On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Returning to her room with the gifts from the old lady, Su Chenxi put the two gifts in the wardrobe, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She wouldn't touch a single penny of the Shen family's property; she would return it all to the Shen family the day she divorced Shen Yanchuan.

Two knocks came at the door. She came out of the dressing room, and as expected, Shen Yanchuan walked in. He was wearing a long silk robe with the front deliberately wide open, exuding masculine charm and a strong sense of temptation.

Su Chenxi's heart skipped a beat. Could this man really be going to consummate their marriage with her?

"Um... I'm a little tired tonight, could we sleep in separate rooms?" Su Chenxi asked.

"What does your tiredness have to do with me sleeping here?" Shen Yanchuan sat on the bed, leaning lazily against the headboard as he looked at her.

Su Chenxi choked for a moment, "I like to sleep quietly."

"You still sleep soundly when I hold you, don't you?"

Su Chenxi bit her red lips guiltily, unable to think of any other excuse to ask him to leave.

"I'm going to take a shower." Su Chenxi went to the dressing room, found a set of pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, she pushed open the door and looked at the man patiently waiting for her on the bed. She sighed inwardly.

Now that her mother and Jiang Liguo are divorced, the psychological burden this marriage placed on her is even heavier.

"Come here." Shen Yanchuan patted the spot next to him.

Su Chenxi lay down on the other side and turned off the light. Seeing that she was a little silent, Shen Yanchuan took the initiative to move closer to her. "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood again?"

"No! I'm just sleepy," Su Chenxi said with her eyes open. When the man's arm wrapped around her waist, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Shen Yanchuan reached out and turned her shoulders to face him. Her tears reflected the outside light, glistening. The man reached out and touched the tear tracks at the corner of her eye. He asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Why are you crying?"

Su Chenxi's nose stung even more, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She sobbed, "Shen Yanchuan, can you please stop being so good to me?"

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes, sat up, and leaned down to examine her. "What did you say?"

Su Chenxi turned her face away, wiping away her tears and choking back sobs, "I just don't want you to be too good to me."

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes, pondering the meaning of her words. He quickly understood. He reached out and turned her shoulders, pinching her chin to force her to face him. "Are you still thinking about divorcing me in a year?"

Su Chenxi's tears, which she had just wiped away, welled up again. She didn't answer, but she tacitly agreed.

Shen Yanchuan snorted in annoyance, "So you still can't forget that guy surnamed Gu?"

Su Chenxi shook her head and retorted, "This has nothing to do with him."

"Was it the Jiang family that coerced you into divorcing me?" Shen Yanchuan pressed again.

Su Chenxi took a deep breath, and in the dim light, her eyes shone with a hurtful light. "It was my own decision. I've calculated it. We have nine months and twenty days left. During these days, I will be a good wife to you until the day our agreement expires."

After saying that, she turned her back to him, as if silently expressing her firm determination.

My determination to divorce him.

Shen Yanchuan's breathing seemed to stop for a few seconds as he watched her back. A strong sense of annoyance surged in his chest, piercing his heart. Various thoughts rushed through his mind, but in the end, he still stubbornly reached out and forcibly pulled her into his arms, gritting his teeth and saying, word by word, "Fine, then you'll do your job as a wife."

After saying that, he wrapped his arms tightly around her and pressed her into his chest.

Su Chenxi tried to hold back her tears, but at that moment it felt like something had pierced her heart, and her throat was sore that she couldn't breathe. She swallowed with a sob in her throat.

Neither of them could fall asleep. Finally, after tucking her in, Shen Yanchuan pushed open the door and left. Su Chenxi's body, buried in the blanket, trembled slightly, and a suppressed sob rose up faintly.

She didn't know why she said such hurtful things. They had kissed on the tennis court that afternoon and had a pleasant dinner together.

So she can be such a despicable person.

That night, Su Chenxi couldn't sleep until after 2 a.m. Shen Yanchuan didn't come back to sleep, and she had a lot of wild thoughts. She finally drifted off to sleep around 3 a.m.

early morning.

When the maid went upstairs to clean, she found Shen Yanchuan sitting in the living room smoking, with an empty bottle of liquor on the table. She quickly greeted him, "Second Young Master, would you like to go back to your room to sleep?"

Shen Yanchuan raised his bloodshot eyes and glanced at her. "There's no need to clean here for now. Don't disturb the Second Young Mistress's rest."

The maid nodded hurriedly and went downstairs, wondering to herself, "Did the second young master and the second young mistress have a fight?"

However, seeing how much the second young master cares about the second young mistress's rest, it's clear that the couple's quarrels are resolved quickly, and their relationship gets better the more they argue.

Su Chenxi slept until 8:30. Her biological clock made it impossible for her to sleep in. She glanced at the time, quickly got up, washed, and got ready to go to the company.

She came out wearing a suit and carrying a bag. Just as she walked into the living room, she suddenly noticed someone sitting on the sofa.

She turned her head and looked over, her beautiful eyes widening slightly. Shen Yanchuan was sleeping on the sofa with his head on his arm. She walked to the table and found four or five cigarette butts in the ashtray, and an empty bottle of whiskey next to it.

Looking at the man's face, which clearly showed he had stayed up all night, Su Chenxi bit her red lips and sighed sadly.

It seems he didn't go back to his room to sleep last night, but instead sat here smoking and drinking.

She leaned down and softly called his name, "Yan Chuan".

The man opened his reddened eyes and saw that she was dressed to go out. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you going to work?"

"Go back to your room and sleep!" Su Chenxi advised him. The air was a bit chilly in November.

Shen Yanchuan sat up, seemingly obediently going back to his room to sleep. Seeing this, Su Chenxi turned to leave.

Her wrist was quickly grabbed by a large hand. Su Chenxi was startled. Shen Yanchuan stood up and, without saying a word, held her hand and said, "Come back to my room to sleep."

"Now?" Su Chenxi was taken aback, and then she refused, "No, I have to go to work."

"I approve your leave." Shen Yanchuan didn't turn around, and led her into his master bedroom. He closed the door, not allowing her to leave.

Su Chenxi looked at his messy black hair, bloodshot eyes, and the lingering smell of alcohol and cigarettes on his body. It seemed that overnight, this man had made himself very decadent.

"You rest well at home, I'll be back early this afternoon," Su Chenxi said, deciding to go to work anyway.

It wasn't that her work was that important, but rather that after what she said last night, she didn't want to face him.

"You're not allowed to leave." After saying that, Shen Yanchuan reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. He whispered domineeringly, "You're not allowed to go anywhere except to stay with me."

Su Chenxi reached out and pushed him away in disgust, "Go take a shower! You smell too strongly of smoke and alcohol."

Shen Yanchuan was stunned, his heart was stabbed again, and this girl was even looking down on him?

"I'm going to take a shower, you're not allowed to leave," Shen Yanchuan demanded domineeringly.

Su Chenxi nodded, "Okay, go take a shower!"

Watching the man enter the bathroom, Su Chenxi quietly went to the door, turned the doorknob, and went out to guard it.

She went to the garage, got her usual car, and sent a text message to someone: "Let's both calm down today!"

After saying that, Su Chenxi stepped on the gas and sped out of the garage, heading towards the main road halfway down the mountain.

In the bathroom, a man who had just washed off the stench of his body walked out wrapped in a towel. Looking at the empty room, he gritted his teeth, grabbed his phone to check a message, and headed to the dressing room. Ten minutes later, he quickly pushed open the door and came out, clutching a suit jacket in his hand.

She runs away, he just chases after her.
