"So, in the end, it was Xue Du who proposed to you first?"

Inside the dress shop, Chi Xingyao took the fan handed to her by the clerk and posed a few times in front of the mirror. She turned around and looked at the boy who was still sitting there with a teasing look on her face: "Not very positive at all."

"If he didn't propose, it doesn't count." Shen Yinan was quite rigorous, "I have to do this first."

In this regard, Shen Yinan is very orderly.

"Okay, then when are you going to propose?" Chi Xingyao took another cheongsam and gestured in front of the mirror.

“I won’t tell you.” A smile flashed in Shen Yinan’s eyes, “I’m already preparing anyway.”

"Good, you have a little secret with me!"

She rushed over, pretending to be angry, shaking Shen Yinan's shoulders, trying to force him to submit.

However, Shen Yinan's mouth was too tight, and he couldn't pry out any information, so he had to give up.

At this time, a clerk brought a new cheongsam and asked her to try it on.

Chi Xingyao reached out and took it, gestured for a moment, and asked, "By the way, do you want to order some new clothes? My friend said the tailors here are very good."

New Year's Day is in two months, and the Chi family is going to hold a banquet. Chi Xingyao came to this restaurant after being introduced by a friend. She lined up half a month in advance, but it was her turn today.

Shen Yinan is not very interested in formal wear. There are only a few styles of men's formal wear, and he just needs to have a few to change into.

When the clerk was sorting clothes, he heard Chi Xingyao urging people to buy clothes, so he asked them if they wanted to see the clothes on the spot.

In order to facilitate customers' selection, models will wear the new styles for full display.

Before Shen Yinan had time to refuse, Chi Xingyao waved her hand with great interest: “Sure, call them all!”

Following the clerk into the special VIP lounge, Chi Xingyao leaned on the sofa and said, "Let's take a look. Everything in this store is Chinese style. You can wear it yourself and buy a few for your boyfriend."

Well...it seems like he rarely buys clothes for Xue Du.

Ana Shen was easily convinced by this reason, and took the pillow from the other party and sat down.

They didn't have to wait long, about ten minutes, before the clerk came in with a few male models.

"She's pretty good-looking." Chi Xingyao's gaze swept across the face of the model in the front, then she looked back a few times and suddenly stopped.

Shen Yinan also followed her gaze and looked back, and saw a person lowering his head shyly.

With that look, who else could it be but Nie Zai Xi?

I haven't seen you for just a few months, but you're here to be a fitting model.

“Can I humiliate him a few times?” Chi Xingyao leaned close to Shen Yinan’s ear and whispered.

“It’s better not to.” Shen Yinan said.

"Okay." Chi Xingyao was disappointed, but it was just a casual question.

After all, Nie Zaixi and they are from two different worlds.

Several models stood in a row. Nie Zaixi had been lowering his head. After raising his eyes, he finally saw the faces of Shen Yinan and Chi Xingyao clearly. His eyes instantly turned red, and his hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists.

But no matter how unwilling they are, the two parties have different identities here.

Shen Yinan looked carefully for a while and selected several suits and shirts that he thought were in line with Xue Du’s aura.

The clerk asked him to go to the room on the second floor to measure the size, and Chi Xingyao asked the models to disperse first.

Xue Du was not here, so it was inconvenient to measure the data, so Shen Yinan added the store clerk’s WeChat first, asked them for a tape measure, and gave the data after he finished measuring.

When I pushed the door open, I saw Chi Xingyao leaning on her chin, looking out of the window at the end of the second-floor corridor.

“What are you looking at?” Shen Yinan walked over and looked in the direction of her gaze, but only saw a path covered with shade trees.

"I think I saw my cousin coming out of the parking lot of the shopping mall in front." Chi Xingyao found it quite strange. "Is his company really making money? Hasn't he contacted you recently?"

Ana Shen shook his head: “He didn’t look for me, but a few days ago a girl sent me private photos of Ana Shen Zhongcheng in exchange for money.”

Shen Zhongcheng's private photos...

Chi Xingyao looked at him sympathetically: "Is this considered a work-related injury? Are you really paying?"

"Well, she's pregnant and wants to have an abortion. I asked someone to accompany her to the hospital. I have to pay for her medical expenses and nutrition expenses." Shen Yinan pinched his eyebrows.

He really didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, but he couldn't let these mistresses make trouble in front of Shen Hua. The old man couldn't stand this stimulation.

He also taught Shen Zhongcheng a lesson and put pressure on him to terminate several collaborations. Shen Zhongcheng was so angry that he ran to Hongyu to find someone, but was asked to leave by the security guard.

In fact, he could have gone even further, but at least in the few years that Shen Hua was still alive, he didn't want to make things too ugly.

As long as Shen Zhongcheng behaves himself, he won't kill him.

…

The autumn leaves fell, and in the blink of an eye, it was the winter solstice.

When Shen Yinan walked out of the building after get off work, Xue Du’s car was already waiting downstairs.

He opened the car door and got in, then leaned over and kissed Xue Du's cheek skillfully and naturally.

"I want this side too." Xue Du changed his face and let him kiss him.

Shen Yinan did as he was told.

The air conditioner in the car was at a comfortable temperature. Shen Yinan glanced at his watch and took off his scarf. "Let's go to the Shen family first. Grandma asked me to bring some gifts over."

Today is the winter solstice. Bai Xiuli took Shen Yuzhen back to her parents' home. There were only Shen Hua and him in the Shen family.

Qi Yuying was far away in Sanya, but she was also concerned about this matter and urged Xue Du to take people back to the old house to celebrate the New Year.

The two families were quite familiar with each other. Shen Hua had wanted to bring some gifts over in the evening, but Lu Zhi was too enthusiastic. He ran to the hospital early in the morning to wait and took the patient away as soon as the examination was completed.

Shen Hua had no choice but to ask Shen Yinan to go home after get off work to get the things.

"Let's make dumplings together at home tonight. How many do you want to eat?" Xue Du pinched the boy's face and asked.

“Well…it depends on how big the dumplings are.” Shen Yinan was very rigorous.

"Make it yourself, however big you want it."

"Then I'll make one as big as a bowl and eat just one."

Because these words were so cute, Xue Du successfully rewarded her with a kiss.

The two chatted all the way to Shen's house.

But as soon as I entered the front door, I found that the door to the living room was open.

From a distance, they saw a figure with his back to them, moving the things in his hands onto the cart parked across the door.

While moving, he was cursing something.

In the end, we stuffed a few more in and the trunk was almost full.

Just as he was about to close the car door, a bony hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.

The man was startled and turned around suddenly, meeting the boy's cold eyes.

Shen Yinan looked at him coldly, his tone was chilling:

"What are you doing?"
