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

Su Mian opened her mouth, but before she could finish the words, her cell phone rang from her bag.

Su Mian took out his cell phone and was stunned when he saw the caller ID.

Shenzhou.

Why did he call himself?

Although Su Mian was a little confused, she did not answer the phone immediately.

He thought about how when he called Shen Zhou this morning, it was his soon-to-be-married fiancée who answered the phone, and Su Mian's heart suddenly surged with mixed emotions.

She held the phone, her finger hovering over the answer button, and was a little hesitant for a moment.

Father Su noticed his daughter's strange behavior. He looked at Su Mian in confusion and asked, "Mian Mian, your phone keeps ringing. Why don't you answer it? Is there something important?"

Su Mian lowered his head somewhat guiltily and said casually, "Dad, it's a harassing call, ignore it."

After saying that, she ignored the incessant ringing and let the phone hang up automatically.

However, what she never expected was that the phone rang again right after it was hung up.

Father Su frowned when he saw this, and said with a hint of reproach in his tone: "Mianmian, since they called so many times, they must have something urgent to talk to you about. Just answer the phone and see what's going on."

Seeing his father's attitude, Su Mian didn't know what to say, so he could only stand up helplessly and walk towards the balcony.

When Su Mian walked to the balcony, he took a deep breath, then gently pressed the answer button on the phone.

"Hey."

Almost at the same moment, Shen Zhou's voice came from the receiver.

"You called me this morning?"

Su Mian paused slightly, a complex emotion rising in his heart.

She responded softly without saying anything more.

Shen Zhou explained to her for the first time: "I was at the old house and didn't notice the phone ringing."

Su Mian still hummed lightly.

Shen Zhou felt annoyed when he heard Su Mian's cold attitude.

His tone also became unhappy: "Where are you now? Why are you not talking?"

Su Mian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and replied in a low voice: "Is there anything wrong? If not, I'll hang up."

Shen Zhou was somewhat displeased with her perfunctory attitude, and said coldly: "I will go home right now, have you bought the food for today?"

Hearing this, Su Mian couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I originally thought that his fiancée had returned to her country and he probably wouldn't have any contact with me anymore, so I could relax for a while.

However, at this moment, Shen Zhou did not seem to care about his fiancée.

Seeing that Su Mian hadn't replied for a long time, Shen Zhou couldn't help but raise his voice and said with a little dissatisfaction: "I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

Su Mian took a deep breath, then said calmly: "Mr. Shen, can I take a day off today?"

Shen Zhou on the other end of the phone paused when he heard this.

Su Mian thought he didn't hear her, so she spoke again, "Hey, Mr. Shen, did you hear what I just said?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhou's voice came through the microphone, with a hint of doubt and confusion: "Why do you want to take leave?"

Su Mian pursed her lips slightly and replied calmly: "I have some personal matters to take care of today. These matters are quite urgent and need me to handle them personally."

Su Mian didn't want to tell Shen Zhou the real reason, because she knew that Shen Zhou was not interested in her private life and would even humiliate her for it.

Shen Zhouxian continued to ask: "What personal matter is so urgent that you don't even have time to cook?"

Su Mian took a deep breath and replied softly, "I'm in the nursing home with my father today, so I can't get away. Sorry."

When Shen Zhou heard her cold and distant tone, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Whatever you say!" He hung up the phone without hesitation.

Su Mian stared at the disconnected phone in his hand, sighed helplessly, then put it away silently and walked into the room.

At this time, Father Su saw his daughter coming in and asked with concern: "Mianmian, aren't you going to work today?"

Su Mian was a little surprised to hear her father suddenly ask this. A few days ago, she just casually mentioned this about going to work, and she didn't expect her father would remember it.

Su Mian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "I will take a rest today and I will not go to work in the company."

Father Su responded with a smile on his face: "Okay, have a good rest. It would be even better if your brother could also rest today."

Hearing his father's words, Su Mian silently lowered his head and fell into a brief silence.

After having dinner with his father in the nursing home, Su Mian slowly got up and left.

When she stepped out of the gate of the sanatorium, she saw a black luxury car parked under the shade of a tree on the side of the road from afar, like a cheetah lurking in the night, waiting for its prey to appear.

Su Mian's steps suddenly paused, her eyes fixed on the car, and an inexplicable astonishment surged in her heart.

She was very familiar with this car; it was Shen Zhou's car.

But why did he suddenly appear here?

Various possible scenarios flashed through Su Mian's mind, but none of them could explain this sudden coincidence.

Shen Zhou, who was sitting in the car, looked through the window at Su Mian standing on the side of the road.

Her face was full of surprise and confusion, which made him feel a little dissatisfied.

He gently pressed the hazard lights, and Su Mian was brought back to reality by the light of the hazard lights. She took a deep breath and walked towards the front of the car.

As she approached, the passenger window slowly lowered, revealing Shen Zhou's cold and deep face.

He didn't say anything, but just said expressionlessly: "Get in the car."

Faced with Shen Zhou's request, Su Mian did not act immediately.

She stood there, staring at him in surprise: "Mr. Shen, why are you here so late?"

Su Mian asked the doubts in his heart.

According to common sense, he should stay at home with his fiancée at this time.

Shen Zhou did not explain, but just repeated his previous words.

Su Mian hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Su Mian fastened his seat belt, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a calm tone, "I heard that your fiancée is back?"

After asking, she secretly turned her head and glanced at Shen Zhou cautiously.

Shen Zhou didn't seem to expect her to ask this. He slowly turned his head and looked at Su Mian: "Who told you?"

Su Mian's heart suddenly tightened, but she tried to remain calm and said softly: "It's not important. What's important is why you came to see me? Does your fiancée know?"

Shen Zhou looked at her, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He was silent for a while, then sneered, "Don't worry, I've already reported it to her, she knows the situation."

Hearing this, Su Mian was stunned for a moment. For a moment, he didn't know what Shen Zhou and his fiancée were trying to do.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Zhou continued to mock her: "Why? Are you disappointed?"

Su Mian gripped the seat belt tightly, his fingers tightening involuntarily, trying his best to suppress the emotional fluctuations in his heart, and then answered calmly.

"Why should I be disappointed? I just want to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."

Shen Zhou looked at Su Mian and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of teasing that was neither a smile nor a laugh.

He asked softly, "What are you worried she might misunderstand?"

When Su Mian heard this question, her heart tightened. She bit her lips tightly, but in the end she didn't say a word.

When Shen Zhou saw her like this again, he immediately became angry. He suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched Su Mian's jaw hard, and forced her to raise her head and look into his eyes.

"Speak." Shen Zhou spoke with a cold face, and the strength in his hands unconsciously increased as he spoke.

Su Mian felt a sharp pain in her jaw from being pinched by him. She wanted to break free from Shen Zhou's restraints: "You, you let me go, you hurt me."

Shen Zhou looked at her as if she was trying to distance herself from him, and his anger grew even stronger.

He moved closer to Su Mian, and they were face to face and very close. Su Mian could feel Shen Zhou's breath on her face, and could also clearly see the fuzz on Shen Zhou's cheeks.

too close.

No.

Su Mian struggled to shrink back, but the space in the car was so small. Every inch she moved back, Shen Zhou moved closer, and finally he pushed her right up to the door.

Shen Zhou's tall figure loomed over her, and Su Mian huddled close to the car door.

She reached out carefully to open the car door, but it had been locked by Shen Zhou and could not be opened at all.

Su Mian panicked immediately, "Shen, Mr. Shen, please don't do anything rash. You are getting married soon, and you can't do anything to let your fiancée down."

This sentence seemed to wake up Shen Zhou, but he mercilessly shook her hand away and sneered coldly: "Just you? You are not worthy at all."

Su Mian couldn't help but relax.

She gasped and said, "Open the door, I want to get out."

Shen Zhou seemed not to hear it and started the car and drove onto the road.

When Su Mian saw this, she immediately panicked.

"Mr. Shen, where are you taking me?"

Shen Zhou sneered and did not answer, but asked: "What do you think, where will I take you?"

Su Mian's breathing stagnated, and she lowered her eyes and said nothing. Now she had no right to say no in front of Shen Zhou, but she still said with determination: "I want to go back."

Shen Zhou ignored her and continued driving his car.

More than ten minutes later, the vehicle stopped smoothly in front of the luxurious villa.

Su Mian looked surprised and asked in confusion, "What are I doing at your house?"

Shen Zhou's mouth showed a hint of sneer, and his tone was extremely cold: "Can you even forget what you should do?"

Faced with this sudden question, Su Mian was speechless. She refuted with a lack of confidence: "I have already asked for leave today."

Shen Zhou looked dissatisfied and said unhappily: "I didn't approve it!"

Before he finished speaking, he got out of the car on his own.

After getting off the car, Shen Zhou saw Su Mian still sitting in the passenger seat. He looked disdainful and said with a sneer, "What's the matter? Are you addicted to riding in a car? Are you reluctant to get off?"

Su Mian then slowly got out of the car.

Shen Zhou was immediately angry when he saw her unwilling look: "Are you so unwilling to cook when I asked you to?"

Hearing this, Su Mian whispered, "There's no food at home. Why don't you order some takeout today?"

Shen Zhou's face suddenly turned gloomy and ugly. "If I can order takeout, what use do I have for you? I pay you 20,000 yuan a month. Do you want me to take it for nothing?"

"But......"

Su Mian wanted to explain something, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted rudely by Shen Zhou: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and catch up!"

Helplessly, Su Mian had to follow Shen Zhou silently, and the two of them walked into the villa one after the other.

Su Mian stood in the living room, feeling a little helpless. She opened her mouth, wanting to tell Shen Zhou that she needed to go out to buy food, but before she could say anything, she heard a crisp doorbell ring.

Shen Zhou glanced at the door expressionlessly, then said slowly, "Go open the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned lazily on the sofa.

Su Mian responded softly with "Oh", then quickly walked to the entrance to open the door.

However, when she saw who was standing outside the door, she was slightly stunned.

It turned out that Shen Zhou had already placed an order in the supermarket via his mobile phone and purchased all the ingredients needed for today.

Su Mian took the full box of vegetables and fruits from the courier and carried it into the house.

Just as she was about to ask Shen Zhou what he wanted to eat, she found that he had his eyes closed and seemed to be taking a nap.

Seeing this, Su Mian didn't have the heart to wake him up, so she quietly turned around and walked into the kitchen and started to cook the dishes that Shen Zhou usually liked to eat.

After a busy period, the food was finally ready.

Su Mian walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish, but did not see Shen Zhou in the living room.

After a little thought, she decided to go to Shen Zhou's bedroom.

When Su Mian arrived at the bedroom door, he found it ajar, so he carefully pushed it open a crack and called softly, "Mr. Shen, lunch is ready."

However, no response came from the bedroom.

After a slight hesitation, Su Mian gently pushed open the door and stepped into the slightly dim bedroom.

The heavy curtains beside the floor-to-ceiling windows tightly block out the light from outside, making the whole room look gloomy and depressing.

At this moment, Shen Zhou was lying quietly on the bed, his back facing Su Mian.

Su Mian hesitated for a moment, then walked to the bedside and called softly, "Mr. Shen."

However, Shen Zhou just moved slightly and did not give any response.

Therefore, Su Mian had to raise her voice slightly and said: "Mr. Shen, it's time to eat..."

But before she could finish her words, suddenly, a hand grasped her wrist tightly like an iron clamp, and then a powerful force suddenly came and pulled her over fiercely.

In an instant, Su Mian fell defenselessly on Shen Zhou's body.

Faced with this sudden change, Su Mian widened his eyes in shock and his heart beat uncontrollably.

She struggled, pushing Shen Zhou's solid chest with both hands, trying to break free from his restraints: "Mr. Shen, please let me go! This is inappropriate!"

Her voice was filled with anxiety and fear, and the blush on her face became more obvious.

However, Shen Zhou seemed not to have heard her words. He hugged her tightly and said in a hoarse voice with a heavy nasal tone: "Don't move."

As he spoke, his breathing gently brushed Su Mian's ears, and Su Mian felt a little itchy.

She tilted her head slightly and spoke unnaturally: "Let me go, I, I'm not..."

However, before she finished her words, Shen Zhou interrupted her: "Let me hold you for a while, just one minute."
