Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Family Needs Company, Wife Needs Pampering
When she sat on the bed, her back was ramrod straight, and her slender neck looked lovely.
As Shen Cheng heard a noise and looked up, she saw Shi Yu and put her book aside.
Shi Yu walked to the side of the bed and sat down, asking her, "Are you used to it yet?"
Shen Cheng nodded, "Used to it."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Why not chat for a bit longer? Haven’t you not seen each other for quite some time? Surely there’s a lot to talk about downstai..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Shi Yu reached out, wrapped his arms around her waist, and chided softly, "Taking liberties."
Shen Cheng didn’t understand what was happening, "What?"
Shi Yu pulled her into his broad embrace, his chin nestled in the crook of her shoulder: "Family members need accompanying, a wife needs pampering."
Shen Cheng curved her lips into a smile, tilting her head to bestow a kiss upon his lips, a gesture of unexpected gentleness that she hadn’t premeditated.
Shi Yu confined her in his embrace: "Baby, if you’re feeling bored..."
The drawn-out tone hinted that he would certainly follow with some shockingly scandalous suggestion.
Indeed, a second later, he whispered in her ear, "I wouldn’t mind some exercise with you."
Shen Cheng, of course, knew full well what kind of exercise he meant, her face immediately displaying displeasure: "Is that all you think about all day long?"
Shi Yu’s thin lips parted slightly, "No."
He paused for a moment before adding another sentence: "Just most of the time."
This man... really doesn’t stop until he drops a bombshell!
Shen Cheng didn’t want to bother with him, and gently pushed his hands away, slowly putting her shoes on with composure.
Shi Yu wrapped his arms around her from behind, not forgetting to nuzzle ambiguously against her neck.
Of course, they couldn’t leave the room without sharing a deep, poignant kiss first.
Wen Wan looked up at the two of them coming out of the room together, her face unable to contain a smile full of mirth.
Shen Cheng slightly lowered her head, her face flushing with embarrassment.
This man, he was just too...
He made her lips appear freshly reddened and slightly swollen.
Embarrassed, Shen Cheng lowered her head and began to eat her rice.
It was only her first day back and already so uninhibited...
What if someone teases her about it?
Contrary to expectations, the whole meal was quiet and peaceful, as if Wen Wan saw nothing at all.
The young people these days... Wen Wan chuckled inwardly.
This daughter-in-law, she grew more endearing the more Wen Wan looked at her.
Wen Wan couldn’t help but think, no wonder her son had held all other women in disdain before this.
At the time she was worried, but now it seemed her concerns were unneeded.
After dinner, Shen Cheng asked Shi Yu, "What should I wear for the evening banquet?"
For some reason, she couldn’t help but ask for his opinion on such a trivial matter now.
Shi Yu was casually lounging on the couch, legs crossed, he turned to look at her with eyes full of indulgence: "Whatever you wear will be fine."
Seeing his attitude, Shen Cheng figured the banquet was not very important, so she casually donned a black evening gown.
It was only upon arrival that she realized the banquet seemed quite formal, with an extraordinarily lavish and grand setting.
Shen Cheng rarely read the newspapers because she had no interest in various entertainment gossips, so naturally, she did not know that the major media had reported on the banquet in advance.
Moreover, before entering, Shen Cheng had overlooked the words "Shi Mansion."
She only felt that the place was familiar, not recalling that she had been here once before.
This time, Shi Yu, Shen Cheng, and Wen Wan appeared quite low-key, not having informed anyone in advance.
Shi Yu casually glanced around the venue; most of the attendees were rising stars in the business world, along with a few particularly well-established names. Instead, there were hardly any people he recognized.
