Shi Wan: "..."
After holding back for a moment, she said, "Stop looking for trouble."
"Looking for trouble?" Shen Siyan gritted his teeth, looking extremely aggrieved. "It's clearly your fault, yet you tell me not to look for trouble?"
"What did I do wrong?" Shi Wan sat up. "What on earth has gotten into you?"
"Figure it out yourself."
Shi Wan: "..."
Help! Why does she feel like she's raised a son?
"Give me my phone back."
"No way."
Seeing the man's awkward look, she held back her laughter. "If you don't give it back to me, how can I find a way to appease you?"
The man paused. "Find a way to appease me?"
He looked down at the phone and sure enough, it showed "How to Appease an Angry Boyfriend?"
The anger in his heart vanished instantly, replaced by a blooming sense of joy.
He tossed the phone back to her and said haughtily, "You claim to appease me, yet even the title is wrong. Clearly, you're just trying to deceive me."
There was a smile in Shi Wan's eyes. "Got it."
All she needed to do was change "boyfriend" to "husband", right?
She lowered her head and started searching. However, the results she found made her blush uncontrollably.
What were these things?
"What? Blushing just from looking for a way?"
Shen Siyan, who had been watching from the side, leaned over. The unclosed page caught the man's eye.
His eyes instantly took on a strange glint, and his gaze towards her changed as well.
He was like a hungry wolf that had set its eyes on a delicious piece of meat, with a blazing fire surrounding her.
Shi Wan said somewhat uneasily, "The online advice isn't accurate. We'll see about it tomorrow. Let's go to sleep."
"But I think the online advice is quite accurate." He rolled over and pinned her down, whispering seductively, "Sweetheart, the online advice is quite reliable."
"Really? But it also says online that you don't need to appease him. Just leave him alone for a few days."
"......Of course, some of it can't be trusted."
"Like the one just now?"
Shen Siyan nodded. The big hand on her waist started to become a bit restless, slowly moving up from the bottom of her clothes. The slightly cool touch sent shivers down her spine.
His kisses were like magic, landing on her neck, cheeks... and finally on her lips. Eventually, he couldn't hold back and deepened the kiss.
The small sounds in the dim room were filled with ambiguity.
Just as he was about to take it a step further, Shi Wan suddenly came to her senses. "No!"
The man, who was on the verge of acting, almost choked. His red eyes stared at her reluctantly.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Why?"
"Your body..."
"I don't care!" With that, he tried to lean in and kiss her again.
She turned her head to the side, and his fiery kiss landed on her cheek. "You'll die."
"It's worth dying under the peony flower."
Shi Wan: "..."
Was he really not going to be satisfied until he got what he wanted?
She looked at him. Her silent gaze instantly made the man, who had been planning to take the next step, lose his courage.
"But I feel uncomfortable, sweetheart."
He buried his head in her neck. His voice was muffled, full of grievance.
Shi Wan was deliberately teased by him. She pinched his face. "Stop being naughty."
"But..."
"You haven't told me why you were angry today."
The man paused. "Want to know?"
She nodded.
"Who was that guy who was chatting and laughing with you after class?"
"Jealous?"
It wasn't that she was particularly perceptive. She had seen something related when she was searching just now.
Seeing that the man didn't say anything, she was even more certain.
"He just had something he needed my help with. I have no connection with him at all."
"Really?"
"Don't you trust me?"
"No." Shen Siyan's voice was muffled. "Sweetheart, do you think I'm old?"
There was a smile in Shi Wan's eyes. "How could I? My darling is the best. How could you be old? Those other guys aren't as mature as you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"That's good."
"So, what were you doing carrying the quilt over just now?"
A look of awkwardness flashed across the man's eyes. "If you didn't let me into the bed, I'd sleep on the floor. Anyway, I'd sleep right here."
"If there's something on your mind, don't keep it to yourself. Otherwise, the misunderstandings will grow, and the conflicts will become harder to resolve. Do you understand?"
"Okay."
"Go to sleep."
"Aren't you going to take care of me?"
"Although we can't do that kind of thing, you can take a cold shower. Just hold it in. We have class tomorrow. I'm going to rest first."
Shen Siyan: "..."
Forget it. After all, she was the one he married.
...
It was about one or two weeks after the exam, and the results were out.
Everyone in the group was speculating about who would be the first, but there were only one or two people doing so. In college, unlike in high school, people didn't pay as much attention to rankings. All they cared about was whether they would fail the exam.
Shi Wan wasn't interested in these things. She just went on with her own business.
Thinking that she would be going to Beijing the day after tomorrow, Shi Wan had been thinking about how to tell the man.
Moreover, if she wasn't around, the old man wouldn't dare to protect him too obviously.
"Sweetheart, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Siyan came out of the kitchen with a plate of food. She was already used to the food cooked by Shen Siyan. He would cook for her from time to time.
Seeing that Shi Wan was enjoying the food, he was happy too.
"I'm going to Beijing the day after tomorrow. You should behave yourself at home."
If necessary, she would find some people to protect him.
A flicker of light passed through Shen Siyan's eyes. "How long will you be gone?"
"I'm not sure. Anyway, I'll be back before school starts."
Shen Siyan: "..."
"Then you can go first."
"Okay."
Shi Wan gave him a strange look. Why was he being so agreeable today?
Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang. Her face changed slightly. "I have to leave today. You stay at home obediently. I'll find someone to protect you."
"It's okay." Shen Siyan waved at her. "Sweetheart, come here for a moment."
"What?"
"I want to kiss you."
She curled her lips and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
The man wrapped his arms around her, bent down, and enjoyed her initiative.
"Be careful. Call me if anything happens. And remember to miss me."
After a while, the man let her go. His thumb gently stroked her lips, and his eyes gradually became fiery.
Before she could answer, the man kissed her again.
His strong arms circled her in his embrace. She sat on his lap, and he kissed her again and again, seemingly never getting enough.
Even after he left, Shi Wan could still feel a tingling sensation on her lips.
A private jet slowly landed. Shi Wan didn't let Shen Siyan come. In front of outsiders, she put on her cold and aloof demeanor again.
"Ms. Shi."
The person who came bowed slightly and said respectfully.
It turned out that the person she had seen at school before was really their young Ms. Shi. She had thought it was just an illusion. After all, for that kind of competition, young Ms. Shi wouldn't waste her time participating.
"How's the company?"
"Everything is fine. But since you haven't been here for a long time, some of the company's cooperation projects are unsure whether they should continue."
"We'll talk about it after we get back."
"Yes."
...
After Shi Wan left, Shen Siyan didn't want to stay there either. He found an excuse and went out.
His destination: Beijing.
The headquarters of the Shengshi Financial Group was in Beijing, not in City T. It had been a long time since he had been back.
