Noticing Su Mingxian's hesitation, Shen Chi gentlemanly placed the key on the dining table and said, "You three can use the big bed; I'll take the simple bed."
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Su Mingxian replied with an embarrassed expression, though she felt pleased that Shen Chi was being so accommodating.
Shen Chi raised his gaze, taking everything in. With a slight smile, he said, "There's nothing to feel embarrassed about; I won't be staying here all the time."
"Settle in here for now. I'll have someone look into that matter over there." He then took out a pen and paper, swiftly writing down a series of numbers. "This is my contact information."
Su Mingxian reached out to take it. His handwriting was still as vigorous and flowing as ever, reflecting his decisive and efficient nature, which could be intimidating. Just then, a faint scent of tobacco wafted into her nostrils. When she opened her eyes again, Shen Chi had already passed her and walked to the door.
"Hey—" Su Mingxian instinctively called out, but immediately regretted it after she spoke.
Shen Chi suddenly turned around, his deep phoenix eyes locking onto her. "Is there something else?"
His voice remained cold and emotionless. Su Mingxian awkwardly smiled, her hands clenched tightly as she hesitantly said, "Well, since we've moved into a new place, we should follow the old tradition of lighting a stove or something. Plus, since you and Fang Dahai took time out of your busy schedules to help, as a thank you... how about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
Su Mingxian forced herself to say this as a tentative suggestion, not really expecting him to accept—just being polite.
To her surprise, Qian Qian took it seriously and rushed over from the living room, timidly grabbing Shen Chi's hand. "Daddy, can we eat dinner together tonight? Mommy's cooking is really delicious!"
Shen Chi paused for a moment, then squinted at Su Mingxian. Just earlier she had been crying and clamoring for a divorce; now she wanted to have dinner together?
"Okay."
"What's wrong with you?"
After the guests left, Su Mingxian felt utterly frustrated.
On the other hand, Qian Qian was overjoyed. "Mommy, Mommy, Daddy said he would come back for dinner tonight!"
Su Mingxian twitched her lips and gave her a firm tap on the forehead. "I know, I know. Look at you, so happy—such a little traitor."
Qian Qian immediately covered her head and made a funny face. "Mommy can't be mad at me! Besides, I didn't lie; Mommy just wants Daddy!"
"You dare to argue? Take this!"
"Ah! Mommy, I'm sorry! Hahaha, please forgive me this time!"
Soon, the room was filled with playful banter, bringing a touch of laughter to the once cold home.
Shen Chi stood at the door, his hand poised to knock but then withdrew. He quickly made his way downstairs.
Fang Dahai was anxiously checking the time in the car. "Hey, Brother Chi Zi, you finally came down! If you don't hurry, we're going to be late!"
Shen Chi got into the car without saying a word, while Fang Dahai's eyes sparkled with curiosity. He joked, "What’s this? The hero of the gentle realm has fallen so quickly?"
Shen Chi shot him a cold glance. "Just drive."
Fang Dahai chuckled as he drove, saying, "But I never expected Sister-in-law to be so beautiful and stylish. She's completely different from those women from the countryside. Brother Chi Zi, you really have an eye for talent."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But about that kid with the surname Huang, should I—"
"You didn't notice how familiar he looks?" Shen Chi interrupted him forcefully before he could finish.
"Huh? Familiar?" Fang Dahai blinked, appearing to ponder seriously for a moment. "Really? I didn't notice that at all."
