Chapter 9 The Cold Dawns
When Lu Xian came back, it was already past one o'clock in the morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At that time, Shen Qian had already slept a little dazed, since the last time Lu Xian saw his drunkenness, he actually ordered someone to prepare an ice cellar fan, etc., so Shen Qian's sleep has always been much better.
But when Lu Xian's boots walked through the steps and entered the hall, the sound echoed even more. Shen Qian was secretly annoyed in her heart, and pulled the quilt to cover her head, but she could still vaguely hear the movement below, as if she was telling Lu Feng to do something. Shen Qian rubbed his messy hair, got up, walked to the side of the low table, touched the kettle, poured a glass of white water, and drank a few times to calm the ghost fire in his heart.
When Lu Xian entered the master bedroom, he saw Shen Qian sitting quietly on the small sofa, flipping through the Bible with a calm face.
"Sorry to wake you up." When Lu Xian saw the wrinkled pajamas on Shen Qian's body, he knew that she had just gotten up from the bed, he raised his eyes slightly, and his voice was probably because of the wine, it was no longer the coldness on weekdays, but added a little bit of fireworks, and there was a trace of hoarseness.
Shen Qian put down the book in his hand, gentle as ever, and smiled: "No, I can't sleep, I've been reading here for a while." ”
Lu Xian lowered his eyes and looked at the book on the table, didn't say anything, took the change of clothes in the closet and went to the bathroom. Shen Qian's eyes were a little self-deprecating, she thought that as a husband, Lu Xian at least had the most basic respect.
At the very least, she should have been explained why she was back so late.
What Lu Xian did outside, Shen Qian couldn't care about it, and he didn't want to care, but when he returned home, he should respect each other, what are you yelling at the bottom if you don't sleep at night? Don't you know that you wake people up to sleep?
Shen Qian knew that Lu Xian didn't know, but he didn't want to say it. After all, her Shen family's upbringing knows what to do, and his Lu family may not know it.
Shen Qian thought so, and secretly thought to himself a few times, so he stepped forward and stopped outside the bathroom door with the sound of water, and buckled a few times through the sliding door, and heard the cold voice coming from inside, Shen Qian's impetuous heart calmed down suddenly.
"Something?"
"I want to tell you something. I..."
"I'll wait until I'm done washing."
“… Good. ”
Shen Qian lowered her eyelashes, lowered the dark light in her eyes, and responded. After finishing speaking, he returned to the sofa by himself, took the Bible and flipped through a few pages, a little distracted.
When I got married, I said in my heart that I wasn't worried that it was fake. But since she was a child, Shen Qian has been a generous person, she doesn't care about anything, and she is willing to do anything.
So much so that today, his father's sentence of Qin Jin's goodness made Shen Qian marry neatly alone.
After all, she has nothing to care about, and the only thing she can repay the kindness of the Shen family in this life is her own marriage.
Young and unmarried Shen Qian loves to read poetry collections, at that time she was hearty, but she didn't care about her face, and she didn't go abroad to see the world, influenced by Gu's mother, even if she had a jumpy temperament, she could calm down and read a few history books, and read a few sentences of sadness.
Therefore, she can also understand what is called in-law, and what is called hereditary marriage.
Make a covenant between the two surnames and make a good relationship between Qin and Jin.
These promises of fate have given Shen Qian a glory that is difficult for others to reach, so she must also pay for the love that others cannot give up.
"What are you going to tell me?" Lu Xian stepped on the water vapor and came out, the cool breeze blew clearly on his bare chest, bulging into the half-open bathrobe, and the faint abdominal muscles inside were faintly revealed.
Shen Qian knew that he was slender, but he didn't expect that in his seemingly thin body, there was also the existence of accumulated strength. At that time, when Shen Qian looked at it on the wedding night, he was shocked, and then he was greedy for a night, and Shen Qian, who was in pain, lay on the bed for a day and couldn't move. She didn't want to order someone to come in and wait closely, Lu Xian was also a master who had done things, so she went to the barracks early in the morning in good spirits to review, leaving Shen Qian, who was pretending to be asleep, at home alone.
Shen Qian poured a glass of white water and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "I want to know, does Xiyi go out every night to deal with official business?" ”
Lu Xian sat down with white water, but he didn't drink it and put it on the table, and when he heard Shen Qian's question, his eyebrows were a little cold, "What is Madam asking for?" ”
"Nothing." Shen Qian smiled at the corner of her eyebrows slightly, and took a sip of white water herself, "It's just that I, as the young lady of the Lu family, should have the right to ask about my husband." ”
"Oh? Did Madame realize that she was the young lady of the Lu family at this time? Lu Xian also had cool edges and corners, and he smiled: "When Mrs. Song complained to Mrs. Song last month, I didn't think about it that way. ”
Mrs. Song naturally refers to Shen Mu, Shen Qian's sister.
Shen Qian knew that Lu Xian would bite herself, but she didn't expect him to bite such an ordinary thing, she frowned and said: "This is very common, I poured my heart to my sisters, is this also an uncommon rule in the Lu family?" ”
Saying that, Shen Qian's tone carried a hint of obvious mockery, she didn't have much expectations for this family business, and now it is even more so. Shen Qian hated others for violating her privacy without her permission, and obviously, Lu Xian had violated this taboo. He sent someone to stare at their conversation without saying hello, and Shen Qian had a faint ghostly fire in his heart, but he was pressed by her again and again, and it was extinguished.
Lu Xian opened his mouth to Mrs. Song, and it stands to reason that he should call Sister Shen Mu. It can be seen that he is annoyed, and he doesn't even want to say anything more.
"Whether it is to say what is in her heart or to convey a message to the Shen family, the lady herself should know it in her heart. I'm so tired that I'm going to sleep if it's okay. Lu Xian didn't have the patience to entangle with Shen Qian anymore, he had just drunk wine, and after taking a shower and sobering up for a while, his head hurt badly. He pinched his eyebrows, got up and went to bed.
Shen Qian's eyebrows suddenly turned cold, and she couldn't pretend to be gentle, she was too deceitful. It's better to spread out and explain such a conversation.
She grabbed the sleeve of Lu Xian's bathrobe, and the black fabric was slightly wet in her fingertips, "Wait, I still have something to say." ”
Lu Xian frowned, looked at her sideways, and motioned for her.
She suppressed the nausea in her heart, and looked up at Lu Xian's slightly cold eyes, "I have always slept very shallowly, and if you come back late in the future, you will live outside." ”
Shen Qian looked at the eyes that were gradually sharpening, and without waiting for him to speak, he continued: "After eleven o'clock, don't come back." You need a loving couple of Lu Shen, but I'm sorry, you really don't act like a dutiful husband. I don't need you to be nice to me, I don't expect that, I just want you to respect me, and I can respect you. Lu Sanye. ”
The servants of the Lu family all call Lu Xian as the third young man, because there are no grandchildren in the family, so he is still a young master, and he has become a habit and no longer changes. And Lu Xianxin entered Shanghai Tang, because of the third row of behaviors, he followed the customs of Shanghai, and had the reputation of the third master outside.
Shen Qian's words have been said very clearly.
They don't owe each other, they don't have anything to do with each other.
Lu Xian chuckled, turned to look at Shen Qian, and said, "Why are you so sure that I will promise you?" ”
"You need my gentleness." Shen Qian changed her face, and a casual coldness jumped in the corner of her eyes, "Otherwise, how can you set off the growing friendship between you and the Shen family." ”
"I've heard that what you do outside doesn't look like a Shen family-in-law at all."
Lu Xian didn't speak, he recognized Shen Qian's analysis, but he avoided the past, his eyes were a little vague, "Others say that Shanghai celebrities are the daughters of the Shen family, one is arrogant like a plum, and the other is elegant Ruolan." I didn't think that the orchid I married back was a rose dressed in an orchid with thorns all over it. ”
"Don't dare to be, where can you compare to Lu Sanye, who is as noble as a Buddha, saying that immortals have lowered your style." Shen Qian's words turned sharply, no longer as smooth as before, but with sharp sentences, directly poking at Lu Xian, the implication of his words was that Lu Xian was a fake and serious villain on weekdays.
Lu Xian was already a little tired, he waved his hand, he didn't want to talk to her any more, "I can only come back as early as possible, it's impossible for me to live outside." He pointed to the building standing in the distance outside, "I don't have the time to wake up and go to the house in front of outsiders." ”
If he really went outside according to Shen Qian's wishes, the next day there would be a street corner newspaper full of rumors that the marriage between the Lu and Shen families had failed and was about to break down.
Lu Xian was on this point, so he would unscrupulously anger Shen Qian. It is not so much that he needs Shen Qian's gentleness, but that the marriage road of the Lu and Shen families needs Shen Qian to insist, except for being gentle and virtuous, she has nothing to do. And he, Lu Xian, needs the real Shen Qian.
And today, living up to expectations, he can be regarded as seeing the coldness under Shen Qian's skin that is comparable to him.
The same indifference, just for the sake of the family.
