Shen Tulong was silent for a moment and said, "Nothing important, right?"

Wen Wen: "No... She said she would give me something. I just told her I was having a feast, that's all."

Shen Tulong: “Yeah.”

After all, sisters love each other deeply. Wen Wen was sad about Gan Qi's estrangement a few days ago, and Shen Tulong saw it.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, Gan Qi called to offer Wenwen a gift.

The feelings between women are really strange, sometimes good, sometimes bad, but they always seem to be tied by a rope.

The banquet went by very quickly, with everyone toasting and talking and laughing.

At this time, Erhu was carrying a big bag full of things.

Once opened, it is filled with various kinds of special small steamed buns.

"Brother Tu Long said you like to eat these, sister-in-law! This is a little gift from us. Take it back to the city and enjoy it slowly. Don't forget to put it in the freezer. It will last for a long time."

Erhu smiled naively. Wenwen looked at the big bag of specialty steamed buns, and after being surprised, she felt a little touched.

She just said it casually in the morning, but she didn't expect Shen Tulong to write it down.

Wen Wen was a little confused: "Thank you... isn't it too expensive..."

Shen Tulong's tone remained calm:

"Here, take it. We'll put it in the trunk and take it back later... This thing isn't worth much, it's just a token of our appreciation."

In addition to these specialty steamed buns, there are also several rough paper bags filled with dried bamboo shoots and fragrant fried peanuts.

"This is what Third Uncle gave to you, Sister-in-law Wenwen! Come back with Brother Tu Long often when you have time!"

Wenwen smiled even more ashamedly.

"thanks, thanks."

Shen Tulong helped Wen Wen put these things into the trunk of the car.

Seeing that Wenwen was a little absent-minded, shame was written all over her face.

"what happened?"

Wenwen: "It's okay, I just feel a little guilty... If these relatives knew we were fake, they would be so sad."

Shen Tulong: "I'm not that sad... I don't care about that many people, but Third Uncle will definitely be furious."

Wenwen silently closed the trunk.

She had been a well-behaved person all her life, but today was the biggest lie she had ever told.

Shen Tulong: "Didn't Gan Qi want to give you a gift? It's just right that you give her some of these specialties, it's a gift of reciprocity."

Wenwen knew that Sister Gan Qi would definitely like to eat these things.

only……

"If she asks me where these came from, what should I say... Sigh."

Shen Tulong: "Just say it's a local specialty from a business trip."

Wenwen smiled bitterly.

If Sister Gan Qi knew that she didn't do anything serious on this "business trip", but instead played the role of the boss's wife and held a rather formal wedding in his hometown... she would definitely be shocked!

Shen Tulong was very calm:

"I know what you're worried about. Are you worried that Gan Qi will find out that you and I have a wedding? Are you worried that she will blame you for doing such a ridiculous thing? Are you worried that she will put pressure on you?"

Wenwen nodded weakly.

Shen Tulong snorted coldly: "She was able to get married to a man she had just met for the first time. Compared to that, your fake wedding is nothing."

Wenwen: …

The guests left the table in twos and threes, and the sound of cups and plates clinking gradually faded into background noise.

Shen Tulong raised his hand to look at his watch, then looked up at the sky, and suddenly thought of something.

"Wenwen, go and rest for a while after you finish eating. I'll go take care of some things. When we're done, we'll go back to the city together."

Wen Wen blurted out subconsciously: "What are you going to do?"

Shen Tulong was silent and did not answer.

At this moment, Erhu next to him suddenly leaned forward and said, "Brother Tulong? Are you going to the mountain?"

Wen Wen was puzzled: "Why would you go to the mountain for no reason?"

But after asking this question, she regretted it.

Because Wen Wen saw that Shen Tulong's cold face was as cold as ice, he was very resistant to others asking about his private affairs.

Erhu, however, kept smiling, looking a bit silly: "Sister-in-law, as his wife, you don't even know? Brother Tu Long must go up the mountain to worship the elders!"

As he spoke, a hint of doubt appeared on his face:

"Brother Tu Long, it's rare for you to bring your sister-in-law back. Why did you let her go back to rest? You should let her go up the mountain with you."

Shen Tulong lowered his voice: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Erhu also realized that he seemed to have talked too much. He scratched his head, smiled foolishly, and turned around to drink with others.

Wen Wen asked cautiously, "Is it true? You're going to the mountain to worship your mother?"

Shen Tulong said "hmm" coldly.

Shen Tulong said with an unquestionable calmness: "You stay in the house and wait for me to come back before leaving."

Wen Wen pondered for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "Let me go with you."

Shen Tulong looked at her in surprise, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

His mother had passed away many years earlier, and he wanted to go up the mountain to pay her respects. What did this have to do with her?

There's no need to let her be with him.

Wen Wen's face was calm. "You'd better take me with you. Erhu is right. I am now nominally your wife, and your mother is my mother-in-law... How can you go to the mountain to worship without me?"

Shen Tulong doesn't like others interfering in his private affairs.

Wen Wen said softly, "Now everyone in the village knows that I'm your wife, so you should take me with you... Although your mother and I have never met, she is my elder after all. It's okay for me to go over and give her a bouquet of flowers and say a few warm words."

"I'll accompany you to sweep the graves and lend a hand. You won't feel lonely. Auntie's spirit in heaven won't feel lonely either."

As she said this, Wen Wen quietly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Tulong.

She felt like she had a rabbit in her heart, not knowing whether her actions would seem abrupt to him.

Shen Tulong's eyes were dark and serious, like a deep pool.

He stared at Wen Wen, his eyes so complicated that it was hard to guess.

Lian Shengpi was used to the intrigues and deceptions between people, and it was difficult for him to let down his guard against a simple woman like Wen Wen.

He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. He was silent for a long time before slowly nodding:

"it is good."

Wenwen smiled gently.

The Land Rover drove up the mountain.

Go up along the winding mountain road and cut a small path.

After turning a few corners, the car stopped halfway up the mountain, and Wen Wen followed Shen Tulong out of the car.

The wind in the mountains was very cold. Wenwen wrapped herself in thick clothes and was glad that she had brought an extra coat when she came.

Shen Tulong walked in front, walked in the weeds for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a simple tombstone.

He bent down with his tall body and gently brushed off the lime on the monument.

There was a simple stone altar in front of the tombstone. Shen Tulong tidied it up bit by bit. At this moment, he did not have any of his usual cold and domineering attitude.

The movements are gentle and delicate.

Wen Wen stood behind him and watched this scene, and suddenly felt that this man was very pitiful.

The son wanted to be filial but his parents were no longer around. Such a strong man lost his mother early.

Shen Tulong took a deep breath and said, "My mother has a hard life."

He suddenly spoke in a low voice, saying something he had never said to anyone else.

Wen Wen said softly, "Auntie...she must have died of illness."

Shen Tulong: "I died of exhaustion."

Wenwen was speechless, not knowing how to respond.

Shen Tulong said, "Do you know why I don't want to get married?"

Wen Wen: "Is it because mother is not doing well?"

Shen Tulong sneered: "It's not just bad, it's humiliating."
