This was the first time Shi Xiao felt at home. It was a heartwarming feeling of having someone to accompany him.

After the meal, Zhao Mian came in and cleaned up the table. After Zhao Mian cleaned up the room and left, only Yuan Shu and Shi Xiao were in the office. Only then did Yuan Shu speak again.

However, since they had already finished discussing business, there was no need to be so serious. Yuan Shu’s tone was also very relaxed.

“I remember that after we got married, I stayed in the villa while you stayed at the ancestral home. Later, because 1 was holding cocktail parties at the ancestral home, I moved there. Since the two of us have already agreed, I’ll pack my things and move back to the villa in the afternoon.”

Shi Xiao wiped his hands with a tissue, then crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can as he said, “Let’s move over in the afternoon. The ancestral home is a little remote, so it’s not convenient to commute to the company daily. Why don’t we live in the villa together?”

Yuan Shu raised her eyebrows slightly. Was this guy doing this on purpose? For an entire month, he didn’t find it troublesome to stay in the ancestral home, but now, he suddenly found it too remote?

However, Yuan Shu didn’t show her displeasure. She only said calmly, “Alright, then let Li Yue clean up two rooms.”

Upon hearing that she wanted two separate rooms, Shi Xiao froze for a moment. He knew that Yuan Shu was deliberately drawing a line between them. Although he planned to have two separate rooms as well, he was still a little frustrated by Yuan Shu’s straightforward rejection.

The corners of Shi Xiao’s lips curled up slightly as he thought to himself, “Yuan Shu, we still have a long way to go.”

With the experience of moving from the villa to the ancestral home, Yuan Shu packed her things even faster. She had basic daily necessities on both sides and only needed to prepare some clothes. Therefore, in just half an hour, Yuan Shu finished packing a suitcase of clothes.

Shi Xiao had clothes on both sides and a full wardrobe, so he didn’t even need to pack anything that he needed to carry back and forth.

When the two of them appeared in the villa together, the villa’s butler, Li Yue, was very surprised and marveled to herself, “What a topic of the century! These two people actually appeared together! Why did Young Master’s relationship with Young Madam improve by leaps and bounds after he returned from Africa?!”

However, Li Yue had seen the changes in Yuan Shu and was already filled with respect for her. Unlike before, when she retorted her from time to time. Instead, she listened to Yuan Shu completely.

As Li Yue tidied up the room for the two of them and placed the clothes in the luggage in the cabinet, she couldn’t help but think, “I was just marveling that Young Master and Young Madam’s relationship has improved by leaps and bounds, but the two of them want to sleep in separate rooms. How strange.”

At the ancestral home, Wu Yan had already informed Shi Yi and Shi Bin that their brother and sister-in-law had moved away and asked if they wanted to move back to the villa together.

Shi Yi and Shi Bin immediately said, “No!”

At the same time, they resented Yuan Shu. How could she bear to abandon the two of them and return to the villa? However, although they wanted to live with Yuan Shu, they definitely didn’t want to see their brother!

They hadn’t had enough of this carefree lifestyle. They didn’t want to go back and get scolded! Just looking at their brother’s cold face would affect their appetite!

However, Shi Lu wasn’t as lucky as the two of them.

He accompanied Zhang Zhang out for a trip in the afternoon. When he returned at night, there were already two more people at home. There was even food on the table and a long dining table. The two of them sat on opposite ends as they waited for Shi Lu to return. When they saw Shi Lu, they actually smiled at him at the same time.

Shi Lu felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

Why didn’t anyone tell him in advance that his brother had also moved back?

Originally, he had secretly returned to the villa because he had made up his mind that after his brother returned, his sister-in-law definitely wouldn’t stay in the ancestral home for long and would come back to accompany him soon. He didn’t expect that although she came back, she didn’t come back alone!

Help!!!
