Love You Till the End-Chapter 780 - 778: Sister-in-law, Your Relative Really Chose the Perfect Time to Visit
Shi Yu and Shi Mei went to a quiet place, each lit up a cigarette, and smoked silently. After finishing, Shi Yu threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe: "How much this year?"
Shi Mei pinched out his cigarette and chuckled lowly: "Sixty million."
Shi Yu gave a nonchalant hmm, no further words.
Shi Mei narrowed his eyes and asked leisurely: "And you?"
Shi Yu glanced sideways at him, not immediately answering his question, his slender fingers fiddled with an expensive lighter, his fingertips sliding back and forth over it.
Probably used to this kind of behavior from Shi Yu, Shi Mei just laughed softly, saying nothing more.
"Eighty million."
A few minutes passed before Shi Yu finally spoke, his voice low and magnetic, as if it could pluck at one’s heartstrings. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
His sexy thin lips slightly lifted, forming a smirk.
"Hmm, not bad," Shi Mei replied indifferently, then took out a cigarette from the pack and handed it over to him, seemingly recalling something, he cautioned: "Don’t tell grandpa about Keke smoking."
Shi Yu took the cigarette from his hand, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a drag, then looked up and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke, "If you want me to keep this secret, I can, but..."
He purposefully stopped mid-sentence, leaving Shi Mei with room to imagine.
Shi Mei stared at him furrowlessly and said, "Speak, what do you want?"
"Stop coveting my woman."
These words came out of Shi Yu’s mouth not as a discussion but more like a threat.
And his gaze seemed to say: You can keep bothering my woman, then I can also let your dear sister be subjected to family discipline.
Shi Yu understood Shi Mei very well; ever since they were young, there were hardly any women around him except for one who always follows him calling him "brother," that is Shi Keke.
This sibling bond, perhaps, exceeds any other sibling bond, but he didn’t realize it himself yet.
"Okay."
Shi Mei agreed readily, without even a moment’s hesitation.
Only after agreeing did he realize that his response was subconsciously made, meaning it was an answer without thought.
His eyes became deep and abyssal, unfathomable, showing no hint of his thoughts.
Afterward, the two talked for a while about the "birthday gift" topic; Shi Mei planned to give the old man a red envelope of sixty million, whereas Shi Yu had initially also planned for sixty million, and the earlier eighty million was just an offhand remark.
Eventually, both decided to give sixty million, and besides this cash gift, they were also to present a birthday gift. As for how and what to choose for the gift, they didn’t discuss; it was to be each other’s secret.
Shen Cheng and Shi Keke went to a small shop outside the castle, and along the way, Shen Cheng felt moisture below followed by a surge of warmth. This sensation occurred monthly, so she knew exactly what it was.
She slowed her pace and stopped, Shi Keke noticed her action and raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong, sister-in-law?"
"Aunt Flo is here... "
Shen Cheng furrowed her brow, a bit gloomy. Previously she thought the more punctual the period, the better, but now she felt postponing it by a few days would be better.
"Really arrived?" Shi Keke wanted to laugh, but she forcibly held it back, "In ancient times, they said Cao Cao and Cao Cao appeared, nowadays, they call Aunt and Aunt comes. Sister-in-law, your ’relative’ really has great timing."
