Wang Wen was stunned by Sang Yu’s big reaction. “I… I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I’m just worried that you’d be unhappy with him…”
“Do you think that money is the only thing that will make me happy?” she rebutted.
Feeling wronged, Wang Wen explained, “It was Mr. Shen who commented that I can’t give you a good life because I have no permanent job; hence, I asked him the same question.”
He tried to be polite and explained himself. Shen Peichuan stole my chance. If he didn’t show up, I would have been with Sang Yu now.
Sang Yu took a glance at Shen Peichuan. Did you say that?
Shen Peichuan coughed and owned up his action. “Yes, that’s right, I said that.”
Unexpectedly, Sang Yu went ahead and held his arm. “Whatever you say or do is always right.”
Wang Wen was rendered speechless. His eyes widened. What gives?
“Sang Yu, you’re being unfair to me. Why is that right when he says it but not me?”
“He’s my boyfriend, and I like everything about him regardless of if it’s right or wrong. Do you have a problem with that?” Sang Yu was determined to protect her man at all cost, albeit knowing that she was biased.
Just because he’s my man. I just like him so much, and I want to cherish everything about this man.
“You’re a changed person now. You were never this unreasonable, Sang Yu.” Wang Wen realized that he did not understand her anymore.
She’s usually gentle and compassionate. How did she change into a different person overnight? Is this the so-called power of love?
“No matter how much you like him, you shouldn’t lose your personality and stance. He’ll look down on you sooner or later, despise you, and then leave you.” Wang Wen was extremely worried about Sang Yu getting hurt in the relationship. If she stoops so low to please him, he will disdain her one day.
Sang Yu interlocked fingers with Shen Peichuan. I know he’s not that kind of an irresponsible person. I believe in what I see in him, and I also believe in his characteristics.
“I won’t put in any effort if I don’t like him. However, when I fall in love, I’ll make sure to give it my all. Even if I got hurt and was wrong about him, I’ll just accept it as it’s my own decision to make.” Sang Yu looked at Shen Peichuan while responding to Wang Wen.
Wang Wen could not comprehend her logic. Why can’t she take precautions, and take it slow instead of plunging all her heart into it?
“Silly girl. Now I finally get why they say that love is blind.” He turned his head and left but stopped after taking a few steps. “Treat her well; otherwise, I’ll come after you. I don’t care what position you hold. I’ll beat the living daylights out of you!” Wang Wen warned Shen Peichuan sternly before striding off.
Shen Peichuan yelled, “I won’t give you any chance to lay a finger on me.”
Wang Wen paused but did not look back nor say a word. After a while, his lonely figure disappeared into the woods.
Heaving a long sigh, Sang Yu muttered, “I wonder if I’ll ever regret my decision today to turn down a guy who cares for me.”
Shen Peichuan frowned at her. “Will you?”
She pretended. “A little bit.”
Feeling uneasy, he set his mouth in a hard line. Does she not trust me?
Sang Yu peeped at him and realized that he took it literally.
She sighed again. “You can’t even tell if I was joking. I regret loving you so much.” After that, she let go of his arm and headed back into the house.
He caught up with her, gripped her wrist, and pulled her into his arms. “How could you break your promise and regret what you just declared moments ago?”
His hug was so tight that her feet were swept off the ground, and it almost suffocated her. Tilting her head up, she intentionally moved her lips close to his chin. “Yes, I regret my choice. So, what are you going to do about it?”
