His voice pressed down on my ear so tightly it was almost impenetrable.

A strange sense of danger suddenly rose in Cen hope's heart. After thinking for a moment, she followed her heart and said, "A little, but I can understand."

No matter what, Cen Ning was the one who was officially engaged to him before.

It's normal for them to have had some interactions.

But no matter what, all of that is in the past.

So what if Ace was a gift from her?

It grew up only with Shang Hanzhou, not as a puppy they raised together.

Cen hope was well aware of this, and she would not dwell on the past, as that would only cause her internal strife.

Shang Hanzhou's dark eyes darkened slightly.

"Just kidding."

He sneered.

Cen hope's eyes widened in surprise. What did this mean?

"Ace wasn't a gift from her."

Cen Ning's words were clearly provocative. Cen hope didn't know the reason behind it, and if he didn't explain, the misunderstanding would just continue.

If it were anyone else, Shang Hanzhou might not have bothered to explain.

But Cen hope is his rightful wife; she is no one else.

"Ace was sent by Wei Xingzhou."

Ace was indeed spotted by Cen Ning at first sight, but the Cen family did not allow dogs. Later, Wei Xingzhou bought Ace and brought him home. Cen Ning would occasionally go over to feed him a few times.

A month later, Wei Xingzhou could no longer bear hearing Ace's cries frequently in the middle of the night.

He found an excuse to send Ace to him overnight, without saying a word, and ran faster than anyone else, as if afraid that he would return the dog to him.

After hearing what he said, Cen hope's surprise became even more obvious.

"Did Wei Xingzhou buy Ace?"

That's incredible.

Shang Hanzhou didn't loosen his grip on her waist, his voice tinged with laziness, "Yeah, he's sick."

At the time, Wei Xingzhou mainly bought Ace because Cen Ning was his fiancée and he wanted to get along well with his future sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, he wasn't the type to settle down and raise a dog. After only a few days, he sheepishly returned Ace to him. Shang Hanzhou didn't bother arguing with him.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever he and Sheng Fan got into trouble outside, their first instinct wasn't to go home to their elders, but to ask him for help.

He's used to it.

"If you don't believe me, I'll have Wei Xingzhou tell you."

Seeing that she didn't speak again, Shang Hanzhou took out his phone. Cen hope then came to her senses and quickly grabbed his wrist, "No need, I believe you."

She remained calm and composed, showing no sign of lying.

She didn't really care much about whether Ace was a gift from Cen Ning.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower first, then we'll eat together."

Cen hope pushed him away and walked towards the bedroom alone.

Shang Hanzhou stood there, his thin lips slightly pursed, watching her slender figure leave thoughtfully.

……

The next day, Cen hope was surprised to find that Wei Xingzhou actually came to her door.

When she saw him again at the hospital entrance, she almost thought she was seeing things. Why was he here again?

Since his last visit to the police station, Wei Xingzhou has recovered well these past few days, and he looks much more energetic than before.

"Good morning, sister-in-law!"

He even got a special makeover, and his clothes were a carefully coordinated set.

Wei Xingzhou is indeed quite handsome. After standing there for a while, he has already attracted the lingering gazes of many young nurses. When he is in a good mood, he will even blow kisses to a few pretty young nurses.

Cen hope didn't know what to say for a moment, "Good morning."

She greeted him, and Wei Xingzhou, being a very outgoing person, started chatting with her on his own.

"Sister-in-law, have you had breakfast?"

"Yes, I ate."

Cen hope answered his questions one by one. As long as she stayed at Jingtang Garden, Auntie Qian would prepare breakfast for her every morning before she left.

"Alright then."

Wei Xingzhou continued, "It's like this, I heard from Brother Zhou that Cen Ning came to see you yesterday, and even said that Ace was a gift from her. Sister-in-law, let me tell you, you absolutely cannot believe that!"

"I swear on my character... cough cough,"

Although he seems a bit unreliable.

but.

Wei Xingzhou continued, "Ace really wasn't a gift from Cen Ning. I bought Ace but then didn't want to raise her anymore. It's all thanks to Brother Zhou's kind heart that he's taken such good care of Ace for me."

"Really, sister-in-law, you have to believe me!"

Afraid she wouldn't believe him, Wei Xingzhou made several more oaths, such as being struck by lightning or being hit by a car when he went out... He said all sorts of things.

He dared to say it, but Cen hope dared not listen.

She quickly covered his mouth, "I believe you, don't swear! If something really happens, the hospital will have to add another patient."

Wei Xingzhou chuckled, "It's good that you believe me, sister-in-law."

Cen hope felt somewhat helpless; in fact, she had believed it last night.

I don't know why Shang Hanzhou would have Wei Xingzhou come over and tell her again in person.

Lost in thought, Cen Xi was startled when Wei Xingzhou suddenly leaned his face close. She jerked back abruptly. "What's wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, I've never seen Brother Zhou care so much about anyone's thoughts before, not even Cen Ning..."

They both knew what kind of relationship Cen Ning had with Shang Hanzhou before.

Wei Xingzhou: "Even though Cen Ning used to be Zhou Ge's fiancée, he never cared this much. Sister-in-law, Zhou Ge is stubborn and doesn't know how to say nice things, but I can tell you, Zhou Ge likes you 100%!"

And it's not just a little bit.

It rained last night, and the air feels especially fresh and pleasant today.

As he said those words, Cen hope's hands, hanging at her sides, clenched together unconsciously, and her mind went blank for a moment.

She opened her mouth, unsure how to respond.

At this moment, Wei Xingzhou asked again, "Sister-in-law, tell me quietly, do you like Zhou-ge? Don't worry, I definitely won't tell Zhou-ge!"

Unbeknownst to anyone, the phone in the coat pocket was engaged in a voice call.

The call notes showed Shang Hanzhou as the contact.

Wei Xingzhou pretended to put his hands in his pockets, while gripping the edge of his phone with one hand.
