Marriage as a Game

Chapter 103 Shen Chaoxi, even you are so quick to destroy the bridge after crossing it!
Shen Chaoxi subconsciously wanted to touch her face. She knew that she was quite ugly at the moment, but she didn't care. However, under the man's stern gaze, she felt helpless.

The two of them were not far apart, just looking at each other, neither of them moving.

Finally, Shang Jianghan's sigh broke the deadlock.

"Let's go, I'll take you there!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the parking lot.

In the darkness of the night, the man stood straight, walked calmly, and dressed in black, as if he wanted to blend into the night.

Shen Chaoxi could not refuse his request, nor did he want to refuse it.

I can only follow him step by step.

She was wearing high-heeled leather boots, and the sound of them tapping on the marble floor was particularly loud in the quiet parking area.

It feels like a small drumstick hitting the heart, and it brings with it a dense and painful feeling.

Shang Jianghan was driving a Maybach sedan today. The car had smooth body lines and was the only one of its kind in the country.

He opened the driver's door and got in, then lowered the window and lit a cigarette.

Unlike five years ago, the 31-year-old man now has his own calmness and restraint.

In the hazy smoke, the pair of dark eyes as deep as an ancient well stared at Shen Chaoxi without blinking.

Shen Chaoxi recalled that half a month ago, he asked her if she had changed.

The most obvious thing is that the carefree luster of his youth has faded from his eyes, becoming too deep and depressing, and he has become colder.

Shen Chaoxi opened the passenger door and got in without hesitation.

Almost at the same time, a strong feeling of pushing on the back came over me.

The air conditioner was on in the car, and the temperature was getting lower and lower, and a layer of fine bumps appeared on the exposed skin.

"Teacher Shang, I can't go home, just find a hotel and drop me off!"

After saying this, the other party chuckled sarcastically.

At the same time, those eyes scanned Shen Chaoxi.

This kind of makeup is definitely not suitable for going home!

"I'm going there to experience life. There's a character in my next novel that I'm going to write about..." Shen Chaoxi tried to explain, but she found that the other party was concentrating on the road conditions ahead and was not moved at all.

Shen Chaoxi turned his head and looked at the night receding outside the window, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

Once upon a time, this painful and unbearable feeling accompanied her countless sleepless nights.

The cell phone rang and Shen Chaoxi picked it up.

The other party was her editor, who asked when the outline and character design would be submitted so that she could make an advance publicity announcement for the new book.

Originally it was scheduled for tonight, but after thinking about it Shen Chaoxi decided to postpone it to a day.

The person on the other end of the phone joked, "You've been working so hard to write 10,000 words a day for half a year, and this is the first time you've been procrastinating. How rare!"

Shen Chaoxi didn't want to joke with her, so he hung up the phone after a few words.

The cabin fell into silence again.

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening and there were still a lot of people. Young boys and girls walked together under the neon lights, enjoying their nightlife.

Thinking of something, Shen Chaoxi asked: "Teacher Shang, what did you say to Madam Bai that made her... leave?"

Shen Chaoxi wanted to use the four words "escape in a panic", but finally simplified it.

"Want to know?" Shang Jianghan replied abruptly.

Shen Chaoxi was stunned for a few seconds and then nodded and said "hmm".

"I said I don't want your son's other leg to be broken, so you'd better be quiet!"

At first glance, this sounded like a joke, but upon closer thought, Shen Chaoxi firmly believed that this was true.

She stared at the other person and didn't speak for a long time.

Threatening his loved ones for his own sake? Shen Chaoxi's heart gradually became confused.

The light at the intersection turned red, the car stopped, and Shang Jianghan looked back at her.

"So, since I could protect you, why did you leave in the first place?"

This question should have been asked when the two met, but he had his own pride.

Shen Chaoxi's eye sockets felt hot. He bit his lips and turned his head to the side.

"I don't want to say it, I'm not forced to, and I'm not interested in knowing!"

Before the red light passed, the Maybach rushed out at high speed, causing several cars around to honk their horns.

Half an hour later, Shang Jianghan brought Shen Chaoxi to Dongzhi Community.

Entering Room 1201, a dusty and familiar feeling hits you.

Shen Chaoxi's heart began to beat rapidly. "Stay here for a few days, and leave after your wounds have healed."

Shang Jianghan unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt and said.

Compared to staying in a hotel, this place is naturally more convenient.

Especially Shen Chaoxi’s suitcase is still here.

"Thank you!"

"Well, go change your clothes first and come out to apply the medicine."

Shang Jianghan placed the ointment prescribed by the doctor on the coffee table. He had a document to return, so he went into the second bedroom and closed the door.

Shen Chaoxi glanced at the time, then opened the suitcase and took a look. Everything was neatly arranged. She breathed a sigh of relief and then found a set of home clothes.

When Shen Chaoxi entered the bathroom and saw her makeup, she was shocked.

She definitely looks like a little gangster who was caught by her parents and brought home.

After taking a shower, Shen Chaoxi tied her hair behind her head.

The aroma of food wafted from the living room, making her stomach growl.

She looked towards the restaurant and through the transparent glass window, she saw a tall figure busy inside.

Shen Chaoxi was quite shocked. She remembered that Shang Jianghan never knew how to cook.

The table was already set with three dishes and a soup, all of which looked appealing and were definitely not for beginners.

"Apply the medicine first, then we can eat." Shang Jianghan took out the bowl and chopsticks and pointed to the coffee table.

"Oh!" Shen Chaoxi did as he was told.

The wound was on her face and she couldn't see it. When she wanted to take the ointment to the bathroom to apply it, a big hand took the bottle from her.

Realizing that Shang Jianghan was going to apply medicine to him, Shen Chaoxi instinctively took a step back. When he was about to refuse, a big hand hooked his waist and pulled him forward.

The man's breath was right in front of me.

"I... can do it myself." Shen Chaoxi said weakly.

"Don't dawdle. I'm hungry. Take the medicine and then eat!" the man said calmly.

"Oh!" Shen Chaoxi had no choice but to accept.

Shang Jianghan's movements were gentle. The ointment was cool and comfortable, with a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine and mint, which was very refreshing.

"Okay, wash your hands and eat."

Shang Jianghan put down the ointment and walked towards the restaurant first.

"Oh!"

Shang Jianghan's cooking skills were surprisingly good, and Shen Chaoxi gave him a thumbs up.

"Teacher Shang, the food you cook is so delicious!"

A faint smile appeared on Shang Jianghan's cold and handsome face, but it disappeared in a flash.

"You can't eat chili peppers these two days!"

"Oh!"

The conversation between the two was normal.

After dinner, Shen Chaoxi took the initiative to clean up.

"My face is injured, but my hands and feet are not injured. How can I get free food and accommodation?"

After cleaning up the kitchen, Shang Jianghan, who had changed into home clothes, was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a magazine.

"Are you staying here tonight too?"

Shen Chaoxi felt it was awkward only after he said this.

The man didn't raise his head, but the corners of his mouth were raised.

"What? Where should I go so late at night? Shen Chaoxi, you are so quick to destroy the bridge after crossing it!"

"No, that's not what I meant."

"What do you mean?" The man looked up at her, "Are you afraid that you'll be at a disadvantage if you and a woman are alone in the same room?"

Shen Chaoxi came back to his senses and smiled faintly: "That's not the case. Teacher Shang is not that kind of person, and I'm not that easy to bully."

The familiar coquettish and cute look made Shang Jianghan stunned for a moment.

Then he explained: "I offended my family in order to help you, so I have to hide out for a few days."
