Chapter 15 Let’s talk

Chen Zhi didn't expect Xu Shuhe to talk about such a private matter, and his face turned red visibly.

"Well, these are all trivial matters. It doesn't matter. I, I don't care." Chen Zhi's voice was a little stuttering.

Although he didn't want to hastily consummate the marriage, Chen Zhi was embarrassed to bring the matter up in the open.

Xu Shuhe looked at his face which was red as if blood was about to drip out, and muttered to himself.

Didn't you all have a maidservant to serve you and give birth to a child? Why are you still so shy when talking about such things?

But even though Xu Shu and Zi Ran were muttering in their hearts, they also acted shy on the surface.

"I'm glad my husband understands. I think it won't be too late to talk about this after I recover. Otherwise, it will affect my health. If I get pregnant, I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth to a healthy child."

"Yes, you are right. There is no rush for these things." Chen Zhi nodded hurriedly, wanting to end the topic quickly. "Just take care of your health."

Seeing that he was so reserved, Xu Shuhe just stopped there and didn't say anything more.

Well, talking about this has a lot of staying power.

When it was time for dinner, Zheng noticed that as soon as Chen Zhi's eyes met Xu Shuhe's, his face immediately turned red, as if he was extremely embarrassed.

Originally, Zheng was worried that things would not go smoothly for her daughter after marriage, but seeing this, she felt relieved.

That must be a very harmonious situation, otherwise the son-in-law would be so shy.

It's normal after you've just gotten married and tasted the sweetness.

No longer worried, Zheng smiled even more brightly. During dinner, she kept picking up dishes and adding soup to Chen Zhi's plate. Chen Zhi was too embarrassed to refuse and almost couldn't eat anymore.

As soon as I returned to my room at night, I asked someone to get some meatballs to help digestion.

"Just tell me if you can't eat anymore. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have had to ask my mother to feed you until you vomited today." Xu Shuhe looked helpless.

I thought that the child had a bad personality and didn’t know how to say no.

Chen Zhi swallowed the digestive meatballs and was silent for a moment before he whispered, "In the past, no one cared about me like this and picked food for me."

After saying this, he lowered his eyes slightly, like a wounded little animal.

When Xu Shuhe saw him like this, he was also stunned, and then his heart exploded sharply, I deserve to die!

A child who lost his mother when young, whose father is confused and whose stepmother is hypocritical, now meets a mother-in-law who truly cares for him, probably in his heart he treats Zheng as his own mother.

This luxurious motherly love will only make people want more, so how can they want to refuse it?

Thinking of this, Xu Shuhe sighed in his heart.

Then she walked to Chen Zhi, raised her hand and gently placed it on his shoulder, looked up at him, and spoke softly.

"It didn't exist before, but it will exist in the future. As long as I am here, it will exist every day."

Child, you have a mother.

Xu Shuhe said silently in his heart.

Chen Zhi looked down at the woman in front of him, and felt the tenderness in her eyes, which suddenly softened the coldness in his heart.

In his previous life, he missed such a beautiful woman.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but think so.

After a long time, he nodded.

But he felt that this was not enough, so he paused and said in a deep voice, "In the future, I will treat you well."

"Okay, I believe you." Xu Shuhe smiled.

Then he withdrew his hand and said, "It's getting late, let's wash up and lie down."

After she finished speaking, Chen Zhi glanced around the room and then pointed to the small couch, "I'm going to sleep here tonight."

Xu Shuhe naturally understood what he meant. He felt embarrassed because he was lying, so he said, "I'll sleep on the small couch. I'm small."

"You are weak, so it's better to sleep in a more comfortable bed. It's just for tonight, it's not a big deal." Chen Zhi insisted.

Seeing this, Xu Shuhe no longer insisted. After washing up and sending away Xinyue who was serving in the room, he personally made the quilt for him.

The fact that the marriage was not consummated had to be kept secret from outsiders.

If Xinyue knew about this, she would be very angry with her. If she told Zheng, it would be even more serious. As for the Chen family, Feng would be eager to catch her by the braids and punish her. She couldn't say anything.

However, for Xu Shu, himself and Chen Zhi, they are all much more relaxed now. They don't have to worry anymore and can sleep soundly at night.

The next day.

The two of them had breakfast before returning to Chen's house.

I brought a lot of gifts when I came, and I brought no less when I left.

Zheng's car was packed with stuff.

Xu Shuhe wanted to refuse, but Zheng said that this was to tell those people in the Chen family that even though she was a widow, her daughter was still confident and could not be bullied at will.

Having said that, Xu Shuhe naturally couldn't refuse anymore, and secretly resolved to be filial to Zheng in the future, even though she was just a mother in this mission world.

I returned to Chen's house. Since I stayed overnight outside yesterday, according to the rules, I had to greet the elders at home and inform them of my return today.

Chen Huaiqian was usually not at home during the day, so naturally he went to pay his respects to his mother-in-law, Feng.

"Young Master, Young Madam, the eldest lady is back today and is now talking to Madam in Wanshuangzhai." Meixiang, the head maid, said.

Originally, Chen Zhi planned to go to the shop by himself, but Chen Huaiqian happened to be in the shop, so he saw him and decided not to go with Xu Shuhe to see Feng. But after hearing this, he took the initiative.

"Since my sister is back, I'll go with you to take a look."

"Okay." Xu Shuhe hadn't noticed anything yet. "We said yesterday that we would find an opportunity to have a good chat with my sister. Today is the chance. Xinyue, go pick out two gifts to take with you."

Xinyue responded and went there immediately. She happened to have brought back some things from Xu's house today, all of which were good.

Seeing Xu Shuhe so busy, Chen Zhi looked conflicted for a moment, but still said something in a low voice.

"You don't have to be so enthusiastic."

"Huh?" Xu Shuhe turned around and looked at him puzzledly.

I thought to myself, isn’t she my biological sister, born of the same mother?

Chen Zhi lowered his eyes, "Sister, she is very close to the one from Wan Shuang Zhai."

In his previous life, he was close to Feng like his sister Chen Yurong, so he naturally knew.

When Xu Shuhe heard this, he paused for a moment, and he understood what Chen Zhi meant.

But after a moment of silence, he curled his lips and said, "It doesn't matter, we have to meet anyway."

After packing up, the two went to Wanshuangzhai together.

When I got there, I could hear a young woman's gentle laughter coming from inside the house.

I think it must be the eldest daughter of the Chen family who is already married, Chen Zhi’s elder sister, Chen Yurong.

Sure enough, when Xu Shuhe was led into the house by the maid, he saw at a glance the woman sitting next to Feng, whose face was 50% similar to Chen Zhi.

"You're back." Feng saw the two people coming in and greeted them with a smile, "Come, come, come and sit down. It just so happens that Yurong is back today, so it's a good opportunity for you to meet and talk. I think the third daughter-in-law is not very familiar with you. This is your sister."

This enthusiasm seemed as if the two of them had a very close relationship, and Xu Shuhe couldn't help but applaud Feng's acting skills.

However, since the other party had made a move, she naturally had to respond and then put on a smiling face.

"I just came back. My husband and I were planning to come and pay our respects to my mother-in-law, when we heard from the servants that my sister had returned, so we hurried over here."

As he spoke, he bowed to Chen Yurong and said, "Hello, Sister."

Chen Zhi also bowed with her.

However, Chen Yurong glanced between the two of them, but there was no smile on her face.

"Are you Xu?"
