Chapter 25：

In the early morning, the warm sunlight shone through the thin clouds into the window, Shen Xiangyan was in a good mood and gently fiddled with Xia Rong's eyelashes with his fingers. Xia Rong's eyelashes were slender and curled up, and every time Xia Rong lowered her head slightly and blinked her eyes, Shen Xiangyan felt itchy in her heart, and couldn't help but want to touch the eyelashes that were not helping to incite and disturb people's hearts.

Xia Rong, who was sleeping soundly at the moment, was completely unaware of what he was doing. Without hesitation, Shen Xiangyan touched the eyelashes that were quiet because the master was asleep at the moment with his fingers.

Shen Xiangyan was addicted to doing this, until he realized that Xia Rong was about to open his eyes, then he withdrew his hand resentfully, and said "Good morning" to his little husband as if nothing happened just now.

In fact, when Shen Xiangyan fiddled with his eyelashes just now, Xia Rong had already woken up. However, when he woke up in the morning, he often found that Xianggong was touching him somewhere, either grabbing his fingers, or touching his earlobe, and once he even found that Xianggong was playing with a lock of his hair. non-stop.

But whenever he wakes up at this time, Xianggong will act as if nothing happened just now, and then avoid his eyes for a short time as if nothing happened, but at this time, Xia Rong will be sensitive to the fact that Xianggong will leak for a moment. Showing a slightly disappointed expression, like a child who lost his beloved toy, Xia Rong thought it was a little funny for him to have such a thought.

So after a long time, when Xia Rong wakes up, she will pretend not to be awake first, so as to satisfy Xianggong's little thought. Xia Rong straightened up her body proudly in her heart, he is a good and considerate husband.

Today is also the same as usual, until he felt that it was really not good to be sorry, then he opened his eyes. Of course, she returned a sweet "Good morning" to him as if she hadn't noticed his abnormality.

After Shen Xiangyan had breakfast, he went out to go out for a walk, and after checking the account books for the past few days, he stopped by the jewelry store that he and Li Dongsheng were going to open together. The place was chosen on the busiest street. It was a two-story building that was still being renovated. It will take a few days to open, but the name has already been chosen and it will be called Zhuyuexuan.

When Shen Xiangyan was leaving, he ran into Li Dongsheng. As soon as they met, the two had an in-depth discussion on the next development of the jewelry building. After discussing the business, Li Dongsheng started talking about other things. He mentioned that he asked a florist to leave him several pots of camellias of a particularly good variety. Listening to him bragging about the appearance of those potted flowers that there are heaven and earth, Shen Xiangyan was also aroused and wanted to go and see together.

After seeing the flowers, Shen Xiangyan immediately fell in love with them. Not only did he like them, Shen Xiangyan felt that his husband would also like these potted flowers. Then he used a blueprint of jewelry in a very rude manner, and successfully snatched the pots of camellia reserved by Li Dongsheng. Seeing Li Dongsheng's daring and aggrieved appearance, Shen Xiangyan was in an inexplicably good mood.

When Xia Rong saw that her husband had brought back several pots of camellias, she was overwhelmed with novelty. These potted flowers are just blooming buds, when they are about to bloom. It is not difficult to imagine how beautiful they will be when they really bloom. What is rare is that these pots of camellias include a pot of champion red, a pot of sa plum, and even a pot of pink eighteen bachelors.

Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong who lowered his head and sniffed at the camellia, and the hairband with white jade bells hung between his ears as he lowered his head. For a moment, he didn't know whether she was more beautiful than Huajiao or Huaruiren. Shen Xiangyan rubbed his nose, seeing that Xia Rong loved these potted flowers, it was not in vain that he spent so much effort to **** them from Li Dongsheng.

These pots of camellias were naturally to be taken care of by Xia Rong, Shen Xiangyan didn't dare to do it even if he wanted to, he still remembered that in his previous life he raised a pot of cactus, and then died within a few days for no reason. He could die raising a cactus, not to mention such a delicate camellia, he dared not touch it, for fear that the flower would be ruined by him, which would be a pity.

Xia Rong circled the flowers several times before suddenly remembering something and running back to the house. Then Xia Rong dawdled for a while before taking out an invitation card and handing it to Shen Xiangyan.

Shen Xiangyan was full of curiosity about the invitation that Xia Rong took a while to hand in. He took the invitation and looked at it. The inviter written on the invitation was Lu Tingsheng, and the content was to invite him to a meeting at Mingxiang Pavilion the next day. get together. Mingxiang Pavilion is the name of a teahouse. The person who posted the post here seems to be an elegant person. He touched the post with his hand and found that it was made of Huanhua paper, and it also smelled of plum blossoms. The post was well written, and the above points all showed that the inviter attached great importance to this invitation.

Seeing that Shen Xiangyan was puzzled, Xia Rong briefly talked about his relationship with Gu Chen, the relationship between Gu Chen and Lu Tingsheng, and his guess about this invitation card. After speaking, he twisted his sleeves with his hands and lowered his head, waiting The appearance of the sentence.

This invitation was sent by Gu Chen today. As for why Lu Tingsheng invited Shen Xiangyan to have a gathering, Gu Chen was afraid that the person he married would treat him badly, so he wanted to take this opportunity to invite someone who would let Lu Tingsheng take a look at Shen Xiangyan. goods or something.

"In the past, if Brother Gu didn't come to see me often in the Xia family, and would often give me some money and so on so that I could have spare money to reward the servants, my life would not be too easy. Brother Lu and Brother Gu grew up together. We grew up together, and we have met Rong'er a few times, and he is the most polite person." After explaining these few sentences, Xia Rong also felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to use his past to blackmail his husband, but on the one hand, it was Brother Gu's friendship and kindness, and on the other hand, he was the husband who couldn't be better for him.

Now he can only listen to Mr. Xiang. In short, he has already told the matter. If Mr. Xiang wants to go, that's fine. But if Xianggong doesn't want to, then he won't force it. Anyway, Xianggong treats him well, as long as he knows it himself.

After hearing this, Shen Xiangyan also understood Gu Chen's intentions, and presumably he was a person who really cared about Rong'er. Out of reason and reason, he has to go this time, so just treat it as an appointment with "some kind of uncle in name". Shen Xiangyan patted the little husband's head, thought for a while and said, "Okay." , then let’s reply to a post and agree to this matter.”

When Xia Rong heard that her husband agreed, her brows and eyes were stained with a smile. His family's husband was really kind to him. Seeing his husband was happy, Shen Xiangyan was also in a happy mood, but the happiness didn't last for a while, and he began to get nervous.

Xia Fu didn't say anything, he didn't regard the group of people who treated Xia Rong badly as serious relatives at all, if it wasn't for that kindness, neither he nor Xia Rong would be too sincere towards that end. But this time it's different, he has to behave better when facing someone who really treats Xia Rong well. I don't know what the other party is thinking, no matter what, I must leave a good impression on the other party.

—————

Two days later, Shen Xiangyan went to Mingxiang Pavilion for an appointment as scheduled, and opened the private room of the tea house, only to see a man in a royal blue silk shirt sitting inside, this man looked a little thin and pale. But even so, it's hard to conceal the temperament of this man's gentle and handsome son. It seems that this person is the Lu Tingsheng who Xia Rong said was weak and sick since he was a child.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan cupped his hands at him, "I think this is Brother Lu, who is sinking into Xiangyan."

Lu Tingsheng also stood up and bowed politely, "Brother Shen is willing to welcome you together, Tingsheng is not very grateful, please sit down." After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation.

Shen Xiangyan was not hypocritical, after the two of them sat down, there was a waiter serving a pot of tea and a few plates of refreshments. The two casually exchanged a few words, and Lu Tingsheng explained the purpose of today's invitation, "My wife and Mrs. Ling Xia Rong were considered close friends when my wife was in the boudoir, and treated him like a brother. Now that he is married to you, my wife can't help it." I'm a little worried. It's our intention to invite you here, but seeing you today, Chen'er can rest assured if you want to come."

Shen Xiangyan saw that Lu Tingsheng didn't mean to beat around the bush on purpose, but came here by name, which was in line with his temper, so he said something about what was on his mind, "Rong'er also told me what you two had done to him before. A lot of care, today I, as a husband, have the cheek to thank you both for him. Please rest assured, Brother Lu, I Shen Xiangyan dare not say anything else, but I will treat Xia Rong like a treasure, and I will live up to it in this life."

After hearing this, Lu Tingsheng smiled in satisfaction, "I will replace wine with tea, and I respect Brother Chen's words, so my husband and I don't have to worry about it." After speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him with both hands and drank it down.

The next topic became much easier, and the two chatted for nearly half an hour before getting up to say goodbye to each other. After today, Lu Tingsheng will bring Gu Chen back to the Zhuangzi, and before leaving, he even invited Shen Xiangyan to stay in his Zhuangzi for two days if he has time, and it would be a good thing for them to talk at the candle night.
