Chapter 1094: Shanshan Side Story (21) Chapter 1094: Shanshan Side Story (21) “Got scared?” Mu Chen chuckled softly.

Shanshan stubbornly retorted, “Not at all.”

Mu Chen glanced at his watch. There was still some time left. “Where else do you want to go?”

“I’m hungry.” Shanshan said, covering her stomach.

“Little glutton.” Mu Chen gently pinched her nose, his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes softened a few degrees.

After the two had finished lunch and left the restaurant, Shanshan’s smile blossomed like a flower.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you back.” Mu Chen took her hand naturally, enveloping her soft, small hand within his palm.

Shanshan hummed in agreement, then suddenly remembering something, she took out her phone, opened the camera app, and moved closer to Mu Chen, saying softly, “Bend down a bit.”

Mu Chen glanced at the phone and then complied, bending his body, with his firm jaw resting on her shoulder.

Cheeks pressed together.

Breaths intertwining.

Shanshan focused on adjusting the focus and did not notice the blush creeping up on Mu Chen’s fair cheeks.

“One, two, three, eggplant.”

Shanshan held up the phone, her vermillion lips parting into a radiant smile.

Click.

The high-definition photo captured their brilliant smiles, stunningly beautiful.

Shanshan looked down at the photo, smiling so wide she could hardly close her mouth.

“Mu Chen, it looks good, doesn’t it?”

She turned her head, and her little red lips accidentally brushed against his cheek.

Mu Chen was momentarily taken aback, his gaze towards her deepened.

“Mm, it looks great.”

Shanshan, satisfied, curved her lips into a smile and put the phone back in her pocket. “Let’s go, we should head back.”

“Wait a second.”

Mu Chen held onto her, and Shanshan turned her head to look at him. “What is it?”

“Lend me your phone for a moment,” Mu Chen said warmly.

Shanshan looked at him with curiosity but still reached into her pocket and handed him the phone.

Mu Chen tapped on her phone, and Shanshan leaned in to see that he was saving the photo they had just taken together.

Setting the photo as a screensaver, Mu Chen’s lips curved into a smile.

Pocketing the phone, he took her hand and they stepped down the stairs.

Catching a car on the fly, the two of them got inside. Just as Shanshan settled down, her teacher’s call came through.

“I know, I’m on my way back now.”

After a brief exchange, she hung up the phone.

“Shanshan, after summer camp, are you going back to Beijing?” Hesitating for a moment, Mu Chen nevertheless couldn’t help but ask.

Shanshan leaned in, her eyes sparkling, teasingly challenging him, “Why, can’t bear to let me go?”

The reflection of the little girl’s rosy-cheeked face filled Mu Chen’s eyes, and unexpectedly, he nodded, “Indeed, I can’t.”

If he could, he wished he could see her every day.

“Hahaha.”

Shanshan didn’t expect him to give such an answer and laughed so hard she fell onto him.

“What are you laughing about?” Mu Chen arched his eyebrow.

Shanshan stopped her laughter and huffed, “Liar, you don’t even need to draft your lies. You clearly can’t wait for me to leave, so no one will bother you anymore.”

It seemed she thought he was just joking with her.

Mu Chen’s eyes flickered, and his long fingers ruffled her hair at the top of her head, “Hmm, it seems you’re quite clever.”

“Stinky Mu Chen, dare to dislike me? Behold my tickle attack.” Shanshan smirked mischievously, her hands reaching towards Mu Chen’s waist, wickedly tickling him.

“Tickle you to death, for scorning me…”

Mu Chen gave a faint smile, his attractive black eyes slightly narrowing, long and bewitching. His smile was like a warm sunburst on a winter’s day, dazzling Shanshan’s gaze.

“Mu Chen, you look so handsome when you smile!”

Ever since they were little, this was her favorite thing to say to him.

However, every time, it made Mu Chen’s heart soften.

Suddenly, little miss Shanshan had a bright idea and spoke in a tender voice, “Mu Chen, when I grow up, will you be my groom?”

Mu Chen was initially stunned by her words and then laughed unrestrainedly.

“Why are you laughing?” Shanshan pouted, asking unhappily.

Mu Chen lowered his gaze to look at her, “Why do you want me to be your groom, hmm?”

“Because you look handsome when you smile.” Shanshan said innocently.

If Mu Chen, who smiled so handsomely, was seen by other girls, what would happen then? He wouldn’t be so nice to her anymore. She definitely didn’t want that.

Mu Chen was at once amused and exasperated, “Just for that reason?”

Shanshan’s eyes, clear as springs, “Is that not okay?”

“Shanshan, do you know what a groom is?” Mu Chen asked with a smile in his eyes.

“Of course I do, it’s like how my daddy is to my mommy.” Shanshan lifted her chin, declaring proudly.

Mu Chen explained gently, “Hmm, if you want me to be your groom, you can’t like any other boys when you grow up, and you can only marry me.”

“Does that mean I can’t like big brother and second brother either?” Shanshan asked, puzzled.

The corners of Mu Chen’s mouth twitched.

It seemed the little girl still didn’t quite understand what he meant.

Never mind, it was still too early to explain this to her.

“Shanshan, you’re still young. When you grow up, you’ll understand.”

“But will you promise or not?” Shanshan grabbed his hand, becoming somewhat anxious.

Mu Chen’s cool eyes flickered with amusement, “That’s something I can only answer when you’re grown up, not now.”

“But I am grown up now, I’m not a little kid anymore.” Shanshan sulked.

The car stopped, and Mu Chen looked out the window, taking a hat and placing it on her head, “Alright, we’re at the hotel, hurry back now.”

“I don’t care, you’re mine anyway, and no one else is allowed to snatch you away.” Taking advantage of his distraction, Shanshan suddenly hugged his neck and pressed her soft red lips quickly to his scarlet ones.

“Marked you, you can’t back out now.”

Shanshan spoke with a smile, and before Mu Chen could react, she pushed the car door open and ran out.

Watching her petite figure disappear into the hotel entrance, Mu Chen’s tense body gradually relaxed. He raised a hand to touch his lips.

The soft sensation seemed to linger there.

Mu Chen curled his lips in a smile, the soft laughter echoing in the confined space of the car.

His little miss was getting bolder by the day.

Humming a tune as she returned to her room, the moment she opened the door, the conversation inside stopped abruptly.

Lin Yali and Xie Yiyi watched Shanshan walk in; they exchanged a glance, and then Xie Yiyi stepped forward, “Shanshan, everyone’s planning to play billiards later, do you want to join us?”

Quan Shanshan took off her hat and threw it on the bed, looking over at them. Meeting her clear black eyes, Xie Yiyi and Lin Yali couldn’t help but feel tense.

“When?” Quan Shanshan thought for a moment before asking.

Having been here so long, she hadn’t participated in any group activities. Well, going with the flow just this once wouldn’t be so bad.

“In an hour,” Xie Yiyi said.

Shanshan hummed in response, then took out a new set of clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

On such a hot day, after playing all morning, she felt sticky all over, uncomfortably so.

“Hey, Yali, isn’t that the new model from March?” Xie Yiyi caught a glimpse of the hat Shanshan had tossed on the bed, pulled Lin Yali closer, and murmured.

“What’s so strange about that? Look at her, every piece of clothing on her is from high-end limited collections. Besides, her uncle is March; she can pick whatever she wants from March’s range.” Looking at the closed bathroom door, Lin Yali said with a hint of sarcasm.
