Tang Chen hugged her tightly and then released her. He looked at her deeply.
“I will.”
Lin Wanwan patted his shoulder. “It’s very late. I’ll be leaving first.”
Tang Chen watched her figure disappear. His emotions were mixed.
Shen Zhiyi walked in and pushed him into the bedroom. She helped him onto the bed and asked curiously, “What did Wanwan tell you?”
“A secret.”
Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes. She found a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes.
Very quickly, she fell asleep.
Under the bright moonlight outside the window, Tang Chen stared at her appearance. His gaze gradually deepened.
Perhaps what Lin Wanwan said was right.
He didn’t know when it started, but the name Shen Zhiyi had already left a mark on his heart.
“Good night.”
He planted a kiss on her forehead and slowly closed his eyes.
The next day, Shen Zhiyi had her day off, so she stayed in the study to research a cure for Tang Chen.
Tang Chen didn’t go to work either. He was busy with piles of documents.
Occasionally, when their eyes met, they would look at each other and smile.
There was a sweet smell in the air.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
The servant who pushed the door open said respectfully, “Young Madam, your father is here. He’s waiting in the living room.”
“Got it.”
Shen Zhiyi put down the pen in her hand and looked at Tang Chen. “You’ve been busy all morning. Do you want to go out and get some fresh air?”
“Yes.”
If he guessed correctly, father Shen was here to look for him.
When they reached the living room, father Shen was drinking tea.
“Dad.”
Father Shen smiled and greeted his daughter first. When his gaze landed on Tang Chen’s leg, he sighed regretfully.
“Tang Chen, it’s a good thing that you’re still alive. It saves me from worrying that Zhiyi will die for you one day.”
Shen Zhiyi was speechless. “Dad, I’m not that stupid.”
“Zhiyi, have you still decided to be with Tang Chen?”
“Yes.”
“Qiao Wenyu has already spread the news about Tang Chen’s current situation. Now, all the prestigious families in the capital know that Miss Shen has decided to marry a disabled person.”
Otherwise, Lin Wanwan would not have known about Tang Chen’s death last night.
Hearing the words ‘disabled person’, Shen Zhiyi frowned. However, Tang Chen smiled. “What uncle said is the truth.”
Shen Zhiyi looked at her father’s dignified face and tried to liven up the atmosphere with a joking tone. “Don’t tell me you want to break up the couple and break up Tang Chen and me?”
“What if I Say Yes?”
Shen Zhiyi’s expression turned serious as she told him word by word, “I don’t agree, Dad. My liking for a person won’t change because of his physical defects. Moreover, I believe that with my medical skills, I can definitely cure him!”
“When can he be cured?”
”… I don’t know.”
Father Shen’s expression was heavy, “Zhiyi, although your brother has been working hard, he definitely can’t afford to make a big scene at the moment. Once I Fall, the Shen family can only rely on you to support them. Therefore, the future master of the Shen family can’t have a disabled husband. How big of a joke would that be?”
“Dad, you’re still young. I believe that when you retire, Shen Yu will definitely be able to take care of things on his own…”
“Enough!”
Father Shen interrupted her, “Won’t you listen to me no matter what I say?”
“That’s right!”
Father Shen narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, “Go out first. Let me talk to Tang Chen.”
“No!”
Tang Chen had always been against being with her. If father said something unpleasant while she was away, wouldn’t that give Tang Chen a reason to draw a line between them?
