My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 585 - 033: Let’s get married! _3

Nan Jiayan looked at her angry appearance and silently laughed, even playfully raising an eyebrow, with a hint of roguishness in his tone: "Oh? It seems like after meeting you, those two words are no longer in my dictionary, and... what use is a face? It can’t be eaten, nor can it help me get a wife. Whether I have it or not doesn’t matter, having you is enough." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"..."

Hearing this, Lu Shishu was left speechless. When it comes to shamelessness, she could never match him. However, she couldn’t deny that a slight sweetness arose in her heart.

Saying one thing but meaning another, and having a heart that doesn’t align with one’s words is a common problem among women, and this is absolutely true.

Although outwardly she appeared disdainful and aloof, she did quite enjoy his words inwardly. Although she also felt he was being shameless, sometimes, when women apply double standards, even they themselves find it terrifying.

Especially in matters of the heart.

Lu Shishu ignored him, walked around the front of the car, directly sat in the driver’s seat, fastened her seatbelt, inserted the key, and started the car. Her movements were smooth and seamless, yet she didn’t glance at him even once.

Nan Jiayan watched her like this, the smile on his face growing even more pronounced.

All along the way, Lu Shishu didn’t pay him any attention. On the other hand, Nan Jiayan occasionally said a few words, and even though she didn’t respond, it didn’t matter because he knew she was listening.

After parking the car, the two got out together and walked side by side into the elevator. Lu Shishu pressed the floor button, watched the elevator doors slowly close, and then slowly asked: "Little Yu’er, do you really plan to leave her at your aunt’s place forever?"

"After these few busy days, I’ll go to my aunt’s place to ask Little Yu’er! See what she thinks, and if... I mean, if I want to bring Little Yu’er to live with me, would you... mind?" Nan Jiayan pondered for a while before cautiously probing.

"Little Yu’er is a very sensitive girl. If you leave her at your aunt’s without saying anything, she’ll definitely feel like you don’t want her anymore. For a little girl, a sense of security is really important and will have a significant impact on her growth. I imagine you don’t want her to grow up and end up constantly trying to please others, losing herself for a little bit of affection and love. Frankly speaking, I feel quite sorry for Little Yu’er, her intelligence and obedience aren’t appropriate for her age. Often, being too well-behaved makes her more likely to be overlooked." Lu Shishu watched the changing numbers above, her gaze cool and spoke calmly.

These things were not what she had experienced, but for her, someone with a delicate heart, a sense of security was indeed very important. It was something she had pursued since meeting Nan Jiayan, and often when she saw Little Yu’er, she couldn’t help but feel compassion for her, fearing that this little girl might grow up feeling lost due to a lack of security.

For a girl, nothing is more valuable than self-respect and self-love.

Before learning to love others, one must first learn how to love oneself.

"Well, I just know that, rest assured, what you’re worried about won’t happen. No matter how much I resent Nan Xueyou, I know that Little Yu’er is innocent, she’s a victim too. Her occasional docility makes my heart ache as well. Thank you, Shi Shu, thank you for your understanding and kindness. Meeting you has been the greatest fortune of my life." Nan Jiayan smiled, reached out and held her hand, squeezing it slightly, then after a moment of silence, spoke again: "Shi Shu, let’s... get married! Okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shishu was momentarily stunned. She didn’t even react when the elevator stopped, just stood there dazedly, her eyes somewhat unfocused as she stared at him, her lips trembling slightly, repeatedly asking: "What... did you just say?"
