Chapter 154: Testing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a long day, Yuan Shu really didn’t have any energy left. After she took a hot shower, she fell asleep, but before she fell asleep, she didn’t forget to lock the door.

Although she was already very tired, at seven o’clock the next morning, she got up from bed on time to do her daily morning training.

She went downstairs to the hall, but she didn’t see Shi Lu, who was usually waiting for her. Wu Yan was watering the flowers and plants in the living room.

Yuan Shu asked Wu Yan, “Why don’t I see Shi Lu?”

Wu Yan replied respectfully, “Second Young Master said that the ancestral home is too big, so he returned to the villa to stay for a few days.”

Yuan Shu was speechless. What did he mean by the ancestral home being too big? He had been living there for more than a month, but he didn’t mind that the room was too big at that time, but he hid the moment Shi Xiao returned. There was something off with him.

As Yuan Shu was thinking about it, the culprit had already gone downstairs.

“Morning.” Shi Xiao was still on the steps. He was wearing a dark blue shirt, suit pants, and leather shoes. Yuan Shu estimated that this person was at least 1.9 meters tall.

Shi Xiao’s leather shoes stepped on the pure wool carpet without making any sound as he walked behind Yuan Shu silently. His lips were curled up slightly, and his eyes were expressionless. He was clearly greeting her, but he looked at her as if she was a stranger.

“Morning,” Yuan Shu replied politely.

From a certain perspective, Shi Xiao should be the closest person to Yuan Shu in this world, so he was also the most sensitive to Yuan Shu’s changes. Yuan Shu could deal with others freely, but she had to be careful with Shi Xiao.

Moreover, what happened last night must have been because Shi Xiao was testing her. Yesterday, Yuan Shu didn’t have the energy to deal with him and escaped in a hurry. Today, Shi Xiao would definitely find another opportunity to continue testing her.

Instead of waiting passively, it was better to find an opportunity to take the initiative to attack.

As expected, Shi Xiao spoke first.

He stood behind Yuan Shu and his slender hand passed by her to catch the cup of hot water that Wu Yan handed him. When he retracted his hand, Yuan Shu turned to look at him, but she wasn’t in a hurry to speak.

Shi Xiao finished the water in the cup in one gulp and instructed Wu Yan, “As usual, a cup of Americano.”

Wu Yan nodded and left to grind coffee.

Shi Xiao then said to Yuan Shu, “Accompany me somewhere later.” Then, he turned around and sat down on the European-style leather sofa.

Yuan Shu frowned. “Where are we going?”

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Yuan Shu didn’t like such a commanding tone. Even when she was commanding people, she would make things clear and instead of letting others guess, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Hence, Shi Xiao’s attitude made Yuan Shu unhappy.

However, Yuan Shu didn’t say it directly. She tied her hair up high with a rubber band and said as she walked out of the door, “Let’s talk about it after I come back from my exercise.”

Without giving Shi Xiao any chance to say anything, she had already left the living room and walked out the door.

Shi Xiao stared at Yuan Shu’s back. She was tall to begin with, and her sportswear made her look even more energetic.

Exercise? Why didn’t he know that Yuan Shu, who was usually lazy, had a habit of exercising? Shi Xiao was even surprised to see her up so early.

Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu only lived together for two days after they got married.

Yuan Shu was irritable and dissatisfied with everything. She often stayed up until three or four in the morning at night, and it was often for her to wake up at around one or two in the afternoon in the day. Her daily schedule was very irregular.

Shi Xiao, on the other hand, slept from 12 AM to 6 AM. The first thing he did in the morning was to look at the unfinished work left behind by the company the day before. It could be said that his life was a little boring, far less interesting than those of his three younger siblings.

However, with the huge Shi Corporation pressuring him, he had no other choice. Only when he was powerful enough and able to support his family could the Shi family members, which were hiding under this shell, mature.

Therefore, on the third day after the wedding, he moved back to the ancestral home and left Yuan Shu alone in the villa.

It had only been a few hours since last night, but he felt as if he had never known Yuan Shu. Her self-discipline and self-restraint were completely different from before.

Now, Shi Xiao believed that the person who could deal with the other families and protect Yuan An was his wife, Yuan Shu..
