Chapter 11 Returning
Chen Zhi was also thinking about this problem.

How are you going to spend tonight?

If it was him in his previous life, when he got married at this time, he would be looking forward to having a wife, and the two of them would be able to depend on each other in the future, and consummating the marriage would come naturally.

But now, the situation is different.

I don't think so.

But you can't leave.

After getting married, according to the rules, they have to stay together for the first few days. If he hasn't accompanied his wife back home yet, he won't stay overnight. If this gets out, Xu Shuhe will be embarrassed and ridiculed.

There is no grudge or hatred between them. Xu Shuhe's beauty died young in the previous life because of him. Chen Zhi would not do such a thing to harm others.

"Husband, go wash up first. You've been tired all day."

At this time, Xu Shuhe's voice sounded.

Chen Zhi came back to his senses, feeling a little uncomfortable. He clenched the hands hidden in his sleeves, then nodded.

Whatever the case, we're going to live together anyway.

However, when he was mentally prepared and came back from bathing, he saw two quilts neatly laid out on the couch, and Xu Shuhe was lying in the inner quilt with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

Ok?
Didn't wait for him?
Chen Zhi is a little confused.

"Master."

Suddenly, a low voice sounded from behind.

Chen Zhi was shocked and shuddered. He turned around and saw that it was Xinyue. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm here to bring you some soothing soup. Madam just said she had a headache and felt unwell." Xinyue said as she stretched her head to look inside and muttered, "How come she fell asleep in a short while."

Hearing this, Chen Zhi's heart couldn't help but relax, and then he waved his hand.

"Since she's asleep, don't wake her up. Take the soup away. If she still feels unwell tomorrow morning, ask the doctor to come and see her."

"Yes." Xinyue nodded and walked out silently.

He also lowered the curtain of the inner room, extinguished the candle in the outer room, and closed the door.

There were only two people left in the room, and it was so quiet that they could hear the sound of the lights popping in the house.

Chen Zhi stood there for a while before slowly walking to the bed and quietly looking at the woman on the bed.

Her skin, as white as porcelain, looked like a newly opened peach blossom under the light of the red candle, with a hint of pink in the white. She had an oval face and two curved willow-shaped eyebrows. Her sleeping face looked very soft and well-behaved. Her nose was small and straight, with a round nose tip, making her look delicate and cute. Her red lips were full and translucent. Just looking at her like this made people imagine that this girl must be lively and bright when she smiled.

In fact, Xu Shuhe's appearance cannot be considered a great beauty, but she is definitely a top-notch girl with a petite and pretty appearance. She makes people feel soft-hearted and looks harmless.

But thinking back to the scenes of Xu Shuhe dealing with Feng during the day, she was clearly a girl with her own ideas and tactics, very shrewd.

It's almost like playing the pig and eating the tiger, Chen Zhi thought, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

Well, she wasn't feeling well today, so she didn't need to think about those things.

After calming down, Chen Zhi extinguished the candle on the bedside table and quietly lay down on the other side of the bed.

Little did he know that at this moment in the darkness, Xu Shuhe, who was pretending to be asleep, also felt relieved.

Let's delay it for a day. Who would want to sacrifice themselves to a stranger so early?

Especially, she originally planned to be Chen Zhi's mother.

However, when she thought about becoming a mother, the face of her father-in-law Chen Huaiqian appeared in Xu Shuhe's mind. She was so scared that she felt a chill on her back and quickly killed the thought.

Compared with the old man, the younger Chen Zhi is much more pleasing to the eye.

But if it is a single mother and a well-behaved son, it is still pretty good.

I was thinking in a daze and fell asleep without knowing when.

I would start to feel suffocated in the middle of the night.

Xu Shuhe tossed and turned, but didn't want to get up. He couldn't sleep well and secretly hated himself for pretending to be asleep so he went to bed early and didn't even go to the bathroom before going to bed.

Chen Zhi was a light sleeper, so he was quickly woken up by the noise next to him. Thinking of what Xinyue said before that Xu Shu had a headache before going to bed, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

So when Xu Shuhe turned over again, he asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Originally Xu Shuhe was half asleep and half awake, but after hearing Chen Zhi's voice, he became a little more awake.

"No, I'm fine." Xu Shuhe replied.

There's really nothing wrong, my bladder is just feeling very full and I'm just too lazy.

However, Chen Zhi obviously did not believe it. He just thought that Xu Shuhe's new wife had just married and was embarrassed to say that he was not feeling well. He also remembered that Xu Shuhe had a heart disease and died of this disease in his previous life, so he became even more worried.

He sat up immediately, fumbled around the bedside for a while, found the tinder, and lit the candle.

"If you feel unwell, ask a doctor to take a look. Don't try to hold on."

"Really not." Xu Shuhe smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to go change clothes, but I was afraid to wake you up. I didn't expect that I would wake you up anyway."

You have to say something nice. You can't really say that she is just too lazy to get up and keeps dawdling.

After hearing this answer and confirming that Xu Shuhe was really not unwell, Chen Zhi felt relieved.

"It's okay, just go ahead."

"Yeah." Xu Shuhe was so embarrassed that he quickly got up.

That's right, she was sleeping on the inside and Chen Zhi was on the outside. She used her hands and feet to climb out without paying much attention and climbed quickly. When she passed over Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi suddenly groaned and sat up suddenly like a spring.

Xu Shuhe had already checked into the bed. Noticing his abnormality, she turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, I'm fine." Chen Zhi repeated what Xu Shuhe had just said, but he seemed to be gritting his teeth, "Go change your clothes quickly."

The light in the room was dim, and Xu Shuhe didn't notice anything wrong. After hearing what he said, he didn't ask any more questions and went out.

After she left, Chen Zhi couldn't help but take a breath, silently lifted the quilt and looked inside.

He thought that he just didn't want to consummate the marriage, but he didn't want to become disabled. This sudden blow really cost him half his life.

Xu Shuhe didn't know what he had done. After changing his clothes, he fell asleep.

The next day.

Chen Zhi accompanied Xu Shuhe back to her parents' home.

Because of Chen Huaiqian's attitude yesterday, Feng did not dare to be careless in the arrangements and ordered the servants to arrange the best carriage for the two of them.

Xu Shuhe's words of partiality at the family dinner made Chen Huaiqian scold Feng that night when he returned home. If she didn't give the two of them good food today, it would prove that she was partial.

Although I am reluctant, there is no other choice.

Xu Shuhe had just arrived at the Chen family, so naturally he couldn't see what was happening in the carriage, but Chen Zhi knew it.

In his previous life, he had never ridden in the best carriage in the house twice. It was always used by Chen Huaiqian or Chen Xun. Occasionally, Chen Jin would ask for it to save face in front of his friends, but it was never his turn.

He had not thought so much about it before, but now it seems that Feng had never thought of giving him any of the good things in this mansion.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi's face looked unhappy.

"Don't be nervous, my husband. My mother is a very gentle person and easy to get along with." Xu Shuhe's voice rang out.

In her opinion, Chen Zhi's unnaturalness was probably because he was about to meet his mother-in-law and was a little nervous.

Tsk tsk, growing up in the Chen family's environment, lacking love and self-confidence, the child gets nervous when encountering something, which is really pitiful.

Chen Zhi was slightly stunned after hearing this comfort, and then nodded, "Well, let's go."

Xu Shuhe smiled and then took Xinyue's hand and got into the car first.

Looking at the woman's back, Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel soft at heart. It turned out that the person who really cared about him would even notice his strange little emotions.

Although Chen Zhi was not very nervous about meeting his mother-in-law, Xu Shuhe's comfort still made him feel at ease.
