Chapter 204: If you're not afraid to become brothers with the palace eunuch, go ahead and try

"Give!"

Shi Lin took another one out.

Qiao Sheng's expression froze; she never imagined she also had one.

She just said that, and he isn't even angry?

Shi Lin saw Qiao Sheng's expression, smiled and said: "Silly? You're my future wife; even my future aunt's younger sisters have one, how could you not have one?"

"Who's your future wife?"

Qiao Sheng gave Shi Lin a sideways glance.

Shi Lin said calmly: "I say it is, so it is."

Without waiting for Qiao Sheng to speak.

Shi Lin pulled her aside to whisper: "Qiao Sheng, you're actually already my wife, aren't you? Speaking of which, I'm getting a raw deal as a husband—I haven't even eaten any meat. Do you want me to take it back?"

Nice dream!

Qiao Sheng raised an eyebrow: "If you want meat, you're not afraid to become brothers with the palace eunuch—go ahead and try."

Shi Lin's mouth corner twitched involuntarily.

"You're really ruthless."

Qiao Sheng replied: "It's not too late for you to know now..."

She wanted him to give up on her.

Not even a door.

Shi Lin said: "Qiao Sheng, haven't you heard the saying? To die under peonies is to be a romantic ghost. Getting a beauty like you is worth dying for. That said, if I really wanted to, you might not be my match."

"Yes, yes, you're amazing..."

Qiao Sheng stopped paying attention to him and turned to leave.

Shi Lin caught up and shoved the red packet into her hand; the packet was bulging, obviously full of silver notes.

Qiao Sheng's mood instantly became complicated; does he really like her that much?

He likes her, but would his family agree?

How long can his liking last?

Qiao Sheng didn't want to say another word to Shi Lin; she said she wanted to sleep and went back to her room.

Shi Lin knew he'd been a bit over the top today; tonight he didn't go look for Qiao Sheng again. After Xiao Shitou and the others went to sleep, he also went to his own room to sleep.

Early morning.

Xiao Shitou woke Shi Lin up.

Today is the first day of the lunar new year; as usual we eat sweet rice balls, but this year's sweet rice balls were wrapped under Lan Yue Niang's direction by Xia Yue and the others, with black sesame filling and peanut filling.

"Good morning, everyone."

"Shengsheng, good morning."

As soon as Shi Lin sat down, he greeted everyone.

Qiao Sheng suddenly heard him call her like that, and goosebumps rose: "Shi Lin, can't you be normal?"

"Shengsheng, what's not normal about me?"

Shi Lin looked at her with a wronged expression.

Lan Yue Niang said from the side: "Lianhua, don't be so fierce; Shi Lin calls you that because he likes you—have you heard him call anyone else that way?"

Qiao Sheng: "……"

Is she her birth mother? She's favoring an outsider!

How much she wants to marry her off to Shi Lin!

Qiao Sheng spoke up: "Mother, if he goes out shouting like that, what will others think?"

"This..."

Lan Yue Niang didn't know how to respond to Qiao Sheng for a moment.

Shi Lin said from the side: "Shengsheng, don't worry; I only call you that in front of our own people, I won't do so in front of outsiders."

Lan Yue Niang and the others felt relieved, so they didn't say anything else.

Qiao Lihua felt the atmosphere a bit subdued, and chuckled: "Big sister, the sweet rice balls are ready; let's stop chatting, eat first, then talk."

The sweet rice balls weren't very big.

Qiao Sheng ate six: two with peanut filling, four with black sesame filling.

When you haven't eaten it, you really crave it.

After eating it, she feels it's too rich.

It's too sweet.

Lan Yue Niang saw that Shi Lin had finished all eight sweet rice balls in his bowl, picked up a spoon to serve him more: "Shi Lin, there's still some here—come, have some more."
