In order to make it easier for the media to take photos, she wore nothing but a dress and no jacket. At this moment, she came out alone to the corridor to make a phone call. She felt a little cold.
She hunched her shoulders and rubbed her arms.
Suddenly, his shoulders sunk.
She turned her head and saw Wen Haoran, who had followed him out. "Why did you come out as well?"
"Grandpa asked me to send you a coat."
"Oh …" She and Wen Haoran had already discussed this matter before the engagement banquet was held. They were only trying to be together, and if it was appropriate, they might be able to continue walking together. If it wasn't appropriate, they might part ways in the near future.
She lowered her head slightly to adjust her coat, completely oblivious to the uneasiness in the man's eyes.
Wen Haolun saw that she was wearing thin and cool clothes. If she were to wear them in this kind of weather, she would definitely get sick from the cold.
As he did so, he consoled himself by saying that he was doing it for no other reason than friendly concern, as friends do.
When he really did do this, he would subconsciously lie to Shen Ninghuan when she asked him about it.
How could this old man possibly notice whether Shen Ninghua was cold or hot? That old man rarely cared whether his own grandson was good or bad, not to mention a person with another surname.
It was fortunate that Shen Ning Huan didn't understand her family's old man, otherwise his lie would have been easily solved with a poke.
"You called your brother?" He changed the subject.
"Yes, something happened to my little aunt. I need to ask her about the situation." Compared to asking the Shen family's parents, she was more willing to contact Shen Ningqing directly.
"Is it serious?"
"It doesn't seem to be a big deal. My brother said that he will be discharged soon. When they get home, he will send me a message."
"It's good that you're fine."
Shen Ning Huan smiled at him, her eyes as bright as the stars.
Wen Haoran's heart stopped, and his pupils rapidly contracted.
Did this woman have to smile like that?
And …
He swallowed his saliva as his Adam's apple rolled. He unnaturally avoided looking at the situation. Why was his heart beating so fast?
"Are you not feeling well?"
"What?"
Shen Ning Huan took two steps forward and tiptoed to look at his forehead, "Your forehead is also hot, are you having a fever?"
"Nope." He brushed her hand away, and the scent stirred his nerves.
No matter what, he had seen countless girls, why was he so helpless against Shen Ningxia?
Wen Haolun subconsciously wanted to avoid Shen Ninghuan, but she didn't notice as she moved closer to him. "But your face is very red and very hot, do you want to …"
"If I say there's nothing wrong, so be it!" He roared, only to realize that he was too fierce when he saw Shen Ninghuan in a daze.
He coughed lightly. "I mean I don't have a cold, maybe I've had too much to drink today. I'll be fine after a while."
If she continued to approach him this close, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that the engagement banquet would continue normally. Maybe, he would have to bring Shen Ning Huan to get a room upstairs.
Shen Ninghuan did not persist any longer and secretly sized Wen Haoran up. Seeing that the redness on his face seemed to have slowly subsided, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he had really drunk too much wine.
After the throbbing slowly calmed down, Wen Haoran finally returned to normal, "Earlier, Chen Zhaowen came to find you?"
"Mm …" She didn't hide it and knew that Wen Haoran would find out sooner or later.
Hearing her reply, Wen Haoran's eyes slightly sank.
On the other hand, he had underestimated Chen Zhaowen, he actually had the guts to come here and disturb his people.
"In the future, if he comes to harass you again, you have to tell me right away, understand?"
"Oh." She thought that Chen Zhaowen wouldn't come back, right? She had already said it so clearly, if Chen Zhaowen continued to shamelessly pester her, she wouldn't sit still and wait for death.
The reason why she didn't want to see Chen Zhaowen was not just because of his betrayal, but also because she didn't want to break that last strand of fantasy of hers.
To her, Chen Zhaowen was the enlightener of her feelings.
She had always held back a trace of kindness and fantasy towards Chen Zhaowen, but who would have thought that after she resolutely decided to let go, Chen Zhaowen would choose to pester her again and again, and also slowly wear down her feelings towards him, slowly extinguishing that bit of fantasy in the depths of her heart.
She didn't want her first love to become so terrible, and she couldn't tear herself away from that beautiful memory.
It turned out that in Chen Zhaowen's eyes, all of her actions were just throwing a tantrum with him. It turned out that in his perspective, he wasn't wrong at all, the one at fault was her, she was the one who wasn't willing to forgive him for making trouble for no reason.
"Shen Ning Huan."
"Hmm?" Shen Ning Huan looked at him, her eyes as clear and innocent as a little deer's.
"You have to remember clearly, from today onwards, you will be my fiancee, and you also have my exclusive label. If you have unclear relationships with other men, the ones who lose face will not only be you and the Shen family, but also me. So whether it's those messy people or their feelings, I hope you can cut them off completely after today."
"…"
"I'm ready." Shen Ninghuan took a deep breath and said, "From the moment I accepted your suggestion, I have mentally prepared myself. Even if you didn't say anything, I would have concealed my past well."
"I'm not telling you to hide, I'm telling you to give up completely." Wen Haoran suddenly became very serious. "If your past makes you very miserable, then there is no need to bother to hide it. If you hide it, it will only worsen faster. Believe me, one day, that scar will scab."
Initially, he didn't want to know the story of Shen Ninghuan and the other man. If it wasn't for the fact that she had piqued his interest, he probably wouldn't have bothered to help her.
Shen Ning Huan nodded her head, her hand holding onto the clothes draped over her shoulders, "We've been out for so long, they must have started looking for us inside. Let's go, let's go in first."
As she said this, she wanted to walk inside, but Wen Haoran stopped her.
Shen Ning Huan looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"
"There's no need to go in."
"But …"
"But what 'but'? If I say you don't need to go in, then you don't need to. Follow me." He pulled Shen Ning Huan along as he left without saying anything. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up as he revealed a faint smile.
Shen Ninghua was pulled out of the room with a blank face. She wanted to say something, but when she saw his expressionless face, she swallowed her words back.
If they were to leave irresponsibly without even saying a word, they would definitely be scolded to the point that their heads would be drenched in dog blood if they were to delay any further.
Furthermore, she was afraid that if she were to leave like this, her parents would later say that she was willful and did not understand.
Wen Haolun was used to doing whatever he wanted, so he didn't care about what others thought of him.
