Chapter 41 He Huaisheng wants to be with An Shixia

After thinking for a while, Shen Tongtong realized she really didn't know: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

An Shixia pressed her shoulder and made her sit on the stool: "Then sit down. Don't be surprised by what I'm about to say."

Shen Tongtong was made nervous by her, and her posture became much more upright.

"I am a member of the An family."

Shen Tongtong nodded: "I know, your surname is An."

Seeing that she didn't understand her explanation, An Shixia changed her approach: "The An family of the Jing clan, the most famous one, the one on par with the Yan family."

Shen Tongtong's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

"install……"

An Shixia looked at her encouragingly: "That's right. I didn't tell you before not to hide it from you, but because I had a conflict with my family at the time."

Shen Tongtong was still in shock and hadn't recovered yet. After processing the news, her expression was complicated.

"An Shixia, are you confused! You're having problems with your family, could it be because of He Huaisheng?"

Shen Tongtong immediately saw the reason, and her tone conveyed a sense of anger at their lack of ambition.

An Shixia nodded silently: "But now that I've admitted my mistake, so..."

Shen Tongtong held her forehead with her hand. Luckily, she was sitting on a stool, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to stand up.

She couldn't understand why a rich heiress would fall for a poor boy and pursue him so relentlessly.

If he remembered correctly, the An family and the Yan family were old friends, so An Shixia and Yan Lingyu definitely knew each other.

With someone as outstanding as Yan Lingyu around, why would anyone look at trash like Xiang Hehuaisheng?

Although He Huaisheng is good-looking and has good grades, he's still a scumbag!

"You! You've kept this from me for so long, don't you have to apologize?"

An Shixia smiled and pulled her up from the chair: "Okay, okay~ I'm sorry! I'll treat you to lunch today."

Shen Tongtong huffed arrogantly, "Then I'll order the most expensive one! I want to go to Fengyu Tower."

"OK!"

He Huaisheng thought An Shixia would get off the elevator, but after taking two steps, he turned his head to look and saw the elevator doors closing.

He was momentarily lost in thought.

Jiang Zhiyao scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and held it to his lips: "Brother Sheng, you can have the first bite."

He Huaisheng stared at the spoon so close to his face, ignoring the slight unease in his heart.

"Yaoyao, this is what I bought for you. You can eat it yourself."

He Huaisheng hadn't tried this brand of ice cream before; they bought the cheapest, regular version.

He actually wanted to try it too, but Yao Yao had cried for so long today, and he wanted Yao Yao to enjoy the food.

Jiang Zhiyao pouted and said coquettishly, "Brother Sheng, I want you to eat with me~"

As she spoke, she brought the spoon even closer to He Huaisheng, until it was almost touching his lips.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyao's expectant gaze, He Huaisheng opened his mouth and sipped the ice cream from the spoon.

The first taste is milky, followed by a rich cherry flavor, making you feel like you're actually eating fruit.

It's sweet but not cloying, refreshing and delightful, with rich layers of flavor; no wonder it's expensive.

"How is it, Brother Sheng? Is it delicious?"

Jiang Zhiyao asked excitedly.

He Huaisheng nodded without hesitation: "It's delicious. You should eat it too, it'll melt in a bit."

Seeing him nod, Jiang Zhiyao happily scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

It was indeed delicious; it turns out that rich people eat something different.

Jiang Zhiyao thought to herself silently.

When she has money in the future, she will definitely eat it every day.

She suddenly remembered something and shoved the ice cream into He Huaisheng's hand: "Brother Sheng, could you hold this for me for a moment? I want to post it on my WeChat Moments."

He Huaisheng smiled indulgently: "Okay."

Jiang Zhiyao took out her phone and snapped a picture of the ice cream, inadvertently capturing He Huaisheng's hand in the shot.

She captioned the post: "Ice cream is a love letter from summer—it's so sweet."

After she finished sending the message, she looked up at He Huaisheng and asked, "Brother Sheng, will we be together forever?"

He Huaisheng gently patted her head: "Silly girl, I definitely will."

After saying this, He Huaisheng couldn't help but think of An Shixia again.

When An Shixia was pursuing him, she said that she would not give up and would definitely win him over.

Thinking about her attitude over the past few days, his eyes dimmed slightly.

He was confused about his own feelings. He clearly hated An Shixia clinging to him, but when she stopped bothering him, he would feel anxious and uneasy. It seemed that he had really fallen for An Shixia.

In addition, An Shixia's family background is likely very good, and being with her will provide assistance.

He was already wavering; if An Shixia confessed her feelings to him again, he would definitely not refuse.

As for Jiang Zhiyao, he also liked her, but Yaoyao couldn't help him at all, so he could only let her stay by his side.

He suddenly mustered his courage and looked at Jiang Zhiyao: "Yaoyao, if I get together with An Shixia, will you be sad?"

Jiang Zhiyao was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected He Huaisheng to ask such a question.

She really liked He Huaisheng, and she felt resentful when she heard these words, but she had to pretend to be sensible in front of He Huaisheng.

Her eyes reddened, she nodded slightly, then shook her head: "Brother Sheng, I will be sad, but... as long as it's what you want, I will support you. I know you must have your own ideas."

After Jiang Zhiyao finished speaking, she lowered her head, her face filled with obvious sadness.

Seeing how well-mannered and knowledgeable Jiang Zhiyao was, He Huaisheng felt even more guilty.

"Yaoyao, don't worry, even if I get together with her, I will not give up on you. You are more important than her."

Jiang Zhiyao's tears, which she had been holding back, finally fell. The ice cream that had been so sweet just moments before now only tasted cold in her mouth.

Seeing her like this, He Huaisheng hugged her tightly with heartache: "Yaoyao, don't cry, it hurts me. And when I said I was with her, it didn't mean I wanted to marry her."

He had already made up his mind. It was already an honor for An Shixia to be able to date him. As for marriage... that was a matter for the future. Maybe he would get tired of it by then.

She likes me so much, she'd definitely be happy to accept it, since she wouldn't lose anything.

Jiang Zhiyao misunderstood He Huaisheng's meaning, thinking that he was implying something to her, and laughed uncontrollably: "Brother Sheng, I will support whatever decision you make, as long as you don't abandon me."

"Don't worry, I will never abandon you. Just stay by my side."

After lunch, it suddenly started raining outside. An Shixia muttered, "Didn't the weather forecast say there wouldn't be any rain?"

Shen Tongtong sighed, "I wonder how long it will rain."

An Shixia looked outside out of boredom, and suddenly saw a familiar car parked outside, which looked a bit like Yan Lingyu's.

She glanced at him again, and suddenly the car door opened. Yan Lingyu got out of the driver's seat, held an umbrella, and walked to her side.

What are you doing here?
