Shen Subai's heart, which had been floating since the morning, sank to the bottom in an instant, and the smile that had never stopped also disappeared.

He thought about the last time when Xie Yunshu got very angry after he found out that he was the one who spread the rumors in the project department, and refused to say a word to him. Whenever he thought about that experience, he would panic.

But this was not what he feared the most. What he feared the most was that Xie Yunshu would also think that he and Haozi were really...

If she thought about that a little bit, he would never be able to hold his head up in front of his wife for the rest of his life...

"If you don't tell the truth, think about the consequences." Xie Yunshu crossed his arms and said coldly: "Chen Subai, don't tell me it's what I think!"

Of course, she didn't believe that Shen Subai and Tian Hao were hooking up, but after Su Qinglian said this, she finally realized that something was wrong with the whole thing.

She thought she didn't have such great charm. She was a second-time single parent with no achievements. She only had a pretty face. Any normal mother would definitely not like her at first impression.

But Aunt Lian was different. She was too enthusiastic when she first saw me. She even suspected that it was my mother-in-law who fell in love with me at first sight...

Shen Subai was too cunning, and he was definitely hiding things from her.

"It's not what you think." An unprecedented crack appeared on Shen Subai's usually calm face. He usually doesn't talk much, but he is definitely not bad at speaking.

Now I can’t even find an excuse!

He didn't think much of it when he did it, but he had to tell Xie Yunshu about his thoughts and say that Su Qinglian had always misunderstood that he and Tian Hao had an improper relationship...

It’s hard to say…

Xie Yunshu raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Not like that?"

For the first time, Shen Subai's handsome face turned red: "Yun Shu, let's go to another place to talk. We can't park here for a long time."

He needed time to organize his words and explain the matter thoroughly. It didn't matter if he had to be shameless or not, the key was not to let her feel that he was not straight in that aspect.

As the car drove forward, Shen Subai hesitated and said, "I have a friend who knows a decoration company and can introduce it to you."

Xie Yunshu was silent for a while: "Are you changing the subject?"

Shen Subai stopped talking. He held the steering wheel with both hands and looked forward: "No."

"You're lying!" Xie Yunshu snorted decisively, "There's nothing to do here, but let's make it clear, right? I can't get married when we're engaged and you still have so many secrets. I won't get the marriage certificate with you."

The car stopped, and Shen Subai's brain was working fast, but it stopped the moment she said she didn't want to get the marriage certificate with him.

"I deliberately let my mother misunderstand." Shen Subai's face was calm and indifferent, as if he was really just explaining to her, but he gripped the steering wheel tighter: "Tian Hao and I are friends, I definitely don't have that kind of hobby."

He didn't dare to look at Xie Yunshu's expression, but his Adam's apple rolled twice and added: "Xie Yunshu, don't think about it that way."

Don't think about it, he and Tian Hao...

Xie Yunshu's eyes widened little by little, and a picture inevitably flashed in his mind: "You and Tian Hao..."

"No! It's not! It's just my mother's misunderstanding." Shen Subai emphasized again: "It's all a misunderstanding."

Xie Yunshu didn't say anything. She turned her head to look at Shen Subai's profile, her eyes moving from his forehead to his chin, a feeling she had never felt before.

The gap between them was as big as that between heaven and earth, so she had been retreating.

But while she kept retreating, he kept moving forward, step by step, from nothing to nothing.

And she never knew this.

Shen Subai noticed her gaze and became even more panicked: "Yun Shu, I just can't think of a better way."

He wanted to say, don't hate me just because I'm not pure enough. He also wanted to say that he didn't do anything to get her, he just didn't want her to suffer any additional harm.

It has been played in the movies that love is difficult but can be smooth. They are not a good match and have to face many inevitable doubts. Many times, it takes two people to face them unwaveringly in order to keep going.

But he didn't want to.

He didn't want her to bear these external injuries, even if they came from his family's doubts.

But at this moment, he didn't say anything, but continued to apologize to her quietly: "I'm sorry, I'm not as good as you think, but you..."

He was not the upright, honest and bright Shen Dui in her mind.

"But I like you so much."

Xie Yunshu interrupted him, unbuckled her seat belt, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, then looked at him with her beautiful eyes: "Chen Subai, you are better than I thought, so good that I want to get married with you now."

She has a straightforward personality. Although she is not delicate in terms of emotions, such a long time is enough for her to figure out one thing, that is, Shen Subai has always been protecting her, even though she looks so fierce and strong from the outside.

But in his eyes, he felt that she was more fragile because of her strength. If she was a weed with tenacious vitality, then he would be the big tree above her head dedicated to protecting her from wind and rain.

The man's back was straight, and after she finished speaking, ripples and huge waves appeared in his eyes, like ice melting into spring water inch by inch.

He paused for breath and spoke in a hoarse voice: "What did you say?"

Xie Yunshu felt his tension and uneasiness, kissed the corner of his mouth again to comfort him, and repeated his words: "I said I want to marry Chen Subai, right now, I don't want to wait even a minute."

Shen Subai's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I am..."

He thought she would be angry or suspicious of her.

Xie Yunshu smiled. She hooked her finger around his and shook it: "Why are you saying that? You have already taken a step towards me, so I have to take a step towards you."

She was not a fool. How could she, after having been with him for such a long time, doubt his sexual orientation, or even his sincerity, just because of Aunt Lian's drunken words?

Perhaps because of her previous experience, she felt inferior, hesitated, and was unwilling to believe easily.

But now, she has given her heart to him!

Shen Subai held her down with his big arms and held her to his chest: "Yun Shu, thank you."

The girl in my arms moved her head: "You messed up my hair!"

She didn't dare to sleep the whole night yesterday. With his pressing, the curls on the back of her head must have looked ugly.

Shen Subai's laughter came out from his chest: "No, the permed hair looks good. Do you know what I thought when I saw you for the first time today?"

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Yunshu looked up at him and explained, "I told you, I didn't get my hair permed because of the engagement. It was Lin Cuiping who insisted on taking me there."

Chen Subai pinched her cheeks and kissed her: "Well, it's not that women dress up to please themselves, it's that you are born to be beautiful."

A girl's little hypocrisy is really beautiful to the one who loves her.

Xie Yunshu kissed him for a while, then covered his mouth and asked, "You haven't told me yet, what did you think of the first time you saw me!"

"I'm thinking about something improper." Shen Subai raised his lips and pressed her whole body against the back of the chair: "Something that can only be done after getting the marriage certificate..."
