Shen Xinglan came back during the night and it was already noon the next day when he landed.

"Weren't you coming back tomorrow?" A Miao got a fright when she heard the sound of the door.

He walked in with a straight face and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

"Is the business not done?" A Miao took off her apron. She was learning to make cupcakes and her hands were covered with flour.

Shen Xinglan gave her a quick glance. "Who are you making the cupcakes for?"

"..." A Miao frowned. "For us!"

She and Shen Xinglan both liked sweets, although he would never admit it.

"Where were you yesterday?" he suddenly asked.

A Miao's pupil suddenly dilated. "What do you mean?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to Jiang Hua's house, and why did you have dinner with him?" Shen Xinglan stared at her with gloomy eyes.

A Miao recalled the scene when they met for the first time. This was the way that he was looking at her then. It made her feel wronged and angry.

"I had dinner with a friend, so what's up? I went to his house to study, so what?" A Miao fought back with a straight face.

Shen Xinglan grabbed her by the hand and said, "You are my woman. You should let me know where you go."

"Let go!" A Miao struggled for a bit, but the strength of Shen Xinglan was too great for her to break free. "Ouch..." A Miao was motionless and looked at him without blinking.

Shen Xinglan was surprised and hurriedly let go of her.

"A Miao." He stretched out his hand to hug her, but A Miao pushed him aside and stood up and ran off.

Shen Xinglan blocked her at the door, picked her up, and went to the bedroom.

"You let me go! Let me go!" A Miao hit him. "I can't afford to be provoked by you, you arrogant and selfish lunatic, can I still hide?"

"A Miao..." He pressed her down on the bed, and their four eyes were opposite each other.

The regret and fear in his eyes shocked A Miao. She murmured, "What's wrong with you..."

"I'm sorry." Shen Xinglan placed his wrist beside her lips and kissed the mark that he had just left on them. "I'm afraid that you will be with Jiang Hua."

"He is my teacher, friend, and elder," said A Miao, turning over with a contemptuous look.

"But he likes you." Shen Xinglan said, "You can go with him at any time."

"Why should I go with him?" A Miao shot him a glare. "He likes me, but he never has any bad thoughts."

Shen Xinglan had a straight face as he bowed his heads and silently rubbed her wrist, and A Miao spoke with a sigh.

"Shen Xinglan, am I so untrustworthy?"

She pushed him aside and sat up and looked at him seriously. "I admit it, I didn't handle this well. Because Shanshan wanted to go to Jiang Hua's house and have him teach her some lessons, I was not at ease, so I went along."

"Did Shanshan also go?" Shen Xinglan scowled. He got the news clearly only about A Miao herself, and...


"Why aren't you rest assured?" The ink in his eyes was a bit thick again.

A Miao rubbed her temples. "I didn't know that she was temporarily unavailable until I arrived. As for why I do not rest assured..."

She hesitated, and Shen Xinglan's face became cold again. She had to say, "Since she was locked in the beauty salon last time, my feelings about Shanshan has been very strange.

"Originally, I didn't want to tell you because she is an irreplaceable sister to you. I also want to be as kind to her as you are. But I'm sorry, I can't."

A Miao jumped out of bed. "I can't say she has a problem, but I don't believe her either. If you can't accept it, then you can choose to stay with her."

"In the same way, I also want to ask about it." The silent Shen Xinglan finally spoke.

A Miao found that he seemed to be losing his cool again. His eyes could not show his anger. She could not help but take two steps back. "You... you ask..."

"I just don't deserve your trust?" Shen Xinglan walked over to her step by step. "You suspect Shanshan, why didn't you tell me? You don't trust her to go to Jiang Hua's house. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I..."

"Do you think I would stand by Shanshan, do you think I would not believe you?"

He had cornered her and raised his hand.

"No." A Miao thought he was going to hit her, so she covered her face quickly. Who knew that a pair of hands would gently raise her head and his gentle voice would sound in her ear?

"Fool!" Shen Xinglan held her in his arms. "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you worry about it?"

A Miao's eyes were glazed for an instant. When her chin was lifted by him and she looked into his eyes, her tears fell down again.

"I'm sorry..." she sobbed, "I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Shen Xinglan kissed her on the eyelids. "It's me who should say I'm sorry, and it's me who didn't think about how you feel. And also... I just hurt you, too."

A Miao looked at him with red eyes. "Aren't you... aren't you angry?"

"I'm not angry if you're not angry with me."

"Poof..." He made A Miao smile.

Shen Xinglan hugged her tightly again. "I promise that there will be no next time. Will you tell me whether you go to see Jiang Hua or have dinner with others?"

"Mmm." A Miao nodded in his arms. "Then you can't be cruel to me."

Shen Xinglan directly picked her up and put her on the bed. "Next time I attack you, I will be punished to sleep on the sofa."

"Well..." A Miao grabbed his hand. "No..."

"Yes." Shen Xinglan buried his head.

When A Miao woke up, it was already dark. When she moved, he brought his hands close to her and said, "I asked the restaurant to deliver some food."

"Don't you move any further!" A Miao pulled Shen Xinglan's hand out from under the quilt. "I'm going to take a bath."

It was difficult to push him out of the bathroom, and A Miao hurriedly washed up and changed clothes before going downstairs, where Shen Xinglan sat at the table and held his hand out to her.

"I'm hungry." A Miao picked up a pork chop.

Shen Xinglan took the towel to help her clean her hair. "It's past your shoulder now, don't cut it."

"Who cut it for me?" A Miao grumpily threw the bone into his bowl.

Shen Xinglan bent the corners of his mouth and did not tell her that he still had pictures of her bald head.

When they were full, the two went downstairs for a walk hand in hand.

"Do you think that thing before was done by Shanshan herself?" Shen Xinglan asked her.

A Miao looked at him and nodded, then shook her head. "I didn't think so at first. Ling Lang said it."

"The policewoman?" Shen Xinglan scowled.

"She said it was her intuition after handling cases for many years." A Miao shrugged her shoulders. "After that, when I looked at the problem from a woman's point of view, I thought it was very strange."

Shen Xinglan was silent for a moment, then said, "OK, I'll check into it."

"Don't you think I'm being unreasonable?" A Miao did not expect this; it was not like Shen Xinglan's style.

"Fool." Shen Xinglan squeezed her hand. "I said nothing is more important than you. Since you think there is something wrong, I'll check it out."

A Miao felt sour at the corner of her eye and said in a low voice, "In fact, I may still care. After all, no one wants another woman in her man's heart."

"I only have you in my heart." Shen Xinglan said, turning her face, "Don't cry, your eyes will hurt later."

"I'm not crying; it's sand," A Miao said firmly.

Shen Xinglan led her to walk on. "The reason why I thought Shanshan was very important in the past was that I didn't have another person in my heart."

"She represents all the warmth of my youth." He held his chest. "But when you entered my life, everything became different."

Seeing that A Miao looked at him blankly, Shen Xinglan gave her a pinch on the nose. "Do you understand what I mean?"

"I seem to understand." A Miao nodded and smiled sweetly at him.

Shen Xinglan's expression darkened. "Smile at me like this more and don't rely on yourself. I don't object to you being strong, but if you are willing to give me a little flirtation occasionally... I will be very happy."

It's said that a little quarrel makes one happy. After such a quarrel, the feelings of these two had indeed changed. Especially A Miao, who had become like a spoiled child, told Shen Xinglan everything and occasionally lost her temper a little bit.

This kind of change made Shen Xinglan feel a little excited. He knew that A Miao had really opened up to him and handed over her future to him completely.

"Boss, what we found is no different from what Lil Xi sent earlier." Shen II put a stack of information on Shen Xinglan's desk.

Shen Xinglan carefully looked at it all from beginning to end. "The time and place coincide."

The most important thing was that Shanshan could say everything before, which was why Shen Xinglan believed her.

"Boss..." Shen I glanced at him. "There is something I don't know if should tell you."

Shen Xinglan said, "Speak."

"I don't think it has anything to do with what she did." Shen I said in a particularly serious way, "If she likes you, these things can be explained."

Because she liked Shen Xinglan, she wanted to frame A Miao. In order to stay beside him, she was just pretending now.

"Shen I is right." Shen II seldom agreed with him. "Boss is the involver. I'm afraid you can't see it clearly, but it is easy for anyone looking from the outside to sense."

That was what A Miao thought. That was why she thought Shanshan was strange...

Shen Xinglan narrowed his eyes. "Send two people to follow Shanshan. Don't let Lil Xi know."

"OK!"

On another weekend, Jiang Hua was awakened by the doorbell early in the morning. After he opened the door, he unexpectedly saw Shanshan standing outside.

"Teacher Jiang!" Shanshan waved at him. "Did I disturb your sleep?"

Jiang Hua furrowed his brows and did not let her in. "Why did you come so early? You didn't call first."

"I'm sorry! Sorry!" Shanshan's hands verified that she was begging for forgiveness. "I just came to work nearby, so I went to look for the address you sent me last time."

She stuck out her tongue. "Actually, there is something really wrong. Look!"

Jiang Hua watched her take a small box out from inside the bag.

"Mr. Jiang, please help me to verify if this is from the Qing Dynasty." Shanshan handed it over.

No matter what, she could not stand at the door. Jiang Hua had to let her in sideways. "Sit down."

"Thank you!" Shanshan put the box down and said shyly, "Can I go to the bathroom..."

Jiang Hua pointed. "It's the first door on the left."
