put Zhaozhao down, took her hand without saying a word, and led her into the bedroom.
Wen Jiayue was stunned for a moment: "My Lord..."
"Help me undress."
She breathed a sigh of relief, but when she entered the bedroom, Shen Fuhan pushed open the bathroom door directly.
Amidst the swirling mist, Shen Fuhan pinned her against the wall.
"So easily fooled," he chuckled coldly, "come bathe with me."
