After the Marriage Agreement, I Was Entangled by a Gentle CEO chapter 6

Chapter 6: Saved by a Hero

Lying awake with his eyes open until dawn, Shen Zhouyue finally felt a bit of drowsiness when he heard rustling sounds from the next room.

He lay in bed, too lazy to move, until he heard the sound of the door opening.

He guessed Yu Tingzhou had gone out.

But the sound didn’t fade away; instead, it got closer.

Shen Zhouyue opened his eyes in confusion and saw Yu Tingzhou, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, standing by his bed.

Because of what happened last night, the atmosphere between them was a bit awkward.

Shen Zhouyue sat up hugging the quilt. His loose pajamas slipped slightly, revealing his delicate collarbone.

He lowered his head, his tone cold. “Something the matter?”

“I’m having lunch with a client. I won’t be back.”

Why does that sound so much like a husband reporting his schedule to his wife!

Such a thought suddenly popped into Shen Zhouyue’s mind.

He shook his head vigorously, throwing this absurd notion out.

Then he nodded perfunctorily. “I know, you should go!”

His eagerness to chase him away made Yu Tingzhou look displeased.

“Don’t forget we are here for a honeymoon. Remember to take more photos.”

Leaving this task behind, Yu Tingzhou turned and left.

Shen Zhouyue sat on the bed, hugging the quilt, still a bit dazed.

Take photos?

What kind of photos?

He had absolutely no experience with this, so he took out his phone to search for answers online.

Netizens had differing opinions, and no one could give a unified standard.

Helpless, Shen Zhouyue could only get dressed and go out to take a look.

It was also a perfect opportunity to buy a souvenir for An’an!

Having made up his mind, Shen Zhouyue instantly felt energized.

He changed his clothes and started searching for nearby shops suitable for buying specialty items.

Soon, he locked onto a shop selling Rubik’s Cubes.

Because of An’an’s poor health, there were many things he couldn’t play with.

The Rubik’s Cube was one of the few toys he liked and could actually play with.

Shen Zhouyue planned to pick out a new Rubik’s Cube for An’an.

The shop wasn’t big, but it was filled with all kinds of Rubik’s Cubes, dazzling the eyes.

Shen Zhouyue quickly locked onto a specific model. Just as he was about to take it and pay, another hand snatched it away.

Frowning, he looked to his side and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes.

There was only one of this model left. Shen Zhouyue hesitantly called out to the man who was about to leave, “Sir… could you please let me have this Rubik’s Cube?”

The man was somewhat surprised, obviously not expecting someone to make such a request.

He refused immediately. “Sorry, I also like this Rubik’s Cube very much.”

Shen Zhouyue beat a retreat. He apologized in a small voice and left the shop, not noticing the strange look in the man’s eyes as he watched his retreating back.

After leaving the Rubik’s Cube shop, Shen Zhouyue wanted to find another similar shop, but his search yielded nothing.

Just as he was passing an alley, he was suddenly blocked.

The people blocking him looked somewhat familiar.

Shen Zhouyue thought for a long time but couldn’t recall their identities.

He frowned and asked in confusion, “Do you… want something?”

The people blocking him had spread out at some point, cutting off his escape route.

No matter how naive Shen Zhouyue was, he realized they had bad intentions.

Not to mention, he was actually quite smart.

“You’re pretty tough, kid. We grabbed your suitcase, so you had someone beat us up and even tried to send us to the police station?”

One of the men, whose face was covered in bruises, spoke first, explaining their purpose.

Shen Zhouyue felt speechless in his heart.

Is it wrong to retrieve my lost luggage?

As for beating people up, I never ordered that. Did Yu Tingzhou have someone do it?

He gripped the backpack in his hand tightly. Seeing their appearance, he felt they wouldn’t let him off easily, and nervousness rose in his heart.

His health had always been poor, and he had a coagulation dysfunction. A small injury might be fine, but if he was seriously injured, his life might be in danger.

Better… better think of a way to escape first…

The thought appeared in Shen Zhouyue’s mind.

The moment the thought appeared, he didn’t hesitate. He swung the backpack in his hand directly at one person’s face.

There was a sharp ornament on the backpack that would hurt immensely if it hit someone.

The targeted man retreated hurriedly, creating a gap in the encirclement.

Shen Zhouyue immediately seized the opportunity and rushed toward the gap.

He wasn’t slow, but the others behind him weren’t slow either.

Shen Zhouyue didn’t dare look back. He could only close his eyes and rush forward blindly.

“Damn it, you still dare to run!”

The men caught up quickly.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer behind him, Shen Zhouyue looked increasingly panicked.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. Without noticing, he crashed headfirst into the person’s arms.

Shen Zhouyue looked up blankly and saw a face he had seen once before.

Wasn’t this the gentleman he met in the Rubik’s Cube shop?

The people behind had already caught up.

Shen Zhouyue glanced back, then hurriedly dragged the man he had bumped into, trying to run forward.

The man hadn’t quite recovered from the shock when Shen Zhouyue dragged him forward.

He grabbed Shen Zhouyue’s hand in return, used a little force, and pulled Shen Zhouyue to a stop.

His hand was large, completely enveloping Shen Zhouyue’s hand.

The posture was too intimate. Shen Zhouyue, who wasn’t used to intimate contact with strangers, immediately pulled his hand away and looked at the man in confusion.

“They’re catching up!”

The man appeared very calm. When those people chased up to them, he executed a few crisp, clean moves and knocked them down directly.

Shen Zhouyue realized why the man didn’t run—these people posed no danger to him at all.

He silently took a few steps back, leaving the battlefield to the man.

The remaining few were also easily subdued by the man.

The man contacted someone, and soon people arrived to take the thugs away.

“You… you’re amazing!”

“I saved you; how do you plan to repay me?”

Their voices spoke at the same time.

The man looked at the admiration in Shen Zhouyue’s eyes and suddenly felt a bit unnatural.

He coughed, rubbed the tip of his nose, and said, “It was okay.”
