Xia Nuannuan suddenly quietened down and her fists relaxed.

She walked to her wardrobe and opened her suitcase.

The room was in a bit of a mess because the butler had searched through it.

But he had left Shen Zihao’s belongings untouched, he had not dared make a mess of his things.

On the other hand, her belongings had been strewn all over the place.

Xia Nuannuan felt a deep sorrow and gloom in her heart, as though something was weighing heavily on it, making it hard for her to breathe.

She bit her lip and bent over. Slowly, she folded her clothes and put them into the suitcase.

She wasn’t from a rich family. Hence, even after getting married and moving in, there wasn’t much to take with her.

She put the strewn clothes into her suitcase.

Then she turned around and reached for her other clothes.

At this point, Shen Zihao grabbed her wrist. She looked up towards Shen Zihao. He said to her, “I’ve already protected you. What else do you want?”

Already protected her.

Indeed.

By saying that the money was his.

That was protecting her.

But what she wanted was not only protection, there was also trust.

She clenched her fists tightly and looked at him again, suddenly asking, “Zihao, why did you marry me?”

Why?

Shen Zihao was taken aback by the question.

He could not find an immediate answer.

He felt happy whenever he saw her.

Whenever he was unhappy about something, he would calm down when he saw her.

He was comfortable when he was with her.

And also because she was pregnant. Hence, they had gotten married.

Xia Nuannuan continued looking at him and said, “Perhaps you married me because of the baby. But I married you because I liked you.”

“From the start, I knew that our marriage wasn’t balanced. The statuses of our families do not match. My family isn’t wealthy, but we are not so poor that I’d steal money.”

“Zihao, you don’t understand me. What I want is not this sort of marriage.”

With red eyes, she looked at Shen Zihao steadily.

“What sort of person am I to you?”

“Right now, you think that you’ve protected me. Yes, you protected me, but everyone could see that you were trying to protect me. Do you feel that I can continue staying in this house? The way the housekeepers were looking at me… They were thinking, ‘look at that thief!’”

She laughed bitterly and continued, “So I can no longer live in this house.”

After placing all her clothes in the suitcase, she zipped it.

Seeing that she was heading outside, Shen Zihao panicked and ran up to her. “Nuannuan, what are you doing? I’ve already said that the matter has passed! They won’t dare to talk about you behind your back.”

Xia Nuannuan halted at these words.

Turning back to face him, she said, “That’s right. You also know that they don’t dare. It’s not that they won’t.”

“I’ll tell you one more time, I did not take the money.”

Frowning, Shen Zihao asked, “If you didn’t take it, how did it end up in your suitcase?!”

Xia Nuannuan froze when she heard this. She smiled bitterly and said, “That’s right. I didn’t take it, so how did it end up in my suitcase? I suddenly feel that this home is really terrifying.”

She clenched her fists and continued, “Let’s part ways. I don’t wish for my child to be born into this sort of family.”

She did not want her child to have a grandmother who schemed against him, or a father who didn’t trust him, or a grandfather who knew no better.
