On the day Shen Anran was discharged from the hospital, the whole family gathered together, but it seemed that one person was missing.

Since she returned to this body, she has neither seen Shen Jiahe nor heard her family mention her name.

Maybe they were worried that mentioning it would affect her emotionally, so they kept it a secret.

That useless system had once assured her that she would not die easily.

It turned out that it was not lying, she was not dead, but her soul returned to this body again.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital gate, I saw Zhou Jingyan.

He stood outside the hospital gate, his posture upright, like a solitary pine tree, and naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Zhou Jingyan was wearing a black suit with two buttons undone at the collar, revealing a clear neck line and his legs were straight and slender under his black trousers.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

When Zhou Jingyan saw Shen Anran appear, he immediately strode over.

He first greeted Zhou Zhenting and others briefly, and then focused his attention on Shen Anran.

Even though they had just met not long ago, he deliberately pretended to be reunited after a long separation and greeted her in a tone as if they were meeting for the first time: "An An, do you remember me?"

"Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Shen Anran deliberately spoke in a tone full of doubt, as if she really didn't know him.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Zhou Jingyan's eyes, and he secretly laughed at her mischief in his heart.

"I'm Zhou Jingyan." He introduced himself again.

Shen Anran pretended to think seriously for a while, then revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Brother Shitou? Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Zhou Jingyan opened his arms and looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Well, do you want a hug?" His tone was doting and at the same time, vaguely expectant.

Shen Anran smiled softly, jumped lightly, and threw herself into his arms, just like when she was a child.

Zhou Jingyan caught her steadily, his movements were skillful and natural, as if this scene had been played out many times.

This scene fell into the eyes of others, and their faces couldn't help but turn cold.

If it were in the past, they might not have had any special reaction, but the situation is different now - they have decided to cancel their marriage.

Shen Yifeng's voice interrupted the warm scene. He shouted, "An An, go back."

"Brother, you guys go back first. Zhou Jingyan will take me back."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people present became even uglier, but they couldn't show it directly in front of Shen Anran.

In desperation, they could only leave with dissatisfaction.

Shen Anran hugged Zhou Jingyan's neck and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"I knew you were discharged from the hospital today, so I wanted to come and see you."

Shen Anran frowned slightly, complaining in her voice: "Why didn't you come some time ago? They watched me very closely, even when I went out, someone followed me."

"Help you finish." Zhou Jingyan didn't explain much, but Shen Anran fully understood the meaning of this sentence.

She snuggled into Zhou Jingyan's neck, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the warmth of reunion after a long separation.

When she was still Liu Yiyi, although they both knew each other's true identity, they did not get close for various reasons. There always seemed to be an insurmountable gap in their hearts.

And now, we finally have the chance to take off our disguises and hug each other tightly.

After a long time, Shen Anran gently raised her head and asked, "Liu Shuming, is he okay?"

Zhou Jingyan nodded gently. "Liu Yiyi's body has been buried. Shen Jiahe arranged everything. She also applied for a funding quota from H Company for Liu Shuming."

"H Company?"

Isn’t this the company founded by the heroine Shen Jiahe?

Could it be that because Liu Yiyi got into trouble, this was her compensation to Liu Shuming?

H Company enjoys a high reputation in the industry, and being able to obtain its funding is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Liu Shuming.

She participated in Liu Yiyi's funeral throughout the whole process, so didn't she know that she had no heart?

Shen Anran's uneasiness gradually spread. Zhou Jingyan sensitively noticed her emotional changes. He held her steadily with one hand and touched her head with the other.

"Don't worry, no one knows the real cause of Liu Yiyi's death."

Shen Anran looked up at him, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes, "Thank you."

"Nothing to say?"

There was a hint of teasing in Zhou Jingyan's tone as he raised his eyebrows, obviously not satisfied with this simple thank you.

Shen Anran smiled helplessly, then gently hugged his head and kissed the corner of his mouth.

She smiled and said in a soft, small voice, "Brother Shitou, are you satisfied?"

Without waiting for Zhou Jingyan's reply, Shen Anran continued to speak on her own: "Let's change the name. It always feels weird to call him Brother Shitou."

If someone else heard it, wouldn’t Zhou Jingyan be laughed at?

Zhou Jingyan asked curiously, "Then what do you want to shout?"

"Mr. Zhou?" A cunning light flashed in Shen Anran's eyes.

Zhou Jingyan's expression instantly turned ugly, and he was obviously dissatisfied with this overly formal title.

Seeing this, Shen Anran coughed twice and adjusted his address: "How about I call you Brother Jingyan? I think no one has ever called you that before, right?"

After all, Zhou Jingyan always had a cold face in the past, giving people the impression that he was aloof and difficult to approach. Not to mention having girls around him, he didn't even have many friends.

"Shout again." There was an irresistible temptation in Zhou Jingyan's voice.

Shen Anran playfully repeated in a different tone: "Brother Jingyan? Brother Jingyan..."

The desire in Zhou Jingyan's eyes grew stronger, and that strong possessiveness almost overflowed from his eyes.

Shen Anran noticed something was wrong and poked his shoulder, "Aren't you tired? Put me down."

"Not tired."

"If I don't go back, they might come back to kill me."

Zhou Jingyan held Shen Anran in his arms and walked towards the direction of the vehicle.

They sat in the back seat, and Shen Anran leaned on his shoulder and found a comfortable position.

The vehicle was moving slowly and the atmosphere inside was peaceful.

Shen Anran suddenly remembered something. She looked up and said to Zhou Jingyan, "There's something I forgot to mention. They don't seem to be satisfied with this marriage and are considering how to cancel it."

Zhou Jingyan's expression turned serious, and doubts arose in his heart.

He remembered that Aunt Jiang had warmly invited her parents to return to China to discuss the marriage last time. How come her attitude changed so much in just a short time?

A figure quickly flashed through his mind. That day at the Shen family, he met Shen Jiahe.

Did she say something behind my back?

Zhou Jingyan's eyes became serious and focused. He looked directly into Shen Anran's eyes. "What about you? I want to know what you think."
