Shen Huaixu hugged her tightly, with such force that it seemed he wanted to pull her into his body.

He only came to his senses and let go of her after hearing her groan.

Nanzhi stroked his dark circles, her heart aching: "It's only been three years, how did you become so haggard?"

Shen Huaixu remained silent, simply gazing at her.

Nan Zhi sighed, "Actually, I thought about coming to find you, but I thought you were already with Nan Wan, and I didn't dare to disturb you..."

As she spoke, she began to cry again, feeling wronged.

Damn it, I didn't really want to cry, but maybe it's the postpartum hormones, I just can't control myself when I see him.

"I'm sorry, Shen Huaixu, I shouldn't have lied to you, please forgive me..."

"I don't like Nan Wan."

Nanzhi's tears stopped abruptly.

Shen Huaixu stroked her cheek and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

His eyes were filled with unprecedented tenderness and affection, and every word he uttered was brimming with love: "Nanzhi, I only love you."

The secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years was finally revealed to the world, and Shen Huaixu felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

He knew perfectly well that if he said these words, it would only make it easier for her to control him.

But he still wanted to gamble.

Let's gamble on her true feelings one more time.

Nanzhi was stunned.

At first, she mistakenly thought that his affection for her stemmed from his feelings for Mo Yu.

Later, I thought it was because he was obsessed with her body.

He liked Moyu 80% of the time.

Once you face her, at most fifty percent.

Although she has a cheat code that allows her to know a lot about him, she doesn't have an omniscient perspective.

She didn't know if he truly loved Nan Wan, nor did she know whether his feelings for her were more love or hate.

She was afraid to gamble and also afraid of dying, so she chose to fake her death and escape.

Now, I see the favorability rating has soared to 100%.

Nanzhi suddenly understood.

It was because he dared not, dared not, admit his love for her.

Just like she was unwilling, unwilling to admit that she had ever had feelings for him.

In her world, she always believed that love was the most useless thing, only causing sadness and disappointment.

But she was wrong; he was not like the people in real life.

She could no longer betray his deep love.

So let her indulge in his world quietly for a while.

She leaned close to his ear and said, "Shen Huaixu, I want to tell you a secret, please don't be angry, okay?"

“Okay, go ahead.” Shen Huaixu listened carefully to what she was saying.

"I was the same person you met in Mujia Village, Yongzhou two years ago."

As soon as he said it, he felt Shen Huaixu's body stiffen.

She vaguely heard the sound of teeth grinding.

"Didn't you promise me you wouldn't be angry?" She quickly patted his back. "I thought you suspected I wasn't dead and came to settle scores with me. I was scared, so I lied to you again."

The grinding sound has subsided a bit.

She played her trump card: "I was nine months pregnant at the time, and the child is yours."

The teeth grinding sound has stopped.

Shen Huaixu released her, his hawk-like eyes fixed on her, as if trying to confirm whether she was telling the truth or lying.

She raised her hand and sincerely swore: "I promise I didn't lie to you this time. If I did, may God beat me to a pulp!"

Nanzhi's mouth was gagged.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man who seemed to be losing control.

He bit her, seemingly rough and savage, but in reality, he was as gentle as water.

She vaguely thought of Xiao Lanchuan from the first world, who was the same way; every kiss from him could make her lose her mind and become infatuated.

Their love is so unwavering, how could anyone not be moved?

Why did Shen Huaixu lose control?

He remembered the solemn oath she had once sworn.

If I lie to you this time, may I die a horrible death.

Every day after her "death," he wished he could go back in time and shut her up.

Although the vow did not come true, she lied to him.

But he was also glad that she had lied to him.

He thought, let her lie if she wants to.

This time, without needing to swear an oath, she still couldn't escape his grasp.

After Nan Zhi was kissed until she was dizzy, Shen Huaixu finally let go of her.

Who is that man?

The sound in my ear was sour and unpleasant.

Nanzhi knew he was asking about Mu Ning.

"A suitor."

Shen Huaixu's aura noticeably subsided.

"Don't worry, I didn't agree to him. I clearly rejected him."

She lay in his arms and sighed, "There's nothing I can do, you're just too handsome. I've found that no other man can catch my eye."

Shen Huaixu snorted coldly. Although his expression didn't seem to change much, Nanzhi could clearly sense that he wasn't in such a bad mood anymore.

The blackening value dropped from 90% to 60%.

Why does she love hearing him praise her just like Xiao Lanchuan does?

Nanzhi continued to say nice things to coax people.

"The children all look like you. The eldest has your lips, the second has your nose, and the third has your eyes. They are as beautiful as you..."

"...Three Treasures?"

She said proudly, "Yes, am I amazing? I actually had three babies!"

Seeing the gentleness in her eyes and the love hidden in her tone, Shen Huaixu's hands seemed to obey his will and he embraced her.

He has children, three in total?!

He felt extremely agitated, and to distract himself, he casually asked, "How did the birthmark on my face get better?"

Nanzhi had no choice but to lie to him.

She couldn't very well tell him that the world he lived in was fake.

"Everything has been fine inexplicably since I left you."
