"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you either. I came to see you today in private because I hope you can live a good life with my grandson, since you are married, behave yourself and live quietly."

Lu Wanwan said reluctantly, "How much money are you going to give me? I don't want to leave without one or two million."

The grandfather Shen gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you three million."

Lu Wanwan didn't even think about it and answered at once, "Okay."

(12.1)

There was a lump in the grandfather Shen's throat. He never expected that Lu Wanwan would agree this quickly, he originally thought there was going go be some disputes.

He had mixed feelings, on one hand, he felt that Lu Wanwan was a bit too easily dismissed, and on the other hand, he felt she was unworthy of his grandson.

The grandfather Shen coldly snorted twice and, unwilling to look at her a second more, he turned his head and left.

In the back seat of the black car, a man wearing a black shirt was sitting, his tie was pulled off, and the top two or three buttons were undone.

His skin was a pale, his pupils dark, and his mood frosty.

The grandfather Shen pulled open the car door and sighed heavily, the fury he felt just then dissipated the moment he saw his grandson. He looked at him with compassionate eyes and said, "You heard it right ? That woman didn't even hesitate once she heard that there was money to take, she took the money to leave you. How can such a person be worthy of you?"

Shen Yi's expression was blank, "I'm going back."

The grandfather Shen couldn't argue with him even if he was angry, he sighed and said, "In a couple of days you come home for a meal okay? People in the Shen's family are your relatives after all."

Shen Yi did not gave him an answer and got out of the car without saying a word.

The wind blowing on his face was chilly, but he didn't feel the cold, the corners of his lips curved down little by little, his fingers turned red from being constricted by the plastic bag but he also didn't feel that.

Shen Yi focused his gaze and walked slowly towards upstairs.

Regarding the grandfather Shen's visit, Lu Wanwan was feeling delighted in her heart. It seemed that the plot was still advancing smoothly.

By the time she got home, the spicy and sour rice noodles she bought had already turned cold.

Lu Wanwan did not mind it and she ate it all. The clock on the wall indicated that it was eight o'clock, yet Shen Yi was still not back home, and he didn't even make a phone call.

She found it was a little strange, and felt a bit uneasy inside.

Usually, if Shen Yi had to work overtime, he would always text or call her in advance to tell her, and every day he always came home on time.

After about another half hour, there was finally some movements coming from the other side of the apartment's door.

The door handle was opened from the outside. In deep winter, the man was only wearing a thin shirt. His eyes were lowered and his face looked pale.

Shen Yi changed into slippers and walked straight towards the kitchen with his plastic bag, saying in a dull voice: "I'm going to boil a bowl of small dumplings for you."

Lu Wanwan looked at his back, she couldn't say what went wrong, but the glance he just cast towards her, sent chills down her spine.

Black and white tones were two polar opposites, but both colors looked extraordinarily good on him.

Shen Yi's voice seemed to come out from the depths of his throat, it was low and hoarse: "Mm. Okay."
