A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 13: Have you learned to bully others?

"That doesn't matter! It's enough that I like you."

He is not very old, but he had already started to get involved in the family business several years ago, and was personally taught by Old Master Shen. He already had real power in his hands.

He is not a spoiled brat who has to obey his family's arrangements in everything.

His parents couldn't control his thoughts, and besides, his grandfather supported him.

But Tang Wanwan shook her head, "This is very important."

Her tone was firm, and there was no hint of joking in her voice.

Shen Xianyu looked at her, his expression gradually changing.

After a long pause, he forced a smile. "Wanwan, if you don't want to get engaged, then we won't. I'll talk to my mom. She doesn't dislike you; who would dislike you? She just..."

"She just didn't like my sickly body,"

Tang Wanwan continued, "I know that, apart from that, your mother doesn't dislike me, but my health won't get better."

She looked up at him and said, word by word, "As long as I'm with you, my health will never get better."

As long as I'm with you, my health will never get better...

"...What do you mean?" Shen Xianyu tightened his grip on her hand, pressing closer to her. "Wanwan, what do you mean by that?"

The force on her arm suddenly increased, causing Tang Wanwan to frown slightly.

With a 'ding' sound.

The elevator doors opened at that moment.

Upon seeing the scene inside, the people standing outside were taken aback. "What's going on here?"

As he spoke, the newcomer grasped Shen Xianyu's shoulder, "Let's talk this out, let go first."

Shen Xianyu turned around, "Uncle?"

Shen Zhixing ignored him.

He glanced down at the girl who was being held back in the corner of the elevator.

Her eyelids were slightly red, as if she had been badly bullied by her boyfriend, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

"in argument?"

Seeing him look over, Tang Wanwan's lips trembled slightly, and she called out, "Uncle."

After saying that, she broke free from Shen Xianyu's hand and ran out of the elevator.

Shen Xianyu was about to chase after him, but his shoulder was gripped tightly.

"Uncle, let go!"

Shen Zhixing showed no intention of letting go.

He frowned slightly, staring at his nephew. "You've gotten quite something, haven't you? You've learned to bully people now?"

"No! How could I bear to bully her!" Shen Xianyu exclaimed anxiously. "She just arrived in the capital. What if she gets lost if she runs off like this!"

This concern is quite valid.

Fortunately, Tang Wanwan was sitting by the flowerbed not far from the hospital building.

Wearing a light green dress, the hem of which barely covered her thighs when she sat down. She had a slender figure and sat in the shade under the tree. Her skin was as white as snow, dazzlingly so.

This inpatient building houses VIP wards, and the patients coming and going are not ordinary patients. It was the height of summer, very hot, and most of them were in a hurry.

In just a short while, passersby unconsciously slowed down, just to catch a glimpse of her.

“Wanwan,” Shen Xianyu strode over and squatted down in front of her, “It’s my mother’s fault for making you suffer. I will talk to her nicely and make sure she accepts you.”

The summer sun was blinding, and it was almost noon. He squatted on the ground, looking up at her, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his eyes full of sincere love.

Perhaps only those with hearts of stone can remain unmoved.

Tang Wanwan looked at him for a while, as if trying to memorize his appearance.

After a long silence, she spoke softly, "Shen Xianyu, let's break up."

The surroundings fell silent for a moment after she finished speaking.

Shen Xianyu seemed not to have heard clearly, "...What?"

“I said, let’s split…” “Tang Wanwan!”

Those two words stung Shen Xianyu's temples, and he tried his best to soften his tone, "Don't say such hurtful things."

"It was my fault about the engagement; I shouldn't have used Grandpa to pressure you,"

"I promise you, I'll listen to you whenever you want to get engaged, and you can make all the decisions. We won't argue."

He didn't want to argue with her at all.

Shen Xianyu took her hand, which was resting on her knee, and gently kissed it. "I will not break up with you. I will never break up with you in this lifetime. Don't even think about it."

Tang Wanwan was not surprised by his intense reaction to the sudden breakup proposal.

She looked down at him.

This is a very beautiful face.

With clear eyebrows and bright eyes, a delicate nose, clean and smooth facial lines, and red lips and white teeth.

Regardless of what happens in dreams, at least Shen Xianyu is really doing well now.

He was so good to her that she actually considered sacrificing her health to be with him.

But his parents' disapproval made her lose all her last bit of hesitation.

They were destined to break up.

Tang Wanwan was a little sad. She pursed her lips and said, "If you think about it calmly, you'll realize that your mother is right. We really aren't suitable for each other."

"My health has never gotten better, you..."

"I don't care!" Shen Xianyu interrupted quickly. "I love you no matter what. Don't worry about what other people think. This is our own business, and I can make my own decisions!"

My boyfriend is so stubborn.

Tang Wanwan felt helpless.

"You didn't care at twenty, but what about at thirty?" She met his gaze. "Are you really planning to stay with this broken body of mine and remain a virgin for the rest of your life?"

Her words were so direct that Shen Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and the tips of her ears quickly turned a light red.

“Of course,” he said, blushing, “I only want you anyway.”

"..."

Tang Wanwan remained silent, not saying a word, just staring at him.

Shen Xianyu was afraid of her gaze, and her refusal to respond to his future seemed to contain a lot of helplessness.

He sounded a little aggrieved: "You don't believe me?"

"No, I believe you. I believe you are speaking from the heart at this moment."

Tang Wanwan smiled and said, "But Shen Xianyu, the future is too long, and you are too outstanding. I dare not gamble on it."

"Wanwan!"

"Let me finish speaking first,"

Tang Wanwan said earnestly, "Breaking up wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; I've had this concern for a long time, and it wasn't until Auntie's words today that I made up my mind."

“You love me now, so your parents’ attitude may not matter to you right now, but I can’t deceive myself into thinking it doesn’t matter, Shen Xianyu. I can’t let myself enter into a relationship that isn’t blessed by my boyfriend’s parents. Can you understand?”

She was only eighteen years old and had grown up surrounded by the love of her family.

What we have in abundance is the courage to believe in love.

She believed in Shen Xianyu's love.

If she were healthy, even if she had that absurd dream and knew that he would fall in love with the 'female lead' in the future, Tang Wanwan thought she would still muster all her courage to take the gamble.

But now, her body can't wait.

She needs Jiang Yanzhi.

In the distance, Shen Zhixing, who had come down from upstairs to visit a sick person, saw them and walked over.

"What's going on?" He glanced at the tense atmosphere between the two, raising an eyebrow. "What's causing you two to argue so fiercely?"
