Shen Changan crossed his arms across his chest and refused to take the money. Jiang Li gave it to him several times but he still refused.

“Shen Changan, this is your money, take it back quickly!”

"Jiang Li, are you stupid? That was the money I gave to Lai Erniang. It was a token of my love. Why should I ask you to return it to me?"

When Shen Changan asked this, Jiang Li felt that he was being unreasonable.

"You're here to help me, how can I ask you to pay and work hard?"

"I'm willing to do it. I have money. I want to do it. What can you do to me?"

Shen Changan's words sounded a bit provocative, but Jiang Li couldn't help laughing.

I didn’t expect that Shen Changan, who always had a serious face, would be so lively and funny.

He seemed to be acting unreasonably, but in fact he was helping her in disguise and was reluctant to let her spend money.

“Shen Changan, thank you.”

Jiang Li didn't know what to say, so he could only thank him again.

"Do we have to be so polite to each other all the time? We came to Northeast China together this time, so we have a revolutionary friendship, right?"

Jiang Li nodded, and Shen Changan continued speaking.

"Since we have a revolutionary friendship, you can't always treat me as Teacher Shen. You have to treat me as one of your own, as..."

Shen Changan spoke passionately, but soon got stuck because Jiang Li would definitely not be happy to hear what he was about to say next.

Jiang Li raised his head and looked at him in confusion, waiting for him to continue.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to say thank you to me from now on. Do you understand? I am happy to help you. I am willing to do so."

After Shen Changan said this, his face flushed with nervousness.

Jiang Li nodded bewilderedly. What happened to Shen Changan? Why was he suddenly so nice to her? Jiang Li felt a little overwhelmed.

The two went to the guesthouse first. Jiang Li was ready to ask for a room each, but Shen Changan was only willing to ask for one room.

"We are a couple, so we only need one room."

“Chen Changan, who is your husband and wife? Don’t talk nonsense!”

Jiang Li blushed and pushed him away. Shen Changan smiled and explained to the staff, "I had some conflicts with my wife a few days ago. She has always refused to admit that she is mine."

The staff smiled kindly and only booked one room for them.

Jiang Li refused to go back to the room, so Shen Changan dragged her in.

"Don't worry, we are here to do serious business. I won't take advantage of you. I am just worried about your safety."

Shen Changan repeated to Jiang Li what Chen Xisheng had said to him.

"But I've stayed in a guesthouse for a night before, and nothing happened."

"It's possible they didn't react at the time. It's better to be safe than sorry! Anyway, since I'm here, I have to protect your safety."

Shen Changan explained it clearly and what he said made sense. Jiang Li was not an ungrateful person, so she compromised quickly.

Jiang Li threw her bag on the bed and sat down, and Shen Changan followed and sat beside her.

There was a fist's distance between the two of them, a little intimate but not too close.

This distance was acceptable to Jiang Li. Although Shen Changan was a little dissatisfied, he didn't want to push too hard.

"Should we go to the police station and report the crime now, or should we first check the whereabouts of the traffickers in town?"

"Let me rest for 10 minutes, then we'll go to the police station to report the case and ask them if they have any information about the human traffickers."

After walking on the mountain road for more than an hour, Jiang Li was indeed feeling a little tired. She wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but Shen Changan was sitting next to her, and she was afraid that he had ill intentions, so she could only endure it.

Shen Changan stood up and took the initiative to sit at the desk on the side.

"If you're tired and want to lie down and rest, go ahead. I'll just sit here."

Jiang Li didn't bother to be polite with him. He just lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt.

Jiang Li originally wanted to lie down for a while, but unexpectedly fell asleep while lying there.

Shen Changan felt that the time was almost up, so he stood up and prepared to call her.

When he walked to the bed, he saw Jiang Li sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

"I asked you to chat so late last night. You must be tired now."

Shen Changan also slept very late last night and got up early today, but he was more able to bear it, but he still couldn't help yawning.

Shen Changan sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and looked at her carefully.

The little girl has smooth and delicate skin, with fine hairs on her face. She looks very cute. Her skin is as tender and smooth as those two babies.

With beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows and delicate facial features, it's no wonder that the two little guys look so good. It turns out that in addition to his own good genes, Jiang Li also contributed a lot.

Jiang Li is so beautiful. If she gives birth to a daughter, she will definitely be as beautiful as a little princess, right?

Shen Changan stared at her again and again, thinking silently in his heart that he was forced by such a good-looking little girl that night, and it didn’t seem too bad.

Fortunately, it wasn’t that woman. She was ugly and had a bad temper, and most importantly, she was so scheming.

Not to mention that his mother didn't like her, he himself had no feelings for her at all.

The little girl is pretty, with a fresh and refined look. Although she sometimes has a little temper, she is also a reasonable person.

She has educated her younger brother so well and raised her two children so well. She herself is still so young and has no experience. How can she be so capable?

My mother said that day that no woman of questionable character would be allowed into the Shen family.

But Jiang Li is so outstanding. If her mother can spend some time with her, she will definitely fall in love with her, right?

But how to make them get along without knowing it? This is a headache.

If he could solve this problem sooner, he would definitely be able to win the girl sooner.

Shen Changan couldn't help but hold her little hand. Her hands were different from the delicate and perfect ones of the girls in the provincial capital.

The skin on the back of the hand is a little dry, the palm is slightly rough, and there are some calluses under the fingers.

From these hands, we can tell that this is a girl who has been working since she was young, and she is also a hardworking girl.

Shen Changan rubbed her fingers gently, and he felt very lucky at this moment.

If it weren't for what happened that night, perhaps they would have been two strangers with no connection at all.

If he hadn't mustered up the courage to face his thoughts and come to Baiyun Town, he wouldn't have met Jiang Li.

They were originally from two different worlds, but they came together because of various things.

Then they entangled with each other and could no longer be separated.

Maybe Jiang Li can't accept him now, but as long as he treats her and the children sincerely, Shen Changan believes that it is only a matter of time.

Shen Changan even looked forward to the arrival of this day, when he could legitimately bring her and the children to the provincial capital and proudly introduce her to everyone as his daughter-in-law!
