Chapter 25 I don't need a single person to die for me.
Xu Chuyin's gaze shifted from Sheng Tingwang.
It slowly landed on Wen Shuyi's face.
His brows furrowed, and he raised his hand, delivering a resounding slap to her face. "Wen Shuyi, how shameless of you! Are all the men in the world dead? You insist on stealing mine, don't you?"
That slap was very forceful.
Five finger marks were imprinted on her fair skin, and half of her face was so numb that she almost lost all feeling.
Sheng Tingwang never expected Xu Chuyin to hit someone.
Without even grabbing his cane, he quickly walked to Wen Shuyi's side.
He bent down and examined her injuries with concern. "Let me see."
Xu Chuyin was furious.
She tugged at Sheng Tingwang, "Who's your wife, her or mine? Sheng Tingwang, don't go too far."
"You hit someone, and you still think you're right?" His voice was like ice daggers.
Xu Chuyin's eyes instantly reddened. "You yelled at me? Sheng Tingwang, you yelled at me for this woman? How can you face my deceased father? Is this how he entrusted you to take care of me?"
Xu Chuyin was excited.
He started coughing.
Wen Shuyi's face stung, and she was annoyed. She pushed Sheng Tingwang away and chased the two of them out of the room, saying, "Get out of here..."
Wen Shu also cried.
It wasn't entirely because my face hurt.
……
In another compartment.
Xu Chuyin kept crying.
She knew that hitting Wen Shuyi would directly cause Sheng Tingwang to lose patience with her.
But she really couldn't help herself.
"I'm sorry, I'll be calmer next time, okay?" Xu Chuyin's face was streaked with tears as she timidly tugged at Sheng Tingwang's sleeve. "It's not entirely my fault. This room is empty, and you insisted on staying with her. It's normal for me to be angry."
Sheng Ting raised his eyes in a daze.
His cool and elegant face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
The fire in his eyes was almost bursting forth.
Xu Chuyin was startled.
She had never seen such a strong sense of killing intent except when he personally killed his enemies.
She only felt a chill down her back.
She nervously took a step back, saying, "I've already apologized, so please, don't be angry anymore."
"Let me tell you, Xu Chuyin, we're not husband and wife. That wedding was just an act. Don't take it seriously, understand?"
His words were like a sharp knife.
With a steady, precise, and ruthless thrust, it pierced her chest.
She had been by his side since she was sixteen, through thick and thin, and many times she thought she was going to die with him.
He once said that she was his light.
And now, her light is about to go out.
"If it weren't for acting, you never even considered marrying me, right?" Xu Chuyin was heartbroken and couldn't accept this reality. "When did you stop loving me?"
My feelings for you are not love.
He once said that she was his light.
This ray of light is like family, like friends, and even more like a warm embrace.
It's not love.
"So, you love Wen Shuyi?"
Xu Chuyin gave a wry smile.
A bitter pain shot through his chest. "In what way does she surpass me? Sheng Tingwang, I'm the one who's been there for you as you grew up. I understand you. Does she understand you? I'd die for you. Could she?"
"I don't need anyone to die for me."
He was annoyed by this kind of emotional blackmail.
He compromised once for the sake of Xu's father.
Looking back now, this compromise was meaningless. No, it hurt someone—the woman who was eagerly waiting to marry him.
Sheng Ting couldn't possibly have any of those ideas.
I always see Wen Shuyi's cold and disappointed face.
"Are you saying that because my father is dead, you can abandon me without any hesitation, and abandon all the promises you made to him?"
Xu Chuyin felt a metallic taste in her throat.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Sheng Ting frowned. Under these circumstances, there was really no need to continue arguing.
"You should rest well first. After we get off the ship, we'll go to the hospital for a check-up."
Sheng Ting arbitrarily walked out.
Xu Chuyin hugged him from behind, "Don't go, Tingwang, stay with me, okay?"
The refusal that was on the tip of my tongue.
He couldn't bring himself to say it. He turned around, helped the frail woman up, and said, "You go to bed and rest. I won't leave."
……
The sounds of waves and the ferry engine mingled together.
Wen Shuyi dragged her luggage off the ship, met up with Zhang Erfei, and walked into the company together.
She didn't look well.
Zhang Erfei gave her a mint. "Shuyi, are you seasick? Why don't you skip the company today? I'll ask CICI for a day off. It's okay."
"No, I need to explain this business matter to Sister CICI in person."
"Alright then."
After returning to Tianjing, Wen Shuyi dealt with work-related matters.
The supervisor is very easy to talk to.
I assigned her a new order.
She was absent-minded all day.
Finally, it was time to get off work.
She called Li Suian and asked her to go out for dinner.
The guests arrived, but the dishes hadn't all been served yet.
Wen Shuyi had already downed two glasses of wine.
"What's wrong? You're upset because you didn't win over the contractor? You've practically become an alcoholic in the last three years. Alright, stop drinking and get down to business."
Li Suian is Wen Shuyi's best friend.
My maternal grandfather was a very prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
When her mother was young, she fell in love with a military doctor.
She married against her parents' wishes.
Although they can't be described as extremely wealthy.
But they are still very much in love.
Li Suian is an only child. Since birth, just like her name suggests, she has been surrounded by happiness from childhood to adulthood.
Wen Shuyi and she are like opposite sides of the same coin in life.
and so……
There are some things that even if she explains them, Li Suian may not fully understand.
"Sui An, you wouldn't understand."
"You're saying I'll understand? If you keep it to yourself, how would I know if you can't read minds?" Li Suian, resting her chin on her hand, decided to guess. "Was it because you ran into someone you didn't want to see on this business trip? Was it Sheng Li?"
Wen Shu also smiled bitterly.
Li Suian was indeed quite adept at guessing what was on her mind.
But what saddened her wasn't Sheng Li. "He's all in the past. But you guessed it, he's the one being offered the contract this time. Who knows why he suddenly wants to order a diamond ring and propose to me... He's crazy."
Li Suian smiled.
The rumors about Sheng Li and Shen Xinwan spread from the internet to the Sheng family, and were then confirmed.
During that period, the Sheng family became the laughing stock in the entertainment circle.
She had heard many fabricated stories about their intimate moments. "So what are your thoughts? Will you accept it or refuse it? You're so upset right now, it's not because of this jerk, is it? You want to go back to him? Wen Shuyi, if you want to go back to him, I'll really look down on you."
Wen Shu also waved his hand.
He picked up his glass, took another sip, and said, "It's not that bad. I'm in a bad mood because... I saw Sheng Tingwang."
"he?"
Sheng Tingwang is no ordinary figure in the entertainment industry.
The slightest disturbance will spread like wildfire.
"Shuyi, I heard he got married. You... still have feelings for him?" Li Suian held Wen Shuyi's cold little hand tenderly. "Haven't you let go of him yet?"
Wen Shuyi didn't know how to describe her feelings for Sheng Tingwang. "Sui An, when I was wheeled out of the operating room, my whole body was ice cold. I struggled to send him a message, begging him to come back to China, but there was no response. At that moment, I had already let go."
"But you're still sad, aren't you?"
