Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Shen Yanchen heard someone seemingly calling him, so he stopped the action of closing the door for Gu Qimiao and turned his head to look.

Seeing Fang Shaobei, he was slightly surprised, but his tone remained typically indifferent: "When did you get back?"

Gu Qimiao curiously poked her head out: "So you guys know each other?"

Shen Yanchen wasn’t surprised that Gu Qimiao would know Fang Shaobei, because when she was in Italy, he had already figured out her social circle and knew that Fang Shaobei was her teacher.

What’s surprising was Fang Shaobei: "So you also know Miaomiao? Miaomiao said you two are friends? Since when did you make... female friends?"

Upon hearing the word "friends," Shen Yanchen faintly frowned, reached out to push Gu Qimiao’s curious head back inside, closed her car door, and circled to the other side, saying to Fang Shaobei over the car, "Let’s catch up another day. I’ll be going now."

Fang Shaobei watched the car drive out of sight, a meaningful smile on his lips.

Does he not understand Shen Yanchen? To let a girl live in his house and personally pick her up and drop her off, could their relationship really be just friends?

In the car, Gu Qimiao asked, "Brother Yan Chen, you know Professor Fang?"

Shen Yanchen drove the car, only responding with a simple "Mm," showing reluctance to talk more. Gu Qimiao, thinking he was just being his usual cold self, asked again: "When did you two meet? How come I never heard Professor Fang mention you before?"

Shen Yanchen didn’t answer immediately. After a few seconds, just as Gu Qimiao thought he wouldn’t reply, he suddenly said: "We were high school classmates, then college mates for a year, and then he went to Italy to study art."

"So... he used to be in business like you?!"

"Mm, his family wanted him to go into business."

"Wow! So he only started seriously studying art in college? It’s amazing how successful he is now!"

Shen Yanchen kept a straight face and didn’t speak further, feeling that discussing another man with the girl he likes was far from enjoyable, though she kept on praising that man with admiration.

While he was silent, she insensitively kept talking about how impressive Fang Shaobei was, how popular he was, and how good his painting skills were... freewebnøvel.com

Shen Yanchen felt an urge to throw her out of the car to melt with the snow.

Back home, he originally wanted to make jujube soup, but instead, he made pig liver soup which she didn’t like and forced her to drink two bowls.

As spring arrived, the snow started to melt, but it felt colder than snowy days. Gu Qimiao was still fully armed like the previous days.

After spending these days together, Gu Qimiao wasn’t as reserved as before, and during moments of silence, she would often make some casual remarks. Usually, before Shen Yanchen could even respond, she would make her own decisions aloud.

Just like now, she suddenly said: "Brother Yan Chen, did you not buy a scarf? I never see you wearing one. How about I knit one for you?"

However, before Shen Yanchen could speak, she frowned and said: "Then again, I should forget it; by the time I finish, it’ll be well into spring and you won’t need it."

Shen Yanchen: "..."

"Maybe I should make it for next year?" she muttered to herself, "Then I should just knit it next year."

Seeing her so conflicted, Shen Yanchen turned the corner, interrupting her muttering.

"Go ahead and knit it; Mai City stays cold until April."

Gu Qimiao was stunned for two seconds, then happily asked: "What color do you like? Gray? That would suit a guy, right? And it would match your clothes better."

Shen Yanchen: "..." Are you really asking for his opinion?

"Okay."

"Then I’ll go buy the yarn later."
