The following day, Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan boarded a plane together, and more than seven hours later, the plane successfully landed at the Konohe Manor in New York, New Manhattan.
The estate is located in the heart of the Hudson Valley, about 28 miles north of Manhattan, and covers an area of approximately 6,000 acres.
Shen Xingcan had already informed her older brother and father before returning, so the four of them ate dinner together.
After dinner, Xie Linchuan went to the study with Qiaoerjin.
Having gone through this before, Shen Xingcan was much calmer this time.
He even had the leisure to chat with his older brother about his recent events.
Mosesen listened quietly to his younger brother's words, his cold and hard face softening.
It chirped and chattered, like a pretty little bird.
As the conversation went on, the topic of Nuowente inevitably came up.
Shen Xingcan said a lot, and finally commented. "If Second Brother doesn't change, he'll be dumped by Second Sister-in-law sooner or later."
Mosesen: "Yes."
Who will get dumped?
"I just came downstairs, "Qiaoerjin asked.
Shen Xingcan made no attempt to hide anything. "If my second brother doesn't change his womanizing ways, he'll run into trouble sooner or later."
Qiaoerjin: "You seem to have a lot to worry about."
Shen Xingcan feigned seriousness. "There's nothing I can do. As the youngest brother in this family, it's my duty to worry more."
Qiaoerjin burst into laughter, thoroughly amused by his youngest son.
For the next few days, Shen Xingcan became her father's personal accessory.
Five days later, Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan returned to Provence with the jewels and the violin.
For the past five days, Shen Xingcan went to work at the company with her father in the mornings and went on dates with Xie Linchuan in the afternoons.
In between, she was also spotted by passersby in China a few times.
My days are fulfilling and happy.
It was also quite bland.
These past few days, Shen Xingcan has still been sleeping with Xie Linchuan, in the kind of sleeping arrangement where they simply chat while covered by a blanket.
It's heartwarming, but also very immature!
The Ragdoll King considers himself a fully grown cat, is naturally unwilling to live such a celibate life.
However, it wouldn't be in line with Ragdoll King's cat persona to actively ask for something to happen, so Ragdoll King decided to do something to get his personal male servant to take the initiative.
The Ragdoll King's clothes in Manhattan are all very proper, but the Ragdoll King is very clever.
He improvised, grabbing a white shirt directly from his male servant's suitcase.
They departed at 8 PM, so shortly after boarding the plane, Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan returned to the lounge.
Shen Xingcan took over the bathroom in the lounge as a matter of course. After washing up, Shen Xingcan dried herself off and put on her man's shirt.
To achieve a better effect, Shen Xingcan only buttoned three buttons. Although she didn't reveal anything that shouldn't be shown, she still managed to achieve a perfectly subtle and suggestive effect.
Xie Linchuan was already sitting on the sofa, waiting to blow-dry Shen Xingcan's hair.
He raised an eyebrow when he saw Shen Xingcan's current attire.
Shen Xingcan said matter-of-factly and fiercely, "I couldn't find any pajamas I liked, so I'm temporarily borrowing yours. Do you have a problem with that?"
If Shen Xingcan hadn't added that last sentence, Xie Linchuan might have actually believed his story.
Xie Linchuan readily agreed, "How could I dare to have any objections to Your Majesty?"
Shen Xingcan said arrogantly, "That's more like it."
As he spoke, he straddled Xie Linchuan and had someone blow-dry his hair.
Soon, Shen Xingcan's curly hair was dried, Xie Linchuan skillfully braided it for him.
Shen Xingcan stroked her braid with satisfaction, then kissed Xie Linchuan's lips. "A reward."
He spoke indistinctly.
Xie Linchuan cooperated and let him kiss him.
The hand that should have been on Shen Xingcan's thigh quickly slid down her smooth skin and disappeared into her shirt.
Upon sensing the touch of his hand, Xie Linchuan's breath hitched, and the kiss quickly ended.
Xie Linchuan and Shen Xingcan touched foreheads, his voice low. "You wore my clothes because you couldn't find a suitable bathrobe, then... why aren't you wearing underwear?"
Shen Xingcan innocently replied, "I'm not wearing underwear because I discovered there aren't any new ones on the plane..."
Xie Linchuan slowly savored the warmth emanating from the person's skin. He lowered his head and kissed Shen Xingcan's beautiful profile. "Really not? What if I find it?"
Shen Xingcan didn't care. "Finding it only proves that Shen Xingcan has underwear."
Xie Linchuan pinched the cheek of the person in his arms and said irritably, "You're so cunning, Ragdoll King."
