Chapter 48 - The Late Two
Shen Mu Sheng helped Qin Ruo Chu tidy up the hair beside his ears, then said: "Let's go, you should be hungry …"
Being led by Shen Mu Sheng all the way to the great hall at a leisurely pace, Qin Ruo Chu gently frowned. After all, this was the first time she had officially met with the Shen Family.
Now that Shen Mu Sheng was taking his time, it made her even more anxious, "Mu Sheng, let's go faster okay?" In the end, Qin Ruo Chu could not help but speak.
This didn't matter if he didn't say it, as he said it, not only did Shen Mu Sheng not increase his pace, he even stopped his originally unhappy footsteps. Shen Mu Sheng pulled Qin Ruo Chu in front of her, a hand locking her waist and lowering her head to look at Qin Ruo Chu.
"What's there to be nervous about? It was just a meal. Furthermore, they are all insignificant people and I did not want you to meet them. " Shen Mu Sheng said indifferently, and was about to pinch Qin Ruo Chu's wrinkled nose.
Qin Ruo Chu dodged and pulled down Shen Mu Sheng's big hand. He got a bit angry, "No matter what, they are your relatives, I … I have to pay attention to one thing. "
Shen Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "So … Or because of me? "
Qin Ruo Chu, who was angry and spoke loudly a moment ago, felt embarrassed under Shen Mu Sheng's heated gaze, and quickly avoided his burning gaze.
"Speak …" Seeing Qin Ruo Chu's red face and not saying a word, Shen Mu Sheng got a bit closer, the arm around Qin Ruo Chu's waist also tightened up a bit.
Shen Mu Sheng kissed Qin Ruo Chu's smooth and tender lips, then let go of her waist, reverting back to the way he used to hold her hand shoulder to shoulder.
Seeing that Qin Ruo Chu was panicking, Shen Mu Sheng unconsciously quickened his pace, not because of the people at the table, but because of the girl's frown.
On the other side, in the lobby.
One of the seats was occupied by the Old Lady Shen, while the two seats to the right of the Old Lady Shen were empty. On the other side, Shen Shu Zhou was casually sitting there, and then it was Qiao Yi Tong. And opposite to Qiao Yi Tong, behind the two empty seats, was Shen Mu Qiao and Lu Ting You.
"Did he go to urge them on …" Old Lady Shen said with an ugly expression.
"Reporting to the old granny, I've already …" "It's been three times since I went to urge it …" The servant replied carefully. Hearing this reply, Old Lady Shen's face darkened even more.
"How about we eat first? Don't wait for him, the food is already cold, what a pity." "His little wife is so good-looking. She probably hasn't woken up yet …" Shen Shu Zhou laughed and said, but he did not touch the silver chopsticks.
Old Lady Shen rolled her eyes at Shen Shu Zhou, and did not say another word.
Shen Mu Qiao was already hungry, she was eating two people at the moment, no wonder she wasn't hungry. She stared at the prawn on the table, swallowed her saliva, and turned back to look at Lu Ting You with a pitiful gaze.
Lu Ting You's originally expressionless face, upon seeing Shen Mu Qiao's appearance, revealed a trace of a smile, "Wait a bit longer, I'll be here very soon …" Lu Ting You comforted Shen Mu Qiao softly.
He did not blame Shen Mu Sheng, because he knew that Shen Mu Sheng was the first to show off his might to the entire Shen Family.
Three minutes later, sounds of footsteps finally came from the originally quiet Main Hall, and everyone turned to look in the direction of the door. Sure enough, they saw Shen Mu Sheng's indifferent face, holding Qin Ruo Chu's hand as he walked in.
Although Qin Ruo Chu was a little nervous, he still maintained a polite smile. Everyone's eyes were focused on them, or it could be said that … They were all gathered on Qin Ruo Chu. Amongst these gazes, the majority of them were looking at him with cold eyes, but of course, there were also those smiling eyes like Shen Shu Zhou.
Shen Mu Sheng who was leading Qin Ruo Chu all the way, sat down in front of everyone, and then said: "Sorry, I came late to take care of the work." These words were said by a lot of people, but they were all staring at the dishes on the table.
Qin Ruo Chu was led by Shen Mu Sheng to sit down, and they pulled each other's hand as a form of greeting. Qin Ruo Chu raised his head, scanned the people on the table, and was surprised to find that the strange woman he met in the flower garden this morning was not there, but he unexpectedly found someone else.
Shen Shu Zhou sat opposite to Shen Mu Sheng, since the moment Qin Ruo Chu entered the room, he had been winking at her. In the beginning, Qin Ruo Chu was startled, and did not know how to respond, so she pretended to ignore him, but now, with the table in front of her, it was difficult for her to ignore him.
Qin Ruo Chu could only force a smile on his face, and Shen Shu Zhou hurriedly replied with a big smile. Shen Mu Sheng raised his head and glanced at Shen Shu Zhou.
Shen Shu Zhou pretended not to see it and continued to smile mischievously. Shen Mu Sheng retracted his gaze.
Qin Ruo Chu naturally saw Qiao Yi Tong, who was sitting next to Old Lady Shen. Qiao Yi Tong curled her lips and calmly looked at Qin Ruo Chu.
"Heh, this head of the Shen family is really arrogant. Our family has been waiting for half an hour." A woman's slightly dissatisfied voice sounded. Qin Ruo Chu turned to look.
He saw a woman, dressed in gaudy clothes, dressed in silver and gold, sitting at the dining table, looking at him with a slightly disgusted expression.
Wang Xiu Yun's words were obviously spoken for Shen Mu Sheng to hear, but from the beginning to the end, Shen Mu Sheng did not cast his gaze over, as if he did not hear anything.
"Eat then, if you don't, then scram!" Old Lady Shen slapped the table, she was obviously angry, but Qin Ruo Chu was shocked by the sudden sound, and did not dare say another word.
At this time, Shen Mu Sheng picked up the silver chopsticks beside him, picked up a prawn from the bowl and started to peel the prawn with his fork. When everyone saw Shen Mu Sheng move the chopsticks, they all picked up the chopsticks.
Shen Mu Qiao was so hungry that he grabbed his chopsticks and started to eat, not caring about his image anymore. Qin Ruo Chu laughed, and watched as Lu Ting You cooked for her, telling her to slow down.
Just as Qin Ruo Chu was feeling envious, a peeled shrimp fell into her bowl. Qin Ruo Chu raised his head to look at Shen Mu Sheng.
Qin Ruo Chu's heart was moved, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. That's right, she didn't need to be envious of Shen Mu Qiao and Lu Ting You, because Shen Mu Sheng loved her even more …
Qin Ruo Chu smiled as he stuffed the prawns into his mouth. However, just as he was about to speak, Old Lady Shen's voice sounded.
"Hmph, a dignified man, and the manager of the Shen family. He actually condescended to feed a woman without any chance of survival …" Old Lady Shen looked at Shen Mu Sheng and said.
