(Note: The first two chapters have been fine-tuned)
Ning Cheng'an raised the corner of his mouth in great satisfaction, but Shen Jingwen was not at ease. He looked at Ning Wan, who had just come of age, and clenched his fingers again.
He couldn't see what Ning Wan was thinking. Was she sure that he would stop?
"Really?" Shen Jingwen's pupils trembled slightly, and the tips of his ears turned red. He knew it was impossible but still asked as if he had lost his mind.
Ning Wan still didn't hesitate, but just lowered her head slightly, looking at her feet, and said softly: "If you don't leave, I will not abandon you."
Shen Jingwen listened to these words that seemed to be the most intimate love words in the world, but he could not see Ning Wan's purpose at all.
[The suicidal mission of refusing the male protagonist to break off the engagement has been completed, and the reward is:
Points: +700 (accumulated)
Skills acquired: None. 】
Ning Chengan didn't want to say more to Shen Jingwen. Seeing that the two were silent for a while, he coughed lightly and said, "Jingwen, don't mention the cancellation of the engagement again."
"Your future tuition will still be covered by the Ning Mansion. If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper."
Perhaps seeing that Shen Jingwen was really capable, Ning Chengan did not put forward the same conditions as last time, but just thought silently:
It's only two or three years, it's not that we can't wait. The fortune teller said before that Shen Jingwen's fate is extremely special.
If he could treat her properly, he would definitely have a share of the wealth in the future.
Shen Jingwen came back to his senses after hearing this. He wanted to speak again, but Ning Chengan waved his hand.
"Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't play around with you young people anymore."
"If you feel bored, you can go for a walk around the streets. Jingwen, you've finished your exams anyway, so just relax."
Hearing this, Shen Jingwen glanced at Ning Cheng'an again, and then retreated with Ning Wan.
*
After stepping out of the study, Shen Jingwen and Ning Wan walked through a corridor in perfect tacit understanding, and then stopped for a moment at the intersection leading to the inner house and the hall.
Ning Wan was about to go ahead, but before she could turn around, Shen Jingwen called her.
"I want to talk to you."
Shen Jingwen still couldn't convince himself, and was curious about why Ning Wan was unwilling to cancel the engagement, so he wanted to tell her some things so that Ning Wan would give up and avoid hurting her in the future.
Ning Wan paused slightly, shifted her feet, and asked quietly and cautiously, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Jingwen's eyes accidentally glanced at Ning Wan's collarbone below her neck, and then he quickly looked away.
He was originally a little taller than Ning Wan. Three years later, even though Ning Wan had grown taller, the gap between them was still not that big.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingwen coughed twice in an extremely unnatural way: "This is not a good place to talk, please follow me."
Ning Wan looked around after hearing this and found that there were still quite a few servants and maids. She nodded and replied softly, "Okay."
"Aren't you afraid that I'm deliberately trying to trick you out?"
Shen Jingwen had actually prepared for Ning Wan to shirk responsibility, but he didn't expect Ning Wan to agree without even thinking. He frowned slightly, and there was a worry in his tone that he himself hadn't noticed.
Ning Wan frowned slightly, took a step back very honestly, and her expression was already filled with a hint of vigilance.
Shen Jingwen looked at Ning Wan who was retreating, and couldn't help but feel a little amused:
Now I know to be careful, just now...
"I trust you."
After realizing that there was something wrong with his retreat, Ning Wan reacted and gave an answer.
Ning Wan's tone was very light, but it seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, causing Shen Jingwen to be slightly stunned. Then he looked at Ning Wan and chuckled softly:
Believe him?
Trust is something that not everyone can give. Once you give your heart to the wrong person, there is no recovery.
