Hunt her

A declaration of war without a clear understanding of the opponent's strength ultimately ended in Shen Yi's overwhelming victory.

Shen Yi said calmly, "Remember to check out of Zhenyunxuan. I don't want to see you around Yan Xu."

Xu Sen had just gotten up to leave the hardware store when he heard Shen Yi's words. He clenched his fists, hating his own incompetence.

He gritted his teeth: "Fine, I'll leave."

Having finally gotten rid of a troublesome romantic prospect, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

I wonder what kind of constitution Yan Xu has, that he attracts so many bad romantic prospects.

After everything was settled, he received a message from Xiao Yuanyang: "Xu Sen himself is nothing strange, but on the night Yan Xu came to Yunzhao County, he happened to go to the Yan residence to look for Yan Shan."

I suspect Xu Sen saw Yan Xu that night; perhaps he was the one who took Yan Xu to the train station.

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

No wonder Xu Sen knew that Yan Xu was in Yunzhao County, but Yan Xu didn't seem to remember such a person.

Xu Sen stepped into the gate of Zhenyun Pavilion and his eyes met Yan Xu's.

He lowered his head in frustration and walked toward the backyard.

"Am I scary?" Yan Xu touched her face; she looked perfectly normal. "Why did he lower his head when he saw me?"

A few minutes later, I heard the sound of a suitcase sliding on the floor.

Xu Sen took the room key to the front desk and handed it to Yan Xu: "I won't be staying for the next few days, so I'm checking out."

He kept his eyes on the table the whole time he spoke, not daring to look at Yan Xu, as if he was avoiding her.

Yan Xu became even more curious: "What exactly did you talk about with Shen Yi? Do you know him?"

Xu Sen's reaction must mean that something happened between him and Shen Yi.

Whatever happens to him isn't important, but if something happens to Shen Yi, she has to find out the details.

Xu Sen wanted to tell Yan Xu the truth, to tell Shen Yi that he had been toying with her feelings and deceiving her all along.

But he didn't dare to say it.

Just as Shen Yi said, his methods were enough to ruin the Xu family's business, and he couldn't afford to gamble with it.

Xu Sen shook his head slightly, as if mocking himself: "It's nothing, we just talked about work, but we couldn't reach an agreement."

"Alright." She didn't want Shen Yi to cooperate with just anyone; if he squandered his money any longer, it would be gone. "Once it's done, the money will be returned to your account within 24 hours after the platform approves it."

Xu Sen nodded: "Yes, thank you."

Finally, he dragged his suitcase away amidst the falling leaves, his figure desolate and forlorn.

Xu Sen had just left when Shen Yi arrived.

It was as if they knew he would check out.

"Was that man who just left trying to collaborate with you?" Yan Xu questioned seriously. "You haven't wavered, have you?"

Shen Yi paused for a moment before saying, "No, I'm not familiar with him."

Yan Xu: "That's good. In the future, if anyone wants to cooperate or invest with you, they should discuss it with me first. Otherwise, they might sell you out and you'll still be counting the money for them."

"Wow...that's so cool." Shen Yi leaned on the bar counter, staring at Yan Xu with starry eyes and pure admiration. "Do you know who you looked just now, speaking with such a serious expression?"

Yan Xu shook his head: "I don't know."

Shen Yi bit her lip: "Like...my...mom."

"..." Yan Xu slapped his arm, "You're never serious."

"Hey!" Shen Yi pointed to the spot where he had been hit, "Even the way you hit people is similar. If you two met, you would definitely have a lot to talk about."

Meeting his mother...

Isn't that just meeting the parents?

But...can she do it?

Yan Xu suddenly fell silent, biting her knuckles as she stared at the computer. It was unclear whether she was genuinely busy or trying to avoid his words.

Based on Shen Yi's understanding of Yan Xu, he was more inclined to believe the latter.

Shen Yi patted her head: "Don't worry, when you're willing to come home with me, I'll take you back. I won't force you."

As for whether Shen's parents would care about her social status, that's a matter for later. Once she inherits the Shen family business, they will have no choice but to agree.

Yan Xu was a little curious about his family situation: "What's your parents' relationship like?"

Shen Yi thought for a moment and said, "I guess I'm henpecked. Anyway, my mom is the boss in my family. My dad listens to my mom a lot. Sometimes we argue, but in the end, my dad always gives in."

That means the family atmosphere is very good.

But she isn't...

She and Shen Yi had a whirlwind marriage without his parents' consent. What if she finds out that Shen Yi suddenly got married? Would she be disappointed in him?

Also, what if her personality doesn't fit into his family?

If you count the days, Yan Xu hasn't experienced a normal family atmosphere for about twenty years.

She didn't know how to face a normal family.

She does not possess that ability.

Fear gripped Yan Xu's heart once more, and she tentatively asked, "If... I mean, if..."

Shen Yi reassured her: "Don't be afraid, just say it."

Yan Xu bit her lower lip, mustering her courage: "If this marriage is to continue, can I stop having contact with your parents?"

Actually, there was something else she didn't say: "I'm afraid I won't perform well, afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing and putting you in a difficult position, and even more afraid that they won't like me."

But Yan Xu didn't like to express his emotions and could only keep them to himself.

Hearing what she said, Shen Yi thought it was something serious, and said in a relaxed tone, "If you don't want to see me, then you don't want to see me. You're living with me, not with them. Whether you see me or not is not important."

He learned this concept of marriage from his mother.

His maternal grandfather initially disagreed with Shen's mother marrying Shen's father, but as the saying goes, Shen's mother's life was ultimately her own decision.

Shen Yi's life, too, is something he must decide for himself.

What kind of family could raise someone like Shen Yi who is so confident, humble yet assertive, and has such a strong sense of self?

Yan Xu sighed, "I'm so glad it was you I married."
