Xie Jinghui is a beast. To cover up his own actions, he didn't hesitate to harm his own nephew, driving him to attempt suicide by jumping off a building and going on hunger strikes several times, yet Xie Jinghui remained indifferent and watched.
But Xie Qingchi had to run away.
Because he still needed to ask Shen Shuangjian if he had really fallen for his uncle, and to ask himself what he lacked compared to Xie Jinghui.
" Shen Shuangjian, are you still blaming me?" Xie Qingchi panicked at this moment, and naturally, all sorts of rude and shameless things would slip out. "Then I'll apologize to you. You can hit me, you can scold me, anything, can you..."
Can you please stop blaming me?
From beginning to end, Shen Shuangjian could not quite understand what Xie Qingchi was thinking, what he said, or what he did.
In his heart, he felt that Xie Qingchi was a very strange person. Sometimes he was eccentric and violent, and sometimes he was humble and submissive. He overlapped with the person in his memory, but there were always differences.
Shen Shuangjian looked up at Leng Dang and asked, "What did you say?"
At this moment, Xie Qingchi suddenly felt a deep sense of dissatisfaction and pain. He stared at Shen Shuangjian, wanting to question her with sharp words.
He wanted to question Shen Shuangjian about why she was willing to follow his uncle.
Why, then, did she ignore his attempts to please her?
Is it because of revenge?
But he hoped Shen Shuangjian hate him, hate him for the time he had caused him to be embarrassed and ridiculed.
If it's because of hatred, Xie Qingchi would be very willing to get entangled with him, even if he's being teased and his sincerity is trampled on.
At worst, I'll just try to find a tiny bit of sincerity within the pretense.
If it were because of power and wealth, Xie Qingchi might not have been afraid to compete with Xie Jinghui. What his uncle had, he could have too, as long as Shen Shuangjian was willing.
But Xie Qingchi, after much guessing, had to admit that Shen Shuangjian seemed to neither blame nor hate him, and didn't even want anything from him.
He had many grievances, but no matter how much he blamed others, he eventually realized that he held absolutely no place in Shen Shuangjian's heart.
He wouldn't even hate him.
"I... I like you. I don't want to let go. I'm not willing to give up like this. I'm not reconciled..."
Xie Qingchi lowered his head and used the driest words to express the heaviest emotions in his heart.
He refused to let go, refused to accept defeat, and refused to learn to let go. It was Xie Qingchi's nature to be like this; even if it meant mutual destruction and bloodshed, he was unwilling to learn to yield and let go.
Even if Shen Shuangjian really likes his uncle, he won't let them be together. He's determined to fight for it, to snatch it away. If he doesn't succeed the first time, he'll keep trying and will never stop.
"I really... like it."
But the next moment, a calm, cold voice rang in his ears, like a sharp blade, pinning Xie Qingchi to the coldest, most frigid spot.
What do you like?
A hint of doubt flickered in Shen Shuangjian's eyes. Amidst the wary and fearful expressions of those around her, Shen Shuangjian, puzzled, asked directly, "What do you like about me?"
Shen Shuangjian truly didn't understand why Xie Qingchi would say he liked her; how could someone suddenly fall in love with another person?
What do I like about him? -- This is a question Xie Qingchi cannot answer.
Because Xie Qingchi never even asked himself what he liked about Shen Shuangjian, or when he started liking him.
Even Xie Qingchi himself was conflicted.
Is he going to say it was love at first sight? But that would be too embarrassing, too frivolous and hasty, and would seem more like lust at first sight.
So, is it his personality? But he has clearly criticized Shen Shuangjian's personality more than once, blaming him for never speaking his mind and for being too reserved with his emotions.
If he were to say that feelings developed over time, then why had Shen Shuangjian completely ignored him and never taken the initiative to speak to him for so long?
He never even smiled at himself...
So what exactly was the reason, and when did he start paying excessive attention to Shen Shuangjian's every word and action, who she talked to, and who she interacted with?
When exactly did it start that he did so many stupid and foolish things for Shen Shuangjian, completely abandoning all dignity and pride?
Does he like Shen Shuangjian? Xie Qingchi sadly discovered that he couldn't seem to admit that he liked Shen Shuangjian.
Because if Xie Qingchi admits to liking Shen Shuangjian, then he will become a joke, a complete and utter joke.
Xie Qingchi was so distracted by the question that he didn't even hear Shen Shuangjian turn around and call out " Mr. Xie " as the car drove in.
" Shuangjian-- "
Xie Jinghui over in a hurry, and only after he Shen Shuangjian behind him did his hurried expression turn cold and sharp.
" Xie Qingchi!"
The slap, though painful, failed to bring Xie Qingchi to his senses; instead, it left him even more dazed and confused.
"Who gave you the audacity to come to the Shen Residence and cause trouble? Xie Qingchi, do you really want your mother to never see you again in the past five years?"
Xie Jinghui never denied his despicable nature.
He certainly couldn't bring himself to be ruthless towards Xie Qingchi, but to expect him to willingly back down and grant Xie Qingchi's wishful thinking simply because of their lingering blood ties was wishful thinking.
Anyway, the world is vast and the sky is high. Since he's not comfortable or well-behaved in the Capital, he might as well go somewhere even further away, somewhere where Shen Shuangjian him and will never be disturbed.
" Mr. Xie... where is my brother?"
Shen Shuangjian that she was being held in his arms and could neither see Xie Qingchi nor hear his voice fading away.
He looked up, his calm demeanor a result of trust, trying to glean information from Xie Jinghui about Shen Sixian's situation after he left.
"My brother is alright, I think he'll be back soon." Xie Jinghui rarely had the urge to tease.
As he entered, he glanced casually at the servants and security guards behind him, who were looking at each other in bewilderment.
waste.
Xie Jinghui Jinghui's smile faded imperceptibly, and she gained a completely new understanding of Shen Sixian's skills in managing subordinates.
"You haven't taken a nap yet, let me accompany you upstairs to rest," Xie Jinghui softly, her eyes lowered, as she coaxed Shen Shuangjian.
Shen Shuangjian the Shen Residence with the intention of resting, so he nodded slightly at Xie Jinghui's words without refusing.
Shen Shuangjian's room was on the second floor of the Shen Residence. This was Xie Jinghui's first time stepping into it, and it was entirely Shen Shuangjian's private space.
Shen Shuangjian's room style was both similar to and unlike him.
The bedroom has a spacious and square layout, with plenty of sunlight and soft colors. On the soft bed, the fluffy quilt is casually lifted, and a close-fitting nightgown is hidden in the corner.
The bedroom was warm and cozy, with no windows open for ventilation. Shen Shuangjian's faint, cool fragrance had been blended and evaporated, gradually evolving into a delicate scent with a hint of sweetness.
Shen Shuangjian's presence is everywhere here; it's a reflection of his lifestyle.
This is Shen Shuangjian's home.
