Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 226 - 225: Patting her head

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Qiao Nian looked aggrieved. Qiao Tong scoffed at her, turning to Shentu Chu.

"Yes! Yes, that’s mine! Where did that thief go?" Qiao Tong quickly stood up.

"That way, miss," Shentu Chu pointed down the streets.

Without saying another word, Qiao Tong dashed off where he pointed.

When she was gone, Qiao Nian turned to Shentu Chu. She felt like a heavy weight was lifted off her shoulders. Shentu Chu hid his mouth behind his hand, trying to hide his laughter. Qiao Tong seems stupid enough for him to trick her.

"You lied. That purse, you took it," Qiao Nian looked into his eyes, sounding like a teacher who caught the student doing something naughty.

"Of course I did. She deserves it for making trouble for you every time. I’m only helping you to vent some anger,"

Qiao Nian smiled and laughed. "Thank you. You..."

"Nian Nian," Shentu Chu knelt down to her level. Qiao Nian was sitting on the chair. She almost fell off the chair when he said her name and stared at her.

"What is it?" She gulped nervously. Recently, Qiao Nian found herself gaining a weakness for his eyes. Those eyes seemed to be drawing her in, tempting her into the darkness.

"I want to ask you something," Shentu Chu said with all manner of seriousness.

Qiao Nian felt her heart beating so hard. Did he found out something?

He inched closer to her, scaring the timid girl. Bit by bit, seconds ticked by as he leaned in closer and closer.

"Accompany me to eat ice cream," Shentu Chu smiled, obviously teasing her. "If you want to repay me,"

"You!" Qiao Nian’s face turned red, realizing that he fooled her with his ’seriousness’.

"I’ll take that as a yes!" Shentu Chu pulled her up and took her small hands in his large ones.

"Shentu C...Chu!" Qiao Nian cried as he dragged her down the street like a parent dragging a child.

Shentu Chu dragged Qiao Nian to a bridge, a famous spot in Shengjing known for its beautiful otherworldly scenery. But now, the sky has set, basking the city in an orange glow.

"Wow! This is too beautiful!" Qiao Nian run to the rails and admired the beauty. Shentu Chu laughed, following her from behind. Sometimes, she was like a child, sweet and innocent. He couldn’t help but want to pamper and dote on her more.

"Like it?" He asked, his gaze seemed melancholy with a faraway look.

"I like it. Shentu Chu," she turned to him, "I want to ask you something. Can you promise to answer me honestly?"

"Sure. What is it?" Shentu Chu cover the distance between them until there was less than 2 cm separating them.

Feeling his warmth, Qiao Nian suddenly became nervous.

"I...I... What if I marry someone I don’t love? What will you do?" Qiao Nian still thought that he didn’t know her identity.

"Then I will snatch you away from unhappiness," Shentu Chu straightforwardly replied.

"Then d...do y..you like me?" The girl plucked up courage to ask.

"Why not?"

"Why do you like me?" Qiao Nian seemed a little off. Shentu Chu didn’t understand why she was asking such weird questions.

"You’re cute. What’s not to like about you?" He reached out, letting his fingers lazily caress her baby cheeks. Qiao Nian’s breath hitched in her throat.

The way he was touching her, she was screaming in her heart. In her mind, Qiao Nian had rolled all over the floor like mad.

"Just that I’m cute? But I can’t do anything, I’m useless," she sighed, looking at the ground.

"You can make me happy. As long as I’m happy, everything’s fine," Shentu Chu pushed a stray hair that the wind blew across her face.

"Nian Nian, you said that you were arranged to marry someone else. Who was the one who made this arrangement? And why?" Shentu Chu had always found this marriage strange. He was a nobody.. Who was willing to let their daughter marry a scandalous and worthless guy like him?

"My grandpa. He made this agreement with Old Master Shentu a long time ago when we were babies. Or was it before we were born? I’m not sure. But my mother was there when the marriage was settled. I heard he made it because he wanted to apologize to Grandpa for his son’s bad behaviour," Qiao Nian replied innocently.

She didn’t know that he was getting information out of her.

Her mother? Third Madam Qiao?

"Nian Nian, one day I’ll come visit your mother," he gave her a meaningful look.

Qiao Nian was a little alarmed, eyes darting left and right, searching for an excuse.

"My mother?!" If he met her mother, won’t he discover her identity?

Shentu Chu patted her head again, calming down the girl.

"Don’t worry about that, Nian Nian. For now, let’s enjoy the beautiful view here," he directed her to look at the sunset.

On the opposite bridge, Shentu Jing stood there admiring the sky with Qin Zhuzhu.

This was the second time he took her to see the sunset. Sometimes, he couldn’t tell what was she thinking. At the same time, Qin Zhuzhu couldn’t tell what was he thinking.

Their eyes met and connected. Shentu Chu smiled. They both have the same thoughts; to take their girls out before racking the mansion.

"Who’s that?" Qiao Nian looked on the direction Shentu Chu was staring at.

"You’re not jealous?" He asked.

"Jealous of what?"

That I’m looking at another girl?"

Qiao Nian was speechless. If Shentu Chu really looked at other girls, she will definitely be jealous!

Shentu Chu laughed again. This girl was really too fun to tease!

"Just kidding you. Look at your face," he pinched her cheek.

Qiao Nian swatted his hands away, annoyed. Qin Zhuzhu waved at Shentu Chu, motioning for him to come over.

"Why are you asking him to come over?" Shentu Jing grabbed her wrist and made her stop waving.
