The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool Chapter 311 - Sweetness

Chapter 311: Sweetness
Shangguan Han cried and complained. He even hugged the pillar and asked, “Why am I so pitiful? You’re the only one who treats me the best. You’ll never betray me…”
His behavior stunned Shen Yijia.
Song Jingchen frightened her and said, “You’re even worse off when you’re drunk.”
Shen Yijia was speechless.!!
She silently swallowed the wine in her mouth and returned Song Jingchen’s cup.
The thought of being so embarrassing in front of her beautiful husband made her feel terrible.
Song Jingchen saw her actions and smiled.
Shangguan Han drank too much. He wished he could pour out all the bitterness he had suffered over the past year. It was supposed to be a happy family reunion dinner, but he ruined the atmosphere.
Song Jingchen asked Yan Tai and Butler Wan to send him back to the prince’s residence with a dark expression. The remaining people removed the food and didn’t dare to be an eyesore in front of the couple.
From time to time, there would be the crackling sound of firecrackers outside.
The firecrackers broke the silence of the night.
Shen Yijia secretly drank a glass of wine, but this wine was different from the fruit wine she had drunk in Xiagou Village.
Just the amount of wine in one glass made her feel a little dizzy. In order to avoid embarrassing herself, she silently climbed to the roof to stay awake.
Song Jingchen was helpless, but he couldn’t dissuade her. He could only accompany her to prevent her from falling.
Now, the lives of the citizens of Xunyang City were gradually getting on the right track.
The two of them sat on the roof and watched the lights of Xunyang City and the scene of children chasing each other by the roadside with firecrackers lit. For a moment, no one spoke.
Shen Yijia suddenly grinned at Song Jingchen. “Hubby, you’re amazing.”
If not for her beautiful husband, Xunyang City would probably have looked very different by now.
Without waiting for Song Jingchen to speak, she said sadly, “I wonder how Mother and the others have been this year.”
Last year, the household was always lively. This year, there were only the two of them left.
“They’re fine. Don’t worry,” Song Jingchen said softly as he looked south.
Shen Yijia chuckled. “I think so too.”
She pointed at the distant lights. “That’s nice, but it’ll be better next year.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s celebrate the new year together in the future.”
“Alright.”
There was a moment of silence.
Song Jingchen had always been a man of few words. Most of the time, Shen Yijia would talk non-stop when the two of them were together. He listened attentively and occasionally added a few words.
For a while, he didn’t hear the person beside him speak. Song Jingchen turned his head and saw Shen Yijia dozing off.
He rubbed his forehead and was about to carry her back to his room. When his hand touched Shen Yijia, she woke up. She raised her head and looked at him in confusion.
Song Jingchen thought to himself, “Why do I feel guilty?”
“I’ll carry you down,” Song Jingchen explained with a dry cough.
Shen Yijia rubbed her eyes and shook her head. “No, I have to stay awake for the new year.”
After saying that, she pulled Song Jingchen’s hand and wrapped it around her. She snuggled into Song Jingchen’s arms and smiled in satisfaction. “It’s warm like this.”
“Yes.” Song Jingchen smiled.
Since Shen Yijia said that she wanted to stay awake for the new year, Song Jingchen let her sleep in his arms until midnight before gently waking her up. “You can go back to the house and sleep.”
He actually wanted to carry her back to the house, but if he did that, Shen Yijia would blame herself again when she woke up in the morning.
Shen Yijia opened her eyes and saw Song Jingchen’s good-looking face.
No matter how many times she looked at him, her heart would still beat uncontrollably.
Shen Yijia watched infatuatedly for a long time before grinning. “Hubby, Happy New Year.”
Song Jingchen felt a little uncomfortable under her straightforward gaze. He turned his face away and said hoarsely, “Yes, Happy New Year.”
“What else?” Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks and asked.
Song Jingchen looked at her in confusion. “What else?”
Shen Yijia sighed. She had to take the initiative every time. She had to maintain her dignity, too.
Song Jingchen suppressed the smile on his face and was about to speak when a small hand grabbed his collar.
Shen Yijia pulled him down and successfully gave him a kiss.
“If he won’t do it, I will.” she thought.
It was satisfying.
Shen Yijia gently touched him and let go. She looked at Song Jingchen with sparkling eyes. “This is a New Year’s gift for you.”
Song Jingchen stared at her with his deep eyes. He lowered his head, domineeringly and gently covering that softness again.
This kiss lasted for a long time. There was no longer the sound of firecrackers around them. It was so quiet that only the sound of the two of them kissing could be heard.
Song Jingchen tightened his grip bit by bit. The night wind was cold, but their hearts were burning.
If not for the fact that this girl was still young, Song Jingchen really wanted to punish her on the spot.
It took a lot of restraint for him to leave those red lips. He leaned his forehead against hers and said hoarsely, “Courtesy demands reciprocity.”
Shen Yijia was stunned and laughed out loud. She pecked Song Jingchen’s lips provocatively again.
Song Jingchen found her lips and kissed them again.
Shen Yijia seemed to be addicted. She kissed him again and smiled at Song Jingchen, as if to say, “It’s your turn.”
Song Jingchen was helpless and touched her forehead. Without giving her a chance to continue, he pulled her into his arms. “It’s time to go back to your room and sleep.”
Shen Yijia let him carry her and jump down from the roof. She muttered, “Then shall we continue when we get to the room?”
After sleeping for a while, she was much more awake now. She could spend the night playing with her beautiful husband.
Song Jingchen was speechless.
“What a bewitching girl.” he thought.
Back in the capital, the atmosphere was just right, but Emperor Chong’an was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Lord Zhou and the others did not arrive before New Year’s Eve. They entered the city late at night.
When they arrived, the banquet in the palace had yet to end, but Lord Zhou knew how guarded Emperor Chong’an was against Song Jingchen. He couldn’t care less and entered the palace overnight.
At first, Eunuch Li did not know why Lord Zhou suddenly left Xunyang. Later on, seeing that he was traveling day and night, even a fool could guess that Lord Zhou had discovered something extraordinary.
However, no matter how he tried to beat around the bush and ask, Lord Zhou refused to reveal a single word.
Standing at the entrance of Yangxin Hall, Eunuch Li felt uneasy.
“Eunuch Li, you haven’t left yet?”
Eunuch Deng walked out of the hall and asked sarcastically.
These few days, when Eunuch Li was not around, it was always Eunuch Deng who served Emperor Chong’an. He even gained Emperor Chong’an’s favor and seemed to want to replace him.
Eunuch Li glanced at Eunuch Deng’s smug expression and his eyes flashed.
Only Emperor Chong’an and Lord Zhou were left in Yangxin Hall.
“Young Master Shenzhi is Song Jingchen?” Emperor Chong’an leaned forward and stared at the person kneeling below.
He had drunk a lot just now. Initially, he did not think much of it when he heard that Lord Zhou had something urgent to report. However, after hearing Lord Zhou’s report, he sobered up.
“Your Majesty, it’s absolutely true.” Lord Zhou lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice. Then, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and explained everything he had seen and heard in Xunyang City, Shangguan Han’s exact words, and the list of names.
