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

His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a deep sense of fatigue.

Su Mian immediately calmed down after hearing this.

Shen Zhou looks so tired, is it because he didn't get enough rest last night?

For a moment, Su Mian forgot to struggle and just lay quietly on Shengzhou's body.

Suddenly, a shrill ringtone came from the bedside phone, like a thunder that broke the quiet atmosphere of the bedroom.

Shen Zhou was awakened by the sudden sound. His eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened. The moment his gaze met the girl in his arms, he instantly became clear-headed.

Shen Zhou couldn't help but curse under his breath, and quickly pushed Su Mian away.

The unexpected push threw Su Mian, who was caught off guard, makes him lose his balance. He staggers and eventually falls to the ground uncontrollably.

She fell to her knees and felt a piercing pain.

But at this moment, Su Mian no longer cared about his own injuries. He just looked at Shen Zhou in front of him with astonishment, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Shen Zhou slowly sat up from the bed, then slowly got out of bed and stood up.

He was wearing loose pajamas, but it still couldn't hide his tall and slender figure.

At this moment, Shen Zhou's face was gloomy, revealing a bit of dissatisfaction and indifference. His deep eyes were fixed on Su Mian who was sitting on the ground, and his eyes revealed an unspeakable indifference and alienation.

"What are you doing in my room?"

Shen Zhou's voice was low and extremely cold, and seemed to be mixed with a hint of impatience.

These words were like a sharp sword piercing Su Mian's heart, causing her to tremble all over.

Su Mian was stunned on the spot. She stared blankly at Shen Zhou's cold and indifferent eyes, and her heart was instantly filled with sudden panic.

But more of it is grievance.

Su Mian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, making himself look more relaxed, at least not looking so embarrassed in front of Shen Zhou.

Su Mian slowly propped himself up and began to explain softly.

"I wanted to invite you to have breakfast together... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to break into your room, I just called you a few times outside the door and got no response, so..."

However, before Su Mian could finish her words, Shen Zhou turned around resolutely and walked towards the door with firm steps.

Seeing this, Su Mian didn't care about anything else and hurriedly followed him out of the bedroom.

Shen Zhou sat silently at the dining table, his eyes slowly sweeping over the sumptuous meal on the table.

Every dish had his favorite flavor, but for some reason they were all served in two portions.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes fixed on Su Mian, who seemed a little uneasy beside him.

"Did you have meal?"

Shen Zhou's voice was as calm as water, not particularly gentle and kind, but it was much better than his cold attitude in the bedroom just now.

Su Mian couldn't understand his change of mood for a moment, and just nodded slightly, "Yeah, I ate it with my father in the nursing home."

Hearing this, Shen Zhou frowned slightly: "Since you have already eaten, why do you have to cook so many dishes?"

Su Mian looked at the dishes on the table and explained in a low voice: "I made enough for two meals. I thought I'd ask for leave for you tomorrow. You can still eat these dishes. When you're hungry at night, just heat them up a little... I'll..."

She originally wanted to say "I won't come over", but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Zhou.

"You let me eat leftovers? Don't you know that eating leftovers overnight will cause food poisoning? Or do you want to poison me?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Shen Zhou's tone.

Su Mian didn't expect that Shen Zhou would react so strongly when it was just a simple meal.

She hurriedly opened her mouth to explain: "No... It's not like that, you misunderstood, and these vegetables will not go bad if they are kept in a fresh-keeping container..."

However, under Shen Zhou's stern gaze, her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible, as if she was just mumbling to herself.

Facing Shen Zhou's impatience and indifference once again, Su Mian felt aggrieved. She lowered her head and apologized to him softly: "I'm... I'm sorry..."

After hearing Su Mian's apology, Shen Zhou didn't seem to have completely calmed down, but he didn't continue to scold her.

He frowned and said stiffly, "Sit down and eat! Remember, don't waste food!"

Su Mian nervously and cautiously sat down opposite Shen Zhou, lowered her head and began to eat in silence.

The entire dining process seemed exceptionally long and unusually quiet. Apart from the occasional slight clatter of cutlery, there was no other sound.

At this moment, Su Mian was feeling very uneasy and couldn't concentrate on enjoying the food at all. Fortunately, Shen Zhou didn't mock her.

After finishing the meal, Su Mian was about to get up to clean up the dishes on the table when Shen Zhou suddenly said out of nowhere: "I want to eat dumplings tomorrow."

His tone was calm, as if they were a loving couple who had lived together for many years and knew each other very well.

Hearing this, Su Mian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He raised his head a little dazedly, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes.

She looked straight at Shen Zhou, and it took her a long time to react. She nodded gently and replied in a low voice: "Okay."

Then, Shen Zhou slowly stood up from the chair and walked towards the room with graceful steps.

However, when he was halfway there, he stopped without warning, turned his head abruptly, and stared at Su Mian with his deep and sharp eyes.

Su Mian was startled by his sudden action, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.

She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Shen Zhou's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

He just turned around silently and walked into his bedroom without looking back, leaving Su Mian standing there alone, full of confusion.

Su Mian was left sitting alone in the empty restaurant, with ripples of emotions in her heart.

Su Mian looked in the direction of Shen Zhou's bedroom, thought about it, and decided to tell Sheng Zhou about Shen Minzhi.

After she cleaned up the kitchen, she walked towards Shen Zhou's bedroom.

When she arrived at the door, she stopped, took a deep breath, calmed her flustered mind, and called softly, "Mr. Shen..."

However, the room was silent, without any reaction.

Su Mian hesitated for a moment, stretched out his fingers and gently knocked on the door, and shouted with a slightly raised voice: "Mr. Shen!"

However, the house was still quiet and silent.

Su Mian couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: Did he fall asleep?

Just as she was wondering whether to continue calling Sheng Zhou, suddenly, the bedroom door slowly opened and Shen Zhou appeared in front of her.

He was naked from the waist up, with his body casually wrapped in just a bath towel. He stood at the door, staring at Su Mian with deep eyes.

"what's the matter?"

This sudden scene made Su Mian stand there in a daze. She covered her eyes unconsciously with her hands and stammered to apologize: "I'm... I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to disturb you..."

Su Mian didn't expect Shen Zhou to be taking a shower, and she didn't expect him to be standing naked in front of her, so her words were full of nervousness and embarrassment.

Shen Zhou stared at her slightly red earlobe, and his mood became more and more cheerful. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, slowly approached her, and teased with a smile: "What? Did you come here on purpose to seduce me?"

Hearing this, Su Mian's breathing suddenly choked and his body trembled involuntarily.

She quickly shook her head vigorously, her face full of fear and anxiety, fearing that Shen Zhou would have any misunderstandings.

When Shen Zhou saw this, his face suddenly darkened.

Su Mian's eyes flashed with panic, and he stammered as he explained, "No...it's not like that, Mr. Shen, please don't misunderstand me! I...I just have something important to tell you."

However, Shen Zhou's expression looked very ugly at this moment. He just stared at Su Mian without saying a word, as if waiting for her to continue.

Su Mian didn't dare to look him in the eye, and hurriedly looked away, whispering: "Well... I'd better go back first."

She really couldn't stand the sarcasm that Shen Zhou might say, and she even forgot what she originally wanted to tell him. She just wanted to escape from this place that made her feel so stressed as soon as possible.

So she turned around without hesitation and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Shen Zhou reacted quickly and caught up with him at great strides.

When Su Mian just walked to the door, she saw Shen Zhou stretched out his right hand and grabbed her wrist tightly.

Su Mian's body suddenly became extremely stiff, but she did not look up at Shen Zhou, but just whispered: "Mr. Shen, please let me go, I want to go home."

Shen Zhou stared at her closely, without moving, as if he wanted to see through her eyes into her innermost thoughts.

"Su Mian, you still have me in your heart, right?"

His voice had an irresistible power.

Hearing this, Su Mian's body trembled violently, and a barely perceptible panic flashed in his eyes.

She bit her lip and tried to keep her voice calm: "No, I haven't."

However, this answer seems so weak and pale.

Shen Zhou obviously didn't believe her. He sneered and asked, "Do you really not like me?"

Having said that, he pushed Su Mian against the wall at the entrance without hesitation and held her tightly in his strong arms.

Su Mian felt panicked and had no idea what Shen Zhou was trying to do.

She tried to push him away, but no matter how hard she tried, Shen Zhou stood there as steady as a mountain, not moving at all.

Su Mian's heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she shouted loudly: "Let me go! I want to go home!"

But Shen Zhou was not moved at all. Instead, he firmly grasped her small hand against his chest, looked directly into her eyes, and asked, "Is it so difficult to admit that you still like me?"

When Su Mian heard this, her heart ached and tears burst out like a dam breaking.

Shen Zhou clearly already has a fiancée, yet he still teases her like this!

As she thought about it, the endless grievance became more intense, as if it was going to swallow her up.

Through tearful eyes, Su Mian saw Shen Zhou stretch out a hand, as if trying to wipe the tears from her face.

However, she quickly turned her head away from his touch.

The hand hanging in the air stiffened slightly, but then Shen Zhou grabbed the back of Su Mian's head, turned her head forcefully, and then leaned over and kissed her without hesitation.

The sudden intimate behavior shocked Su Mian. She widened her eyes and looked at the man who was so close to her in disbelief.

The strange touch between her lips made her at a loss, and she was completely stunned.

What on earth is Shen Zhou doing?

He is obviously engaged to someone else and has a fiancée!

But now he is humiliating himself so unscrupulously!

Su Mian's heart was filled with grievance and resentment, but his body began to tremble slightly as if out of control.

She tried to push away the overbearing man with both hands, but the difference in strength was too great and all her efforts were in vain.

Su Mian was angry and anxious. She opened her mouth and bit Shen Zhou's lips hard. Shen Zhou took a breath in pain, but did not let her go.

Not only that, his big hands that were originally clasping Su Mian's head now tightly grasped her hair, forcing Su Mian to raise her head to endure this passionate kiss.

Shen Zhou's kiss became more intense and crazy, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into it.

His tongue tip squeezed in quickly like a snake, bringing with it a faint smell of blood.

Shen Zhou held her in his arms and kissed her silently and fiercely.

Su Mian tried to resist at first, but it was useless. In the end, she gave up and let Shen Zhou kiss her.

Every breath she took was filled with the scent of Shen Zhou. Su Mian's body softened unconsciously, and she subconsciously reached out to hug Shen Zhou's neck.

Just as the two were kissing each other with abandon, the entrance door opened. Zhang Qiwen stood at the door, staring in a daze at the two people kissing.

After she reacted, she opened her mouth and screamed.

Zhang Qiwen's voice startled the two of them, and Su Mian pushed Shengzhou away in panic.

Shen Zhou's eyes were as cold as ice, with a hint of displeasure flashing across them. He turned his head slightly and looked at Zhang Qiwen who suddenly appeared at the door with his extremely cold eyes.

His brows were furrowed, and his voice was filled with obvious impatience: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Qiwen then remembered the purpose of her visit and quickly said, "I called you, but you didn't answer. I thought something had happened, so I came to check on you. I didn't expect..."

Zhang Qiwen didn't say the rest.

An expression of shame and embarrassment instantly appeared on Su Mian's face. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Zhang Qiwen's eyes.

She explained in a panic: "Ms. Zhang, you misunderstood, we actually..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Zhou coldly: "Su Mian, aren't you going back? What are you still standing here for? Why don't you leave?"

Su Mian was so shocked by Shen Zhou's words that her breath was choked. She looked up at him.

She knew that Shen Zhou was trying to help her out, but his cold tone and attitude made her feel heartbroken.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then bowed deeply to Zhang Qiwen: "Miss Zhang, I'm really sorry that you misunderstood me. I'm leaving first."
