"You really do sound like soone who’s been there."
Shen Cheng chuckled lightly.
Shi Keke played with the cigarette case in her hand as undaunted as before, "No choice, it’s all forced out by ti and reality."
Shen Cheng curled his lips but said nothing more.
Just as Shi Keke was about to light another cigarette, she spotted a familiar figure appearing not far ahead.
Almost subconsciously, she tossed the cigarette onto the ground and stamped on it with her foot.
The cigarette case in her hand was also thrown into the flowerbed beside her.
Shen Cheng furrowed his brows slightly, wondering why Shi Keke would do such a thing, when a tall figure ca into view.
Shi i was walking towards them, under the sunlight, his tall figure clad in black appeared like a king of the night.
His presence was so strong it was impossible to ignore.
The previously arrogant Shi Keke cowered at the sight of Shi i.
"Sister-in-law, I’m gonna bail. If my brother asks about later, just say I went to pick up Handso guys and tell him not to bother ."
Shi Keke’s wariness towards him indeed had a reason.
Because the Shi Family’s house rules were stringent, and no one ever dared to violate the rules against n engaging with prostitutes and won smoking.
Having broken one of these rules, Shi Keke faced the prospect of family discipline.
Moreover, the old man’s birthday was coming up soon, and she didn’t want this incident reaching her grandfather’s ears, so her first reaction upon seeing Shi i was to hide.
"How are you going to pick up Handso guys without cigarettes?"
Shi Keke thought she could slip away before Shi i spotted her, but just as she turned around and hadn’t walked far, her wrist was firmly grasped from behind.
And the grip wasn’t gentle; it was so tight that her bones ached.
She adjusted her breath, turned around, and seriously said, "Brother, have you heard of the concept ’n and won should not touch hands’? If this were ancient tis, this would have ruined my innocence. You’d have to marry !"
"Pfft."
Shen Cheng had only wanted to be a quiet observer, but after hearing Shi Keke’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Shi i’s gaze lingered on Shen Cheng’s face for a few seconds, seemingly distracted by her smile.
Not until Shi Keke started prying his hand off her wrist did he retract his gaze, and with a frown, he chided her softly, "Shi Keke, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I’m not spouting nonsense. In ancient tis, there was a system of marriage between relatives; cousins could get married and it wasn’t even considered incest."
Indeed, she was a lawyer who earned her living through debates. A re hand-holding was exaggerated by her to such a terrifying extent.
Shi i stared at her for a few seconds, then withdrew his hand directly.
Shi Keke thought he was letting her off, but unexpectedly, he suddenly lifted his hand and tapped her forehead with his distinct knuckles, "Have you read so many law books that you’ve turned into a pig brain?"
Shi Keke slapped his hand away, "I told you n and won should not touch hands, and you still poke and prod. Also, you’re the one with a pig brain!"
Shi i’s face darkened, a hint of chill appearing in his eyes.
"Shi Keke."
His tone was heavy, carrying a hint of danger.
Shi Keke glanced at him impatiently, and to prevent him from slling the cigarette scent, she tried her best not to breathe out towards his face.
Then, she glanced over at Shen Cheng, "Your sweetheart is over there, go chat with her. I’ve got things to do, I’m off."
With that, she turned to leave.
