I pinched my waist and petted him, and I was made to cry by the ruffian Third Master.

Originally, Jiang Gezhi planned to return home tonight, carefully select a restaurant with a beautiful environment, create a romantic and warm atmosphere, and then formally propose to Yu Sheng.

But at this moment, he suddenly couldn't suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

He wanted everyone present to understand clearly that the person standing next to him was his, Jiang Gezhi's wife.

Before Yu Sheng could open his mouth to respond, the air around them seemed to be ignited, and the enthusiasm of the crowd surged like a tide.

Cheers, screams and applause blended into one.

"Marry him! Marry him!"

The students watching the game around shouted in unison.

Yu Sheng was a little overwhelmed by the sudden lively scene, and her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.

Jiang Gezhi stood there, holding a sparkling ring in his hand, with a firm and gentle light in his eyes.

He looked at Yu Sheng, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Yu Sheng's nose suddenly felt a little sour, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion surged in his heart.

She stretched out her hand and said with a trembling voice, "Put it on me quickly."

Jiang Gezhi smiled and nodded, carefully took out the ring, and gently put it on Yu Sheng's ring finger.

At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped, leaving only the two of them and the ring shining with happiness.

At this moment, Jiang Gezhi suddenly stood up, pulled Yu Sheng into his arms, and kissed her.

The people around were also stunned by this sudden intimate behavior, and there was silence for a moment.

But soon, cheers and applause rang out again, even louder than before.

Yu Sheng felt her cheeks getting slightly hot, but she did not back down. Instead, she bravely responded to Jiang Gezhi's enthusiasm.

At this moment, Yu Sheng felt that he was happy.

On the way back, Yu Sheng's cheeks were still a little hot.

She lowered her head and looked at the ring on her ring finger, the smile in her eyes never faded.

Yu Sheng suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Gezhi, "Uncle San, give me your hand."

Jiang Gezhi cooperated by extending his hand, and the two of them interlocked their fingers.

Yu Sheng immediately took out his mobile phone, took a photo of his hand with the ring, and then posted it on his Moments.

As soon as the circle of friends was posted, there were a lot of congratulatory messages below.

When Yu Sheng was about to reply, Jiang Gezhi reached out and took her phone: "Don't look at your phone while riding in the car, it will make you dizzy."

"Let me see if Mianmian has replied to my message."

"Go home and see."

……

At night, Yu Sheng leaned on the bed and glanced at his phone, but still hadn't received a reply from Su Mian.

She couldn't help but frown. Why didn't he reply to the message for such a long time? Could something have happened?

Thinking of this, Yu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little worried and called Su Mian directly.

The ringing lasted for a long time, as if time had stopped.

Finally, a deep voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello?"

Yu Sheng hurriedly said: "Mianmian, it's me!"

However, before she finished her words, another strange yet familiar male voice entered her ears.

"She's cooking now."

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment. Why did Shen Zhou hold Su Mian's phone?

Yu Sheng asked in astonishment: "You...how come Mianmian's phone is with you?"

Shen Zhou said calmly: "She is cooking now, I will ask her to get back to you later."

Hearing this, Yu Sheng quickly said, "What do you mean by wait a minute? Give her the phone now."

Shen Zhou's joking voice came: "Xiao Yu'er, can you give me some time alone?"

As he spoke, Shen Zhou turned his head to look at the little woman in an apron who was cooking dinner for him in the kitchen. The corners of his mouth rose imperceptibly, revealing a faint smile.

He continued: "Okay, I'll ask her to call you back later, that's it." After saying that, without waiting for Yu Sheng's response, Shen Zhou decisively hung up the phone.

Yu Sheng listened blankly to the busy tone coming from his ears and was stunned.

Why is Su Mian together with Shen Zhou again?

Isn't Shen Zhou already engaged?

When Jiang Gezhi came out of the bathroom, he saw his young wife staring at her phone in a daze. He walked over, reached out and took her phone away, and said with concern: "What are you staring at? Go to sleep."

Yu Sheng came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Gezhi: "Uncle San, Shen Zhou is engaged to that Zhang Qiwen, right?"

Jiang Gezhi nodded in confusion: "Yeah, why are you talking about her all of a sudden? Did that woman contact you?"

Yu Sheng shook his head: "No, I just called Mian Mian and it was Shen Zhou who answered the phone."

Jiang Gezhi looked at his young wife helplessly, "And then?"

Yu Sheng said, "Shen Zhou is married, how can he get involved with Mian Mian? This is unfair to both girls."

Jiang Gezhi held the man in his arms and said softly, "Okay, don't worry about it. They are all adults and they know what they are doing."

"But……"

Yu Sheng wanted to say something else, but Jiang Gezhi interrupted him and said, "Besides, how do you know that your friend doesn't want to get back together with Shen Zhou?"

Yu Sheng said: "Reunited? But Shen Zhou is engaged."

Jiang Gezhi curled his lips and said, "Engagement is not marriage. Even if you get married, you can still get divorced. Okay, don't think too much. Just lie down and I'm going to read a bedtime story to the baby."

Before Yu Sheng could say something, Jiang Gezhi had already picked up the bedtime story beside him and began to read it aloud.

……

At that time, Su Mian didn't know that Yu Sheng called her. She walked out of the kitchen after preparing the sumptuous dinner she had carefully prepared, gently took off the apron around her waist and hung it neatly aside.

"Mr. Shen, dinner is ready."

Shen Zhou just glanced at the dishes on the table without showing much expression, but he still responded politely: "Sit down and eat together."

However, Su Mian shook his head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. I'd better go home and eat."

Hearing this, Shen Zhou's face darkened slightly, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Go back? Hasn't your father been sent to a nursing home? What are you going back for?"

Su Mian was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Zhou in astonishment, and asked in disbelief: "How...how do you know this?"

Su Mian had never told Shen Zhou about this matter.

How did Shen Zhou know?

Shen Zhou did not answer, but sat steadily at the dining table, raised his eyebrows slightly, and motioned Su Mian to sit down and eat together.

After a brief hesitation, Su Mian finally sat carefully opposite Shen Zhou.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was unusually quiet and solemn, with only the occasional crisp sound of chopsticks touching dishes.

Shen Zhou remained silent, and Su Mian was so nervous that he dared not even make a sound.

During this period, Su Mian thought that Shen Zhou asked her to come and be his nanny in order to deliberately humiliate her, but after preparing three meals for Shen Zhou, Shen Zhou would ask her to sit down and eat together. Even if Su Mian refused every time, it was useless.

Su Mian carefully observed the man sitting opposite her, and for a moment she didn't know what he wanted to do.

Just as she was thinking hard about how to find a suitable topic to ease the awkward atmosphere between them, suddenly, Shen Zhou's deep voice floated into her ears.

"How is your father now?"

Shen Zhou sat across from the dining table. When he spoke, his tone was still indifferent, but his deep eyes flashed with imperceptible concern.

Su Mian didn't expect him to ask this suddenly. The hand holding the chopsticks shook uncontrollably, and the food on the chopsticks fell onto the table.

Seeing this, Shen Zhou gently put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at the girl in front of him.

When Su Mian was looked at like this by him, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She let out a light breath, put the chopsticks in her hand aside, and forced a bitter smile on her face.

Her mouth opened.

"The situation...is not very good."

When Su Mian said this, her figure trembled a little, but she still tried her best to stay calm and not reveal too much emotion in front of Shen Zhou.

Because she knew that Shen Zhou now would not lower himself to comfort her just because he saw her fragility and helplessness. He would only mock and humiliate her.

But even though she told herself to stay calm, the tears in her eyes betrayed her helplessness.

She rubbed her eyes gently and said casually, "Sorry, there's a mosquito in my eye."

Shen Zhou didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Su Mian took a deep breath and continued, "I haven't had the courage to tell him about my brother. He has not been in good health, and I am really worried that he will not be able to bear such a heavy blow..."

At this point, her voice was choked with sobs and she could hardly continue. In just a few months, she had experienced the deaths of her mother and brother. If something happened to her father, she would really collapse.

Her only hope now is that Xu Ze can find clues as soon as possible, find out the truth, and find the murderer who killed her brother.

At the same time, she was secretly planning to call Xu Ze to find out the latest developments when she was about to leave Shen Zhou's villa after dinner.

However, in response to Su Mian's answer, Shen Zhou did not continue to ask questions, but silently took out a bank card from his pocket and slowly pushed it in front of Su Mian.

The card lay quietly on the dining table, as if carrying some unknown weight and meaning.

Su Mian's eyes widened and were fixed on the bank card in front of her.

Su Mian was a little confused about what Shen Zhou was doing?

"What does this card mean?" Su Mian muttered to himself, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Shen Zhou said calmly: "It's for you, take it."

Su Mian raised her head and looked at Shen Zhou. She couldn't help but feel confused and asked, "What are you doing for me?"

Shen Zhou seemed a little impatient, frowned and said: "Just take it if I give it to you, aren't you short of money?"

Hearing this, Su Mian's heart trembled violently.

She was indeed short of money, that was an undeniable fact.

However, she never thought that there would be a day when someone would take the initiative to hand her such a card, and this person was Shen Zhou who hated her the most.

Although Shen Zhou always spoke harshly to her these days, she could still sense a hint of kindness hidden behind his indifference.

However, facing this kindness, Su Mian really could not accept more help from Shen Zhou.

So, Su Mian gently shook his head and said softly: "No, Mr. Shen, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need the money."

Shen Zhou looked at her, his deep eyes flashing with complex light.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Mian continued, "I'm doing fine now. You pay me 20,000 yuan a month, which is good enough. There's no need to give me extra money."

As he spoke, he carefully pushed the card in front of Shen Zhou.

Shen Zhou glanced down at the bank card and said, "Your brother hasn't bought a grave yet, right? Then use this money to buy him a better grave."

Su Mian's hand trembled slightly, but he just lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Shen Zhou looked at her and added slowly: "Rest in peace, this is the best consolation for him."

Her eyes instantly became wet and tears welled up in them, but she clenched her teeth, trying hard to hold them back from falling.

She whispered in a low, hoarse voice, "Thank you."

Then he reached out his trembling hand and took the card.

Because he knew that his brother needed a resting place, however, the price of a cemetery was too high, far beyond Su Mian's financial ability.

She took a deep breath, calmed down and continued, "Mr. Shen, just think of it as a loan from you. When I have enough money in the future, I will definitely pay you back."

As she spoke, her fingers gently stroked the edge of the card, feeling the cold metal texture, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

Shen Zhou's eyes paused slightly, and then he responded calmly: "No need, there is a password on the card, take some time to check the balance, and tell me if it's not enough."

After saying that, he slowly stood up, put on his coat and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Su Mian hurriedly called out to him, "Have you...have you finished eating?"

Shen Zhou buttoned up his coat and replied, "Well, okay, I have to go out to do something. Remember to clean up here before leaving after you finish eating."

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the door, pushed it open without hesitation, and disappeared outside without looking back.

With Shen Zhou's departure, Su Mian seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped in his chair.

The nerves that had been tense just now were finally relaxed, and both the body and mind became extremely tired.

Her eyes slowly moved to the bowl that Shen Zhou had just used. She saw that the food inside was hardly touched. He seemed to have just taken a few bites casually.

Is it because the food cooked today doesn’t suit his taste?

Thinking of this, Su Mian suddenly felt a little lost.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the bank card in her hand. Suddenly, she felt the feeling that had disappeared in her body gradually reappear.

Su Mian carefully put away the bank card, finished the rest of the meal in silence, then stood up and started to clean up the kitchen.

Just at this moment, a clear and pleasant doorbell rang. Su Mian couldn't help but stop what he was doing, frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise surged in his heart.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Su Mian muttered to himself, a confused look on his face.

I thought Shen Zhou would come back very late tonight, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon.

Thinking of this, Su Mian quickly put down the dishes in her hands, wiped the water stains on her hands on her apron, and then walked quickly towards the entrance.

As she opened the door, she said, "Why are you so..."

There was a hint of coquettishness in her words, but before she could finish, the moment she saw someone coming to the door, her smile suddenly froze on her face.
