Chapter 651 Let's all calm down for a while.

Fu Nian'an hung up the phone.

It seems the two haven't reached an agreement, and the conflict has escalated.

Fu Nian'an hung up the phone and sighed, "Shen Anning, are you going to come out by yourself, or should I call Mom now?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Anning immediately stopped crying.

Fu Nian'an was waiting for her.

After a while, Shen Anning lifted a corner of the blanket, revealing a pair of wet, red eyes.

Fu Nian'an frowned.

"Don't tell Mom and Dad..." Shen Anning's voice was very soft, and a little hoarse because she had been crying.

Fu Nian'an sighed softly, feeling both heartache and helplessness.

"What exactly happened?"

Shen Anning dared not speak.

If his family knew that Qi Yue had done such a thing, they would be very disappointed.

For Shen Anning, even if she and Qi Yue were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend in the future, they would still be childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Even if it's just for the sake of their friendship over the past ten years, she will do her best to protect Qi Yue.

Moreover, Qi Yue is not a bad person; he just didn't handle this matter well.

Moreover, Aunt Qi's health has not been very good in recent years, and Uncle Han has devoted himself entirely to her.

Shen Anning didn't want Aunt Qi to worry.

“Qi Yue and I…” Shen Anning muttered, “we just had a disagreement and a little argument.”

Fu Nian'an didn't believe it.

Although Shen Anning was well protected by her family since childhood, she has an optimistic attitude and a straightforward personality, so she wouldn't cry uncontrollably just because she had a quarrel with Qi Yue.

Are you sure it was just a little bickering?

"Yes." Shen Anning actually realized that her behavior was a bit childish after calming down.

How can you be so irrational when you're in a relationship?

Fu Nian'an asked, "So what's the situation between you and Qi Yue now?"

“We have some differing views. I don’t agree with him, and he won’t compromise,” Shen Anning replied, half-jokingly. “I think we should both calm down.”

"Isn't this just the Cold War?"

“It’s not a cold war.” Shen Anning raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

After crying, my feverish and swollen mind became much clearer.

She sniffed and looked at Fu Nian'an, "Brother, I'm fine. I'm 20 years old now, I can handle it myself."

Fu Nian'an couldn't help but laugh, "You told me the same thing yesterday, but you came back crying today."

Shen Anning: "..."

“Shen Anning, I don’t mean to interfere in your personal relationships, but I think you’re still young. If being in a relationship doesn’t bring you a more enjoyable and relaxed experience, then I think you can focus on your studies for the time being.”

Shen Anning stared blankly at Fu Nian'an.

After a moment, she frowned slightly. "Brother, did you guess from the beginning that things would turn out this way if I got together with Qi Yue?"

What will happen?

Shen Anning was taken aback.

Suddenly, she realized, "Fu Nian'an, you're trying to trick me!"

"I just want to hear the truth from you." Fu Nian'an smiled. "If you're not even willing to tell me, then I think this matter is a bit serious."

Shen Anning pursed her lips.

In fact, it has only been four months since she and Qi Yue confirmed their relationship.

Having been childhood sweethearts for over a decade, they cherished and understood each other deeply. She believed that this foundation was enough to support their four-year long-distance relationship during college.

At first, it was sweet, but gradually, Qi Yue seemed to become dissatisfied with her being busy with her studies every day.

Almost every video call was initiated by Qi Yue, who would always complain a bit, and Shen Anning would explain and shower him with sweet words.

Actually, Shen Anning didn't not miss him or not want to contact him, but part of it was because she was busy with her studies, and another part was because she had tacitly accepted that Qi Yue was the one who took the initiative in their relationship.

Looking back now, Qi Yue probably never really felt secure, right?

His possessiveness towards her actually stemmed from his lack of feeling needed, which caused him anxiety and unease about their relationship, leading to such a strong possessiveness.

Fu Nian'an gently tapped Chen Anning's forehead. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Shen Anning snapped out of her daze, looked at him, and said, "Brother, Qi Yue seems to always lack a sense of security."

"You finally figured it out?"

"You figured it out a long time ago?" Shen Anning asked in surprise. "When did you figure it out?"

"Do you remember what I said to you when I first found out you two were together?"

Shen Anning paused, recalling the day her college entrance exam results came out. She and Qi Yue went on a date and spent the night together. When they returned, Fu Nian'an did talk to her a lot.

Looking back now, Shen Anning was surprised to find that Fu Nian'an was right all along.

"Qi Yue witnessed Aunt Qi and Uncle Han's on-again, off-again relationship over the years. He acted sensible, but that doesn't mean he wasn't affected. Also, Uncle Han and Aunt Qi were quite emotional in their handling of their relationship, which is related to their personalities. And personality traits are, to some extent, hereditary."

Shen Anning blinked. "But our parents were divorced too..."

“We were young then. By the time we started to understand things, our parents’ relationship was already very stable. Moreover, our dad was much more rational than Uncle Han. Uncle Han had a very stubborn temper. I heard that when he was young, Uncle Han made Aunt Qi shed many tears.”

Shen Anning, "..."

She pursed her lips and asked him, "Do you think Qi Yue will inherit Uncle Han's traits and always make me sad and cry?"

"It's not just a feeling," Fu Nian'an said firmly, "the fact is, you've only been dating him for a short time and you're already acting like this?"

Shen Anning: "..."

“You inherited your mother’s soft heart.” Fu Nian’an ruffled her hair. “Although it’s not a flaw, it can easily put you in a passive position in relationships.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Anning lowered her eyes, her heart filled with confusion.

“I know you’re feeling very confused right now. If you don’t know how to face Qi Yue yet, why don’t you go to Xingcheng to see your parents? You haven’t visited your godparents in a long time, so just go and keep them company.”

Shen Anning thought this was a good idea. She nodded and said, "Then you can book my plane ticket."

“Okay.” Fu Nian’an took out a tissue. “Wash your face and come downstairs for breakfast.”

Shen Anning nodded obediently.

...

Fu Nian'an had breakfast with Shen Anning, then grabbed his coat. "I'm going to the company; I have some things to take care of. Can you stay home by yourself?"

"Don't worry, go ahead and do your thing!" Shen Anning waved her hand at him. "I'll go to the gym and catch up on some sleep later."

Fu Nian'an paused as she unfolded her suit jacket. "Working day and night is not a good habit."

"You sound so old-fashioned!" Shen Anning complained. "Fu Nian'an, you're the same age as me, but do you know what? Ever since you started your business, you've been talking like an old man, so old-fashioned and sullen. If you keep going like this, you'll never find a wife!"

"You should worry about yourself first." Fu Nian'an glanced at her, put on her coat, and turned to leave.

She said she was going to the company, but Fu Nian'an went directly to Qin's Hospital.

...

VIP inpatient ward.

Fu Nian'an raised her hand and knocked on the door, which Luo Dongjin opened.

"Young Master Fu, you've arrived."

Fu Nian'an nodded slightly, stepped in, and glanced at Qi Yue sitting on the hospital bed.

Qi Yue's face was pale, his handsome features were lifeless, and he looked quite disheveled.

"I heard you fainted again this morning?" Fu Nian'an walked to the bedside, looking down at him with her eyes lowered. "Qi Yue, you're only 23 years old, how come you're so weak?"

Qi Yue lowered her eyes, unmoved by his sarcastic remarks.

Fu Nian'an was too lazy to pity him.

He said coldly, "Anning came home crying this morning."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue suddenly raised his head.

Fu Nian'an stared at him, her face cold and stern. "Qi Yue, I've said it before, if you hurt or upset her, I, as her older brother, will definitely not be lenient with you!"

Qi Yue frowned. "There's a misunderstanding between us."

“An Ning isn’t the type to make a fuss unnecessarily.” Fu Nian’an looked at him and bluntly exposed him. “You must have done something outrageous, otherwise she wouldn’t have lost control of her emotions like that. But she still cares about you. Even though she was so heartbroken, she still thought about protecting you. Qi Yue, you’re a man. You made your girlfriend cry for you and bear the pressure for you. Tell me, aren’t you ashamed?”

Qi Yue was speechless.

Did Shen Anning not tell Fu Nian'an the truth because she was worried that Fu Nian'an and the elders of both families would be disappointed in him if they found out?

But that was an accident; he never expected a plane crash to happen.

Heaven truly gave him a fatal punishment.

With You Jingqiao dead, he became the biggest villain.

But that You Jingqiao is so scheming, if we don't get rid of her, she will be a potential danger to Shen Anning!

Even today, Qi Yue still doesn't think he did anything wrong.
