Shi Wan woke up again, this time roused by hunger.
She put on her shoes and went downstairs. Shen Siyan had just finished cooking.
"Come down and have dinner," the man, who had intended to go up and call her, waved at her.
Since this was just a temporary residence, there would be no one here except the hourly cleaner. Shi Wan had originally planned to hire an aunt to cook, but unexpectedly, Shen Siyan had come.
"What did you cook? It smells so good."
"Is it as good as you smell?"
Unexpectedly, he made a flirtatious remark. Shi Wan's cheeks blushed slightly. "Let's eat. I'm hungry."
The man chuckled softly and didn't tease her anymore.
"When do you plan to go back?"
"Tomorrow."
"Okay."
Shi Wan's eyes flickered slightly. "By the way, come out with me tonight. I'll introduce someone to you."
"Okay."
...
At the Zhou family's residence.
When Shen Siyan was about to step in, he hesitated for a moment. Looking at the person beside him, he took her hand and walked in resignedly.
"Wanwan, you're finally here," Mrs. Zhou stood up and walked towards her with a smile as soon as she saw her.
"This... You?"
Mrs. Zhou's eyes swept over the man beside Shi Wan, and she gasped, barely suppressing a scream.
Why was he here?
Moreover, it seemed that he had a close relationship with Shi Wan.
She stammered, "You..."
Shi Wan frowned. She didn't think Mrs. Zhou's attitude was towards her. They were like family, and such honorifics were not used.
So...
"Good evening, Mrs. Zhou. I'm Wanwan's husband, Shen Siyan."
Meeting the man's warning eyes, Mrs. Zhou suddenly came to her senses. She subconsciously glanced at Shi Wan and understood that he didn't want his identity to be revealed.
She said nervously, "So it's Young Master Shen. Please come in."
Then she said to Shi Wan, "Wanwan, you and Young Master Shen sit here first. I'll go and call your Uncle Zhou down. We must treat Young Master Shen well."
The last sentence was addressed to the servant.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
As soon as Mrs. Zhou left, Shi Wan looked at the man suspiciously.
Shen Siyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Really? Do you have any kindness towards this family?"
"Huh?"
"Otherwise, why are they so respectful to you?" He smiled lightly and played with her little hand boredly. "Even I'm treated like this. It's the first time I've encountered this. I thought I did something wrong."
"No, you did well. Actually, it's the Zhou family that has been kind to me."
Shi Wan's heart softened, and she was successfully distracted by him.
"My good girl is the best and always knows how to protect people," Shen Siyan said with a smile as he rubbed against her. In a place where she couldn't see, a cold glint flashed across his deep and narrow eyes.
Upstairs, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly pushed open the study door and grabbed Zhou Wei. "Husband, I... I saw..."
"Saw what?"
Zhou Wei put down his pen. It was the first time he had seen his wife so flustered.
What on earth could she have seen to make her like this?
"It's the one from yesterday!" Mrs. Zhou couldn't hide her excitement. "He's here, and he came with Wanwan. According to his introduction, he's Wanwan's husband!"
She had been too excited and forgotten about it just now.
"Really?!"
Zhou Wei was overjoyed. He didn't know why the man had left in a hurry after only a few minutes yesterday.
He had thought he would never have the chance to see him again, but unexpectedly, the man came to their house the next day.
Fortunately, they had seen the face under the mask before. If they accidentally offended him, it would be a disaster.
"Yes," Mrs. Zhou frowned. "Will a man like him just be playing around? And it seems that Wanwan doesn't know his identity."
This was the only thing she was worried about.
Zhou Wei thought for a moment. "Let's wait and see. We can't guess what that man is thinking. Let's go downstairs first."
The two of them went downstairs together. Shen Siyan also stopped teasing Shi Wan.
"Wanwan, Young Master Shen."
Zhou Wei took a closer look and recognized that it was indeed the man from yesterday.
So the legendary Mr. Si was actually Shen Siyan.
"Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou. Sorry to bother you," Shen Siyan said.
"No, no. It's an honor for you two to come..."
Before Zhou Wei could finish his sentence, he was immediately reminded by his wife and met with Shen Siyan's warning eyes.
He quickly reacted. "Wanwan has been like a part of our family for so many years. You don't need to be so polite."
It seemed that his wife was right. Shi Wan really didn't know about Mr. Si's identity, and Mr. Si didn't want it to be revealed either.
"Okay."
Shi Wan became more and more suspicious. Their attitude towards Shen Siyan was too respectful. It was as if they were afraid of him.
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou. Didn't you say yesterday that I got married? I brought him here today for you to meet. He's Shen Siyan, my husband," Shi Wan suppressed her doubts and introduced simply.
The simple introduction made the man beside her extremely happy. The smile on his face was obvious.
Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Wei looked at each other, both in disbelief.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's great."
They couldn't figure out what Shen Siyan was up to, so they could only go along with it.
The two of them stayed for dinner. After dinner, Shi Wan was pulled out for a walk by Mrs. Zhou.
Without Shi Wan by his side, Shen Siyan didn't bother to pretend anymore. He exuded a noble and lazy aura as he sat opposite Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei felt the pressure. Sure enough, only when Shi Wan was around would Shen Siyan restrain his aura.
"Mr. Si, I wonder about your relationship with Wanwan..."
"Arranged marriage by the families. Falling in love after marriage. We're in love with each other."
Zhou Wei: "..."
He felt like he was on top of the world.
This powerful man usually only questioned others. He never thought that one day he would be the one asking questions.
"So, Wanwan doesn't know your identity?"
"Yes," a trace of annoyance flashed across the man's eyes. "I'll tell her when the time is right."
"Yes, but I have to remind you that Wanwan hates being deceived the most."
Shen Siyan felt that the more he listened to Zhou Wei, the stronger his sense of crisis became.
Fortunately, at this moment, Mrs. Zhou brought Shi Wan back. However, besides the conversation between the two women, there was another male voice.
"Dad."
"Jingye? Why are you back?" Zhou Wei's voice was full of disdain. "I told you to come back yesterday, but you refused. You're back quite early today."
Zhou Jingye scratched his head and didn't dare to refute. If he had come back yesterday, he might have been forced to go on a blind date today.
If he hadn't heard that Shi Wan was back, he wouldn't have come back today either.
"Hurry up and come here," Zhou Wei said angrily. "Hurry up and come and meet someone."
He knew exactly what his son was thinking. But since Shi Wan was already married, the marriage matters of his two sons should also be put on the agenda.
Zhou Jingye looked like his father. He was very handsome, but there was always a lazy and charming air of unruliness about him.
He stepped forward and looked at Shen Siyan. "Hello, I'm Zhou Jingye."
"Shen Siyan."
As he spoke, Shen Siyan stood up and walked to Shi Wan's side, affectionately holding her hand.
A trace of interest flashed across Zhou Jingye's eyes. "Wanwan, this is the man you found? You should have told me earlier. Big Brother can introduce you to a few more men who are better than this... Ouch!"
Unexpectedly, he was knocked on the head by his father, and he also received a glare from his mother.
