The castle was surrounded by a vast flower bed, with unknown flowers blooming on season, creating a mysterious and enchanting view from afar.
"Is this where the old man lives?"
Staring at the building ahead, Shen Cheng furrowed her brows deeply, finding it hard to imagine what it felt like for the old man to live alone in such a huge castle.
Shi Yu humd in affirmation, holding her hand as they walked inside. Recognizing him, the bodyguard by the hefty iron door didn’t ask for an invitation and let them through directly.
"Scared?" After entering, Shi Yu glanced over with a dark and enigmatic look in his eyes as deep as the ocean.
"Scared of what?" Shen Cheng t his gaze, her lips curving slightly, "We’re married, we have children, would the old man not accept as his granddaughter-in-law?"
"Not necessarily." He pursed his lips, his semi-smiling appearance exuding an intriguing playfulness.
"Then let’s make a bet." Dropping her smile, Shen Cheng put on a serious face deliberately.
"Bet on what?" Shi Yu narrowed his eyes.
"Bet that if the old man doesn’t accept , from now on, whether at ho or outside, I will listen to you in everything," Shen Cheng said.
"What about in bed?" Other things didn’t matter whether she listened to him or not, he just needed her to listen to him in bed...
"Included."
"Okay." Shi Yu agreed readily, then wrapped his arm around her shoulder, asking by her ear, "What if he does accept you?"
"If he accepts ..." Shen Cheng propped her chin and thought for a mont, saying, "If the old man accepts , you have to help with files for three months, drive to and from work every morning and evening, can’t force into anything, and must respond without complaints whenever called."
After hearing her, Shi Yu smiled, "Why is it that if you win, you can ask so much of , but if I win, I can only control one matter about you, such a huge disparity?"
"Because there is essentially a disparity between n and won."
"Wife, are you subtly reminding that I haven’t satisfied you?"
"..." What the heck...
"Indeed, there is a disparity between n and won, but only you and I can feel that gap," Shi Yu chuckled in her ear, "I wonder how many centiters are needed to bridge this gap and satisfy you."
"..." It took about ten seconds for Shen Cheng to fully comprehend his words, and then she pushed him away, "Stop talking to , you scoundrel!"
"Don’t be like that, wife. There are many people around today, we should speak nicely."
Shi Yu reached for her hand, but Shen Cheng refused to let him touch and leaned to one side, creating so distance between them, then walked forward on her own, no longer bothering with him.

Initially, Wen Wan didn’t plan on going, preferring to send a gift to the old man through soone else, but she compromised following Shi Keke’s persuasion.
In the morning, Wen Wan took out the gift she had prepared earlier and inspected it to ensure it was intact before carefully placing it back in the box and tying it with a red string.
Shi Keke sat on the sofa beside her, drawing her eyebrows in the mirror while saying, "Aunt, spending three hundred eighty thousand on an ancient painting seems a bit extravagant for this ti."
