On the way home, Wen Shu walked empty-handed, while Ma Biao had a bag of steamed buns hooked on his index finger. He kept staring at the bag of steamed buns as he walked, looking at it again and again.

Although the steamed buns had cooled down, they were still soft, and you could occasionally smell their aroma through the gaps in the bag.

Seeing that he had looked at it several times, Wen Shu said, "Master Ma, if you are hungry, you can eat something first to tide you over."

Ma Biao shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, I just find it strange."

Wen Shu couldn't help but chuckle. "Master Ma, it seems that your life since childhood has been from two completely different worlds from mine, to the point that I don't understand your world, and you don't understand mine either."

“These things are the most ordinary things to me, but they have become strange things in your eyes.”

Ma Biao said, "When I'm at home, no one asks me to buy these things. Besides, there are always people at home who cook much tastier food, so why would I need to buy more?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shu knew that she and Ma Biao were completely incompatible.

Ma Biao asked her, "Were you serious about what you said to my sister last time?"

Wen Shu asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

Ma Biao glanced at her and said, "Don't try to fool me. My sister already told me."

Wen Shu fell silent instantly, unsure how to respond.

Ma Biao continued, "You asked my sister to find you those unfamiliar, older women, or women with problems in that area. Didn't you ever consider me?"

Wen Shu looked at him in surprise, "Master Ma, please don't joke with me like that, I'm easily frightened."

Ma Biao suddenly got angry. He originally had an honest and kind face, but he looked particularly scary every time he jumped down.

Ma Biao said with a stern face, "Who's joking with you?"

He stopped and stared at Wen Shu, asking, "Tell me, in what way do I not meet your requirements? Do you think I can't compete with the Li family?"

Ma Biao sneered, "You underestimate me. If you just want to stop the Li family from taking the child, I have a hundred ways to make your wish come true."

Wen Shu pursed her lips. "Master Ma, you should know that it's impossible for us to be together."

“Explain your reasons. Why is it impossible?” Ma Biao asked.

Wen Shu sighed inwardly. She hated Li Duo, she hated Lin Han, and she also hated Ma Biao.

What was the difference between what the three of them did to her?

She suffered harm from each of them without discrimination, regardless of the magnitude of the harm she received.

These people don't treat ordinary people as human beings at all; they just do things that hurt others according to their own desires.

Wen Shu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "Master Ma, do you remember what I just said? I said that we are from completely different worlds. I don't understand you, and you don't understand me."

"Perhaps for you, there is no such thing as social class. But for me, the boundaries are clear and there are clear rules governing social status."

"Actually, being friends with you is an honor for me. And I am also very grateful to you and Miss Ma for helping me get revenge on Li Duo, which really vented my anger."

"However, my purpose in seeking out Miss Ma is not for so-called marriage or happiness, but simply to protect my child. In other words, this is a transaction, devoid of any emotion."

"When I talked to Mr. Ma about feelings, I meant friendship. I can guarantee that our friendship is genuine and comes from the bottom of my heart."

Ma Biao frowned and looked at Wen Shu, asking, "You mean that our friendship is real, but our romantic relationship is fake?"

Wen Shu smiled and said, "I really don't want to hurt my friends, especially since Mr. Ma and Miss Ma have sincerely helped me. I can't possibly hurt you."

Ma Biao felt a bit frustrated. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment. He felt annoyed, resentful, and also hated himself for being so useless.

He was trying hard to sort out his true thoughts. Why did he come to find Wen Shu? And why did he say these things to her?

If he were to confess his feelings now, Wen Shu would have clearly rejected him. But the fact that he didn't formally confess meant that Wen Shu had already explicitly rejected him.

Ma Biao was still unconvinced. Was Wen Shu holding a grudge?

Ma Biao asked, "Are you holding a grudge against me? Are you holding onto those old grudges?"

Before Wen Shu could speak, Ma Biao continued, "If you want revenge, I'll give you a chance. How about you get your revenge?"

Wen Shu's eyes widened as she stared at him and said, "Master Ma, do you know what you're saying?"

Ma Biao said, "Of course I know!"

His anger level was rising, and he didn't even know why he was so angry.

In a flash, Ma Biao blurted out, "I was just confessing my feelings to you, and you just rejected me like that? I'm furious!"

Wen Shu looked terrified; she was even more shocked than before.

If Ma Biao's previous question stemmed from resentment at his lack of recognition for his masculine charm, then his current approach is more direct.

Wen Shu moved her lips, unable to tell whether Ma Biao was telling the truth or lying, whether he was teasing her or speaking from the heart.

She reached out and snatched the steamed bun from Ma Biao's hand, then turned and left without saying a word.

Ma Biao froze for a moment, then hurriedly chased after her, "Wen Shu! What are you doing? Why are you angry with me? I was confessing my feelings to you, and you're angry with me? What did I say wrong?"

Ma Biao knew that women could be dramatic sometimes, but he believed he hadn't said anything wrong, so why should she turn around and leave?

Wen Shu was grabbed by Ma Biao. She looked up angrily and said, "Master Ma, do you really get a lot of satisfaction from toying with people like me like this?"
