Su Chenxi almost instinctively denied it, "No, I wasn't dreaming."

To her surprise, those words caused the man's eyes to narrow even more, and he scoffed, "Is he the material for your dreams every night?"

Su Chenxi blinked, her pretty face flushing. "I already promised you that I wouldn't have any thoughts about him during our marriage."

The man's face turned utterly ugly, and he sneered, "Oh! So it seems I'm the one who's hindering your happiness?"

Su Chenxi felt like this man had eaten a bomb tonight. Why was he being so aggressive towards her as soon as he got back? Forget it, she wasn't going to reason with someone who was on fire.

Besides, he should know very well that they are in a marriage of convenience! Why make things so difficult for her?

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep now!" After saying that, Su Chenxi turned around and lay down in the quilt, with her back to him.

Shen Yanchuan rubbed his cheek, feeling frustrated that he hadn't won the argument. Was this woman's way of solving problems to cower like a turtle?

He walked toward the bathroom while unbuttoning his shirt.

Su Chenxi's mind was also a bit of a mess, with thoughts wandering but unable to grasp the main point.

Twenty minutes later, she heard the sound of a sliding door coming from the bathroom behind her. A moment later, she heard footsteps and felt a heavy weight on the other side of the bed.

Shen Yanchuan went to bed.

Su Chenxi couldn't help but subtly shift her body, trying to keep herself as far away from him as possible.

The man's eagle-like gaze swept over her coldly, and then he yanked the blanket off her, forcefully taking it away from her.

Su Chenxi turned her head and looked at him with her beautiful eyes in protest, but soon silently fell asleep again, sighing inwardly, "This life of living as a dependent is really not easy!"

"Why are you so far away from me? Come closer to bed." The man's voice came in a commanding tone.

"No!" Su Chenxi refused sullenly.

"Come here," the man commanded a second time.

A surge of resentment welled up inside Su Chenxi, "I don't want to."

Snap!

The lights are off.

Su Chenxi felt a little wronged, but the next second, her arm was grabbed by the man, and she was pulled into a warm chest by a force. A gruff male voice came from beside her ear, "Why are you so stubborn?"

Su Chenxi felt resentful. It was clearly him who hadn't given her a friendly look when he came back, yet he was blaming her?

"It's pressing on my hair," Su Chenxi said, annoyed.

The man raised his arm slightly, and Su Chenxi gathered her long hair, turned her back to him, and obediently lay down next to him to sleep.

Su Chenxi was already sleepy by this time, and now, after being wronged, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, even though there was a super handsome man next to her who drives women crazy.

This is the man that all the socialites in the country dream of!

She was asleep, and the man behind her had his high, straight nose pressed against her hair, smelling her fragrance. He felt his chest rise and fall, and in the dim light, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his eyes burned with an undisguised intensity.

But everything is suppressed, restrained, and kept hidden.

early morning.

Su Chenxi continued to appear as a pillow, sleeping in the man's arms, clinging to his shoulders, her legs draped over his waist, while his arm encircled her waist, as if they had both found a comfortable sleeping position with each other.

Su Chenxi opened her eyes, her pretty face flushed, and she first looked down on herself for sleeping like this.

Wait, she had to get up before the man woke up.

However, as soon as she moved, the still-sleeping man warned in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."

Su Chenxi looked up, and the man opened his eyes, his bright and captivating gaze suggesting he had been awake for quite some time.

When Su Chenxi met his gaze, her heart pounded like a drum. She hurriedly lowered her head, moved her legs away from his waist, and did the same with her hands.

"I'm up." After saying that, Su Chenxi lifted his arm and crawled out.

As Shen Yanchuan watched her retreating figure, he swallowed hard, trying his best to suppress some emotion.

However, a strong reaction occurred under the silk pajama bottoms.

Damn it, if this keeps up, he's going to have trouble sleeping.

Today, the old lady hired a wedding planning company to come to her home. Both of them were at home, and the old lady let the two young people decide what style of wedding they wanted and where they planned to hold it.

"She can make the decision." Shen Yanchuan looked at Su Chenxi.

The wedding company staff immediately looked at Su Chenxi with enthusiasm, "Second Young Madam, you make the decision!"

Su Chenxi blinked. Didn't he agree to the wedding? Why did he dump the task on her?

"Okay, let me take a look!" Su Chenxi nodded.

"Grandma, I have to go on a business trip and will probably be back in three days. Let Chenxi make all the decisions about the wedding," Shen Yanchuan said to the old lady.

Seeing her second grandson so busy, the old lady nodded with concern, "Okay, take care to rest, don't overwork yourself."

"I know." Shen Yanchuan stood up and prepared to leave.

Su Chenxi stood up. "I'll see you out."

Shen Yanchuan nodded, and the two walked out of the living room and stood at the door, while Zhou Youchen waited by the car.

"While I'm gone for a few days, please take care of Grandma. If anything happens, call me and I'll come back as soon as possible," Shen Yanchuan instructed in a low voice.

Su Chenxi nodded, "Okay, don't worry! I'll take good care of your grandma."

Shen Yanchuan frowned and reached out to pinch her cheek. Su Chenxi glared at him in pain, "Just talk, why are you pinching me?"

Shen Yanchuan said irritably, "You are not allowed to use the words 'your grandma' in front of my grandma from now on."

Su Chenxi was stunned for a moment, and Zhou Youchen next to her couldn't help but laugh. "Second Young Madam, what the Second Young Master means is that we're family, so let's not talk like strangers."

Su Chenxi could only mumble, "I know."

Shen Yanchuan took out his wallet, pulled out a black card, and handed it to her. "Take it."

Su Chenxi blinked. She had never seen such a black card before. Could this be the legendary black card with no spending limit?

"Can I use it?" Su Chenxi blinked and asked.

Zhou Youchen, who was standing to the side, chimed in, "Second Young Mistress, feel free to use the Second Young Master's black card. Don't try to save him money."

Su Chenxi didn't dare to accept it, and said politely, "Thank you, but I don't need it. I don't need the money."

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes at her, forcefully grabbed her hand, and shoved the card into her palm. "Didn't you want to investigate someone's entire family history? How can you do that without money?"

Su Chenxi's pupils widened, and she stared blankly at the man getting into the car, her mind going blank.

How did he know? Was he there when she confronted Xia Xiaomeng last night? Wouldn't that mean he knew she hit someone?

"Shen Yanchuan... wait a minute," Su Chenxi called out.

But the man in the car urged his assistant, "Drive."

Zhou Youchen immediately stepped on the gas, driving out of the courtyard as he asked, "Second Young Master, don't you want to hear what the Second Young Mistress has to say to you?"

Shen Yanchuan curled the corner of his lips slightly. "Ignore her."
