k clothes one by one and changing into his shoes."Isn't it just getting rained on Is that so precious I've been in the rain too, and I haven't seen you like this. Are you the only precious one" Qin Mu...The familiar warmth, the familiar scent, the familiar... fear, creeping up on me!

Trembling, fear and terror reflected in those tightly shut eyelids, even the lips, treated with such gentleness, trembled.

The tremor, transmitted to the man behind her, brought a wave of heartache, dejection, and regret to his eyes... From now on, he would never betray this woman again!

He would never let this woman be afraid again… It was his failure.

Strong arms circled around, embracing the woman's trembling shoulders from behind on the chaise lounge. His lips grew softer and his arms seemed to pulsate with a power that vowed to protect this woman in his embrace.

Knowing, her fear... but, as long as she doesn't push him away, how could he not crave the scent of her now

Zhao Zhao widened her eyes and blinked... Who was this sudden man that appeared

Her situation wasn't particularly good, but she forgot that she had two "advisors," standing on either side of her, watching her with hawk-like eyes. Those eyes, uncorrupted by the vulgarity of the big city, glittered with gossip.

"Hey hey, is that guy your boss"

Shen Er looked at the little girl beside him like an idiot… What was he thinking, in this day and age there's still a "boss"

"Right You guys are mobsters, aren't you I knew it the moment I saw you."

Chirping and chattering, but daring not to speak loudly for fear that her loud voice would disturb the couple under the eaves.

Shen Er became impatient: "What black society Do I look like I belong to a black society"

He gave the girl beside him a withering look.

Suddenly, unforeseen events arise!

"Bang!"

A sharp slap, like a thunderclap, suddenly broke the tranquil ambiance of sunshine, birdsong, and fragrant blossoms.

Shen Er hastily raised his head and followed the sound, his heart instantly tightening.

"Boss..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He looked at the man with his face beaten and bruised under the eaves. The man hung his head low, this slap was clearly not light, a few strands of hair that were slightly longer than average, fell over his head, casting a shadow over his eyes as he lowered it.

Shen Er's heart jumped. "Boss..."

He wanted to step forward, but just as he lifted his foot, the tall and imposing man under the eaves waved him back.

Shen Er could only anxiously wait in the hall, nervously watching the couple and praying... Big Brother, you can't make a mistake at this time! Please, please don't get angry!

The man slowly raised his head. The woman on the lounge chair, at some point unknown to him, had already stood up in a flustered manner, clutching tightly to the thin blanket covering her body. She stared nervously at him, and he clearly saw fear in her eyes.

It felt like a sharp pain in my chest.

He wanted to go forward and hug her, just as he was about to take a step toward her, the woman changed her face: "Don't come here!"

"Child..."

"Don't come any closer!" she screamed, fear flashing in her eyes, a primal terror that emanated from deep within her bones.

"Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid

He called her "Don't be afraid"

What kind of mindset did he have to ask her "don't be afraid"

"Little one, don't be afraid…" Don't be afraid of me…

He wanted to say "Don't be afraid of me," but his throat felt choked, the absurdity of it all preventing him from speaking a word.

At some point, I told the woman I loved, "Don't be afraid of me."

The woman just stood there, watching him with a wary expression, as if he were some dangerous scoundrel.

Why… the moment I saw him, that long-forgotten pain spread through my chest again

A suffocating, oppressive silence hung in the air.

"Shen Xiujin! Go back!" she said to him, despairingly. "Why, must you still come knocking"

"Little one, I'm here to take you home. Come back with me."

He took another step forward.

But she retreated like a startled bird, all the way to the edge of the steps, and let out a terrified cry as her body uncontrollably tipped forward.

The man's face changed abruptly, he took a few steps forward and quickly grabbed her.

"Is anything wrong Let me see, let me see where you're hurt" He was a little clumsy as he reached out to check on her.

Slap!

Another crisp slap sounded!

He stared at the hand she had flung away from him, his palm red and raw.

Get out! Get out of here!

Her heart was in utter turmoil... "Get out of here!"

"Little one, calm down, calm down..."

Calm

Did he call her calm

Yes, yes!

She should stay calm, take a deep breath, a deep breath, to be calm, calmly respond to him!

Don't be afraid.

"Mr. Shen," after a long pause, she finally controlled the fear deep within her heart. She desperately tried to act normal:

"If you wish to stay, we have no vacancies."

"I'm not staying at the hotel, I'm here to pick you up and take you home."

"I won't go," she said, though terrified of the man before her, she forced herself to look up and meet his gaze:

"Mr. Shen, I won't leave with you. This is my home, and I will stay here for the rest of my life."

If Mr. Shen doesn't stay at the inn, then please leave here.”

She was still afraid... After all, when she looked directly into his eyes, her gaze wavered a little, dodging and avoiding.

"Little one, please stop... alright Let's go home. There's something I wanted to say..." I love you....

What

Who is making a fuss

Mr. Shen, you are a successful big shot, I am just an ordinary person running a small guesthouse by the Erhai Lake.

Go home

"What is home"

She could actually be more rational and calmer. She knew she should be more rational, calmer, and colder, just like she treated Lu Mingchu... If she didn't love someone, she wouldn't give them a chance; her heart would be completely cold.

She...what's wrong with her!!!

Thoughts raced through my mind, countless ideas popping up, yet another one slipped away.

However, that very thought pierced him!

To be hurt by oneself... it's as if her entire life had been a joke!

Taking a few steps, she grabbed the tea set from the tea table and threw it at him: "Get out! Shen Xiujian! Listen to me clearly! I will not leave with you!"

This is my home!

I swear, I will never leave this place for the rest of my life!

Get out!

Get out of reminiscing!

"You are the least deserving to be here!"

The teacups, teapot, and tray were all smashed to pieces.

The scalding hot tea splashed out!

She blinked, wiping away the tears in her eyes... If a person's life is lived solely for another, that would be the biggest joke of all.

This is where she hated herself the most.

For Ah Lu, for the dreams she still owed to Ah Lu, her shell kept living.

She was someone who should have died!

But, three years have passed. Why, the moment he appears, does his presence reawaken the pain in her long-dormant heart

Could it be that all of Jian Tong's life, her very soul had only lived because of Shen Xiuqin

How ironic!

"Go! Go go go! Get out!"

The man stood there, letting her smash things. He watched her silently, then glanced at the mess on the floor and spoke in a deep voice: "You've smashed the water glasses, the tray, the kettle... Have you smashed your heart open"

The woman's heart pounded: "No! I could never smash you enough!" She wanted to grab something and continue, but looking around at the mess and then down at her empty hands, she froze... The next second, she suddenly crouched down, "Woooooo..." Even heaven was on his side, there was nothing around her to smash!

The man stood there, silently watching the woman kneeling on the ground sobbing. After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice: "What do you want to smash I'll take it for you."reless and didn't understand the conflict between Summer Butler and this matter before letting it slip, how could I possibly have coaxed the truth out of you with a single sentenceYou just said... you...
