Zhong Lingyu asked Shen Huaizhou how he would choose if she insisted on keeping him on the night of his birthday.
Shen Huaizhou touched her face, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Everything has passed, there are no ifs and what-ifs."
He did not answer the question directly.
Zhong Lingyu had an answer in his heart.
If it happened again, Shen Huaizhou would probably leave her and find Wen Qingyu.
But now, he didn't answer her questions directly because he was afraid of telling the truth and making her angry.
Zhong Lingyu was completely silent.
In the past half month, there have always been two villains fighting in her heart.
One person advised her that Shen Huaizhou was sincere and could be relied upon.
The other person advised her that she was not Shen Huaizhou's only one. She could only rely on herself for everything in the world. She should leave herself an escape route in this relationship.
She was confused in every possible way.
Now, Zhong Lingyu understood Shen Huaizhou's attitude.
She really shouldn't bet everything on Shen Huaizhou.
Their relationship was not as strong as she imagined.
Thinking of this, Zhong Lingyu felt very sad, but inexplicably felt relieved.
She looked at Shen Huaizhou and said softly: "Wen Qingyu is now the apple of the Jin family's eyes, and he has grown up with you, and you two are not cousins. If you marry Wen Qingyu, you must It's more appropriate, both in appearance and family background, they match well."
Shen Huaizhou's face suddenly turned ugly.
He stared at her calm little face and warned in a low voice, "You are angry because you are angry. Let's have a good talk, or you can scold me a few times. It doesn't matter. Besides, I regard Xiaoyu as my sister, and I have never If you’ve ever thought about marrying her, stop saying such nonsense.”
"If Jin Shihong threatens you to marry Wen Qingyu, will you marry him or not?" Zhong Lingyu ignored Shen Huaizhou's words.
She continued to question him.
Shen Huaizhou believed that his relationship with Wen Qingyu was innocent, and he didn't like her being so aggressive.
He took out a cigarette and lit it, puffing away the smoke quietly.
A thin layer of green smoke enveloped his eyebrows and gradually dispersed in the air.
His expression became colder, "Wen Qingyu regards me as her brother. She doesn't want to marry me. Jin Shihong responds to her requests and will not force Wen Qingyu to marry against her wishes. You said these words to me, Ask me this kind of question again...Are you mocking me, or are you deliberately venting your anger on me?"
Shen Huaizhou felt disgusted by such things as unethical love.
Zhong Lingyu always made the relationship between Wen Qingyu and him unclear. No matter how much he doted on Zhong Lingyu, he couldn't help but get angry.
He took a long drag on the cigarette and quickly put it out.
However, Zhong Lingyu was not mocking or venting his anger.
She was just wary of the relationship between Shen Huaizhou and Wen Qingyu.
And Shen Huaizhou didn't know it at all.
He stubbornly felt that Wen Qingyu's feelings for him, like his feelings for Wen Qingyu, were a simple brother-sister relationship.
Even if she said it openly, Shen Huaizhou still didn't want to believe that Wen Qingyu's feelings for him had deteriorated.
Because of Wen Qingyu, Zhong Lingyu felt insecure.
She has worries about her relationship with Shen Huaizhou.
Shen Huaizhou could not solve her worries.
It's like a knot that's hard to open.
That's why she asked, hoping that Shen Huaizhou would give her the answer she wanted.
But Shen Huaizhou couldn't give it.
In the end, Zhong Lingyu chose to stop the topic and did not respond.
And her reaction was like acquiescence.
Shen Huaizhou rubbed his brows and stepped forward to hold her in his arms, "Lingyu, I think you should give me a little more trust and stop thinking so wildly, eh?"
He patiently coaxed her.
Zhong Lingyu didn't mess around either.
She snuggled into his arms meekly and said calmly: "What I said before, you can just think of me as nonsense."
Shen Huaizhou didn't hear the perfunctory tone in her tone.
I just felt that the harsh words she said before were still because she was angry because he left her to see Wen Qingyu on the night of his birthday.
That's all he coaxed.
Shen Huaizhou had already prepared an apology gift.
He gently put a delicate and expensive diamond necklace on her neck.
"While working in Xiangcheng, I passed by a jewelry store. I caught my eye at this one at first sight. It suits you very well." Shen Huaizhou pushed her long, satin-like hair away from the chain.
The gem, the size of a dove egg, shines with a dazzling light.
It sticks to her fair skin, making it even more radiant.
Shen Huaizhou pecked her lips.
Zhong Lingyu turned away calmly, raised his hands, and took off the diamond necklace.
She said: "It's time to go to bed. Wearing it at night will be uncomfortable."
With that said, she casually stuffed the necklace back into Shen Huaizhou's hand.
Shen Huaizhou faintly felt her coldness.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and pushed the necklace back again, "It's for you. If you don't want to wear it, put it away."
Zhong Lingyu casually placed the necklace on the bedside table.
It's like placing an unimportant item.
Shen Huaizhou was also a little angry.
He said: "You said so much just now, I want to ask you now, if I didn't interfere in the matter between you and Chen Tingze, would you choose Chen Tingze or me?"
Normally, Zhong Lingyu would scold him angrily.
Because she felt that she had clearly rejected Chen Tingze's intention.
She and Chen Tingze are truly innocent.
But now, Zhong Lingyu didn't even bother to give it to him.
She turned her back to him, lying on her side on the bed, and only said, "It has happened, there are no what-ifs."
This is what Shen Huaizhou said to Zhong Lingyu just now.
Shen Huaizhou choked hard.
For a moment, he was speechless.
He could only stare at her thin and thin back in frustration, sulking alone.
At the same time, a hint of uneasiness arose in his heart.
Shen Huaizhou reached out and held her waist, pressing his chest against her back.
She was clearly in his arms, but he always felt that she was far away.
Unable to tell what he was feeling, Shen Huaizhou could only hug her tightly and whisper in her ear: "If you really don't want me and Wen Qingyu to get close, I'll try to stay away."
Zhong Lingyu didn't take these words to heart at all.
After all, Shen Huaizhou and Wen Qingyu were fake siblings who grew up together.
Wen Qingyu is also the daughter of the Jin family.
And Shen Huaizhou coveted the Jin family's arms channels.
The inextricable relationship seems to be unavoidable no matter how hard you try to avoid it.
She said calmly: "If you and Wen Qingyu get close, I won't say anything. You don't have to worry about this kind of thing anymore."
Shen Huaizhou was not sure whether she was telling the truth or a lie.
He raised his head slightly, stared at the side of her face, and asked, "Are you talking out of anger or sincerely?"
"Seriously!"
Zhong Lingyu replied to him without hesitation.
She really didn't need to care about Shen Huaizhou and Wen Qingyu.
After cleaning up Mu Denglan and settling everything in the Zhong family, she will leave Yuncheng and go to live in Shaocheng.
At that time, Shen Huaizhou and Wen Qingyu had nothing to do with her.
However, Shen Huaizhou would definitely not allow her to leave.
From now on, she must learn to disguise and pretend to be docile.
Shen Huaizhou would not suspect that she was leaving.
When the time comes, she can leave smoothly.
