Chapter 327 Can’t calm down
"Brother Shen, why did you bring Zhaozhao over?" Pei Huaijin's eyes lit up. "May I hold her?"
He reached out his hand, and Shen Fuhan frowned.
Before he could even speak, Zhao Zhao turned away, looking like she didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Shen Fuhan's lips curled slightly; his daughter was indeed closer to him, her father.
He said calmly, "Zhaozhao doesn't want you to hug her, and there's nothing I can do about it."
He had just sat down with his daughter in his arms when he caught a glimpse of Cui Yu coming over.
The Duke of Ningguo asked in confusion, "Ayu, weren't you staying with your mother? Why are you here?"
Cui Yu glanced at Zhao Zhao, who was nestled in Shen Fuhan's arms, and respectfully said, "Ayu would like to have her meal here with Father."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Zhao turned her head to find its source and exclaimed with a smile, "Brother Little Fish!"
Shen Fuhan: "..."
Duke Ningguo was taken aback, then asked with surprise, "Ayu has already become friends with Lord Shen's daughter so quickly?"
His son was quiet and reserved from a young age and couldn't play with other children, so he and his wife haven't dared to have a second child yet, for fear that Ayu wouldn't like him.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't that he didn't like them, but rather that he hadn't met any children he liked.
He looked at the little girl in Shen Fuhan's arms. She was charming and lovely, with bright and lively almond-shaped eyes. Dressed in blue, she looked just like a fairy from heaven.
The Duke of Ningguo couldn't help but praise, "Lord Shen's daughter is truly beautiful; she's practically a carbon copy of Lord Shen."
Shen Fuhan gave a forced smile, and although he should have politely praised Cui Yu, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He was certain that once he sent Zhaozhao to Ayue's place, that brat would have to go with her too.
After thinking it over, I decided it was better to stay by his side.
“Zhao Zhao looks more like her sister-in-law,” Pei Huaijin suddenly said, “especially her eyebrows and eyes.”
Shen Fuhan glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "Why would Huaijin care about my wife's appearance?"
When Wen Jiayue first entered the main courtyard, he had been observing Pei Huaijin.
He naturally didn't miss the changes in his expression; his attention to Wen Jiayue had long exceeded the boundaries of what a neighborly older brother should have.
On the contrary, Wen Jiayue was indifferent to Pei Huaijin and didn't even glance in his direction.
Logically speaking, Pei Huaijin should have been the one who disguised himself better, but he was surprisingly impatient.
Now that he was deliberately saying such suggestive things, Shen Fuhan didn't want to just laugh it off; he had to get to the bottom of it.
If he has the guts, he should confess his secret thoughts here.
Upon hearing this, the entire table fell silent.
Pei Huaijin smiled gently: "I've met my sister-in-law a few times, so of course I remember her."
Shen Fuhan sneered, knowing he wouldn't dare.
“It seems Huaijin has a photographic memory,” he said calmly. “I’ll be waiting for the good news of Huaijin’s success in the imperial examination next spring.”
Pei Huaijin said modestly, "These things are hard to say, but I still thank Brother Shen for placing high hopes on me."
He raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, and the others joined in the fun, raising their glasses to end the little incident.
Shen Fuhan didn't drink, and asked in a low voice, "What does Zhaozhao want to eat?"
Zhao Zhao blinked and looked at Cui Yu sitting opposite her, murmuring, "Brother Xiaoyu."
She had only played with Little Fish for a little while before coming back; she hadn't had enough fun yet.
She was just thinking about having fun, but Shen Fuhan thought she only wanted to play with Cui Yu, so he frowned.
There wasn't a single person at this table that he found pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Zhao Zhao looking over, the Duke of Ning encouraged his son, "Ayu, go and play with your little sister Zhao Zhao."
Cui Yu glanced at Shen Fuhan's icy expression and cautiously shook her head.
"Father, I'm getting ready for my meal."
Shen Fuhan's expression improved slightly; he was wise to be sensible.
After returning home, he planned to find some female playmates for his daughter and forget about that damned Little Fish Brother.
After lunch, everything was fine, and everyone was ready to leave, but since the princess hadn't made a move yet, they didn't dare to be the first to do so.
Finally, Li Zhilan slowly stood up and said lazily, "It's getting late, I should go back to my residence."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison, "Respectfully seeing off the Princess."
Li Zhilan took a few steps, then stopped: "I almost forgot something."
She turned around and looked at the people she had brought.
"Granny Wang, from today onwards, you will be in charge of organizing the wedding banquet for Miss Shen and Young Master Xiao. You must make sure it is done properly and do not disappoint me."
Concealing the sharpness in her eyes, Granny Wang respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured, this old servant will do my utmost."
Shen Fuhan and his family naturally expressed their gratitude once more.
Li Zhilan walked forward without looking to the side, but stopped abruptly when he reached Shen Fuhan's side.
“By the way, Lord Shen,” she said, frowning, “there is something I don’t understand. I would appreciate your guidance.”
"I dare not presume to offer my guidance; please speak freely, Your Highness."
"Do you still remember that you were in charge of the renovation of the Princess's residence?" Li Zhilan raised her chin slightly. "It's been over a month since you last went there. When do you plan to go and take a look?"
She wanted to force Shen Fuhan to go to the princess's residence in front of everyone.
Shen Fuhan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The craftsmen already have the blueprints. We can simply repair it according to the blueprints. Whether I go there or not will not affect the repair work."
Li Zhilan clenched her fingers. How could he be so disrespectful to her!
She suppressed her anger and slowly said, "But this matter was personally ordered by the Emperor. If you don't consider me, you should at least think about the Emperor. What if the Emperor punishes you for negligence..."
She snorted: "I am saying this for Lord Shen's sake."
Shen Fuhan respectfully replied, "The affairs of the Dali Temple are numerous, and His Majesty has seen them all. Once I have some free time, I will go to the Princess's residence."
Li Zhilan laughed in exasperation. Even after all this, he still refused to go!
Her gaze swept over Wen Jiayue, who stood docilely to the side, and she gritted her teeth, thinking, what kind of bewitching potion did this bitch give Shen Fuhan?
He used to be available almost instantly!
Even if she harbored deep resentment, she didn't show it, and said calmly, "In that case, I await Lord Shen's good news."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Tomorrow she'll have all the repairs demolished, and see if he comes!
