Chapter 40

A woman’s excited voice sounded behind him: “Really? He Shaochuan, you are so nice!”

The arms behind him suddenly felt empty, and He Shaochuan felt a little uncomfortable.

But when he turned around and saw Ning He jumping up happily, the corners of his lips raised an imperceptible curve.

Ning He thought of something again and asked He Shaochuan while blinking her black and white eyes.

“Do you know anyone who can build a car?”

He Shaochuan did not answer Ning He directly, but asked her: “How long will it take for the car?”

Ning He said bluntly: “Of course the sooner the better, but I know that making a car takes a lot of time, so there is no rush, as long as it is done well.”

“Is three days enough?” He Shaochuan gave Ning He an exact time.

“Three days?!” Ning He widened his eyes in surprise.

“Too long?” He Shaochuan frowned slightly.

“No!” Ning He cleared his throat, wondering if they were going a little too far.

“Isn’t three days too rushed? Actually, there’s no need to be so anxious. If we scare the master away, it will take a lot of time to find another one…”

“I’ll do it.” He Shaochuan interrupted Ning He’s mumbling.

“Ah?” Ning He looked at He Shaochuan hesitantly and asked hesitantly: “Are you serious? Can you do it?”

He Shaochuan was not annoyed by Ning He’s doubts, but raised his eyebrows and looked at her: “Is making a car harder than building a house?”

Ning He understood what He Shaochuan meant. She swallowed and asked incredulously, “You have built a house before?”

These words made He Shaochuan look slightly stunned, and he looked at Ning He in confusion.

He Shaochuan’s parents died early, and his old house was destroyed by mountain torrents in early years. After the flood, He Shaochuan built a new house brick by brick.

Not only that, when he came to propose marriage, he saw that the roof of Ning He’s house was leaking, so he got a ladder and repaired the roof without saying a word.

How could Ning He not know about this?

He Shaochuan stared at the change in Ning He’s expression and asked tentatively: “Don’t you know?”

Ning He’s alarm bells suddenly rang when she felt He Shaochuan’s probing gaze.

She was panicked. It was over. Why did He Shaochuan look at her like that? And asked her like that. Did she reveal her flaws?

But the author never mentioned this matter at all.

Ning He smiled, and soon her expression returned to normal: “You also know that I was obsessed with you at first, and I didn’t pay attention to you, so I didn’t realize your goodness. It shouldn’t be too late to realize it now, right?”

Ning He threw the question to He Shaochuan.

Seeing that the temptation in He Shaochuan’s eyes disappeared, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I heard He Shaochuan’s gentle voice: “Yes, I know.”

When he was repairing the roof of Ning He’s house, Ning He didn’t even leave the room. He guessed that he didn’t like him, so it was normal for him to forget.

“Alright, alright, let’s go out quickly. Lin Bao must be waiting anxiously outside.”

Ning He really didn’t dare to stay alone with He Shaochuan any longer. She was afraid that if she said one more word, there would be another mistake.

Once the seed of doubt was planted, she was done.

When Ning He walked around He Shaochuan and was about to open the door, He Shaochuan grabbed her wrist.

The man’s broad palm was placed on her wrist. Ning He could even feel the thin calluses on the man’s palm, which was stroking her face panel.

It was itchy and made her cheeks feel hot.

Ning He cleared her throat and didn’t dare to look back at him. Instead, she asked softly, “Anything else?”

He Shaochuan stared at the woman’s slender back with his deep eyes: “Are you no longer angry?”

It turned out that he was asking about what happened last night. Ning He breathed a sigh of relief: “Well, husband and wife don’t hold grudges overnight.”

“So, can we move back?”

Ning He looked back at He Shaochuan in surprise and asked him tentatively: “Do you want me to move back?”

She watched the man’s tan face gradually turn red, and she could no longer hold back her laughter.

He Shaochuan looked at the woman in front of him at a loss for a moment. She was smiling with curved eyebrows and looked very charming.

The uncomfortable feeling in my heart also disappeared.

“You said that husband and wife should live together.” He Shaochuan obviously still remembered what Ning He said at the time.

Ning He snorted and said deliberately: “Oh, so it’s not you who wants me to move back? You want to tell me that you listen to me, right?”

He Shaochuan’s expression changed, and he explained to Ning He in a somewhat anxious tone: “Of course not, I want you to move back.”

Ning He smiled with her lips pursed, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks were faintly visible when she smiled. He Shaochuan quickly looked away and looked elsewhere.

He cleared his throat and his voice softened inadvertently: “Qianlin will grab the quilt when he sleeps at night, but I won’t.”

The smile in Ning He’s eyes grew deeper and deeper. No, she could no longer hold it in.

Ning He opened the door and ran out quickly. A light and pleasant laughter sounded in the main room.

Qianlin asked curiously: “Mom, what did you and Dad talk about in there? What jokes did you tell that made Mom laugh so happily! I want to know too!”

Ning He deliberately raised his voice and said, “Your father said that Linbao would grab the quilt when he went to bed at night. Your father asked me to sleep with him at night, and he didn’t grab the quilt.”

Qianlin, who was slandered by He Shaochuan, was unhappy and ran to the bedroom.

Qianlin looked at He Shaochuan with dissatisfaction and confronted him: “Dad, why did you tell Mom that I would grab the quilt? I sleep very well!”

He Shaochuan looked away and said calmly, “You were sleeping so soundly, how could you have any impression?”

Qianlin was unconvinced: “I remember! I didn’t grab the quilt at all!”

“You do. Besides, don’t you want to be a man anymore?” He Shaochuan asked back.

Qianlin responded without hesitation: “Of course I want to be one!”

He Shaochuan nodded: “A man should sleep alone.”

Qianlin was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect his father to say that.

He retorted anxiously: “Then if Daddy sleeps with Mommy, he is not a man!”

“Well, I’m not.” He Shaochuan responded shamelessly.

Then he walked out of the bedroom without looking back.

Qianlin was left alone in the messy bedroom.

Ning He was in a very good mood and brought out some cold noodles and asked them to come and eat.

Who would have thought that Qianlin came out of the bedroom with a look of grievance on his face, pouting his lips and looking at Ning He aggrievedly.

“Mom, I…” Qianlin couldn’t finish his words.

“He Qianlin, eat!” He Shaochuan gave him a warning look.

Qianlin quickly put away his aggrieved expression and sat quietly in the chair eating cold noodles.

Ning He felt that He Shaochuan was too strict with Qianlin, but she didn’t want to discuss parenting issues with He Shaochuan in front of Qianlin.

After all, she had suffered a loss last night, so she had to have a good talk with He Shaochuan this time.

Dinner was quickly finished and He Shaochuan was still responsible for washing the dishes.

Today is the day the bathhouse is open, He Shaochuan asked Ning He to go wash first, and after he finished washing the dishes, he would take Qian Lin over to wash.

Ning He was happy to do it. After giving Qian Lin a few instructions, she carried the red plastic bucket and went to the bathhouse.
