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

After dinner, Shang Chenyang kept pestering her to play games.

Cen hope had promised, so she had no choice but to stay and play games with him.

I'll stay at the old house tonight.

After playing for more than forty minutes, Shang Chenyang won more than last time. Every time he won, he would ask, "Did you let me win?"

Otherwise, how could they have won so easily?

Cen hope was indeed quite absent-minded tonight. Seeing her listless appearance, Shang Chenyang said after winning another round, "I'm not playing anymore. We'll play again next time when you're in the mood."

Otherwise, his victory wouldn't be honorable.

Shang Ruoxue sat beside the two of them watching them play games, occasionally feeding them some fruit.

Shang Chenyang was finally ready to go upstairs to do his homework.

It's getting late.

Cen hope looked up at the clock hanging in the living room and was about to say goodbye to Shang Ruoxue and go upstairs when Shang Ruoxue called her back.

"Little Xixi, let's have a chat."

When she said she wanted to talk, Cen Xi felt inexplicably nervous.

Shang Ruoxue laughed and used a fork to put a piece of cantaloupe into her mouth. "Am I scary? Don't worry, Auntie is very easy to talk to."

Summer in Beijing is gradually coming to an end, and the nights are getting cooler.

The flowers in the flowerbed looked withered.

Cen hope stood in the garden on the first floor, and Shang Ruoxue found one of her own cloaks for her to wear. "Aren't you cold?"

She clutched the corner of her cloak and shook her head. "I'm not cold, thank you, Auntie."

Shang Ruoxue pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "Did you and Hanzhou have a fight?"

When the two came to the old house this time, even she sensed that there must be something wrong between them.

When I came over last time, there was a hint of closeness between us.

But this time, there was a clear sense of estrangement between the two sides.

They don't look like a married couple at all.

They looked like a young couple who had just had a fight.

Cen hope was still chewing on the cantaloupe that Shang Ruoxue kept feeding her, her eyelashes lowered as she slowly pondered her words.

She didn't know what the current situation was between her and Shang Hanzhou.

He was unhappy last night when he took her back to Lin Xingyou's house from the hospital, but she wasn't quite sure why.

She didn't speak, so Shang Ruoxue continued, "Let me guess, did that scoundrel Hanzhou tell you that you should treat each other with respect after marriage?"

Cen hope paused in her bite of the cantaloupe, puffing out her cheeks as she looked at her in surprise.

"Auntie, how did you know?"

Her words were mumbled and unclear; she assumed that only she and Shang Hanzhou knew what she was saying.

Shang Ruoxue was speechless. "I practically raised Hanzhou myself, how could I not know what he's thinking? Just ignore what he said, don't take it to heart at all."

When Cen Ning was diagnosed with a brain tumor and needed to go abroad for surgery, the business owners were the first to know that the Cen family had chosen to marry another daughter into the family.

Both Old Master Shang and she agreed that the Cen family's actions were dishonorable.

How can you just change your marriage partner after agreeing to it?

She had specifically asked Shang Hanzhou for his opinion. If he was unwilling, the marriage with the Cen family could be called off, and the Shang family could simply provide more compensation.

Shang Hanzhou was in a meeting at the time. When he received her call and heard what she said, he just casually replied with an "oh".

He didn't care.

To be precise, he doesn't care at all who he will marry in the future.

He didn't care whether it was Cen Ning or anyone else.

For him, changing his chosen marriage partner and then spending time getting to know new ones is simply a waste of time.

"Little Xixi, Hanzhou has always been stubborn since he was a child."

Shang Ruoxue looked up at the sky. The weather in Beijing had been good lately, making the night sky even more dazzling, with stars twinkling in the sky.

She said, "When I was little, around the time my older brother and sister-in-law, who were Hanzhou's parents, had just passed away, I asked him if he would cry. He told me with a straight face that he wouldn't shed a single tear."

At this point, Shang Ruoxue laughed again and turned to look at Cen hope.

Do you think he cried?

Cen hope frowned as she thought. She couldn't imagine Shang Hanzhou crying. He had handsome features, but he was usually expressionless.

I hope... I won't cry.

Shang Ruoxue gave the answer: "He cried! He cried really hard."

A person hid in a room, in a corner of the house where no one could see them, crying until their eyes and mouth were swollen.

Even after being caught, he still stubbornly insisted that he cried while watching TV.

But he has never liked watching TV since he was a child.

Shang Ruoxue and Grandpa Shang didn't expose him, and went along with his words, tacitly agreeing that he really cried because he watched TV.

Cen hope opened her lips slightly, never expecting him to have this side to him.

Shang Ruoxue continued chatting casually with her: "Hanzhou's parents passed away early, and he is all alone in his generation. The family's group relies on him, so he is more mature than his peers."

While Wei Xingzhou and Sheng Fan were traveling all over the world during their holidays, Shang Hanzhou was mostly engaged in various skills training.

He never complained about the hardships or fatigue, taking it for granted that these were things he should bear. He had never experienced romantic love, so he naturally assumed that mutual respect was the best state for a married couple.

"Little Xixi, Hanzhou is five years older than you. Logically speaking, he should be considerate and good at coaxing people, but well..."

At this point, a hint of disdain flashed in Shang Ruoxue's eyes, and she shook her head, saying, "He's never been in a relationship, and he's incredibly clumsy with words. Of course, I'm not saying this to make you tolerate these bad things about him."

"In other words, if there's something he did that upset you, just tell him directly. Even if he doesn't say it, he'll definitely do it."

The stars in the distant sky are still twinkling.

Hearing these words, Cen hope was subtly moved.

She knew that Shang Hanzhou was the type of person who always did more than he said, so perhaps they should have a proper talk.

At least let her know why he suddenly got angry last night.

"Thank you, Auntie."

She expressed her sincere gratitude.

Shang Ruoxue winked at her, "Why are you being so polite?"

"By the way, if you really can't stand his stubborn and inflexible nature, just tell me, and I'll give you a piece of my mind and teach him a lesson."

She was exaggerating, and Cen hope couldn't help but laugh.

This prompted Shang Ruoxue to exclaim repeatedly, "Look, you look better when you smile! Smile more at that Hanzhou kid, and who knows how charming he'll become."

The two chatted and laughed as they went upstairs.

"Go."

At the bedroom door, Shang Ruoxue waved to her, telling her to go in without worry and to come to her if she had any problems.

Cen hope bit her lip and made up her mind.

She placed her palm on the doorknob, pressed down gently, and pushed the door open to go inside.
