Seeing Shen Cheng smiling so happily, someone suggested, "Sister-in-law, why not play a few more rounds?"
Shen Cheng had just replied, "Sure..."
when a piercing glare shot over from the side. Shi Yu’s face was cold as he looked at her, squinting his dangerous eyes and raising an eyebrow, "Play more, hmm?"
Shen Cheng originally wanted to say: Playing a little more won’t kill me!
But as the words came to her lips, they changed to: "Then I won’t play!"
However it was heard, it sounded like she was throwing a tantrum.
If it were any other matter, Shi Yu would have definitely given in to Shen Cheng, but alas, when it came to playing cards, he was always principled.
He said she could only play one round, so it would only be one round.
"You all enjoy yourselves."
Shi Yu said coldly, and took Shen Cheng’s hand before turning to walk outside.
"Mr. Shi, let’s meet up another day!"
"Next time I’ll bring my girl to play with sister-in-law..."
Coming out of the private room, Shen Cheng maintained a sullen face, not looking happy at all.
Her little haughtiness did not escape Shi Yu’s notice. As they descended the stairs, he gripped her hand tightly, "When have you seen a woman playing cards with a bunch of old men?"
Shen Cheng turned her head to glance at him, "What’s wrong with playing cards with men? Are you jealous?"
Shi Yu didn’t speak, just led her down the stairs.
Shen Cheng tried to pull her hand away from his, but he held on tightly, prompting her to huff, "You might as well squeeze it to death!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu immediately let go.
Just as Shen Cheng was wondering why he had agreed so readily this time, she felt a hot, large palm enveloping her waist—it was him pulling her close.
"The two of you take care, we look forward to welcoming you again next time."
The waiter bid them farewell politely—those who could afford to spend money in Jinjiang were certainly no ordinary people.
"Why haven’t you left yet?"
Seeing Sun Yan still waiting outside Jinjiang, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but frown.
It had been almost an hour since she went in.
Sun Yan answered, "Young Madam, you told me to wait outside..."
Shen Cheng then remembered that she had told Sun Yan when entering the private room: "You wait outside!"
She gave Sun Yan a glance and said indifferently, "Alright, you can go back."
Even though Shen Cheng had spoken, Sun Yan still didn’t dare to leave. He looked at Shi Yu with a seeking gaze, "Boss..."
Instead of answering his question, Shi Yu said coldly, "From now on, listen to her."
His words were very clear—telling Sun Yan that in the future, what Shen Cheng says is the command; he should not seek his opinion on everything.
Watching Sun Yan drive away, Shen Cheng turned around and asked Shi Yu, "Shall we walk back?"
Shi Yu nodded, "Hmm."
The day had turned completely dark, and under the dim streetlights, their silhouettes stretched long.
The location of Jinjiang was in the Jiangcheng Center, quite close to Shi Mansion. Walking back would take no more than ten minutes at most.
Since getting to know Shi Yu, Shen Cheng rarely had such calm and peaceful moments with him.
Shi Yu walked ahead, one hand tucked into his pocket, his tall figure and noble demeanor perfect from every angle.
Shen Cheng followed at a leisurely pace, looking at his figure and always feeling it was a bit surreal.
Their relationship probably started from that accidental wrong room intrusion.
And then she got married, oh no...she was married off.
Who would believe such a story if she told it?
With that thought, she couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth...
