"You mean the woman Ouyang Yu likes can even spot jade?" Father Shen said, suddenly enlightened. "No wonder there's been so much talk about the Jade Goddess, and Ouyang Jewelry is all trembling with excitement. So that's the story behind it." He looked down on Ouyang Yu even more, scoffing, "That old man from the Ouyang family is as cunning as a devil! You think he's a good guy, but he's just trying to get you to risk your life!"

Don't be fooled by the sweet words Old Master Ouyang says; he's actually the worst kind of person. Father Shen snorted and said to his beloved daughter, "Stay away from him from now on."

"Then why did you attend his birthday banquet?!" Shen Wangshu asked persistently.

Mr. Shen smiled wryly, wiped his forehead, and sighed, "I don't want to offend them too much, lest they say something unpleasant about you in the future."

Shen Shuya had put in a lot of effort for the Ouyang family in the past, and naturally there were some instances of her trying to curry favor with Ouyang Yu. For example, when she was busy with work, she would sometimes stay overnight at the Ouyang family's house. Although Shen Shuya was raised with strict discipline and hadn't done anything wrong, if the Ouyang family were to slander her, could the Shen family really go around telling each of them about their daughter's innocence?

Ouyang Yu's infidelity was indeed excessive, but Shen Wangshu almost crippled him, and he got involved with Xue Xuan right after the engagement was dissolved. If people knew about it, it would be criticized.

Maybe even promiscuous women will come out.

Therefore, Old Master Ouyang needs to put on a harmonious facade with Shen's father to escape the embarrassment of having their engagement broken off, and Shen's father also needs to use Old Master Ouyang's kindness to show that Shen Wangshu is not a fickle woman.

Shen Wangshu was young and only knew how to seek revenge. According to his father, he was still a bit too impulsive.

However, there's nothing wrong with girls having a strong back.

He explained everything to Shen Wangshu bit by bit, and seeing that she nodded despite her reluctance, he smiled and began to flatter Shen's mother.

Perhaps it was the unusual beauty of Shen's mother that stirred up different feelings in Shen's father. In the past few days, Shen Wangshu noticed that her mother looked exceptionally fair and radiant, while her father appeared somewhat listless, with dark circles under his eyes. Having been through similar experiences herself, she naturally knew the reason, but she didn't want to mock him. So, she had someone buy a lot of nourishing food to help this middle-aged couple, who seemed to be experiencing a second spring in their lives, to recover properly.

She devoted herself entirely to seclusion at home, not to designing jewelry to sell in Shen's Jewelry, but also to observing Shen's parents and taking care of Xue Xuan.

The young man hadn't slept well for several days, and there was a faint bluish tinge under his eyes.

Although Shen's parents' room was on the first floor, it was unfortunately right below Xue Xuan's room. With the window open, everything could be heard by Xue Xuan, and even if he covered his ears with a blanket, it wouldn't help.

Xue Xuan's face was stiff, but he refused to complain in front of Shen Wangshu.

Shen Wangshu couldn't bear to see him suffer, so she would often let him rest in her bedroom. In the warm, cozy room, she was busy working while he rested quietly. The sunlight was just right, warm and inviting, and Shen Wangshu felt a warmth spread through her body at the sight. Perhaps because Xue Xuan was by her side, her efficiency was astonishing; in less than half a month, she had delivered all the design drawings to the Shen family. She let out a joyful cry, jumped onto the bed where Xue Xuan was, and happily rolled around in his arms.

While holding her waist to prevent her from falling, Xue Xuan secretly touched her slender waist to take advantage of her.

"Won't it interfere with your business if you spend so much time with me every day?" Xue Xuan was a man who did great things. Shen Wangshu liked having him by her side and also liked the way he did things.

“Someone manages it.” What kind of business could Xue Xuan have? He had fought for territory in his early years, but now he was just a jewelry raw material merchant. Although he could shake the whole of Myanmar if he stomped his foot, Xue Xuan didn’t like to show off in front of Shen Wangshu. He wrapped his arms around her waist and asked her to lean against his chest before saying calmly, “I was willing to risk my life in my younger days. Now that I’m older, I just want to live a more peaceful life.”

Even if he leaves it alone, no one will dare to mess with him, and that's enough. He's been on the border all these years because he didn't know where else to go.

The reason for their wandering is simply that they have no home.

But now things are better; he has a family again.

His home is wherever his beloved is.

"So leisurely?" Shen Wangshu smiled as she lifted herself up from his chest and looked into his eyes.

"Even if I have plenty of free time, I won't let you manage Shen's Jewelry." Seeing Shen Wangshu's face betrayed, Xue Xuan couldn't help but lean over and kiss her. This time, he said with a smile, "I can assist you."

Shen Wangshu wasn't the kind of woman willing to hide behind a man, so he would support her and guide her forward. He wouldn't make the decisions; he would only offer advice and help her grow gradually. He knew Shen Wangshu had her own expectations for the future, because she had recently been reading management books in her spare time.

"Shen's Jewelry is yours, so you should manage it yourself," Xue Xuan said earnestly.

He had planned everything for himself. Shen Wangshu felt a bittersweet feeling in her heart and smiled brightly. Then she leaned against the young man's chest and listened to the strong, vibrant heartbeat within.

She would occasionally rub against Xue Xuan's chest; if it weren't for Shen's father risking his life scratching the wall outside the door, it wouldn't have been impossible for things to go wrong.

Because of this, Ah Xuan's gaze towards Shen's father became even more profound. Especially after Shen's father was about to take Shen Wangshu to attend Old Master Ouyang's birthday banquet, trying his best to give his beloved daughter, who was actually greatly weakened by the dissolution of the engagement, a brighter and better reputation, the silent young man stood in the shadows, watching Shen Wangshu, who was also listless and bored, wearing high-class and beautiful clothes, and seeing her revealing half of her snow-white back, he endured for a long time, but finally couldn't resist, picked up a snow-white shawl, and draped it over Shen Wangshu.
