The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

"Cough cough cough!"

Shen Tao was drinking soup when he choked and his face turned bright red.

Wang Liping's eyes widened like saucers, her face filled with disbelief; this was big news.

Shen Huai's eyelids twitched twice.

He had anticipated that his parents would overreact, but Liu Huizhen's ability to make connections still exceeded his expectations.

However, this method is also effective.

The concept of a bottom line is something you have to experience first, to the very depths of hell, before you're pulled back to the surface and everyone will feel that it was paradise.

"Mom, don't make wild guesses." Shen Huai didn't deny it directly, but instead gave an ambiguous answer, "I just think I'm doing pretty well right now. If you keep forcing me to see this person or that person, I really don't know what strange things I might do."

To Liu Huizhen, these words sounded like a blatant threat and a tacit admission.

Liu Huizhen's face turned pale.

She had always been afraid that her son would become a pervert if he kept it all inside. Now it seems that her son might not only be a pervert, but he might also not like women at all!

If word gets out that her youngest son is a weirdo who doesn't like women, what will become of the Shen family's reputation?

Although Shen Wanshan was a rough and uncultured man, he understood the meaning behind his wife's words. His face turned ashen as he pointed at Shen Huai: "You...you bastard! Get back to your room right now! I don't want to see you today!"

Shen Huai stood up and straightened the hem of his clothes.

"Okay, calm down. Remember to take your blood pressure medication on time."

After saying that, he strode away from the table with great composure.

He paused for half a second as he passed by Su Nianhe.

Su Nianhe was looking down, holding a plate of watermelon in both hands.

Shen Huai reached out, his slender fingers picking up the reddest slice of watermelon from the plate, his fingertips seemingly unintentionally brushing against the back of Su Nianhe's hand.

The rough calluses scraped against their delicate skin, sending a shiver down their spines—a sensation known only to the two of them.

Su Nianhe was so startled that she quickly pulled her hand back, almost knocking the plate over.

Shen Huai took a bite of watermelon, didn't even glance at her, and went straight upstairs.

The dinner table erupted in chaos.

Liu Huizhen clutched her chest and cried out in pain. Wang Liping quickly went over to comfort her, saying, "Mom, do you think Xiao Huai might actually have some kind of hidden illness? I've noticed that the way he looks at the women in our compound is like he's looking at wooden stakes."

Shen Wanshan waved his hand impatiently: "Alright! Shut up, all of you!"

Su Nianhe quickly put down the watermelon, lowered her head, and went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

She stood by the sink, turned on the tap, her mind filled with Shen Huai's earlier words.

In order to be with her, this man really didn't care about his reputation. He painstakingly portrayed himself as a person who was pure and abstinent, and might even have some quirks, in front of his parents.

When he finally brings himself into the public eye, Shen Wanshan and Liu Huizhen will probably accept that he has found a woman, a real woman, even if they have to hold their noses and admit that she is a country nanny.

That's terrible.

Su Nianhe bit her lower lip, feeling both flustered and strangely sweet.

Around 9 p.m., the Shen family members all went back to their rooms.

The courtyard was quiet.

After cleaning the kitchen, Su Nianhe took off her apron and hung it behind the door, preparing to wash up and go to bed.

She had just pushed open the wooden door to the kitchen when she bumped into a solid wall of flesh.

"Ugh." Su Nianhe covered her nose and backed away.

Shen Huai, wearing gray trousers and a white short-sleeved vest, stood in the shadows outside the kitchen door.

"How long have you been working?" He casually pulled her arm and led her back to the kitchen, locking the door behind him with a click.

The kitchen lights were off, only moonlight streamed in from the window.

Su Nianhe was pinned against the door by him, and the refreshing scent of soap emanating from the man wafted towards her.

"What are you doing?" Su Nianhe lowered her voice, placing her hands on his chest. "Aunt Liu was really upset by you today, and Aunt Wang was just wandering around outside."

Shen Huai ignored her protest.

"Did you hear what I said at the dinner table today?"

"I heard you," she muttered softly. "You're lying."

"I'm not lying." Shen Huai nibbled on her earlobe. "Before I met you, that's really what I thought. Women are too troublesome. I don't even want to say a word to them. I don't have time."

Su Nianhe shrank back, avoiding his mischievous lips: "And now?"

"Now?" Shen Huai chuckled softly, his chest vibrating against hers. "Now, no matter how busy I am, I can still find time to hug you."

Su Nianhe's heart pounded as he spoke, and she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

"You scared Aunt Liu to death today. She even suspects you and He Jianjun are having an affair..."

"Let her have her doubts." Shen Huai didn't mind at all. "Only by presenting them with the worst possible scenario will they feel that as long as I'm willing to marry a woman, even if that woman is a country girl without a registered residence, they'll be grateful."

Su Nianhe finally understood his plan.

This man plans three steps ahead for every one he takes, and he has a firm grasp on people's hearts.

"Shen Huai." Su Nianhe tugged at the collar of his vest, "What if Mayor Shen gets really angry and falls ill like this?"

"He's in great health, and I've made sure he takes his blood pressure medication." Shen Huai gently stroked her rosy lips with his fingertips. "Now, it's your turn to worry."

"What do I have to worry about?"

"Your boyfriend pretended to be a monk all night," Shen Huai said, his voice hoarse and undisguisedly aggressive. "Now it's time to collect some interest."

As soon as he finished speaking, he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her deeply.

The kiss came fiercely, fueled by the anger the man had been suppressing all night.

Su Nianhe was completely unable to resist him and let him do as he pleased.

Shen Huai loosened his grip on her slightly, his forehead pressed against hers, his breathing heavy.

"I bought this shirt for you today." He ran his fingers down the back of her neck to the hem and tugged at it. "Since you're wearing clothes I bought, shouldn't I check if it fits?"

Su Nianhe was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

This person usually seems cold and aloof, but how come they say such vulgar things in private?

"It fits perfectly." She quickly pressed down on his fidgeting hands, her voice soft and tearful, "Stop it, someone will really hear us."

Shen Huai couldn't possibly do anything, so he pulled his hand away, hugged her back, and rested his chin on her head.

"Tomorrow's the weekend, He Jianjun will come to the compound to pick up some things from me." Shen Huaiping caught his breath. "I'll tell him I'm going out with He Jianjun for the day and will be back late. You'll just pass by my mom. I'll handle the rest. I'll explain everything to you once we're out."

Su Nianhe was a little confused, but she obediently nodded and said, "I understand."

Shen Huai kissed the top of her head.

"Go back to sleep. If you keep hugging me like this, I'm going to become a monster."

Su Nianhe felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly pushed him away, opened the kitchen door, and ran back to the nanny's room in a flash.

Shen Huai leaned against the stove, listening to the sound of the small door closing outside, and raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.

He now understands what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot.

If you set a trap for yourself, you have to keep up the act.

Before he moved out, he could only do this secretly every day.

However, it's really dangerous.
