Zhang Xiuyuan could never have imagined that the person who kidnapped him and the little bun would be Shen Chaomu.
"Why you? What do you want to do by bringing me and the child here? Was my wife lured away by your people? What did you do to her?" Zhang Xiuyuan was eager to know the news about Zhao Chuchu.
"Zhao Chuchu, Zhao Chuchu, why is there only Zhao Chuchu in your eyes and heart? Why can't there be a place for me in your heart?" Shen Chaomu stared at Zhang Xiuyuan and growled.
Zhang Xiuyuan was stunned. He had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure. He asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"I like you, Xiuyuan, I like you, do you understand?" Shen Chaomu expressed her passionate love for the first time. She stared at Zhang Xiuyuan, his figure reflected in her eyes, as if her whole body and mind were devoted to this handsome figure in front of her.
"How is that possible!" Zhang Xiuyuan didn't want to believe it. He hadn't spent much time with Shen Chaomu, and his perception was always sharp. He had never noticed any signs that Shen Chaomu was in love with him. "Chaomu, are you mistaken? You're already married, aren't you?"
"I'm not mistaken." Shen Chaomu grabbed Zhang Xiuyuan's arms and said, "Xiuyuan, you can doubt other things, but you must never doubt my love for you.
I'm such a good person, why can't I like you? Back then, my leg was broken, I was covered in dirt and lying on the ground like a beggar. It was you who gave me sesame cakes to fill my stomach, and you who gave me money to heal my leg. That day, you were like an immortal from a painting, and I loved you then. Later, my leg healed, but I couldn't find you in Tangzhou Prefecture.
I thought we would never meet again, but I didn't expect you to come to Tangzhou Prefecture and bring cakes to the temple. You are always so kind. You know that we are beggars and homeless children, but you still try your best to help us.
Xiuyuan, how could I not love you like this? But I showed up too late. You were already married to Zhao Chuchu, and I was just an incompetent waif. But now, I have the ability, Xiuyuan. What Zhao Chuchu can give you, I can give you as well. My love for you is no less than hers. Xiuyuan, let's be together from now on. As for Yi Qian, I don't like him at all. Don't you find that he looks a bit like you? I just treat him as your substitute.
Speaking of Yi Qian, Shen Chaomu couldn't help but think of the yard he had just passed by and saw the sick figure lying on the bed. He couldn't help but frowned, but the strange feeling in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Zhang Xiuyuan never thought that Shen Chaomu would fall in love with him because of his previous help, and he found it ridiculous that she said she used Yi Qian as a substitute.
"Yi Qian loves you, how could you do this?"
"He loves me, but I don't love him." Shen Chaomu immediately denied it, making it clear that she had no feelings for Yi Qian, and his words happened to reach the ears of the figure outside the door.
The skinny boy was only wearing thin clothes, and looked even weaker in the cool breeze. He covered his mouth with his hands to prevent himself from sobbing.
He had accidentally seen her coming to his yard and followed her out with the last glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect to hear her passionate confession to another man and her disdain for him.
