After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash

'Tch,' Ye Shu felt her head collide with a hard object, the pain caused her to flinch and rub her head while drawing in a sharp breath.

She slightly lifted her palm-sized face, and before she could utter an 'I'm sorry,' she met Sheng Shaochen's glare, which was ablaze with blue flames, a touch of panic fleeting through her eyes.

Ye Shu hastily tried to move aside.

Only to find that her hair had become entangled in one of his buttons.

Due to her panic, she pulled rather hastily, causing a tingling pain on her scalp, making her involuntarily frown.

The movement of her hands paused, and with some embarrassment, she lifted her palm-sized face again, her amber eyes crashing into Sheng Shaochen's deep blue eyes, as vast as the ocean.

His gaze seemed to have been fixed on her face for some time.

Ye Shu felt a bit foolish, her face blushing red with embarrassment, "Mr. Sheng, I'm sorry, it, it's stuck."

She pointed to her glossy black curls, trying to maintain elegance.

But the gesture at this moment was not quite graceful.

Sheng Shaochen's eyes flickered intensely, an emotion flashing by.

Ye Shu, slightly embarrassed, lowered her head. She thought, her current state must look somewhat silly, right?

With her head down, Ye Shu didn't dare to ask for his help again; she could only fumble, trying to untangle her hair from his well-made button based on feel.

Sheng Shaochen narrowed his eyes, his voice dropping a few notches darker than before, "Miss Ye, do you always have the habit of throwing yourself at men?"

"..." Ye Shu's movements stiffened.

Her heart filled with annoyance; indeed, she had been misunderstood.

"Mr. Sheng, do you think I need to do that?" They had already signed the agreement to have a child.

She was wholly his, why should she be so manipulative?

Sheng Shaochen did not expect her to react so calmly, a hint of astonishment flickering in his eyes before disappearing.

One hand pressed on her small head to keep her from moving, while the other neatly untangled the hair from his button, "Whether it's necessary or not, Miss Ye knows best."

Sheng Shaochen freed the last strand of hair and tucked it behind Ye Shu's ear, his gaze sweeping over her from top to bottom, examining her now almost translucently blushing self, "For instance, how quickly Miss Ye has come to understand my preferences."

His preferences?

Ye Shu straightened her somewhat disheveled hair and corrected her posture, intentionally keeping a half-meter distance from him, she frowned and scrutinized him.

His demeanor was cold and detached, like a king lofty and above, making people uncomfortable.

But the corner of her eye caught him glancing sideways at the hem of her mazarine blue chiffon dress.

Ye Shu suddenly realized, so he preferred women in blue; no wonder the first gift sent was a Prada outfit complete in sky blue.

It was merely a coincidence that she also liked blue, yet this could lead to such a misunderstanding by Sheng Shaochen—it seemed Mr. Sheng's sense of superiority was excessively strong.

Ye Shu tugged at the hem of her chiffon dress.

With a smile in her eyes, she brightened her sparkling gaze, took a deep breath, "Mr. Sheng, do you really think that all the women in the world should be fighting tooth and nail to please you?"
