Chapter 4

hought she had acquiesced. She felt sorry for her and quickly clipped two slices of beef for her."Sister Yian, eat meat."Thank you.Shen Yian smiled.The conversation between the two was overheard by Wa...Shen Yian arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau early, having just finished his bread, when unexpectedly, Aunt Mo also arrived.

"Aunt Mo, how did you come here too"

"On such an important day, I wouldn't want to miss it."

Aunt Mo smiled and took out a red envelope from her bag, putting it into Shen Yian's hand.

"Yian, from now on, please take good care of Song Lin. This is a little token of appreciation from me, your mother-in-law."

Shen Yian suspiciously opened the red envelope and took out a check for 500,000 yuan.

She looked at Aunt Mo in disbelief and declined, "This is too much, I don't need it."

Aunt Mo blocked Shen Yian's retreating hand and smiled, "Not much, you deserve it."

"Me... Worthy" Shen Yian widened his eyes.

The most frequent phrase she's heard lately is, "You're going to be an orphan soon. Who will want you Who will love you Who will protect you"

Her boyfriend, with whom she had been in a relationship for three years, plotted against her, and even the caregiver mistreated her because she had no parents to support her.

She truly believed she was about to be abandoned by the world, but at this very moment, she felt a long-lost warmth.

Shen Yian, who had been holding on for so long, his eyes turned red. There were too many words at the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know where to begin.

"Aunt Mo, thank you."

"Silly child, I know you're in a difficult situation now, and I know you're embarrassed to ask me for help. We'll be family soon, so there's no need to put on a brave face in front of me. Just accept it with peace of mind."

Auntie Mo lovingly patted Shen Yian's head.

Shen Yanan's heart felt warm. She realized that when someone truly loves you, no amount is ever enough. But if they don't love you, even an extra bit feels like a loss.

For example, Gu Cheng's family.

Don't want to put in the effort, but still want to take more from her.

Just as they were speaking, Aunt Mo suddenly leaned in close to Shen Yian's face.

"Did you not wear makeup today for your marriage registration"

Shen Yian shook his head. “ID photos don’t allow makeup, do they”

Aunt Mo let out a hearty laugh. "You child, why are you so honest You're treating such an important event so casually! Luckily I brought makeup, I'll give you a 'natural' look."

Hearing this, Shen Yian couldn't help but laugh and cry. Aunt Mo actually knew about the fake bare face makeup.

Before she could refuse, Aunt Mo had already applied her foundation to her face, and she could only resign herself to letting Aunt Mo put on makeup.

After a few minutes, Aunt Mo looked at Shen Yian with satisfaction.

"Yi'an, you are very beautiful. Why don't you dress yourself up"

"Aunt Mo, you don't need to comfort me."

Shen Yian just thought that Aunt Mo was comforting her.

Where is she pretty

Before going to college, some people said she was pretty. After she started dating Gu Cheng, he always said she was bad at makeup and, coupled with her busy work schedule, she gradually stopped wearing it. At most, she would just put on some lipstick to brighten up her complexion.

"Really, you...."

Aunt Mo was just about to speak when a black Volkswagen stopped, interrupting her.

Shen Yi'an was drawn to the figure getting out of the car, it was Song Lin.

He was dressed in a black shirt and pants, with the top two buttons undone. He looked relaxed and casual. As he walked up the stairs with his hands in his pockets, a gentle breeze swept past, making his hair flow smoothly and dance in the air. His deep and handsome features shone brightly in the morning sun.

Perhaps she had been looking for too long, Song Lin turned his head to look at her, his gaze flickering slightly.

Shen Yian was taken aback, immediately lowering her head. But then she felt that her small movement was too obvious and a little guilty, so she nervously played with her messy long hair.

Song Lin's gaze fell on Shen Yian's face, lingering there for a long time. Was this the woman from yesterday

Shen Yian's skin is a rare cold white, with only a few freckles and no other blemishes.

After a light touch of makeup, the sunlight fell on her face, revealing a complexion as delicate as a baby's. The contrast with her jet-black hair was striking, giving her a captivatingly alluring look. It was a world apart from her pale and haggard appearance yesterday.

Song Lin walked closer and caught sight of the five hundred thousand check in Shen Yian's hand, his eyes turning cold.

Are you asking for money already

Shen Yian was pushed forward by Auntie Mo and went up to greet him.

"Song......"

"I still have to go back to the company for a meeting, hurry up." Song Lin said and walked straight into the hall.

“...”

It seems Song Lin really doesn't have any good feelings for her, not even a perfunctory one. But for Aunt Mo, she didn't say anything and followed Song Lin inside.

Today, not many people are getting married. The process of filling out paperwork and taking photos takes about twenty minutes at most.

Shen Yian took the red book, looked at the photo on it, and after a few seconds of blankness, he dared to believe that he was really married.

I have to say, Song Lin is really photogenic, but she seems pretty good at it too. I didn't expect the Civil Affairs Bureau's camera to take her picture so well.

Auntie Mo happily came closer to admire the marriage certificates of the two.

"What a handsome couple! My eyes are pretty good, aren't they"

After showering him with praise, Aunt Mo took out a key from her bag and handed it to Shen Yi'an in front of Song Lin.

"Yi An, this is Song Lin's apartment key. You move in today, and you two cultivate your relationship well. I can hold my grandchildren sooner."

"Auntie Mo!" Shen Yian felt embarrassed to interrupt but couldn't bear to look at Song Lin.

"Still calling me Auntie Call me Mom." Mo Auntie laughed.

"Mom, don't do that." Shen Yian was about to die of embarrassment.

"Okay, I was kidding. I'm not the kind of mother-in-law who pressures her daughter-in-law to have two children within three years. But you're already married, shouldn't you live together Yian, what do you think"

Auntie Mo eagerly looked at Shen Yian, she almost begged her to agree to live together.

Shen Yian thought that Aunt Mo was so kind to him, he really couldn't bear to refuse.

Besides, she has received all the legal documents and certifications. As a legally married couple living separately, it's not justifiable for her to just take the money without fulfilling her duties.

One step at a time.

Okay. I'm moving there today.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a pair of cold eyes on her. They belonged to Song Lin.

She looked back.

What are you looking at

Don't ask her to move it, tell Aunt Mo yourself.

Song Lin was slightly surprised. Not many people dared to look at her like that; she was indeed bold.

So eager to move into his house already

Song Lin narrowed his eyes, retracted his gaze, and said coldly, "I'm going back to the company first."

Auntie Mo displeasedly pulled him: "Did the company collapse without you"

Song Lin nodded faintly: "Um."

Aunt Mo was exasperated. This family wouldn't last without her, she thought. She stretched out her hand and pushed Shen Yian into Song Lin's arms.

Shen Yi'an bumped into Song Lin's chest sullenly, the smell of tobacco mixed with a coldness instantly enveloping her.

After her panic, she stumbled back. Her high heels, which she had worn for three years, slipped on the ground, and she was about to fall backwards. Song Lin stretched out his long arm and caught her waist. The two of them were forced to lean against each other again.

Click, click, Aunt Mo smiled happily as she took a picture.

"It's a shame, it would be better with a kiss, or...

"Mom"

Song Lin spoke in a deep voice, stopping Aunt Mo from rambling on. He straightened Shen Yi'an and then curled his fingers, still warm from holding him.

Is a woman's waist that thin

Shen Yian awkwardly moved aside a step, feeling deeply grateful to Song Lin in his heart.

Although he didn't like her, at least he didn't stand idly by and let her fall flat on her face.

With so many people coming and going, just thinking about the scene of her falling would make her feel embarrassed.

Auntie Mo watched the two of them cover their mouths and smile, then pointed at Song Lin.

"As a husband, shouldn't you hurry and send your wife to work"

Husband Wife

Song Lin and Shen Yi looked at each other, both of them feeling a strange sense of unease.

Shen Yian quickly refused: "No, no, my company is very close to here, I can just go myself."

After she finished speaking, she ran away.

Song Lin looked at her back without any expression, only feeling that her tactic of pretending to be unattainable had been used on the wrong person.

He no longer paid attention to Shen Yian, turning his head to look at Aunt Mo instead.

"Mom, I called a driver to pick you up and take you home."

"No, I'm going for a walk. You should head back to the company. But I warn you, don't bully Yi An."

After Aunt Mo's warning, Dai put on her sunglasses and happily went shopping.

Song Lin also got on the car and left. This way, she won't disappoint Song Lin for helping her out.As for the rest, she'll have to think about it some more.When Shen Yian arrived downstairs at the company, he saw a crowd of people gathere...
