In the morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the room, where two people were lazily sleeping on the bed. Chu Haoxuan was holding Shen Ningxuan, his sleeping posture still protecting the woman in his arms. Shen Ningxuan slowly woke up, and before she opened her eyes, she wanted to stretch. In her drowsiness, she felt an arm around her, and Shen Ningxuan tried to break free from the embrace. As soon as she moved, she felt pain in her lower body. Shen Ningxuan opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Then she remembered the scenes from last night, and a bit of memory remained in her mind, filling her with anger. Shen Ningxuan angrily slapped Chu Haoxuan's chest several times, "Chu Haoxuan, you are a bastard." Chu Haoxuan understood what Shen Ningxuan was talking about; this woman must have remembered what happened last night. However, the corners of Chu Haoxuan's mouth lifted into a curve, and he said ambiguously, "Do you admit you're my woman now?" Actually, you've been my woman for a long time, it's just that you silly girl didn't know it; your first time was mine. "Who admits? I'm not," Shen Ningxuan immediately retorted, even though her words weren't credible, she still had to defend herself verbally. Suddenly, Chu Haoxuan flipped over and pressed down on Shen Ningxuan, saying seriously, "Do you want to do it again? To make it unforgettable." "No," Shen Ningxuan immediately said, looking at Chu Haoxuan's eyes, he wasn't joking. If she continued to confront him head-on, she would definitely be the one at a disadvantage. This bastard could do anything. Shen Ningxuan suddenly spoke gently, "Sleep on the other side, I'm in pain, don't bother me."

Seeing Shen Ningxuan's sudden tenderness, Chu Haoxuan thought she was really in pain and quickly lay down beside her, asking affectionately, 'Is it really that painful?' 'What do you think? Chu Haoxuan, you're such a beast,' Shen Ningxuan couldn't help but scold Chu Haoxuan at the end. 'Baby, being my woman, Chu Haoxuan will teach you how to serve me well,' Chu Haoxuan said with a seductive tone. Shen Ningxuan was about to respond when suddenly the phone in her handbag in the corner of the bed rang. Chu Haoxuan reached over, took the handbag, and pulled out the phone, handing it to Shen Ningxuan. Seeing the caller ID, it was actually a call from Yuwen Ye, Shen Ningxuan was excited and hurriedly answered the phone. 'Hello, Brother Yuwen,' Shen Ningxuan called out gently. Hearing Shen Ningxuan's voice, Chu Haoxuan felt a bit displeased. This woman could be so gentle with someone else. Brother Yuwen? Could it be her half-brother Yuwen Ye? The gentle voice of Yuwen Ye came from the other end of the phone, 'Ning'er, you're not busy, are you? How have you been recently?' Such concern made Shen Ningxuan's heart ache. It had been a long time since anyone had cared about her like this. The people from the Shen family had never made her feel cared for. Now, hearing such warm words, tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes. Shen Ningxuan took a deep breath, 'Brother, I'm fine, everything is fine.' Then, she heard the voice from the other end of the phone, 'Ning'er, take good care of yourself. If the Shen family treats you badly, come to brother's place. Brother will take good care of you.'

Such warmth made Shen Ningxuan choke up, and she said, 'Brother, I know,' feeling an indescribable bitterness in her heart. Shen Ningxuan really wanted to tell Yuwen Ye about her marriage to Chu Haoxuan, but she was afraid that Yuwen Ye and her mother would worry if they found out. After some thought, she decided against it, thinking to bear her own sorrows alone. 'Yes, Ning'er, aren't you lonely by yourself? Wait for brother to finish his doctoral studies abroad, and then brother will come back to accompany you,' Yuwen Ye's voice on the phone was unusually clear. 'Really?' Shen Ningxuan suddenly became a bit excited, immensely agitated. Yuwen Ye would come back, and with him back, she would have someone to rely on, at least she wouldn't have to bear her sadness alone. 'Yes, I'll come back as soon as I finish my studies,' Yuwen Ye said. 'Brother Yuwen, I'll wait for you to come back,' Shen Ningxuan said. 'Hmm.' After hanging up the phone, Shen Ningxuan hugged her mobile phone in her arms, feeling a glimmer of hope in her heart. Even if everyone in the world abandoned her, betrayed her, at least Yuwen Ye was by her side. He always treated her so gently. Although there was no blood relation, and he wasn't her biological brother, Shen Ningxuan knew better than anyone else how well Yuwen Ye took care of her. His kindness was what she wanted, what she greatly anticipated. Seeing Shen Ningxuan wrapped in a blanket, quietly looking ahead, Chu Haoxuan asked, 'Is it Yuwen Ye?'

“Hmm, my brother,” Shen Ningxuan spoke indifferently, not looking at Chu Haoxuan. Seeing that Shen Ningxuan's mood wasn't great, Chu Haoxuan didn't want to ask any more questions. He had investigated her situation a long time ago. Yuwen Ye must be the only person who had ever treated her well in her heart, right? At Shen Corporation, Shen Ningxuan continued to work as the team leader of the business department, even after getting married and even under the oppression of Shen Yujin, she never gave up doing the hardest work at the bottom. The daily busy work made Chu Haoxuan somewhat accustomed to this little woman. He wasn't short of money to support her; she could have sat at home watching TV and sleeping in. Why did she insist on going out to suffer? In the afternoon, after getting off work, Shen Ningxuan returned home and started to cook dinner. When Chu Haoxuan came home and saw the fragrant meal on the table, he suddenly felt very happy. Such a life, such a home, and the virtuous her, it gave him an indescribable feeling. While having dinner, Chu Haoxuan suddenly said, “I have to go back to the team for a while tomorrow, and I might not be home for about a month.” After hearing Chu Haoxuan's words, Shen Ningxuan didn't get excited much and simply said one word, “Oh.” Chu Haoxuan was a bit dissatisfied with Shen Ningxuan's response, and his expression gradually became heavy. Could it be that he didn't have any status in this woman's heart at all?

Why is she so indifferent to herself? Shen Ningxuan kept her head down and ate, completely ignoring Chu Haoxuan's expression. His existence or non-existence had nothing to do with her. Although their time together recently had been peaceful, she probably didn't care about him, right? Lying in bed, Shen Ningxuan closed her eyes slightly, ready to fall asleep. After a day's work, she felt somewhat tired. However, Chu Haoxuan, who was sleeping beside her, was not so pleased. This woman, on the eve of his departure, was not so proactive. Was she challenging his patience? Finally unable to bear it, Chu Haoxuan turned over, threw the quilt across, and started a frenzied attack on the woman beside him, while telling himself in his heart that he must make sure to leave no trace tonight.
