As soon as I walked out of the house, I heard endless noise and bustle. There were extreme facilities not far ahead, and people's screams and exclamations were really heart-wrenching.
At the bottom of the stairs, a man and a woman stood side by side, but there was a great distance between them. If someone else passed by, they would definitely think that they were strangers to each other.
The colorful street lights reflected on their faces, and between the light and darkness, it was almost impossible to see the expressions on their faces.
The late autumn night was accompanied by gusts of cool breeze. Shen Shuhe couldn't help but shiver his neck, raised his hand to pull down the brim of his hat, and then slid his hands into his coat pockets.
The man next to her hadn't spoken yet, and Shen Shuhe lowered her eyebrows and secretly guessed, could it be that something happened to Jasmine tonight and he... was angry?
But Shen Shuhe felt that he had reason to be angry.
A minute passed, and Shen Shuhe still only heard the screams of tourists and the conversations of passers-by.
She quietly raised her head and glanced at the man. His profile was handsome but actually cold and hard. She lowered her eyes and saw that the man had a cigarette between his fingers. She didn't know when he took it out.
He didn't light it, but played with it slowly in his hand.
Could it be that he was waiting for her to speak?
...
...
Shen Shuhe guessed that after all, something went wrong tonight when she was with Jasmine, so an apology was definitely required.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuhe pursed her red lips, moved her lips and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, a deep voice sounded first, "You want it?"
"What?" Shen Shuhe immediately responded after hearing the incoherent sentence.
With a clear and somewhat confused gaze, Shen Shuhe met the man's dark eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly and saw that the man did not speak, but raised his arm slightly.
Shen Shuhe immediately understood what the man said, and she waved her hand awkwardly: "No, no need."
He actually thought she wanted the cigarette in his hand...
Shen Shuhe then realized that he had been discovered when he was looking at him just now.
His ears felt a little hot, so Shen Shuhe touched them.
When I looked over again, the man had already looked away.
"Mr. Jin..."
"you……"
Two voices, one soft and one deep, sounded at the same time. Shen Shuhe was stunned for a moment, and his eyes collided with the man again.
She raised her hands in an invitation: "You go first."
But the man said, “Miss Shen, please.”
There was no point in refusing such a thing, so Shen Shuhe said "thank you" softly, and continued where he had left off: "Mr. Jin, I know I have said sorry too many times, but tonight I still want to say sorry to you and Jasmine. It was because of my negligence that Jasmine..."
"Ms. Shen likes to apologize to people?"
The speech was interrupted again, Shen Shuhe opened his lips slightly, and just looked at the person next to him.
Her eyes were slightly stunned, as if she didn't understand what the man said.
Jin Yanzhou noticed the woman's stunned look, and with his thin lips twitched, he explained: "I just feel that Miss Shen is apologizing every time she sees me."
"I thought you liked apologizing."
Shen Shuhe: “…”
Is this a joke?
But it's not funny.
Shen Shuhe didn't expect the man to speak so "wittily", and for a moment, he really didn't know how to respond.
Sensing her embarrassment, Jin Yanzhou did not continue to speak. He changed the subject and spoke slowly: "Ms. Shen is not a fortune teller. Although you were responsible for Jasmine's near-accidents a few times before, it was not what you wanted."
"So... there's no need to put the blame on you every time."
The reason why Jin Yanzhou has a rift with Chen Shuhe is because the ignorant people around her always involve Jasmine.
But he has eyes, and he can clearly see right from wrong.
Shen Shuhe's feelings for Jasmine, at least so far, are not problematic.
What's more, he took the initiative to teach the mother and daughter a lesson tonight.
Jin Yanzhou recalled the scene where Chen Shuhe stabbed the woman with a toy knife without hesitation. His deep and dark eyes moved slightly, and then his gaze swept across the back of her hand.
"I should be the one thanking you for what happened today." The man turned around with the cigarette between his legs and spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Shen Shuhe's expression finally changed significantly.
"Mr. Jin, you..."
"I've already watched the surveillance video. Thank you for helping Jasmine teach those two a lesson." The man's voice was low and magnetic, and his tone was serious.
Shen Shuhe suddenly felt uneasy.
She thought he would blame her for not taking good care of Jasmine...
Blinking his eyes, Shen Shuhe hurriedly said: “You’re welcome, Mr. Jin, this is what I should do.”
“How can I stand by and watch Jasmine being bullied?” Shen Shuhe said sincerely, and finally said with a bit of embarrassment: “I should be the one thanking you, not blaming me for not taking good care of Jasmine.”
After he finished speaking, through the colorful lights, Jin Yanzhou's eyes were reflected in the woman's crescent-shaped eyes.
Bright and clear, with gentle eyes and eyebrows, like a clear spring, with a hint of softness and gentleness in the haziness.
Jin Yanzhou stared at her for a while, and suddenly felt a dryness in his throat. He coughed lightly and looked away.
Shen Shuhe heard the man coughing and was about to express her concern, but suddenly she heard the man calling her.
"Ms. Shen."
"Hmm? Mr. Jin, go ahead."
"I wonder if you can be Jasmine's tutor at home?" The man said slowly, looking into her eyes. "I can pay you according to the highest market price, or if you ask, I can pay you more than the market price."
After the man finished speaking, all that was left was the whistling wind passing by his ears.
Shen Shuhe just stared back at him, also digesting his words.
After a moment, her lips moved slightly, and she replied: "Mr. Jin means that I should stay by Jasmine's side and take care of her at all times?"
"That's right." Jin Yanzhou nodded. "I may not have as much free time in the future, so I won't be able to take care of Jasmine all the time."
"Jasmine likes you very much. She won't be bored if you accompany her."
Shen Shuhe understood.
Private tutor, or high-level nanny.
However, judging from the man's serious tone, it should not be the latter.
Shen Shuhe really didn't expect him to bring up such a topic, but he could understand it.
He loves his daughter so much and does everything for Jasmine.
but……
Shen Shuhe lowered his eyebrows and did not reply immediately.
"Of course, if Miss Shen has any other requests, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to meet all your needs."
Jin Yanzhou saw her hesitation and added again.
However, Shen Shuhe still did not answer.
The atmosphere froze again, Shen Shuhe adjusted the mask on her face, and she took it off after a few seconds.
At this time, he said, "First of all, thank you Mr. Jin for your trust, but I may fail you."
A frank and honest refusal.
Jin Yanzhou asked: "Can you tell me the reason?"
"If you are worried about your job, I can relax the conditions and it won't affect your normal work."
He knew that Chen Shuhe was now a model signed by an entertainment company, and she had to run around to attend announcements.
If she relents, none of this will be a problem.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jin.” Shen Shuhe’s lips curved up, and then he bowed slightly to the man the next second, “But I think this is irresponsible to Jasmine, including my job.”
