Chapter 09: Delicious Duck Legs

Shen Yu has been disguised as a teacher in the small academy next door for the sake of rat carving. Jiang Hong disliked Shen Yu for being poor, and he didn't look down on him as a poor and sour talent with no future, so he never agreed to this marriage.

Jiang Qiuman stood in front of Shen Yu: "Dad, I have to pull Xiao An out." Don't scold him. โ€

Jiang Hong was drunk, and simply scolded Jiang Qiuman: "You loser, Lao Tzu has really raised you for so many years." I wanted you to marry a rich man, but you fucking chose a poor bastard! โ€

After scolding for a long time, Jiang Hong staggered away.

Jiang Qiuman was aggrieved, grabbed his palm and whispered: "Xiao An, don't be angry, my father is drunk, he is usually very good." โ€

Shen Yu's face did not change: "It's okay." โ€

But she always felt that Shen Yu was angry, so she was so careful to stay by his side, and even her breathing slowed down. The duck leg in his hand also lost his mind to eat.

Until she returned to the room, she was still unhappy and sighed.

Shen Yu asked her, "Don't eat duck legs?" โ€

Jiang Qiuman raised his eyes to look at him. A pair of eyes with tears in their eyes, looking hurt.

Jiang Qiuman threw down the duck leg, walked to his side, and said sadly: "How can my father say such a thing. Xiao Anke is the best Xiao An in the world. No one can compare. I just like you, what's wrong! โ€

Shen Yu sneered, "Just ignore him." โ€

Jiang Qiuman said: "But he is my father, I always hope that he can accept you." โ€

Shen Yu approached her, reached out and picked her chin, and chuckled: "I don't care about him." It's you that I care about, Qiuman. โ€

He smiled softly, without daytime indifference.

Jiang Qiuman couldn't help but blush, and stammered so much that he couldn't speak.

Shen Yu let go of his hand, leaned on the side of the bed, and looked at her: "You like me very much?" โ€

Jiang Qiuman became shy: "I, I don't have it......"

Shen Yu's eyes revealed a different kind of dark color: "Yes." It's a pity that your father hates me so much, and you and I got married on a hunger strike. It's better to wait for your father to completely accept me, and you and I will be real husband and wife. โ€

Jiang Qiuman just looked at him, his eyes full of doubt, obviously not knowing what Shen Yu meant.

Shen Yu said: "If there is a husband and wife, the wood will be a boat." If you regret it, you can't change it. โ€

Speaking of this, he paused for a long time before continuing, "If you agree, you and I will still be a good husband and wife in the eyes of outsiders from today onwards, and I will treat you well." โ€

Jiang Qiuman vaguely whitened his meaning, and was very moved: "Xiao An, you think about me so much, you treat me so well!" โ€

Shen Yu was slightly stunned, for a moment, and said lightly: "It's good that you can understand me." โ€

At that time, Jiang Qiuman always thought that Shen Yu was afraid that if they divorced one day, Jiang Qiuman's innocent body would be convenient for him to remarry. But it wasn't until later that she realized that it wasn't that he was thinking about her at all, but that he didn't love her at all and never treated her as a wife.

He has always only made cold use of her. In order to get the rat carving, use it to the extreme.

The candles flickered in the room, and both of them remembered the past.

Shen Yu said quietly: "Why don't you eat duck legs?" You love to eat. โ€

"When I got pregnant, I didn't want to touch it anymore." Jiang Qiuman hooked his lips, "It's too greasy, disgusting." โ€

The memory was so violently pulled back to the night of marriage-

After Shen Yu finished talking to her about the 'truth of husband and wife', Jiang Qiuman thought that he was thinking about himself, and he was in a much better mood, and sat at the table again and prepared to eat duck legs.

Jiang Qiuman handed one to him, and Shen Yu didn't raise his head, but just said lightly, "It's too greasy, disgusting." โ€

The candle flame danced even harder.

Shen Yu's heart was inexplicably sour, which made him uncomfortable. Trying to ignore the discomfort in his heart, he looked at her with heavy eyebrows.

Jiang Qiuman laughed again: "I'm pregnant, Young Master Shen, you have to leave me alone." โ€

Shen Yu said: "If you want to eat, tell the kitchen to do it." โ€

He was busy carving jade every day, so he didn't often come to see Jiang Qiuman. Unfortunately, it has now entered the cold winter, and he is sensitive to the winter season, so he can no longer continue to work, and can only rest for a while.

After thinking about it, he said, "Ah Hong has already gotten on the ferry, and she can get here on a cloudy day." From now on, let Ah Hong take care of you. โ€

Hearing Ah Hong, Jiang Qiuman's mood relaxed a lot.

Shen Yu got up and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, a sudden wave of dizziness struck, causing him to stumble a few steps under his feet, and the whole person fell forward.
