Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 34: The Family Heirloom Bracelet

Do you need him to say it?

Grandmother is still downstairs. As long as she doesn’t leave, they must continue to pretend to be loving!

"I understand, I’ll do my best to cooperate with you." Even if there are intimate gestures, she will grit her teeth and endure them. Mi Jing didn’t say this last sentence out loud. She still kept her head down, didn’t look at Shen Lingxing, and continued to screw the toothpaste cap back on.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingxing’s dark eyes flashed, the curve at the corner of his mouth deepened. He took a long stride and walked two or three steps to stand behind Mi Jing, wrapping his hands around her waist from behind.

Feeling the constraint around her waist, Mi Jing’s breath suddenly halted. She stiffly raised her head to look at Shen Lingxing in the mirror, frowned, and then asked, "Is it free time now? What is this?"

"Preparing props." Shen Lingxing raised his eyebrows and said with a light laugh.

Preparing props?

What props does he want to prepare? Does he need to hold her so intimately for them? Or does he mean the props are on her?

Mi Jing was at a loss, unable to guess what Shen Lingxing was planning next.

Seeing the confused expression on Mi Jing’s face, Shen Lingxing’s smile suddenly changed. It was no longer a gentle smile but rather a teasing one, "What did you just say? Did you forget?"

"What do you want to do?"

In the mirror, Shen Lingxing’s teasing smile clearly reflected into Mi Jing’s eyes, making her already tense emotions even tighter.

"Leave some marks from vigorous movement."

Shen Lingxing bent down, his chin resting on Mi Jing’s shoulder, then tilted his head and kissed her fair neck with his warm lips.

Mi Jing was stunned, her mind went blank. It wasn’t until that burning sensation came again that she finally snapped out of her shock.

"Grandmother is still waiting downstairs!"

Mi Jing hurriedly covered her slightly exposed chest, pursing her lips and glaring at Shen Lingxing in the mirror, reminding him with embarrassment and annoyance.

Of course, he remembered that grandmother was still waiting downstairs. Precisely because of this, he had to finish what he started. Otherwise, just that little trick wouldn’t fool the old lady!

Without further explanation, Shen Lingxing stepped back, then turned Mi Jing around to face him.

This sudden turn interrupted Mi Jing’s embarrassed anger. With a dizzy head and glittering eyes, she looked at Shen Lingxing, like a startled deer, which involuntarily evoked his pity.

"Relax, it’ll be over soon."

Shen Lingxing gently placed his hands on Mi Jing’s shoulders, his voice deep and tender.

Upon hearing this, a certain string in Mi Jing’s heart was plucked, her pupils contracted slightly. She then silently closed her eyes.

They are married. Whether they love each other or not, they will have to adapt to intimate touches sooner or later. She can’t keep relying on his indulgence and understanding, choosing to escape time and time again. She couldn’t avoid it anyway, so why not choose to face it calmly? Mi Jing comforted herself like this, but her trembling eyelashes betrayed her still unsettled nervousness.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxing sighed silently. Facing her reluctant compliance, he ultimately didn’t want to force her, "Never mind, you can continue brushing your teeth."

After waiting for a while, just as Mi Jing had prepared herself mentally, she heard him say ’never mind’.

Mi Jing opened her eyes in surprise, paused, then pretended to be calm and said, "I’m fine. You can continue."

"Don’t force yourself, I’ll handle it with grandmother." Shen Lingxing smiled and took two steps, picked up the toothbrush and toothpaste from the sink, and prepared to wash up.

Mi Jing stood still, glancing at Shen Lingxing who was squeezing the toothpaste, feeling somewhat touched.

"Don’t force yourself." For some reason, Mi Jing found these three words very comforting, carrying a warmth that could soothe one’s heart.

"Not together?" Shen Lingxing moved aside, making some space, and turned to ask Mi Jing.

"No, you go ahead." Mi Jing shook her head and waited aside.

Shen Lingxing moved quickly, washing up in no time, and then walked out first.

Going downstairs again, Shen Lingxing walked steadily and energetically to grandmother’s side, asking, "Grandmother, after meeting the granddaughter-in-law I chose, how do you feel? Are you satisfied?"

"If she’s truly your choice, of course, I’m satisfied."

Obviously, grandmother’s words carried extra meaning, and Shen Lingxing understood, but he didn’t explain, just smiled.

"What’s so funny? Sit down and tell me the truth." Grandmother gave Shen Lingxing a stern look and said seriously.

Shen Lingxing sat down beside grandmother and said calmly, "Grandmother, you should have investigated the truth. Mi Jing and I are indeed married, and my father and mother-in-law have met. You pick a time, I’ll arrange for them to meet you officially."

With one sentence, Shen Lingxing shifted the topic to business, and grandmother was very aware he wanted to change the subject. But compared to testing her grandson, meeting the in-laws was more important.

Things have to be prioritized. Grandmother is a very traditional person, and her grandson’s marriage is a big deal. The proper etiquette shouldn’t be neglected.

"Alright, I’m available anytime. Let the in-laws pick a time." As she spoke, grandmother saw Mi Jing coming downstairs, so she raised her voice and said, "I’m hungry. Go make me some egg noodles."

Knowing grandmother’s intention, Shen Lingxing felt somewhat helpless but couldn’t do anything about it. So he went to cook the noodles resignedly.

As soon as Shen Lingxing left, grandmother immediately changed her attitude, smiling warmly and pulling Mi Jing for a chat.

"Granddaughter-in-law, what’s your name again?" Actually, grandmother had heard about Mi Jing from Xing’er before coming. Of course, she knew her name, but out of respect and to close the distance between them, she still asked.

"Mi Jing. Mi as in rice, Jing as in quiet. Grandmother, you can call me Jingjing."

"Hmm, Jingjing, such a nice name."

While speaking, grandmother reached out to Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou had been with grandmother for decades, and they had a certain tacit understanding. Just a simple gesture or glance, and she’d understand grandmother’s intention.

Without hesitation, Mrs. Zhou swiftly and carefully took out a box from the handbag and handed it to grandmother.

"This is our Shen Family’s heirloom jade bracelet. Come, Jingjing, stretch out your hand. Grandmother will help you put it on." Grandmother took out a pure white translucent jade bracelet from the box, her slightly sunken eyes smiling warmly, her face filled with affectionate joy.

"Grandmother, this..."

Mi Jing felt somewhat overwhelmed, wanting to refuse but feeling it inappropriate to reject the elder’s good intentions. Just as she hesitated, grandmother suddenly reached out and forcefully slid the jade bracelet onto Mi Jing’s left hand.
