As dawn approached, he closed his eyes and dozed off for a while, finally managing to fall asleep.
He had a nightmare in which Butler Shen and his men tied him up and took him back to the Shen family.
Then, he was forced to marry the woman he had never met.
On their wedding day, Miss Guan watched from the guest seats as he and other women performed the wedding ceremony.
The scene shifts, and she and Feng Sheng are holding hands as they board a rickshaw in front of the Shen family's house.
He suddenly woke up with a start, abandoned his bride, and chased after her.
But the rickshaw gradually disappeared into the distance.
No matter how hard he chased after him, he couldn't catch up.
...
"Guan Shuqing, Guan Shuqing!"
He called her name in his dream, and Shen Changling was suddenly awakened by fright.
Dappled sunlight streamed in through the window.
He sat up, his forehead covered in sweat.
Huff, huff.
In the silent space, the man was breathing heavily.
He was terrified; the realism of the dream was overwhelming, and he felt suffocated even when he tried to breathe.
He got up to wash up, and then went out without even eating.
Early morning, at the Guan family's house.
After speaking with the housekeeper, Rong Shang walked out of the courtyard carrying her handbag.
When she arrived at the door, the maid greeted her.
She nodded slightly and left.
Who knew, we had only taken a few steps...
A tall, thin man rushed towards them.
Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms.
If it weren't for that familiar scent, I would have silently withdrawn my hand.
With just that one blow, the man would definitely fall to the ground on the spot.
At the gate, the maid exclaimed.
Startled, she covered her mouth and said, "Young Miss."
Rong Shang turned around and said to the maid, "You go in first."
"But……"
"Go in!" His tone turned colder.
She dared not disobey, and said, "I understand."
He turned around and went inside.
With no one around, Rong Shang turned around and patted him on the back. "What's wrong?"
"You're acting so recklessly so early in the morning, what happened?"
"I……"
There were some things that Shen Changling didn't know how to explain to her.
At this moment, he held her tightly with both hands and buried his face in the crook of her neck.
In the summer, the two of them quickly broke out in a sweat.
It's really hot.
Rong Chang wanted to avoid it.
But seeing how sullen he looked, I couldn't bear to leave him there.
"Let's go, let's talk as we walk."
"..." No response.
“Sir?” Rong Shang lowered her eyes and just then saw his shoulders tremble slightly.
What's going on here?
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Call me A-Ling."
He always addressed him as "Mr."
It feels strangely unfamiliar.
The man's domineering and unquestionable words came through.
Rong Shang immediately changed her tune, "A-Ling, what exactly happened?"
"I..." He still couldn't say anything, "It's nothing."
Lift your head up from her shoulder.
Rong Shang looked at him and saw that his eyes were red.
She looked like she was about to cry.
She felt both helpless and amused. "What's wrong? You're such a grown-up, why are you still crying?"
"I didn't," the man said, unwilling to admit it.
He sniffed as he lowered his head, looking all wronged. "You're the one who's crying."
"Let's go quickly."
Urging him won't help.
Rong Shang simply reached out and grabbed his large hand.
Shen Changling was stunned for a moment, then looked up and met the woman's smiling eyes.
“Let’s go buy some meat buns,” she said sweetly.
Shen Changling's thoughts were once again drawn along by her, and he nodded emphatically.
Finally, a smile appeared on his face for the first time this morning.
"good."
The two were about to leave, in the instant they turned around.
They ran into Guan Shuli, who was walking out of the house.
She paused for a moment, then looked down at their clasped hands.
"!!!"
