A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Moze was stunned.

For a moment, I didn't react.

Shen Nian regretted asking the question as soon as it came out.

Making such a request without even knowing whether the older man is single is incredibly reckless and impulsive.

"I, I, I was just saying it casually, you, you..."

Shen Nian stammered as she tried to explain, when she suddenly heard Mo Ze's reply.

"can."

Shen Nian looked up at the person on the sofa, stunned, "Huh?"

Moze stood up and walked towards her.

He repeated earnestly, "I said, yes. I can marry you."

Marriage was never part of Moze's plans.

but......

Looking at the dazed Shen Nian, he felt a sudden pang of tenderness and agreed without much thought.

"When are we going to get our marriage certificate?" Mo Ze then asked.

It took Shen Nian a while to find her voice, "Uncle, wouldn't you like to... reconsider? Marriage is... a big deal, we... I..."

Moze suddenly smiled.

Shen Nian was completely stunned.

She then realized that the saying "a smile that can topple a city" could also be used to describe a boy...

Mo Ze laughed and said, "What? Did you change your mind about getting married?"

Shen Nian shook her head.

"That's good. Let's find some time to get our marriage certificate together," Mo Ze said.

After completing the discharge procedures, Mo Ze took a taxi to send Shen Nian back to school.

Before getting out of the car, he said to Shen Nian, "Call me when you're going to get the marriage certificate."

Shen Nian obediently replied, "...Okay..."

Then got off the car.

Watching the car disappear around the corner, she turned around blankly and walked back to her dormitory.

I felt a little lightheaded.

Then he shook his head vigorously, muttering to himself, "The uncle must be joking, just kidding..."

She couldn't believe that someone would agree to marry her so casually.

After returning to the dormitory and changing my clothes.

Shen Nian went out immediately.

There was one thing she needed to confirm.

She went to find a retired employee of the Shen Group.

Chen Ping, former director of the legal department.

Shen Nian arrived at the residential building in the old town and found Chen Ping's residence.

I knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered.

She turned away, somewhat disappointed.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Chen Ping downstairs, who had just returned from grocery shopping.

Chen Ping recognized Shen Nian at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Nian Nian?"

Shen Nian went up to her, "Aunt Chen~"

"What are you doing here?" Chen Ping asked warmly, pulling Shen Nian upstairs with her.

She now lives alone; her daughter is abroad.

After entering the house, Chen Ping poured water for Shen and then prepared to wash the fruit.

Shen Nian quickly grabbed her, "Aunt Chen, please don't bother."

Chen Ping sat down.

Looking at Shen Nian, he sighed and said, "Nian Nian has grown up. Your dad...sigh~"

When Chen Ping retired, Shen Nian's mother was still alive. She had only heard about what happened afterward and never expected that Shen Guoqiang would bring other women to her door so quickly.

Looking at Shen Nian now, she felt nothing but heartache.

Shen Nian took the initiative to speak, "Aunt Chen, actually, I came to see you today because I have something I want to ask you."

"Well, you said."

"Have you heard that my mother left me shares, but I can only get them if I get married before I turn 22?" Shen Nian asked directly.

"Before I left, I think I heard your mother mention that you and the young master of the Chu family were childhood sweethearts and had an engagement, which was supposed to be your dowry. But I haven't seen any specific documents, so I'm not sure if there was such a document in the end," Chen Ping said after recalling for a moment.

Shen Nian nodded, basically confirming that it was probably true.

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Chen." Shen Nian stood up to leave.

Chen Ping held her hand and said, "Niannian, if you need any help, you can ask Auntie for assistance. Auntie can handle any professional issues."

Chen Ping knew some things about the Shen family and felt sorry for Shen Nian from the bottom of her heart.

Shen Nian said gratefully, "Yes, Aunt Chen, I will definitely ask you for help if I need it."

After leaving Aunt Chen's house.

Shen Nian went directly to the restaurant where she worked.

Everyone is busy cleaning up now, preparing to welcome the guests for the evening.

The restaurant where she works doesn't have much business during the day, but it gets very crowded at night, which is why they hire temporary workers like her to help out at night.

As soon as Shen Nian walked in, Wu Zhenzhen, who was working the summer job with her, came running to find her.

Wu Zhenzhen is also a student at University A, but she is two years younger than her and will be a sophomore when the semester starts.

"Sister Niannian, why didn't you come yesterday?"

"I had to go home yesterday," Shen Nian explained with a smile.

"Oh, oh, oh." Wu Zhenzhen nodded vigorously, then whispered in Shen Nian's ear, "You weren't here yesterday, and the boss was distracted. He was just asking if you were here yet."

Shen Nian gently patted Wu Zhenzhen's shoulder, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I really didn't make this up. If you don't believe me, ask anyone else. See if the boss was distracted all night yesterday," Wu Zhenzhen explained anxiously, then saw the restaurant owner walking towards them.

"Sister Niannian, the boss is here. He's definitely looking for you. I'm going to get back to work." With that, she dashed off.

Shen Nian originally wanted to slip away as well.

The restaurant owner, Song Heng, called out to him as he walked over.

"Shen Nian."

Shen Nian turned around and greeted him with a smile, "Boss~"

"Where did you go last night...?" Song Heng asked tentatively.

He called Shen Nian last night, but a man answered.

The other party simply said that Shen Nian was not available to answer the phone and then hung up.

He didn't know the other person's identity, nor did he know where Shen Nian had gone last night.

I thought about this all night.

Upon seeing Shen Nian, he couldn't wait to ask her.

They no longer cared whether their status was appropriate or not.

Shen Nian paused for a moment before replying, "I... went home."

Song Heng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

So they went home.

The person who answered the phone must be one of her family members.

"Oh~" Song Heng replied, "I thought you weren't from Jiangcheng."

Shen Nian almost never mentioned any information about her family, and she would work at the restaurant every time she had a holiday, never going home.

In addition, she is very frugal in her daily life and works hard to earn money whenever she has time.

Song Heng always thought she was from another province and that her family was struggling financially.

I never expected that she was from Jiangcheng.

"I'm from Jiangcheng, but... I don't really like going home." Shen Nian didn't explain further.

There's no need to talk about your own family matters with others.

She put on an apron and said to Song Heng, "Boss, I'll get back to work now." Then she turned and went to the kitchen to help.

Song Heng wanted to say something more.

Shen Nian has already walked away.

When they arrived in the kitchen, Wu Zhenzhen was tidying up the tableware, and Shen Nian went over to help her.

Wu Zhenzhen, ever the gossip, inquired, "Sister Niannian, what did the boss say to you?"

While carefully tidying up the tableware, Shen Nian answered, "Nothing, they just asked me where I went last night."

"Gone?"

"No more."

Wu Zhenzhen tilted her head thoughtfully, "Wait a minute~ I thought the boss was going to confess his feelings to you..."
