Chapter 332: 221 Second Master vs Jiang Chengsi, who is more shameless

The newly moved-into apartment, though chaotic and barely having space to walk, still felt warm with light.

Shen Zhixian wanted to get the bed sorted out first, so at least someone could sleep in it tonight, and only after the takeout arrived did she manage to tidy up the children’s bedrooms.

She had already informed the Jiang Family’s old lady that she would keep Jiangjiang overnight, and the old lady, eager for their families to grow closer, agreed immediately.

Previously, it was inconvenient for her to live in the Xie Family’s house, but now that she lived alone, it was much more convenient to have Jiangjiang over, which was one of the reasons she moved out. Parents always want to be close to their children, yet she couldn’t always bring Jiangjiang to the Xie Family.

"Fourth Master, I’m really sorry to have kept you busy all day, and now at night, I can only offer this for dinner." Shen Zhixian apologized with a face full of remorse—it was late, and all she could offer him was a boxed meal.

Jiang Chengsi merely smiled, "It’s alright."

They were family, after all, no need for such formalities.

"Then please eat more." Shen Zhixian said, pushing some of the meat dishes toward Jiang Chengsi. Throughout the meal, apart from taking care of the two children, she was paying attention to Jiang Chengsi and not really minding Jiang Yanting.

Dinner was over, and normally, this would be the time for guests to leave, but not only did Jiang Yanting not go, even Jiang Chengsi continued sitting on the couch playing with his phone, showing no signs of leaving. This left Shen Zhixian somewhat frustrated.

It wasn’t that she wanted to be ungrateful, but it was already around nine in the evening, and it was indeed time to rest. She also needed to bathe the kids and get them to bed early.

But these two living statues in the living room were causing her a headache.

She tried to hint to Jiang Chengsi, "Fourth Master, time really flies, doesn’t it? Look how late it’s gotten."

Meaning:

You should go home now.

Jiang Chengsi didn’t really want to go home, but more importantly, he wanted to see what kind of shenanigans someone would pull to stay the night. So, when Shen Zhixian inquired, he made up excuses.

"It is late, but I haven’t finished my game, no rush."

"Hey, Jiangjiang, I’ll play Ludo with you."

"Taotao, do you want Uncle to teach you how to play this Rubik’s Cube?"

Shen Zhixian was at her wit’s end. Why wouldn’t he leave?
