Chapter 121: The Clingy Enchantress

The great battle continued for another hour; Hao Anqi lay limp on the bed, not wanting to move even a finger.

Shen Yan was just about to get up, but Hao Anqi pressed down on him, not letting him move, and asked where he was going. Shen Yan stroked her little head and said, "I'm going to take a shower, then go to the vegetable market to buy some food."

"I want to wash too; my body feels all sticky and uncomfortable."

Toward this man to whom she had entrusted her heart and soul, Hao Anqi opened herself up completely, directly wrapping her arms around the back of his neck, her intentions self-evident.

Shen Yan was, of course, doting on this little enchantress to the extreme; he scooped her up, placed her in the bathtub, adjusted the water temperature, began filling it, and then used a towel to pin up her hair—one could say his meticulous care reached the peak, as a father caring for his daughter could hardly be more thorough.

Later, Hao Anqi was even too lazy to move her own hands and let Shen Yan help her wash; Shen Yan only felt as if swarms of bees were buzzing in his ears, his brain nearly exploding.

Such a stimulating scene—who could understand!

However, how could Shen Yan refuse such a good thing? He just started scrubbing her gently. Hao Anqi was ticklish, couldn't help but giggle, and playfully splashed water at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan had no way to deal with her; he couldn't bring himself to scold her, and couldn't bear to hit her, so he only said, "You be good, or I'll let you know how tough I can be."

Hao Anqi instantly became as obedient as a little milk cat.

After the two finished showering together and got dressed, they looked at the messy scene on the bed. Hao Anqi asked how the bedsheets should be handled. Shen Yan said, "Whatever you like. If you want to keep a souvenir, cut a piece off; if you feel it doesn't matter, just wash them."

Without a second word, Hao Anqi hugged the bedsheets and ran to the balcony to wash them.

Comparatively speaking, Shen Yan's attitude was what mattered most.

Shen Yan, meanwhile, braved the continuous heavy rain, hopped on his little e-bike, and headed straight for the vegetable market.

On his way back, he happened to run into Wu Yue'er, who was preparing to go out. She was wearing exquisite makeup, her long hair flowing. Shen Yan greeted her, saying, "Going out to make money again!"

Wu Yue'er smiled radiantly, "No choice, not like you, a big boss who can make money just by lying down, opening your mouth and having a group of people working for you."

"Tsk tsk! Look at you saying that."

Shen Yan shook his head; being a boss wasn't that easy. Ordinary people only saw the glory on the surface, not knowing what kind of risks were shouldered behind the scenes.

A business like Wu Yue'er's, with no capital required and high, stable returns, was perhaps the ideal paradise that ordinary people pursued.

Returning home, Shen Yan began to busy himself in the kitchen, while Hao Anqi transformed into a clingy little enchantress; wherever Shen Yan went, she followed.

When he was cooking, she would hug him from behind, her head pressed against his back. Shen Yan said, "Enchantress, can you stop being so clingy? I can't even cook properly."

"Hee hee! You do your cooking; I'm not bothering you."

Shen Yan thought that since it was likely the young girl's first time experiencing such a thing, she lacked a sense of security, so he let her be.

Just past 11 o'clock, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish appeared on the dining table. The appetizing aroma greatly boosted Hao Anqi's spirits, and she polished off three bowls of rice in a row; Shen Yan ate no less than that.

The physical exertion last night had been too great; he needed to replenish his strength.

After lunch, with nothing to do, the young couple snuggled on the sofa watching TV. Hao Anqi couldn't bear to leave Shen Yan for even a moment; she nestled in his arms, wrapping her arms around his broad shoulders, and suddenly asked, "Shuai Yan, do you think I might be pregnant?"

Shen Yan was slightly stunned. It shouldn't be that accurate, right? Forget it, just to be safe, he'd go buy the morning-after pill.

However, Hao Anqi held onto him, not letting him go, and asked if he was afraid of taking responsibility. Shen Yan was between laughter and tears, saying, "Where did that come from? We've only just started university; it's too early to talk about this."

"Then will you marry me in the future?" Hao Anqi continued to press, looking at him with deep, lingering eyes.

Innocent young girls are always like this, having just tasted the wonderful flavor of love, their hearts filled with longing and expectations for the future.

Especially for a love-struck girl like Hao Anqi, after giving her body and heart, she threw herself into Shen Yan wholeheartedly, just wanting to get a promise from him—even if it was only verbal, she would gladly accept it.

"Why do I feel like you're so desperate to get married!"

Shen Yan stroked her little head and chuckled, "You be good, and I'll marry you in the future."

"Mm-hmm! I'll be very good!"

Having received the answer she wanted, Hao Anqi immediately beamed with joy, acting coquettishly in Shen Yan's arms, and even asked if Shen Yan preferred boys or girls.

"Either is fine, but a little 'cotton-padded jacket' would be best."

Hao Anqi argued that a 'cotton-padded jacket' is a father's lover from a past life, specifically there to compete for favor with the mother, so that was absolutely not allowed. Shen Yan pinched her pretty face and said, "How are you still jealous of our daughter? Aren't you ashamed?"

Hao Anqi felt no shame at all, saying they had to have a big, chubby boy, so that if Shen Yan bullied her in the future, she would have a helper to protect her.

The two of them rambled on, chatting about a beautiful future life. Hao Anqi asked if Shen Yan planned to return to his hometown after graduation or stay in Hangzhou.

Shen Yan hadn't really considered this point yet. Subjectively, he certainly hoped to stay in a big city—Hangzhou or Shanghai would be nice—but there was the factor of Shen Nainai; the old lady's feelings could not be ignored.

Hao Anqi didn't have so many concerns; she would follow wherever he went, and anyway, she was going to stick to Shen Yan forever.

Afterward, Shen Yan went out to buy the morning-after pill, and only felt relieved after watching Hao Anqi swallow it; he didn't want to create a human life so soon.

Otherwise, Hao Anqi's parents would probably come after him with knives.
