After a flash marriage, the wealthy husband's daily pursuit of his wife

"I was scared at first, but then I thought that the worst possible outcome would not be my death, so I wasn't afraid anymore." Shen Xinlei spoke her true thoughts, and deliberately made them sound exaggerated and light-hearted, just to make him happy.

Although she didn't know what he said to Mr. Li, his conversation with Tao Xiwei made her feel heartbroken.

He said he had to accept the fact that his mother didn't love him, and asked his mother to stop pretending to love him and to be herself.

Shen Xinlei had experienced these things herself, so she understood very well how he felt at this moment.

Li Tingchen also noticed that she was trying hard to tease him, so he smiled at her as well.

Seeing him smile, Shen Xinlei continued, "The people you arranged came to rescue me in time. Now I feel relieved. I'm not afraid at all, and I don't feel wronged at all."

"I arranged people to protect you secretly, not to monitor you." Seeing that she did not ask any further questions, Li Tingchen explained it frankly.

Shen Xinlei nodded: "I understand."

He arranged for someone to follow her, just to help her.

If it weren't for the two of them tonight, she would have been dragged away for examination and this humiliation would have really happened to her.

From this point of view, it was Li Tingchen's arrangement that saved her, so she should thank him.

As for understanding, it is normal even if he really is monitoring her!

But now that he had taken the initiative to bring up the issue, and looked at her with such sincerity, she knew he had not lied to her.

Seeing her smiling so brightly at this moment, Li Tingchen's heart beat faster and faster.

I originally wanted to wait a little longer, but now I want to know the answer.

When facing her, he couldn't stay calm as usual. He took a deep breath and then called her seriously, "Shen Xinlei."

"Hmm?" Shen Xinlei heard his serious voice and looked at him curiously, her eyes full of questions.

Without waiting for her to ask, Li Tingchen stared at her and asked, "Shen Xinlei, do you like me?"

Shen Xinlei blinked her eyes and saw that Li Tingchen looked so serious, it didn't seem like he was joking.

The fact that he called her by her full name for the second time and then asked the question afterwards showed that he was serious about asking this question.

She wasn't wrong.

So...does she like him?

"Why do you ask?" Shen Xinlei looked at Li Tingchen and asked.

Only she herself noticed how difficult it was for her to breathe and how fast her heart was beating.

"I want to know." Li Tingchen answered directly.

When Shen Xinlei heard him say this, her breath was choked and her brain went blank, unable to move at all.

The next second, she quickly closed her eyes, trying not to look at him, otherwise her brain would not work.

After she didn't see him, she regained some of her sanity and continued, "You are testing me, right?"

Li Tingchen raised his eyebrows.

He didn't respond to her words, but kept his eyes fixed on her.

They appear calm on the surface, but only they know how confused they are inside.

It is precisely in this situation that they only remember to disguise themselves, so they fail to notice some small expressions of the other party in time.

"You don't have to emphasize these words to me." Shen Xinlei said generously, "Before I entered the Li family, everyone had already told me not to have any bad thoughts. Later, when we met for the first time, we had already agreed that if I gave you three months to heal your leg, we would be free again. I haven't forgotten these things."

"..." Li Tingchen felt that she could forget all this.

But seeing her serious expression, he couldn't say a word.

Because he was moved and cared about her, every word she said had a huge impact on him.

Now listening to her say these words, he was thinking about opening his mouth to refute her, but at the same time he was afraid that if he opened his mouth he would scare her away.

He is always decisive in doing things, but he behaves like this not at all in relationships.

Seeing that Li Tingchen didn't say anything, Shen Xinlei was even more certain that she had guessed correctly, and continued to explain to him: "So don't worry, I'll leave right away after everything is done."

"What you mean is..." Li Tingchen bit his tongue hard, and the pain made him continue, "You won't like me anymore?"

"You don't want me to like you, do you?" Shen Xinlei asked back.

He really wanted to say it out loud that he just liked her.

Want to be with her.

He looked down and saw the wheelchair he was sitting in. He swallowed back the words and finally asked ambiguously: "What else?"

Shen Xinlei suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Tingchen stared at her and asked.

He was so nervous now, but she was still in the mood to laugh.

But seeing that she was smiling so happily, he didn't bother with her.

"No matter how you test me, I will always say the same thing. Once I cure your leg, I will leave and will never delay you." Shen Xinlei said righteously.

Li Tingchen's eyes changed instantly when he looked at her.

His complicated look at this moment made Shen Xinlei's heart tighten.

She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging into her flesh. The pain kept her somewhat awake. Then she spoke as if to him, but also as a warning to herself: "I don't like you. I just want to leave the Li family as soon as possible."

Li Tingchen felt as if a knife was stabbed in his chest.

When Shen Xinlei said this, it was like someone was spinning around with a knife, making his heart ache even more.

Gulu gulu!

The herbs that were being cooked made a churning sound.

"I'll go in and take a look." Shen Xinlei said this and immediately turned around and ran into the kitchen.

She ran to the kitchen in one breath, turned off the fire, and then lifted the lid of the pot. A billowing hot smoke rose from the pot, and the water in the pot was still boiling.

Seeing the water boiling in the pot, she felt the same way.

Shen Xinlei kept taking deep breaths, and after she finally calmed down, the image of Li Tingchen asking her if she liked him immediately emerged in her mind.

Does she like Li Tingchen?

Shen Xinlei placed one hand on her chest, her heart beating wildly.

Could it be that Li Tingchen saw something wrong and warned her not to think too much?
