Fu Beizheng didn't understand why Shen Wanyin did this.
But the necklace had been left to her disposal, and he was no longer curious about the reason.
But on the way back to Fu's mansion, he never noticed the hazy glimmer in Shen Wanyin's eyes.
After Shen Wanyin returned, she went directly upstairs.
As expected, Xiao Taohong had a stomachache. Unfortunately, Fu Beizheng went directly to the guest room to sleep tonight and ignored her noisy comments.
Of course, before going to bed, Fu Beizheng still ordered the servant to light the scent of bergamot.
Before going to sleep, he smelled the soothing scent in the air, but he couldn't help but think of the sweet scent of Shen Wanyin.
He probably burned incense in the room all year round, and there was also the fragrance of bergamot in Chen Wanyin's hair and sleeves, but it seemed to be something more than this.
Fu Beizheng had to admit that the aroma in her bedroom smelled better.
Although Shen Wanyin went to bed very early that night, she could not sleep peacefully until late at night.
In the end, she finally fell asleep, and unexpectedly dreamed about the past...
"Xiao Wan, you should follow your parents closely and don't run around."
"There are too many disaster victims around, so we must not run around."
In the winter when Shen Wanyin was thirteen, Shen Peilin and Jiang Ru took her back to Jiangcheng from other places.
The two of them carefully gave Shen Wanyin instructions along the way.
She didn't understand anything and could only nod obediently.
Due to heavy snow and road closures, they were stranded on the train midway.
The situation had been unstable for many years and it was a cold winter. Many hungry victims suddenly appeared outside the train.
That was the first time Shen Wanyin had seen such a scene. She was so ignorant that she had no idea how terrible a famine year would be.
In the train compartment, she just secretly gave a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to the hungry little girl.
Unexpectedly, it ended up attracting several ferocious-looking adults.
"Hand over all the food and the necklace around your neck. This should be a good thing. You are not allowed to call anyone, or we will kill you."
"That's right, we people are starving to death. But you people can wear silk clothes and such precious jewelry."
“Stop talking nonsense, it’s important to grab food.”…
Facing these people, Shen Wanyin was forced into a corner. The knife in the hand of the leader in front of him was sharp and sharp.
But just when she thought she would die, a tall and thin boy suddenly jumped out from among the piled goods.
He couldn't defeat those people at all, but he tried his best to protect her.
Shen Wanyin was afraid that something would happen to him, so he took the opportunity to sneak to the front and call for help.
Hearing her shouting for help, several people who were originally vicious were frightened and ran away in panic.
"Your hand is injured. You need to find a doctor quickly."
When they were the only two people left in the cargo compartment, Shen Wanyin saw that his arm was bleeding. When she was about to go find her parents, he immediately stopped her.
"Is there anything to eat?"
His face is dark, but his eyes are bright and beautiful.
There is unyielding and tenacity in such eyes.
She had never seen such a look.
food?
Shen Wanyin quickly took out cakes and chocolates from his pocket and stuffed them all into his hands.
At this time, his eyes were also attracted to the pearl necklace around her neck. When the light fell on it, the pink gemstone shone brightly.
"You also like this necklace? It is my thirteenth birthday gift. If you like it, I will give it to you."
Saying that, Shen Wanyin was about to take it off.
Who knew that the boy seemed to be frightened and suddenly ran away.
"What's your name, where do you live..."
Looking at his back, Shen Wanyin asked eagerly, but unfortunately he did not look back or answer a word.
…
At around five o'clock in the morning, Shen Wanyin took a deep breath and suddenly woke up from her dream.
After she slowly woke up, she was suddenly filled with melancholy.
Turning on the bedside lamp, she forced herself to sit up.
Every bit of the dream made her feel sad.
"Fu Beizheng, I remember you were the one who saved me back then, but you forgot about me."
Shen Wanyin murmured in a low voice with complicated emotions.
Ever since that snowy day, she had been hoping to find her savior to repay him.
Later, at a dinner party, she really met him again, and it was only then that she learned that he was a descendant of the Fu family who was living abroad.
But privately, many people like to ridicule his identity as an illegitimate son.
No one can choose their own origin. When others scorned Fu Beizheng's identity, from then on she would fight for it and even teach those people a lesson.
She even regarded that necklace as the most precious thing because of Fu Beizheng.
It's a pity that everything is her own fault.
"The past few years have been like a dream."
Thinking about the past, Shen Wanyin felt very tired again, and her head began to hurt.
…
In the early morning, Shen Wan became a little depressed after starting to sing, and her face looked haggard.
She didn't really want to have breakfast, but Fu Beizheng asked people to invite her several times, and finally she had no choice but to go downstairs.
"Is he taking revenge on me for what happened yesterday?"
When she went downstairs, Shen Wanyin pressed her forehead helplessly and could only find this reason.
At first, she thought that the morning with Xiao Taohong was a mess again.
But when she arrived at the restaurant, she only saw Fu Beizheng reading the newspaper.
"The second wife said she wasn't feeling well, so the young commander asked her to have breakfast in the room during this period."
The housekeeper standing nearby saw Shen Wanyin's doubts at a glance and answered before she could speak.
The butler's tone seemed to be a bit gloating.
Shen Wanyin really had no appetite. She took a spoon and gently stirred the white porridge in the bowl at the dining table.
Then, Fu Beizheng across from him spoke in silence.
"Don't you want to know what the newspaper this morning said about last night's charity dinner?"
As he spoke, he also raised his eyes to look at her.
"I've heard a lot of ugly words in the past few years, so feel free to do whatever you want!"
Shen Wan answered sadly.
At first Fu Beizheng wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak again.
I thought breakfast would end in silence.
But I didn't expect the servant to come in suddenly and hurriedly.
"Young Marshal, madam... Mr. and Mrs. Shen are here."
Shen Wanyin was startled when he heard this.
Soon she also realized that her parents must have come to Fu's mansion so early just to see Fu Beizheng.
"The Shen family's business is running normally. I don't know what Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen are doing here."
Fu Beizheng was about to go out when he heard Shen Peilin and Jiang Ru coming together. He also knew that the two came with bad intentions.
When Shen Wan heard what he said, she couldn't help but tease: "A few days ago, the whole Shen family was turned upside down by you, but you have the nerve to tell me why my parents came. Also, if you don't want to see me, in name they won't. They are already your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and you still call them Master Shen and Mrs. Shen, and you are not afraid that outsiders will hear that Young Marshal Fu has no rules at all."
