Chapter 128: The Tenderness Beneath Shen Xiujin's Cold

at…Shen Xiujin beside him."Mrs. Shen, my name is Ding Nuan. Little Ou shares your last name, Jian. His father's name is Jian Shiou. I know it's impolite of me to barge in like this, but I was despera...We are all the same! We are all proud, and we are all so high-spirited.

We were the center of attention from a young age, Shen Xiujian! How could someone as proud and aloof as I, accept that my first love was a woman everyone scorned, even a woman I couldn't accept myself

You love Jian Tong, Shen Xiu Jin, don't deny it. What kind of person are you If you haven't fallen for her, you're colder than the Antarctic climate. Why would you come to me in the middle of the night just to give me a good beating

Shen Xiujin, you clearly have feelings for her.

But, Shen Xiujing, can you accept it Do you dare to admit that you love her

"You can't!"

Xiao Heng burst into laughter again, looking at the man not far away: "Shen Xiujian, you can't even do it yourself, why do you ask me to do it!"

I am the Young Master of the Xiao Family!

With a snap of my fingers, I can have any woman I want!

I don't love her, I absolutely refuse to admit that I have feelings for her!

"Hahahahahahaha…"

The laughter was wild, yet heart-wrenching. Xiao Heng's eyes became even more moist. He shouted repeatedly: "It's impossible to fall in love with that woman!"

Shen Xiujin's throat tightened, "Xiao Heng, from now on, don't get close to her! Make her smile. If this is how you love her…"

Then, I Shen Xiuqin will express those things I can't put into words in my own way!

Yes, they were all proud, the cream of the crop... Xiao Heng had predicted all this, yet he hadn't guessed the ending.

"Hahaha…" Xiao Heng seemed to have heard a joke: "Shen Xiujin, I'll be waiting! I'll be waiting to see how you… with your way… that kind of woman! Send it to you! I don't want it!"

Shen Xiujin turned and left: "I hope you keep your word and stay away from her."

Xiao Heng ignored the shards of glass on the ground, raising his hand to press against his chest, pressing down again and again. Only in this way could he seem to suppress the hollowness there.

The two voices in my head started arguing again.

A voice said: Don't miss it.

Another voice said: You did the right thing.

At first, that voice roared: You will regret it, you will surely regret it, Xiao Heng!

"No! I will never regret it!" Xiao Heng's fist slammed into the ground, picking up shards of glass that cut into his skin, but he didn't feel the pain. All he felt was a searing agony in his chest.

At this moment, he never expected that compared to the pain of now, the endless regret in the future would be the most tormenting.

Many years later, Xiao Heng said to Shen Xiujin:

We are all the same, we all have our flaws. So I deserve it, and you do too. I endured the pressure from my family for her, but in the end, I lost to my ridiculous pride and hollow self-esteem. I didn't lose to you, I lost to myself. When I did all this, I thought I was sacrificing for her, but in the end, it only moved me. In reality, we are all just vain.

Then, because of vanity, he lost the most important person in his life.

……

As night fell and silence blanketed the city, he sped down the highway in his car, still grappling with unanswered questions before reaching the amusement park. There, at a secluded corner near the main gate, upon seeing that woman, everything suddenly clicked into place.

She was gone, how anxious and nervous he was inside, he didn't say it, but he himself knew very well.

So, he kept searching road by road, making phone calls one by one to inquire about her whereabouts. At that time, he was too anxious to think why the disappearance of an insignificant woman would cause him such distress.

She's gone, what does it have to do with him... Always so aloof, why bother caring.

Later, in the corner of the amusement park's gate, he saw that woman… she was indeed here. And at that moment, when he saw her figure here, all the anxiety and tension within him were soothed.

He came to her face, and looked at her for a full minute. In that minute, only he knew what he was thinking about.

The car slowly stopped under the building of Dong Huang. The man in the car didn't get out first, but instead took out a cigarette case and a lighter. The flame of the lighter flickered in the night, and the red tip of the cigarette glowed with a crimson light. He took a deep drag, then extinguished the cigarette butt and got out of the car.

As he stepped into the elevator, the moment the doors opened, the two bodyguards on the 28th floor were about to greet him: "Bo..."

The man's long index finger rose to his lips, a glance passed, and the two bodyguards nodded silently, withdrawing from the room.

He pushed open the door, his gaze sweeping over the bed, and asked faintly, "Why aren't you asleep"

The woman in bed, leaning against the headboard, curled up with her knees hugged to her chest, suddenly heard a noise. She slowly twisted her neck, shifting her gaze from the window to the man at the door: "Not sleepy."

His cold gaze swept over her attire: "What did I say before I left First, wash yourself and go to sleep. Second, I'll help you wash and sleep with you." His eyes lingered on her clothes before returning to her face: "No bath, no bed."

The woman in bed, the next moment, right before him, pulled back the covers and slowly sat up on the edge of the bed, about to get out.

The man at the door, with his narrow phoenix eyes, narrowed them suddenly. He stood motionless at the door, but his gaze never left the woman's body. He watched quietly as she got out of bed and walked towards the door... A hint of a smile flickered in his heart. This woman was truly strong.

The woman walked toward the door, clearly about to leave.

As she passed by him, the man who had been standing motionless suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of her collar. Despite wearing a lot of clothes, she was very thin and light, easily lifted by the man by her collar and dragged into the restroom.

"President Shen, what are you doing" she said angrily. She had already said tonight that she didn't want to act or face him, and even less did she want to go around him.

The man didn't say a word, and began to take her clothes off.

Suddenly, Jian Tong became tense and her face drained of color. "Get away! Don't touch me!"

"You pushed me just now! Jian Tong stepped back nervously, her eyes fixed on the man before her. Sweat had already formed in her palms, "Mr. Shen, wasn't it you who said I was dirty Wasn't it you who found me repulsive Then what do you mean by this"

The man, upon hearing this, raised an eyebrow lightly and glanced at her with a lazy expression, saying:

“First, you wash yourself and go to sleep. Second, I'll help you wash and sleep with you. Since you don't want to follow the first rule, it seems like you want the second one. You don't want to wash up and make me wait this late before going to sleep. Can I understand this behavior as a sign of affection from you—that you want me to bathe and sleep with you Just tell me directly if that's the case, and I'll fulfill your wish.”

"...For a moment, Jian Tong was lost in thought. When she reacted, her ears were flushed red. She suddenly looked up and shouted in an unusually loud voice, “I'll wash it myself!” The four words seemed to burst from between her teeth! "ionless. Time seemed to stand still.Su Meng did not press her advantage, but simply stared intently at Jian Tong across from her with burning eyes.For a long time"Nothing."Jian Tong remained unmoved,...
