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

Chapter 7 Deciding to Go Home

Shen Nian stopped in her tracks.

Shen Ximan, who was behind him, also saw Chu Yunyi. She skipped over to him and took his arm. "Yunyi~ Don't you have class this afternoon? Let's go back together."

The girl's sweet, delicate voice made Shen Nian feel physically nauseous.

Chu Yunyi did not answer Shen Ximan's question and walked straight towards Shen Nian.

Shen Nian watched as the two people walked up to her.

Chu Yunyi looked at her and said, "Niannian, let's go back together. Tonight is Uncle Shen's birthday banquet."

“Yes, Niannian, let’s go back together. Dad will be very happy to see you,” Shen Ximan chimed in, acting like a good older sister.

Shen Nian bit her lip, stubbornly remaining silent.

Seeing Shen Ximan intimately linking arms with Chu Yunyi was not only an eyesore to her, but also a wound to her heart.

Clearly... she was the one who met Chu Yunyi first.

Chu Yunyi is half a year older than her. They were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and their parents had arranged their marriage long ago...

Shen Nian had always believed that she would marry Chu Yunyi when she grew up.

When did their relationship begin to change?

It was probably after her mother passed away and Shen Ximan appeared in her life.

Shen Ximan's grades were poor, and she failed to get into university even after repeating a year.

After she and her mother entered the family, Shen Nian's father, Shen Guoqiang, spent a lot of money and used many connections to get Shen Ximan into A University as well, the same school as Shen Nian and Chu Yunyi.

From then on, Shen Ximan frequently pestered Chu Yunyi.

Shen Nian became somewhat depressed because she couldn't accept the blow of her mother's death.

In addition, her father brought Shen Ximan and Lu Jiao into the house right after her mother's burial. After a big fight with her father, Shen Nian moved into the school dormitory and has hardly ever gone back in the past three years. Every time she goes back, she makes a scene.

She couldn't stand the way the mother and daughter were putting on airs and acting fake in front of their father.

Every time she made a scene, her father became more disappointed in her.

Her father already felt guilty towards Shen Ximan, feeling that he hadn't raised her after she was born.

After Shen Nian made a scene, he liked Shen Ximan, who was sensible and considerate in front of him, even more.

Later, during various holidays or school breaks,

No one called Shen Nian to come home.

Shen Guoqiang's slightest sense of guilt for cheating on Shen Nian has vanished.

Although her father still sent her living expenses and tuition fees on time, she didn't touch a single penny.

When her mother was still alive, she received enough money to cover her tuition for the next few years, and she earned her living expenses by doing odd jobs.

She has had no home since her mother passed away.

That villa became Shen Ximan's home.

Actually, at first, Chu Yunyi didn't want to pay any attention to Shen Ximan either.

I don't know when it started, but Shen Nian told him that Shen Ximan had thrown away all her things in her room, taken over her room, and even stole her father.

Chu Yunyi began to persuade her, "Niannian, Manman is still your sister. Your aunt has passed away. Can't you try to get along with her and Aunt Lu?"

At that time, her mother had passed away only a year earlier.

You see, everyone has long forgotten about her.

Her father took Shen Ximan and Lu Jiao to various public occasions to introduce Shen Ximan as the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Even Chu Yunyi told her to get along well with them.

At that moment, Shen Nian felt utterly hopeless. She asked herself why the people who were once closest to her were on Shen Ximan's side.

Is there really something wrong with me? Am I really bad?

Should she forgive him...?

She went to see a psychologist on her own for a while before she slowly recovered.

She wasn't the one who made the mistake.

Why should she forgive him?!

Later, her relationship with Chu Yunyi became lukewarm.

Shen Ximan and Chu Yunyi are getting closer and closer...

"Niannian, do you have class this afternoon? If you do, I'll take Manman home and pick you up later." Chu Yunyi spoke again when Shen Nian didn't respond.

Shen Nian didn't even look up or glance at the two of them, and said indifferently, "No need."

Then he walked past them toward the dormitory.

The voices of Shen Ximan and Chu Yunyi could still be heard behind them, fading into the distance...

"My younger sister has a really strange temper. Last night a friend said he ran into her at a hotel, but I don't know what she was doing there... Look at the clothes she was wearing... I hope she doesn't try to take shortcuts for money..."

Shen Ximan said, stopping short of making a point.

Chu Yunyi watched Shen Nian's retreating figure, his brows furrowed, his expression growing increasingly grim...

"Let's go, Yunyi, let's go back early, or my dad will be unhappy." Shen Ximan glanced triumphantly in Shen Nian's direction, then pulled Chu Yunyi toward the school gate.

Chu Yunyi is already interning at his family's company, and his father bought him a car worth over a million yuan.

Among these poor students.

He is considered one of the best.

Chu Yunyi's car was parked at the school gate. Shen Ximan pulled Chu Yunyi over, and amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, she opened the passenger door and got in.

She enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention and being high above others.

Shen Ximan glanced at Chu Yunyi sitting in the driver's seat, her eyes revealing an air of unwavering confidence.

Shen Nian returned to her dormitory, but there was no one there.

She got along well with her roommates, but none of the three of them were from Jiangcheng.

The last exam of this semester was finished last week, and all three roommates went home.

She changed out of her clothes, carefully folded them, and put them in the closet.

She didn't expect the dress to be so expensive; she definitely wouldn't be able to wear it anymore.

After I finished packing, I realized that my phone was still stored at the hotel front desk.

After changing into her dress last night, she didn't have any pockets to put her phone in, so she left it at the hotel reception along with the dress she had changed out of.

Shen Nian rushed out again, took a bus, and went to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, I successfully retrieved the bag from last night; my clothes and phone were inside.

Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

Losing your phone would be a huge loss.

She walked out of the hotel with the bag in her hand, and her phone rang.

It was her long-lost father calling her.

Shen Nian frowned and did not answer the phone.

Today is her father's birthday.

She didn't want to go back.

Shen Nian didn't press the call button until the phone stopped ringing.

She put her phone in her pocket and walked towards the bus stop.

She had to go to work at the restaurant in the afternoon.
