"Su Cimu, where did you go this afternoon?"
Shen Yannian pinned Su Cimu beneath him, staring straight at him as if he wanted to bore a hole through him.
"I went shopping at the mall, then hung out at karaoke with a few friends. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to restrict my personal freedom?"
Su Cimu shoved hard, pushing Shen Yannian into a sitting position on the edge of the bed.
"You even hired male escorts at karaoke? Am I not enough to satisfy you?" Shen Yannian demanded coldly.
Hearing this, Su Cimu instantly understood what had set him off.
"Yes, I did. Everyone else did, too. Wouldn't I have looked like I didn't fit in if I hadn't? What, don't you hire male or female escorts to keep you company when you go to karaoke?" Su Cimu huffed and shot back.
"I find them dirty. I never touch them," Shen Yannian answered, his gaze fixed on Su Cimu's eyes.
"Wait, what are you implying? It's not like I let just any random nobody get close to me, okay?"
Su Cimu couldn't help rolling his eyes. He thought Shen Yannian had gone too far, actually suspecting him of touching those people!
"What about the male escort you took away today? Where did you go? And what did you do?"
After hearing Su Cimu's words, Shen Yannian calmed down a little and questioned him.
"After we left the mall, I told him to go home. Did you think I took him to a hotel room? Su Xiaoke and I are both bottoms, okay? There's no way anything would happen between us!"
Su Cimu explained irritably to Shen Yannian.
Although he didn't think he owed Shen Yannian an explanation, he still clarified his relationship with Su Xiaoke, so Shen Yannian wouldn't keep fantasizing about other things.
Hearing this, Shen Yannian couldn't help laughing. "So you're saying you spent two hundred thousand to buy a male escort out of karaoke, then sent him home without doing anything?"
Anyone would have found something like this unbelievable, no matter who it happened to.
"Do you even understand long-term investment? Su Xiaoke got into University A's law department. He's a top student! Besides, he has the same surname as me. I'm kindhearted, and I couldn't bear to see someone like Su Xiaoke stuck in the flesh trade, so I generously paid off his debts and arranged for him to work at Su Group in the future. What's wrong with that?"
As Su Cimu spoke about this, he couldn't help growing proud, folding his arms across his chest and lifting his chin with an air of supreme arrogance.
Seeing this, Shen Yannian couldn't resist giving his chin a little stroke, finding him thoroughly amusing.
"Shen Yannian, are you playing with a dog? Get your paws off me!"
Shen Yannian had suspected him without any reason, and he hadn't even settled the score yet. Did he think he could just brush it all aside? Not a chance!
Shen Yannian knew he was in the wrong, but any man who learned that his fiancé had taken a male escort away from karaoke would have gone just as crazy as he had.
"Baby, you have to understand. You hung up on me, then went to a place like that and took a male escort away. Anyone would have gotten the wrong idea. I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you."
Shen Yannian promptly admitted his mistake, hoping Young Master Su would forgive his behavior.
But Young Master Su wasn't so easy to coax. He haughtily turned his head away and ignored Shen Yannian.
Seeing him refuse to cooperate or communicate, Shen Yannian sighed helplessly.
"I was wrong. Whatever punishment you want to give me, I'll accept it, okay?" Shen Yannian turned him around so he would look into his eyes.
"As if I'd dare punish you. I'd be lucky if you stopped messing with me. I was sleeping perfectly well until you woke me up!"
"Then next time, why don't you wait until I'm asleep and wake me up the same way?" Shen Yannian said with a narrowed-eyed smile.
Su Cimu's eyes widened at once, and he snapped:
"Stop trying to take advantage of me! If I woke you up that way, who do you think would be getting the short end of the stick, you or me?"
Su Cimu wasn't about to fall into Shen Yannian's verbal trap. That old fox was full of sneaky tricks. He was awful!
"Then what do you want to do? I promise I won't resist. How's that?"
At this, Su Cimu fell into deep thought, as if considering just how he should punish Shen Yannian.
"Then can I trade the punishment for a present?"
"Of course. What do you want?"
Shen Yannian was a little surprised, but he still indulged his every request.
"There's a car I have my eye on. It's a limited edition, and even my brother won't buy it for me. You're my fiancé now, so asking you for a car isn't too much, right?" Su Cimu smiled slyly.
Shen Yannian smiled calmly. "Is my brother-in-law that stingy? It's just a car. Your husband will buy it for you."
"Aren't you going to ask what car it is first? It's really expensive, you know, and you might not even be able to get one."
Shen Yannian's immediate agreement surprised Su Cimu greatly. He'd thought Shen Yannian would at least ask what kind of car it was and how much it cost.
"What matters most is that you like it. Money is just a number to me. If it makes my baby happy, it's money well spent." Shen Yannian looked into Su Cimu's eyes with an indulgent smile.
Shen Yannian's attitude did leave Su Cimu feeling thoroughly pampered.
After Su Cimu told Shen Yannian the make and model, Shen Yannian immediately had Wan Ke make the arrangements.
Ten minutes later, Wan Ke sent a reply:
Assistant Wan Ke: Chairman Shen, Young Master Su's car has been arranged. It will be airfreighted into the country within a week.
Shen Yannian: Thanks for your hard work.
"Well? Well? Did you get it?"
"Yes. You'll see it within a week. Happy?"
"Of course I'm happy! Shen Yannian, how are you so freaking amazing? I love you to death~!"
Su Cimu happily threw his arms around Shen Yannian and generously planted two kisses on his cheek.
Shen Yannian hurriedly held him close, afraid he might accidentally fall off the bed.
"Then does my baby forgive me now?"
"Yes! Absolutely! Shen Yannian, you're so good to me~~"
This was the first time anyone outside his family had bought him such an expensive gift. He'd originally brought it up to make things difficult for Shen Yannian, but who knew Shen Yannian was so loaded that he'd buy a twenty-million car just like that, without even blinking!
Seeing Su Cimu act so sweetly with him melted Shen Yannian's heart.
"I've always been good to you."
You just didn't know it.
"Shen Yannian, why are you so good to me? Is it just because we're engaged?"
Su Cimu had always wanted to know the answer to this question. He wasn't made of wood; he could feel Shen Yannian's special treatment and affection, but at the same time, he found it puzzling.
Shen Yannian paused, then picked Su Cimu up and carried him over to sit on the sofa before answering in all seriousness:
"Do I need a reason to be good to you? You're mine, and I've always protected my own."
"What kind of answer is that? You didn't answer my question at all, you old fox..."
"Yes, I'm an old fox. Then what are you? A little fox? A little drama queen?"
In an excellent mood, Shen Yannian murmured softly.
"You're the drama queen! I'm not dramatic at all! And even if I am, you'll just have to put up with it. We're already engaged, so don't think you can get rid of me that easily!"
