Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

Chapter 121 I seem to have fallen in love with him

That night, Li Zhanwen came to my house carrying a lot of bags. I was very puzzled. What was going on?

"What are you doing?" I asked after looking at Li Zhanwen's bags.

"I have nowhere to go! No one dares to take me in, so I can only come to you for help!" Li Zhanwen answered happily.

"Don't you live with your brother?"

"It was before, but I don't know what happened to my mom today. She kicked me out forcefully. She said that since I ran away from home, I shouldn't use the family's money or my siblings' money. My brothers and sisters couldn't resist my mom, so I was kicked out!"

"Don't you have any money?"

Li Zhanwen smiled awkwardly, "All the money I had was given by my family, and she froze it all!"

"No cash at all?"

“A little but not much!”

"Then you can rent a house, right?"

“I don’t have enough money!”

"Then go find a job first!"

"My mom is putting obstacles in my way. I can't find a job in Hegang. Even the waiters don't want me!"

"Then I'll lend you the money and you can rent a house yourself."

"It's no use lending me money. Have you forgotten how my mother completely blocked me in the United States? Now that I'm in Hegang, she has even more places to reach out! Even if I have money, I can't rent a house, not even a shabby studio! She just wants to block all my paths and force me to surrender!"

"Then you can't live with me either! That would only create so many rumors. I've finally had a few days of peace, and now you're giving the paparazzi something to talk about. This is absolutely not okay!"

"Then you can announce to the public that I'm your driver. You saw that I was desperate, so you offered me a job out of friendship."

"It's such a waste of talent for you to be a driver. And if your mother knew her precious son was my driver, she would definitely come and pick a fight with me again!"

"She can't do anything to you now, so she puts pressure on me, but I can't give in to her! Just take me in first! Otherwise I will starve to death on the street! Chengcheng is so young, can you bear to see him without a father?" Li Zhanwen played the emotional card. I don't know if it was because of the pregnancy, but I was particularly soft-hearted. I hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

"Thank you!" Li Zhanwen walked into my house with his bags full of satisfaction. I gave him a spare room next to Wei Cheng's room, and he began to pack his bags with satisfaction and put all his clothes in the closet.

"I met your mother today and we had some conflicts, so maybe she took her anger out on you."

"I guessed it. She turned a blind eye to it before, but now she's suddenly attacking me. She must have been provoked."

"You will attract more gossip if you live here, so be careful and low-key when you go out."

"You're single now, and I'm single too. It doesn't hurt anyone if two single people are together. It's impossible to be low-key in a place as small as Hegang. It's better to just admit openly that I live in your house."

"I'm pregnant now, so you have to avoid suspicion even more."

"Why didn't Shen Junhui avoid suspicion when you were pregnant with Chengcheng? Besides, he took care of my son, and now I take care of his son, we are even!"

"There weren't so many paparazzi in the US back then! Now there are paparazzi everywhere, and they can make a story out of anything. I'm sick of seeing myself in newspapers and magazines every day!"

"Just get used to it, that's how they make a living."

"Today, Xu Jing told your mother that you should be my son-in-law. She also said that you are my bootlicker. Your mother was really pissed off. If you stay with me again, your mother will be pissed to death!"

"No wonder my mother always scolded me for being useless. So that's how it is. But if you want me to be your son-in-law, I don't mind!" Li Zhanwen answered happily.

"You don't mind? Does your family mind?"

"My parents have four sons and quite a few grandchildren, so it's okay for me to be your live-in son-in-law. I'll just live with you after we get married. It's no different from a normal marriage. Why should you discriminate against live-in sons-in-law? The great poet Li Bai was also a live-in son-in-law, and so were the husbands of queens, like Prince Philip. So what's wrong with being a live-in son-in-law?"

"A son-in-law will be ridiculed and criticized for being a gigolo. It will bring shame to his husband and his parents. Aren't you afraid?"

"You live your own life, why care about what others think? I'm not Rong Zixuan, I don't have such a strong self-esteem! As long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything else! And times have changed! How many men want to live off you but can't find a place to do it!"

"You're a kid from a wealthy family. You might find it novel now, but you'll get bored of it after a while! Your inherent sense of superiority and male chauvinism will gradually emerge!"

"What you said is just your own speculation! And I find that you don't understand me," Li Zhanwen said with a wry smile. "You speculate about me without knowing me. It's like answering a question blindly without understanding a knowledge point. This will cause your answer to deviate from the correct answer!"

"Don't worry about the answer or not, we are not suitable for each other anyway!"

"It's your assumption that it's not suitable!"

"Stop!" I quickly interrupted Li Zhanwen, "You tidy up first, I won't disturb you anymore!" I quickly slipped away, afraid that if we continued debating, we would start quarreling.

The next morning when I went to pick up my car for work, I found Li Zhanwen waiting for me by my car early.

"Are you really planning to be my driver?" I asked with a smile.

"I can't live and eat here for free! I can't find a job anyway, and I'm bored all day long."

"Okay!" I threw the car keys to him.

At noon, the news about Li Zhanwen driving me to work went viral. Li's mother called again to harass me, but I blocked her. Shen Junhui also called to question why Li Zhanwen was with me, but I hung up on him. My only response to the media's repeated hype was that Li Zhanwen was my housekeeper, and that driving me to work was his job. Li's mother was even more furious, complaining to the media that Li Zhanwen was completely besotted with me, and that the top student she had worked so hard to train was being used as a driver for someone else!

After spending several months together, I discovered that Li Zhanwen was truly a very good person. He was very sensitive to his emotions and had a very good temper; I rarely even saw him lose his temper. I couldn't help but recall how we met, and my heart was gradually shaken.

His approach left a lasting impression when we first met, but unfortunately, I wasn't single, and he left disappointed. We kept missing each other, and my heart was hurt by others, slowly building a wall, shutting out anyone. But over the past few months, he's been knocking on that closed door of my heart with his unique gentleness and persistence. He's always there when I need him, always perceiving my concerns and offering me strength with his delicate words. As we spent time together, I discovered qualities in him that I'd overlooked. Gradually, I realized that the man I thought I knew wasn't the real him, but rather my own imagination. He was right: I didn't understand him, but had been replacing the real him with my own imagination!

His love for me has always been steadfast, but it was previously suppressed by his mother, making it vague. I also ignored the pressure he faced as a son caught between his mother and the person he loved, thinking he was a coward who would retreat when faced with difficulties. So many years have passed, I let go of Rong Zixuan and fell in love with Shen Junhui, but he still waited for me.

Later, I found that the closed door in my heart was slowly opening, and my heart was slowly moving closer to him. I increasingly enjoyed sharing my joys and sorrows with him, and he always responded positively and was willing to share his joys and sorrows with me. We shared our thoughts with each other, and every communication strengthened our relationship.

Then one day I discovered that our souls were so similar, our values were so close, and we could resonate with each other's thoughts!

Me! I think I'm in love with him!
