Chapter 19: Shen Kuozhi Goes Crazy for Love, the Number One Flirter
At nine in the morning the next day, after breakfast, the two of them got into the car heading to Shen’s ancestral home.
This time the car they took wasn’t as spacious. Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi sat side by side in the back seat, with only about fifty centimeters between them.
Shen Kuozhi turned his head slightly downward, looking at Qi Yue seriously, and said, “My uncle’s family has returned to the country. The person we saw at the restaurant last time was his son. They might also come back to visit grandma this time.”
“Do I need to pay attention to anything?”
Since Shen Kuozhi told him so carefully, meeting them was probably not going to be simple.
“We might need to act together.”
“What kind of act?”
Qi Yue also sat up straight, looking at Shen Kuozhi seriously.
“It’s not difficult. We just need to establish a character in front of them. You’ll be the reluctant young master forced into a wealthy marriage, and I’ll be the romantic type. When we’re together in front of them, just act neither too cold nor too warm.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Although Qi Yue didn’t know why Shen Kuozhi was doing this, it wasn’t difficult for him.
Shen Kuozhi had also helped him out, so he had no reason not to help the other party, especially since the character he gave him was quite fitting for his current situation.
But whether Shen Kuozhi had a purpose or not, Qi Yue pondered to himself, stealing a glance at Shen Kuozhi beside him.
Qi Yue stepped into Shen’s ancestral home again, but this time his identity was completely different from before, and even the butler treated him with more respect.
Shen’s house was much livelier this time. Besides Grandma Shen, Shen Kuozhi’s uncle Shen Tan, aunt Meng Jiang, cousin Shen Mengyu, and cousin Shen Hanxin were all present.
But Shen Kuozhi had already told Qi Yue about this beforehand, so Qi Yue wasn’t surprised when he entered.
The first person they met after entering was Shen Kuozhi’s aunt, Meng Jiang.
Normally, Shen Kuozhi’s aunt should be around fifty years old, but she looked very young and had a good temperament, leaving a good first impression.
“This must be young Qi. Such a talented young man, so well-matched with our Kuozhi~”
Shen Kuozhi’s aunt, Meng Jiang, saw Qi Yue and praised him with a smile.
However, whether her words were sincere or just flattery, Qi Yue couldn’t tell.
“It’s my great fortune to meet you, Qi Yue.”
Shen Kuozhi placed his hand on Qi Yue’s slender waist, his eyes shining as he looked deeply at Qi Yue, smiling.
Qi Yue was stiffened by Shen Kuozhi’s sudden move, his expression also stunned. But soon he remembered the character Shen Kuozhi had assigned him.
So he furrowed his brows, raised his left hand slightly, as if about to slap away Shen Kuozhi’s hand, but halfway through, he seemed to remember something and ultimately put his hand down.
All these actions from Qi Yue were closely observed by Meng Jiang, who was watching them.
At this moment, others also came out of the house one after another. Shen Mengyu walked a bit faster and happened to hear Shen Kuozhi’s self-deprecating words.
She didn’t expect her cousin, who had a partner now, to look like this. She hadn’t noticed when he was single before.
“Alright, alright, you two, don’t get too lovey-dovey in front of grandma~ If you want to get lovey-dovey, wait until you’re alone~”
Shen Mengyu rolled her eyes and said with a smile.
“Haha~ Mengyu, you too. Kuozhi is getting married now. When will we hear news from you?”
Meng Jiang turned the topic to Shen Mengyu.
“Ah, today is to see grandma. Grandma must be impatient waiting for us. Let’s go in~”
Shen Mengyu didn’t answer Meng Jiang’s question but playfully changed the subject. The group went inside.
Inside, Shen Tan was playing chess with Grandma Shen, and Shen Hanxin was standing by.
“Kuozhi and Qi Yue are here? Second Brother, you said you wanted to see them, right? Come, Xinxin, accompany me in the game. You go check on those two kids.”
“Alright, then I’ll leave first, Mom.”
Just as this chess game ended, Shen Tan vacated his seat for Shen Hanxin to take over.
“Kuozhi, it’s been a while since we last met. I didn’t expect you to be at the age to settle down already.”
Shen Tan patted Shen Kuozhi’s shoulder and said with a smile.
Shen Tan had a square face, with a dignified appearance, but compared to Shen Kuozhi, he looked a bit rougher.
Shen Kuozhi nodded, holding Qi Yue’s hand with a domineering expression, as if he could trap people in it forever, and said, “This is my future partner, Qi Yue.”
“It’s rare to meet someone I like so much, so naturally, I want to give him a title.”
“Haha~ I didn’t expect my little brother to be like this when it comes to love.”
Shen Mengyu chuckled from the side, but obviously, she couldn’t suppress her laughter, her words tinged with a smile.
“Getting married is good, but Kuozhi, you shouldn’t slack off in your career.”
Although Shen Tan said this with a smile, his smile didn’t reach his eyes.
“The company has my brothers managing it, they’re much more professional than me. Why should I add chaos? It’s better to enjoy a carefree life like you and Aunt.”
Shen Kuozhi’s words were so sincere that Qi Yue got goosebumps on his arm.
If Shen Kuozhi hadn’t given him the green light in advance, he would have almost believed Shen Kuozhi’s seemingly innocent remarks.
“It’s different. You and Aunt have reached a certain age, but you’re still young. Young people should strive and work hard to make our Shen family flourish.”
“Uncle, you also know about my health condition. I can’t strain myself too much. Let my brothers handle the business.”
As he spoke, Shen Kuozhi coughed twice.
But he wasn’t wrong. Shen Kuozhi’s health was indeed not good.
“Ah…”
Hearing this, Shen Tan sighed briefly, looking quite concerned about Shen Kuozhi’s situation.
“The fruit is here. Let’s not just sit and chat. Let’s have some fruit~”
Seeing that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right, Meng Jiang brought over two fruit plates, interrupting their unpleasant conversation.
None of them brought up Shen Kuozhi’s health again.
Shen Kuozhi’s mouth approached Qi Yue’s tender earlobe, his breath spraying onto Qi Yue’s earlobe.
Shen Kuozhi whispered in a husky voice near Qi Yue’s ear, “Let me feed you.”
Their hands were still clasped together, and their intimate behavior made others feel embarrassed to interrupt.
But when Shen Kuozhi picked up a piece of fruit and brought it to Qi Yue’s lips, Qi Yue gently pushed away Shen Kuozhi’s hand and whispered, “I can do it myself.”
Shen Tan and Meng Jiang on the sofa were silently observing the two of them.
Although their gazes were discreet enough, for someone as sensitive to attention as Qi Yue, being stared at made him uncomfortable.
It seemed that life in Shen’s top-tier mansion in Beijing wasn’t as glamorous and comfortable as imagined.
At this moment, Grandma Shen, who had just finished playing chess, came over, smilingly saying, “It’s rare for everyone to gather together. Don’t leave tonight. I’ve already prepared the rooms for you.”
