Chapter 237 - 91: Encouraging Zhou Jiawen to Drive, Learning Various Skills

They had originally planned to just buy dessert and leave, but since it was still early before dinner, they ended up doing a little more shopping.

After having Xu Shijie put their things in the trunk, Jiang Li sent Shen Yanzhi a message telling him she was back.

Back in the banquet hall, many people had left, but there were still several tables of mahjong and a few tables of pool.

The moment the two of them returned, Shen Yuchu immediately rushed over with a fawning expression. "Honey, are you tired from being out? Let me give you a shoulder rub."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow at Zhou Jiawen and mouthed teasingly, "Not bad~"

Zhou Jiawen’s face flushed red, and she slapped Shen Yuchu’s hand away. "What are you doing? Who asked you for a shoulder rub!"

Shen Yuchu scratched his head in confusion. ’This isn’t quite how I expected this to go.’

In the end, he had to ask Jiang Li, who was enjoying the show from the sidelines, for help. "Sister-in-law, help me think of something."

Jiang Li refused without a shred of mercy. "You have to coax your own wife."

Besides, Zhou Jiawen wasn’t really angry anymore. The only reason she wasn’t giving Shen Yuchu a break was because of Jiang Li’s teasing.

Not only did she refuse, but she also shot back a question, "Where’s your brother?"

Shen Yuchu clicked his tongue. "He’s probably still at the hospital with Auntie."

Jiang Li nodded. "Alright, then you two should talk things out." After speaking, she pointed to a nearby sofa. "I’m going to go sit over there for a bit."

She hadn’t felt it while shopping, but now that she was back, her back and legs were sore, and all she wanted to do was collapse.

But she had barely sat down when Shen Yanzhi, who was supposed to be at the hospital, appeared beside her.

He sat down without hesitation, pulling Jiang Li into his arms and toying with her fingers. "How are you? Tired? Is your body holding up?"

Like a limp noodle, Jiang Li melted into Shen Yanzhi’s embrace. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said coaxingly, "I’m okay. My back and legs are just sore."

Shen Yanzhi frowned slightly. "Then let me rub them for you."

He released his hold on Jiang Li, placed her legs on his own, and began to gently massage her calves.

At first, Jiang Li thought Shen Yanzhi was just rubbing them randomly, but then she realized he seemed to be pressing on acupressure points. The soreness in her legs immediately eased, and she asked in surprise, "When did you learn to do this?"

’It’s just that we’ve been stuck together like glue this whole time, and I never saw him learning how to massage.’

Shen Yanzhi replied, "I learned it online after you got pregnant."

The corner of Jiang Li’s mouth twitched. "Don’t tell me you learned it while I was sleeping?"

Shen Yanzhi let out a soft "Mm," and Jiang Li’s heart warmed.

’I have to say, this man is truly responsible.’

’Even back when I didn’t know I liked him, he was still willing to put in so much effort for me.’

Jiang Li released her hands and poked Shen Yanzhi’s cheek. "Shen Yanzhi, why are you so good to me!"

Shen Yanzhi chuckled. "It’s only because it’s you that I’m good."

If it had been anyone else but Jiang Li, he wouldn’t have been nice at all.

"Double standards."

Although she said that, her eyes were filled with a smile, clearly satisfied with Shen Yanzhi’s answer.

He massaged her for a good while. It wasn’t until Zhou Jiawen and Shen Yuchu appeared, holding hands, that Jiang Li patted Shen Yanzhi’s arm. "Quick, put my legs down. Your brother and Wenwen are here."

Shen Yanzhi raised an eyebrow but still lowered Jiang Li’s legs.

Shen Yuchu rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Big Bro, I didn’t just see that wrong, did I?"

Shen Yanzhi looked up, his expression grim. "What, do I need to get you a pair of reading glasses at your young age?"

Shen Yuchu gave an awkward laugh and waved his hands. "That won’t be necessary!"

’It was just so unexpected.’

’No wonder Zhou Jiawen got angry. I really can’t compare to Shen Yanzhi.’

’Looks like I’ll have to get some pointers from Shen Yanzhi when I have time to improve my relationship with her.’

’Otherwise, if we keep arguing like this, even the most loving couple would be driven apart.’

At five o’clock sharp, the host took the stage and first tested the microphone. "Testing, testing~"

Then, he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen who are playing cards, playing pool, playing games, or just resting, please find your seats in an orderly fashion. Dinner is about to be served."

The moment his voice fell, waiters immediately came into the banquet hall with serving carts and began to bring out the dishes.

Shen Yanzhi was the first to stand up. "Let’s go. Time to eat."

He then extended a hand to Jiang Li. She placed her hand in his and used his strength to stand up, leaving Shen Yuchu dumbfounded.

They were still sitting at the same table as Jing Shiyun and the others, only now there were a few business partners at the table as well.

As soon as she sat down, someone immediately walked over carrying a cup of tea and holding a phone. "President Jiang, I was wondering if I might have the honor of adding you as a contact?"
