Just as Shen Yi said himself, no one could make him do anything he didn’t want to do.
Ye Wanwan was stunned for a moment, her heart feeling as if it had been electrified, a tingling sensation spreading from her heart to all her internal organs.
"Isn’t it a business marriage?" Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but ask.
The traffic light turned red just then, and Shen Yi stepped on the brakes, turning his head to look at Ye Wanwan, "Saying that there isn’t at all the intention of a powerful alliance between the Shen Family and the Ye Family would certainly be false."
"But, Wanwan," Shen Yi felt that his little wife seemed to have misunderstood their relationship all along, and that it was necessary for him to clarify.
"The main reason I married you is because I like you, and I think spending a lifetime with you would probably be quite nice, so I married you."
Indeed, the time he had spent with Ye Wanwan wasn’t long, and at first, it was the elders of their families who made contact. But in the end, it was she who attracted him.
His personality was steady, even devoid of much overt emotion; studious in his youth, later occupied with work, his life could be described as utterly uneventful.
But then one day, he met a girl who could be coy, get angry, was very considerate, and also very good at getting into trouble.
Watching her be happy every day, he surprisingly found his own heart being lifted.
At that time, he thought that marrying someone like her would probably be quite interesting.
"So, you really like me?" Ye Wanwan asked blankly.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Shen Yi found it a bit humorous but also somewhat heart-aching. Had he done a poor job, allowing her to continue thinking that he had chosen her just for a business marriage?
When the green light came on, Shen Yi drove on, freeing one hand to ruffle Ye Wanwan’s hair, not in a gentle caress, but rather in a gesture that completely messed up her hair.
Ye Wanwan didn’t respond but instead seemed dazed, as if she couldn’t believe the words she had just heard.
In her previous life, she had never heard Shen Yi say these things.
She had always thought that she was the first to like Shen Yi. Even though Shen Yi was very good to her, she felt like she liked him more, so she always believed that Shen Yi didn’t love her enough.
But now, Shen Yi was telling her that they got married because he liked her; that was the reason for their marriage.
Their relationship might not have the kind of deep, engraved love that other couples had, but their marriage was also started because of love.
She had to admit that Shen Yi’s words had greatly moved her.
The weekend ended, and Shen Yi got busy with work again. Ye Wanwan slept in until she naturally woke up, then sluggishly went downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, she began to have nothing to do.
After lying around in the living room for a while, she got up and headed to the bedroom upstairs.
She had already discussed work matters with Shen Yi, so now she could start looking for a job.
However, Ye Wanwan had never worked before; she didn’t even have a basic resume, and to look for a job, she naturally needed to create one first.
Ye Wanwan took out her laptop and lay on the big bed in her bedroom. She found some templates, studied them, and then started to write her resume earnestly.
But as she was writing, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but recall the words Shen Yi had said to her the day before, her thoughts drifting off again.
It wasn’t until her cell phone suddenly chimed with a message notification that Ye Wanwan came back to her senses.
