After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Sheng Yao pouted in grievance.

what the hell.

If you don't want to be with her, you can just tell her directly. Why do you have to do this and make her worry for nothing.

Sheng Yao sat alone on a chair in the box, tears welling up in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry.

It looked so pitiful.

When Shen Boyan came back from the bathroom, he saw Sheng Yao sitting alone in the box, holding a glass of honey water in her hand, with her head slightly lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.

"what are you doing?"

Sheng Yao suddenly raised her head and saw Shen Boyan, her eyes full of surprise, "You didn't leave?"

Shen Boyan asked in confusion, "Where should I go?"

He had just sat for a while when he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he went to the bathroom.

I don’t know if it’s really because of the bottle of wine, but he feels unwell all over today.

Not only did I feel dizzy, but I also felt uncomfortable in my stomach. I stayed in the bathroom for half an hour.

Sheng Yao hadn't come out of her emotions yet, "Then...why didn't you answer the phone!"

Shen Boyan took out his cell phone and pressed it twice, but there was no light.

"…No power, the phone is turned off."

Sheng Yao thought about what she had just imagined and found it a little funny.

She smiled awkwardly, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Then, he picked up the honey water on the table and handed it to Shen Boyan, "Drink this quickly. Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

Shen Boyan drank the honey water and shook his head, "No, let's go, I'll take you back."

Sheng Yao was flattered, "You're sending me?"

Shen Boyan stared at her, "What's wrong, you don't want to? Forget it, just go back by yourself."

After he said that, he turned around and left.

Sheng Yao reacted and quickly grabbed him, "I didn't say I didn't want you to send me off! You have to send me off!"

Shen Boyan pursed his lips helplessly and said, "Let's go."

When the two came out of the restaurant, it started to drizzle outside.

As soon as it rains in autumn, the temperature drops sharply.

As soon as Sheng Yao came out, she couldn't help but shiver.

"It's so cold."

Shen Boyan glanced at her, seeming to be hesitating about something.

Sheng Yao didn't have anyone accompanying her when she went out today, so the two of them had to take a taxi back.

Sheng Yao looked at the few cars on the road and said, "There are so few cars this afternoon. How about I call my family..."

Shen Boyan didn't say anything. She thought he didn't hear her. Just as she was about to turn her head to look at him, she suddenly felt a coat on her shoulders.

Sheng Yao was suddenly stunned.

The aura of Shen Boyan surrounded her, and the warm feeling spread throughout her body like an electric current.

Sheng Yao's heart began pounding and her cheeks turned red and hot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sheng Yao even felt at a loss.

She despised herself in her heart. Isn't it just putting a piece of clothes on you?

This is something any adult, intelligent man would do.

You have nothing to be excited about.

Sheng Yao, can you please have some backbone?
The taxi stopped by the roadside at some point, and Sheng Yao was still standing there stiffly.

Shen Boyan opened the car door, looked at the dazed Sheng Yan, and frowned, "You're not leaving?"

"Ah? Let's go." Sheng Yao quickly came to her senses, grabbed the clothes on her shoulders, bent down and got into the car.

On the way back, neither of them spoke much. Shen Boyan was thinking about something, but Sheng Yao didn't dare to speak.

She actually wanted to say thank you to Shen Boyan, but she should have said it before getting in the car.

It feels inappropriate and weird to say it now, as if I'm just making small talk.

A piece of clothing worn by Shen Boyan seemed to cast some kind of magic on Sheng Yao.

She was unusually quiet and didn't chatter away trying to find topics to talk to Shen Boyan.

Just when Sheng Yao thought that the two of them would remain silent like this, Shen Boyan, who had not said a word since getting in the car, suddenly spoke.

"Thank you for today."

Sheng Yao tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips, and said to Shen Boyan very sensibly, "We are friends, and it is natural for friends to help each other."

Shen Boyan suddenly turned his head and looked at her, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Do you really think so?"

His eyes were too straightforward, and Sheng Yao couldn't pretend for two seconds, "Well, I never considered you a friend."

She wanted him to be her boyfriend all the time.

Sheng Yao was too embarrassed to say the following words.

She couldn't pretend in front of Shen Boyan anyway, so she simply asked, "How are you going to thank me?"

"It's all right. I owe you a favor this time. You can say whatever you want."

"Then I..."

"Except for making me your boyfriend."

Sheng Yao was stuck all of a sudden, her shoulders slumped, "You're cheating!"

"I didn't." Shen Boyan said calmly, "Since you didn't expect it, forget it."

"No! You already said you owed me a favor, how can I let it go!"

Sheng Yao thought for a while and said, "Eating and shopping are too boring. I don't have any other good ideas for the time being. I'll tell you when I think of something, okay?"

Shen Boyan was too lazy to ask her what she wanted to do. Anyway, everything she did was always beyond other people's expectations.

He looked at the receding scenery outside and said, "Whatever you want."

The rain outside had stopped. Sheng Yao got out of the car and waved to Shen Boyan, "Goodbye, Shen Boyan! Go back and get some rest early!"

Shen Boyan nodded to her, then said to the driver, "Let's go, Master."

Sheng Yao kept watching the taxi until it disappeared from her sight before she turned around and walked inside.

It was still early and no one in the Sheng family had gone to bed yet. They were all sitting in the living room watching TV.

Sheng Yao originally wanted to greet them casually after entering the door.

Who would have thought that as soon as she entered the door, Sheng's father, Sheng's mother, and even Old Man Sheng all looked at her.

Sheng Yao suddenly stopped where she was, not daring to move forward.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, you haven't slept yet..."

Mr. Sheng asked, "Where have you been?"

Sheng Yao's eyes rolled around guiltily, "Didn't I tell you, I went out to play with my classmates?"

"Is your classmate called Shen Boyan?" Old Master Sheng stared at the clothes on her shoulders.

Sheng Yao took a deep breath, her mind full of thoughts about Shen Boyan.

He forgot to return his coat and forgot to take it off his body.

But Sheng Yao still tried to struggle, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? You have met my classmate before, and she has even come to our house to play. Her last name is obviously Li, not Shen..."

"You're still lying!" Old Master Sheng slammed the table, and Sheng Yao immediately shrank her shoulders.

It's over, the old man is angry.

Mother Sheng quickly tried to persuade him, "Dad, if you have anything to say, just speak slowly and don't get excited."

Mother Sheng turned to look at Sheng Yao and said, "Yaoyao, don't lie to your grandfather. Come here and explain to him what's going on." (End of this chapter)
