Shen Tinghe controlled the volume just right, so that only Lin Qingtong could hear it, while Su Wanjun on the other side was completely unaware.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong's cheeks flushed, and she glared at Shen Tinghe reproachfully before turning to hand the handkerchief to Su Wanjun.
She thought to herself: It's just a contractual relationship, three months is nothing at all.
After Su Wanjun finally finished crying, she had time to recall everything that had just happened.
Her eyes were red and swollen as she warily stared in Shen Tinghe's direction.
What exactly is your relationship with Tongtong?
She had seen Shen Tinghe before at Jiang Hao and Lin Qingtong's wedding banquet; his noble and domineering aura was awe-inspiring.
At that time, he was young and already the future heir of the Shen family, sitting in the highest seat at the banquet.
Even Jiang Hao had to address him with utmost respect as "Little Uncle".
Immediately afterwards, Su Wanjun looked at Lin Qingtong with a strange expression, as if she were disappointed in her.
However, Su Wanjun still gave Lin Qingtong some face and did not ask directly.
Lin Qingtong was about to explain that their relationship was merely a business partnership, and they were only pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
As a result, Shen Tinghe spoke first, his voice deep and mellow, and for some reason, Lin Qingtong could hear a hint of joy in it.
"We are a legitimate boyfriend and girlfriend."
Su Wanjun immediately realized something was wrong, and her tone turned cold.
"But I remember you have a fiancée, Huo Xinlan from the Huo family. Your marriage was arranged a long time ago, but the engagement banquet hasn't been held yet."
Shen Tinghe remained calm and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"She has someone she likes, and we are going to call off the engagement."
Despite Shen Tinghe's words, Su Wanjun still had some distrust.
Shen Tinghe smiled and made a promise.
"Don't worry, Aunt Su. Since I've decided to be with Tongtong, I mean it and I will never let her down."
Then he extended his long, slender fingers and swore an oath, word by word.
"If I betray Lin Qingtong, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
Su Wanjun then reluctantly believed her somewhat, and her tone softened a bit.
"You two are just boyfriend and girlfriend now, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to get married."
Lin Qingtong was taken aback when she heard her mother's words.
Previously, Su Wanjun had always prevented her from getting a divorce, thinking that the other party was the kind of old-fashioned and rigid elder, but she never expected that today he would take the initiative to say that they were just boyfriend and girlfriend.
Lin Qingtong didn't notice the slight change in Shen Tinghe's expression; he simply looked at his mother and asked.
"Mom, do you really think so?"
Su Wanjun's eyes were red as she smiled and her eyebrows curved slightly.
"You finally escaped from Jiang Hao's absurd marriage, there's no need to jump into the next one so quickly."
"Besides, whether or not the marriage can proceed smoothly is another matter."
When she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Tinghe, as if she were implying something.
After all, the Shen Tinghe family is one of the four major families, and their power is immense. Even the slightest disturbance can affect the entire city.
She didn't think the two of them had a good future and didn't believe they could stay together for a long time.
Shen Tinghe also noticed it, and his expression changed slightly, but he did not let anyone notice.
"Tongtong, if you don't have anywhere to go, I have a property that would suit you."
Lin Qingtong originally thought it was just an ordinary villa, thinking that at most she would pay Shen Tinghe some rent.
Unexpectedly, the vehicle was parked outside a large courtyard.
What comes into view are houses that resemble ancient castles, layers of changing lights, and a large expanse of lush green grass all around.
At this moment, the place is brightly lit and has a mysterious charm.
Lin Qingtong looked at everything in front of her and felt that it looked familiar. Then she remembered that she had visited this place when she was in college. It was a landmark of the area.
I've passed by this place countless times and seen it brightly lit, thinking it was some kind of museum.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a private property, and it belonged to Shen Tinghe.
The night was quiet and still. Lin Qingtong looked up at Shen Tinghe, her expression slightly complicated.
Given Shen Tinghe's qualities, he could have any outstanding woman at his fingertips, so why would he choose someone like me who just got divorced?
Her lips twitched, but she ultimately couldn't bring herself to ask.
Shen Tinghe spoke first: "This is something I prepared for you a long time ago."
He didn't give an exact time, so Lin Qingtong assumed it was something that had been prepared when Shen Tinghe asked her to move in some time ago.
But in reality, Shen Tinghe designed and built it himself when he was a teenager.
From the moment Lin Qingtong first saw this building, it was born because of Lin Qingtong.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Lin Qingtong happened to be drunk, Shen Tinghe appeared to rescue her, and then they had sex?
If Shen Tinghe hadn't deliberately indulged her, how many women could have easily gotten close to him?
Lin Qingtong was completely unaware of this.
Since things had already come to this point, Shen Tinghe had no intention of saying anything more.
As long as Lin Qingtong stays by my side in the future, that's enough.
Su Wanjun had already been led into the courtyard. Lin Qingtong and Shen Tinghe stood at the highest point, surrounded by bright lights, and could see the bustling city in the distance.
Shen Tinghe took a heavy scarf and draped it over Lin Qingtong, his long fingers resting on the railing, his tone indifferent.
"You can stay here in peace; I guarantee no one will be able to disturb you easily."
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Qingtong brazenly gazed at Shen Tinghe's stunning face, a smile playing on her lips.
"Is the banquet being held here?"
