Chapter 84 Let’s Keep Some Distance
For the next period of time, Xu Shuhe felt that Chen Zhi was a little strange.

Weird. Clingy.

Strange. Passionate.

The two haven't consummated their marriage yet, probably because Xu Shuhe used delaying tactics, saying that he needed to recuperate for another year. So when Chen Zhi stayed over, it was just for show, coming every four or five days to stay for one or two days, and the two slept separately.

After all, it's quite embarrassing.

They are husband and wife in name only, but not in reality.

But since this meal, Chen Zhi has been staying more frequently.

It became a stay of three or four days, and then coming back every two days.

Although they still slept separately as before, Xu Shuhe clearly felt that something was wrong with him.

When Xu Shuhe came out of the bath, Chen Zhihui took the cloth from Xinyue and wiped her hair himself.

He sat just behind her, not too far nor too close, and his movements were clumsy and gentle, not like he was brushing her hair, but more like he was teasing her.

Or he could not sleep, so he would pull her over to sit with him and talk about business or play chess.

Wearing loose pajamas, he sat cross-legged lazily, with one hand supporting his chin. The slanted angle just revealed a not-too-small gap in the pajamas, allowing Xu Shuhe opposite him to see the man's firm and smooth chest.

Although Chen Zhi is a businessman, he looks rather elegant. In addition, he doesn't talk much, which makes him look a bit cold and aloof.

Such a scene really makes people's hearts beat fast.

Xu Shuhe felt that he did it on purpose, but it looked really good.

His old face turned red, and he vaguely guessed something.

After all, Xu Shuhe is not stupid.

Also, during breakfast, Chen Zhi would peel eggs for her, pick up dishes for her slowly, and if he saw something on her lips while eating, he would considerately hand her a handkerchief.

Well. Actually, Chen Zhi wanted to wipe her mouth, but Xu Shuhe couldn't stand it and dodged it.

When she went to the store to check the accounts, it happened to be raining and there was some water on the ground. Xu Shuhe was about to pull the hem of her skirt higher, but Chen Zhi picked her up horizontally and carried her directly into the store to prevent her from getting wet.

Zhang Ping followed behind silently holding an umbrella, with his head down and blushing.

The shop owner and his clerks looked on and smiled secretly.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Xu Shuhe quickly tried to stop it.

No, no, she was still thinking about completing the task quickly, getting things done within a year, so that she could get away with it safely. Now on the system panel, Chen Zhi's business attributes were rising rapidly, but the temperature of the child's eyes when he looked at her seemed to be rising as well.

To be honest, Xu Shuhe believes that he does not have such good self-control.

Although she has the appearance of a 17 or 18-year-old beautiful girl, her inner soul is that of a mature big sister in her thirties. Chen Zhi, the twenty-year-old handsome young man, is actually a little brother in her eyes.

Gentle and handsome, considerate and clingy, with positive values, obedient and motivated, and smart. Such a younger brother looks at you with a pair of affectionate eyes every day. Ahem, others don’t know, but Xu Shuhe feels that he can’t stand the test.

You can indulge yourself a bit and just let your hormones run wild.

But when he thought about leaving this world and not knowing what would happen after he left, Xu Shuhe didn't want to leave any ties.

It's quite harmful.

So, lady, you should stop being a woman and just be a mother.

When a son grows up, he avoids his mother. It is better for them to keep some distance from each other.

So, when Chen Zhi was about to go to Fuyunju again that day, he was stopped by Meixiang, who told him worriedly.

"The young lady has caught a cold, and I'm afraid she'll pass the disease on to you, young master. Now the business outside depends entirely on you, young master, so you should stay in the front yard for the next few days, and come back to see the young lady when she recovers."

"How did you catch a cold?" Chen Zhi frowned. Meixiang was also worried, "Maybe it's because you wanted to cool off when you returned home yesterday afternoon. It rained yesterday, and the humidity and coldness were heavier. The young lady sat by the window for a long time, and ate some iced fruit to cool off."

Hearing this, Chen Zhi's expression became even more gloomy, and he immediately walked towards Fuyunju.

"Young master, you'd better not go. The young mistress has instructed us to stay here and tell you because she is afraid that you will catch the disease." Meixiang hurriedly followed.

Chen Zhi waved his hand, "It's okay, I have to go take a look to feel at ease."

Meixiang, who was following behind, heard this. Although she still looked worried, she was also happy for her young mistress.

This shows that the young master is concerned about her.

When he came to Fuyunju, Xu Shuhe naturally pretended to be sick.

Talking to him, he seemed listless.

Unable to bear to trouble her, Chen Zhi left after staying for a while. Before leaving, he kept instructing Xinyue and Meixiang to take good care of her.

Seeing that the person was sent away, Xu Shuhe also breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that the disease would go away easily, and she was weak, so she would be sick for a few more days. It just so happened that there was nothing important to do in the store during this period, so she could take a day off to rest.

Thinking that young people's enthusiasm ignites quickly, this fire will also go out quickly. Her husband is sick and can't see people. When he recovers, he will find other excuses to avoid him. Chen Zhi's enthusiasm should have passed.

However, Xu Shuhe did not expect that Feng would really take advantage of every opportunity.

As soon as she said she was sick, Feng sent someone to tell her that Xu Shuhe was ill and should not work hard. It would be better to hand over some of the housework to Li Mingzhu to help take care of it so that she could have some time to recuperate.

"This old witch is really sharp-eyed. She's been staring at our yard. Our young lady is just suffering from a cold. How long will she be sick? She's just thinking of getting some benefits!" Xinyue said angrily.

Meixiang was also unhappy, "What do you mean by help manage it? If she helps, I'm afraid she will not let go of the power easily. It's not easy for her to come forward and push the Second Young Master's wife to fight for her."

Xu Shuhe naturally understood what the two maids said.

However, during the time she was the housekeeper, she had arranged everything that needed to be arranged, so it didn't matter if she gave up half of the power.

It's just right to have some free time.

The Chen family’s account is not easy to manage.

Xu Shuhe was also worried that if he held it in his hands for too long, something might happen in the future and it would affect her.

So after comforting the two maids, she followed Feng's wishes and divided the work in half, handing it over to Li Mingzhu.

In Wanshuangzhai, Feng was relieved to see Xu Shuhe was obedient.

To be honest, she was also afraid that if Xu Shu and the housekeeper spent too much time together, some loopholes in the accounts would be discovered.

The family has three sons who will inherit the family business in the future, so she naturally wants to get more for her own sons Chen Jin and Chen Xun, and not let Chen Zhi take advantage of them.

Li Mingzhu was really happy to get the right to be the housekeeper.

During this period, Chen Jin won a lot of money from the gambling house, and the couple was very affectionate. Now that Feng had helped her, she was able to manage the household again. In her eyes, it was natural that her mother-in-law had finally calmed down and this was a good thing.

Her purse was fatter now and she was in charge of the family affairs again as the second young master's wife. Li Mingzhu was in a very good mood.

Now all she needs is to get pregnant again and give birth to a son.

Thinking of this, Li Mingzhu secretly considered going to Liang's house to find Chen Yurong to ask some questions.

After all, Chen Yurong's situation was the same as hers. She had been married for many years but only gave birth to a daughter and then nothing happened again. Now Chen Yurong is pregnant again. Who knows if there is any good recipe for recuperation.

After all, Liang Jingzhou, the brother-in-law, is an official in the capital, so it is not surprising that he has better pregnancy-preserving medicine and brings it back for Chen Yurong to take.

Moreover, Chen Yurong's pregnancy is now three months old and she is already stable. It is appropriate for her to visit her and it would not be considered a nuisance.
