long black hair. She is a very traditional image of an Eastern woman. Perhaps because she's a mother, her temperament also appears very peaceful. 。However, at this moment, dishevelled and standing by...As a result, he replied very quickly:

"Well, helping those in need."

Shu Tinglan: "......Speak properly."

How come she didn't realize Zhu YUAN was so poor before

"Want to hear the truth Of course it's because I like you."

Shu Tinglan: "...Speak nicely." She stressed her tone.

Zhuo Yu'an didn't reply again and stayed silent for a long time.

"" Shutinglan sent another question mark.

"Are you free"

This cold attitude, Shu Tinglan was choked by it, angered and wished she could block him.

Then, after a while, Zhu Yu'an seemed rather helpless and replied:

"One is because I like it, and the other is to avoid being set up on dates by my family, which is very troublesome."

"Ah, I see! Shu Tinglan let out a breath of relief and replied with conviction."

“Alright, you’ve put my mom's mind at ease. I'll cooperate with you.”

"Um."

Then, she thought for a moment and sent another message:

"Wasn't it because of sympathy for me" she thought this was the most likely possibility.

"Shu Tinglan, I've developed sympathy for so many people, do I marry them all"

She was speechless and finally fell silent, settling down to work.

Time flies when you're busy. When she looked up, everyone in the office had already gone home. She checked the time and it was 9 p.m. There was a message from Zhu Yu an on her phone.

"Call me when you're done, I'll pick you up."

She went downstairs to the roadside and was about to send him a message saying she was taking a taxi home when his car screeched to a halt in front of her, rolling down the window to call out to her.

"Get in the car."

This was by the roadside, although there were few cars at night, it wasn't suitable to park. Several cars honked behind him one after another. Shu Tinglan was speechless and hurried to get out of the car.

"Fasten your seat belt."

He stepped on the gas pedal and skillfully turned the steering wheel to get on the road.

It wasn't her street, she said calmly.

:"You opened the wrong thing."

"Well, on our wedding day, let's go out and celebrate," he said openly, looking straight ahead.

Wedding day

It sounds so awkward.

The car drove forward and turned into a high-end residential area. Shu Tinglan felt familiar, after thinking for a while, she remembered, this was the place he had brought her to on New Year's Eve.

"I've had someone clean the house, and I've put some furniture in it too." The two stood side by side in the elevator from the basement to the upper floors. Zhuo Yu'an naturally took the computer from her hands.

"I don't know what style you like, so I bought the furniture according to your house's style for now. If you don't like it later, you can change it all." He continued.

"Zuo Yu'an, I didn't say I wanted to live together." In this kind of atmosphere, her words were inevitably a little ambiguous.

"Oh." Zhu Yu'an looked at her from the elevator mirror, his "oh" carrying a heavy weight.

Shu Tinglan shifted her gaze, looking down and avoiding his eyes.

"Shu Tinglan, I told you yesterday, after we got the marriage certificate, all my property is yours, including this house. You have the right to use it and dispose of it."

Anyway, whether you live here or not, this house is yours.

When they got home, he grabbed her hand and pressed it on the fingerprint lock. The door opened with a click. He had set up her fingerprint last time, this was her first time using it.

"Madam Zhuo, welcome home." His gaze was sincere, his voice magnetically low and intoxicating.

Shu Tinglan's steps stopped abruptly, her entire face flushing red. This remark was too devastating, it seemed so different from her initial intention when they got their marriage license.

She got the marriage license to make her mother happy and rest assured. Anyway, she had never been interested in marriage all her life and it was unlikely she would marry anyone else. Since her mother wanted this and Zhuo Yu'an was willing, she didn't see any harm in it. Getting a marriage license was better than just finding some random guy, right

She was very calm at first, but the sound of that "too much" completely threw her off.

After entering, Zhu Yu'an suddenly turned around and hugged her in his arms, whispering softly:

"Zoe, I'm serious."

Shu Tinglan buried her head in his arms, a little stiffly. In truth, her heart had become incredibly soft.

Zuo Yu'an touched her hair and then said:

"Rest assured, without your consent, we will maintain a pure platonic relationship."

These are his true feelings. He intends to start over with these things.

Their initial encounter was a chance happening that led to an intimate relationship. It was so idyllic that for a long time afterward, he became deeply infatuated, causing him to cloud his feelings for Shu Tinglan with a thick veil of illusion, preventing her from seeing the real him. This ultimately led to their relationship falling apart like fragile glass blown by the wind.

So this time, he wanted to slow down, take things step by step, at least until Shu Tinglan truly fell in love with him, and willingly let go out of love.

Shuting Lan's face, flushed red, was buried in his chest. Hearing his words, she thought to herself, "Does this man have a problem Before, when he wasn't officially married to me, he did whatever he pleased. Now that we're legally husband and wife, he suddenly wants to act like a good person"

Shu Tinglan doesn't have as many burdens in this regard.

He held her for a while, then pinched her cheeks gently before finally letting go.

"Wait at the restaurant, I'll be there soon."

The restaurant's decor is simple and elegant. The color scheme of the whole house is almost the same as her suburban house, which is her favorite style.

Zhuo Yu'an came out quickly, pushing a small food cart, like a waiter. There were still dishes from the restaurant on the cart, clearly not made by him himself.

She smirked.

“I thought you were cooking yourself.”

"Of course. It was made in the clubhouse kitchen downstairs. My kitchen at home is still being cleaned up." He had gone straight to the restaurant in the community club after work to prepare it.

This club is usually where the owners entertain their clients. Zhuo Yunan has been here a few times, and the staff recognize him. They tried to help him out but he refused them all, wanting to do it himself for her.

He made French cuisine, though it was all pre-prepared, he was meticulous. He served it from the side cart in order: appetizer, soup, side dish, main course, wine, very thoughtful indeed.

Shu Tinglan ate quietly, as if the weariness of a day's work gradually dissipated.

When she had finished eating and was in a good mood, he said...

“Give me your hand.”

She obediently extended her hand to him. Her fingers were long and slender, illuminated by the candlelight, appearing delicate and fragile. Zhuo Yunan grasped her hand tightly, his other hand quickly retrieving a ring and slipping it onto her ring finger before Shu Tinglan could react.

The ring was cool to the touch, the diamonds on it sparkling so brightly they could burn one's eyes. Shu Tinglan instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but he had gripped it too tightly and she couldn't.

He said, "Shu Tinglan, I told you, I'm serious."

He stared at her intently, and continued, "I know what you're thinking, but there's no need to rush. Just take it at your own pace."

His voice was enchanting, and Shu Tinglan nodded unconsciously, gazing at the diamond ring as if lost in thought.

"Do you like it" he asked.

"Uh-huh." She nodded, then fell silent for a moment before speaking.

"Zuo Yu'an, I don't want to make our relationship public yet." Implying that she didn't want to wear the ring publicly.o that modern-feeling concrete road, she even felt freedom beckoning to her. At this moment, a car parked by the roadside suddenly opened its door, and a young boy walked towards them. When he saw Lu...
