Chapter 20 Give Me a Little More Time
âAh Ting, Iâm going to take a bath. Wait for me outside. â Xue Chenkong caressed her fluffy little head, feeling very happy.
Shen Manting was dumbfounded. She bit her lip and walked away in a huff. âHmph, itâs impossible for me to be expecting something! âShen Manting covered her burning face in embarrassment as she recalled the moment when she lost herself.
In the bathroom, Xue Chenkong clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands popped up. He suddenly raised his hand and punched the wall. The sound of bones cracking came from his fist, and bright red blood flowed down the wall, but he seemed to feel no pain. After a short moment of losing his composure, he stood under the cold water pillar, his eyes red, and his tears mixed with the waterâ¦
âAh Ting, give me a little more time. I also want to dote on you⦠Iâm sorry!â
Shen Manting composed herself and waited for Xue Chenkong to come out. She looked at him, who was wrapped up tightly in his clothes. She thought he was cold, and she was even angrier than before. âLetâs go. Everyoneâs waiting for us.â
Xue Chenkong quickly followed. âAh Ting, slow down⦠Ah Tingâ¦â Shen Manting was confused. She wasnât going that fast. Did she have to drag him along?
In the end, the entire mansion was filled with Xue Chenkongâs shouts for Shen Mantingâ¦
The servants couldnât help but smile when they saw how the two of them acted. On the other hand, the seven brothers and the Shen familyâs parents were sitting in the living room, and the corners of their mouths twitched when they heard Xue Chenkongâs shouts. They couldnât help but mutter, âYouâre already an adult, but youâre still sticking to Ah Ting. Shameless!â
âHe did it on purpose. He even complained to Ah Ting that I bullied him!â
âHe must be condemned!â
The sixth brother, Shen Manzhou, was the best at whining. He hugged Shen Guangsiâs arm and egged him on, âDad, youâre his father-in-law. You should chide him!â
âAll of you, shut up! â Shen Guangsi had a headache, but he also felt that his sons were right. Why did that man only know how to stick to Shen Manting all day?
Presently, Shen Manting was pulled into the room by Xue Chenkong.
Shen Manting had heard her brothersâ conversation. She sneered and said, âBrothers, I have something to tell you. Letâs go to the study.â
âWhat for?â
âIf thereâs anything, letâs talk hereâ¦â
Everyoneâs heart skipped a beat and they looked at each other. Every time their little sister showed that expression, something must have happened! Although their younger sister was the youngest in the family, she was smart and domineering. Even their parents listened to her.
Finally, in the study on the second floor, Shen Manting sat on the couch and watched her seven brothers sit down one by one. Then, she sighed softly and uttered, âI know that you all donât like Chenkong, but Iâm already married to him. I have no intention of divorcing him. Heâs the person I want to live with for the rest of my life. I hope you wonât make fun of him.
âWe didnât!â The brothers were anxious.
The third brother, Shen Mancheng ppiped up, âAh Ting, if weâre talking about teasing, heâs the one whoâs been teasing us! You donât even know what heâs been doing behind our backs!
Shen Manxuan, the fourth brother, joined in, âLast month, he made me lose more than 10 million worth of funds!â
Meanwhile, the fifth brother, Shen Manheng, added, âHe even revealed that I had plans to get married. A few women then blocked my car and my door. I was so scared that I didnât go out for a few daysâ¦â
The sixth brother, Shen Manzhou, also complained, âAh Ting, you canât just listen to everything he says. Heâs a mean personâ¦â
The other brothers nodded in agreement. One was more angry than the other. Xue Chenkong had been comparing himself to them since he was young, but they were Shen Mantingâs blood-related brothers.
âI know that you donât like each other, but if anything were to happen to him in our house today, who would be responsible for it?â. Shen Manting asked helplessly. In order for them to live in peace, she had to change her way of doing things.
âThat⦠â Everyone stopped talking.
The Xue family was a symbol of authority in the capital. They had been an aristocratic family for a hundred years and were extremely wealthy. The Xue familyâs eldest son, Xue Chenzhan, was in charge of the entire financial circle. The second son, Xue Chenqian, was the CEO of Xue Corporation. With the two brothers joining hands, they indirectly controlled the economic lifeline of the capital. Anyone who wanted to do business would need to have a relationship with the Xue family.
âBut we didnât leave him in the pool. We just took off his pants⦠â The brothers looked depressed
âThatâs right. When we left, he was already wearing his clothes.â
Meanwhile, in the living room, Xue Chenkong looked at the study on the second floor uneasily.
Qi Yingfang held a plate of fruit and looked at her son-in-law, who had a look of restraint on his face. She smiled helplessly. âYou can go if you want to.â
Xue Chenkongâs face lit up with joy, but it turned dark in the next second. âCan I? Forget it. If I go over, Ah Ting will not be happy.â He knew that Shen Manting had left because she didnât want him to hear their conversation.
