Chapter 193 It turns out that President Shang is not as cold-blooded as the rumors say.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the Bai family was silent. Several members of the family took turns to keep watch, while the others found places to rest.
The heavy snow that had been falling all day had lost its momentum by this time, with only a few flakes still struggling.
Shang Qichao's driver was waiting at the gate, accompanied by an orthopedic surgeon and a nurse.
Shang Qichao injured his ankle and needed to go to the hospital for treatment at night.
Shang Jianghan and Shen Chaoxi watched the black stretched Rolls-Royce blend into the night before turning around and getting into the Maybach.
The driver was driving and Yu Dong was sitting in the passenger seat.
After getting in the car, the moment the engine started, Shen Chaoxi couldn't help but look back at the Bai family villa wrapped in silver-white snow.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a black figure standing on the high platform of the villa, looking towards the door.
Shen Chaoxi was unsure for a moment. When the car drove out of the villa area, she thought about where that figure belonged.
In the entire funeral hall, who else could wear black like a noble lady except Bai Jinyu?
She did not confirm this speculation.
As soon as Shang Jianghan got in the car, she closed her eyes and began to rest, but a big hand held her hand tightly.
Next to my ears was the sound of a man's even breathing.
No matter how strong he appears to be, he will only let himself go when he is alone and only has people he trusts around him.
After a short break, Yu Dong thanked Shen Chaoxi through the rearview mirror.
Shen Chaoxi was puzzled.
Then, Yu Dong's eyes flickered and then filled with joy.
"Panpan canceled her application to study abroad and decided to stay in Lianzhong!"
Since the other party has expressed his gratitude, can I be the one who can make Zhao Panpan change his mind?
Shen Chaoxi realized it later.
"I didn't say anything. But congratulations, it's time to put the wedding on the agenda, right?"
"Yes, we will get the marriage certificate after we meet each other's parents during the Chinese New Year. The new house is also being renovated and we will move in on May Day at the earliest. There is no rush for the wedding."
It's a rare sight, Yu Dong smoothed his short hair, revealing his boyish side.
Sure enough, love can make people go back from maturity to childishness.
The hand on the side felt a layer of fine pressure, Shen Chaoxi glanced over and found that the man had woken up without knowing when.
"Did I wake you up?" Shen Chaoxi lowered his voice.
"No, go home and sleep again." The man's voice was hoarse, and he pinched his brow with his other hand. He looked tired but calm.
Yu Dong shut up and turned to look at the road ahead.
A heavy snowstorm closed several roads, causing traffic congestion.
When passing Weimin Street, Shang Jianghan asked the driver to take a detour to the apartment ahead.
Yu Dong understood and was flattered.
"Mr. Shang, let's take you and your wife home first."
"No, you've been busy all day and all night, go back and rest early. You don't have to go to the Bai family tomorrow, go directly to the group. Call me if you have anything."
The old man of the Bai family passed away and Shang Qichao was injured, so Lianzhong Group must have a leader.
"Yes."
The Maybach turned a corner and stopped at the entrance of the community.
Yu Dong got out of the car, said a few words to the driver and left.
As the Maybach continued on its way, Shen Chaoxi put his arm around the man's arm and rubbed his face against his fine shirt.
Like a lazy little kitty!
"What's wrong?" The man reached out and touched the girl's silky cheek.
"It turns out that President Shang is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors say!"
After Shen Chaoxi said this, she realized that she had said something wrong and stuck out her tongue out of the man's sight.
The Maybach passed through a blind spot of a street lamp. It was dark outside, but the car model reflected light well, revealing the girl's expression clearly.
Shang Jianghan chuckled twice, which made people feel happy.
The driver in front curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.
The journey that should have taken more than half an hour took one and a half hours.
When Shen Chaoxi covered his mouth with the back of his hand and yawned again, they finally arrived home.
Mrs. Liu prepared a pot of hot soup and left.
They both took a shower and drank a bowl of soup, but fatigue quickly set in.
Lying on the bed, on the verge of falling asleep, I heard Shang Jianghan's somewhat distant voice echoing in the room.
"A few years ago, I could work for two days and two nights on a collaborative project without feeling tired, but now I can't stand it any longer."
Shen Chaoxi's brain froze. He didn't quite understand what he meant. He thought he was sad about something, so his brain started to pump as if water was pouring out, and the words came out of his mouth.
"I'm old!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent, and the rhythmic ticking sound of the Western pendulum clock became infinitely amplified.
Shen Chaoxi raised his head, and his black eyes met a pair of smiling black eyes.
She was still dazed, and the big hand on her waist increased its strength.
呲!
"What's the matter?" Shen Chaoxi felt so wronged after being subjected to domestic violence in the middle of the night.
The little mouth was pouting high.
Shang Jianghan retracted his strength and looked down at her with narrowed eyes.
"Let's talk about it, who is old?"
"Ah?" Shen Chaoxi realized that he had spoken out of turn: "Well, they, for example, your father, he said today that when people get older, their bones become brittle, so they will fracture if they twist their bones!"
A completely irrelevant answer!
After a while, Shang Jianghan sighed. If it weren't for the recent busy schedule that made him lose interest, the girl in his arms would definitely be in trouble tonight!
While drowsy, Shen Chaoxi had no idea that he had escaped a disaster.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Shang Jianghan came out of the study after a regular video meeting and saw that Shen Chaoxi had already gotten up and prepared clothes for going out today.
"Will you need a vigil tonight?"
Seeing Shang Jianghan come in, Shen Chaoxi asked.
The coffin will be sent to the cemetery early tomorrow morning. There are few people in the Bai family, so Shen Chaoxi guessed that Shang Jianghan would need to stay behind.
If she needed to keep watch all night, she would need to prepare an extra set of clothes for Shang Jianghan.
Sure enough, Shang Jianghan hesitated.
"It depends on the situation. If you don't come back, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."
"Ah."
After saying that, Shang Jianghan went into the bathroom. He was sweating after exercising in the training room for a while.
Ten minutes later, Shang Jianghan came out of a quick shower, holding a white hanger with underwear hanging on it.
"Did you wash this?"
There was no special expression on Shang Jianghan's face when he asked this question.
Shen Chaoxi had just come out of the locker room and changed into a black turtleneck sweater. When she saw the underwear in Shang Jianghan's hand, she immediately blushed.
Last night, the two of them took showers separately. Shang Jianghan used the outer bathroom. When Shen Chaoxi was taking a shower, he found that she had washed the underwear that she had casually hung on the washstand.
At that time, she was thankful that she was not discovered by the person involved, and thought that she must put it away later.
Washing underwear for my husband is a very common thing, but I am shy and it takes time to get used to it.
Who knew that I had forgotten about this!
Now, being so clearly exposed, Shen Chaoxi felt so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"Ah!" Shen Chaoxi's heart was shaking violently. He went back to the locker room and took out a smaller size of dirty clothes basket.
She handed over the white plastic vine-woven clothes basket, which already contained the two people's underwear.
"Take off your underwear and put it in there. I'll wash it when I have time. Don't let Auntie see it."
The underwear basket is placed in the dressing room, where the owner's valuable clothes and jewelry are stored, and people are generally not allowed to enter.
Seeing the man standing there, staring at her with a faint smile, especially when he was holding the underwear in his hand and rubbing the fabric subconsciously, the heat on Shen Chaoxi's cheeks instantly spread to her neck.
