"Heh, other than you, who else is in charge of Shen Family? I can't marry anyone but you! Therefore, Musheng, don't get into an awkward situation with Grandmother anymore. Don't be stubborn anymore. You won't have a good ending if you continue to oppose Grandmother like this. What's more, do you think that Qin Ruochu really loves you? Musheng, the only one who truly loves you is me! " Qiao Yitong almost lost her mind.

From the beginning till the end, Shen Musheng didn't even turn his head to look at her. The moment Qiao Yitong's tears fell, Shen Musheng finally opened his mouth calmly, "This is a matter between us husband and wife, there's no need for you to worry." I still have to go and pick up Ruochu, so I won't talk to you any longer. "

As soon as he finished, Shen Musheng walked away. Qiao Yitong looked at his cold figure with tears in her eyes. Her chest was moving up and down intensely due to sadness and unwillingness. Qiao Yitong clenched her fists, her slender white arms trembling slightly.

"Shen Musheng, you can't do this to me … You can't, you can't! " Qiao Yitong gritted her teeth so hard that her teeth nearly broke as she squeezed those words out of her mouth.

Qiao Yitong's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had made up her mind.

Shen Musheng came out of the yard and strode across the corridor and the living room. Soon, he appeared at the door of Shen Muqiao's room.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly remembered Shen Muqiao's request for Qin Ruochu to accompany her to rest. With a jolt in her mind, she said, "Maybe she's asleep …" Thinking about that, Shen Musheng gave up on the idea of knocking and pushed the door open.

The door that opened on both sides was pushed open gently. Shen Musheng walked in and looked inside. Sure enough, there were two people lying on the bed.

Shen Musheng subconsciously lightened his footsteps and walked to the front of the bed.

Shen Muqiao slept soundly with two people on the bed. Her heavy breathing could almost be heard in the room.

As for Qin Ruochu, she was sleeping close to the bed. Perhaps she was afraid of touching or pressing down on Shen Muqiao. Qin Ruochu faced inside, so Shen Musheng couldn't see her face.

Shen Musheng reached out his hand and moved it through Qin Ruochu's legs and neck. With a little force, he picked up the not-so-heavy Qin Ruochu.

At this moment, Qin Ruochu wasn't asleep at all. She was just thinking with her eyes closed. Perhaps she was too focused and didn't hear Shen Musheng open the door or the sound of footsteps.

Qin Ruochu let out a soft moan when she was gently lifted up.

"Musheng, you're back …" Qin Ruochu opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.

In the next second, Qin Ruochu quickly covered her mouth and turned around to look at Shen Muqiao.

Fortunately, Shen Muqiao was still fast asleep and showed no signs of being disturbed.

"It's nothing, a pregnant person sleeps soundly …" Shen Musheng said. Even though he said that, Shen Musheng still turned around and carried Qin Ruochu outside.

When they left Shen Muqiao's room, Qin Ruochu finally opened her mouth. "Put me down. It won't be good if others see it later …" Old Lady Shen's attitude made Qin Ruochu a little afraid.

However, other than closing the door for Shen Muqiao, Shen Musheng had no intention of stopping, "So what if others see it? It's legal to carry your own wife." Shen Musheng said confidently.

Qin Ruochu couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking that other than the servants, no one else in the Shen Family house saw anything else. She felt relieved, reached out to grab Shen Musheng's neck, and buried her face into Shen Musheng's warm chest.

Shen Musheng walked at a steady pace. After a long while, Qin Ruochu's muffled voice came from his chest.

"Grandmother …" Did I make things difficult for you? " Qin Ruochu didn't look up as she spoke.

Shen Musheng lowered his head to look at Qin Ruochu, who was in his arms, and knew that his wife must be feeling wronged because of Old Lady Shen's attitude.

"No, and besides... She no longer has the ability to make things difficult for me. " Shen Musheng said.

Qin Ruochu, who was in his arms, did not move or answer. Shen Musheng unconsciously sped up his pace.

When he came to his yard again, Shen Musheng felt a little strange. He didn't know how long it had been since he stayed here and it was empty since he went to America.

Then, he went back to his hometown, but didn't think about staying in the Shen Family Old House at all. He had always lived in the city, so it was natural to say that he was unfamiliar with the place.

"From the first day of our ancestors' sacrifice, we will be staying here. We haven't stayed here for quite some time, so you should feel a bit wronged for now." Shen Musheng carried Qin Ruochu into the room and said as they walked.

Upon hearing his words, Qin Ruochu pulled her head away from his chest, as if she had calmed down and didn't notice anything amiss.

Qin Ruochu looked at the spacious and simple room and didn't feel wronged.

"I think it's pretty good. Someone must clean it regularly. Besides, this is where you've lived since you were young, isn't it?" Qin Ruochu raised her head and looked at Shen Musheng.

Shen Musheng put her on the bed, "Have a good rest. Wake up early in the morning, you should be tired."

"What about you?" Qin Ruochu thought that Shen Musheng would leave after he told her to rest.

Shen Musheng chuckled. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll rest with you."

"Alright …" Qin Ruochu then revealed a bright smile.

Just like that, the two of them laid down on the bed. Shen Musheng carried Qin Ruochu in his arms. This posture was their usual sleeping posture, and it had become their habit.

Qin Ruochu laid her head on Shen Musheng's arm and frowned. She seemed to have something to say, but she didn't open her mouth.

In the end, Shen Musheng couldn't bear to see his wife so conflicted. He opened his mouth first, "If you have something to say, just say it. If I have a question, I will answer." Qin Ruochu pouted. "No, I have nothing to say."

Shen Musheng smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

Three seconds later, Qin Ruochu got up with her brows still furrowed. Shen Musheng also sat up, "What? You have something to say?"

Qin Ruochu glared at him coquettishly and pouted. "It's nothing, just …" I feel like Grandmother doesn't like me, did I not perform well? "

Qin Ruochu's worried look made Shen Musheng's heart ache, "Idiot, it's fine if I like you since she doesn't like you. Besides, you don't need her to like you." Shen Musheng hooked Qin Ruochu into his arms.

Qin Ruochu leaned against Shen Musheng and thought while pursing her lips, "Maybe it's because Grandmother doesn't understand me. If I spend more time with Grandmother, maybe Grandmother will fall for me." Qin Ruochu said with a serious expression.

Shen Musheng grabbed Qin Ruochu's chin and pecked at her little mouth, "You dare?" As soon as she said that, Qin Ruochu's mouth twitched and she acted like a deflated ball. That's right, she didn't dare to do that.
