"Ah..."
The Second Madam struggled to speak, but could only utter hoarse and labored sounds.
"Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's just let it go," Shen Tianhong clearly hadn't expected such an outcome. "Wanwan, your second aunt was just concerned about you. Since it was a misunderstanding, don't hold a grudge..."
"Misunderstanding? I don't think so."
"Then I'll apologize on her behalf."
"I accept it, but I won't accept the insult to Shen Siyan."
Shen Tianhong's face instantly darkened.
Did this mean she disagreed?
"Then what do you want?"
"Haven't I already shown it?" Shi Wan cast a cold glance at the Second Madam. "If there's a next time, it won't be this simple."
The Second Madam was so angry that she wanted to tear Shi Wan apart, but before she could even touch her, Shen Tianhong stopped her.
"She's still your second aunt."
"No one can get away with insulting him."
Shen Siyan was so happy that he almost burst into laughter. He let out a low chuckle without any regard for the other two present.
Shen Tianhong and the Second Madam's faces darkened to the extreme, but they didn't want to get entangled at this moment. They could only find a way to make up for today's losses elsewhere.
"In that case, I'll take her back first."
The Second Madam was reluctant, but since she couldn't stop Shen Tianhong, she was forced to leave.
As long as Shen Siyan was safe, Old Master Shen didn't care about anything else. He said nothing and went upstairs.
"Darling, let's go back too."
"Okay."
As soon as they reached their courtyard, the man tightened his grip on her hand. As soon as they entered the door, he couldn't wait to circle her in his arms. A passionate kiss landed on her, strong yet tender...
Shi Wan came to her senses, raised her hand to circle the man's neck, and tentatively responded.
Unexpectedly, this response seemed to trigger something. The man kissed even more forcefully, as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
"Ouch... it hurts."
She couldn't help but whimper.
Fortunately, there was no one in the courtyard, or it would have been so embarrassing if someone had seen them.
"Did I hurt you?"
He let go of her, but didn't leave her lips. Instead, he shifted his target. His hot breath sprayed on her neck, and then, her most sensitive earlobe was gently taken into his mouth...
She shivered, and her slender little hand tightly grabbed the man's clothes on his chest. Her beautiful eyes were wet, like a lost elk, helpless and pitiful.
"Did I hurt you?"
Meeting her slightly red beautiful eyes that had been bullied, his breathing became a bit heavier, and his sexy voice was hoarse.
"A little. Then... be gentle?"
She blinked gently, and a layer of mist filled her beautiful eyes.
Shen Siyan's breath caught in his throat, and the hand on her waist tightened even more.
"...Little demoness."
Didn't she know that the way she looked now would only make people want to bully her severely?
"Then does the master want to... exorcise the demon?"
She imitated his way of flirting with him. Any random action of hers could make him lose his composure, not to mention now...
"Yes."
He lifted her chin, smiled softly, leaned down to kiss her, and removed the obstacles on her body...
...
Shi Wan didn't forget to go and see Li Si's mother. She held Shen Siyan's hand and walked through the dirty and messy alleys. The barking of dogs was right beside their ears. The alley in the early morning was filled with the breath of people struggling to live.
Shen Siyan, who had never been to such places before, frowned and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Shi Wan looked up at him. "Are you not used to it? Otherwise..."
"No, I'm just wondering if you'll cry if my shoes get dirty?"
He teased her.
"Then carry me on your back."
"Come on up." He squatted down in front of her as she asked and carried her steadily on his back. As he walked, he said, "Do I get any rewards for this?"
"Yes. I'll reward you with a wife like me."
"You're already mine," he chuckled. "I'll make my own request."
She pretended to be angry. "So you've had an ulterior motive all along?"
"Otherwise?" He patted her buttocks. "But before that, I have to fatten you up a bit. Otherwise, like last night..."
Shi Wan: "..."
It was clearly someone who didn't know how to control himself.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Li Si's house.
"Boss, you're finally here! Mr. Shen."
Li Si, who was guarding outside, immediately ran up when he saw them, looking anxious.
"Put me down."
Shen Siyan put her down but still held her hand.
Shi Wan ignored him. "Let's go in."
Li Si's mother was terminally ill. No hospital dared to take her in this situation.
When they saw her, she was in a deep coma and in great danger.
Shi Wan didn't dare to delay. She took out the silver needles and started the acupuncture, accurately piercing the acupoints. Then she forcefully pinched her thumb.
For some reason, the area between her eyebrows was injured, so she could only pinch a point on her thumb near the nail. This was also an acupoint used for first aid and it was very painful.
Seeing her skillful movements, Shen Siyan roughly guessed something in his heart.
Li Si was anxiously watching from the side. He wanted to help but didn't know what to do.
"Stand still."
Shen Siyan was not only annoyed by his constant pacing but also blocked his view of his wife.
Li Si was subconsciously startled by the man's cold voice and didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing him accidentally.
Half an hour later, Shi Wan slowly removed the silver needles. Her forehead was covered with sweat. "A few more treatments like this and she'll be fine. But this illness has been dragging on for too long. I can't guarantee that there won't be any problems later..."
"I understand," Li Si's eyes turned red. "Thank you, boss."
No other hospital dared to take them in, but only the boss was willing to treat them for free.
"Aunt Li's illness needs to be treated slowly with traditional Chinese medicine. You can't rush it."
"Okay."
"That's all for today."
She reached out her hand to the man. Of course, it wasn't just about acupuncture. Li Si's mother's illness had penetrated deep into her bones. If it was just acupuncture, the effect wouldn't be enough.
Shen Siyan hugged her, and Shi Wan immediately felt a continuous stream of energy flowing from his body to hers, transforming into spiritual energy.
She lowered her eyes. Although she knew that there was a power in Shen Siyan's body that could replenish her spiritual energy, she didn't know the exact reason.
She had asked the system and knew that it was harmless to his body.
She rubbed against him and found a comfortable position in his arms to close her eyes and rest.
Shen Siyan whispered, "Have a good sleep. I'm here."
"Okay."
When they got in the car, as soon as Shen Siyan made a move, Shi Wan opened her eyes and looked at him blankly.
His heart softened immediately. "Go back to sleep."
She closed her eyes again. She had only woken up because the movement just now was a bit too big. Shen Siyan held her and didn't dare to move.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that she slowly woke up.
"Awake? How do you feel?"
"I'm fine."
Seeing his state, Shi Wan knew that this man must have been sitting still for a long time. She sat up and started to massage him.
The woman's boneless hands looked as if they could be broken with a single touch, but they felt extremely comfortable when massaging his body.
"Darling, have you learned this?"
He held her hand. This professional technique didn't seem like something done casually.
"Yes. When my grandma was still alive in the countryside, I often massaged her."
