Chapter 114 Separation (1/2)
The joy of the reunion with Shanshan had been replaced by a deep frustration, which had not been felt by Shen Xinglan for a long time. He had already said that he would protect A Miao from any future harm.
But now, it was he who personally hurt her...
”Go.” A Miao looked at him calmly. ”Otherwise, I'll have to move back to school.”
Shen Xinglan did not move. After a while, he suddenly said, ”You don't believe me, so you are jealous.”
”I am jealous.” A Miao's candor made Shen Xinglan's mood better, and at the same time, he felt that he had not done well.
A Miao drew back her hand. ”Let's both calm down for a while, perhaps we will discover that the other person is not that important.”
”I don't need to.” Shen Xinglan immediately refused.
”But I need to.” A Miao sighed. ”You at least need to spend a few days to understand how you feel about Shanshan.”
Shen Xinglan squinted his eyes. ”You really don't believe me. I said that I liked you, and I chose you.”
”And what if Shanshan likes you?” A Miao asked him, ”Are you so ruthless as to refuse her?”
This was the most embarrassing issue. Shen Xinglan could disdain all people, but it happened that Shanshan, the most beautiful savior in his memory, he could not refuse...
”Can't you answer?” A Miao pushed him away. ”Go back and think about it. I won't bother to see you out.”
Looking at A Miao's head, which did not look back into the room, Shen Xinglan sat on the sofa for a long time. At first, his eyes were still full of confusion and hesitation.
But soon afterward, those emotions were gone, and he lifted the corners of his mouth and stood up.
”A Miao.” He went over to the door and called back through it. ”This time, it was my fault, so I will listen to your leave for three days.
”You must come back to me in three days.” With a charming radiance streaking through his eyes, Shen Xinglan said, ”I will let you know my choice.”
With that, he quickly left and, at the moment of closing the door, spit out the words he had not spoken.
”You have always been the only one. How can I choose?”
At Shen's villa—
”Where is Shen?” Sitting on the sofa, Lil Xi had a notebook in his hand. Next to him was the confused Shanshan.
Le Yi gently pared an apple and handed it to Shanshan. ”Don't you think things are not messy enough for you to stay honest?”
”He won't go to see that woman, will he?” Lil Xi finished scolding with his finger and dropped the computer on the table. ”Who sent the news? I'm going to hack him.”
Shanshan gnawed at the apple and leaned in curiously. ”What did you say? What happened yesterday?”
”The media actually said that yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding. You are a childhood friend of Shen. He did not break up with the girl named A Miao.”
”Lil Xi...” Shanshan pushed him with an embarrassed face. ”Don't keep doing this. Shen and I are brother and sister!”
Le Yi glanced at the computer and said, ”Shen moves very fast.”
”What do you mean?” Lil Xi shot him a glare. ”It was Shen? Why would he do that?”
”Because I can't let my woman be wronged.” Shen Xinglan came in from the outside.
Shanshan went up to him happily. ”Brother Xinglan!”
”Are you all right?” Shen Xinglan touched her head. ”Le Yi has arranged for you to go to the hospital with him for a detailed examination in the next few days.”
Lil Xi cried out, ”Shen, do you really like that woman? What about Shanshan?”
”Lil Xi!” Shanshan covered his mouth. ”Don't talk nonsense.” She stamped her foot hurriedly. ”How can I have the face to see A Miao after you've done this?”
”Why did you see her?” Lil Xi pushed her aside and shouted at Shen Xinglan, ”You asked me to find Shanshan. I finally got her back, but now you don't want her?”
Shen Xinglan rubbed his eyebrows and sat down. ”Lil Xi, I never said I wouldn't take care of Shanshan, but A Miao is the woman I like. Whether you accept it or not, she is the one in my life I want to marry.”
Seeing the embarrassed Shanshan, Shen Xinglan bent the corners of his mouth. ”A Miao is a very good girl. She will like you.”
”Mmm!” Shanshan nodded vigorously. ”I like the elder sister that Xinglan likes too.”
Lil Xi became even angrier at that sight. ”Well, I am wrong on both sides! I don't care, I'll go!”
He picked up his notebook and rushed out. Le Yi shook his head. ”He's almost 20 years old and still acts like a child. By the way, where's A Miao?”
Shanshan suddenly said, ”I'm going to tidy up the room! You talk.”
”Tell me what you need. I'll take you out to dinner in the evening.” Shen Xinglan watched her go upstairs, then turned to Le Yi and said, ”A Miao is angry.”
”She wants to break up with you?” Le Yi lifted his eyebrows. ”That's alright. You can give her some money and be with Shanshan.”
Shen Xinglan scoffed. ”You don't have to try to provoke me, A Miao is so good. Why would she break up with me because of this kind of thing?”
”That's a pity.” Le Yi laughed. ”For women, your performance yesterday was so bad.”
”I know.” Shen Xinglan was somewhat jittery. ”I was negligent, it won't happen again.” He took a glance at Le Yi. ”I'll call Ouyang.”
With a smile in his eyes, Le Yi said, ”Do you want me to go see A Miao?”
”I thought you said you would go and see Lil Xi.”
”No, it will be thankful that boy does not harm others...”
A Miao was making a cake in a good mood when the doorbell suddenly rang.
”Le Yi? Come in!” She dumped the flour and welcomed him in.
