Chapter 256: When the men of the Jiang Family get frisky, they are irresistible.

The old lady received a message and wished she could broadcast it far and wide, so Jiang Jinsang also got the message and sent a text to Jiang Yanting.

But at that moment, Jiang Yanting's phone was in Jiangjiang's hand, as they had just returned from buying groceries at the supermarket. He was fiddling with his dad's phone, trying to pay, yet he couldn't find the interface.

"I'll show you, you enter from here." Shen Zhixian laughed as she watched him, bending over to teach him hand- in-hand...

Even if Jiangjiang turned into a swollen pig head, just staring at his classmate's design, in her eyes, he was the cutest.

She had intended to pay, but Jiangjiang blurted out, “It's already a lot for you to cook, how could we let you pay for the groceries too? Grandma says that's all man's work." The little one was proudly authoritative, which made Shen Zhixian unable to contain her laughter.

She didn't insist on paying herself, it was just stuff worth a hundred or so yuan, no need for all the polite back- and-forth.

She bent over to teach him how to pay. Just as her finger slid across the phone, Jiang Jinsang's message popped up: [Bro, congratulations, grab the chance, don't let your sister-in-law away again.] Sister-in-law? Shen Zhixian's face instantly becflush with heat.

"Who's the message from?” Jiang Yanting leaned in.

"It's nothing." Shen Zhixian coughed and continued to guide Jiangjiang in making the payment.

The supermarket was right next to the residential area, and as the three of them walked there and just made their payment, Jiangjiang was using gestures to prompt his slacker dad: What are you standing around for! Carry the bags! This is your chance to show off, cherish it.

"I'll take it." Jiang Yanting took the shopping bags as Shen Zhixian walked out hand-in-hand with Jiangjiang, stopping along the way hto buy him a cup of hot milk.

"Did you bring the keys?" Jiang Yanting asked.

Shen Zhixian patted her pocket, "Got them." She had thought that coming clean with Jiang Yanting today would be one of the darkest periods of her recent years, but she hadn't expected to be welcomed by Jiangjiang, who was so polite and adorable. She was sincerely happy, yet regretted missing out on so many years with him.

"What did the locksmith who opened the door say to you afterward?" Jiang Yanting pressed.

"What?" Shen Zhixian started playing dumb.

"He seemed to think I was physically abusing you." Jiang Yanting wasn't naive. The locksmith had made his thoughts quite clear, and he just wanted to know what had been said afterward.

Jiangjiang, biting on his straw, had been holding onto Shen Zhixian's hand the whole time; having heard every single word, he spoke up.

"That uncle said your husband looks a bit fierce..." Husband? Shen Zhixian coughed lightly, "Drink less milk, or you won't have room for dinner." Walking beside them, Jiang Yanting chuckled, making her blush and feel extremely embarrassed.

They had dated before but never married or obtained a marriage certificate. She wasn't the kind to casually refer to someone as husband or wife, but she had called him that before, during certain particularly intimate moments, and that was when she was coerced. Thinking about it now naturally turned her face even redder...

** After arriving at the apartment, Shen Zhixian headed into the kitchen. Jiangjiang wanted to follow but was caught by Jiang Yanting's arm.

"Dad?" "You watch TV outside. I need to talk to Mom, okay?" "I..." Jiangjiang wasn't pleased, but faced with that stern face, which had scared him since he was little, he succumbed to his intimidating presence, nodded, and obediently sat on the sofa.

Shen Zhixian, out of the corner of her eye, saw him cinto the kitchen and raised her hand to dose the sliding glass door that separated the kitchen and the living room, "What are you doing here, it's quite smoky." "Been crying again?" Jiang Yanting studied her.

Shen Zhixian laughed without saying a word, just thought of all the years' issues, feeling they couldn't be ignored.

"From the Xie Family, who do you think is suspicious? Or could it be more than one person?"

Shen Zhixian shook her head, "These past years they've helpedso much, even with the postpartum hemorrhage, confinement, even helping me..." She choked up, "When I gave birth, they saved my life. I really can't think of any reason why they would do such a thing?" "If it wasn't them, it couldn't possibly be the medical staff at the hospital, right? They have even less reason to." "I know." Shen Zhixian was well aware, the ghost was in the Xie Family, "I was in shock after giving birth for a long time, that period is all a blur in my memory..."

"Then stop thinking about it, I'll look m into it." Jiang Yanting walked over and gently hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder and neck, lightly nuzzling her, tickling her a bit, "Xianxian-" His voice was hoarse and deep, hinting at a touch of sexiness.

"Don't, Jiangjiang is still outside..." Shen Zhixian was preparing vegetables, her hands were dirty, and she couldn't move to push him away, which made him all the more bold.
