He is paranoid and warm

Sheng Shushu was completely unprepared and saw large scratches on his back.

When she was beaten by Old Xiao before, she felt it was horrifying. The bruises finally faded almost completely, but this time, it was even more terrifying.

She was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "How did you do it?"

To be honest, she was not used to seeing Xiao Yu injured.

It was because she had been married to him for so many years in her previous life, but she had never seen him hurt.

He was a man who always paid great attention to his image. Even if she sometimes suspected that he might be unwell or injured, he would always have a reason not to let her see.

If you think about it carefully, every time at this time, he seemed to be on a business trip, or students had papers that needed to be dealt with urgently, so they had to live in the dormitory building and not return to the villa.

Naturally, they wouldn't be close during those days, and she didn't know what was going on with him.

Generally speaking, Sheng Shushu had never seen Xiao Yu do anything wrong.

In her perception of the world, Xiao Yu was perfect. She had never seen him cut his nails in front of her at home, let alone going to the toilet.

Sometimes she would see posts complaining online that couples had no privacy at all after being together for a long time.

He knew what the other party was trying to say as soon as he moved his butt. This kind of thing had never happened between her and Xiao Yu.

She didn't feel anything at that time, but now Sheng Shushu clearly realized that Xiao Yu was probably still distant towards her.

Sure enough, she realized many things only after a while.

At this moment, Xiao Yu did not hide or conceal anything, and showed her the injuries on his entire back, "I didn't step firmly when I was looking for you."

She frowned after hearing this. He was really very different from before.

This gave her a reason not to refuse to apply the medicine for him.

Sheng Shushu lifted the quilt. There was a drawer in the room that contained some stock medicines. She opened it and searched around a bit before taking out a tube of ointment that was suitable for her condition.

The ointment had a pungent smell, so she exhaled slightly while applying it.

"Before I come back, I want to tell you that when I was looking for you, Zong Chizhi's system registered our marriage."

"The one downstairs just now, even if I didn't tell her, she would have known."

Sheng Shushu didn't know why he suddenly explained this matter at this moment. Why didn't he explain it when she asked him why he told others?

"You know there will be a case during the City Games at Golden Horse." He continued speaking to himself.

"The city sports meeting will be held in the next two days. The case has been reported and the suspect has been arrested. As a possible insider, I must take you with me on the trip to avoid accidental injury."

"Before I left, there was also a case in Qingcheng, which was supposed to be aimed at me."

"Unexpectedly, you became the bait."

As Sheng Shushu listened, he felt something was wrong.

"You took me to Qingcheng on purpose?"

"You didn't just go to the lecture?"

Did he go to Qingcheng as bait to be kidnapped, and then he would cooperate to wipe out that base?

As a result, that group of people targeted her for some reason, because they had seen her and Xiao Yu together.

"He went to the lecture and was also an insider."

When Xiao Yu said this, Sheng Shushu suddenly realized that she shouldn't have listened.

Husband and wife are one body, so it seems nothing wrong for him to even tell her the secret of being a traitor.

But they were not an ordinary couple, and she shouldn't have listened.

As a result, Xiao Yu seemed to know what she was thinking. He turned sideways, grabbed her wrist, and pulled it down, preventing her from getting up and leaving.

Sheng Shushu frowned, "Let go."

Xiao Yu just looked at her, "At first I thought that if I didn't stop you from going out shopping and staying with me, you wouldn't be involved in this matter."

No wonder, when she said she didn't want to go to the lecture with him, he didn't force her and agreed easily. He just told her to call him sometimes before hanging up.

Xiao Yu ignored her struggle and insisted on finishing his words, "I will have dinner with Madam Qingtan another day. You will always know about this incident. I planned it."

"I'm telling you in advance, lest you think I deliberately let you out as bait."

With her way of thinking, she would definitely think of him that way.

Sheng Shushu didn't say anything. For just a second, she had indeed thought so.

How could it be such a coincidence that she was targeted out of the blue, and he found her so quickly.

But when he said that, she didn't know how to react for a moment.

After a long while, he finally said, "You do this kind of thing part-time, do you make a lot of money?"

Xiao Yu let go of her hand and put down his clothes.

"Money is secondary when doing something like this."

Sheng Shushu smiled and said, "That's to earn connections."

He loves this thing the most. He wants to weave his own network in all parts of the country and in all walks of life.

Xiao Yu responded: "At the critical moment, it can save your life."

"My life may not matter, I can get married and have children, and my family will share the same treatment."

Sheng Shushu screwed the cap of the ointment on and smiled casually, "You still want to say that this is for me and your future children?"

When she said this, she turned to look at him and her smile deepened.

He clearly said that he didn't want children, but you forgot what you said, right?

After all, it turns out that they were setting a big net for her and painting big rosy pictures for her?

You want her to get trapped again, don't you?

But not?

She was really listening to him carefully just now, and she had already put herself into his thoughts, and she was almost there.

Pity.

She's not so gullible now.

However, Sheng Shushu put the ointment back, closed the drawer, and came to her senses and looked at the man beside the bed.

"I know you've done a lot and worked hard. I never thought of doubting you or blaming you for this matter."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Didn't you just say that the agreement is for five years in total?"

"Five years later, no matter what the outcome is, at least within five years, if you want to try to make me fall in love with you again, I will definitely not stop you."

The implication is that if he really loved her enough, she would not refuse to fall in love with her.

However, only Sheng Shushu herself knows how much of this statement is true.

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at her, not knowing whether he wanted to verify it.

Sheng Shushu let him look at her, and she looked into his eyes.

The eyes are clear.

Xiao Yu probably believed it, and his voice became a little softer, "You want to open a pawn shop to appraise treasures, I'll invite Mr. Xue for you and register it under your shop name."

In the early days, she relied on Mr. Xue's reputation as the person who personally appraised treasures. After the store's business picked up, her own abilities would probably have improved as well. By then, she would no longer need Mr. Xue and could do it alone.

Sheng Shushu smiled and did not refuse, "Okay."

Xiao Yu walked towards her.

When the distance was too close, she felt a little guilty, but she still raised her face slightly and looked at him.

At that moment, the thought appeared in her mind for the second time: What would the scene be like if she made such an outstanding man like Xiao Yu fall in love with him first and then dumped him?

She had no choice. From beginning to end, she couldn't avoid him, so she could only force him to be deeply hurt and choose to leave her.

"Take a nap?" He looked down at her.
