Su Xing could probably guess that Shen Jingyu was also trying to test Han Ruoxi. If she lacked the psychological resilience, just knowing these truths would be enough to torment her for a while.
"I know about today’s meal! You two can enjoy it slowly!"
Han Ruoxi lowered her eyes, and her departing figure appeared somewhat desolate. Su Xing could clearly sense that Han Ruoxi would delve deeply into this matter, and it had indeed affected her significantly.
"Shen Jingyu, should we send someone to follow her? I think she might be in a vulnerable state right now."
"You bought a house by the sea?" Shen Jingyu suddenly interjected.
Su Xing blinked in confusion. "When did this happen? How come I didn’t know?"
"I’ll buy you one tomorrow. It saves you from meddling so much; soon there won’t be enough room at home for you!" Shen Jingyu’s words made Su Xing feel a surge of irritation.
"Who do you think I’m doing this for? I don’t want you to feel so much pressure! And you dare to mock me here!"
Su Xing angrily reached for the chopsticks to pick up some food. The flavors at Wangyue Tower seemed tailor-made for him; he believed that in this life, love and good food should never be neglected!
Shen Jingyu looked at his woman, who, despite being of considerable age, could still puff up like a young girl when angry. Especially when she was eating in frustration, her cheeks would puff out adorably. To Shen Jingyu’s eyes, she was simply irresistible.
Despite the playful banter, after Su Xing had mentioned Han Ruoxi, Shen Jingyu directly called Luo Hao in front of him and instructed him to keep an eye on Han Ruoxi's movements in the near future.
If nothing unexpected happened, Han Ruoxi wouldn’t go near Geng Rui anymore. This action could potentially provoke that man; he wasn’t someone who would remain oblivious, so they needed to be cautious.
Listening to Shen Jingyu instructing people to protect Han Ruoxi, Su Xing felt no trace of resentment in his heart. She was merely a benefactor's sister, and Shen Jingyu’s willingness to do all this genuinely pleased him.
Su Xing never wanted Shen Jingyu to revert to his past self—depressed, negative, and closed off from the world. He wished for him to live freely and openly!
Shen Jingyu said little more. As soon as he noticed the slightest change in Su Xing’s expression, he understood everything.
"Are you satisfied now? My great steward? My virtuous assistant!"
"How much are you giving me? I can’t be bothered with your affairs! Next time don’t drag me along; being with you might just attract disdain from others! How unfair is that?"
When handling matters on her own, Su Xing had her own methods, but it seemed that whenever she was beside Shen Jingyu, she would fall into a somewhat uncontrollable state.
It could be said that love was indeed captivating; she would unknowingly change for this man, even when faced with unexpected situations.
Shen Jingyu quietly took out his wallet from his pocket and handed it entirely over to Su Xing.
You have control over everything, including my identity card. You know all my passwords, and you can guess all my thoughts. Therefore, you are destined to be my personal steward for life!
With all my assets offered as reward, Su Xing could only say, "Let's eat quickly! I've been hungry all day!"
Shen Jingyu looked at the woman and couldn't help but chuckle. He picked up a bowl and chopsticks, turning to silently help remove the fish bones for her.
When Su Xing saw a piece of fish meat without bones in his bowl, he was astonished but soon thought of who he learned this from. It was hard to tell if it was his brotherly or sisterly affection, but Rong Xigu and Lu Xiangyi, that little couple, truly had a good relationship!
Su Xing quietly added some of Shen Jingyu's favorite dishes to his plate. The two enjoyed their unique sweetness in silence, savoring the moment.
Meanwhile, Han Ruoxi drove alone, not even knowing where he intended to go! He used to have doubts about many things but never pursued them further. Perhaps it was because he had Shen Jingyu as a spiritual anchor that he gradually overlooked many issues.
However, when the reality of the situation confronted him today, the heavy stone in Han Ruoxi's heart pressed down on him once again!
Unknowingly, Han Ruoxi drove out to the outskirts, arriving at a familiar fork in the road. He got onto the highway and spent an entire afternoon and night driving until he reached an ancient little town.
This was the true hometown of Han Shuo and Han Ruoxi—a relatively remote and underdeveloped place. The siblings had no relatives here, but they lived for several years in this town. Han Ruoxi never knew what his mother looked like; his brother never spoke of her or described her.
Han Shuo always taught Han Ruoxi to look forward; looking back held little significance. He encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone and face greater challenges in order to grow.
Thus, Han Ruoxi had been pursuing progress all this time but lacked the sincerity that her brother had.
By a flower field in the distant mountains, Han Ruoxi would quietly return every year. Next to it stood a tombstone that she had erected herself.
Years ago, Han Shuo sacrificed himself while saving someone, leaving no chance to recover his body. In this makeshift grave, she placed his favorite clothes and kept their promise on how to take care of each other's affairs after death.
They both believed they might never start families of their own due to the pain from their original family; perhaps no one would love them—people without background or support.
Moreover, Han Ruoxi struggled for years to face the fact that she had been abandoned. What kind of mother would not love her own child?
Brother Han was unaware of the situation, but from the moment Han Ruoxi came into the world, she was destined to be abandoned. Even in death, she never revealed a word about why she was forsaken or what her family had endured.
Han Ruoxi had a vague sense that Han Shuo must know something, a truth drenched in blood that he would never share with her. Later, she encountered Shen Jingyu and could guess that her brother had sacrificed himself to save him.
There was also a martyr's cemetery dedicated to him, but Han Ruoxi only visited this place to pay tribute to her brother.
That night, Han Ruoxi found herself alone in the flower fields on the hillside, crying for a long time until the moon hung high and the sun rose. Fortunately, beside her, she had built a house. She once thought that after all the sails had passed and the splendor faded, she would return to this place and keep vigil with her brother until she too would remain there.
