Chapter 203 - Teasing Her Husband

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Behind the Vast Gathering Pavilion was a large river. Many people went there to light the river lamps.

“I knew that there would be a lot of people today, so I booked a private room for you in advance. If you’re tired from shopping, you can come back here to rest. It’s also very good to watch the night scenery from above.” As Xiao Ruoshui spoke, she was about to lead them upstairs when she remembered that Song Jingchen’s legs were injured.

She paused. She wanted to ask them whether they would prefer a table in the hall instead.

Shen Yijia had already picked up Song Jingchen and his wheelchair.

Xiao Ruoshui was speechless.

After dinner at the restaurant, lanterns were hung outside.

Looking out of the window, the assortment of lanterns shone like a fire dragon illuminating day and night. The streets were even more crowded.

Sister Huan and the others could not sit still anymore and wanted to go down and play.

Coincidentally, Fan Mingyuan, who had finished his work, also came over. He seemed to not know how to face Song Jingchen and only nodded slightly in greeting.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. Her first impression of this person was not good. Even after she saw him a few times, her impression did not change.

“Hubby, shall we go down?” Shen Yijia asked for Song Jingchen’s opinion.

Song Jingchen shook his head and said, “Take them to play first. I’ll go later.”

There were too many of them. If he followed them in a wheelchair, Shen Yijia would definitely watch over him. Not only would she not be able to take care of the kids, but she would also not be able to enjoy herself.

Shen Yijia glanced at him and pouted. “No, how can I leave you here alone?”

She wanted to walk around the lantern festival with her beautiful husband!

Madam Li knew her son very well and immediately added, “Let Jiajia accompany you. Sister Wang and I will bring the kids along.”

It was easier for one person to fall behind and get lost if they were huddled together.

“That’s right, Big Brother. Have you forgotten that we have secret tools on us? Don’t worry and spend time alone with Sister-in-law.” Sister Huan leaned over and blinked at Shen Yijia.

His mother had said that as long as her eldest brother and sister-in-law had a good relationship, her sister-in-law would give birth to a nephew for the family soon.

In the end, Song Jingchen agreed to go with Shen Yijia.

Xiao Ruoshui watched as Shen Yijia happily pushed Song Jingchen away. She cursed Shen Yijia for forgetting her friends. To think that she had waited at the city gate for so long, but ended up getting left behind. Was Shen Yijia still afraid that she would look at Brother Chen?

“Doesn’t she remember my promise? Does she not trust me? Hmph!”?Xiao Ruoshui thought.

“Hey, my big brother only has eyes for my sister-in-law. Other girls can’t catch his eye.” Seeing that Xiao Ruoshui’s face was puffed up with anger, Sister Huan walked over like a little adult and patted her hand. “Sister Ruoshui, why don’t you come with us?”

Xiao Ruoshui was speechless.

Even Sister Huan didn’t trust her anymore? Where was the basic trust between people?

There were too many people on the street. Shen Yijia pushed Song Jingchen along and walked slowly. Everything she saw was new to her.

“Hubby, look at that rabbit lantern. It’s so cute!”

“Wow, look, that person can breathe fire!”

Shen Yijia kept pointing things out to Song Jingchen.

However, she didn’t stop to admire the view. She simply took one look and continued onwards.

Many people would look at the two of them strangely.

In the past, Shen Yijia would definitely wonder if Song Jingchen felt upset about it. But now that Song Jingchen’s legs had recovered, she naturally didn’t have to worry.

When others looked at her, she raised her chin and glared back.

Song Jingchen found it funny.

When they reached an arched bridge, the road ahead was completely blocked by the crowd.

Shen Yijia originally thought about going somewhere else, but she heard someone mention that someone was giving away masks for free.

There was no need for silver. Her eyes lit up and she changed her mind.

She pushed Song Jingchen out of the crowd and stopped in front of a stall. “Hubby, wait for me here. I’ll come back after I get the masks.”

“If you want one, you can just buy one.” Song Jingchen really couldn’t understand why Shen Yijia had to squeeze in the crowd when there were merchants selling masks beside her.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “You don’t have to spend money to buy something that’s free. Isn’t that something only a fool would do?”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips. He suspected that this fool was referring to him.

After saying that, Shen Yijia realized that she had said something wrong. She scratched her head and added, “Hubby, of course you’re not a fool.”

Song Jingchen thought,?“What if I don’t let you go?”

“Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.” Shen Yijia grinned.

After all, she was a businessman. Shen Yijia was worried that the boss of the stall would chase Song Jingchen away, so she ordered a bowl of dumplings and squeezed into the crowd again.

Seeing that Shen Yijia was drowned in the crowd in the blink of an eye and could no longer be seen, Song Jingchen panicked for no reason.

He almost stood up to look for her. He didn’t even hear the stall owner ask him if he wanted to add onions to the stew.

The stall was set up by an old couple. Seeing that he was staring at the crowd without blinking, the two of them understood everything. They looked at each other and smiled.

They knew that he was definitely not in the mood to eat now, so they were not in a hurry to cook his portion.

Just as Song Jingchen was about to reach his limit, he suddenly felt someone approaching from behind. His eyes turned sharp and he was about to attack.

Unexpectedly, the person behind him was faster. She grabbed his wrist and whispered in his ear with a smile, “Guess who I am?”

Song Jingchen heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw a foxy face in front of him. He chuckled and grabbed Shen Yijia’s hand to pull her into his arms. “Vixen.”

Shen Yijia quickly held her fox mask and muttered unhappily, “I’m clearly a fox fairy.”

“Yes, you’re a fairy,” Song Jingchen echoed.

Only then was Shen Yijia happy. She reached out and patted Song Jingchen’s back.

“The two of you are so close, but you have to eat this stew while it’s hot. It won’t be good if it’s cold,” the old woman teased as she placed a bowl of stew in front of the two of them.

Song Jingchen reacted and realized that everyone was looking at them. He quickly let go of Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia sat opposite him meekly. She picked up a spoon, scooped up a wonton, and blew on it before putting it into her mouth.

Her eyes immediately lit up. Without swallowing it, she praised, “Granny, your dumplings are really delicious.”

The old woman beamed with joy at the praise. She glanced at the old man who was entertaining other guests and said in a low voice, “Otherwise, how could I have relied on this skill to catch my husband back then?

“Don’t look at his appearance now. When he was young, he was the most handsome man around.”

As she spoke, the old woman glanced at Song Jingchen and clicked her tongue. “He’s a little like this one. He’s just as handsome.”

When Shen Yijia heard that he was as handsome as her husband, she stuck her head out and saw an old man with dark skin and a wrinkled face.

After reading it, she looked at Song Jingchen and couldn’t help but laugh.

The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched. He took the spoon from Shen Yijia’s hand, scooped up a dumpling, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

It was the old lady who said that he looked like that person, not her.
