Shen Wei’s mind immediately flashed with the image of Xinghe’s appearance just moments ago, and he shook his head repeatedly, “No, no. Aren’t you picking Ayu up from school later? It’s getting late, we should head out soon!”
Li Yue Shu gave him a deep look, then finally curved her lips. She said nothing, tidied up the scattered bullets on the ground, and left.
Seeing her depart, Xinghe’s heart finally settled, and he almost buckled at the knees.
He quickly ran over to support Chai Yang, his face full of lingering fear, “I feel like Madam did that on purpose?”
Chai Yang supported him with one hand, his expression tinged with disdain, “You were the one who ran into it like an idiot.”
Xinghe was bewildered.
Meaning, he brought it upon himself?
“But I don’t think I’ve offended Madam, have I?”
Chai Yang looked at him with even more disdain.
Fool, you didn’t offend Madam, but Master did.
You’re taking a hit for Master!
Chai Yang quickly let go of Xinghe’s hand and walked away without looking back.
He was afraid that if he stayed with this guy any longer, he’d catch his foolishness.
…
After venting on Xinghe, Li Yue Shu’s mood visibly improved, though her attitude towards Shen Wei remained indifferent.
Shen Wei sensed her attitude and wanted to approach her, but the thought of Xinghe’s encounter made him inexplicably fearful. He could only follow behind her silently.
Doctor Chen, being elderly and having met all sorts of people in his practice, naturally saw at a glance that the atmosphere between the two was not right.
He had been happy for days when he heard Shen Wei had recovered, how could they have suddenly fallen out?
Doctor Chen was curious. While Li Yue Shu was in the medicine hall’s storeroom, he secretly pulled Shen Wei aside, “Did you upset Yue Shu?”
Shen Wei knew he was concerned. He subtly pulled his hand away and nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Chen couldn’t help but punch his shoulder, “Yue Shu is such a good wife, how could you make her angry!”
He wore a look of disappointment and glared fiercely at Shen Wei.
Shen Wei looked at his shoulder that had been hit. His brow twitched, but he said nothing.
Doctor Chen had no idea what he was thinking and earnestly advised, “You haven’t lost your memory, you should know how hard Yue Shu works to support this entire family. As her husband, now that you’ve recovered, you should help her share the burden more.”
“Friction between couples is normal, especially given your unusual circumstances. As a man, why not take the initiative to yield and try to coax her back?” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Shen Wei pursed his lips.
His matters with Li Yue Shu couldn’t be explained in a few words, and he had no intention of explaining them to Doctor Chen.
However, after listening to Doctor Chen’s words, he suddenly asked, “Then how should I coax her?”
Although A Shu would talk to him, she could always end the conversation in a sentence or two, giving him no opportunity for further discussion.
Seeing his willingness to learn, Doctor Chen nodded with satisfaction, “To win someone’s heart, you must cater to their preferences. Women, for the most part, like rouge, powder, silk, and satin. And if you say more sweet words, no woman would refuse.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Wei frowned slightly.
As the Regent of Chen Nan Kingdom, he had met countless women, each with her own charm. It was true that most of them liked rouge, powder, silk, and satin. But he knew Li Yue Shu was different from those women.
For such a long time, let alone buying rouge and powder, she hadn’t even had a hairpin for her hair.
Right!
A hairpin!
Shen Wei suddenly thought of something, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, then he clasped his hands in greeting to Doctor Chen, “I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Doctor Chen.”
With that, he turned and hurried out of the medicine hall.
Although Doctor Chen didn’t know what he had thought of, he smiled with satisfaction seeing his eagerness.
This third son of the Shen family, though ordinary in appearance, was mature, steady, and capable, a reliable husband!
Li Yue Shu was completely unaware of all this. She simply asked instinctively when she found Shen Wei missing.
Doctor Chen smiled mysteriously, “He, ah, went to do something important!”
Li Yue Shu was stunned.
Something important?
That’s right, a dignified Regent wouldn’t be idle every day.
Li Yue Shu quickly collected her thoughts, pushing the person out of her mind. She didn’t even pay attention to Xinghe’s absence for two days.
She had been busy with the pharmaceutical factory recently, and the inventory work for the medicine hall had been delayed until now, increasing the workload.
But with Shen Tan and the others helping, all the tasks were completed a day ahead of schedule.
After finishing the work at the medicine hall, Li Yue Shu decided to give Shen Wei the divorce letter.
The divorce letter was already written. As long as she took Shen Wei to the village head again, they would be completely done with each other.
But when he saw her, Shen Wei spoke first, “A Shu, there’s something I want to tell you privately.”
Li Yue Shu looked confused, then nodded, “Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you.”
As it was early, everyone had just woken up and was mostly busy with their own affairs.
The two went to a secluded corner where they could be seen at a glance if anyone were around.
Li Yue Shu looked at the person before her with a cold expression, “Speak, what is it?”
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Shen Wei opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. He simply took out the hairpin, still warm with his body heat, “This is for you.”
The hairpin was red, carved with several unknown flowers. It was simple yet vibrant, very beautiful.
Li Yue Shu had little knowledge of jewelry, but she could tell this hairpin was valuable.
She raised an eyebrow but did not reach out to take it.
After a long silence, she finally asked, “Is this your apology gift?”
To be honest, Li Yue Shu had no idea what kind of person this Regent was, who had died many years ago in the original book and didn’t even have a name.
But after a year of getting along, even when he was foolish, she could tell that his character was very similar to A Min’s; there was an inherent stubbornness in his bones that made him unwilling to back down easily.
Giving a gift to apologize?
It really didn’t seem like his style.
Shen Wei noticed her thoughtfulness but didn’t know what she was thinking.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, “This is not an apology gift, this is your birthday gift.”
Li Yue Shu was stunned.
Birthday gift.
Right, today was the seventh day of the seventh month, and also the original body’s birthday.
In her past life, from the time she could remember, she was an orphan in the organization and didn’t have the habit of celebrating birthdays, so she naturally wouldn’t remember such a day.
But Shen Wei actually remembered, and had prepared a birthday gift for her…
At that moment, Li Yue Shu felt as if her heart had been struck twice.
Her hand, clutching the divorce letter, tightened unconsciously. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she threw the divorce letter into her spatial dimension.
Today was her first birthday in two lifetimes, such a day worth celebrating. She’d give him the divorce letter tomorrow!
With that thought, Li Yue Shu happily took the hairpin from Shen Wei’s hand.
But she didn’t expect that even the next day, her divorce letter still wouldn’t be delivered.
