This casual sentence struck Shen Rao's heart directly, causing damage to his pericardium. He spoke while enduring his irregular heartbeat.

"That's it. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't make me guess. I don't have any special abilities. I can't read minds."

"You don't have to read my mind to know that."

"What do you mean?"

"Because you are all in my heart." Qi Yan curved her eyebrows, like a spring breeze blowing on her face, tender and lingering, "There is no one else, only you, no matter in the past or in the future."

Help.

Shen Rao was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.

This person really makes his heart go up and down every day. Sometimes it hurts like hell, and sometimes it feels so sweet like it's filled with honey that he wants to drown in the sweetness.

"If you really lie to me, I will go home and not take the elevator or the stairs," he said viciously.

"Then where to go?" Qi Yan was curious.

"Go to the rooftop."

"By helicopter?"

"Jumping from a helicopter."

"..."

Okay.

Qi Yan understood. She obediently cut a piece of steak and fed it to him, then blew on the newly served soup to warm it up: "I won't lie to you, don't worry."

Shen Rao ate it with a grunt: "I'll trust you again."

"Thank you, Lord Shen, for your kindness," Qi Yan bowed, "I will never forget it."

Shen Rao: “…”

"I surrender to you. Stop looking at weird things."

"Okay, Mr. Shen."

After dinner, Shen Rao remembered something.

He looked at Qi Yan, who had to deal with the trouble he had caused, and hung up the men's clothes one by one: "Aren't you not coming back tonight?"

Who knows tomorrow night, why did you come back suddenly?

Shen Rao thought of the message box. This person said he would reply to him, but he didn't reply until the evening. So he secretly kept a record of it with her.

"You said you missed me." Qi Yan used the universal formula, "You missed you too, so I came back."

"Stop talking nonsense." Shen Rao scolded her with a smile. He didn't believe that this was the reason, but he still felt sweet in his heart.

The noble young master raised his neck proudly and said, "If I delay your business, they will scold me for being dishonest and seducing their young master."

Qi Yan, who was putting clothes on the hanger, glanced at him, hung them up, put her hand on his white neck, and lowered her eyes that only he could see clearly: "My self-control is not strong enough, and I took the bait voluntarily."

Shen Rao was stunned for a second, as if bewitched by her, his Adam's apple rolled...

"My mouth is a little dry." Qi Yan suddenly said, "What are you doing?"

"……Dry."

There were ambiguous sounds coming from the closed cloakroom.

Shen Rao was kissed so hard that he couldn't breathe. He said intermittently: "You are obviously the most indecent person here."

He looks very serious, but what he does is not serious at all.

Qi Yan did not refute.

Before this, she didn't know that she was such a person. She probably directed all her bad intentions at this one person, and she felt helpless.

"I can't help it, Mr. Shen. I like you so much that I can't help but tease you. You are so broad-minded, so just let me."

She pecked his ears, kissed his temples, looked at his body trembling with endurance, and worked tirelessly and enthusiastically.

Halfway through, Qi Yan said, "There are still some clothes left to hang up. Wait a minute."

Shen Rao would never let her go, and he clung to her like an octopus: "Stop it, I'll hang up when you get back."

"That won't work." Qi Yan was unwilling, "I'll do it as agreed."

"Stop talking nonsense," Shen Rao hooked her waist and said hoarsely, "Come here, do me first."

"..."

In the end, the remaining clothes were not hung up. Shen Rao was reluctant to let her precious hands do the work, but he was willing to let her serve him.

Shen Rao said: How is this not considered work?

I am alive.

So, I am 'alive'.

In the bathtub, he asked the woman who drove for several hours and rubbed his back without complaint.

"You really don't find me annoying?"

"Why would I find you annoying?" Qi Yan was puzzled. She rolled up her sleeves, used the bath ball to lather in her hands, and then applied it to his body. "If I find you annoying, why would I accept you? This is a weird question."

"..." Shen Rao stirred the hot water in the bathtub and muttered, "Qi Yan, I recently realized that the gap between us is really huge."

It was big enough to overturn all his cognition in the first half of his life. As a rich young man who had lived in a safe circle of the rich all his life, he was only interested in luxury cars and beautiful women, and was always calculating conspiracies and tricks. He never expected that someone would throw a grenade like throwing an apple core.

He thought a lot today, but couldn't figure out what to do.

How can he integrate into the Qi family?

The Qi family has no shortage of money, power, or skilled subordinates.

Even Yuan Yuan, who is like a pug beside him, is a hidden master who has received professional training since childhood.

It's too unrealistic to ask him, an old man who is almost thirty, to compete with others in terms of strength.

If he had to assist Qi Yan in work, Shen Rao would know without hesitation that it was inappropriate for an outsider to contact their power center.

He really didn't know what to do.

He always wanted to do something for her, but now he found himself powerless.

This was the first time that the omnipotent Mr. Shen suffered such a setback.

He realized that Qi Yan didn't seem to need him, and might even be better off without him.

There will be a partner who can support her and provide a lot of help in her career and family, but he... seems really useless.

After listening to his story, Qi Yan was silent for a long time.

She didn't speak, Shen Rao was flustered, and turned to see her expression: "Do you think so too?"

He was so scared, and his inferiority complex eroded him, and he even started to talk nonsense: "It would be better for you to marry someone else. They can help you and assist you. I am useless..."

"Shen Rao." Qi Yan called him.

Shen Rao stopped talking and replied to her in a low voice: "Yeah."

He felt as if his forehead was pressed against his back, and there was hot breath on his shoulders, a rhythm that he was familiar with.

After a long while, Qi Yan closed her eyes and asked, "When you wanted to marry me, did you ever think about life after marriage?"

"……Have."

"Tell me."

Shen Rao lay on the edge of the bathtub and began to recall, speaking one sentence at a time.

"I just want to give you a grand wedding, tell the world that I'm married, and think that I've already started a family. I definitely can't continue to be so unfocused outside. Tell grandma that I want to go back and take over the family business. Then, get the marriage certificate, and we can be together happily, and everyone will be happy."

"What about the details of being together?"

Shen Rao thought about it carefully: "It's probably that I work in the company, and I will support you in whatever you want to do, whether it's continuing to study, starting a business, or working for yourself - Gu Qing originally decided to give you the bar as our wedding gift."

When he finished speaking, his voice sounded somewhat resentful, as he still hadn't gotten over her abandonment four years ago.

Qi Yan chuckled: "It feels like a pretty good married life."

Shen Rao was about to nod, but stopped when he heard her next sentence.

"Then have you ever thought that I am of no help to you in this marriage?"

Qi Yan said slowly: "Why don't you marry one of those rich daughters? I am of no use to you."
