Chapter 185 The thief's heart is immortal
In this room, Shen Yanhan went into the room and lit the lamp, poured some cold tea and drank it, and then got busy in a hurry.

A lamp like a bean casts a few feet of warm light in front of the counter. The young lady with a gorgeous face looked attentive, flipping through the account books with one hand and writing with a pen in the other.

It was a cold night, her breath was already tinged with mist, and her white and delicate fingers were red with cold, but she had no idea about it and was busy working on her own things without eating or sleeping.

After recording the orders that needed to be delayed based on the level of customers in the store and the order of their orders, Shen Yanhan took the letter paper, spread it out with a ruler, and gave it to her maternal grandfather's house as she planned. Relatives write letters.

She had just finished writing the first letter carefully considering the language, but before she could sign the payment, there was a knock on the store door.

Shen Yanhan was startled. Before she could think about it, a male voice came from outside the door: "Ms. Shen, I am Liang Si, the waiter from the restaurant next door. The food you ordered is ready. Please open the door."

In the past, when she was wealthy, she would often order meals from Tingfeng Tea House, and Liang Si would often bring things to her door. While the familiar voice dispelled Shen Yanhan's vigilance, another suspicion arose in her heart.

He held up a lamp to illuminate the road, opened the door, and saw Liang Si holding a tray with several covered bowls on it. Shen Yanhan said in confusion: "I didn't order any food today."

"Someone has ordered it." Liang Si replied. Before she could ask questions, Mu Jin had already ordered it, so he added, "Do you think it would be better to give you the second floor? Please ask Mrs. Shen to show me the way down."

Liang Si was used to running around, and his hands and feet were very nimble. Before Shen Yanhan had time to say anything, he just let out a hey and walked through the door.

Shen Yanhan watched him walking hurriedly towards the dark stairs, thinking that holding something in front of him would affect his vision, so he quickly quickened his pace to keep up, and said, "You walk slower, don't fall."

After going up to the second floor, Liang Si placed the tray in his hand on the table and said appropriately: "Ms. Shen, use it while it's hot! It's too late today, so I'll collect the utensils tomorrow. I'll also open the door downstairs for you." , you can bolt it later, there is no need to go downstairs, you can eat quickly."

Even though he was filled with doubts, everything was put in front of him. Shen Yanhan could only nod his thanks: "Thank you."

"Should be!"

After finishing speaking, Liang Si ran down the stairs in a hurry, stepping on the stairs until they creaked. At this moment, he didn't feel that the road was dark.

Hearing the squeaking sound of the door downstairs closing, Shen Yanhan frowned, looked at an unexpected pomegranate on the tray, then raised his hand to lift the bowl covering it, and suddenly his beautiful eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, without exception, they are all dishes from Chengzhou. They are spicy and fragrant at first glance, making people salivate.

In this way, Shen Yanhan could no longer sit still.

Nowadays, besides her, there is only one person in Lin'an Mansion who really likes such strong dishes.

Looking downstairs from the window, he saw no one on the street. Shen Yanhan held up the lamp and prepared to go out to find out.

However, as soon as she turned around, she saw the tall and handsome husband she was all too familiar with, and met those deep eyes that she was all too familiar with.

Yan Han took a breath of cold air and said in a panicked tone: "You, why haven't you gone back yet? No, why did you come in? Did you come in in front of others?"

Tingfeng Tea House and her shop were neighbors, and the two families could not see each other without looking up. He came in so unobtrusively to be alone with her in the middle of the night. She simply did not dare to think deeply about how she would face her neighbors in the future.

Seeing that there was no trace of joy in her eyes when she saw him, but instead she was filled with fear that her reputation would be damaged. Qin Yuehuai felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and his tone became cold: "I'll see it when I see it."

His aura was extremely cold when he was sullen, which was completely opposite to his usual gentleness towards her. He had a kind of arrogance in his bones that repelled others. If Meng Changqing or Yang Dong saw him like this, they would definitely take the initiative to retreat, but Shen Yanhan was different. In their relationship, she was never afraid of offending him.

Shen Yanhan stared at the husband who was sitting at the table happily and minding his own business, and said, "It turns out that in Bachelor Qi's heart, a woman's reputation as a good friend is so contemptible, and she can trample on her as much as he wants."

She made a double entendre, not only talking about this moment, but also talking about his marriage to her under a false identity in the past. Qin Qilang could naturally hear it.

He didn't accept her words, but provoked her: "You don't even have the courage to meet someone, don't you?"

Shen Yanhan retorted: "Why do I have to be so courageous? Is it a good thing for me to have a private meeting with my husband in the middle of the night?"

Qin Yuehuai said, "So Jiao Jiao wants to have a private meeting with me."

Shen Yanhan refused to accept his specious words and expelled the person: "Go out immediately and take away all the meals you ordered!"

Qin Yuehuai raised his eyes to look at her, noticing the anger and hidden exhaustion on her face. After all, he couldn't bear to make her unhappy anymore, so he lowered his voice and said, "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat first. After you finish, I will Then leave."

"I'm serious. I'll leave immediately after you finish eating."

His attitude was so soft. Shen Yanhan was also a little exhausted from hunger, but she did not accept the bamboo chopsticks he handed her and continued to refuse: "No need, you can go out now."

Qin Yuehuai knew exactly what she was worried about. He sighed and confessed that the teahouse was his property without seeking death, which made her even more uncomfortable. He comforted her and said, "I came in secretly. There was no one there when I entered." See, you don’t have to worry so much.”

Shen Yanhan paused unexpectedly, but she was obviously still wary of him and didn't fully believe him.

Seeing this, Qin Yuehuai said again: "I couldn't see my fingers downstairs, so I hid at the door and I really didn't get noticed."

They had experienced this before. The night he reappeared after escaping for several months, he was hiding behind her door.

Shen Yanhan's stubborn guard gradually relaxed, and she finally reluctantly believed his reason.

She asked him again: "Then what did you tell people when ordering food?"

She didn't completely believe him yet. Qin Yuehuai patted the stool next to him and motioned for her to sit down, and asked: "Are you still worried that I can cover up such a trivial matter?"

If we really talk about "covering people's eyes and ears", I believe that no one dares to compare with this gentleman who changes his identity from time to time.

Shen Yanhan snorted, and instead of sitting next to him, she sat directly opposite him, at the farthest place from him at the table, took the bamboo chopsticks and started eating.

The soup of boiled pork slices was red and oily, with a strong spicy flavor. Shen Yanhan only took one bite and found that the meat was very smooth and tender, and the side dishes were also delicious and easy to chew. He tried the sesame oil tofu again, and it was just as delicious. He was amazed in his heart. I came "as a true sect" and ate several bites of it with rice.

Seeing that she was so satisfied with her meal, Qin Yuehuai curled up the corners of his lips, put a pickled radish in the bowl for her, and said, "Eat more rice, don't make it too spicy."

Shen Yanhan glanced at him and saw the tenderness in his eyes that concealed concern. She was inexplicably adhering to the stubbornness of "eating without talking or sleeping without talking" and ignored his attentiveness.

Qin Yuehuai was not affected by her indifference. He lit tea and looked at the young lady from time to time.

Her lips were bright red from the heat, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her small nose. Her fair and tender cheeks were slightly pink, and her whole face was as delicate as peonies soaked in dew.

Qin Yuehuai had some inappropriate thoughts.

It's just that he hasn't gained anything in the past. He has clearly gained her. If he loses her again, no matter what, he will not be reconciled, let alone give up.

"Jiao Jiao." He called her softly and instinctively without any purpose.

Lang Jun's lingering voice came to her ears, and from the corner of her eye she saw his slender fingers holding the tea cup. Shen Yanhan didn't respond, her eyes never looking at him, as if she was focused on enjoying the food in front of her.

Chengzhou cuisine is rich and heavy in flavor, and the bowl of rice will soon be full. Shen Yanhan was so satisfied with the meal that he covered his mouth and secretly burped.

Qin Yuehuai handed her a cup of tea in time and asked her, "How does it taste?"

Shen Yanhan praised a few words honestly, but said in confusion: "There are obviously so many spicy peppers in the meat slices, and the soup is very red, but it's not as spicy as it looks in the mouth."

Qin Yuehuai said: "I know you haven't eaten such spicy food for a long time, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it, so I put some glutinous rice wine to relieve the spicy taste."

Shen Yanhan paused, and something strange slipped through his heart.

After a few breaths of silence, she asked: "How do you know this? Did you watch it happen?"

Qin Yuehuai shook his head and smiled: "I did these for you."

His obsidian eyes looked straight at her, filled with light waiting for her to be moved.

Thinking of the gentleman's figure hunched over and busy at the stove, the light in Shen Yanhan's beautiful eyes couldn't help but flicker.

It is absolutely impossible to say that I am not surprised or moved.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "a gentleman is far away from the kitchen." It is not only a shame for men to cook. It is said that even if Qin Yuehuai is in trouble, he will be with a powerful man like Zhang Jun and have countless followers accompanying him. Go to the kitchen to cook in person.

His purpose to please her was obvious.

But she was unwilling to comply with his wish, and answered him with lowered eyes: "It's just a meal, do you still want people to be so grateful to you?"

Qin Yuehuai laughed and said, "I will make more for you in the future."

Shen Yanhan lowered her head to drink tea. She didn't respond to his suggestive words. She just ate his food and drank the fragrant tea soup. She couldn't drive them away immediately. .

The two were silent, sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

Qin Yuehuai's tea ordering skills were as superb as ever. Seeing that Shen Yanhan did not resist his behavior in front of her at this moment, after she drank one cup, he thoughtfully handed her another one.

Shen Yanhan took them one by one, thinking that she would have to stay up late later, so it would be good to drink more tea to wake up.The warm light of the oil lamp shone on the young lady's gorgeous face, and also on the handsome husband. The two sat quietly, Shen Yanhan didn't want to open her mouth to talk to Qin Yuehuai, and they got closer to each other for no reason. Qin Yuehuai did not want to break the rare quiet and leisure time with Shen Yanhan despite the distance between them.

When we were together in the past, Shen Yanhan was not often silent. She had a lively temperament and always had all kinds of things to say to him and all kinds of big and small things to share with him. She would always say "Qilang, do you know?" "Qilang, I "Discovered something" was still echoing in his ears. Qin Yuehuai's eyes fell on Shen Yanhan's eyebrows, unblinking as if he couldn't get enough.

Now asking her to call him "Qilang" again is actually an extravagant dream that is even harder than reaching heaven.

But the two of them could sit together calmly like this, even if she didn't say a word to him, and she no longer looked at him with those shining eyes, it was better than never seeing her at all.

Thinking of this, Qin Qilang, who had always scorned things between men and women, couldn't help but laugh at himself.

How had he ever thought that he would be so deeply mired in the mud that he would be unable to pull himself out?

At the other end of the table, Shen Yanhan, who was so deep in it that she couldn't extricate herself, said nothing. She tried her best to ignore the deep eyes that hit her face. The two of them were in such an inexplicable atmosphere. Here, she believes that silence is the best way for the two of them to get along.

However, this quiet time did not last long. Not long after, the first winter thunder of the year sounded outside the window.

"Boom!", a sound exploded in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, heavy rain poured down.

Shen Yanhan stood up quickly, closed the window that had let in the raindrops, turned around and said to Qin Yuehuai, "It's getting late, you should go back."

It was so sudden that Qin Yuehuai couldn't help but be surprised: "The rain is so heavy, you have the heart to drive me away?"

If I don't leave, do I have to sit with her for half the night?
Shen Yanhan was unmoved and said, "There are umbrellas downstairs. I'll take you down."

Seeing that she really wanted him to leave at this time, she picked up the oil lamp on the table and led the way. When she reached the door, she turned back uneasily to see if he had followed. She showed an attitude that could not be refused. Qin Yuehuai twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly and stood up.

She walked in front of him, and the light cast her shadow beside him. The two of them were intimate, just like she had snuggled against him many times.

Qin Yuehuai looked at her graceful waist and her straight back. He endured it again and again, and finally restrained his urge to hold her in his arms.

*
The two walked downstairs in silence.

Shen Yanhan went to get her umbrella. When she came back, she found Qin Yuehuai standing by the counter, seemingly staring at her letter.

Although he might not be able to read the words clearly in the dark, Shen Yanhan still turned the letter over vigilantly and handed the umbrella to him: "Here you go."

Qin Yuehuai looked away, but instead of taking her umbrella, he asked, "Aren't you curious where I live now?"

She was naturally curious.

She was born with a strong curiosity. Ever since Qin Yuehuai disappeared and reappeared, she actually had many questions in her mind. She wanted to ask where he had been in those few months, what he had experienced, why he became Qi Yan later, and how he took the exam. The number one scholar... But just because he was someone else now, no longer her husband who was raised by Shen Yanhan in that small house, she secretly suppressed her desire to inquire about those experiences.

When asked by Qin Yuehuai, the desire to move in her heart inevitably arose again, but Shen Yanhan was not impulsive.

Just as she struggled to hold back some pain, she also fought hard to hold back the care related to Qin Yuehuai.

She handed the umbrella back to Qin Yuehuai and said, "Go on."

Qin Yuehuai looked at her distant gaze without even looking at him, darkened his eyes, and asked, "Do you know where the pomegranate on the tray just now came from?"

Shen Yanhan's half-lidded thick eyelashes trembled, she secretly took a breath and raised her eyes to look at him.

She didn't believe that the husband in front of her would be wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, Qin Yuehuai asked and answered: "It's the one in the house to the east."

He didn't say it clearly, but Shen Yanhan knew that he was talking about the dowry house that Qi Yun left to her, which she sold and turned into the current clothing shop.

She once wanted to spend the rest of her life with him and even moved some furniture to prepare to move in. However, because Li Shen came to the city to visit Qin Yuehuai, she postponed her plan to move into that place.

It can be said that this house has held many of her hopeful imaginations about life.

This time, Shen Yanhan could no longer remain indifferent and finally asked, "You live there now?"

Qin Yuehuai nodded.

"You bought it?"

Qin Yuehuai nodded again.

It's one state of mind when guessing, and another state of mind when you actually get the answer.

After getting the exact answer, Shen Yanhan didn't know how to feel. She looked at the husband in front of her and felt heavy in her heart.

Even though the house was not a mansion, the fact that the person in front of her could buy it easily proved that he had no worries about money. In the future, she was self-righteous and wanted to make more money for him to live a good life without worries about food and clothing. Now, Looking back, it was ridiculously stupid.

Qin Yuehuai watched as the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, as if he were facing a plate of sand that he couldn't grasp no matter how hard he tried.

Someone as smart as him would not have guessed that Shen Yanhan was alienating him because she had discovered another "secret" of his.

His heart was beating violently, and he was anxious to confess his wealth: "When I returned to Lin'an Mansion with Uncle Deyuan, also known as Zhang Xiang, I had saved some salary in the army, so I bought a Tingfeng Teahouse to make a living. You sell your house. At that time, my people knew that you were my wife, so—"

Shen Yanhan interrupted him: "I'm not your wife, don't talk nonsense all the time!"

Qin Yuehuai choked.

Shen Yanhan said again: "You lied again! The house is in my father's name, how did your people know that it was me who wanted to sell it?"

Qin Yuehuai sighed and changed his words: "When I learned that someone was going to sell the house, I ordered someone to buy the house no matter who sold it."

This is not a lie. When he learned that Wen Rong was selling Shen Guci's house, he decided to buy it. However, Shen Yanhan later took him to live in the Shen Mansion and heard her say that this was her dowry house. After all, she returned He just didn't have a hand in this matter in her hands.

But in his anxiety, he kept silent and forgot when it happened.

Shen Yanhan felt chilled in his heart when he heard this.

At that time, when she guessed that Wen Rong was selling the property behind Shen Gu's back, she was filled with indignation with him and vowed to live and work in peace and contentment in her new home, and would not let anyone who wanted to see her miserable life laugh.At that time, she was looking forward to a bright future for the two of them, and asked him at the door of the house, "Will you always stay with me?" Even before he answered, she asked herself and answered, "You will."

Looking back on the situation at that time, everything had a reason. Qin Yuehuai was momentarily stunned after hearing her question, because he probably didn't know how to answer her.

Before realizing the flaw in his words, Qin Yuehuai added: "Fortunately, she didn't succeed in the end. This will be justified. I will keep that house forever, and it will always belong to you."

It is true that this is what Qin Qilang said from the bottom of his heart, but at this moment, Mrs. Shen's mentality has changed.

Shen Yan said coldly: "What does your house have to do with me?"

Qin Yuehuai sighed helplessly and said, "I will sell it to you after you make enough money, okay?"

Shen Yanhan forced the umbrella into Qin Yuehuai's hand and repeated the words to drive people away: "You can go away."

Seeing that Qin Yuehuai was motionless, Shen Yanhan even pushed him impatiently.

Seeing that they had only seen each other for a few days and were about to be separated again in a short time, Qin Qilang was so blessed that he suddenly said: "By the way, when I was cleaning up the house a few days ago, I dug a tree under the pomegranate tree. When the wine jar comes out, I don’t know if my mother-in-law buried it in it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yanhan's already bright Qiushui eyes gained a glimmer of light.

She looked at Mr. Lang who said this seriously, and felt like there was a drum beating in her heart.

Lin'an has always had the custom of drinking "daughter's red" wine when marrying a daughter. The house was given to her by Qi Yun as a dowry, and the wine there was probably what Qi Yun had prepared for her to use when she got married.

Qin Yuehuai saw her moved expression after hearing Qi Yun for a moment. Seeing that she was so moved, he didn't even correct the word "mother-in-law" in his words, and asked: "Do you want to go with me?" See what happens?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanhan nodded immediately without hesitation.

The door opened with a "squeak", and it was storming outside.

Qin Yuehuai held up the umbrella with one hand and held Shen Yanhan's shoulder with the other, holding her tightly in his arms.

At this time, Mrs. Shen couldn't care less about his intimate behavior, and she probably forgot that Qin Qilang was always jealous of her.
