Chapter 61 - 060 Don’t Guard Against Me 1
——————
The perspective shifts back to where Xie Jingchen coldly glares at Wang Xiaocui, then gloomily pulls his newlywed wife back to their room to talk—
Xie Jingchen presses his lips tightly and clenches his teeth, calmly listening to his mother’s words. Then coldly glancing at Wang Xiaocui and signaling to Zhou Xiuhua, he sternly pulls his wife away and leaves directly.
Zhang Shan Ni is somewhat coy, um, it’s not that she’s annoyed by Wang Xiaocui’s unreasonable overbearingness, but rather it’s the reservedness of a new bride that instinctively makes her twist and turn awkwardly; it’s embarrassment, it’s shyness.
Regarding those nonsensical words from Wang Xiaocui, she had actually heard far worse in the apocalypse, so she just pretends to be overwhelmed and lowers her head, putting on the appearance of a meek wife, which is enough to give that loose-lipped sister-in-law a taste of her own medicine.
When Xie Jingchen holds her hand, she genuinely didn’t expect this somber-faced Brother Rong Wei to actually be such a ’warm man’!
Truly! He boldly grips her hand tightly, right under Wang Xiaocui’s eyes!
Ha! Having understood the conservatism of this period, Zhang Shan Ni feels as if her heart is drinking honey, filled with sweetness.
—But let’s not talk about that; once they left the front courtyard, he held her hand tightly, intertwining fingers. His rough thumb gently caressed her knuckle joints and... calluses!
Finally, back in the bridal room, he even teased her with some playful touches and sweet nothings!
