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

He's practically a male god. Even though there are still red spots on his face from allergies, anyone can tell that he has well-proportioned features and a deep-set face—he's undeniably handsome.

Xie Jiqing let her pinch him, and after she praised him, his ears slowly turned red. He nodded silently.

"I've been working really hard to lose weight."

Knowing that she doesn't like fat people, she has consistently maintained an exercise routine and controlled her diet over the years.

"Alright, since it was all a misunderstanding, let's sign the settlement agreement and go home as soon as possible."

After the cause and effect of the matter were investigated and clarified, both parties decided to stop pursuing the matter.

Lin Xingyou looked at Cen hope, "hope Bao, are you alright?"

I was so focused on how much Xie Jiqing had changed since he was a boy that I didn't even notice Cen hope was still there.

The fact that Xie Jiqing wasn't a bad person relieved Cen Xi.

"I'm fine."

She spoke gently to Lin Xingyou.

Just as they finished signing the settlement agreement and were about to leave, another shouting sound came from the entrance of the police station.

"Look closely, this is my girlfriend. If you dare to bully my girlfriend, I'll break your teeth!"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Before Cen hope could figure it out, Wei Xingzhou walked in with a woman in his arms.

The girl in his arms was wearing a white dress and looked very frail. After Wei Xingzhou finished scolding people, he lowered his head and gently coaxed the little girl in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. No one will dare to bully you."

A middle-aged man came in with him. He had a beer belly and looked like he had drunk a lot. His face was bruised and swollen, so he must have been beaten up. His nose was still bleeding.

"You fucking wait, I'm going to kill you! Do you even know who's behind me...?"

"How about we try again?"

Wei Xingzhou grabbed a chair from the side and pretended to smash it.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man was reminded of the scene where his head had been pressed down and beaten. He immediately hid behind the policeman, pleading, "Officer, please protect me."

The police officer looked helpless and shouted sternly, "What do you think this place is? Put it down right now!"

Wei Xingzhou cursed under his breath, but the girl in his arms tugged at his arm and said, "Listen to the police."

Only then did they put the chair down.

Turning his head, he saw Cen hope and the other two walking out.

Wei Xingzhou was stunned, never expecting to run into him here. He blinked hard, thinking he was seeing things.

"sister in law?"

Cen hope nodded, and Wei Xingzhou was finally completely certain that it really was her.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Were you bullied?"

Wei Xingzhou frowned, then squinted at Xie Jiqing. "Did you bully my sister-in-law?"

"Okay, just wait and see. I'll call Brother Zhou over right now."

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to reach into his pocket for his phone, but Cen hope quickly stopped him, saying, "No, I wasn't bullied."

Now it seems that he himself is in bigger trouble.

"If you're fighting and causing trouble, come over and talk things out first."

At this moment, the police gave Wei Xingzhou a notification. The girl in his arms shrank back, clearly frightened.

Wei Xingzhou: "You want to lose money, huh? Any amount is fine with me, I can afford it."

"Pah! I don't need your little bit of money!"

The middle-aged man remained hidden behind the police, his face showing no sign of reconciliation.

The police officer said, "In that case, let's notify the family members to come over first."

Wei Xingzhou's expression stiffened, looking rather unpleasant.

He hasn't been getting along well with his family lately. They're trying to arrange a marriage for him, but he refuses, saying he wants to pursue his own happiness. If they knew he'd ended up at the police station because of the girl he's pursuing, they'd be lucky not to ridicule him. How could he possibly end up at the police station?

He scratched his head and looked at Cen hope.

"Sister-in-law, can you do me a favor?"

Cen hope didn't know whether to leave or not, so Lin Xingyou asked her worriedly, "hope Bao, who is this person?"

He doesn't seem to have a very good temper.

Cen hope: "Shang Hanzhou's friend."

"Does CEO Shang have friends whose personalities are completely incompatible with his?"

Lin Xingyou was very surprised.

Wei Xingzhou spoke up, "Sister-in-law, could you please call Brother Zhou and ask him to come over?"

What Cen hope says will definitely be more effective than what he says.

He really didn't have the nerve to ask Shang Hanzhou to come to the police station in the middle of the night to bail him out.

Cen hope actually had a good impression of him, and this favor wasn't too difficult, so she nodded: "Okay, I'll call for you."

Before hitting her, she looked at Lin Xingyou and said, "Youzi, you go back first, I'll come over later."

Knowing that she had things to handle, Lin Xingyou was worried, but thinking that Shang Hanzhou would be coming over later, she replied, "Okay, if anything happens, it's close by, just call me and I'll come right away."

Wei Xingzhou and the middle-aged man who was beaten were both taken to the police station.

Cen hope stood at the door, took out her phone, opened Shang Hanzhou's number, looked at it for a while, and then dialed it.

The other end beeped a few times.

The call was connected.

"Manman, what's wrong?"

The man's deep, magnetic voice traveled through the electric current to Cen hope's ears, causing her to catch her breath slightly. In addition, she could also hear the sound of dripping water.

He should be taking a shower.

Cen hope pursed her lips: "Can you come to the police station now?"

The sound of flowing water has been turned off.

Shang Hanzhou lowered his voice slightly: "Were you bullied?"

"It wasn't me."

Hearing his tone suddenly turn serious, Cen Xi was afraid he would misunderstand, so she explained, "It's Wei Xingzhou, your friend."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Shang Hanzhou gave a lazy "oh," and said, "Whatever."

"..."

Cen hope suddenly fell silent, unsure of what to say.

She now understood why Wei Xingzhou hadn't made that call himself.

Swallowing hard, she explained the situation again: "He got into a fight with someone, which escalated to the police station. I happened to be there when it happened, so he asked me to call you and have you come pick him up."

The man's steady breathing slowly reached my ears through the receiver.

He didn't speak.

Cen hope's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

He suddenly asked, "Why?"

Why?

She didn't understand what that sentence meant.

Then he asked again, "Why are you at the police station?"

This was the first thing that caught his attention.

Cen hope stood there, stunned.

After a while, a deep, aching feeling welled up in her heart. She lowered her curled eyelashes and said softly, "Something happened to my friend, so I came with her."

They didn't ask anything more, only leaving two words: "Wait."

"Sister-in-law, is Brother Zhou coming or not?"

In the hall, Wei Xingzhou was genuinely a little nervous; it would be awkward if Shang Hanzhou didn't show up.

Cen hope put her phone in her bag and went inside. "He's coming."

"I knew it, Zhou-ge would definitely come when you called."

Cen hope did not reply.

But a thought kept popping into his head: actually... he cares about her a little, doesn't he?

Shang Hanzhou arrived faster than expected.

Less than forty minutes later, the black Maybach pulled up in front of the police station.

Cen hope was waiting for him at the door. When the blinding car headlights shone on him, her eyes darted around for a moment. The car door opened, and the man's tall figure slowly appeared in her eyes.

Shang Hanzhou, dressed in a light gray loungewear suit, walked towards her with one hand in his pocket.
