Chapter 331: 220 Internationally Renowned Double Standards, Building the Love Nest Together (3 updates) _3

Shen Zhixian had already considered moving out before, but the old apartment she had before was rather run-down, with no schools or hospitals nearby, which was inconvenient. Besides, the place was too small; if Jiangjiang were to come over, they couldn’t all squeeze onto one bed.

“Mhm.”

“Do you think Jiangjiang would like this pattern?” Shen Zhixian was choosing slippers at the time.

“He should like this one,” Jiang Yanting selected a pair with a carrot pattern on a green base, eyeing the fluffy carrots.

“Really?” Shen Zhixian looked at the slippers and finally coordinated different colored carrot slippers for the siblings, while she casually chose a pair of women’s cotton slippers for herself.

Jiang Yanting raised an eyebrow, “What about mine?”

“You…” Shen Zhixian coughed, her mind preoccupied with the thought of the delightful times ahead with the three of them; she hadn’t considered Jiang Yanting at all.

Jiang Yanting picked up a couple’s pair of slippers that matched Shen Zhixian’s and tossed them into the shopping cart, “Let’s go.”

For personal items—like toothbrushes, towels…

Jiang Yanting didn’t miss a single one. If Shen Zhixian didn’t choose for him, he conscientiously added them to the shopping cart himself, neatly lining up items for a family of four.

While selecting water cups, Shen Zhixian was eyeing cups on a higher shelf; she reached for them several times but only managed to touch the sides of the cups.

“Which one do you want?” Jiang Yanting pushed the cart to one side to avoid blocking anyone.

“That glass one,” Shen Zhixian said. She was dressed casually for moving day, her hair tied in a ponytail, not looking like someone who had given birth to two children.

Jiang Yanting walked over and stood behind her, raising his hand to point to each cup and asking if it was the one she wanted.

The aisle in the supermarket was not very spacious. His entire presence pressed in close, confining her space within that narrow area. With the shelves in front all bearing cups, many of them ceramic, she didn’t dare to move too much, allowing their proximity to grow increasingly close.

“Is it this one?” Jiang Yanting’s breath blew over the top of her head as he spoke, like a gust of warm wind.

It sent a tingling sensation across her scalp.

“Mhm, let me see it.”

Shen Zhixian took the cup and examined it in her hands, comparing it with the others. With kids at home, she was almost overly critical in her choices, looking not only for attractiveness but also for safety and quality.

She looked down at the cup, while Jiang Yanting stood right behind her, watching her.

“Which of these two cups do you think is better…” Shen Zhixian turned to ask for his opinion.

She had been so focused she hadn’t realized how close they were. As she turned her head, her nose gently brushed against his chin…

The man’s chin was not smooth; there was undoubtedly some stubble, slightly abrasive.

Her nose turned a bit red. As she tried to move back a little, he suddenly leaned in closer and gently pecked her on the corner of her lips…

“Jiang Yanting!” Shen Zhixian was shocked. They were in a supermarket, and during the holiday season no less, surrounded by people coming and going. Surely he had lost his mind.

“This one looks better,” Jiang Yanting ignored her, simply pointing to a cup in her right hand.

More people passed by with their carts. Shen Zhixian felt both embarrassed and annoyed but didn’t want to make a scene, so she took three cups, carefully placing them into the cart, and tried to leave. Jiang Yanting, however, moved quicker, grabbing hold of the cart handle from behind, preventing her from moving.

He nearly trapped her between the shopping cart and his body.

“You…”

“Get one for me.”

Jiang Yanting was too strong; Shen Zhixian couldn’t push the cart, and trapped by him, she had no choice but to hand him a cup, albeit reluctantly.

During this trip to the supermarket, the two of them had quite a haul. Despite that, they didn’t manage to get everything as dusk fell, and it was time for dinner.

Everything at the new home was brand new, including kitchen utensils that hadn’t been used yet. Seasoning the pots and such would take time, so they simply ordered takeout.

While waiting for their meal, Shen Zhixian busied herself tidying the house, and Jiang Chengsi leaned on Jiang Yanting’s arm, “Second brother, I don’t think sister-in-law prepared a room for you, what will you do? Are you going back home tonight?”

In their three-bedroom apartment, Shen Zhixian and the two kids each occupied one room; indeed, there was no space for Jiang Yanting.noveldrama

“Who said I don’t have a room?”

“Huh?”

“Have you ever seen a married couple sleep in separate rooms?” Jiang Yanting raised an eyebrow, that look on his face.

Jiang Chengsi was at a loss for words. You two are a married couple? With kids but still a nameless, unrecognized man, do you really have the gall to say such a thing?
