Shi Nian: "Regardless of whether you and she have romantic feelings for each other, as long as you have a relationship with her, I will feel uncomfortable."

Anyway, she didn't like Ye Chen. Whether Ye Chen and Qiu Sheng were just friends or boyfriend and girlfriend, it didn't matter to her. She felt disgusted by either of them.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, his heart skipped a beat, and a hint of excitement ignited in his eyes.

"Does Niannian not want me to have female friends? So you're... jealous?"

Shi Nian closed her eyes and said coldly, "If thinking this way will make your uncle happy, then think that way."

Ye Chen: "..."

Why is Niannian so cold to him?

But... Nian Nian's aloof demeanor is also quite charming.

No wonder she's his girlfriend!

He looked at Shi Nian's profile with a smile, becoming happier the more he looked.

Seeing that he wasn't causing any trouble, Shi Nian ignored him, assuming he would go back to his room on his own after a while.

However, Ye Chen remained silent as he watched her.

After making sure she was asleep, I quietly climbed into bed and, like a thief, carefully pulled her into my arms...

…

The next day, when Shi Nian woke up, she felt as if she were being pressed under a mountain, unable to move her entire body.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a shameless man holding her in his arms with both hands and feet.

Shi Nian's face darkened instantly. She pushed him away forcefully and then kicked him off the bed.

"Bang!"

Ye Chen's tall body crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

At the same time, he woke up...

"Is it an earthquake? Nian Nian, run!"

He wasn't fully awake yet. The sudden tremor made him subconsciously think it was an earthquake. He then instinctively got up, quickly picked up Shi Nian, and ran outside.

Shi Nian: "..."

She slapped him across the face and asked coldly, "Are you awake now?"

Shi Nian's slap woke Ye Chen up.

He paused for a few seconds, looked down at the unharmed girl in his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He hugged her tightly, his voice slightly hoarse, "Niannian, I just dreamt that we were on a mountaintop, and suddenly the earth shook, and you accidentally fell off. Luckily, you're alright..."

"What did you dream about us doing on the mountaintop?" Shi Nian squinted.

"I dreamt that we were on a mountaintop..."

Shi Nian slapped him again.

Ye Chen swiftly freed one hand to grab her wrist, his gaze resentful, "Niannian, you can't be so domineering and unreasonable..."

"So, it's my fault?" Shi Nian asked with a half-smile.

“It’s not entirely your fault, but you also bear some responsibility, after all, we’re a couple now.” He said with a serious expression.

Shi Nian sneered.

"Put me down. I'll settle the score with you later for sneaking into my room last night!"

Ye Chen looked innocent, but he still obediently carried her back to the bedside and put her back on the bed.

Then, as if it were a parting of life and death, they left, turning back every few steps.

…

After washing up and going downstairs, Shi Nian found Qiu Sheng in the living room.

Upon seeing Shi Nian, she immediately stood up. "Miss Shi, may I call you Nian Nian like the young man? I think Nian Nian sounds nice and friendly..."

"No." Shi Nian glanced at her and turned to walk towards the restaurant.

"Niannian, how could you do this? Let's be friends, okay... Ah..."

Qiu Sheng tried to reach out and grab Shi Nian, but as soon as her hand touched Shi Nian, she was forcefully shaken off.

Qiu Sheng fell directly to the ground, then looked sadly and painfully at Ye Chen, who had just come down from upstairs...
