I pinched my waist and petted him, and I was made to cry by the ruffian Third Master.

"Mr. Shen, can you stay at home with me tomorrow?"

Su Mian spoke softly, her voice sounding tender, mixed with a hint of expectation and pleading.

Shen Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Since he met Su Mian, Su Mian had never acted like a spoiled child with him. This was the first time Shen Zhou saw Su Mian like this.

He looked at the girl in front of him with some confusion and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Mian heard this and shook his head slightly: "No."

Shen Zhou reached out and hugged the person in his arms, laughing and joking: "What's the matter? Why are you so clingy to me?"

Su Mian pushed Shen Zhou's arms away, and Xiao Shen muttered, "Have you forgotten?"

Shen Zhou was even more confused after hearing this: "Forgot what?"

Su Mian bit her red lips lightly, a look of dissatisfaction spread across her face, and she muttered, "Did you forget what day tomorrow is?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhou began to try hard to recall in his mind what kind of special day tomorrow was.

Is it Su Mian’s birthday?

Or is it their anniversary together?

But nothing seems right.

Could it be the day they first met?

Or was it the day of their first date?

Or some other important moment...

He tried hard to recall what had happened recently, trying to find clues related to it, but his mind was blank and he couldn't remember it.

"What day is tomorrow?"

Shen Zhou asked cautiously, with a hint of worry and nervousness in his tone, fearing that he might say something wrong and make Su Mian angry.

Su Mian looked at Shen Zhou helplessly, with an expression of "I knew it would be like this" on her face, and sighed softly and said: "Tomorrow is your birthday, you actually forgot?"

Shen Zhou was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized what was going on. He secretly felt lucky that it was not an important anniversary or holiday.

He scratched his head, gave an awkward smile, and quickly explained: "Sorry, I've been too busy with work recently, and I really didn't have time to think about these. Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I might really miss my birthday."

"So let's celebrate your birthday together tomorrow!"

Su Mian suggested with a smile, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Shen Zhou lowered his eyes and stared at Su Mian quietly, with a warm feeling in his heart.

He nodded and replied softly: "Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements."

When Su Mian saw Shen Zhou agreed, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face.

She then asked, "Will you be very busy at work tomorrow? Do you need to work overtime? If you get off work too late, we can wait for you to come back and celebrate together."

Su Mian looked at Sheng Zhou expectantly, hoping that Shen Zhou could get off work and go home early. After all, this was their first birthday together, which was very meaningful.

Shen Zhou saw through the little woman's thoughts.

In previous years, his birthday was always celebrated in a club with a group of people, but now, with Su Mian, he would rather spend it with Su Mian and enjoy the warm time that belongs to the two of them.

"Okay, I won't work overtime tomorrow and will try to come back early to be with you."

When Su Mian heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back tomorrow and cook longevity noodles for you."

Shen Zhou looked at Su Mian, who was more excited than his own birthday. He reached out his hand and gently rubbed Su Mian's little head with a doting look in his eyes. With a gentle smile on his lips, he said softly: "Okay, baby, I will come back as soon as possible to accompany you tomorrow."

Hearing Shen Zhou's words, Su Mian was as happy as a child. He grinned, revealing his cute little fangs, and stared at Shen Zhou with a smile.

At the moment their eyes met, Shen Zhou's heartbeat suddenly became rapid, as if a deer was running wildly in his heart.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hands, holding Su Mian's blushing cheeks, slowly lowered his head, and gently and affectionately kissed her lips as delicate as petals.

At first, the kiss was somewhat restrained and tentative, just a light touch, but as time went on, the kiss gradually became passionate and deep.

Shen Zhou seemed to want to express his deep love for Su Mian through this kiss, so he became more and more involved in it, kissing her harder and more fiercely.

At this moment, Su Mian was completely immersed in this passionate kiss. She felt her mind was blank, her whole body was light, her legs were soft, and she didn't even have the strength to stand.

Fortunately, Shen Zhou quickly reached out and hugged her tightly, then carefully placed her on the sofa next to him.

Shen Zhou didn't give Su Mian any chance and leaned over to kiss her again.

Shen hooked his hand around Shen Zhou's neck and slowly responded to his kiss.

When the passion reached its climax, Su Mian felt a big hand falling on his buttocks.

Su Mian suddenly thought of something, reached out and grabbed Shen Zhou's hand, and looked at Shen Zhou with red eyelids: "Dai..."

Before Su Mian could finish the rest of the conversation, Shen Zhou quickly took over the conversation: "Mian Mian, can you not wear it?"

Hearing this, Su Mian was slightly stunned, and a shy blush instantly appeared on her cheeks.

She hesitantly said, "But if I don't take any contraceptive measures, I might get pregnant..."

He whispered, "It doesn't matter. If we really have a child, we will give birth to him."

Shen Zhou's answer was like giving Su Mian a shot of sedative, leaving her stunned.

Su Mian stared at Shen Zhou blankly, with a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

Before she could react, Shen Zhou leaned over and kissed her lips again.

During this passionate kiss, Su Mian shyly discovered that all her clothes had been removed, while the man in front of her was still fully dressed, which made her feel embarrassed and shy.

"No, not here..."

Su Mian murmured softly, curling up in Shen Zhou's arms.

Shen Zhou raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Su Mian with eyes full of satisfaction.

He stretched out his arm, easily picked up Su Mian, and strode towards the bedroom.

When Su Mian finally realized that it was still broad daylight, she had already been gently placed on the soft bed by Shen Zhou.

After a burst of passion, she felt sore and weak all over, as if her soul had been taken away. She leaned limply on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling above, as if she could see a flower in it.

Time passed minute by minute, and Su Mian finally recovered. She barely used her arms to support her body and slowly sat up.

At this moment, the sky outside the window has gradually been shrouded by night and is pitch black.

Recalling what happened in the afternoon, Su Mian's cheeks instantly turned red, and her heart was filled with shyness and embarrassment.

She could never have imagined that she would spend an entire afternoon with Shen Zhou in broad daylight. Not only that, they had sex many times without taking any contraceptive measures.

Thinking of this, Su Mian couldn't help but look at her abdomen.

Can I get pregnant?

This time the baby will be born.

Thinking of this, Su Mian's eyes softened and she began to imagine their child, wondering whether he would look more like her or Shen Zhou.

In fact, Su Mian hoped that their child would be like Shen Zhou, as she herself was not good-looking enough and had a weak personality.

After Shen Zhou changed his clothes, he walked into the room and saw Su Mian sitting alone on the bed with empty eyes and an absent-minded look. He looked a little cute and adorable.

He tiptoed to Su Mian's side and sat down, supporting himself with his hands on the bed. He slowly moved closer to Su Mian's face and gently kissed her lips.

Then he said gently, "Rest for a while. I ordered some food from Yuxiang Pavilion for you. It will be delivered soon."

Hearing Shen Zhou's words, Su Mian turned and looked at him.

He was neatly dressed and looked natural, which made Su Mian feel surprised: "Are you... leaving?"

When Su Mian said this, there was a hint of reluctance in his words.

Shen Zhou stood up straight, tying his tie elegantly, and said calmly, "Well, there is something urgent at work that needs to be dealt with."

Su Mian was a little surprised when she heard this: "Ah, it's already evening and you still have to work overtime?"

Shen Zhou curled his lips: "Don't you always know my work temperament? Something happened at the club tonight and I need to come out to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Su Mian murmured "oh" and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Shen Zhou reached out and held Su Mian's cheek, pecked her lips, and coaxed her softly: "Be good, I'll come back to accompany you when I'm done."

Su Mian nodded obediently, but she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of loss in her mind.

However, this subtle change did not escape Shen Zhou's sharp eyes.

He saw through the emotions in Su Mian's eyes at a glance, so he reached out and gently rubbed her head, coaxing her in a gentle and doting tone: "Okay, be good, I'll come back early to accompany you tomorrow..."

Hearing this, Su Mian nodded obediently: "Okay, then be careful on the road."

Shen Zhou stared at the well-behaved and sweet person in front of him, his heart filled with endless love.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his arms without hesitation, and hugged Su Mian tightly in his arms.

"Baby, I really don't want to leave you for a moment. I really want to be with you every moment."

Shen Zhou murmured in a low voice, as if he wanted to imprint his love for Su Mian deeply in her heart.

Su Mian leaned quietly on his broad and strong chest, feeling his warm embrace and strong love, with a happy smile on her face.

She patted Shen Zhou's back gently and said softly, "Okay, I know you love me the most. You've worked overtime today and it's hard. Go quickly. I'll wait for you to come back home."

"Then I'm really leaving." Shen Zhou said reluctantly.

Su Mian nodded again, his eyes full of tenderness and support: "Well, go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back."

After Shen Zhou left, Su Mian lay in bed for a while. Feeling her body gradually recovering, she slowly got up from the bed and dragged her heavy feet to the bathroom to wash up.

Just then, there was a crisp knock on the door.

Su Mian thought that the takeaway that Shen Zhou ordered for her must have been delivered, so she hurried over to open the door with a toothbrush in her mouth.

When the door opened, as expected, a delivery boy in a yellow uniform was standing at the door, holding several bags of food in his hands.

Su Mian took the takeaway, said thank you, then turned back into the house and put the takeaway on the dining table.

She took out her phone, took a picture of the takeaways, and sent it to Shen Zhou: "You ordered so much, I can't finish it."

However, after this message was sent, there was no response from Shen Zhou.

Su Mian couldn't help feeling a little lost. She put her phone aside and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

After she finished washing up, she sat down at the dining table again, picked up her phone and saw that Shen Zhou still hadn't replied to her message.

Su Mian's mood became increasingly depressed, but when she thought that Shen Zhou had to work overtime so that he could spend more time with her tomorrow, she tried hard to suppress her inner uneasiness and random guesses, and decided not to let her mind wander.

That night, Su Mian sat in the living room, staring at the clock on the wall. Minutes and seconds passed, and the hour hand had already pointed to the early hours of the morning, but Shen Zhou still hadn't returned.

Although she was already exhausted, she still forced herself to wait.

However, he could not resist the invasion of sleepiness in the end, and Su Mian had to give up waiting and dragged his heavy steps into the room to rest.

When the morning sun shone through the window onto his face, Su Mian slowly opened his eyes and groped around as usual, but only felt the empty bed.

At this moment, her mood instantly dropped, because this meant that Shen Zhou did not come back the whole night.

A feeling of loss came over her, but she soon thought that maybe Shen Zhou worked overtime all night just so that he could have a good rest and accompany her today.

Thinking of this, Su Mian felt a little better.

She got up from the bed, washed up simply, and decided to go to the supermarket to buy today's ingredients.

Just as I arrived at the supermarket door, my cell phone rang suddenly.

Su Mian took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Yu Sheng.

She pressed the answer button and said softly, "Hello, Xiaoyu."

Yu Sheng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Mianmian, are you up?"

Su Mian raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard that, and replied with a smile: "What time is it now? Of course I am up. I am outside now."

Yu Sheng then asked: "Are you and Shen Zhou outside?"

Su Mian said, "No, I went to the supermarket to buy something. Isn't today Shen Zhou's birthday? By the way, Xiaoyu, can you help me ask your husband how Shen Zhou celebrated his birthday in previous years? I want to give him a surprise."

When Yu Sheng heard Su Mian say this, he knew that Shen Zhou did not take the initiative to tell Su Mian that Zhang Qiwen was pregnant.

For a moment, Yu Sheng was a little confused, not knowing whether he should say it.

Su Mian waited for a while, but before Yu Sheng could speak, she continued, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Sheng came back to his senses, "Nothing? Mianmian, are you and Shen Zhou okay?"

Su Mian was stunned for a moment, then said: "It's good." After saying that, Su Mian thought of something and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Yu, I plan to propose to Shen Zhou today."

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng exclaimed, "What?"

Su Mian quickly spoke up: "I know this is quite sudden, but I have thought it through. If the person who wants to spend the rest of my life with me is Shen Zhou, then I will take the initiative. Besides, I see that you have a husband and children now, and I also want to have my own little family."

For a moment, Yu Sheng didn't know how to persuade Su Mian.

She sighed and said, "Mianmian, what about Shen Zhou? What does he think?"

Su Mian was a little confused: "What does he think?"

Yu Sheng subconsciously asked, "It's about the proposal. What does he think?"

Su Mian: "I don't know, but he mentioned children, I think he wants to get married too."

Yu Sheng: "Since he wants to get married, does he need to take the initiative to propose?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mian tightened his grip on the phone.

Yu Sheng's voice continued to come from the phone: "Mianmian, I'm not saying that it's bad for you to take the initiative to propose. Both boys and girls have the right to take the initiative to pursue happiness, but I think that when it comes to proposing, it's better for boys to take the initiative."

Su Mian returned to the apartment, with Yu Sheng's words in her mind.

"Let Shen Zhou propose?"

She repeated softly, uncertainty in her voice.

During this period, Shen Zhou treated her very well, and she also felt that Shen Zhou liked her. The tacit understanding and sweetness between them were undeniable. But even so, Su Mian was still a little uncertain. Would Shen Zhou take the initiative to propose to her?

Will they really get married?

If she proposed to him, would Shen Zhou agree?

At this moment, Su Mian suddenly felt a little scared. She was afraid of being rejected, afraid of breaking the existing balance, and even more afraid of losing Shen Zhou.

Su Mian let out a long sigh, as if to release all the depression in his heart.

She picked up the phone on the table and rubbed the screen unconsciously, but she was struggling in her heart whether to call Shen Zhou and ask him when he would be back.

But before the call was made, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated.
