Mr. Shen, your love-struck wife doesn't want you anymore!

In Jiang Yu's memory, Shen Chengyan has always been a calm, decisive, and patient person.

Even when things are at their most urgent, he won't panic in the slightest.

If a single question makes him nervous, just how uneasy must he be?

Jiang Yu stared intently at him: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

To be honest, Shen Chengyan was indeed caught off guard by her.

His brain almost instantly lost the ability to think.

It even felt like the wind had stopped for a moment.

The chirping of cicadas and birds has also disappeared.

His gaze shifted, his thick eyelashes drooped, and a dark shadow appeared in his eyes. "Haven't you been hiding anything from me all these years?"

"I have it," Jiang Yu said. "Do you want to hear it?"

Before she asked that question, she had already anticipated that he would ask her the same question in return, and she was prepared to honestly tell him what she had been hiding.

But will he?

Shen Chengyan suddenly smiled and withdrew the hand that was holding hers.

He moved his lips, but before he could say anything, the door suddenly opened.

Guo Yaoyao poked her head out: "Sister, brother-in-law, are you done whispering? Mom asked me to call you for dinner."

Jiang Yu kept her eyes fixed on the man in front of her, but spoke to Guo Yaoyao: "Go inside and don't come out and disturb us."

Guo Yaoyao had never seen Jiang Yu so serious.

Even when she skipped classes and disliked school, when she called, she only scolded her with disappointment.

Never before had his tone been so serious that it frightened her.

She obediently said "Oh" and prepared to go back.

"No need," Shen Chengyan said, taking a step towards the door. "We've finished talking."

**

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very awkward.

Jiang Yu ate without saying a word, her face cold, occasionally glaring at Shen Chengyan across from her.

Shen Chengyan remained calm, as if he hadn't noticed her anger, and even casually served her some food: "You like ribs, eat more."

Jiang Yu threw the ribs into his bowl.

Jiang Huilan whispered, "Xiao Yu, don't do this."

Out of respect for her aunt, Jiang Yu remained silent.

Jiang Huilan served Shen Chengyan some food, saying, "Chengyan, you like this, eat more."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but say, "Auntie, his least favorite dish is chicken stew with mushrooms."

Jiang Huilan asked, puzzled, "Don't you like it? Didn't you say you loved it when you came back before?"

"Yes, he's that cunning. He can pretend for five or six years even though he doesn't like the food."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Honey, you must be a cup."

Guo Yaoyao didn't understand the joke: "What does it mean?"

Shen Chengyan glanced at Jiang Yu: "She said I was putting on airs."

Guo Yaoyao: "Pfft."

Jiang Huilan glared at her daughter: "Eat your food properly."

Guo Yaoyao buried her head in her rice, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!"

Jiang Huilan was startled: "What's wrong?"

Guo Yaoyao stared at the ground: "There are cockroaches."

Their neighborhood is an old one, and the buildings are also old. The sanitation isn't as good as in newer neighborhoods. Some elderly people like to hoard junk at home, which makes it particularly easy for cockroaches to infest the house in the summer. And cockroaches can crawl everywhere along the pipes.

Guo Yaoyao hated pigtails more than anything in her life. She hunched over, gripping the dining table with both hands, her terrified eyes searching the floor: "Sis, she's over there!"

Jiang Yu frowned, looked down a few times, then kicked it away with a "splat": "What's the big deal? Let's eat."

Guo Yaoyao gave a thumbs up: "Sister, you're the best."

Shen Chengyan, who had been silent until now, suddenly clicked his tongue and said, "Truly a heroine among women."

Jiang Yu looked up and glared at him.

Shen Chengyan looked at her with a half-smile.

Jiang Yu suddenly realized why he was laughing like that.

She had never been in a relationship before, but she was beautiful, and some classmates confessed their feelings to her after she went to university.

Jiang Yu had no feelings for the other person and told her frankly about Jiang Guodong, clearly stating that if she were with him, she would face being chased for debts, threatened, intimidated, and so on.

We are all poor students, and no matter how much we like it, we can't accept being pressured by debt collectors.

Of course, some wealthy families also expressed their willingness to help her resolve her troubles.

Jiang Yu had considered being with him, but she really disliked his carefree and irresponsible attitude.

Moreover, she wasn't sure if the other person was just saying it.

Even if they were willing, how much money could a student possibly contribute?

Even if she accepts such help, would other parents just stand by and watch their sons suffer? Wouldn't they come after her?

She calmly analyzed the pros and cons and did not have any romantic relationships during her four years of university.

Shen Chengyan's appearance made her determined to hold onto this man.

He's not a poor student, he's financially independent, he's older than her, he's capable, and dating him won't cause any trouble.

Therefore, she values ​​every date they have.

On their first date, he saw her carrying a shabby bag. Without saying a word, he took her to the Gucci boutique and asked her which one she liked.

Jiang Yu felt that buying luxury goods on her first date with a guy made her seem materialistic.

Although she is indeed very materialistic.

But she still pretended to say, "Forget it, I don't like these. They're too expensive and so small, not practical at all."

The sales assistant's expression at that moment was particularly meaningful. He looked her up and down, and seeing her clothes full of Taobao items, his eyes seemed to say, "We're all women, what are you pretending for? Hurry up and buy it, or you'll miss this opportunity."

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at her in anger, then grabbed Shen Chengyan and left.

Shen Chengyan was baffled and asked her why she was suddenly angry.

Jiang Yu's damned pride got the better of her, and she awkwardly said it was nothing.

Shen Chengyan pondered for a moment, then pulled her to the Grandma Xiang next door without saying a word.

Without asking Jiang Yu's consent, he swiped his card to buy a bag, had her carry it, and led her past the Gucci store and back.

They went to a second LV store and bought a bag, then had Jiang Yu carry it again, repeating the same action as the first time.

Then we went to the third Hermès store, swiped the purse, and carried it on my shoulder. This time, I took Jiang Yu directly into the Gucci store, held her hand, and waved her around in front of the sales clerk. Amidst the sales clerk's speechless and embarrassed expression, I pulled Jiang Yu away.

After leaving the shopping mall and getting back into the car, he smiled and asked her, "Feeling better now?"

Jiang Yu was stunned by his actions and it took her a while to manage to stammer out, "You're so childish."

But that's not what she really thought.

She was having the time of her life!

Although Shen Chengyan was never stingy with money, Jiang Yu always felt like there was something between them whenever they went on a date.

Humans have a sixth sense.

Whether a person likes you or not, whether they have a good impression of you or not, or whether they are hostile towards you, can all be sensed.

She felt that Shen Chengyan's attitude towards her was complicated at that time.

He seems to have a bit of a crush on her.

But it doesn't seem like I like it that much.

He rarely called or messaged her first.

She was always the one who took the initiative.

She was always lukewarm during dates and never clung to her roommate like her boyfriend did.

He can ignore her for a week as long as she doesn't contact him first.

Jiang Yu was furious and anxious because of him.

Sometimes I get so angry that after sending him a message I curse him out as a scoundrel.

Her roommates laughed at her for her bad temper, saying, "Men all like delicate women. Look how tough I am in the dorm, but I'm like a fool in front of my boyfriend. You guys think it's tea, but I think it's romance, unless you want to break up with him."
