Chapter 44 - The Confused Little Wife
"Heh, other than you, who else can be the head of the Shen family? I can't marry anyone but you! So, Mu Sheng, stop being so weird with the Grandmother, and don't be so stubborn, you will not have a good ending if you go against him like this. Moreover, do you think that Qin Ruo Chu really loves you? Mu Sheng, the only one who truly loves you is me! " Qiao Yi Tong almost lost his mind.
From start to finish, Shen Mu Sheng had never once turned his head to look at her. The moment Qiao Yi Tong's tears fell, Shen Mu Sheng finally spoke indifferently, "This is a matter between us husband and wife, there's no need for you to worry. I still have to go and pick up Ruo Chu, so I won't talk to you any longer. "
Just as he finished speaking, Shen Mu Sheng raised his leg and left. Qiao Yi Tong looked at the figure with misty eyes, her chest moving up and down intensely due to sadness and unwillingness. Qiao Yi Tong clenched her fist tightly, and her fair and slender arm shook with force.
"Shen Mu Sheng, you can't treat me like this … You can't, you can't! " Qiao Yi Tong bit her teeth so hard that they almost shattered as she squeezed these words out of her mouth.
Qiao Yi Tong's scarlet eyes slightly narrowed, as if she had made her decision.
When Shen Mu Sheng came out of the courtyard, he strode across the corridor and the hall and quickly appeared in front of Shen Mu Qiao's room.
The door that was opened to both sides was pushed open gently. Shen Mu Sheng walked in and looked in.
Unconsciously easing his footsteps, Shen Mu Sheng walked to the side of the bed.
Among the two people on the bed, Shen Mu Qiao was sleeping soundly with a big belly, and her heavy breathing was practically the only thing that could be heard in the room.
Shen Mu Sheng stretched out his hand, passed through Qin Ruo Chu's leg and neck, and with a slight use of strength, he lifted up the originally light Qin Ruo Chu.
As for Qin Ruo Chu, he was not asleep yet, he only had his eyes closed and was thinking about something. Perhaps he was too focused, and actually did not hear the sound of Shen Mu Sheng's door opening or the sound of his footsteps.
Only when he was gently lifted up, did Qin Ruo Chu let out a soft sigh.
"Mu Sheng, you're back …" Qin Ruo Chu opened his eyes and saw a familiar face.
In the next second, Qin Ruo Chu covered his mouth and turned to look at Shen Mu Qiao.
Fortunately, Shen Mu Qiao was dead asleep and did not show any signs of being disturbed.
"It's nothing, a pregnant person sleeps soundly …" Shen Mu Sheng said. Although he said that, Shen Mu Sheng still turned and carried Qin Ruo Chu.
When they finally left Shen Mu Qiao's room, Qin Ruo Chu said, "Put me down, it won't be good if others see this later on …" Because Old Lady Shen's attitude, made Qin Ruo Chu a little afraid.
However, other than closing the door for Shen Mu Qiao, Shen Mu Sheng did not have the intention of stopping, "So what if others see it, it's legal to carry your own wife." Shen Mu Sheng said righteously.
Qin Ruo Chu could not help but smile, thinking that other than the servants, no one else in the Shen Mansion had seen him, he felt relieved and wrapped his arms around Shen Mu Sheng's neck, burying his face in Shen Mu Sheng's warm chest.
Shen Mu Sheng walked with steady, unhurried steps. After a long while, Qin Ruo Chu's stifled voice came from his chest.
"Grandmother... Did I make things difficult for you? " Qin Ruo Chu did not look up as he spoke.
Shen Mu Sheng lowered his head to look at Qin Ruo Chu, who was in his embrace, and knew that his wife was feeling wronged because of Old Lady Shen's previous attitude.
"No, and besides... She no longer has the ability to make things difficult for me. " Shen Mu Sheng said.
Arriving at his courtyard once again, Shen Mu Sheng felt that it was a little strange. He didn't know how long it had been since he stayed at his courtyard.
"From the first day of our ancestors' sacrifice, we will be staying here. We haven't stayed here for quite some time, so you should feel a bit wronged for now." Shen Mu Sheng carried Qin Ruo Chu into the room and spoke as they walked.
After Qin Ruo Chu heard his words, she pulled her head out from his chest. It was as if she had calmed down and did not notice anything wrong.
Qin Ruo Chu looked at the simple and spacious room, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
"I think it's pretty good. Someone must clean it regularly. Besides, this is where you've lived since you were young, isn't it?" Qin Ruo Chu raised his head and looked at Shen Mu Sheng.
Shen Mu Sheng placed her on the bed, covering her with a new blanket. "Rest well, get up early, you should be tired now."
"What about you?" Qin Ruo Chu thought that Shen Mu Sheng would leave after instructing her to rest, and anxiously asked.
Shen Mu Sheng chuckled, "I'm not going anywhere, I'll accompany you to rest."
"Alright …" Qin Ruo Chu revealed a bright smile.
The two of them laid down on the bed like this. Shen Mu Sheng carried Qin Ruo Chu in his arms.
Qin Ruo Chu rested his head on Shen Mu Sheng's arm, his eyebrows were deep and beautiful, as if he was holding back the words in his heart, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
In the end, Shen Mu Sheng couldn't bear to see her so conflicted, he opened his mouth and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I will answer any questions you have." Qin Ruo Chu pouted, "No, I have nothing to say."
Shen Mu Sheng smiled and did not speak.
Three seconds later, Qin Ruo Chu got up with a grunt, his eyebrows still knitted, and Shen Mu Sheng sat up, "What, do you have something to say?"
Qin Ruo Chu pouted and pouted, "Nothing much, just … It's just that I feel that the Grandmother does not like me, did I not perform well? "
Qin Ruo Chu's worried look made Shen Mu Sheng's heart hurt and he loved his, "Fool, it's fine if she doesn't like you, and furthermore, you don't need her to like you." Shen Mu Sheng reached out and hooked Qin Ruo Chu into his embrace.
Qin Ruo Chu leaned into Shen Mu Sheng's embrace, pursed his lips, and thought about it, "Perhaps it's because Grandmother doesn't understand me, but if I stay with him for a while longer, perhaps Grandmother will fall for me." Qin Ruo Chu said with a serious face.
Shen Mu Sheng caught Qin Ruo Chu's chin, and pecked at her little mouth, "You dare?" When he said that, Qin Ruo Chu's mouth twitched, and she acted like a deflated ball. Yeah, she didn't dare to do that.
