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

Su Mian's pupils moved slightly, and her gaze slowly moved to the man sitting beside the bed.

Deep in Shen Zhou's eyes, there was undisguised concern and worry.

At this moment, Su Mian suddenly realized that her understanding of the man in front of her was so limited.

She couldn't even tell whether the love, care and kindness he showed were real or fake.

"Mr. Shen, you... must hate me very much."

Su Mian opened his lips with difficulty, but his voice was unusually hoarse.

When Shen Zhou heard this, he quickly reached out and held Su Mian's hand, his face full of worry: "Mian Mian, why do you think so? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital for a detailed examination right away."

Su Mian shook her head slightly to refuse: "I'm fine."

Shen Zhou frowned and asked with concern: "What happened? Is it because I didn't come last night? Are you unhappy? I'm really sorry, I was too busy yesterday..."

When Su Mian thought of the photo she saw last night, she couldn't help but feel endless disappointment in her heart.

She said in a self-deprecating tone, "You were busy accompanying your fiancée last night, right? After all, she is pregnant now and really needs more care and company."

When Shen Zhou heard this, confusion and puzzlement appeared on his face: "What fiancée? Who else is pregnant?"

His eyes were fixed on Su Mian, as if he wanted to find the answer from her eyes.

Su Mian stared at Shen Zhou quietly, with deep disappointment in her eyes.

Even at this point, Shen Zhou still pretended to be ignorant in front of her. How much hatred did he have for her that he was willing to sacrifice himself to be in cahoots with her?

Su Mian opened her lips slightly and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Yesterday, when Xiaoyu and I were shopping together, we met two people."

Shen Zhou frowned slightly and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's your aunt and Zhang Qiwen."

Su Mian's words struck Shen Zhou's heart like a heavy hammer.

Shen Zhou's face suddenly turned gloomy. He widened his eyes and asked nervously, "What did they say?"

Obviously, he realized that things might not be simple.

"Zhang Qiwen is pregnant!"

Su Mian said in a cold tone, her eyes full of pain and despair, as if she had been betrayed.

She felt that she had had enough of this deception and did not want to endure it any longer.

Shen Zhou's face turned gloomy. He looked at Su Mian and said in a low voice, "You don't believe me?"

Su Mian smiled, and there was endless bitterness in her smile.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

"Believe? The facts are right in front of me, how can I believe you? You were clearly with Zhang Qiwen last night, I know everything!"

After saying that, she turned around, not wanting to see Shen Zhou's heartbreaking face again.

Shen Zhou was silent for a moment, his hands clenched into fists, his heart filled with helplessness and pain.

He was indeed with Zhang Qiwen last night, but it was not what Su Mian thought.

Shen Zhou opened his mouth to explain, but before he could say anything, he saw Su Mian stand up and walk towards the bedroom door.

Seeing Su Mian about to leave the room, Shen Zhou quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Mian Mian, wait a moment."

Su Mian stopped but did not look back.

Her eyes were still cold, as if she had lost all trust in Shen Zhou.

Shen Zhou's heart felt like it was pricked by a needle.

He took a deep breath and explained, "Last night was indeed the old lady of the Zhang family's birthday. I went to attend the birthday banquet. Nothing happened between Zhang Qiwen and me. You must believe me."

Su Mian bit her lips tightly and still didn't speak.

She didn't know whether she should believe Shen Zhou's words. After all, all the previous signs showed that there was an unusual relationship between them.

But deep down, she hoped that this was all a misunderstanding. She still loved Shen Zhou and didn't want to give up this relationship easily.

Shen Zhou continued, "The reason why I didn't tell you these things is because I was afraid that you would have wild thoughts. After all, this matter is indeed a bit complicated. But in fact, my engagement with Zhang Qiwen has been cancelled long ago, and the child in her belly has nothing to do with me!"

Hearing this, Su Mian couldn't help but feel very surprised.

She had never expected that Shen Zhou would be willing to explain everything to her so patiently.

You know, if it was when he was with Shen Zhou before, based on Shen Zhou's temper, he would have slammed the door and walked out long ago, right?

At this moment, Su Mian's heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. She really didn't know whether she should believe what Shen Zhou said.

On the one hand, she wanted to trust him; but on the other hand, her past experiences made her doubt this relationship.

Shen Zhou noticed the struggle in Su Mian's eyes, so he reached out and held her hand, and whispered: "Mian Mian, you must believe me."

Su Mian tried to pull her hand back, but Shen Zhou held it tightly and refused to let go.

She had no choice but to lower her voice and say, "Mr. Shen, can you please let me go?"

However, Shen Zhou just shook his head to refuse.

He then said seriously: "No, no matter what, I hope we can be honest with each other and solve the problems between us through communication. I really don't want these things to affect our relationship. So, Mianmian, let's have a good talk, okay?"

Facing Shen Zhou's sincere request, Su Mian silently lowered his head and fell into silence...

Shen Zhou gazed at Su Mian deeply, and continued to say affectionately: "Mian Mian, you may never understand how deep my love for you is."

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing the softest corner of Su Mian's heart.

At this moment, Su Mian could no longer maintain his outward calm and indifference.

All her disguises collapsed in an instant, replaced by endless grievances and pain.

She raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were red, and her eyes revealed a heartbreaking fragility, but she still bit her lips stubbornly to prevent the tears from falling.

Shen Zhou seemed to sense Su Mian's mood changes. He stretched out his arms and hugged Su Mian tightly in his arms.

His voice was full of apology: "I'm sorry, Mianmian. From now on, no matter what happens, I will tell you without reservation."

Su Mian snuggled quietly in Shen Zhou's broad arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, which seemed to merge with her own heartbeat.

She couldn't help but ask, is this the proof of true love?

After a while, Su Mian murmured in a low voice: "Last night, I didn't sleep a wink..."

There was endless grievance in her words.

Shen Zhou gently stroked Su Mian's hair and comforted her softly: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

His eyes were full of self-blame and regret.

Su Mian's tears burst out like a dam breaking, and the grievance in her heart became more and more intense.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her voice was still a little trembling as she said, "I saw the photo you sent me last night."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhou let go of Su Mian, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He stared at Su Mian and asked in confusion, "What photo?"

Su Mian widened her watery eyes and looked at Shen Zhou in disbelief.

She originally thought Shen Zhou would admit it, but she didn't expect him to deny it outright.

"It's Zhang Qiwen's photo! You sent it to me and then immediately withdrew it, saying you sent it to the wrong person."

Su Mian explained eagerly.

A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Zhou's eyes. He shook his head and answered firmly: "I have never sent you a photo."

Su Mian was stunned. She couldn't understand why Shen Zhou would forget about this matter.

I clearly received the photos he sent me last night, but now he completely denied them.

She quickly took out her cell phone, flipped through last night's chat history, and handed the phone to Shen Zhou, with confusion and disappointment in her tone: "Look, did you send this?"

Shen Zhou took the phone and carefully checked the message on it.

Indeed, the chat history showed that there was a message from Shen Zhou at around nine o'clock last night.

However, Shen Zhou clearly remembered that he was toasting with his elders at that time and had no time or opportunity to send a message to Su Mian.

His brows furrowed even more tightly, and a feeling of confusion and uneasiness surged in his heart.

This sudden misunderstanding made him feel very helpless.

Shen Zhou said innocently, "I really didn't send it."

Su Mian responded decisively: "I have all the message records here. If you didn't send it to me, who else could log into your WeChat?"

Shen Zhou hurriedly explained: "I really didn't post it!"

After saying that, he quickly took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and found the chat history with Su Mian, but the result was shocking. On his phone, there were no two messages that were displayed on Su Mian's phone.

Su Mian was also very surprised when he saw this situation.

"Hey, how come it's gone? Did you delete it yourself?"

Su Mian questioned.

Shen Zhou quickly shook his head and denied it: "How is it possible? If it was really sent by me, why would I delete it?"

"Who sent it, then?"

Su Mian was talking to himself, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, he raised his head and stared straight at Shen Zhou.

"Have you ever lent your phone to anyone?"

Su Mian asked tentatively.

Shen Zhou pondered for a moment, and suddenly a memory flashed through his mind, and then he answered truthfully: "When we were having dinner together last night, Zhang Qiwen said that she couldn't find her phone, so she borrowed my phone to make a call."

At this point, Shen Zhou's face turned extremely ugly. He frowned and asked in confusion, "What on earth does Zhang Qiwen want to do? Why did he send you such a message?"

Su Mian looked at his expression as if she was looking at a fool, but she did not say what she was thinking.

She just calmly replied: "What else can you do? You just want us to have misunderstandings, quarrels and eventually break up."

When Shen Zhou heard this, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like torches, and he refuted firmly: "Impossible! We will never break up! This kind of thing will never happen!"

Su Mian couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise when she heard his firm words.

She stared at Shen Zhou's familiar and resolute face, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

Tears gradually blurred her vision, and crystal clear tears quietly slid down, gently falling on the ground drop by drop.

Every tear represented the emotions deep in her heart, gushing out like a flood breaking through a dam.

When Shen Zhou saw Su Mian crying, his heart was instantly in turmoil.

He had never seen her so sad and upset, and for a moment he was at a loss.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand and tried to wipe away the tears from her cheeks. Every subtle movement of Shen Zhou seemed so cautious and caring.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying out of grievance?"

Shen Zhou's voice was a little tense, revealing a barely perceptible nervousness.

He tried to comfort Su Mian in a relaxed tone, hoping to calm her excited emotions.

Su Mian sniffed lightly and turned her face to the side, as if she didn't want Shen Zhou to see her crying.

However, she was deeply moved. She knew that Shen Zhou's words were sincere, and the deep feelings between them were as solid as a rock and unbreakable.

“I’m not crying because I feel wronged.”

Su Mian murmured softly, with a slight tremor in his voice that he could hardly suppress.

"I am touched... You said that we can't break up, so does that mean I can be a little greedy and hope that we can always walk hand in hand?"

There was a kind of expectation and desire in her eyes, as if she was looking for answers from Shen Zhou.

Hearing these words, Shen Zhou felt a warm current in his heart.

He held Su Mian's hand tightly and squeezed it hard, as if he wanted to convey strength and confidence to her in this way.

His eyes were firm and affectionate, and he nodded solemnly in response to Su Mian.

"Of course, Mianmian. We will keep going together. No matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter, we will face them together. Because I love you and I never want to be separated from you."

Shen Zhou's voice was low and firm, as if it contained endless power.

Su Mian listened to Shen Zhou's oath, and the emotion in her heart surged like a tide.

Her slightly trembling hands gently rested on Shen Zhou's broad shoulders, feeling his warmth and solidity.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried to keep her voice calm: "Mr. Shen, let's make a deal. Don't break your promise this time, okay?"

Shen Zhou hugged Su Mian tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. He tightened his arms and whispered, "Mrs. Shen, I will never break my promise in the future."

This title instantly made Su Mian's cheeks flush with shyness. She protested coquettishly, "Who is your wife? Don't talk nonsense."

However, Shen Zhou smiled even more wantonly, with a doting light flashing in his eyes.

He deliberately teased Su Mian and whispered, "You already call me Mr., isn't it inappropriate for me not to call you Mrs.?"

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but the deep affection revealed in it could not be concealed.

Su Mian's face turned even redder, and she tried to push Shen Zhou away, but his embrace was as strong as steel.

She knew that the happiness at this moment was so real that she was willing to immerse herself in this sweetness and no longer escape.

Suddenly, Shen Zhou's cell phone rang, breaking this beauty.

Su Mian quickly broke free from Shen Zhou's arms and stood up straight: "You answer the phone, I'll go wash up."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the room.

Shen Zhou picked up the phone and looked at the note, his face darkened, but he finally answered the call.

"Hey."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiwen's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Shen Zhou, my stomach is uncomfortable, can you come and take me to the hospital?"
