Chapter 664: 664
Xia Nuannuan stood up immediately and said, “I’ll- I’ll see you out . ”
As the both of them walked out of the apartment, she turned to him . “Mr . Shen—”
“We’re getting married, you should stop calling me Mr . Shen . I’ll call you Nuannuan from now on, and you can call me Zihao,” he said to her .
For a moment, she was stunned . She lowered her gaze and nodded . “Ok, Zihao . ”
Zihao .
When she said his name, she made it sound as gentle as water .
The expression in his eyes darkened as he nodded .
He got into the car, started the engine and drove away .
As her gaze followed the car quickly disappearing into the distance, she had a certain sense of loss .
For some reason, she felt that this whole situation around the marriage was quite unreal .
As she contemplated this, his car suddenly turned around .
There was a look of surprise on her face as she saw Shen Zihao wind down his car window . He coughed and looked rather embarrassed as he said, “Erm… I’ve never been in love, and I don’t know what girls like . If there’s anything you want, just text me . ”
Her eyes lit up and she nodded immediately .
He continued, “So, I’ll come and get you tomorrow . ”
She nodded again .
In this moment, all her perplexity, lack of confidence and fear of these rich and powerful families disappeared at once .
She liked Shen Zihao and, if that was the case, what other apprehensions should she have?
After saying this to her, he nodded again and started the car engine .
Through the rear view mirror, he could see Xia Nuannuan standing at the door .
Her frail frame seemed so delicate and weak . All at once, he felt a compelling desire to protect her .
The corners of his mouth turned upwards into a barely visible smile as he cast his gaze downwards .
He was beginning to look forward to being married .
–
Xia Nuannuan stood outside the doorway for a long time, until his car disappeared from sight . Then she turned and walked into the house .
As she entered the living room, she heard Xia Yehua still pursuing the matter, “What were you guys doing? The car was parked outside for more than an hour . Why were you out there for so long?”
Qiao Lian: …
She grimaced . Actually, what was an hour?
If it hadn’t been for the security officer provoking Shen Liangchuan… even two hours wouldn’t have been enough .
But how could she say that to her mother-in-law?!
This was the ultimate embarrassment .
Hence, she threw Shen Liangchuan a look and protested, “Mom, it’s all because of Shen Liangchuan . ”
She raised an eyebrow at him with the intention for him to continue with an explanation, since it was he who had gotten them into this .
Xia Yehua’s gaze shifted to Shen Liangchuan . “What was going on?”
Without batting an eye, he said, “Oh, an important call came in . ”
Qiao Lian was made speechless by the man .
Xia Yehua shook her head and chided him, “You were already almost home . The next time you want to take a call, let Xiao Qiao come home first . She will get bored to tears if she has to wait for you for over an hour to take a business call . ”
Shen Liangchuan: …
Qiao Lian: …
Then, clearing her throat, Qiao Lian quickly chimed in, “That’s right, you’re a grown adult . I can’t believe you need to be accompanied to make a phone call!”
Shen Liangchuan replied half-jokingly, “I need you to be around to take this call . How would it work otherwise?”
Qiao Lian bit her lip and immediately played along . “You have a pair of hands . You can pick up your own call, what do I have to do with it?”
He raised an eyebrow and questioned, “Then why did I get myself a wife?”
Listening to this, Xia Yehua was flabbergasted . What had a wife got to do with taking a call?
She felt that she simply did not understand young people nowadays anymore .
