Thinking of this, Shen Xingcan added, "You should not only feel touched, but also feel that this is a blessing for you!"

They have incredibly thick skin.

He lay there, his beautiful eyes brimming with vitality.

The thin blanket barely covered her chest, so the marks on her collarbone and shoulders were clearly visible.

As he watched, Xie Linchuan leaned down and kissed him again.

Shen Xingcan was clearly taken aback when Xie Linchuan suddenly kissed him; his beautiful peach blossom eyes widened in surprise for a moment.

But he quickly opened his mouth obediently.

The skin beneath the thin blanket was delicate and smooth, like warm jade.

Unable to control myself.

I love it so much I can't put it down.

Entangled, tender, affectionate.

It was as if they wanted to etch each other's essence into their very bones.

The only sounds in the room were their intertwined breaths and occasional whispers.

Shen Xingcan involuntarily grabbed Xie Linchuan's collar.

-

Under a thin blanket.

Xie Linchuan dressed neatly, quickly became just like Shen Xingcan.

Skin to skin.

My leg got hurt again.

Shen Xingcan found it hard to understand, Shen Xingcan found it unbelievable.

Even though it happened so many times last night, why is Xie Linchuan still so impulsive now?

After everything was over, Shen Xingcan was carried to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Shen Xingcan sat on the sofa in her bathrobe, muttering to herself, " Xie Linchuan, this is really strange. Did you eat something weird?"

Xie Linchuan: "..."

Shen Xingcan: "Why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that I guessed right?"

How can a person do it so many times? That's not scientific.

Xie Linchuan looked at Shen Xingcan: "I didn't eat it, but if Little Star wants to experience what it's like for me to eat something weird, I can eat it too."

Shen Xingcan said seriously, "I've politely declined. There's really no need for that."

He can't even handle this, so wouldn't Xie Linchuan, who has eaten strange things, be able to completely ruin him?

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xingcan spoke again, "... I think we should take a longer-term view. This won't do; it's too harmful to your health. I think we should plan how often we do 'that' in the future."

He needed to lay the groundwork beforehand so that he wouldn't be too passive when the two of them actually clashed.

Judging from Xie Linchuan's current trend, his future is not looking good at all; after all, he's not made of iron!

Xie Linchuan: "For example?"

Shen Xingcan immediately replied, "For example, once a year!"

Shen Xingcan, who is well-versed in the essence of negotiation, understands that if he wants to maximize his own interests, he must propose a condition that the other party will definitely not accept from the beginning.

Xie Linchuan: "Okay."

Shen Xingcan, who was waiting to negotiate, thought, "..."

Shen Xingcan's eyes widened, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with shock and disbelief. No, how could Xie Linchuan agree to that!

Once a year seems a bit too little; he's not exactly apathetic!

Are he and Xie Linchuan destined to become the legendary lovers Cowherd Weaver Girl, of the 21st century?!

Xie Linchuan: "Once a year, or once a year, that's fine."

Shen Xingcan: "..."

I knew this man wasn't a good person!

Shen Xingcan, slightly furious, retorted, "I might as well just stay on top."

Xie Linchuan chuckled softly, "Growing on top? That sounds pretty good."

Shen Xingcan grabbed a cushion next to her and smashed it over Xie Linchuan's head. "Aaaaaah, you pervert!"

Xie Linchuan dodged the hidden weapon aimed at him by tilting his head. "It was Little Star who wanted to grow on it. I was just fulfilling Little Star's wish. How is that perverted?"

Shen Xingcan became even angrier. "Shut up! Ahhh, Xie Linchuan, I'm going to kill you!"

Xie Linchuan reminded us, "The production team told us to gather on the first floor at nine o'clock, and it's already eight-thirty. Are you sure you want to use this half hour to kill me instead of changing clothes?"

Shen Xingcan: "..."

He glared fiercely at Xie Linchuan, then lowered his voice and said, "Man, you've successfully angered me. After today's show, I'll make you regret what you've done!"

The night passed, Xie Linchuan had clearly come to accept Shen Xingcan's occasional domineering CEO persona. "Just making me regret what I've done? Isn't President Shen's punishment method too childish?"

The domineering CEO whose punitive methods are despised by his enemies. Shen: "..."

Xie Linchuan whispered in Shen Xingcan's ear, "A real tyrant would say, 'After today's show, I'll make you beg for mercy until you can only do what I say.'"

Shen Xingcan: "..."

How did he manage to make Xie Linchuan beg for mercy?

By exploiting them?

But before he can be completely Xie Linchuan, he'll probably break down first.

Shen Xingcan's expression changed several times, finally squeezing out two words through gritted teeth. "... Pervert!"

Xie Linchuan feigned confusion. "I was trying to help Little Star think of ways to punish her, how did it turn into something so perverted?"

Shen Xingcan gave Xie Linchuan the middle finger.

But then someone grabbed her hand and kissed her middle finger. "Mmm, Little Star's fingers smell sweet."

Shen Xingcan: "..."

Ahhh! Xie Linchuan has really gone mad!

As if his pants were on fire, Shen Xingcan shook his hands and quickly ran to the dressing room to change his clothes.

His actions showed that he had no desire to be in the same space as Xie Linchuan any longer.

Xie Linchuan watched Shen Xingcan's retreating figure and chuckled.

Shen Xingcan, who had already reached the dressing room but could still hear Xie Linchuan's laughter, thought, "..."

I decisively locked the walk-in closet from the inside.

Shen Xingcan took off her bathrobe and, unsurprisingly, saw a body covered in various marks.

Do you consider yourself a dog?

He complained as he chose his clothes.

Low-cut tops are still out of the question; neither too loose nor too tight will work, because they'll rub against certain areas that Xie Linchuan has been paying special attention to...

Pants also require extra care... Choose ones made of soft fabric...

Ugh, that darn Xie Linchuan! He made him lose so much style points!

In the end, Shen Xingcan chose a light beige checkered shirt and a pair of off-white curved trousers for herself.

After changing her clothes, Shen Xingcan put on her watch and walked out of the dressing room.

Xie Linchuan, already dressed and waiting outside, exclaimed upon seeing Shen Xingcan's attire, "Baby, you look so beautiful!"

Shen Xingcan wasn't appreciative at all; his tone was extremely fierce. "If you don't act like a hooligan towards me, I can be even more beautiful."

Xie Linchuan reassured him, "The show will end in two days, then you can wear whatever you want."

Shen Xingcan rolled her eyes. "... Anyway, no matter what I say, you'll still act like a scoundrel towards me, right?"

"Yes, Star Baby is so cute, I couldn't resist."

" Xie Linchuan, you're so annoying."

Xie Linchuan chuckled.

Shen Xingcan: "..."

It's really hard to communicate with this kind of person.

-

Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan got on the elevator together.

The live stream has started in the castle's first-floor hall.

However, since it wasn't nine o'clock yet, not all the guests had arrived.

Shen Xingcan: "Good morning, everyone."

"Morning."

Song Tiantian greeted Shen Xingcan Shen Xingcan with a smile, praising his outfit. " Brother Xingcan, this outfit suits France autumn perfectly."

At this moment, Shen Xingcan was wearing a light beige striped shirt. The collar of the shirt, made of the same material, was loosely piled up, covering her Adam's apple and only revealing a section of her slender chin.

Her sleeves were casually rolled up, revealing her fair wrists.

The hem of the shirt just covered the waistband of the white curved trousers, the trouser legs were wide and draped, both lazy and not sloppy, and she wore a pair of white buckled leather shoes.

Apart from the watch on her wrist, the entire outfit had no other colors, yet it created an air of nonchalant elegance.

Like a young artist strolling the streets of Paris on a rainy day, casual yet with aloofness that keeps people at a distance.

[Today, it's the elegant little prince Chan.]

[Another day without seeing that Evil Ragdoll's neck... Did I ever think I'd ever see it again?]

I can only say it's very difficult.

[Actor Xie, may I kiss your beautiful wife? (*^▽^*)]

Soon, Shu Yan also arrived at the hall.

Good morning, everyone.

"Morning."

Jiang Yifeng ate some grapes from the table while asking curiously, "Why is Brother Shu Yan wearing a turtleneck shirt today too? The temperature in Provence has been quite nice lately; it won't get cold for another couple of days."

Shen Xingcan glanced at Jiang Yifeng: "Who told you that wearing a turtleneck will make you colder? It's a trend, it's a design, and you're a celebrity, for goodness' sake."

Jiang Yifeng muttered, "It's not that trendy. At least you looked better with your neck exposed, Captain."

Shen Xingcan: "That's what you think."

Jiang Yifeng nudged Zou Yanshu beside him with his elbow. " Little Green, what do you think?"

Zou Yanshu looked at Jiang Yifeng expressionlessly.

Although he still had that cute baby face, Jiang Yifeng could still sense the murderous aura emanating from him.

Jiang Yifeng silently shifted his position to the side.

[ Shu Yan is also wearing a turtleneck... Did Canbao's second brother come back yesterday?]

[ Shu Yan's walking speed and posture... seem a bit off.]

[Something's fishy, definitely something's fishy, and didn't you guys notice that Shu Yan gives off a different vibe today? A gentle yet alluring charm??]

[Wearing a turtleneck means something's up? Keep spreading rumors and you might get sued.]

[Based on my experience, Shu Yan looks like she's been thoroughly pampered.]

[ Shu Yan and Nuowente? That can't be, right?]

[Stop spreading rumors, Shu Yan and Nuowente have nothing to do with each other.]

After all the guests had arrived, the group went to the dining room. Just as everyone sat down, Nuowente, dressed casually, also entered the dining room.

Shen Xingcan didn't call him "Second Brother," but instead rolled his eyes at him.

Nuowente: "... Shen Xingcan, can't you have any manners? You rolled your eyes at me because I didn't call you 'Second Brother'?"

Shen Xingcan said provocatively, "Then go call 17 and get the police to arrest me."

Knowing full well that his sister-in-law had a show to record today, he still acted like a beast?

Didn't you see his second sister-in-law frown when she first sat down?!

You're a beast, just like Xie Linchuan!

Thinking of this, Shen Xingcan rolled her eyes at her second brother and then stomped hard on Xie Linchuan's foot under the table.

Nuowente: "... You've really been spoiled rotten by your father."

Shen Xingcan shrugged, looking smug and arrogant. "Who told Dad to like me? Hehehe."

Nuowente clicked his tongue, then casually pulled out a chair and sat down next to Shu Yan.

The familiar scent enveloped Shu Yan Shu Yan again, causing her heart to race uncontrollably.

Even though the two of them have already done very intimate things, they still pretend to be strangers in front of everyone.

Shen Xingcan: "The show is over, what are your plans next, Second Brother?"

Nuowente replied casually, "I've taken a two-week break. I'll go back to my family home in the United States to pick up some things, and spend the rest of the time traveling around with your sister-in-law."

Shen Xingcan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Going back to the family home in United States to retrieve something? It wouldn't be those jewels that Mom specially prepared for your daughter-in-law, would it?"

Song Tiantian asked curiously, "Jewelry prepared for your daughter-in-law? So Xingcan has some too?"

Shen Xingcan nodded. "Yes, I have one, Xie Linchuan has one too. The four of us each have one. We've been collecting those jewels since we were born, right up until now."

Ye Ran exclaimed in surprise.

Nuowente: "Yes, there happens to be a fancy vivid pink diamond in the jewelry collection, and I plan to design a ring with it as the main stone."

Shen Xingcan was particularly gossipy, and he pressed his second brother for details. "And then? You designed it as a ring, and then what?"

Nuowente said casually, "Then send it to your second sister-in-law."

Shen Xingcan began to exclaim with exaggerated intonation, " Nuowente, you're in trouble! You've fallen in love!"

[Huh? Nuowente's getting married? Holy crap! Who on earth took this womanizer in?!]

[How could such a sudden release of news have topped the trending searches in multiple countries?]

[No, there was absolutely no news before this! Who is it? Could it be that Asian model from a while ago? Or that Western movie star from before?]

[It feels a bit unreal; how could such a womanizing and philandering person actually get married?]

[It might not even be a wedding; they only said it was a ring gift... But regardless, this person is definitely special to Nuowente, considering he used the jewelry Empress Shen had prepared for his daughter-in-law.]

[ Shu Yan's face is so red... Could this second sister-in-law really be him?]

After sighing, Shen Xingcan pressed on, "When will I be able to see my second sister-in-law?"

Nuowente glanced at Shen Xingcan: "It depends on your second sister-in-law's mood."

"Oh, should I prepare a small gift for our meeting?"

Nuowente didn't stand on ceremony with his brother. "Yes."

Shen Xingcan: "What does my second sister-in-law like? I'll prepare a gift according to her preferences."

Nuowente Shu Yan's hand from under the table, his voice languid. "Just give me whatever you feel the pinch."

Shen Xingcan's face paled. "No! Xie Linchuan is the Evil Ragdoll King's Exclusive Manservant. I can't give him to my second sister-in-law. You should let me give him to someone else."

Nuowente: "..."

Xie Linchuan: "..."

Shu Yan: "..."

[Would it hurt the most to send Xie Linchuan? That shows how much you care about your husband.]

[ The Evil Ragdoll Cat truly lives up to its name.]

[Pfft, hahaha, oh my god, how can this kitten be so cute?!]

Nuowente's temple throbbed involuntarily. " Stella, don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Xingcan said innocently, "You said it, the only thing that hurts me the most is giving it to Xie Linchuan."

Nuowente: "... give Aosefu those four violins he made for you."

Shen Xingcan was very generous. "Sure, but wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? Because it's common knowledge that Shen Xingcan doesn't like violins, and giving my second sister-in-law something I don't like... wouldn't that make me seem like I don't value my second sister-in-law enough?"

Nuowente: " Aosefu has been dead for many years, and your four violins are priceless. Even if your second sister-in-law doesn't like violins, she can still put them up for auction; she won't think you don't value them."
