Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Heartbeat Bang Bang Bang
Watching her act like a little girl going through a rebellious phase, with behavior so surprising it was hard to fathom, Sheng Shaochen’s eyebrows twitched slightly, yet a faint smile unconsciously spread across his lips.
Ye Shu, sometimes enchanting, sometimes wild, sometimes obedient, and sometimes so distinctive in character it was beyond words.
She always managed to provide him with a fresh sense of novelty, and indeed, he found himself somewhat unable to let go.
Ye Shu, with her head down, drank three bowls of porridge made from different ingredients in succession, the taste so addicting.
So much so that when she came to her senses, she found her little belly swollen and bulging, which was indeed somewhat uncomfortable.
She wanted to take a walk in the yard, but then she heard a crashing and banging noise from upstairs.
It seemed to be coming from her room.
Ye Shu’s heart skipped a beat, and her complexion changed slightly.
This vindictive guy, he couldn’t actually be serious about making her pack up and leave, could he?
And before leaving, was he going to smash her belongings?
In Ye Shu’s mind, the thought of the laptop her father left her flashed instinctively, scaring her pale.
Disregarding her over-eaten state, she dashed upstairs.
Upon reaching her room and pushing the door open, just as she was about to speak, she was struck dumb by the scene before her.
Sheng Shaochen was actually wallpapering.
The sky-blue wallpaper with imitation star patterns was what she had ordered through a shopping app when she first arrived at Shengjing Garden.
After placing the order, she hadn’t had the time to pay attention to when the wallpaper would be delivered.
After all, these days had been full of trouble.
She had even forgotten about this matter.
To her surprise, it had arrived today.
The quality of the wallpaper was very ordinary and didn’t match the high-end decor of the room at all.
When she initially placed the order, she had planned to hide it from Sheng Shaochen, fearing his disdain.
She would have never expected, not only did he not disdain it, but he was actually hands-on, helping her wallpaper.
From the age of 16, when her youthful romantic notions began, Ye Shu had given all her teenage years to Gu Zuocheng.
In her world, a good man was probably someone like Gu Zuocheng, who was extremely gentle and extra caring toward girls.
Yet, she didn’t imagine there could be someone like Sheng Shaochen, who was tough-mouthed but soft-hearted, and whose actions knew no bounds.
Ye Shu stalled at the doorway, watching his actions that were not so adept, yet very conscientious, feeling her heart pounding fiercely.
She didn’t know what this feeling was.
At least, she had never experienced such an intense heartbeat with Gu Zuocheng.
Ye Shu’s cheeks tinted slightly red, and she lowered her head, walking up to him.
He stood on a stepladder, significantly taller than her.
Ye Shu had to lift her head to see his face. She said, “Mr. Sheng, you’re so nice to me, aren’t you afraid I’ll fall in love with you?”
Sheng Shaochen’s movements paused, and the wallpaper in his hands sagged down in a large drape.
He hurriedly reached out to grab it, frowning as he continued to attach the wallpaper.
“Isn’t it natural for Mrs. Sheng to fall in love with Mr. Sheng?”
“…” The stars in the depths of Ye Shu’s eyes dimmed bit by bit.
At that moment, she didn’t know her true feelings.
Many years later, she would understand that in that moment, her heart had quietly revived and been given to a man named Sheng Shaochen.
Ye Shu slipped her hands into her pockets and said with a light laugh, “Mr. Sheng speaks sense, but I’ve always liked to defy convention. ‘Natural’ things are really not for me.”
While talking, she climbed up the stepladder as well.
She squeezed in next to Sheng Shaochen, her pale fingers smoothing the wallpaper in his hands, wanting to help him with the task.
But Sheng Shaochen’s expression suddenly darkened. He reached out, pinching her delicate chin, forcing her to look up at him, “If it’s not suitable, find a way to make it suitable!”
Then, he climbed down from the stepladder.
