The Marriage Trap

[Bad Body X Downfall Heiress] When Shen Chaoxi first met Shang Jianghan: She had been thrown out of her house by her biological father, while he was trapped inside his car after being overtaken at a sharp bend. A pair of slender and fair hands parted the crowd, and at a glance, saw Shang Jianghan's handsome face crushed beneath the weight. The crowd was panic-stricken, trying every possible means to rescue him, but none were as effective as Shen Chaoxi's cunningly angled kick that broke through the door. —— When Shang Jianghan saw Shen Chaoxi again: In Shangjing's top-notch club, Shen Chaoxi, dressed in an overly loose Didalun janitor's uniform, was squeezed into a corner of a corridor by several young scions of the Beijing Circle, with only a metal fence separating her from the twenty-meter drop behind her. Shang Jianghan, hands in pockets and a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth, watched coolly, waiting for her to open her mouth and ask for help. With a clap of her hands, Shen Chaoxi swiftly knocked the group of scions to the ground, wailing in pain! —— The next time Shang Jianghan and Shen Chaoxi met: In the corridors of the Beijing University Affiliated Hospital, all was white. Her grandmother's condition had worsened beyond help, and in front of her lay the cold, black-on-white consent form to give up treatment. Her pale, delicate fingers held the black pen, signing her name with firm strokes. Shang Jianghan approached and, with a swipe, tore the document to shreds. I'll save the person, I'll pay the bills, you're mine! —— Years later, As the setting sun cast long shadows, Shang Jianghan leaned against the car door, watching his wife's aggrieved face as she complained, shaking her slender arms: "Your son must lose weight, my arms are sore from holding him!" Shang Jianghan's lips curved into a faint smile as he gathered her into his arms to soothe her, his emotions swirling with gratitude that such a Shen Chaoxi belonged solely to him!

Chapter 220: Money is an External Possession, but Affection is Priceless

During the naptime, Shen Chaoxi, who usually did not sleep, came over and, unusually, took an afternoon nap.

When she woke up, she discovered that it was already dark outside.

Raising her arm to check her watch for the time, she was surprised to find her hand grasped by a larger one.

The hand was warmer than her own body temperature and felt dry yet familiar.

Only then did Shen Chaoxi realize there was someone lying beside her.

She had slept so deeply that she hadn't even noticed when he came in and lay down to share the pillow with her.

"What time is it? Is it time to go home?" Shen Chaoxi turned over and, with the dim light from outside, she looked at the man's well-defined facial features.

After more than a month of recuperation, the man had recovered to his former self, no longer the gaunt figure he had been during his hospital stay, with a more temperate aura between his brows.
