Baby! Be good! Don't be afraid! Your husband isn't a wild animal!

Shen Yan didn't disturb her. Bai Qianqian looked at the scenery outside and actually felt sleepy. She fell asleep without realizing it.

Shen Yan turned to look at her. She looked adorable even when she was asleep, like a porcelain doll.

He slowed down and tried to drive as smoothly as possible.

The car drove for more than 30 minutes before entering an upscale residential area.

Bai Qianqian's parents bought her a villa here and arranged for servants to take care of her. Originally, Hu Fang said she wanted to come and take care of her daughter, but Bai Qianqian refused. She had never been away from her parents since she was a child and wanted to learn to be independent. It took a long time of persuasion before Bai Hua and Hu Fang agreed to let her be independent.

Shen Yan parked the car in front of the villa.

Bai Qianqian felt the car stop. She groggily opened her eyes and asked, "We're here?"

"Yes, we've arrived," Shen Yan replied gently.

She unbuckled her seatbelt. "Thank you for bringing me back."

"No need to be so polite. Actually... I live in the building right next to yours," Shen Yan said.

Knowing that Bai Qianqian's parents had bought this villa for her, he persuaded the owner of the villa next door to buy it for double the price.

He fell in love with Bai Qianqian at first sight; he was smitten that very night at the banquet.

"Huh?" Bai Qianqian thought she was drunk and misheard, so she didn't react for a moment and let out an "ah".

"It's a coincidence, I live right next door to you. I was so happy to see you move in that day," he lied.

"What a coincidence." Bai Qianqian was simple-minded and didn't think of anything else.

"If you need any help in the future, I'm right next door. You can just call me. Can we add each other on WeChat?" Shen Yan took the initiative to ask for her WeChat. This was the first step. Bai Qianqian was rather introverted and timid. He knew that if he confessed directly, he would definitely scare her. He needed to get to know her better first.

Bai Qianqian smiled and took out her phone. "Okay."

The two added each other on WeChat. Bai Qianqian was a little sleepy. "Brother Shen Yan, it's getting late, I'll head back now."

"Okay." Shen Yan didn't stop her. He watched her enter the villa before turning back to his own.

Shen's old house.

Lin Jiaqian sat in the living room, glancing at the door every now and then. It was so late, why hadn't Shen Yan come back yet?

"Jiaqian, why haven't you gone upstairs to sleep yet?" Lingxia came downstairs to get a drink of water and saw her sitting in the living room in a daze.

"Auntie, I'm waiting for my brother. I have something I want to talk to him about," Lin Jiaqian said, making up an excuse.

"You silly child, just call him if anything happens. He told me he won't be coming back to stay for a while," Lingxia said.

"Huh? Not coming back to stay? Is your company very busy? Do you need to work overtime?" A bad feeling flashed through Lin Jiaqian's mind. Could it be that he's living with that woman? That would be terrible!

"I don't know either. He just told me today that he'll be staying out of town for a while." Lingxia rarely interfered in his affairs, so she didn't ask any further questions when he said that.

"Oh, okay then. Since my brother isn't coming back, I'm going to sleep. I'll call him again tomorrow." Lin Jiaqian was disappointed, but she still kept a smile on her face.

"Okay, good night, get some rest." Lingxia said and went upstairs.

Lin Jiaqian returned to her room, took out her phone, and dialed He Jiaojiao's number. "You were spying on Bai Qianqian today, what's going on?"

"Your brother came to school after school, probably to ask Bai Qianqian out for dinner," He Jiaojiao said.

"Why didn't you tell me about something so important?" Lin Jiaqian asked, somewhat annoyed.

"Don't be angry. I thought it was a small matter. What's wrong with having a meal?" He Jiaojiao originally wanted to tell her, but she was interrupted and forgot.

"This is no small matter. What if they go on a date tonight? Wouldn't that give that woman the opportunity to get her way?" Lin Jiaqian said in a bad tone.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore. I'll definitely report back in time next time. I found out that Bai Qianqian isn't from Kyoto. She came here to study by herself, and her parents rented a room for her. I'll find an excuse to go and visit her tomorrow," He Jiaojiao said, trying to appease her, knowing she was angry.

"Okay." Lin Jiaqian hung up the phone.

He Jiaojiao stared at the phone that had been hung up, utterly speechless. Did she really think she was the daughter of the Shen family? She couldn't even handle Shen Yan, yet she was always doing shady things.

He Jiaojiao and Lin Jiaqian were high school classmates, but they went to different universities after graduation. She knew about Lin Jiaqian's situation. She was fostered by the Shen family. She heard that her parents died in an accident when she was young. Her father and Shen Yan's father were old friends and brothers who had gone through thick and thin together. She had no other relatives and was going to be sent to an orphanage. It was Shen Yan's father who took her home and treated her like his own daughter.

He Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at the phone. What's so great about it? She'll get herself into trouble sooner or later.

Lin Jiaqian tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her mind kept wandering to whether Shen Yan was currently embracing Bai Qianqian and doing something inappropriate for children.

Thinking about this, she couldn't stay calm. Shen Yan was hers, and she had liked him ever since she came to this family. They weren't blood-related siblings, so why couldn't she be the Shen family's daughter-in-law?

Shen Yan is very good to me. He must like me too. He buys me whatever I want and even brings me gifts when he goes on business trips. Is all of this fake?

He never gave any woman a second glance, except for her, Lin Jiaqian thought to herself in a twisted way, her possessiveness rising ever higher.

She picked up her phone and dialed Shen Yan's number.

Shen Yan was taking a shower and didn't hear the phone ring. Lin Jiaqian dialed several times, but no one answered. She angrily threw her phone on the bed, scratched her head, and thought, "No one can take my brother away. He's mine, and Shen Yan can only be with me forever."

After taking a shower, Shen Yan came out and saw three missed calls, all from Lin Jiaqian. He frowned slightly.

He didn't call back. Instead, he opened WeChat, looked at Bai Qianqian's cute chibi-style cartoon girl profile picture, a handsome smile playing on his lips. He tapped the keyboard and sent two words: 【Goodnight.】

Bai Qianqian had just finished showering when Zhang Ma brought her a cup of hangover tea. "Miss, you're not feeling well, so please don't drink alcohol next time, lest you worry Madam."

"Aunt Zhang, please don't tell my mom, I won't drink it next time." Bai Qianqian revealed her two cute little tiger teeth.

"Okay, just this once," Zhang Ma said indulgently.

"I've finished my drink, goodnight, Aunt Zhang." Bai Qianqian finished her hangover tea and handed the cup to Aunt Zhang.

"Okay, get some rest." Zhang Ma left and closed the door behind her.

Bai Qianqian picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and found that it was sent by Shen Yan. Her heart suddenly raced, and she didn't know why she felt this way.
