Xia Nuannuan stood up immediately and said, “I’ll- I’ll see you out.”

As the both of them walked out of the apartment, she turned to him. “Mr. Shen—”

“We’re getting married, you should stop calling me Mr. Shen. I’ll call you Nuannuan from now on, and you can call me Zihao,” he said to her.

For a moment, she was stunned. She lowered her gaze and nodded. “Ok, Zihao.”

Zihao.

When she said his name, she made it sound as gentle as water.

The expression in his eyes darkened as he nodded.

He got into the car, started the engine and drove away.

As her gaze followed the car quickly disappearing into the distance, she had a certain sense of loss.

For some reason, she felt that this whole situation around the marriage was quite unreal.

As she contemplated this, his car suddenly turned around.

There was a look of surprise on her face as she saw Shen Zihao wind down his car window. He coughed and looked rather embarrassed as he said, “Erm… I’ve never been in love, and I don’t know what girls like. If there’s anything you want, just text me.”

Her eyes lit up and she nodded immediately.

He continued, “So, I’ll come and get you tomorrow.”

She nodded again.

In this moment, all her perplexity, lack of confidence and fear of these rich and powerful families disappeared at once.

She liked Shen Zihao and, if that was the case, what other apprehensions should she have?

After saying this to her, he nodded again and started the car engine.

Through the rear view mirror, he could see Xia Nuannuan standing at the door.

Her frail frame seemed so delicate and weak. All at once, he felt a compelling desire to protect her.

The corners of his mouth turned upwards into a barely visible smile as he cast his gaze downwards.

He was beginning to look forward to being married.

Xia Nuannuan stood outside the doorway for a long time, until his car disappeared from sight. Then she turned and walked into the house.

As she entered the living room, she heard Xia Yehua still pursuing the matter, “What were you guys doing? The car was parked outside for more than an hour. Why were you out there for so long?”

Qiao Lian: …

She grimaced. Actually, what was an hour?

If it hadn’t been for the security officer provoking Shen Liangchuan… even two hours wouldn’t have been enough.

But how could she say that to her mother-in-law?!

This was the ultimate embarrassment.

Hence, she threw Shen Liangchuan a look and protested, “Mom, it’s all because of Shen Liangchuan.”

She raised an eyebrow at him with the intention for him to continue with an explanation, since it was he who had gotten them into this.

Xia Yehua’s gaze shifted to Shen Liangchuan. “What was going on?”

Without batting an eye, he said, “Oh, an important call came in.”

Qiao Lian was made speechless by the man.

Xia Yehua shook her head and chided him, “You were already almost home. The next time you want to take a call, let Xiao Qiao come home first. She will get bored to tears if she has to wait for you for over an hour to take a business call.”

Shen Liangchuan: …

Qiao Lian: …

Then, clearing her throat, Qiao Lian quickly chimed in, “That’s right, you’re a grown adult. I can’t believe you need to be accompanied to make a phone call!”

Shen Liangchuan replied half-jokingly, “I need you to be around to take this call. How would it work otherwise?”

Qiao Lian bit her lip and immediately played along. “You have a pair of hands. You can pick up your own call, what do I have to do with it?”

He raised an eyebrow and questioned, “Then why did I get myself a wife?”

Listening to this, Xia Yehua was flabbergasted. What had a wife got to do with taking a call?

She felt that she simply did not understand young people nowadays anymore.
