Shen Ci Han suddenly looked at Wen Ning, and his eyes seemed to have some confusion and helplessness.

  "Wēn níng, kě bù néng bù yào fàng qì wǒ?"

  Translation: "Wen Ning, can you not give up on me?"

  Just now when she looked at him with that cold expression, he immediately surrendered and didn't know what to do anymore.

  Wen Ning raised an eyebrow. Shen Qingqiu had never used such a humble tone when speaking to anyone before, and she had never thought that he would lower himself to this extent for her sake.

  It's false to say there was no ripple at all, but it wasn't enough to shake her already desperate heart.

  "Give me back my phone."

  Shen Zihan seemed to have finally realized the most important contradiction between them.

  He had always wanted to keep her, but she most wanted was to leave him.

  Recalling her icy gaze just now, Shen Cihan let out a breath of air.

  He returned Wen Ning's phone and moved out of the bedroom to live in the guest room.

  …………

  There was no stifling surveillance like Shen's, and Wen Ning let out a breath of relief.

  As soon as he got his mobile phone, he immediately gave Qiao Muxia a call.

  "Lemon, you scared me to death. I couldn't get in touch with you and thought you were going to be like five years ago..."

  Wen Ning told Qiao Feng about Shen Ci Han's transformation and imprisonment.

  Qiao Miao Xia listened carefully on the other end of the phone and analyzed for her: "On the day you went missing, something big happened in the Shen family. Shen Si Han got half of the Shen family's property, and he also completely broke off his engagement with Jiang Yun Shu. There are rumors outside that Jiang Yun Shu was slept with by Shen Jun Hua, which made Shen Si Han very angry, so he registered to get married with another woman. The woman people are talking about outside should be you."

  Qiao Miao Xia continued: "Shen Ci Han is now at odds with Shen Jun Huan, and Jiang Yun Shu has always regarded you as a thorn in the eye. There are too many unsafe factors, so why don't you just stay at Shen Ci Han's place until the child is born before leaving?"

  Wen Ning had been out of touch with the outside world. After listening to Qiao Zhen's analysis and recalling Gu Beidi's advice, she began to think seriously.

  "Xia Xia, how's your work going? If possible, I'd still like to entrust Man Rou to you." Wen Ning asked about Qiao Miao Xia's recent situation.

  Qiao Miao Xia laughed on the other end of the phone, "I'm fine, I need to clear my name at Lu's, can't leave for now."

  Wen Ning didn't notice anything unusual, and the two of them chatted about some other things before ending the call.

  …………

  Shen Ci Han was in his guest room, having left Wen Ning, and he couldn't sleep at all.

  He perked up his ears and listened in the direction of the bedroom, but it was too far away, and he couldn't hear anything.

  Lying in bed, Shen Cihan was extremely nervous. From childhood to adulthood, he had taken countless exams and faced countless tests, but never once felt as tense as he did now.

  Wen Ning would definitely call Gu Beidi and have him come pick her up to leave.

  Can't hear any movement in the bedroom, Shen Sihan starts listening to the movements downstairs again.

  Two hours passed and there was no movement downstairs.

  Two hours is enough for Gu Bei to drive over, but he didn't come. Is Wen Ning thinking of leaving at dawn tomorrow?

  His mind was a jumble of thoughts, Shen Cihan tossed and turned on the bed, unknowingly until dawn. In a half-asleep state, he heard Wen Ning's voice coming from downstairs.

  Shen Shihan's nerves tensed up suddenly, and he crawled out of bed, standing under the window to look outside.

  "Rice ball, today's dawn is really beautiful, let's draw the dawn today."

  Wen Ning set up her easel, took out her palette, and began mixing colors.

  She wore a white long dress, with a grey woolen cardigan draped over her body, her long hair casually tied back, the newly born sunlight sprinkled on her, gently making it impossible to look away.

  Shen Ci Han couldn't help but burst out laughing, she didn't leave, she won't leave him again.

  …………

  The morning mist dispersed, and Wen Ni also finished a painting. The servant came to invite her to have a meal.

  Wen Ning washed her hands and sat down at the dinner table.

  Shen Shihan dressed neatly and went downstairs, sitting down across from her.

  Two people sat across from each other at a long table eating quietly, one didn't want to speak and the other dared not speak.

  When serving lemons, his line of sight naturally shifted upwards, and he caught a glimpse of Shen Shihan's tie on his chest. The color matched well with the suit, but... it was a bit crooked.

  Wen Ning served dishes six times, and four of those times she saw his tie, but Shen Que didn't notice at all.

  "I've finished eating, I'll go to the company first, you... if there's anything urgent, give me a call."

  Shen Shihan put down his chopsticks and walked reluctantly towards the gate.

  I don't know if she will still be here when he comes back this time.

  "Wait..." Wen Ning's voice suddenly rang out.

  Shen Zhan's footsteps paused, his heartstrings tightened suddenly.

  He mechanically turned around to face her, "What is it?"

  Wen Ning pushed open the chair and walked in front of him, reached out to untie his tie, and re-tied a standard one.

  "My tie is crooked."

  Shen Zihan was overjoyed, his mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but lean in to kiss her.

  "Alright."

  Wen Ning turned back to the table, but Shen Qingqiu didn't get close.

  But it didn't matter, she could take the initiative to help him with his tie, which was enough to make him happy for a whole day.

  …………

  After dinner, Wen Ning put away her painting board, sunbathed for a while, and then felt sleepy again, so she went back to take a nap.

  When she woke up again, it was already 10 o'clock. The maid knocked on the door and said, "Madam, someone from the jewelry store has arrived with a delivery. Please sign for it."

  Valuables, servants dare not take charge of them.

  "Got it."

  Wen Ning took a glance and saw that it was the pair of rings that Shen Shihan had taken her to see before, with the size adjusted and specially delivered.

  Wen Ning signed and took the thing back to the bedroom, casually pulled open the drawer of the dresser, wanting to put it in.

  But saw in the drawer a red marriage certificate lying there.

  She hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the marriage certificate again.

  The marriage certificate was opened, with a photo inserted inside.

  It's an enlarged version of the photo on their marriage certificate, the one where she and Shen Sihan are stuck together.

  Memories came flooding back like a burst dam.

  Two years ago——

  That day, Shen Cihan was on his way home from work when he received a phone call and was hit by a car that was driving in the opposite direction without following traffic rules, and was rushed to the hospital.

  He's fine, but the other person fainted.

  The other party is fully responsible, and Shen Zihhan was busy with company matters, so he directly handed over the matter to his assistant for handling.

  The next day, after working for a day, he got off work as usual and just sat in the driver's seat when someone knocked on the window glass.

  A pitiful little face was stuck to his window glass, with a small nose that had been flattened.

  Shen Shihan shook down the glass, and the woman's two hands were pressed against the car window, her chin resting on the window frame. "I've lost my memory, you have to take responsibility for me."

  Shen Shihan: What? What? What?

  "Who are you?"

  The woman's mouth drooped down, "I woke up in the hospital and didn't remember anything. The doctor said it was you who hit me! Now I only recognize you, are you going to take responsibility for me?"

  Shen Zihan saw through her 'impropriety', there were many women who went out to socialize and threw themselves into his arms, but he had never seen anyone as bold as her before.

  Shen Zhan Han looked at her face with interest, this face was somewhat endearing. "How do you want me to take responsibility?"

  "I'm so beautiful, I must be very smart too. Because of you, I've forgotten everything now. My whole life is ruined. You have to take responsibility for me till the end."

  "You must marry me!"
