Chapter 142: Chapter 42 Tranquility_2

"Moreover, the police investigated for nearly half a month before they learned from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the hospital that the woman was actually infertile by nature and couldn’t have children at all. Even her own family didn’t know this, and it was only after her marriage that she discovered she couldn’t get pregnant and started to suspect, leading her to get tested at the hospital on her own. I guess it’s also for this reason that she chose to take that step."

"But for three full years, she kept this matter tightly hidden and didn’t let anyone know. During those three years, by serving her in-laws, she gained quite a few benefits from Chen Han’s parents; it seemed she had long been prepared for this."

"If her own family hadn’t been kind to her, it wouldn’t matter, but in fact, because she was their only daughter and was smart and beautiful, her family doted on her a lot. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have struggled to get the money for her to attend high school despite their financial difficulties."

Lin Xiaoguai was somewhat astonished; she felt that the woman Shen Chi was talking about vaguely resembled her former self, or maybe it was not quite the same since only parts of their situations were similar, everything else was completely different.

Such a person, other than being "naturally evil," she really couldn’t think of any other adjectives.

Moreover, only she understood how painful it was for a woman when she was unable to conceive; yet the other party managed to conceal it for three years without any slips, keeping her emotions to herself. This was beyond what could be described as deep scheming.

Such a woman, too cruel and too patient.

"Since then, Chen Han became very guarded against women who seemed too perfect, to the point of being faultless. Except for those whose intentions were very transparent and could be seen through at a glance, it was generally hard for him not to estrange them. Moreover, without elder family members making arrangements, and with his two sisters living far away, his marriage had been delayed like this." What Shen Chi didn’t say was that he felt Chen Han’s persistent apprehension was unnecessary; the woman had succeeded initially not only because of her own abilities but also because neither the astute Mr. Chen nor the meticulous Chen Han were present. His mother, despite being the wife of a village leader, was just a regular housewife, how could she compete with such a cunning woman?

If Chen Han were to marry a woman like that now, it’s likely that he would realize the abnormality from their daily interactions before she could even take action.

However, saying this might seem like he was talking without having to bear the consequences, especially since Chen Han truly lost quite a lot because of that woman.

"Do you think Su Qianqian is suitable for him?" Before Shen Chi could answer, Lin Xiaoguai scoffed, "Isn’t it because of her family background?"

She still didn’t know Shen Chi well; this man was a person who wouldn’t act without interest.

If Su Qianqian’s father wasn’t Mr. Su, given her spoiled reputation, Shen Chi would definitely not have thought of matching her with Chen Han.

Shen Chi wasn’t surprised that he couldn’t keep his thoughts from Lin Xiaoguai; he pulled her into his arms, kissed her earlobe, and was pleased to see her body tremble almost imperceptibly, then he gently coaxed in her ear, "Good Wanwan, as long as I didn’t marry you for your family background, that’s fine, right? Don’t be angry, okay?" After all, wasn’t it his fault for not giving her any heads up? But that matter was really hard to explain.

Lin Xiaoguai’s face flushed red, she pushed him but couldn’t move his embrace at all, the bastard, always using this move!

The person in his arms felt exceptionally soft, and Shen Chi’s smile deepened. He deeply inhaled the scent that belonged to Lin Xiaoguai, his lips brushing her collarbone, his voice husky, "Wanwan, will you join me for a bath?"

"I’ve already bathed!" Lin Xiaoguai said indignantly.

"That’s okay, we can bathe again."

Before Lin Xiaoguai could reply, Shen Chi had already picked her up and was walking her toward the bathroom.

"Shen Chi, you bastard! Hoodlum! Put me down!" Thinking of what Shen Chi had done to her in the bathroom last time, Lin Xiaoguai’s entire face flushed red, her tone full of panic.

"Baby, don’t move, or I won’t be able to hold back." Shen Chi’s voice was cool and mellow, the tail end carrying a tingling huskiness. Lin Xiaoguai was both embarrassed and angry, her body going soft in his arms, watery mist forming in her eyes.

Soon, fragmented moans and muffled breaths intermittently came from the bathroom, mixed with Lin Xiaoguai’s indignant protests and Shen Chi’s gentle coaxing.

Lin Xiaoguai was carried out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel by Shen Chi, who himself wore nothing.

Once in bed under the covers, Shen Chi nestled her soft, pliant body into his embrace and tenderly kissed her lips, his voice low and gentle, "Tired?"

The bedding was still cold; Lin Xiaoguai, already slightly shivering from the cold air outside, didn’t care that neither of them were dressed, curling up into his embrace—even in winter, even though she had just worn a towel, Shen Chi’s body temperature was always higher than hers.

"Bastard, no more..." Lin Xiaoguai was already so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, her consciousness not quite clear, she murmured softly without really hearing what he had said.

Lowering his head to look at Lin Xiaoguai’s cheeks, pink with a flush, Shen Chi smiled slightly, unable to resist gently stroking her, his expression tender, "Sleep."

He gently soothed her back, embracing the most precious treasure of his life; his heart felt an unprecedented peace. (To be continued.
