After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Lu Shiyi shook his head blankly and said, "No, I only have two hands."

She was just venting her frustration, simply showing off her free hand, and didn't intend to do anything real.

Unexpectedly, her husband took it seriously and immediately restrained her hand.

When Lu Shiyi felt her hand being tightly wrapped in her husband's warm palm, she felt a little lost.

She stammered slightly, "I... I was just showing off a little, I didn't mean to do anything to you. Besides, with you holding my hand like that, I can't properly hold the umbrella for you."

Seeing that his wife gave in so quickly, Fu Cheng couldn't help but tease her, "Didn't you just say that you could hold it very steadily with one hand?"

Lu Shiyi retorted, "My hand holding the umbrella is on the outside, which makes it easy for you to get wet outside the umbrella."

Fu Cheng said calmly, "Just hold on like this, I won't get wet."

She loves to show off, doesn't she? He'll let her know what happens when she shows off.

Lu Shiyi glanced down at her hand, which was being held tightly, and didn't dare to pull it away, afraid that her husband would think she was trying to take advantage of him and react in any other way.

Fu Cheng held his wife's hand tightly and didn't let go.

At first, he did hold his wife's hand to punish her, but as he held her hand longer, his feelings changed, and his face began to burn.

After Lu Shiyi opened the umbrella like this, no raindrops splashed on her face.

She didn't realize that Fu Cheng was slightly hunching over to adjust to the height of her umbrella.

After that, neither of them spoke again, but simply quietly felt the awkwardness of holding hands.

One of them believed it was a punishment, which is why it wouldn't let go.

One of them believed he was avoiding punishment, which is why he didn't pull his hand away.

…………

Soon, the brightly lit sign of the seafood buffet they were going to appeared before them.

Lu Shiyi quickly pulled her hand away and pointed ahead, saying, "That's the place. The reviews say it's especially delicious."

Fu Cheng nodded in agreement and quickened his pace to keep up with his wife.

He raised his hand and touched his other hand, which was slightly sweaty, unsure of what the strange feeling he had just experienced while holding his wife's hand meant.

After the two went inside, they found a relatively quiet spot to sit down. During the meal, Lu Shiyi was basically the one getting food and eating, repeating the process with great joy.

Fu Cheng remained seated throughout the entire meal. Whenever he saw something his wife picked up that piqued his interest, he would take a couple of bites. When he wasn't eating, he would quietly watch his wife eat.

Sometimes he actually admired his wife. She could endure hardship better than anyone else, and enjoy life better than anyone else. A seafood buffet made her feel like she was eating a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

About an hour and a half later, Lu Shiyi finally finished the battle.

The rain had stopped when the two came out of the seafood buffet.

After a rain shower, the city felt fresh and cool, while the people and vehicles coming and going after get off work brought a vibrant sense of life to the city.

The couple walked slowly towards home along the street under the streetlights.

Lu Shiyi rubbed her belly in circles with her palms, her face full of satisfaction. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a pregnant woman with her belly just starting to show, taking a leisurely stroll after dinner.

She turned to look at Fu Cheng beside her and said with a smile, "Thank you for the seafood feast."

Fu Cheng glanced at his wife and said calmly, "You should thank Grandpa. I myself am not very willing to invite you to this dinner."

Lu Shiyi: "..."

She deliberately glared at him, the man who had slowed his pace to match his wife's walk.

If she hadn't known him a little and wasn't used to his way of speaking, she probably would have turned around and left on the spot.

She echoed her husband's words, saying, "Grandpa definitely deserves our thanks, but since he's not here, it's the same if I thank his eldest grandson."

Fu Cheng didn't speak again. His personality made him seem like he was covered in sharp thorns. Others would dodge after being pricked, but she was softening his thorns...

Mentioning her grandfather, Lu Shiyi couldn't help but say to her husband with emotion, "You really have a wonderful grandfather who loves you very much!"

Fu Cheng looked up. He thought of He Ze's investigation into his wife's hometown, and he also thought of his wife's grandfather, who was trying to get rid of his granddaughter quietly.

A tenderness unconsciously appeared in his eyes as he looked at his wife. Fu Cheng said gently, "He is your grandfather now too."

Lu Shiyi grinned. Grandpa Fu had always treated her like his own granddaughter, and she felt the same way, always regarding Grandpa Fu as her own grandfather.

Regarding her marriage with Fu Cheng, she is not afraid of any outcome at present, but she is largely afraid that her grandfather will be disappointed.

So sometimes she would think that even for her grandfather's sake, she would try to understand and get closer to this husband who always kept people at arm's length.

In fact, she has now seen some of the softer side of her husband that he had hidden deep inside.

Lu Shiyi smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm doing this thanks to you."

As she spoke, she moved closer to Fu Cheng.

It wasn't because of any emotional outburst, but because a bicycle was coming from the opposite direction, and she had to dodge it slightly.

Her slight approach was insignificant, but Fu Cheng, standing beside her, instinctively took a large step forward.

Lu Shiyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Pointing at her husband, she said, "You've been bitten by a snake once, and now you're afraid of a rope for ten years, hahaha..."

Oh, as she laughed, she suddenly remembered that her husband had actually been bitten by a snake when he was a child.

When her grandfather shared some embarrassing stories about her husband's childhood, he mentioned that Fu Cheng was bitten by a snake when he was a few years old. Ever since then, whenever he sees a snake, he runs away without a care in the world.

Lu Shiyi couldn't stop laughing when she just imagined her husband's expression as he ran away.

Fu Cheng, standing to the side, was very puzzled. He had only taken one step forward, so why was his wife laughing so uncontrollably as if someone had tickled her funny bone?

Besides, doesn't she have any idea why he took that big step forward?

What angered him even more was that she actually said he was "once bitten by a snake, twice shy," a phrase he had hated most since childhood.

The slight tenderness in Fu Cheng's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling coldness.

He wanted to leave immediately, but he didn't want to hear his wife laughing so unrestrainedly.

Besides, if you really leave her alone, she's eaten herself into a round ball tonight, and if she were to be robbed, she wouldn't even be able to run away.

So, Fu Cheng turned around and strode directly to Lu Shiyi.

Then, he raised his hand and covered her mouth, which was laughing unrestrainedly...
