Chapter 105: So What, Was That Something to Be Proud Of?

“You’re back.”

Shen Qingxuan just walked out after using the bathroom and saw Jiang Yubing enter carrying breakfast.

“Time for breakfast, husband.”

He accepted the breakfast Jiang Yubing handed over and looked puzzled.

It was all eggs.

He guessed they did not really expect him to replenish what he lacked.

Shen Qingxuan did not question her, believing his wife had her reasons.

He ate whatever was there and was never picky.

After Jiang Yubing peeled an egg, she held it to his lips, and he took a bite.

Only then she spoke in a calm voice, “Husband, when do you have time so we can go to the South City?”

“The South City?”

Shen Qingxuan even forgot to chew for a moment.

He wondered whether Bingbing wanted to go home.

The last time they went back was a month ago.

It was indeed time for a visit.

“Mm.”

Jiang Yubing nodded and said, “I want to pray to the Child-Giving Guanyin.”

Shen Qingxuan let out a sound of surprise.

“Aren’t we going home?”

Jiang Yubing explained, “My belly has stayed quiet for so long, so I want to pray.”

The corner of Shen Qingxuan’s mouth twitched.

“Then when will our wedding take place?”

The two families originally agreed to let them marry after they graduated from college.

One reason was to give them enough time to adjust, for they had no emotional foundation back then.

Another was that after graduation, Shen Qingxuan could fully take over the company tasks.

Plans seemed unable to keep up with changes now.

They could not allow a pregnancy before marriage and make Bingbing wed while holding a child.

Jiang Yubing’s hand that was peeling the eggshell paused.

That idiot husband did not mention it.

She almost forgot they were not married yet.

Yet in this situation there did not seem to be much difference.

Jiang Yubing asked tentatively, “How about moving it forward?”

Shen Qingxuan chuckled and said, “Are you that eager to marry me?”

Just as Jiang Yubing frowned and tried to speak, Shen Qingxuan spoke again, “Who is eager to marry you?”

“I simply wanted to test your attitude.”

“I didn’t expect you to hesitate, husband.”

After speaking, Shen Qingxuan folded his arms and turned his face away.

“…”

She muttered inwardly, “Bro…”

“That was my line!”

“What was I supposed to say after you stole it?”

Shen Qingxuan curled his lips and said, “Wife, how was that? Did I imitate you well?”

“Whether it looked alike I don’t know, but you are about to suffer.”

Looking at the cocky expression on that idiot husband’s face, Jiang Yubing laughed inwardly.

She thought that since he could guess what she wanted to say, he should also guess her next move.

Shen Qingxuan sensed trouble and silently cried out.

When Jiang Yubing’s hand moved toward his waist, Shen Qingxuan immediately apologized, “Wife, I was wrong.”

“I am already behaving, please spare me.”

“Husband, too late~”

Jiang Yubing gave a playful smile and pinched his waist.

Shen Qingxuan was baffled.

The strength felt wrong; he did not feel any pain.

He wondered whether it was only an illusion.

Damn.

That meant he could be done for.

Back in high school.

Zhang Yunhao often slept during class.

No one knew whether he went home to steal cattle or something.

Even so, Shen Qingxuan always gently reminded him, “Young man, don’t be too boring, watch out or your life will end.”

Afterwards Zhang Yunhao even replied shamelessly, “To die beneath a peony…”

While he was lost in thought, the force on his waist suddenly increased.

Only then did Shen Qingxuan realize that Bingbing had not used her full strength earlier.

As the pressure grew stronger, he quickly pretended to be in great pain and said, “Wife, I was really wrong.”

“Your acting is great, but don’t act next time.”

Watching his exaggerated performance, Jiang Yubing giggled.

She only scared that idiot husband, so she did not use much force.

“Was it that obvious?”

Shen Qingxuan let out two awkward laughs.

He felt he acted quite convincingly.

“Is this still acting?”

Jiang Yubing increased the pressure of her hand.

Shen Qingxuan immediately wore a mask of pain, “Wife, if you press any harder, you won’t see your dear husband again.”

“Then I will just find another one.”

She withdrew her hand and smiled brightly at him.

Shen Qingxuan looked confused.

That line sounded very familiar to him.

He thought he had heard it somewhere before.

He did not think further and began discussing the wedding with Jiang Yubing.

After finishing their meal, the two did not go out to play.

There was nowhere interesting to go anyway, since it rained outside.

They played two rounds of games together, then cuddled closely and slept for a while.

They slept until the afternoon before they woke up.

Sleeping on a rainy day felt truly comfortable.

They went to the front desk, checked out the room, and walked out of the hotel hand in hand.

It was the weekend, and they planned that morning to visit home.

Before long, they set off.

The two arrived at the gate of the house in a Maybach.

Looking at the familiar gate, Shen Qingxuan felt a surge of emotion.

The last time he was driven out, and this time he swore to reclaim everything he lost.

He, Shen Qingxuan, wanted to return in glory today.

Bang! Firecrackers sounded.

Shen Qingxuan raised his hand high and shouted.

Jiang Yubing covered her mouth and giggled behind him.

That idiot husband was so childish.

Shen Qingxuan waited a long time without hearing anything, turned around, and looked at Uncle Li in confusion, “Where are the firecrackers, Uncle Li?”

“Cough, cough…”

Uncle Li coughed a few times.

He did not know how to answer this question.

His miss told him not to buy them, yet Young Master Shen told him to buy them.

Either choice would offend someone.

After struggling for a long time, he finally chose to obey his miss.

Therefore he bought none.

Jiang Yubing noticed his dilemma and said quickly, “I didn’t let Uncle Li buy them.”

Uncle Li felt immensely grateful when he heard that.

He truly followed the right person.

While Shen Qingxuan looked disappointed, a voice came from the courtyard.

“If you’re here, then come in; what’s with all the noise?”

Without thinking, they knew it was Lin Yun’s voice.

When she walked out, Jiang Yubing quickly called, “Mom.”

That word made Lin Yun pause.

After recovering, she shouted loudly, “Old Shen, come out, our daughter-in-law is here!”

She then walked toward Jiang Yubing.

“Bingbing is here!”

“That brat didn’t even tell Mom.”

As Lin Yun passed Shen Qingxuan, she glared at him.

“Mom, you are playing favorites.”

“I am your biological son.”

Shen Qingxuan felt very dissatisfied, facing favoritism once again.

And it came from his own mother.

She doted on him so much when he was little.

She feared he might bump into something whenever he went out.

“All right, I know you are my son.”

“So what? Are you very proud of that?”

Lin Yun spoke perfunctorily.

Earlier, when Shen Qingxuan phoned to say he would come, she asked Bingbing whether she would follow.

At that time she was told she would stay behind.

Judging by the situation now, she was obviously tricked.

Lin Yun walked up to Uncle Li and greeted him, “You must be the Uncle Li Little Xuan mentioned; please come in and sit.”

They exchanged a few polite words afterward.

Jiang Yubing stepped forward and said with a smile, “Mom, the things I bought for you are still in the trunk; we haven’t taken them out yet.”

Lin Yun took her hand and said, “We’re all family; why spend that money?” then added, “Bingbing, come inside with Mom.”

Seeing her gaze fall on her son, Lin Yun instantly understood.

Ignoring Shen Qingxuan’s wails, she assigned him the task of moving the items.
