Shen Zhihuan stared intently at Xie Lanshen, waiting for his answer.
Her originally aloof face was now tinged with a touch of delicate beauty because of her expression.
Xie Lanshen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly made a fist and brought it to his lips, coughing lightly as if to appear calm.
"You'll understand the details once you read it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Rather, he was more eager for Shen Zhihuan to come to him, so that they could spend more time together.
Xie Lanshen discussed with Shen Zhihuan: "How about we choose a day this weekend to get engaged, and simply invite relatives and friends to have a meal together?"
"I'm fine."
It's just an engagement; it doesn't mean we're getting married.
Having Shen Zhihuan move in now and share a room with Xie Lanshen would put some psychological pressure on her.
But if it's just a ceremony, there won't be so many troubles.
Since an engagement is inevitable anyway, and Shen Zhihuan has already moved into the Xie family home, it's better to hold it sooner so that their relationship can develop more legitimately.
"However, with such a short time, won't you be able to return to your unit soon?"
"Um."
Xie Lanshen responded softly, looking down at Shen Zhihuan's long hair draped around her waist, and couldn't help but gently touch it.
It felt just as good as he expected; it was very soft and smooth, like silk.
"I can go back to the army next week."
The two had been together for a while, and although they hadn't done anything too intimate, they had long since gotten used to each other's presence.
Shen Zhihuan noticed Xie Lanshen's actions but did not feel any resistance whatsoever.
Instead, she unconsciously tilted her knees slightly towards him.
"Congratulations."
After she finished speaking sincerely, she couldn't help but add a few more words of advice.
"Although your body has basically recovered, you still need to be careful during daily training and not overexert yourself."
"If you feel unwell anywhere, don't push yourself; be sure to tell me."
Shen Zhihuan was afraid that the tragedy of her past life would repeat itself, so she always paid close attention to Xie Lanshen's health.
Although she estimated that Xie Lanshen's body had almost recovered, his profession was rather special, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.
Xie Lanshen saw the worried expression on Shen Zhihuan's face and couldn't help but smile, softly agreeing.
"Okay, whatever you say."
The two chatted in hushed tones the whole way, discussing nothing more than mundane family matters, yet the atmosphere was exceptionally warm.
The way they interact with each other also inexplicably gives off a feeling of an old married couple.
Because of the close proximity, Xie Lanshen's voice sounded exceptionally magnetic and pleasant.
As Shen Zhihuan listened, she couldn't help but raise her hand to her heart.
I felt a throbbing sensation in my heart, coming in waves.
-
After getting out of the taxi, Shen Zhihuan and Xie Lanshen walked side by side in the alley.
Before dawn, their shadows were stretched out by the dim lights in the alley until they overlapped, making them look exceptionally intimate.
Shen Zhihuan stared at it for a long time, then couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
Just as she was about to tell Xie Lanshen, she heard two hurried footsteps.
"Stay away from me."
Gu Yuchuan emerged from the alleyway with a dark expression, followed by a panting Shen Ling.
No one knows what the two of them did in this secluded corner. Shen Ling was not only unsteady on her feet, but her face was also flushed.
Shen Zhihuan looked puzzled, but had no intention of prying into other people's privacy.
She felt that listening to the two people in front of her would offend her ears.
She originally intended to leave with Xie Lanshen, but the moment Gu Yuchuan saw her face clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
Why did I have to run into Shen Zhihuan at this time of year!
Gu Yuchuan was already upset because Cheng Xiangling had caught him having an affair tonight.
Then she remembered that Shen Zhihuan was close to her, and her eyes instantly darkened.
He always felt that the reason Shen Zhihuan looked at him with such a strange gaze was because she knew about his relationship with his cousin.
When Gu Yuchuan thought of this, his heart sank to the bottom.
He was already unhappy about being tricked into sharing a room with Shen Ling last night, and now these other troubles made him even more annoyed with the two sisters.
His gaze toward Shen Zhihuan became exceptionally unfriendly as a result.
Shen Zhihuan was completely baffled by Gu Yuchuan's gaze.
She already hated this scumbag to the core because of the time she was tricked into marriage in her past life.
She didn't even discipline him, but he actually kept coming back to act like a jerk.
Shen Zhihuan rolled her eyes on the spot, her gaze towards Gu Yuchuan even colder than his.
Xie Lanshen, standing to the side, couldn't help but frown, feeling that Gu Yuchuan's gaze was very impolite.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Shen Ling suddenly took the opportunity to catch up, took Gu Yuchuan's arm, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Honey, slow down! My legs still hurt. I won't be able to keep up if you walk so fast."
Her voice was so sweet and delicate, it was almost sickening.
But he deliberately glanced at Shen Zhihuan with a provocative look.
Her smug expression seemed to suggest that she was afraid Shen Zhihuan wouldn't know what had happened between her and Gu Yuchuan last night.
"I didn't expect to run into Zhihuan and Chief Xie here. Please excuse me for making a fool of myself."
Shen Ling deliberately smiled coquettishly and pointed out their identities, trying to dissuade Shen Zhihuan from coveting her husband.
"It's all your brother-in-law's fault. Although we do have a very good relationship, he can't be so reckless when he's messing with people."
