Chapter 1201: I Want to Make You Stay (79)
“Impossible. I’ve already decided to cut all ties with you,” Shi Shaochuan said with a look of astonishment.
Bu Xianxian nodded and said, “In that case, forget it. I’m not going to compel you. I’ll excuse myself now. Since I’ve given you a red packet for your wedding, I must enjoy the banquet.”
Shi Shaochuan took out a thick wad of cash from his wallet and handed it to her. “Don’t eat here, go to any other hotel for a meal.”
Bu Xianxian grabbed it and said gleefully, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Noticing that Shi Shaochuan was about to leave, Bu Xianxian hugged him and said, “Shaochuan, congratulations on getting married. I hope you’ll be happy.”
Shi Shaochuan pushed her away and said, “Got it. Hurry and go back.”
Bu Xianxian watched him leave, and her lips curled into a smile after counting the cash in her hands.
When she made her way downstairs, she coincidentally bumped into Shi Bao’er, who was sitting upright by the table.
Bu Xianxian stared at her and thought to herself, What a little devil. Seems like the new Mrs. Shi is going to have a lot to deal with. Shi Shaochuan is definitely going to lead a chaotic life from now on.
....
The wedding proceeded smoothly. After it ended, they drove back to the Shi family mansion from the hotel. Staring at Shi Bao’er, who had been behaving herself throughout the wedding, Shi Shaochuan said, “Our Bao’er is so grown up and sensible now. Bao’er, what would you like as a present? I’ll buy it for you.”
“Daddy, if you insist on giving me a present, just let me stay at home to play for a few days. I really like Auntie Wen.”
“Alright, you have my permission. You may take a few days’ break and stay at home,” Shi Shaochuan said with a smile.
“Okay. Daddy, I’m tired, I’m going to go back to my room to take a nap.”
“Alright, go ahead,” said Shi Shaochuan, who watched Shi Bao’er enter her room. He held Wen Lele’s hand and began walking toward the front. “My daughter has really become so sensible,” he said.
“She seems like an obedient child. She’s not as terrifying as you made her out to be. It’s only normal for children to be rebellious, especially since her parents got a divorce when she was still so young. She’ll be fine after you teach her slowly.”
“You have no idea what she had done in the past. Perhaps she had inherited her bad temper from me. You must be exhausted from the toasting ceremony. I’m tired too. Shall we rest together?”
Wen Lele agreed with a nod, “Alright.”
“Would you like to eat something? You barely ate just now.”
“Yes.”
“Alright, I’ll tell the cooks to prepare some food for you.”
Wen Lele turned to look at him and found him to be rather gentlemanly, unlike what he was rumored to be according to the media and news reports.
She returned to the bedroom. As soon as she sat on the bed, Shi Shaochuan removed her stilettos for her and massaged her feet. “Women tend to get achy feet after wearing high heels for an extended period of time. Do you feel better now?”
Joy was written all over Wen Lele’s face. “Yes, I feel much better now,” she said.
“We’ve only known each other for a short amount of time and I barely know much about you. Could you tell me more about your past? I’d like to find out more,” he asked.
Wen Lele answered, “Actually... there’s nothing much to tell you about my past. I began working with the archeological team right after I graduated from university. I only quit my job this year. However, there was a hair-raising incident that I had experienced before. I’m not sure if you’ll want to hear it.”
“What was it?”
“When I was still in the archeological team, we once followed our captain and An Xiaoning to an ancient residence in G City. Jin Qingyan actually went there too. However, it was obvious that his purpose was not entirely to accompany An Xiaoning.”
Shi Shaochuan asked out of curiosity, “What was he there for, then?”
Wen Lele smiled and said, “That place was too spooky. Apart from me and another female colleague of mine, the rest of the team members had all passed away. I then returned to A City to call An Xiaoning along with us. Jin Qingyan arrived too shortly after. The two of them then entered the ancient residence together. During the day, our archeological team found a large ditch in which there were more than nine hundred corpses. Jin Qingyan took all of them with him and buried them accordingly. However, our captain found it inappropriate since they were unrelated to Jin Qingyan. However, Jin Qingyan replied, ‘Who said they’re not related to me?’ and refused to explain his relationship with them when Captain asked about it. We then discussed this secretly behind the captain’s back, and we all found him to be shady and mysterious.”
“Everyone knows that the Jin family’s ancestral burial ground is in A City. What does that ancient residence in G City have to do with him? Did his ancestors live in G City before moving to A City?”
“That’s what we had guessed too. Otherwise, why would he have wanted to take matters into his own hands and bury so many corpses himself? Well, only he and An Xiaoning would know the reason. I never used to believe in superstitions. However, I’ve completely believed in them ever since that incident occurred. It has greatly traumatized me and my colleague. If we didn’t manage to escape the ordeal, we probably would have died too.”
“Don’t dwell on it anymore. That just means that Heaven didn’t want you to die yet so that you could marry me. Your happiness is about to arrive.”
Wen Lele smiled and said, “I believe you’ll treat me well. Won’t you?”
“Of course.”
Knock, knock, knock. One of the servants said, “Young Sir, Young Madam’s food is ready.”
Shi Shaochuan stood up to wash his hands and said, “Bring it in.”
The servant placed the tray on the table and said, “Young Madam, have a taste of the food. Let me know if you like it or not. If you don’t, I’ll make you something else.”
“It looks delicious,” said Wen Lele, who was elated and pleased to hear the servant call her “Young Madam.” Although she married the twice-divorced Shi Shaochuan, she was confident that she would be his last wife. She felt that she would stay in his life forever. From now on, I no longer have to slog my guts out for a pathetic monthly salary. I can focus on being a Young Madam.
As for continuing the Shi family bloodline...
After the servant left, she asked Shi Shaochuan, who had just exited from the washroom, “You really want a son, don’t you?”
Shocked to hear her words, he thought to himself, We just got married. How am I supposed to answer that? I shouldn’t be pressuring her.
“I do wish to have a son who can carry on the family bloodline, of course. After all, the Shi family... but I don’t wish to pressure you right now...”
Staring at him, Wen Lele said solemnly, “No, you have the right mentality. You’re the last male heir of the Shi family. It’s only right that you’d want a son. Rest assured, I’m already prepared to give birth to a son for you. Even if we get a daughter on our first try, I’ll keep trying until we get a son. This is my mission.”
Shi Shaochuan was on cloud nine after hearing her words. He exclaimed in joy, “I knew marrying you was the best decision I could ever make. You’re such a sensible and understanding person. It’s my blessing to be able to marry you.”
