Every question Shen Changan asked made it difficult for Jiang Li to answer, and she could only remain silent again.

Shen Changan waited for a long time but she didn't speak. As smart as he was, he naturally knew that Jiang Li was unwilling to answer this question.

"Okay, this is your private matter and I can't interfere. I won't ask any more questions. But next time you go to sell something, remember to disguise yourself and don't let anyone target you again."

"Or you can tell me and I'll go with you. Jiang Li, you're not just alone. You have a brother and a child, and me. We all need you, so please protect yourself."

Shen Changan gazed at Jiang Li affectionately. His magnetic voice seemed to carry an electric current. Jiang Li felt numb in his heart when he heard what he said.

“I will, Shen Changan, thank you for your concern.”

Jiang Li lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. Shen Changan took her hand and gently pinched the back of her hand.

Although Jiang Li has a calm personality, she is just a little girl after all and still needs someone to take good care of her.

Shen Changan thought so in his heart, and his eyes looked at her more softly.

Shen Changan didn't speak for a long time. Jiang Li raised his head and glanced at him secretly.

This glance happened to show Shen Changan's eyes full of tenderness. He had never been soft-hearted when dealing with bad guys, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was so gentle that tears were dripping from his eyes.

Jiang Li has never been in a relationship, but he has seen this kind of eyes in TV dramas.

This is the look of pity and love that the male protagonist has for the female protagonist, the look of someone who truly likes someone.

“Shen Changan, don’t look at me like that.”

Jiang Li's voice was weak, and it seemed like he was refusing, but in fact he was just shy.

Shen Changan has been single for more than 20 years. He has never had any close contact with the opposite sex and has no history of love. Although he is smart, he does not understand women's hearts.

When Jiang Li said this, he just thought she was rejecting him.

Shen Changan retracted his gaze, feeling a little lost.

"Go back. Is there anything you need at home? I'll buy it for you."

Shen Changan looked at Jiang Li carefully again. She was still wearing the patched blue khaki work clothes, and her hair was tied into two small braids. It was obviously the simplest and plainest outfit, but her little face was cute and beautiful, and the more he looked at her, the more beautiful she became.

But she still had too few new clothes. These loose and worn clothes not only did not keep her warm well, but also covered up her graceful figure.

"Winter is almost over and spring is coming soon. Such a beautiful girl can't do without a new dress. I'll take you to buy one in a few days."

"No, why would a country girl like me wear a skirt? These clothes and pants are more convenient for working."

Jiang Li patted the dirt off his body and his fingers accidentally scratched his sleeve. He felt a little cold before, but now he realized that a hole was torn in his sleeve when he pulled it just now.

The wind kept blowing in through the hole, no wonder she felt so cold.

Jiang Li hugged her arms embarrassedly, and Shen Changan noticed something was wrong from her little movements.

He pulled up her right arm and held it in front of his eyes, and immediately found the hole.

"Come on, follow me."

Shen Changan pulled Jiang Li's arm without saying anything and took her to the tailor shop in town.

"Chen Changan, it's getting dark. If I don't go back soon, my uncle and brother will be worried. I've been out for a long time, and the children are hungry. I should go back and feed them."

Jiang Li clearly refused. Shen Changan, who usually obeyed her, broke with her usual habit and insisted on his own ideas.

Jiang Li was taken to a tailor shop to have his size measured. Nowadays, most clothes are custom-made and there are very few ready-made clothes.

"What kind of fabric do you like?"

Shen Changan took her to see the fabric again. Jiang Li wanted to refuse, but Shen Changan immediately waved his hand and said.

"Don't reject me. If you don't choose me, then choose yourself."

Jiang Li had no choice but to pick a few patterns. Most of the ones she liked were light-colored fabrics with some small flowers.

Shen Changan remembered Jiang Li's preferences and had an idea of ​​what they were like.

It was already dark when they left the tailor's shop.

Jiang Li walked in front with her arms folded. Shen Changan looked at the hurried crowd and quickly caught up with them, forcibly holding her hand on the grounds that there were too many people and he was afraid of getting separated.

The slender and cold little hand was wrapped in his big hand. Shen Changan's palm radiated heat, and Jiang Li's hand quickly became warm.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Shen Changan stuffed her hands into his coat pockets and suddenly stretched out his hands to block her neck.

Jiang Li had never had such close contact with a man before, and Shen Changan's behavior made her feel strange and uncomfortable.

Jiang Li shrugged lightly and tried to break free from his hand, but Shen Changan held her shoulders with his palms, preventing her from leaving.

"It's cold in the mountains at night, let me keep you warm."

Shen Changan turned his head and stared at his cotton-padded jacket for a while, thinking to himself, when other men pursue women, don’t they give their cotton-padded jackets to women for fear that they will be cold?

Why is it that when it comes to Shen Changan, he has to hug her shoulders?

Seeing her staring at his cotton-padded jacket, Shen Changan quickly unbuttoned it and pulled Jiang Li into his arms.

"My cotton-padded jacket is very big, and yours is very small. How about we wear the same cotton-padded jacket?"

Shen Changan must have misunderstood what she meant, and Jiang Li's face turned red again.

She took advantage of Shen Changan's inattention and ran to the front quickly.

"You put it on yourself. I'm not cold."

Jiang Li started jogging. Shen Changan was stunned at first, then quickly caught up with her.

This time he didn't do anything rash. The two of them ran one after the other and soon returned to the village.

Jiang Li was about to go home, and Shen Changan followed her shamelessly. Jiang Li turned around and gave him a look. Shen Changan didn't bother to be polite with her, but just touched his belly and smiled shyly at her.

"Xiao Li, I haven't had dinner yet."

Jiang Li turned his head away from him, apparently agreeing to his following.

Shen Changan walked in with a smile. His uncle was busy in the kitchen, and Jiang Yi was busy taking care of the children.

Zhang Guocai heard the sound of the door opening and quickly poked his head out of the kitchen. When he saw Jiang Li, a smile appeared on his face, but when he saw Shen Changan, his face immediately frowned.

"Jiang Li, you must be exhausted after coming back so late. Why did you bring someone back with you? My uncle didn't cook for him. You can handle it yourself."

Jiang Li felt helpless when he saw his uncle's double-standard attitude. Shen Changan felt embarrassed at first, but now he is used to it.

My uncle just can't stand the fact that he has a wife and children at such a young age.

After all, my uncle hasn't had one yet. Seeing how outstanding he is, it's normal for my uncle to have some opinions about him.

"Sister, you are finally back. These little ones are crying so hard. They can't do without you."

Jiang Yi was so exhausted from trying to coax the kids that he collapsed. When Jiang Li came back, he quickly brought out his two little nephews and immediately put the second one into his sister's arms.
