Sir, I will not marry!

Chapter 173 Shen Zhiyan in the Room

This was the first time that the two of them had been together for such a long time, and it was the first time that Shen Lingye had compromised in front of Jiang Xiaonuan, acquiescing to her actions.

Shen Lingye knew that it was very dangerous and completely wrong for him to let this little girl act like this.

However, even knowing that, in such an environment, looking at the quiet and serious Jiang Xiaonuan in front of him, Shen Lingye just couldn't say no.

He was reluctant.

Jiang Xiaonuan was like a warm hot water bottle, warming his heart in this cold and lonely rainy night.

He wanted to keep this tenderness for a little longer, a little longer...

Later, when Shen Lingye recalled his time with Jiang Xiaonuan alone, he felt——

This night, let her stay by his side and spend that long night, it should be the beginning of him throwing away all his reason, becoming a crazy gambler, and going on the road of no return because of Jiang Xiaonuan.

"Where did the spring rolls and umbrellas come from?"

"Oh, I called Mother Xu on the inside, and she gave it to me secretly."

"Jiang Xiaonuan, you are courageous enough!" Shen Lingye gritted his teeth, the more frightened he heard it.

Jiang Xiaonuan shrugged, and passed another spring roll over, "I've always been quite courageous, so I ate the last one!"

Jiang Xiaonuan picked up the last spring roll in the box, lowered her head and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shen Lingye swallowed the spring rolls in his mouth, looked at the person who was eating with his head bowed in front of him, and the corners of his lips could not help but tickle.

When he lowered his head, his eyes accidentally glanced at Jiang Xiaonuan's legs, probably because her legs were numb from squatting for too long, and she was already kneeling on the bluestone slab.

The wet rain was sucked into her pants along her knees, and Shen Lingye noticed that Jiang Xiaonuan was only wearing pajamas, with the coat she wore when she came to the manor outside.

A soreness welled up in Shen Lingye's heart, and for the first time, he felt some kind of sympathy for Jiang Xiaonuan—distressed.

Shen Lingye silently felt the subtle changes in her heart, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.

However, before his rare smile could reach the end, it completely faded away because of another scene in his sight.

Because Jiang Xiaonuan lowered her head, when Shen Lingye raised her eyes, she accidentally bumped into the house behind her.

On the second floor, in Jiang Xiaonuan's room, he saw a figure in front of the lit window sill.

Because of the backlight, Shen Lingye couldn't see that person's face very clearly, but this did not prevent him from recognizing who that person was.

At that moment, Shen Lingye's head exploded again.

Half an hour ago, when he saw the lights in Jiang Xiaonuan's room turned on, he was very nervous.

Shen Zhiyan's performance at the dinner last night, coupled with Shen Lingye's final conjecture, made him wary of his father.

Therefore, he asked Jiang Xiaonuan to lock the doors and windows, but if his father really wanted to go in, it was not impossible.

When Jiang Xiaonuan said that it was thunder that would wake him up and turn on the light, Shen Lingye even laughed at himself for a while, because he was too suspicious.

But at this moment, the facts proved that - he really guessed right.

Through the rain curtain, Shen Lingye's eyes met Shen Zhiyan's.

His expression froze little by little, and his eyes became cold and terrifying.

As a father, he actually appeared in his son's and woman's room in the middle of the night!
It's just - insulting public morals!
The anger in his heart surged again, and he clenched his fists hanging on both sides of his trouser legs tightly, trying his best to restrain his urge to rush over and beat someone up.
