Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1114 - 1110: Curiosity

"Don’t scare Dou Dou."

Taozi pulled Dou Dou into her arms and deliberately raised her eyebrows at Shen Siyuan.

The fact that Shen Siyuan once lived with someone else is, after all, a thing of the past.

Taozi wasn’t really angry, just had an indescribable feeling of discomfort and a hint of jealousy.

Besides, the main wife hasn’t even said anything yet.

Sure enough, the next second, Ruan Hongzhuang pinched Shen Siyuan’s waist lightly, her tone teasing: "Tell me, did you lie to me back then?"

Shen Siyuan immediately gasped exaggeratedly, pretending to be in pain: "I really didn’t. Didn’t you go to the place I lived back then? Was there any trace of a woman living there?"

"It’s been so long, how could I remember?"

Ruan Hongzhuang pouted, dissatisfied. "Besides, I didn’t even think about it back then, how could I notice such things?"

At that time, she was utterly smitten with Shen Siyuan, actively chasing after him with a heated mind, not caring about the details.

Thinking of this, her gaze toward Shen Siyuan softened unconsciously. It’s still the same now, still so charming.

Until Taozi, sitting opposite, couldn’t stand it anymore and lightly kicked her under the table.

Is now the time for you to go all starry-eyed?

Ruan Hongzhuang snapped back to her senses, quickly sat up straight, and cleared her throat: "Just be honest, how far did you and Jiang Tingyu go? I’m not trying to dig up the past; after all, it’s in the past. I just don’t want you to lie to me."

Shen Siyuan: "..."

"There really was nothing between us; we just had meals together twice."

He explained helplessly, "Don’t listen to Dou Dou talking nonsense, I’ve never lived with her."

"I’m not talking nonsense."

Dou Dou emerged from Taozi’s embrace, her little face puffed up like a small pufferfish, looking unconvinced.

She’s an honest little girl, telling only the truth.

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi were about to show a "see, I told you" expression when, the next second, they heard Dou Dou asking in confusion:

"What is living together?"

"Uh..."

Shen Siyuan looked at the two of them suspiciously.

Dou Dou doesn’t even know what "living together" means, and yet you’re saying she’s accusing me of living with someone? Is that reasonable?

Ruan Hongzhuang instinctively looked at Taozi.

Taozi immediately looked down at Dou Dou, a bit embarrassed: "Didn’t you just say Brother Potato and that aunt lived in the same room?"

Dou Dou suddenly realized: "Oh, so living together means living in the same room."

She immediately started counting on her fingers: "Then I’m living together with Tang Tang, living with Auntie, and living with Duoduo..."

Shen Siyuan: "..."

Now he finally understood.

"Did you misunderstand something about me?"

He pointed his finger at Jiang Tingyu’s table: "I went over just now not to greet Jiang Tingyu, but to Lin Manzhi."

"Lin Manzhi?"

Ruan Hongzhuang was taken aback and instinctively looked in the direction he pointed.

She happened to see Lin Manzhi talking to someone at the same table, and even though she only saw her side profile, it was undoubtedly her.

Ruan Hongzhuang had a deep impression of this woman.

Not just because she introduced Jiang Tingyu to Shen Siyuan, but because she was exceptionally beautiful herself, with an outstanding temperament, unforgettable.

"Lin Manzhi and I used to be in the same department."

Shen Siyuan continued to explain, "At that time, some colleagues and I did live in the same room, but it wasn’t just her."

Ruan Hongzhuang: "..."

The air fell silent for a brief second.

Then, her tone suddenly became particularly gentle: "I heard it all from Taozi, I trusted her too much, but the biggest problem is in me, I shouldn’t have doubted you."

After that, she looked meaningfully at Taozi across from her.

Taozi: "(⊙ˍ⊙)"

That blame was shifted so naturally!

She looked down at the silly Dou Dou beside her and thought, fine, this little silly face can’t take the blame either.

"Alas, it’s all my fault; I was thinking too much." Taozi sighed, cooperating fully.

Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but laugh aloud simultaneously.

Seeing them laugh, Taozi also joined in, and several little ones saw their happiness and giggled along, each giggle louder than the last.

The commotion at this table soon caught the attention of Lin Manzhi, not far away.

She glanced back, saw Ruan Hongzhuang there, and immediately understood that she must have misunderstood Shen Siyuan earlier. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Is that woman his wife?" Jiang Tingyu asked in a low voice.

Even though she claimed not to care, she couldn’t help but compare when she saw Ruan Hongzhuang’s beauty and aura.

But the other side, whether in appearance or temperament, was far above her, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Yes, that’s her."

Lin Manzhi nodded, "A super-rich girl."

Even she couldn’t help but feel envious when speaking of her.

"She’s really beautiful," Jiang Tingyu genuinely praised.

The people at the table hadn’t paid much attention before, but upon hearing them talk, they all craned their necks to take a look.

"Wow, both of them are so beautiful, they’re beauties!"

"One’s stunningly mature, the other’s sweet and charming, their aura is too impressive."

"Being able to marry either one would make anyone envious."

"Why are there so many children? Are they all married? Are the kids that big already?"

"Is their family wealthy? What do they do?"

...

Everyone started talking at once.

Seeing their curiosity, Lin Manzhi decided to explain: "Her family is in shipping; do you know Eastern Shipping? That’s her family’s."

This statement made the table fall a bit silent.

"I attended her wedding before, and the round-trip airfare and accommodation were all covered, plus the return gift was quite extravagant."

"What was given?" someone couldn’t help but ask.

"An entire set of Estée Lauder skincare products, a bottle of Dior perfume, a Hermes scarf, a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, and a custom pair of Chow Tai Fook jewelry."

Lin Manzhi thought for a moment and added: "And there were also cigarettes, chocolates, and more. Overall, that trip was totally worth it."

The table went completely silent.

After a good while, someone finally asked faintly: "So... Manzhi, how much did you give as a wedding gift?"

"A thousand." Lin Manzhi said calmly.

"That’s a huge profit for you then."

"It’s the thought that counts."

Lin Manzhi laughed, "Someone in our department originally planned to give two hundred, but at the scene, it seemed too small, so they added another three hundred on the spot."

"Actually, at this level, whether you give more or less, they wouldn’t care." someone sighed.

"Exactly." Lin Manzhi nodded, "Whether I give a thousand or ten thousand makes no difference to them."

Someone hesitated for a moment before asking softly: "Then... Manzhi, are you going over to say hello?"

At that moment, someone was already secretly searching "Eastern Shipping" on their phone, clicking their tongue in amazement after looking at it.

Some connections shouldn’t be missed, whether they’re useful or not.

That’s not being opportunistic; it’s reality.

Lin Manzhi considered for a moment, then without hesitation, stood up and walked toward that table.
