Chapter 187: Chapter 187: A Chance Encounter with Su Tao

Nanzhi looked for a long time but still couldn’t make a decision. Finally, seeing her struggle, Shen Wenchen decided to let the three children play off to the side while he accompanied Nanzhi with her dress selection.

Nanzhi frowned upon seeing the robe dress that Shen Wenchen had picked out.

"Although this dress looks nice, the color...will it not suit me well?"

"There’s nothing wrong with it, you’ll definitely look good in it." Shen Wenchen affirmed as he gazed at Nanzhi, nodding his head confidently.

"Really? But now that I’m a mother, wouldn’t it look inappropriate if I wore such youthful colors?"

"No, it won’t."

Looking at Shen Wenchen’s confident expression, Nanzhi pursed her lips and took the robe dress into the room.

One adult and three children sat in the Main Hall drinking tea, waiting for Nanzhi to come out, while Shen Zhiyu walked up to his father.

"Father."

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Shen Zhiyu’s serious expression, Shen Wenchen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"You are not allowed to go see that woman!"

Shen Wenchen was taken aback. What woman?

Whom did he intend to visit?

How could he not know about it?

While the father and son stared at each other, the housekeeper noticed two more people entering the house from the doorway and quickly rushed over to welcome them.

"Miss Su? Please come in, please come in."

The housekeeper had a broad smile on his face. Miss Su was a big and important customer!

He was in high spirits, but upon remembering who was sitting in the house, the smile on his face froze instantly.

Damn, if these two ladies run into each other, isn’t General Shen going to blame him?

Before he could say anything more, Su Tao’s maid Xia He had already happily walked in, pointing at a blue robe dress and exclaiming, "Miss, you would definitely look good in this dress!"

"Really?" Su Tao, dressed in a long, peach-colored dress, lightly touched her red lips against her pearly white skin. Her enchanting eyes and charming voice attracted the attention of the housekeeper, causing him to be mesmerized.

Shen Wenchen, who was having tea in the Main Hall, was suddenly taken aback and furrowed his brow slightly.

Shen Zhiyu was annoyed that his father ignored him.

If his father still intends to meet that woman after his mother returns, he will disown his father!

Su Tao’s eyes lit up when she saw Shen Wenchen sitting inside the clothing store.

"General Shen, what a coincidence, you’re here too?"

Her voice held a melody that rivaled the sound of orioles, captivating the maids in the store who craned their necks for a better look.

Shen Wenchen, however, remained upright, ignoring her as if he hadn’t heard her.

Shen Zhiyu snorted coldly at her behavior and went on to climb onto Shen Wenchen’s lap, firmly planting his bottom there.

With his mother not around, he was going to help guard his father!

If his father paid attention to her, he was going to report it to his mother!

Seeing Shen Wenchen disregard her, Su Tao felt a little embarrassed and started to enquire from her digital assistant.

"System, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that my intimacy value has already reached 47? Why isn’t it working on Shen Wenchen?"

"Shen Wenchen has a particularly strong personal aura, and thus is naturally different from others. If it were that easy to win him over, why would you have made no progress in two years?"

Listening to her system’s slightly mocking tone, Su Tao’s face fell.

What does it mean that she has made no progress in two years?

Even if Shen Wenchen’s affection for her was only at 11 points, she was now the most influential woman in Yan City, with more than 30,000 points of luck value. She couldn’t believe that she still couldn’t manage this ordinary martial artist!

Just as she was about to initiate a conversation with Shen Wenchen once again, she heard Xia He’s voice.

"Miss! Look, this dress is so beautiful!"

Seeing the dress Nanzhi was wearing, Xia He gasped, pointing dramatically at Nanzhi.

Finding herself being pointed at as soon as she changed, Nanzhi was startled.

Seeing the young girl stretching out her hand to touch the robe dress she was wearing, Nanzhi instinctively sidestepped.

Could this young lady possibly have an issue?

As Xia He made her entrance, Su Tao was momentarily stunned and the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat. She vividly remembered seeing this woman when they were living in the small village.

Having thought that, Su Tao narrowed her eyes in suspicion, something was off.

This woman resembled the widow from the village, but only faintly, there were still discernible differences.

"Mother!"

Upon seeing Nanzhi appear, Shen Zhiyu’s eyes lit up instantly.

Mother looked so beautiful in this dress!

"Zhiyu." Nanzhi walked over from where Xia He was standing. Wanting to bend down and hug Zhiyu but recalling that the dress she was wearing belonged to the shop, she hesitated and then pulled back her hands.

"Does mother look beautiful in this dress?"

"Beautiful!"

"Beautiful!"

Lin Zihan and Lin Jian, the two brothers, also nodded in unison.

Nanzhi’s skin was naturally fair, and the canary yellow dress she wore made her look even more radiant.

This made her appear not 18 years of age, but rather 16.

"Beautiful."

The moment Nanzhi appeared, Shen Wenchen was captivated by her, his gaze fixed solely on her.

His peach blossom eyes were focused solely on her, his gaze insistent and passionate, making Nanzhi blush a little.

"So..so, do I look good?"

"Beautiful."

Shen Wenchen nodded in agreement.

He moved from Su Tao’s side to stand before Nanzhi.

"I knew you would look good in this gauze dress."

Shen Wenchen’s voice was filled with laughter and his eyes shone with something that only Nanzhi could discern.

"Alright, alright. I will go change."

Nanzhi blushed under his intense gaze and didn’t want to stand there in that dress being stared at. She turned around to go change her clothes.

"You look beautiful in this dress, keep wearing it."

Shen Wenchen held her hand, shook his head, and his lips curved into a slight smile.

Su Tao, standing on the side, noticing their clasped hands, felt her throat tighten.

Feeling of no use in staying there, she hurriedly walked away.

Xia He, who had been glad to hear Nanzhi’s decision to change her dress, upon seeing her lady leaving in a hurry, no longer cared about the dress and hastily followed.

Being insistent, Shen Wenchen finally got Nanzhi to continue out in the dress.

Knowing Nanzhi wasn’t comfortable, he asked the shopkeeper to wrap up some more common dresses.

Hearing that the cost of the dress she was wearing was two taels of silver, Nanzhi nearly choked on her saliva.

She looked at Shen Wenchen as if she had just seen a horrible monster.

Two taels of silver for a dress...

Shen Wenchen felt somewhat confused under Nanzhi’s gaze.

Su Tao, however, went straight to the Shen Family to find Shen Miaomiao.

Shen Miaomiao was now eighteen years old, and the marriage proposal had already been made when they first reached Yan City.

However, Aunt Guihua had put a halt to it.

Aunt Guihua wanted to find a suitable husband for Miaomiao, she did not want her daughter to marry into a family that lived far away.

She had already been slightly hesitant, but when she found out that the guy was going to work in the capital city, she outright refused their relations.

Shen Wenchen had already been a sixth-ranked General in Yan City, and if that man was promoted in the Capital City, his rank would undoubtedly be higher.

They were just a farming family, now a small merchant family in Yan City, if Miaomiao truly married into that family, she would probably be looked down upon by others.

She did not want her daughter to become a laughingstock of others.
