Chapter 197: Exchange of Rings at the Wedding
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the afternoon, Nan Ge slowly woke up.
She turned around and looked at the space beside her. Shen Yanqing was no longer there.
She reached out and touched the blanket. His side was a little cold. He should have left for a while.
Looking at the time on the wall, it was already two o’clock.
Nan Ge was in a daze for a moment.
Had she slept for so long?
No, what time did she sleep?
She carefully recalled what happened last night and bit her lower lip. She was a little ashamed.
Their first time last night was in the closet.
They had already done enough foreplay, and they were just there to get something, but this was the first time she had seen Shen Yanqing lose control.
Fortunately, the closet was spacious and there was more than enough space on the sofa. The furry carpet could also be used.
Later on, when they returned to the bed in the master bedroom, it was very gentle and slow at first and they were not that impulsive. Later on, she interrupted him. It was probably because he felt excited by the ring and blessings that things got out of hand.
The most exciting thing was that when she tilted her head last night, his hand was on the side of her head. The ring on the man’s hand was especially dazzling.
He even deliberately grabbed her hand and intertwined his fingers. He was the one who put the female ring on her finger.
The two of them seemed to have undergone a wedding ceremony to exchange rings in advance. Just thinking about it made her blush and her heart beat faster.
She could not remember what time she slept. She only knew that the rain outside the window was lighter than before and she could no longer hear anything.
Then, at dawn in the morning, someone called Shen Yanqing.
Both of them were woken up. After the call ended, she was in a daze. It was as if the two of them had taken the opportunity to do another round again while the sun was shining outside the window.
After that… she slept until now.
She did not even notice when Shen Yanqing went out.
Nan Ge did not dare to think about what had happened last night. She hugged the blanket and slowly turned over on the bed like she did not have the drive to do anything at all.
It was fine if she did not move, but once she moved, she felt uncomfortable everywhere.
It was not particularly painful. It was just a little uncomfortable, and she could sense something different about her.
It was not easy to describe.
However, it was definitely not as exaggerated as others described.
She thought randomly and fell asleep again after a while.
Downstairs, Shen Yanqing waited for a while before he saw a familiar car turn in and stop in front of him.
Auntie Wang got out of the backseat with a polite smile on her face.
“Auntie.” Shen Yanqing went forward.
Auntie Wang took the food from the driver beside her and handed it to him.
“This is the soup I made, as well as the longevity noodles and some side dishes.
It’s for two people. It should suit you and Nan Ge.”
“Thank you, Auntie. Sorry to trouble you.”
Shen Yanqing took them one by one.
Early in the morning, his father called him and asked if he was free to go back to the old residence today for a meal.
At the thought that it would be afternoon when Nan Ge woke up and they had booked a restaurant at night, he turned down the offer.
His father did not force him, but Auntie Wang had already prepared the ingredients. They suggested preparing the food first and sending it to his place instead.
He did not want to trouble Auntie Wang, but his father said on the phone that she just wanted to do a little something for him on his birthday.
Auntie Wang originally wanted to leave the old residence at ten o’clock, so that he and Nan Ge could have lunch on time. He said that Nan Ge should sleep until the afternoon since she was drunk last night and asked Auntie Wang to come over after lunch at the old residence.
“It’s no trouble at all.” Auntie Wang pointed at one of the small bags. “There’s some honey here. A friend of mine brought it over two days ago. I think it’s quite good. There are two jars left, so I brought them over for you.”
“You can’t drink, but Nan Ge is young, so she probably still likes to party. Sometimes, it’s unavoidable. You can make some honey water for her in the future.”
Auntie Wang had heard that Nan Ge was drunk on the phone and took note of
it.
Shen Yanqing did not expect her to be so considerate.
“Alright, just go up. You have to pour out the noodles quickly. It might be a little lumpy, but it shouldn’t affect the taste.”
“Just go on up. I’m leaving now.” Auntie Wang waved at him and gestured for him to go up quickly. “Oh right, Yanqing. Happy birthday. Good luck with your work.”
Hearing this, Shen Yanqing paused.
When he woke up, he indeed received a lot of blessings.
From classmates, friends, colleagues, employees, or some business partners and relatives.
There were all kinds of text messages.
However, his biological mother did not do anything.
He was already used to it. He was not disappointed or sad.
But after hearing Auntie Wang’s words, a corner of his heart silently collapsed.
Shen Yanqing did not know that Nan Ge had just woken up.
He put aside the things that Auntie Wang had sent over one by one, washed his hands, and returned to his room quietly.
Compared to when he left, Nan Ge’s posture had changed.
When he left, she was still lying on the pillow obediently. Now, she hugged the blanket and curled up.
He quickly turned up the temperature of the central air conditioner.
It was already two o’clock. If she continued sleeping, she would really wake up only in time for dinner.
After struggling for a few minutes, Shen Yanqing finally walked towards the bed.
“Youyou.”
Nan Ge was not in a deep sleep. She woke up as soon as he spoke.
Shen Yanqing knelt on one knee by the bed and leaned over to her. “Get up and eat something first. Auntie Wang just made some food and sent it over. You can rest more after eating.”
He was not wearing glasses and was wearing plain white home clothes. He looked nice to hug.
Nan Ge did not hesitate and reached out to him. Shen Yanqing pulled her into his arms and lay beside her waiting for her to wake up. to accompany her in her nap.
“Where did you go just now? Did you go meet Auntie Wang?”
“Uh huh. I waited for her downstairs for a while.”
“Oh.” Nan Ge yawned. She was still very sleepy.
“Auntie Wang made noodles and a few of your favorite dishes. Didn’t you say that her soup was delicious when we went to the old residence last time? There’s some today.”
“Has she gone back? Didn’t she come up to sit?” Nan Ge felt a little guilty.
“No. I told her that you were drunk last night and haven’t woken up yet.” Shen Yanqing stroked her back. “It’s fine. When I come back from overseas, I’ll bring you back to the old residence to visit.”
Nan Ge really did not want to move. In the end, Shen Yanqing carried her to wash up.
She leaned on his shoulder. When she passed by the closet, she could not help but take a few more glances.
The sofa and carpet had been cleaned up as if nothing had happened.
However, with just one look, the scene from last night could not help but play in her mind. It was the kind where the sound and footage were synchronized. It had rained all night last night, and the room seemed to be covered in a layer of water vapor. It was chaotic, damp, blurry, and hot.
“What time did you sleep?” She had the impression that Shen Yanqing had helped her clean up. She did not know when he fell asleep.
“I didn’t notice the time.” Shen Yanqing handed her the toothbrush. “But after I was woken up by the phone this morning, I think I slept for an hour.”
Nan Ge looked at him in disbelief. She had only slept for three hours at most at night.
It did not sound like much sleep at all. It wasn’t even half of hers.
“Despite your age, you didn’t sleep much at all. Why do you look more energetic than me?”
Shen Yanqing,
