Seeing Shen Manting’s look change, Shen Luo’an bent his lips. He looked at her as he walk toward her.

As Shen Manting saw him approaching, her face became pale. She began to walk back and shouted, “Sister Zhang, come over here!”

She turned to look at Shen Luo’an and said, “I have asked Sister Zhang to come. She should be here any minute.”

Shen Luo’an stepped closer. The smile on his face widened. “What are you afraid of? I will not do anything to you.”

“Elder brother, I am going to get married the day after tomorrow,” Shen Manting said. “What do you want?”

“As an elder brother, I want to take a look at the sister who is about to get married. Is that OK?” Shen Luo’an’s footsteps stopped. He looked at Shen Manting’s pale face. “Am I so scary? Why are you overreacting?”

Shen Manting had back up to the corner, behind which was the cool wall. At the moment, the two of them were less than three feet away.

When Shen Luo’an spoke, his face was calm. As he approached, he seemed gloomy. He leaned over. His hands were stuck in his trouser pocket. He suddenly smiled and raised his lips. “Are you afraid that I will do that again?”

This sentence poked the most painful part of Shen Manting.

Do it again… When I was brought back by Mrs. Shen, I was 20, poor and pitiful.

She had accidentally broke into his forbidden area and was almost torn into pieces by his Tibetan mastiff.

He saved me, but he…

Shen Luo’an noticed that Shen Manting’s eyes were a little erratic. He chuckled and said, “Are you actually recalling it?” He reached out. As he held her face, he whispered, “Would you like to recall the memories from that evening…”

“No!” Shen Manting suddenly panicked and pushed him away. “You promised me, Shen Luo’an. I am getting married. What do you want? The groom was picked by you. I don’t even have rights to choose. Are you going to break your promise?”

“Didn’t I give you the right to choose?” Shen Luo’an raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “I gave you a choice, Li Sicheng, Ou Ming, or me. You didn’t have any interest in my two childhood buddies. Isn’t that so?”

“At the time, Li Sicheng’s wife was pregnant,” Shen Manting said. “You are my elder brother, so how could I choose you?”

Therefore, she had chosen Ou Ming. It happened that she knew Ou Ming’s weakness.

I must marry Ou Ming the day after tomorrow! Otherwise, it will ruin my life!

Footsteps suddenly rang out. It was Sister Zhang. Shen Manting was happy and relieved to see her.

Shen Luo’an clearly saw her expression change. He could hear the footsteps getting closer. He smiled, straightened up, and said, “The elder brother comes to see you. I am relieved to see you so animated. You must prepare well so you can be the most beautiful bride.”

After that, Shen Luo’an turned and left.

Sister Zhang appeared holding a paper bag in her hand. She smiled and said, “Miss Shen, you are so blessed! The young master is very kind to you to know knowing you are too busy to eat. He also specially ordered your favorite dessert. Come and enjoy it.”

Shen Manting looked at the dessert Sister Zhang had put out. She was a bit stunned. “Did he just ask you to get something?”

“Yes.” Sister Zhang put the dessert in front of her. “Have a try.”

Shen Manting frowned and looked in the direction of Shen Luo’an’s departure. She didn’t understand what he was thinking at all.

That man is moody, maybe someday…
