When the first snow fell in Beijing.

Cen hope happened to be working overtime at the hospital that day. By the time she got off work, the snow outside had already piled up on the ground like a thick blanket.

This year's first snowfall was heavier than in previous years.

"Dr. Cen, see you tomorrow."

Xu You was working overtime just like her tonight. After finally getting off work, she managed to muster the energy to say hello.

Seeing that she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, Cen hope said, "You should go back and rest."

I have to come to work early tomorrow morning.

Xu You's face was ashen.

"There's no time to rest, especially given the weather."

Back when I was in school, I just thought snow was so romantic.

Now that I'm at work, when it snows, I feel like the sky is falling.

Isn't this just God making things worse?

The subway has been shut down for a long time. She didn't drive here today, and she doesn't even know if she can get a taxi now.

Xu You was extremely anxious. Looking at the snow still falling outside the window, half of her sleepiness had dissipated.

"Dr. Cen, how are you getting home later?"

She remembered that Cen Xi didn't usually drive to the hospital.

Cen hope looked down as she replied to a message.

Snowing.

Shang Hanzhou said he would come to pick her up.

"My husband is here to pick me up."

Xu You immediately shut her mouth. That's right. With President Shang around, even if it's snowing or hailing, they'll find a way to get her home.

Xu You gave a wry smile: "Sorry to bother you."

Cen hope: "Get in the car with me later, I'll give you a ride."

Xu You's nerves immediately tensed up, recalling the scene in Hengsha Village where Shang Hanzhou personally drove over to pick her up.

Mr. Shang is actually quite easy to talk to.

However, it's so late, wouldn't it be suspicious if she got on the bus so abruptly, like being a third wheel?

Just then, I saw Liang Xian come out of the elevator.

Xu You hurriedly chased after him.

"Dr. Liang, wait for me!"

She decided to hitch a ride with Liang Xian. Xu You turned to Cen hope and said, "Dr. Cen, Dr. Liang and I are leaving now. You should go home early too, don't keep President Shang waiting."

She ran very fast.

Before Cen hope could even say goodbye, he had vanished without a trace.

The Maybach was parked at the hospital's main entrance.

It's still quite a walk from here. Because of the snow and the cold weather, not many people came out of the courtyard, and the road was quiet.

Cen hope saw the familiar Maybach in the distance.

Shang Hanzhou got out of the car, opened a large black umbrella, snowflakes fell on the umbrella, and he walked towards her.

Just as Cen Xi was about to wave to him, a sharp voice rang in his ear—"Go to hell!"

An Suqin emerged from the bushes by the roadside.

He was still gripping a fruit knife tightly in his hand.

Cen hope was caught off guard, but reacted quickly. When An Suqin rushed over with the fruit knife in her hand, she took a step back and pushed her hard.

The sharp blade grazed her arm.

Luckily, I was wearing a thick winter coat, which only tore a hole in the fabric, causing the cotton filling to fall out and flutter in the air with the wind.

Seeing that her first attempt had failed, An Suqin's hand holding the fruit knife trembled even more violently. She gritted her teeth and charged at Cen hope a second time.

But this time, they still failed.

Shang Hanzhou arrived just in time, knocking her knife away with his black umbrella. The knife crashed into the snow with a thud, leaving a dent.

Before Cen hope could react, someone had already put their arm around her shoulder.

Shang Hanzhou's face was tense, and there was lingering fear in his eyes.

"You bitch! You bitch!"

An Suqin glared at her fiercely, cursing under her breath.

Cen hope pursed her lips, not understanding why she would suddenly come to the hospital tonight, and even bring a fruit knife.

When she first met An Suqin, she knew that An Suqin didn't like her, but she could understand it. She wasn't Cen Ning, so it would be strange if An Suqin liked her.

Over the years, however, the two have kept to themselves.

At most, there would be occasional unpleasantness when she returned to the Cen family, but she never took it to heart.

"It's all your fault! You stole everything from Ningning!"

An Suqin's eyes were filled with resentment.

Cen Ning's illness has relapsed.

This time the situation is even worse than before.

Everything she has now should belong to Cen Ning, so why is her daughter suffering so much?

An Suqin's eyes were red, and she wished she could rush forward and fight with her, but Shang Hanzhou was protecting her, so she couldn't get close.

Upon hearing this, Cen hope did not respond.

She didn't feel that she owed Cen Ning anything.

She has never done anything to harm the Cen family.

"Ms. An!"

His cold, sharp voice carried a fierce edge in the vast snowy night as Shang Hanzhou declared, "My wife has never taken anything from any of you!"

An Suqin was stunned by his tone and forgot to speak for a moment. After a while, she pleaded, "Hanzhou, you and Ningning were engaged, Ningning..."

When Cen Ning was mentioned, An Suqin covered her face and cried.

"Her illness has relapsed! This time, I don't know if she'll survive..."

She was filled with resentment, wondering why her daughter couldn't have a smooth life.

Why is it Cen Ning who is sick, and not Cen hope?

On what grounds?

An Suqin was trembling all over, whether from the cold or something else, she didn't know: "Could you go see Ningning? Ningning is so pitiful, so very pitiful..."

His words were filled with heartache for his daughter.

Shang Hanzhou's face was cold as he scoffed, "You feel sorry for Cen Ning, but I feel sorry for my wife too!"

She was almost injured by that fruit knife just now.

He dared not imagine what the consequences would have been if Cen hope hadn't managed to dodge in time.

Shang Hanzhou said in a deep voice, "Cen Ning's illness was not caused by my wife. My wife doesn't owe any of you anything."

"I have already called the police. It's intentional homicide, Ms. An. The law will give you and my wife an explanation."

After saying that, he didn't linger for another second, protecting Cen hope to his side and not letting An Suqin touch her even slightly.

An Suqin closed her eyes in despair, gritting her teeth as she watched them walk away side by side.

What should we do about Ningning?

……

Got in the car.

The car's heater was on, and warmth swept in.

The jacket started to feel hot, and since the sleeves were already torn, Cen hope simply took it off and put it aside.

Behind her, Shang Hanzhou suddenly opened his arms and hugged her tightly. She blinked and turned her head to ask him.

"What's wrong?"

He seemed to be trembling.

Cen hope couldn't help but find it amusing. "I'm fine."

As the person involved, she didn't feel scared at all, so why was he more nervous than her?

How could the renowned CEO be so timid?

Shang Hanzhou rested his chin on her slender shoulder, his breath coming out slowly, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Thank goodness you're alright."

A simple sentence brought tears to Cen hope's eyes.

In the ordinary course of life.

Yet they could feel their feelings for each other gradually warming up.

"Yes, everything will be fine."

She touched his face, and the more time she spent with him, the more she realized that Shang Hanzhou lacked a sense of security even more than she did.

"Full of it."

He said in a deep voice, "When I was little, my parents passed away, and I grew up with my grandfather and aunt."

For the first time, he laid bare his innermost thoughts and revealed them to her.

"Actually, I also envy other people who have their parents with them."

But he had to restrain himself.

Only in this way can he be worthy of being the head of the Yasen Group and put the minds of Old Master Shang and Shang Ruoxue at ease.

"But I'm not envious anymore, because I have you, and you're all I have."

Therefore, he couldn't bear to lose her.

A sudden, aching, tingling sensation shot through Cen hope's chest. She turned around to face him, and a few seconds later, tilted her head and smiled at him.

"wrong."

She corrected him, "You have a mom and dad too."

Shang Hanzhou's eyes were unfathomable.

She said, "My parents and brother are all waiting for us to come back to Jiangcheng for the Chinese New Year. My mom is especially biased. These past few days, when we video chat, she only asks me what I like to eat, and doesn't ask me anything else."

Speaking of this, Cen hope was actually a little jealous.

Yu Ping really liked Shang Hanzhou as her son-in-law; she could tell when he went to Jiangcheng last time.

This moment.

Shang Hanzhou's heart was instantly filled.

He has a wife and parents.

In the future, he and his young wife will also have a baby together.

He and Cen hope share a home.
