Su Xing frowned repeatedly as Shen Jingyu's strong arm pressed against her waist.
"Shen Jingyu, let go of me! Xiao Xingfu is so heartbroken; you should be holding her!"
Every word from Su Xing was laced with thorns, pushing Shen Jingyu to the brink of exploding with frustration.
"Is this how you define our relationship? After all those years, have you ever felt anything for me?"
"You know the answer!"
Su Xing coolly regarded the man she had been entangled with for ten years, a mix of love and hate for five. How could he ask such a question? Did he truly lack feelings?
Not moved! Not moved at all! Did Sister Yueyue send you money?
Not moved! Did Sister steal moments from her busy life to chat with you about everything under the sun, only to see her depression lifted and her ambitions reignited, leaving to chase dreams abroad and then return as a queen?
Not moved! Did Sister earn eight thousand a month and give you five thousand? She still had a dim-witted younger brother to support!
But now, it was better not to dwell on the past; memories were hers alone to bear. After all, they had no future together.
Su Xing forced herself to say, "My only flaw I wish to change is my overflowing compassion. You are just like my brother, who lost his father at an even younger age than you. My feelings for you are merely pity."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Xing could feel the pain in Shen Jingyu's eyes and the nameless fury that surged within him.
Yet she steeled herself to continue, "Now, we all have our own lives. There's no need to hold on to the past too tightly; it only adds burdens to each other."
"Su Xing! Do you think I'm your burden? Why didn't you say this ten years ago?"
Shen Jingyu's gaze bore into Su Xing, trapping her within his sphere of influence with nowhere to escape.
It was true that Su Xing had not fully taken over the bar yet, but because Shen Jingyu had joined the military and gone to college, she had little money left after supporting her brother's expenses each month. Yet she still managed to maintain a carefree demeanor while coaxing him into accepting her financial help.
If anyone was a burden here, it was Shen Jingyu who had truly become Su Xing's weight to carry over the past ten years.
He believed they shared a mutual understanding; although he had never confessed and she had never spoken it aloud, they had reached an unspoken agreement long ago.
Now, however, Su Xing was intent on creating distance between them!
If during these five years Su Xing had shown even a hint of affection for someone else, Shen Jingyu wouldn't have been able to keep his composure until today when he finally confronted her!
But she hadn't; her reputation was built by others' words, but her character was nurtured by herself.
Shen Jingyu knew just how virtuous Su Xing was. If it weren't for tonight when she nearly broke down facing Du Meng's family threats, he might still be contemplating how to appear before her with more grace!
I will just do good deeds and not ask about the future. Who knows that you actually have feelings for me?
Let me tell you! You disappeared without a word for five years! You, with your extraordinary background and noble lineage, pretended to be poor and weak!
Su Xing felt not only the distance between them but also a vague frustration brewing inside her.
Her lively eyes looked at Shen Jingyu, filled with unspoken affection.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Then let me decide your future. Be my wife, Shen Jingyu. From now on, all my glory will be yours; my life and fortune will belong to you."
It doesn't matter who my ancestors are; what matters is that I have always admired you since I was saved from the brink of death by you fifteen years ago.
Is it fatal? The male god is taking a sentimental route, purely tempting this single sister?
However, if he had said these words five or even fifteen years ago, Su Xing would have undoubtedly taken his hand and walked into the future with him.
But now...
Cough cough, A Yu, sister hasn’t been the kind who can be wooed away by sweet words since fifteen years ago. A man’s promises sound less convincing than a mere fart in my ears.
Su Xing met Shen Jingyu's suddenly furious gaze but remained calm as she said, "Thank you for saving me today. I'm glad to see you again; I hope we can still be friends."
I need to see my brother now; please excuse me.
The forced smile on Su Xing's face nearly drove Shen Jingyu to the edge of fury.
Yet he was unwilling to show his harsh and serious demeanor in front of her.
Just that soft "A Yu" made him lose all his authority!
This woman, Su Xing, would undoubtedly be a fortress he would spend his life trying to conquer.
Shen Jingyu stood at the door without moving, glancing inside the room where Su Xing was already talking to the doctor. He lit a cigarette between his fingers.
At that moment, inside the room, Su Xing was not as composed as she appeared before turning around. With her back to Shen Jingyu, her false smile had long since faded. She missed most of what the doctor said about Su He’s condition.
By the time the doctors left and Su He was settled into this luxurious two-bedroom suite hospital room, she knew she had to change this place as soon as possible.
Just as Su He finally caught his breath and surveyed the room, he spoke first: "Sister, when did you get involved with that guy named Shen Jingyu? Is he really some rich heir? What does it mean when he says he wants to marry you?"
With so many expert doctors arranged here treating you so respectfully, isn’t that deliberately trying to please you?
But can he really deal with Du Ba Pi? Given today’s situation, Du Meng won’t let it go easily, right?
Su He had a protective brace around his neck, and both arms and his left calf were encased in plaster. Despite his disheveled appearance, he still harbored a naive and innocent heart that refused to grow up.
Su Xing spoke to him sharply, "Su He, what am I supposed to say to you?! Just a moment ago at the bar, weren’t you all tough? You were ready to go head-to-head with Du Meng! And now you come crawling back, hoping someone else will solve your problems for you?! Are you really waiting for the day when you completely sell me out before you finally settle down and mature?"
She continued, "Let me tell you, if it weren't for Mom's sake, do you think I would even bother with you?!"
"Hey, Sister Shenwu, this time it wasn't as dangerous as it seemed!" he replied sheepishly. "Besides, that Du Meng came over just to provoke us and bully us siblings. I don’t think it’s wrong to curse him out a bit!"
Su He was somewhat clever but always too impulsive in any situation.
Su Xing furrowed her brows and asked him, "What exactly happened between you and Du Meng? Is she really pregnant? And then you suspect she doesn’t want the baby anymore? How could you possibly do something so despicable?"
"Oh come on, Sister! Can you stop being so imaginative?" Su He protested. "Du Meng and I are in a serious relationship. Honestly, she’s been acting strangely these past few days—her personality has changed completely. She won’t meet up when I ask, and when I message her, she just says hurtful things. In a fit of anger, I broke up with her! But I truly didn’t know she was pregnant!"
"If this child is mine, I would definitely take responsibility!" he added earnestly. "But she’s been acting so out of character and saying those things that I can’t even tell if the baby is mine! Plus, with her brother causing such a scene, what’s the point anymore? It’s better to cut ties cleanly!"
Su Xing glared at Su He in frustration. "Shut up! You said she’s only been messaging you these past few days—did you even hear her voice? Did you have a video call?"
Su He stared blankly and shook his head, inadvertently hitting his neck injury in the process, causing him to wince in pain.
Su Xing was exasperated with her brother. "You brainless fool! You can’t even protect your own girlfriend and yet you’re doubting her? You’re nothing but scum! Think carefully about it—who have you really been chatting with these past few days? Is it really Du Meng?"
