Mr. Shang, please be passionately in love after marriage.

Shang Ruoxue and Grandpa Shang both had smiles on their faces.

The one who couldn't accept it the most was Shang Chenyang. He even forgot that he was afraid of Shang Hanzhou. He grabbed Shang Hanzhou's arm and began to plead, "Cousin, please play another round. I don't believe you will lose."

This is even more painful than him losing.

Shang Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, his deep, dark eyes fixed on Cen hope, listening to her words.

"Let's do it one more time then."

Actually, she also found it hard to believe that Shang Hanzhou would lose.

Another game has officially begun.

Shang Hanzhou didn't seem to be holding back; his brow furrowed slightly, and his hands didn't stop moving. Shang Chenyang also held his breath.

Then he watched helplessly as his men were killed by Cen hope once again.

"Alright, we lost again."

He calmly put down the game controller.

It was getting late, and he must have had a long and tiring journey. He put one arm around Cen hope's soft waist and asked her in a low voice, "Are we staying at the old house tonight?"

Cen hope was a little dazed, but nodded in agreement, "Okay."

"Auntie, Grandpa, shall we go to our room now?"

Before leaving, Cen hope remembered to say goodbye to the two elders.

Grandpa Shang was very happy and told them to leave quickly, "Go on, Grandpa is getting old and can't stay up any longer, I need to go to sleep."

Shang Ruoxue didn't ask them to stay either, saying, "I'm taking these two to bed too."

Shang Chenyang was still staring at the game screen that hadn't been turned off, unable to come to his senses. His brain was buzzing, and he realized for the first time that even his cousin, who was invincible in his eyes, could lose!

You'll lose several more times!

Why is that?!

……

Cen hope used to live in the bedroom of the old house. Sometimes when she came to the old house too late, she would stay and rest.

But this was the first time I had lived with Shang Hanzhou.

There were other people outside just now, but now that the room door is closed, only the two of them are left. They haven't seen each other for half a month. Cen hope touched her nose and felt inexplicably awkward.

The room lights came on, and she glanced around discreetly. After a while, realizing there was nothing much to see, she took the initiative to start a conversation.

"How's the injury on your leg?"

It's been about a month, so everything should be fine by now.

Shang Hanzhou's tall figure walked inside. He tugged at his collar with one hand, his tone indifferent, but he asked in return, "You want to check?"

what.

That's not necessary.

Cen hope shook her head, then habitually pursed her lips again, and said, "Then I'll go take a shower first."

"Together."

A deep voice followed, and Cen hope's throat tightened suddenly. She froze on the spot, never expecting him to say that. Her hands and feet stiffened slightly, and she was at a loss for what to do.

Is he serious?

Just then, there was a knock at the door—"Brother Hanzhou, are you there?"

It's Shang Jiajia; she's come looking for me.

Cen hope's tense heart relaxed for a moment, but Shang Hanzhou's brows furrowed indifferently, as if he didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Shang Jiajia was still knocking on the door: "Brother Hanzhou, I have something I want to ask you."

They sound quite anxious.

Cen hope looked up at him. "Should I go open the door?"

"Need not."

Shang Hanzhou's cold voice was flat as he walked past her, naturally raising his arm to pat her head.

"Go take a shower."

"it is good."

After slowly responding, Cen hope went into the bathroom, while Shang Hanzhou walked to the door and opened it just as Shang Jiajia was about to knock for the third time.

"Brother Hanzhou..."

The door was pulled open, and as soon as Shang Jiajia saw the man's tall figure appear in her eyes, her raised arm froze in mid-air, her heart tightened, her cheeks burned, and the words that were about to come out were swallowed back down her throat.

Shang Hanzhou lowered his gaze expressionlessly, his eyes devoid of any warmth as they fell upon her.

"explain."

Even though it was just one word, Shang Jiajia's heart started racing again. She glanced around the room a few times but didn't see Cen hope. She heard the faint sound of running water coming from the bathroom; Cen Xi had gone to take a shower.

After showering, will they do *that*?

Shang Jiajia's heart began to ache again; she didn't want Shang Hanzhou to leave so soon.

A thought suddenly struck her: "I'm planning to start my own business, but there are many things I'm unclear about. Brother Hanzhou, could you give me some pointers?"

She looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with hope.

Shang Hanzhou lowered his eyes and did not give an answer immediately. Shang Jiajia couldn't stop herself from moving forward and leaning towards him.

The man coldly stepped back, then spoke again, his usually calm voice now even more indifferent: "No time."

The smile on Shang Jiajia's face immediately froze. She hadn't expected Shang Hanzhou to refuse so decisively, without even making an excuse, simply saying "I'm busy."

My cheeks, which were just burning hot, felt like they had been slapped, and a searing pain spread through them.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something more, when Shang Ruoxue's voice came from the corridor. She came out carrying a water glass, "Jiajia, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shang Jiajia immediately replied guiltily, "I have something to ask Brother Hanzhou."

The door to the room in front of me had already been slammed shut without any mercy.

Shang Ruoxue said, "You can ask me anything tomorrow. It's getting late, go back to your room and don't disturb your brother and sister-in-law's rest."

Shang Jiajia could only reply, "I understand, Mom. I'll go back now."

When Cen hope came out after taking a shower, Shang Jiajia was no longer there.

Shang Hanzhou sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed, one hand supporting his forehead, his dark eyes closed, looking as if he were asleep.

Cen hope tiptoed over. The summer in Beijing was hot and humid during the day, but the temperature dropped at night. Moreover, the air conditioning in the room was running at full blast.

Just as she was about to cover him with a thin blanket, the sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes. The moment their eyes met, Cen hope tightened her grip on the blanket. She coughed lightly, feeling uneasy, and casually put the blanket aside.

"I thought you were asleep."

"without."

Shang Hanzhou's voice sounded slightly hoarse.

He stood up, his tall figure casting a gray shadow over Cen hope's head. Caught off guard, she was suddenly put her arm around his waist. "Wait for me."

After saying that, he let go of her hand and strode towards the bathroom, leaving Cen hope standing there in a daze.

Is that what she meant?

Before she could think about it, the WeChat video call started, and Cen hope had no choice but to answer it. It was Lin Xingyou calling.

They've been too busy lately to meet up.

On the other end of the video call, Lin Xingyou lay on the bed, clutching the blanket and wailing, "Xibao, it's been so, so long since we last saw each other!"

Cen hope touched her nose. "It's been more than half a month."

"Hmph, you've forgotten your friends for the sake of women!"

Lin Xingyou spoke in a low, melancholy tone.

Cen hope: "No way, I've been working non-stop lately and haven't taken a single day off. Shang Hanzhou went abroad and only got back tonight."

"Did you rush back tonight specifically?"

Lin Xingyou sensed something unusual and immediately sat up excitedly in bed. "Xibao, then you'll have to stay up all night for love tonight, won't you?"
