"Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng …"
Shang'er looked at Ning Cheng and called out happily. Ning Cheng quickly let go of her hand.
Ning Cheng hurriedly passed the pen and paper over and smiled at him.
"I'll stay." Ning Cheng emphasized seriously.
"Business people have business rules. Words are not proof. Words are proof." Shang'er was also serious.
"You don't trust me that much?" Ning Cheng asked.
"Is this all you've got?" Shang'er asked back.
Ning Cheng really didn't want to argue with her. He took the pen and graciously wrote down a contract to sell himself to Shang'er as a slave.
Before Shang'er could remind him, he went to the desk to find some ink and imprinted his handprint. Shang'er read every word and didn't hesitate to bite her finger and leave a blood imprint.
"Alright, Ah Cheng. From today onwards, you belong to me, Shangguan Shang'er, in life and in death, you belong to me! I'll definitely treat you well! "Shang'er said with a smile.
Ning Cheng didn't respond. Shang'er took the blood-stained golden needle and carefully wiped it clean. Ning Cheng watched quietly.
After Shang'er wiped it clean, he wanted to take it back, but Shang'er didn't let him. "Take this as a token of your love for me."
A complicated look flashed past Ning Cheng's eyes. He said lightly, "Give it back. I'll give you something else."
"I don't want it!" Shang'er held the golden needle tightly, afraid that Ning Cheng would snatch it away. "I heard that other than the Shadow, the Di Clan's Ning Family is the most loyal to the Western Qin Royal Family. This must be the most important thing to you, right? Hehe, I want the most important thing to you! "
As Shang'er said this, she stuck the golden needle horizontally on her clothes near her heart. Ning Cheng didn't even dare to touch it. Ning Cheng didn't insist. "You can do whatever you want."
Shang'er said jokingly, "Just treat it as a family heirloom. If our child can't survive in Xuankong in the future, let him take this token to Han Yunxi. No matter what, he can still make a living."
Ning Cheng gave Shang'er a disdainful look. However, he did not ask Shang'er for the golden needle in the end. He had steeled his heart to conceal his identity here. Perhaps decades, or even centuries later, this golden needle would allow future generations to find the roots of the Di Clan's Ning Family.
After putting away Ning Cheng's slave contract, Shang 'er immediately ran to tell Shang Guanze that Ah Cheng was her man and that they were just throwing tantrums before. If the Shangguan family wanted to acknowledge her as their daughter, they would have to acknowledge Ah Cheng as their son-in-law.
Shangguan Ze had always admired Ah-Cheng, and when he heard his sister say "my man", he could only nod. However, he said seriously, "Shang'er, after Father comes out of seclusion, your identity will be made public in the family first. Those uncles may not acknowledge Ah Cheng …"
He hesitated for a moment before saying directly, "The daughters of the Shangguan family have always married into a higher position."
Shang'er was so angry that she almost revealed Ning Cheng's identity. She thought about it and only replied, "Okay, then I'll wait for Father to come out and tell him myself."
How could Shang'er wait for Father to come out of seclusion?
It was never her style to sit and wait for others to make a choice. After leaving Shangguan Ze's room, she already had a plan in mind.
Shangguan Ze was arranging their residence. He wanted to let Shang'er and Ah Cheng stay elsewhere before Father came out of seclusion to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, everyone in the family knew that he had brought a woman back.
Two days later, Shangguan Ze personally sent Shang'er and Ah Cheng out of the Shangguan residence secretly. He took a detour to avoid Han Xiang's people and sent them to a small courtyard house in the alley next to the Shangguan residence.
Before Shangguan Ze left, Shang'er couldn't help but ask, "Brother, Han Xiang is going to kill us. What should we do?"
It must be mentioned that on the second day after Ning Cheng left the Liubei Chamber of Commerce, someone sent the account book to Han Xiang. At the same time, someone spread the news that Han Xiang had officially taken over the Liubei Chamber of Commerce.
Han Xiang originally only wanted to cooperate with Ning Cheng. After seeing the account book and receiving the news, she suddenly realized how much she had underestimated Ah Cheng. She also realized that she had been tricked. These days, she had been looking for Ah Cheng all over the world.
"Don't worry. She won't dare to do anything within the Shangguan family's sphere of influence. Before your identity is made public, don't go out and don't go to the south. The south is her territory. "Shangguan Ze said seriously.
Shang'er nodded seriously. "If we can't afford to offend her, then we'll hide first."
After sending Shangguan Ze off, Shang'er and Ning Cheng began to live in seclusion in their own world. Even though he couldn't go out, Ning Cheng didn't idle around. He studied the recipe for brewing wine and shut himself in the room all day.
Shang'er, who felt uncomfortable when she didn't go out for a day, was very calm. She stayed by Ning Cheng's side every day and urged Ning Cheng to eat his three meals a day. The rest of the time, she was very quiet.
This state lasted for three days. Ning Cheng felt uncomfortable. He stopped cooking the rice and asked, "Don't you want to find something to do?"
"Aren't I here to accompany you?" Shang'er said with a smile.
"Don't you want to find something else to do?" Ning Cheng asked again.
"I have plans." Shang'er answered.
"What are you going to do?" Ning Cheng was curious.
Shang'er's ears turned red. "It's a secret."
The light in the kitchen wasn't very good. Ning Cheng didn't see the blush on Shang'er's face. He just felt a little uneasy. He continued to ask, "Then why are you still standing here? Aren't you going to do it? "
Shang'er answered, "Wait a little longer. I … am not ready yet."
She had been preparing for this ever since her brother told her that the daughters of the Shangguan family would only marry into a high position.
Ning Cheng became more and more suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He continued to roll up his sleeves and sit in front of the stove to stoke the fire.
Shang'er looked at his back. She couldn't help but wonder why she despised this guy for being blind back then. Even the way he cooked the rice was so beautiful. If she had known this would happen, she would have obediently listened to Le Zheng and married him. Perhaps, there wouldn't be so many troublesome things today.
It was already late at night when Ning Cheng sealed the wine jars and hid them in the basement. After taking a bath, he drank wine in the room.
He didn't know when he had developed the habit of slowly sipping a glass of wine before going to bed. He sat lazily on the warm couch, playing with the wine glass while thinking about things.
Even though he was forced to stay, his days were still very leisurely and comfortable.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The servants in the courtyard were only here for a few days. They definitely wouldn't knock at this late hour. Ning Cheng didn't need to ask to know that it was Shang'er.
He didn't open the door. He only asked, "What's the matter?"
"Something important. Hurry and open the door," Shang'er said seriously.
"What's so important that you have to say it now?" Ning Cheng asked again.
"It's not about saying it now, it's about doing it now! I'm ready. It has to be done now, "Shang'er answered.
Ning Cheng recalled what she said in the kitchen this afternoon. He was curious but also felt that something was wrong. In the end, he still went to open the door.
When the door opened, who knew …
Shang'er was wearing a long pink dress that reached her chest, revealing her beautiful collarbone. She wore a thin blouse that faintly revealed her beautiful back. She even put on some light makeup. Compared to her usual gender-neutral attire, she looked prettier and gentler.
Unfortunately, her smile broke her disguise. Because her smile was very sneaky.
Ning Cheng's gaze fell on her chest. There was a big bow tied around her chest. Under the cute and playful skin was a seductive cleavage. She followed Ning Cheng's gaze and looked down at herself. Her smile became even more sneaky.
After preparing for so long, this outfit really caught his eye.
"Ah Cheng, I …"
She was about to open her mouth when Ning Cheng immediately wanted to close the door. Ning Cheng was almost thirty years old. He wasn't a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, and he wasn't a fool. This woman dressed like this and knocked on his door in the middle of the night. What could it be? Thinking back to the conversation in the kitchen this afternoon, he wanted to scold himself for being stupid.
Shang'er immediately stopped him. She nimbly avoided Ning Cheng's hand and entered the room. She didn't say anything. She just smiled sneakily. She couldn't stop laughing.
"Do you have any sense of shame?" Ning Cheng asked directly.
"You're already mine. Anyway, when my father comes out of seclusion, you'll have to marry me," Shang'er muttered.
"Are you married now?" Ning Cheng asked patiently.
"Sooner or later," Shang'er said again.
"Are you married now?" Ning Cheng asked again.
Shang'er was silent for a while before she muttered, "Not yet …"
Ning Cheng stepped aside. He pointed at the door and ordered, "Go back to sleep!"
Shang'er lowered her head and walked over obediently. But when she reached Ning Cheng's side, she suddenly turned around and hugged Ning Cheng. Like a shameless female hooligan, she said to him, "Ah Cheng, let's have a child first."
Ning Cheng didn't understand why he hadn't been angered to death by this woman until now. But even if he hadn't been angered to death, he was so angry that he didn't want to speak.
He even had to re-examine this woman. He had to re-examine just how casual and shameless she was.
Ning Cheng let Shang'er hug him. He didn't move or speak.
Shang'er didn't notice the disgust in his eyes. Seeing that he didn't resist, she thought that he had acquiesced. She was amused. Determination flashed across her eyes as she decisively undid his belt.
Just then, Ning Cheng said, "Shang'er, if you need a man so much, go out and find one. Don't disgust me, okay? Take it that I'm begging you. "
Shang'er's movements stopped abruptly.
She needed a man?
She needed a child, right?!
She had already planned it out. When her father went into seclusion for half a year, she and Ah Cheng would be done. When she appeared in front of her father with a big belly, her father would have no choice but to let her marry Ah Cheng. Moreover, for the sake of the family's reputation, they would have to help her hide the fact that she was pregnant before marriage. When the time came, they would definitely announce to the public that Ah Cheng was the son-in-law of the Shangguan family and that she and Ah Cheng were already married.
This was the simplest and most direct way to protect Ah Cheng.
She didn't care about the opinions of the elders and didn't care whether they were really married or not. Ah Cheng's indenture contract was in her hands. She was his, and everything else was just a formality.
Seeing Ning Cheng's angry look and hearing his insults, it would be a lie to say that Shang'er wasn't angry. Ever since she was young, she had been stubborn and bad-tempered. The more she was misunderstood, the more she didn't want to explain and the more she wanted to do "bad things".
"Ah Cheng!" She yelled.
Ning Cheng looked at her coldly. She immediately tore off the bow on her chest. The whole dress was instantly unbuttoned.
The spring scenery … was completely exposed!
