Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Being Jiang Xiaowu's uncle through marriage, Qi Zeyan was choked by these words, his face turning bright red.

He looked at the Huo Family's mansion and wanted to take a detour, dig up the Huo Family's corner? He intended to live a few more years; the mix of black and blue on his face was indescribably strange.

"How about that? Did I guess right?" Jiang Jinsang said with a smile as he looked at him.

"I swear, I really don't have any inappropriate thoughts towards her," Qi Zeyan immediately made his stance clear.

"I was just saying it casually, why are you taking it so seriously?" Jiang Jinsang was just teasing casually.

Qi Zeyan understood him well. If he truly had any feelings for Shen Shuci, he would have made a move a long time ago and wouldn't have been able to hide it.

Qi Zeyan chuckled sulkily, "You're joking, but for me, it's a matter of life and death."

The two were close together, and their conversation couldn't be heard by others. Meanwhile, Shen Zhixian and Tang Wan were discussing the wedding, a topic that all girls dream about. Although it wasn't her business, Shen Shuci listened attentively.

"...An open-air venue would be nice, but I'm just worried about the weather at that time? I'm concerned about rain or wind; that would be troublesome," Shen Zhixian said helplessly.

"Then we can prepare an alternative. If the weather is good, it'll be outside; if not, we can switch indoors," suggested Tang Wan with a smile. "By the way, have you decided on your bridesmaids? How many people have you found?"

"All my friends are overseas, I've only confirmed two for now and still need to find one more, I'll continue to contact some," Shen Zhixian said, still glancing at the children from the corner of her eye.

Jiangjiang stayed close to Jiang Chengsi, both whispering about something, while Taotao was initially sitting next to Jiang Jinsang and had now squeezed in between him and Jiang Shiyi.

"Three bridesmaids? What about the groomsmen on the big brother's side?"

"One friend, Zeyan, and Old Huo, although his availability isn't certain," Jiang Yanting chuckled lightly—after all, some people appear and disappear unpredictably, and whether he can make it to the wedding is not certain.

"Old Huo as a groomsman?"

Tang Wan frowned; if he went to pick up the bride, she could totally imagine what kind of scene the procession would be.

"By the way, Miss Shen, I have a rather awkward request," said Shen Zhixian suddenly turning to Shen Shuci.

"Just call me Shuci."

"That might not be appropriate," Shen Zhixian said with a smile. If they were only ordinary friends, such an address would naturally be acceptable, but she happened to be Tang Wan's aunt and thus, became sisters-in-law with Tang Wan. As such, Shen Shuci was technically her senior, making such a form of address seem somewhat inappropriate.

"Just speak freely, I'll help if I can."

"I was thinking, if we end up short on bridesmaids, could you possibly..."

Be a bridesmaid!

"Sure." Shen Shuci readily agreed; she was just filling in after all.

...

As the wedding discussion continued on this side, Taotao, who initially stuck to Jiang Jinsang, had noticed Jiangjiang and Jiang Chengsi excitedly talking about a trip and curiously joined in.

"...That amusement park is especially huge, and there's a massive Ferris wheel," Jiangjiang gestured as he described the travel experience to Jiang Chengsi.

Taotao moved to the other side of Jiang Chengsi, naturally brushing against Jiang Shiyi, who was about to drink tea when she accidentally bumped him, spilling the tea.

"Uncle Third Hall, I'm sorry," Taotao apologized sincerely.

She and Jiang Shiyi, adding together, had not met many times and weren't familiar with each other. As a learned and refined uncle, children are very sensitive, and she knew this uncle was not easy to deal with. Looking at him, her heart pounded wildly, nearly scaring her to death.

"It's okay," Jiang Shiyi pulled a piece of paper towel, wiped his hands, and actually shifted his chair, freeing up some space for her.

After the meal ended, Shen Zhixian had drunk quite a bit, and with Jiangjiang and Taotao sticking close to Jiang Chengsi, he ended up taking the two kids with him. Tang Wan decided to stay with Shen Shuci at the Left Bank Garden, while the rest went their separate ways.

Taking care of the kids was extremely tiring, especially since Taotao nearly got hit by a car. The nerves of Shen Zhixian had been extremely tense in the last few days. Once home, she relaxed completely, and after chatting with Tang Wan, her spirits lifted and she got heavily drunk. When Jiang Yanting finished tidying up the table and returned to the room...

She was naked, wrapped in the blanket, sleeping deeply.

"Xianxian?" Jiang Yanting poured a cup of honey water and placed it on the bedside, noticing she'd wrapped herself too tightly, and gently pulled the blanket down a bit.

Shen Zhixian opened her eyes groggily, perhaps revisiting old memories, her memory overlapped, and she suddenly reached out, hooked his neck, and held him tightly.
