What a Huge Vine!
So Xu Hongdou steeled herself and said very seriously, "Wang Yue said he had a way to make your body healthier. But from what I know of him, he was probably being conservative. I think it could let you and me grow old together, little by little. It's just that this is a Wang family secret. You should understand what that means."
Chen Nanxing was stunned. She'd thought her illness was incurable, and she'd already been satisfied that Wang Yue could help her live a little longer. But from what Xu Hongdou was saying, it seemed she might not have to die after all.
But she quickly understood what Xu Hongdou meant: she could only learn the secret if she became part of the Wang family. Only then could she keep on living.
After a long hesitation, she bit her lip and shook her head. "If it were anything else, I might choose to do it. But competing with you for a man? No. I'm already satisfied with living a little longer."
Xu Hongdou had known Chen Nanxing would say that. She shot Wang Yue a rueful look, then leaned close to Chen Nanxing's ear and said helplessly, "You should know A Yue's personality by now, at least a little. He's softhearted. If you just tell him you like him, he definitely won't be able to bear letting you die like this."
Xu Hongdou's words left Chen Nanxing's thoughts in a jumble. Saying that in front of Xu Hongdou would be more painful than being killed. But what Xu Hongdou had said did tempt her.
After all, what would happen if she said it? As long as she didn't interfere with their relationship, there wouldn't be a problem.
Wang Yue had sharp ears and keen senses.
