You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"No, no, it's convenient." Xiao Yao said.

"Are you at home?" Shen Jie asked him.

"No, I'm outside." Xiao Yao said vaguely: "What's wrong with your voice? Why does it feel a little hoarse?"

"No," Shen Jie cleared her throat: "You must have heard it wrong, I'm normal."

The girl didn't want to tell Xiao Yao that she was beaten and cried for the whole afternoon. One reason was because of her pride and dignity, and the other was to avoid making Xiao Yao worry.

"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "You said you were grounded. Your parents didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Oh, gosh, Shen Jie thought—you finally remembered to ask about my situation!

Chapter 182 The Imprisoned Girl

2023-05-06

Oh, gosh, Shen Jie thought—you finally remembered to ask about my situation!

"Nothing happened to me," Shen Jie said softly, saying what she had prepared long ago: "After being out for so long, Dad has long passed the period when he was most angry. When he saw me, he said: I'm back, that's good. Confining me for half a month is just a formality to maintain the authority of the family rules."

"Your family still has family rules? Da...your father is really..." Xiao Yao let out a long sigh: "But no matter what, it's great to be able to land safely. My heart is at ease too."

"Yeah." Shen Jie said.

"By the way, Zhang Zhengkai didn't come to bother you, did he?" Xiao Yao suddenly thought of something.

That's it? Is that all you care about? And then you start talking about Zhang Zhengkai again?

"No," Shen Jie said, "I think my dad didn't let him know that I'm back, right?"

She herself was not confident in saying this, and added: "I don't know, anyway, he didn't come today."

"Oh..." Xiao Yao said.

"If he dares to come again, I will lock myself in the bedroom and not leave." Shen Jie comforted Xiao Yao.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yao said seriously.

"Anyway, my dad said that the promise he made in the message he sent me before still counts." Shen Jie said.

"That's not bad!" Xiao Yao said happily, "So the engagement can be cancelled, right?"

"Yes,"

"Really, my father-in-law is so..." Xiao Yao became excited.

"And no." Shen Jie carefully evaluated what her father said today: "It feels to me like it's temporarily shelved indefinitely?"

"Oh, let's take it one step at a time," Xiao Yao said somewhat disappointedly, "It would be best if it were indefinite, so that it would be fine if it were delayed until the end and nothing came of it."

"Yeah." Shen Jie said.

The two of them were silent for about ten seconds, and Shen Jie asked, "Is Nannan okay?"

"It's pretty good." Xiao Yao said.

"What will she do if you go out to eat wontons?" Shen Jie said.

"How old are you? How can you still starve to death?" Xiao Yao said, "He went out to dance with his classmates again. I don't need to take care of his food."

"Really..." Shen Jie sighed, "This child is giving me a headache, but we have so many things to do, and my mind is not on this. I don't have the time to take care of her, and I can't count on you..."

Shen Jie climbed down from the bed and walked around the room, chattering on and on about Shen Tianyun's faults and conveying her own educational philosophy. She spoke for about seven or eight minutes.

During this process, Xiao Yao just listened and occasionally agreed with a few words. Despite this, Shen Jie still felt that he seemed to be dissatisfied with Nannan.

"By the way," Xiao Yao then started a new topic: "What did you do today? After you got home?"

"I didn't do anything," Shen Jie said, "I came back at noon to eat first, and then talked with my dad."

Heart-to-heart talk refers to being locked in the study and beaten.

"I took a long nap this afternoon. Our bed is so comfortable. I'll take some photos for you later."

To take a deep nap means to lie on the bed and cry for half the afternoon and then fall asleep.

"Then we had dinner," Shen Jie said. "I played bowling with my stepmother and swam for a while."

As Shen Jie spoke, she walked into the bathroom attached to the bedroom, which was equipped with a large bathtub and a shower. The bathroom floor was paved with exquisite mosaic tiles, and the walls were decorated with Baroque-style tiles and murals, full of details.

"Aren't you under house arrest? How can you go out?" Xiao Yao asked stupidly.

The whole room was filled with a rich fragrance, which seemed to come from the various incense burners and vases placed in the room.

"What? We are all at home." Shen Jie said curiously.

“Uh uh uh uh…”

While listening to Xiao Yao's "uh", Shen Jie took off her pajamas and sat on the smart toilet seat with pain.

While peeing, she described to Xiao Yao what it was like to play bowling and swimming at home. Although she was not in the mood to play today (mainly because her butt was not in the mood), she was still able to talk about this topic easily.

Shen Jie pressed the button on the smart toilet and a stream of hot water spurted out.

She stood up and pulled up her pajamas.

It feels so good not to have to empty the spittoon? Finally, there is something that makes me feel happy.

They have talked long enough today, Shen Jie wants to end the call.

Unexpectedly, it was the person on the other end who ended the call.

"Hello, Auntie!" Xiao Yao's voice suddenly faded away and he called from afar.

"Auntie? Where are you?" Shen Jie was stunned.

"I'm outside. I won't talk to you for now." Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie subconsciously hung up the phone.

She felt that her emotions were a little...uncontrollable.

What exactly is going on?

Shen Jie quickly found the correct answer - the only person Xiao Yao could call auntie was probably Yu Luying's mother.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this in itself.

It would be strange if there is no problem!

He lied and said he was going to eat wontons, and when asked where he went, he was hesitant.

Besides, if we let you two date, you would go straight to meet the parents?

Are we going to skip dating and go straight to marriage?

Shen Jie thought of Yu's mother's forced marriage in Zhouzhuang, and felt that she was tying herself up in knots.

While I am suffering here, you can't wait to go to the silly girl's house and become her future son-in-law! ?

……

Shen Jie's mind was in a mess. She opened QQ on her phone and typed a message: "If I tell you to stop associating with silly girls now, will you listen to me?"

Then, instead of pressing send, I deleted it.

Job said, "What the Lord gave, the Lord took away," so he certainly had the right to demand that he stop associating with any other girls.

But unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't want to do anything that would make the other party look down on her, and human hearts could not withstand temptation.

Moody, erratic, jealous, and possessive? That Wasn't Me.

The girl cast her eyes towards the curtains in the room.

She straightened up and walked to the window.

If you jump from here into the swimming pool in the yard, although the physical angle is tricky, it doesn't seem impossible.

Of course, this was just a fantasy adventure, and she certainly didn't intend to risk the death penalty for a half-month prison sentence.

Shen Jie pulled open the curtains——

She saw that the originally open balcony had been transformed into a glass sun room. The moonlight shone through the thick double-layer glass, and it looked like she was really under the night sky, but the place was filled with the same incense smell as the room.

Shen Hongsheng, you're going too far.

Who do you think I am?

All the blood in Shen Jie's body was rushing to her forehead.

A breeze blew by, calming her down.

The surface of the swimming pool also rippled with the wind, as if a curved mouth was mocking her.

There is no doubt that this was well prepared.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will this sunroom.

Come to think of it, when I received the message from him that day, saying something like "Dad admits his mistake, come back, I won't force you anymore", in fact, the cage had already been built.

A surge of anger surged in her heart.

I am your daughter, not your slave?

……

It seems that this is the luxurious canary cage that her father prepared for her.

My father’s home or my husband’s home, which one is my home?

Shen Jie's gaze fell on the other side of the room, on the desk and dressing table.

They are all made of dark wood and decorated with golden carvings and reliefs. There are some books and stationery piled on the desk, as well as a computer; cosmetics and accessories are placed on the dressing table.

Next to the dressing table is a large wardrobe.

Shen Jie walked to the door of the gorgeously decorated wardrobe and pulled the two doors open with both hands.

Then he reached out and separated the clothes in the closet to the left and right.

The girl looked at herself in the mirror.

Seeing the slap mark on her pretty face, Shen Jie was shaking all over, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were filled with anger.

For some reason, the girl suddenly remembered her spiritual fortress, Ms. Mary's miserable childhood and youth.

After her father Henry VIII divorced Mary's mother "Catherine of Aragon" and married her cousin Anne Boleyn, Princess Mary, who was once the eldest princess, fell out of favor and was banished to the cold palace by her father.

Shen Jie let out a somewhat sad laugh and tentatively passed her slender fingers through the mirror.

After making sure the road was clear, she headed straight for the mirror.

--split line--

Yu Lihua pushed the door open quietly. When Xiao Yao reacted, she was already standing in front of the coffee table, holding a big watermelon - a really big one.

Xiao Yao subconsciously stood up from the bed: "Hello, Auntie!"

Yu Luying stood up from the dining table without saying a word, ran over and took the big melon from her mother.

This big watermelon looks round and full, its surface is smooth and hard, shining with a dark green luster. Its size... reminds me of a fat man's stomach that has just been stuffed with food. It's almost worrying that it will burst in the next second, with red and black liquid flowing all over the floor - in a nutshell, this should be the best time in summer.

"Auntie? Where are you?" Shen Jie's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm outside. I won't talk to you now," Xiao Yao said, "I'll talk to you when I get back. Hello, hello? Is the line disconnected?"

Xiao Yao took the phone from his ear and held it in front of him, but the caller had already hung up.

Niang Xipi.

Xiao Yao felt a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart. It was hard to predict whether it would be a blessing or a curse for him to be so caught between two girls. With his emotional intelligence and skills, the outcome would most likely be...

I said I didn't want it, I didn't want it, but you insisted on giving it to me, and then you got jealous after you gave it to me.

"Xiao Yao," Yu Lihua greeted him amiably and enthusiastically, "Shall I cut it in half and give you a spoon to scoop it out for you? Or should I cut it into small pieces?"

After what Yu Luying had just said, Xiao Yao did have more sympathy and understanding for Yu Lihua. He walked from the bed to the coffee table and looked up at the wall clock: "Auntie, I don't want to eat anymore. Taozi is full."

On second thought, if you say you don't want to eat the food they bought, it's not polite: "It's almost ten o'clock, I should go home - how about eating it tomorrow?"

Yu Lihua said: "Okay, I'll just freeze it for you."

As he spoke, he placed the watermelon on the chopping board, held it steady with one hand, found the center with his thumb, and with the other hand, held the sharp knife in reverse and stabbed the watermelon all the way through. Then he pressed down on his wrist to stretch the blade and gently pushed it apart. The watermelon immediately split into two, revealing a bright red inside.

"Then I..." Xiao Yao hurried downstairs to call Shen Jie back: "Ying... Yu Luying, I left my test paper here? You have to come tomorrow anyway."
