Chapter 78 A Not-too-Big Double Bed
"Marriage? Second child?"
He does want to get married.
Do you still want to have a child?
Wen Shuyi blinked. "Sheng Tingwang, although you have canceled your engagement with the Xia family, I currently have no intention of getting married, let alone having another child... No, I mean, I may not be able to have any more children in this lifetime. Why don't you go find someone else and stop trying to get involved with me?"
"If you can't have children, then don't. Let's get married, okay? We'll have a wedding you'd like."
He gazed expectantly into her eyes.
She felt like she'd heard a joke and pushed Sheng Tingwang away, saying, "I never thought about marrying you or having a wedding."
The man's eyes darkened.
Ultimately, she still hadn't forgiven him, and she still didn't want to accept it.
Why?
"No reason why?" She felt that she and Sheng Tingwang might... no longer have that primal impulse. "Sheng Tingwang, the six years we wasted were actually a great time to get married. But that's life. I don't want to get married now. Marriage is actually... meaningless."
These words.
For Sheng Tingwang, it was just an excuse.
After all.
He doesn't deserve it.
"What if...it were Li Jiangyan? If Li Jiangyan wanted to marry you, would you agree?"
He has never bothered to compare himself with others.
He has always been someone others look up to.
But this time...
Sheng Tingwang lost his confidence.
As Wen Shuyi said, they missed the point in time when they were most likely to become husband and wife.
He grabbed her shoulders, unwilling to give up, and asked, "No way, you won't marry him, will you?"
"Does it make sense for you to ask this?" She didn't want to answer.
I want to know the answer.
Wen Shuyi sighed helplessly, "I have no answer for you."
"So, you're still leaving him a chance, while I don't have that chance, right?"
His eyes were filled with sorrow.
He stared into her eyes as if he had been abandoned.
Wen Shuyi felt as if something had stabbed her in the chest.
She avoided his gaze. "What are you comparing yourself to him for? You two are completely different kinds of people."
"I'm not even qualified to compare myself to him?"
He released his grip on her shoulders.
The lonely figure turning away made Wen Shuyi feel a pang of regret.
Did she hurt him?
"Sheng Tingwang." She called out to him, wanting to explain something, "I...I, we..."
The man turned around.
His eyes, as dark as ink and as deep as abyss, gazed at her with a broken look.
She bit her lip.
The next second, her head was pressed down, and his lips kissed her.
If the brain is playing a deceptive game.
So the body honestly betrays the brain.
Love affairs are full of ups and downs.
She gripped his shoulders tightly, enduring...
……
A double bed that isn't too big.
Their bodies were tightly embracing.
"Shuyi, I won't force you to marry me willingly right now. I'll wait for you, until the day you say yes, okay?"
He was incredibly gentle.
Wen Shuyi rolled over in his arms, looked up at him, and said, "Sheng Tingwang, do you really love me that much? We've been apart for six years, we haven't had any time to spend together at all. You're just resentful, and it's only your possessiveness that's driving you, isn't it?"
It's possessiveness, resentment, and of course, love.
Love is a fleeting thing.
Feelings that develop over time are called "love growing over time".
Obviously, he is not.
"Wen Shuyi, you're overthinking things. Are all women like this? When they're uncertain about a relationship, they'd rather give up than take a gamble?"
Wen Shuyi was also seen through.
She really is that kind of person.
She's not young anymore.
Where would I get the capital to gamble?
"If I marry you, you'll have to give me half of your wealth. Are you willing to do that?"
"I don't want to," he said.
Wen Shuyi: ...
She got angry and tried to push him away, but he held her tightly. "I'm not willing to give you half of my fortune, I'm willing to give you everything, okay?"
"Nonsense."
"Honestly," he smiled.
Wen Shu also did not believe what was said later.
But I believed what I had said earlier.
It was no easy feat for Sheng Tingwang to achieve his current status.
For a woman?
If it were her, she wouldn't want to either.
Money only shows its greatest value when it is exchanged, and she, a penniless woman, had nothing to exchange with Sheng Tingwang.
If a man can't give you his heart or his money.
Marriage becomes meaningless.
They even put shackles on each other.
Thinking about all this, Wen Shuyi felt quite pathetic.
I don't know when it happened, but she lost that longing for love and that reckless passion.
Let's just treat this as a relationship that's all about sex and no feelings.
At least, when we part ways, we won't be heartbroken.
None of Tang Fengyu's relatives ever came again.
It's much quieter now.
Tang Fengyu takes care of Sheng Tingwang's diet and daily life, but Sheng Tingwang's attitude towards her doesn't seem to have changed much.
It remains neither too close nor too far.
It's neither hot nor cold.
That evening, after dinner, Tang Fengyu found Sheng Tingwang and told him something.
"I want your sister to come over... She's having a really tough time over there, and nobody's taking care of her. She's a girl, after all, and I'm really worried about her."
The daughter that Tang Fengyu mentioned.
It was born to her and the man who eloped.
He Shengting was a half-brother, sharing the same mother but different fathers.
The man gave her a cold glance. "Is this a shelter? If you want to take care of her, move out and take care of her elsewhere."
"Aji, you're our only family left. If you don't..." Tang Fengyu wiped away her tears and turned to Wen Shuyi for help, "...Shuyi, please say something for your aunt. Aji listens to you the most, okay?"
Wen Shuyi was also embarrassed.
When did Sheng Tingwang ever listen to her?
She didn't want to get involved in their family affairs.
"Auntie, I'm a tenant in this house just like you. I can't advise people. You'd better figure out a solution yourself."
Wen Shuyi went back to her room.
Tang Fengyu was at a loss for what to do, and looked at her son with a bitter expression, "Aji, please do this for your mother's sake, she is still your own sister."
Sheng Tingwang remained silent.
He turned around and went back to his room, then came out with a small notebook.
The photo was taken in front of Tang Fengyu.
One-child certificate.
Tang Fengyu's face turned white, then black, then red, then green. "I know I'm sorry to you and your father, but besides your father, your sister and I are also your family. Aji, you can take out your hatred on me, but your sister is innocent."
Tang Fengyu cried.
Sheng Tingwang was greatly annoyed by the crying.
He had known all along that he had a half-sister.
The girl was ten years younger than him.
Because she was a girl, she was not valued in that family and was forced to drop out of high school to work before finishing.
In recent years, as people grow older, they also become more cunning.
I don't go back to that house very often anymore.
I truly experienced hardship.
But compared to him, at least she had her mother's love from childhood to adulthood, while he had nothing.
Even though Tang Fengyu is now living under someone else's roof, she still wants her daughter to come over and enjoy a better life with her.
This attention and concern was a kind of kinship and maternal love that he had never experienced before.
Sheng Tingwang drank alcohol.
A person sits on the rooftop terrace, gazing up at the starry sky.
He has countless worries on his mind.
There are also countless troubles.
But he had no one to confide in.
Reality forced him to become a strong person; no one allowed him to be vulnerable.
liqueur.
At this time, she became his best friend.
My phone vibrated.
It was Gu Lin's call.
"What's up?"
"Want a drink? Come keep me company," the voice on the other end said.
Sheng Tingwang glanced at the wine glass between his fingers and smiled. "Send me the address."
There is still a tacit understanding between good friends.
At least when it comes to being in a bad mood, sometimes we're quite in sync.
