There was a smile at the end of his voice, and his boastfulness made everyone sitting around the sofa frown.
LiShuang didn't look back, her nerves were already tense: [I'm afraid this is...]
BaJie: [Yes.]
ShenJi's eyes swept across the back of her head that was exposed behind the sofa, and he unconsciously curled his lips into a slight smile. Just by looking at the back of her head, he could tell that she was extremely nervous.
"Why do you all look so dead? Did you guess wrong? Did a happy event turn into a funeral?"
ShenJi teased as he walked closer with his long legs. He was almost 1.9 meters tall and had a well-trained inverted triangle body.
He already gave people enough pressure.
But the black **guard** that followed him in was more than two meters tall, which made people's breathing slow down.
ShenJi had his hands in his pockets, exuding aggression. His pair of dark eyes seemed to be glued to LiShuang, like a beast lurking in the darkness that had spotted its prey.
Shen Guang's cheeks were puffed up by his teeth, and finally his eyes dimmed and he became unusually polite.
"You're back."
Then he motioned to the servant behind him: "Go and ask the old man to come out."
Under the gaze of several people, ShenJi walked straight to the back of LiShuang's sofa.
His palm fell on her shoulder neither lightly nor heavily, and his fingertips tapped rhythmically.
"They are all mute, why didn't you even say hello?"
LiShuang's long curly eyelashes trembled, her eyes swept over the two elders, and she swallowed helplessly.
[How did he manage to have an incompletely developed brain and completely undeveloped cerebellum! ]
BaJie laughed along, but he also complained: [You can only curse in your heart. If he hears you, I guess your brain and cerebellum are incomplete.]
ShenJi bit his cheek.
He heard every word.
His palm moved along her shoulder line to her neck, holding her chin and tilting her head back, narrowing his eyes and showing a wicked smile.
"Are you pretending to be dumb? We are so close that we are already in bed together, who are you acting for?"
ShenYuci raised his hand and gently grasped LiShuang's waist, pulling her towards him and away from his shackles.
LiShuang still looked calm and composed on the surface, but no matter how brave she was, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to **hide her face** in front of someone who was considered her elder.
[If I stay here any longer in this atmosphere, I'll almost feel cold in my **uterus**…]
ShenYuci looked at ShenJi, his eyes instantly turned red and full of resentment.
"She's my fiancée, watch your attitude."
ShenJi smiled wickedly.
"I accept that she is disrespectful, but what is your identity? What is your attitude?"
He lowered his back, patted LiShuang's shoulders lightly with his palms, and glanced at ShenYuci's mutilated face with a provocative look.
"Isn't he a good grandson of the Shen family who never fights or competes? Why did you snatch someone from my bed as soon as you made a move?"
LiShuang listened to his soft voice, but it was right next to her ear, so it was hard to ignore his inconsistency.
She shook shoulders and shook off his hand, her voice cold.
"My uncle likes to joke, but don't take it too far."
Hua Xiaolian sat there clutching the handkerchief she was using to wipe her tears, and the look she gave LiShuang was full of resentment towards her.
His only son.
The only heir of the Shen family.
How can you marry a fickle woman?
But thinking of ShenYuci's previous threatening insistence, and now that he was seriously injured, why didn't he stay in the hospital but had to come back, she was afraid that she would be bullied.
Thinking of this, Hua Xiaolian swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth so as not to irritate him.
ShenJi completely ignored the gazes of others, and when he spoke, the ambiguous breath lightly sprinkled on the hair on her ear.
"You're calling me uncle? A new nickname for me?"
LiShuang finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned her head to glare at him.
[You are sick! I can't stand it! ]
BaJie: [I am just a leader, please don't be mean to me…]
ShenJi smiled and narrowed his eyes, rubbing the skin of her neck with his fingertips: "You can't stand such a joke? I thought you were very capable."
He took a step at the right time.
But everyone present knew what the relationship between LiShuang and him was, and their faces looked unhappy.
Especially LiZeshou, whose face turned livid.
Did he come to the Shen family with such a daughter in such a high-profile manner to discuss marriage?
It's so shameful!
My good mood was completely ruined because of ShenJi's "joke"!
LiShuang felt uncomfortable sitting there.
Listening to the two families' polite conversation, ShenJi sat alone on the sofa, like a big boss listening to a meeting.
BaJie: [Master, do you want to go out for some fresh air? ]
LiShuang subconsciously glanced at ShenJi, and coincidentally, he was also looking at her.
She withdrew her gaze, stood up to interrupt the conversation, said hello politely, and left first.
BaJie: [My Lord, you run really fast these few steps! ]
LiShuang followed the servant, but was much faster than the servant: [Haha, if Cao Zhi had my steps, he would have reached home long ago. ]
She left early, which resulted in the old man not being able to meet her even after being invited down by the servant.
The servant finally caught up with her.
"Miss Li, you like flowers. Mr. Shen has planted a yard full of them. Can I take you to see them?"
LiShuang politely refused: "No thanks."
The servant then said, "Do you want to go to the piano room to have a look? The master's collection is also there."
LiShuang has learned some piano and is quite interested in it.
Pushing open a door, there are many musical instruments inside, including piano, harp and violin.
An entire glass display case on the wall is filled with trophies and honors. In one of the display cases, there is a photo album and a knitted doll.
There is nothing else to comment on the doll except that it is ugly and **clumsy**.
Among a pile of glittering objects, it stands out and is inconspicuous.
The servant smiled and said, "This was given to you when you were a child, and you have kept it carefully ever since."
LiShuang was surprised for a moment.
Looking at how ugly it looks, it was probably made by the original owner himself.
[Men are really easy to hook. Sometimes you can get them by just giving them a bottle of water, but if you give them an ugly doll, **ShenJi** will be so fascinated that he will quit.]
ShenJi put his fingertips on his temple, leaned lazily on the sofa, crossed his long legs, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ugly doll?
Did she give it to me?
Then it will burn later.
LiShuang didn't care about their past. She walked to the piano without putting the lid down. She raised and lowered her wrist gracefully, and her fingertips lightly touched the piano keys.
The servant said softly, "This piano room has been specially renovated and is completely soundproof. Miss Li doesn't have to worry about disturbing anyone. You can play with the door closed."
LiShuang nodded and sat down, pressing down the hem of her skirt.
[I haven't played the piano for many years. I was reluctant to practice, but now I feel like practicing.]
She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and a smooth and beautiful melody flowed out from her slender fingertips.
I know the tune by heart and **sing** the lyrics softly in my mind.
ShenJi tapped the leather sofa beside him with his fingertips from time to time and closed his eyes in enjoyment.
During lunch, LiShuang saw the person she wanted to see most today.
The old man of the Shen family sat in the main seat. He was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, with the skin and flesh on his chin obviously sagging. He was dressed very neatly and looked no different from a normal old man.
LiShuang noticed that his eyes drifted towards ShenJi from time to time.
His eyes seemed filled with endless reluctance to speak.
LiShuang looked at ShenJi again.
He looked even more indifferent and cold than usual. Even though he knew the old man was looking at him and even reminded him to eat his food, he remained indifferent and did not even bother to return his gaze.
Shen Guang reminded in a low voice.
"Dad, this is LiShuang, Yu Ci's fiancée. I brought her back today to meet you."
Only then did Mr. Shen turn his gaze to LiShuang and nodded, his voice hoarse and his speech slow.
"I remember, I used to come here to play when I was little, now I'm this big now."
LiShuang nodded obediently: "Hello, Grandpa."
ShenJi heard her talking and looked over, his look carrying an ambiguous meaning.
Mr. Shen's hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
"LiShuang, come to my room after dinner. I want to talk to you."
LiShuang was eager to answer directly.
"Good."
