Chapter 282 You are mine, and I am yours.
Qian Duoduo went to the kitchen for a while and then went to find Shen Zicen. She was worried that if she left for too long, he would feel insecure.
In the courtyard, Shen Zicen was solemnly inspecting the training of the others.
Qian Duoduo didn't bother him, but found a place where Shen Zicen could see her at a glance.
When Shen Zicen's gaze fell on Qian Duoduo, his heart softened, and even his tone of voice became much gentler.
Every time their eyes met in the air, Shen Zicen would smile at her, then turn back to continue supervising the new apprentices.
Actually, it wasn't always a coincidence that they bumped into each other. Qian Duoduo was always looking at Shen Zicen, and whenever he turned around, he could see Qian Duoduo's gaze.
Qian Duoduo saw that it was almost done, so she waved to Shen Zicen.
Qian Duoduo looked at the fine sweat that was slightly seeping from his forehead and gently wiped it away with a handkerchief.
Shen Zicen hadn't expected that Qian Duoduo had asked him to come over just to wipe his sweat.
With so many people watching, he felt a little shy; his cheeks flushed slightly under the veil, and the corners of his lips turned up.
He could hear hushed whispers behind him. He reached out and put Qian Duoduo's hand down. "So many people are watching."
Qian Duoduo didn't care at all. She leaned forward slowly and whispered in Shen Zicen's ear, "See? Let them know that you are mine, and I am yours too."
Due to the angle, others saw Qian Duoduo kissing Shen Zicen, and couldn't help but gasp.
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Zicen turned around and saw a large, wealthy face in front of her, her heart pounding wildly.
He stepped back slightly, creating half a step's distance between them, and even let go of the hand that had just been holding her wrist.
However, Qian Duoduo saw through his intention and grabbed his hand in return.
"Never mind them, let's go have breakfast."
Qian Duoduo was still worried that Shen Zicen hadn't eaten since he got up.
She herself had only managed to eat a meat bun at Niannian's place, and her stomach was already protesting, let alone Shen Zicen's.
"Me, them..."
Shen Zicen wanted to say something, so he turned to look at his apprentices who were training. But they all turned their heads away, pretending that they hadn't been watching the drama unfold.
Shen Zicen looked at them and was about to step forward to scold them when Qian Duoduo pulled her away.
The others, as if granted a pardon, gathered in small groups and began to discuss amongst themselves.
"Who is that woman? She seems very close to Master, could it be..."
"That must be Master's wife, right?"
"I was wondering why my master seemed so happy today. My movements weren't up to standard, and he only said a few words to me."
In the past, no one could escape a punishment.
……
An eleven or twelve-year-old girl saw Xiao Zheng practicing horse stance.
"Little Stool, come here for a second."
She beckoned the little stool over; she had just seen it talking to that woman, and they seemed quite familiar with each other.
Before the small stool even got close, everyone else had already gathered around it.
Who was that woman just now?
Little Stool saw how gossipy they all were and smiled at them happily.
"It's Master's wife!"
One of the older women pursed her lips, looking incredulous.
"Isn't Master's wife always treating him badly? How could this be..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant, and that's what they thought too.
Seeing that none of them believed her, Xiao Dengzi was too lazy to explain further.
"Anyway, she is Niannian's mother."
After she finished speaking, she quickly went back to practice her horse stance. She wanted to train hard while Niannian was away.
Once Niannian comes out, she'll have a friendly competition with her to see if she can create a miracle and make rapid progress in the next three days.
Seeing that Xiao Dengzi was no longer paying attention to them, the others went back to continue their training.
Shen Zicen was pulled to the dining table by Qian Duoduo, who then pressed him down onto a stool.
"Wait here, I'll go get breakfast."
"I……"
Just as Shen Zicen was about to get up, he saw Qian Duoduo turn around and immediately sat down obediently again.
When Qian Duoduo arrived at the kitchen, she immediately ordered, "Give me two meat buns, two bowls of porridge, and one vegetarian bun."
The cook looked at Qian Duoduo and asked, "Didn't you just come by?"
She remembered that it was her who had just left with two meat buns and a chicken leg, and she had lingered there for a long time.
Qian Duoduo scratched her head sheepishly, pretending that the person wasn't her. She couldn't let her know that she had secretly given the food to Niannian.
"Is it possible that you've mistaken someone for someone else?"
The cook shook her head, her tone firm, "I know all these people. How could I not recognize you, a newcomer?"
The cook assumed that this was Shen Zicen's newly accepted apprentice.
Qian Duoduo immediately brought up Shen Zicen; she hadn't expected to encounter a cook so familiar with the escort agency.
"I got breakfast for Chief Escort Shen."
The cook then had someone bring Qian Duoduo breakfast. It wasn't that she was bothered by the small amount of food, but rather that the person was a complete stranger.
When Qian Duoduo pushed open the door with a tray of food, Shen Zicen was pacing around in the room.
He was debating whether or not to go find Qian Duoduo, but when he saw her come in, he finally sat down with a sense of relief.
During the meal, Shen Zicen looked at Qian Duoduo. He wanted to eat alone because he needed to remove his veil, so…
But Qian Duoduo clearly knew what he was thinking. "Let's eat first. Shall I help you take off your veil?"
She knew she couldn't let Shen Zicen eat by herself. If he always hid from her when she removed her veil, Shen Zicen would continue to do so.
She still hoped that Shen Zicen could be more open with her, and at least believe that she would love him no matter what.
When Shen Zicen heard Qian Duoduo say that she was going to remove his veil, he instinctively covered his face.
Wearing the veil, he almost forgot about the scar, but once he took it off, he would have to face it.
He hasn't told Qian Duoduo yet that the scar on his face is real.
This is because he wanted to find an opportunity to see Dr. Wang to see if the scar could be removed.
If he could, he would secretly remove the scar without Duo Duo's knowledge; if not...
He still didn't know how to face Duoduo—whether to tell the truth and accept Duoduo's disdain, or to secretly leave for another place alone...
