He actually said she had foresight now, was he mocking her?
"Are you looking down on me?" Shen Xiaoyan pouted.
Hearing Shen Xiaoyan's words, Zheng Wei looked completely bewildered. "What do you mean?"
Shen Xiaoyan felt even more wronged. "If you don't look down on me, why are you mocking me like this?"
"When did I mock you?" Zheng Wei also claimed to be very innocent. He really didn't, did he?
"Then you just said I had foresight." Shen Xiaoyan pouted.
"I was complimenting you," Zheng Wei said with a smile.
Shen Xiaoyan stopped talking at this, gave Zheng Wei a huge roll of her eyes, and turned away, no longer looking at him.
Seeing Shen Xiaoyan like this, Zheng Wei decided to say nothing more. He walked forward, pulled Shen Xiaoyan into his arms, and murmured, "Mimi will always be the best in my heart. Everything you do is right, and you always have foresight."
As Zheng Wei spoke, his warm breath sprayed on Shen Xiaoyan's neck, making her feel itchy and a little numb. Finally, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hearing Shen Xiaoyan laugh, Zheng Wei was relieved.
Lately, Mimi seemed to be acting even more childish, often acting coquettishly.
However, he really liked this Shen Xiaoyan and enjoyed the process of her being coquettish with him.
"Are you not angry anymore?" Zheng Wei asked softly.
Shen Xiaoyan snorted, trying her best to suppress the corners of her lips that were naturally curling upwards. "Who's angry? Am I that petty?"
Zheng Wei felt a little helpless this time, blaming himself internally. He was such an idiot. What was he even saying?
Shen Xiaoyan waited for a while, but Zheng Wei said nothing more.
She gently turned her head to look at Zheng Wei.
When she saw the regret on Zheng Wei's face, she couldn't hold back any longer and finally burst into laughter.
"You ungrateful little thing, I was scared to death that you were angry, and you're still laughing at me." Zheng Wei said with dissatisfaction, but the pampering in his eyes was undeniable.
Shen Xiaoyan watched Zheng Wei's lips move, as if she could hear his voice beside her, yet it seemed as if she didn't hear what he was saying at all.
When Zheng Wei's lips stopped moving, she stood on tiptoe and planted a heavy kiss on Zheng Wei's face.
"Does this make up for it?"
After kissing him, Shen Xiaoyan asked in a low voice, her cheeks flushed.
"No," Zheng Wei said with a stern face, feigning disgust.
"Then tell me, how do you want compensation?" Shen Xiaoyan continued to smile and asked.
"I want..."
Shen Xiaoyan was still waiting for Zheng Wei to say what he wanted, but Zheng Wei only uttered two words before his face loomed infinitely large in front of Shen Xiaoyan.
By the time Shen Xiaoyan reacted, she was already being held tightly in Zheng Wei's arms.
"Wuwu..."
Shen Xiaoyan struggled slightly, but it was to no avail. In the end, she could only close her eyes and lean her entire weight onto Zheng Wei.
After it ended, both Shen Xiaoyan and Zheng Wei's breathing were much heavier, and their cheeks were like ripe peaches.
"Mimi's face is flushed, which makes her look exceptionally alluring," Zheng Wei said in a hoarse voice.
Shen Xiaoyan flicked Zheng Wei a glance from the corner of her eye, ignored his words, released him, and walked over to sit by the kang.
"Tell me, what's your specific plan?" Shen Xiaoyan said after taking a sip of tea.
Hearing this, Zheng Wei smiled. He lazily walked over and sat opposite Shen Xiaoyan. He reached out, snatched the porcelain cup from Shen Xiaoyan's hand, drank the tea in one gulp, and then thrust the empty cup back into Shen Xiaoyan's hand.
Shen Xiaoyan looked speechlessly at the empty porcelain cup in her hand, truly not knowing what to say.
The teapot was right there on the table.
There were three other porcelain cups nearby.
Why did he have to snatch the tea she had already drunk?
And then shove the empty cup back into her hand? What was he trying to do?
Shen Xiaoyan's face remained expressionless, but she was roaring internally.
Seeing the emotions swirling in Shen Xiaoyan's eyes, Zheng Wei found it amusing and his smile deepened.
"Doesn't Mimi have her own plans? Didn't you just have a long conversation with Aunt Pan, talking so eloquently? You looked like you had everything under control."
Hearing Zheng Wei's words, Shen Xiaoyan slowly clenched the porcelain cup in her hand.
What to do?
She really wanted to scratch Zheng Wei's face right now and make him cry tears of pain.
She knew he had a nice smile, but he didn't need to flaunt it like this.
Zheng Wei watched Shen Xiaoyan rolling her eyes repeatedly and was inwardly delighted.
Why hadn't he noticed before that Shen Xiaoyan had such a playful side?
Teasing her like this, Shen Xiaoyan's reaction was like a cat's.
She wanted to puff up her fur but was clearly holding back, which was so adorable.
"I thought Mimi already had a plan, so what I said earlier was just casual talk," Zheng Wei said.
Shen Xiaoyan was utterly shocked.
Her eyes widened, and she looked at Zheng Wei in disbelief. "You don't have any ideas?"
Zheng Wei shrugged, looking at Shen Xiaoyan with a helpless expression.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoyan slapped her own forehead. "How can you be like this? You have no ideas at all, and you agreed so readily. I didn't even think about it."
Zheng Wei, however, quickly stood up, walked to Shen Xiaoyan's side, took the hand Shen Xiaoyan had just slapped her forehead with, and examined it carefully. He then carefully examined Shen Xiaoyan's head.
Only then did he say, "How could you be so careless? Does your hand hurt? Does your head hurt?"
When Zheng Wei thought about the crisp sound he had just heard, his own forehead ached.
This Mimi, not only is she not soft-hearted towards others, but she's not soft-hearted towards herself either.
"It's none of your business. You're not helping me figure anything out, so why do you care if my head hurts? It might as well hurt to death," Shen Xiaoyan said, pulling her hand away and turning her body, no longer looking at Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei guiltily rubbed his nose. In a way, it was his fault. He shouldn't have been so amused and teased Shen Xiaoyan.
"Mimi, I'm sorry," Zheng Wei apologized sincerely.
"Where did you go wrong?" Shen Xiaoyan glanced at Zheng Wei sideways and asked coolly.
"I shouldn't have made Mimi worry. These matters should have all been prepared by me, and Mimi should have waited on the side to review the results," Zheng Wei said with utmost seriousness, as if it were the truth.
"If that's the case, then tell me about it." Shen Xiaoyan crossed her arms and looked at Zheng Wei, waiting for his first satisfactory answer.
Zheng Wei burst into laughter. "Alright, I thought Mimi was really angry. I didn't expect that you were just teasing me all along."
Hearing this, Shen Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh along.
Half an hour later, Shen Xiaoyan said, "Since you know I'm teasing you, I naturally have to cooperate a bit. Otherwise, how much fun would we be missing out on?"
Zheng Wei shook his head helplessly and slowly walked to the other side of the kang table to sit down.
"Here's my plan: tomorrow morning, I'll have Huo Si summon Bai Yonggui and discuss the matter of us selling grain and cotton clothes. Then, I'll have him arrange lodging for those villagers who don't have homes."
After Zheng Wei finished speaking, Shen Xiaoyan asked with some worry, "Will he agree? Actually, the most important issue is the lack of housing, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to us to say anything."
Zheng Wei shook his head. "Why wouldn't there be lodging? Although some houses in the village collapsed, half of them are still intact. If we arrange for one displaced family to stay with each of these intact households, wouldn't that accommodate them?"
"But, if they're strangers, would people agree? Shen Xiaoyan still felt it was unreliable. If this were possible, Bai Yonggui would have done it long ago.
After all, Bai Yonggui has been a village chief for so many years for a reason; he must have some capabilities, right?
