"You still have a guilty conscience on your face."
Pei Wan's deep eyes became increasingly resentful, and there was a sad aura lingering around him.
Shen Yi pinched his eyebrows, and finally stood up slowly, gently holding his man's arm, and holding his palms tightly with both hands in a comforting manner.
Then he said awkwardly to the juniors, "I'm sorry, your father and I are a little young to discuss it first. You guys eat first."
Without saying a word, he dragged Pei Wan upstairs.
Pei Wan's fingertips rubbed his wife's soft hand, letting her drag her uncooperative body.
Lin Shutang looked away from the two people's leaving figures.
Pei Linyue leaned back lazily on the chair, put his hands behind his head, and explained to her with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, my dad is going through menopause. Sometimes it's inevitable that things will be a little unusual. Just get used to it."
Pei Linshen's expression didn't change, and he was still cutting the steak slowly, as if he was used to it.
Lin Shutang lowered his eyes slightly, "The relationship between uncle and aunt is really good."
There was a shadow in her eyes.
His eyes fell on the hand intertwined with Shen Si's.
When Uncle Pei pretended to embarrass her just now, Shen Si knew that the other party had no intention of harming her, but he still chose to side with her immediately.
He is like this at all times.
Shen Si's hand, which was originally resting on the back of her chair, fell on her neck and squeezed gently, making an intimate gesture.
"Baby, our relationship will get better and better in the future."
Then she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her cold white arms, peeled a shrimp and put it on her plate.
Pei Linyue let out a long sigh when he saw this.
My father peeled shrimps for my mother, and Brother Shen peeled shrimps for my sister-in-law.
Only her plate was empty.
Then she saw her brother taking a shrimp and peeling it open gracefully.
Pei Linyue burst into tears of gratitude, "It's my brother who loves me the most..."
Before he finished saying "I", he threw the peeled shrimp to the pet brought by the housekeeper.
The fluffy ball jumped up, bit the shrimp, and rubbed its big round head against Pei Linshen's trousers.
Pei Linshen smiled, peeled off another one and threw it to it.
Only then did Lin Shutang see clearly what this happy and happy thing was. It was actually a little lion cub that had not yet reached adulthood.
The whole body is creamy yellow, and the hair is smooth and shiny. It can be seen that he is well-raised and very close to his family, especially Pei Linshen.
Pei Linyue: "..."
She couldn't stay in this house any longer.
The little lion had enough to eat and drink, so he nuzzled around everyone's legs.
Maybe it was because he smelled a stranger and stayed at Lin Shutang's feet for an extra long time.
At first, Lin Shutang was a little uncomfortable with it, but then she saw the little lion nuzzling her fingers with the tip of its nose, like a kitten, soft and cute, and then looked at her with bright eyes.
Shen Si smiled and explained, "Yueyue likes you very much. I want you to touch her."
Lin Shutang hesitated for a moment, then tentatively placed his fingers on its head.
It rubbed back and forth in her palm, reminding her of the fat and tender Samoyed raised by Qin Yufeng.
But it is a lion after all. Even if it is not an adult, lying there when it is not acting cute is still a deterrent.
"Do you like it?" Shen Si asked her softly while putting food on her plate.
Lin Shutang's eyes lit up, "I like it."
Shen Si's finger gently scratched her nose, "Linshen brought three of them back. Apart from this one, the other two are kept in the zoo. You can pick one to take away later."
Lin Shutang: "...can it really be raised?"
Pei Linyue held her chin and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you prefer males or females?"
Before Lin Shutang could speak, Shen Si asserted, "Mother."
"Sister-in-law hasn't said anything yet. Brother Shen, why are you so anxious?"
Pei Linyue smiled sinisterly, "Just now you said you would let my sister-in-law choose by herself, but now she has made her own decision."
The remaining two are a male and a female.
Pei Linshen raised this cat and deliberately named it 'Yueyue', which was enough to make her angry.
Pei Linyue was eager to send the remaining two away quickly.
She looked at Lin Shutang and said, "Sister-in-law, you choose one."
Lin Shutang looked at the one rubbing against her palm and asked softly, "Is Yueyue a male or a female?"
"Mr." Pei Linshen replied.
He raised his eyes slightly and said, "If sister-in-law likes it, Yueyue can give it to you."
How could Lin Shutang steal someone's love? So he laughed and said, "I just want another male. Thank you."
Shen Si clicked his tongue and gently brushed her face with his fingertips, "Baby, you are trying to tear me down."
"The male lion will grow up to be very handsome!" Lin Shutang could not help but think of the Lion King in the animal world. "Shen Si, I want a male!"
Her fingers gently pulled on his cuffs and shook them a few times, her eyes swaying with desire.
It was the first time that she took the initiative to ask for something and she was rarely so coquettish. Shen Si couldn't stand it, so how could he have any objections.
However, he still said deliberately and sadly, "Okay, but how can you compensate me."
Lin Shutang raised his head, and the light came into his eyes together with him, "Then...what do you want?"
He suddenly lowered his head and whispered something in her ear. Lin Shutang's face turned red visibly, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
Shen Si laughed softly. Seeing her immersed in cutting steak, her ears were red.
Then he loosened his collar, raised his head slightly, and said to Pei Linyue, "I want a male."
Pei Linyue came close to Lin Shutang, "Sister-in-law, your face is so red, does Brother Shen want you to do something shameful?"
Lin Shutang coughed several times and almost choked. A warm palm passed behind her and handed her a glass of water.
Shen Si glanced at Pei Linyue and said, "Don't worry about the children and adults, just have a good meal."
Pei Linyue spread her hands, "What else should I eat? I'm full of dog food."
Pei Linshen continued to peel shrimps and feed the lion cubs, but he was no longer hungry.
The people in the restaurant were talking, and after a while the elders came back.
Shen Yi's lips were obviously a little red, and his eyes were covered with water, and they were charming.
Pei Wan was in a much better mood than before. When facing them, his handsome face even had a slight smile.
After the meal, the family sat in the living room.
Shen Yi took out an exquisite gem box and handed it to Lin Shutang.
The wooden box is heavy, with carved patterns on it, and the patterns are plated with gold.
A dozen expensive emeralds and sapphires are inlaid on the edge of the pattern.
Shen Yi said with a smile, "There is a custom in Shencheng that after a girl is recognized as her daughter-in-law, she must give a greeting gift. I have thought about what to give you for a long time. It would be too cliché to give you money directly. If I give you something on the market, The jewelry I can buy is not enough, so after much thought, this is the most appropriate gift."
She motioned to Lin Shutang to open it.
Lying quietly in the gem box was a priceless crown.
Lin Shutang's eyes were astonished.
Shen Yi said, "Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtang never had any concubines in his life and only married one queen. This crown was the one he wore when he was canonized as queen. I also wore it at my wedding to your uncle. , so it means a lot. I hope you and Ah Si can be like them and like us, and be a couple for the rest of their lives."
