It was at this moment that Shen Jingwen discovered that Ning Wan's reaction was not what he had imagined.
He thought Ning Wan would be angry, would yell at him, would argue with him like last time, would be impatient to escape from this room, would go to Ning Cheng'an to discuss breaking off the engagement...
He thought and thought, and had countless possibilities in his mind. He even thought about how he would explain if Ning Wan wanted to report him to the government. However, he did not expect that Ning Wan would just stand there quietly.
She frowned slightly, her black hair was a little messy, and her complexion looked even paler due to the black hair.
But she stood there stiffly, as if someone had nailed her to the spot with long nails, unable to move at all, her slightly curled eyelashes trembling, as if she had not yet recovered from what Shen Jingwen had just said.
Shen Jingwen did not urge him, but just waited calmly for Ning Wan's verdict.
He gave the initiative to Ning Wan. If she was still willing to follow him through thick and thin, he would certainly be willing to protect her forever and would not let anyone else hurt her in the slightest.
Ning Wan's eyes revealed a worry that didn't seem fake, but her fingers were crossed together in an extremely unnatural way, stirring the corners of her sleeves, clenching and releasing, loosening and tightening, over and over again.
[Host, what should we do now? ]
Xiao Qi in the space was far less calm than before. If she had known that the male protagonist was going to talk about this, she might as well have talked about the token.
Doesn’t the protagonist’s actions clearly tell the host that he should either cooperate and cancel the engagement, or be “dragged down”?
It was impossible for Ning Wan to say that she wasn't nervous. In the original plot, Shen Jingwen had never confessed this.
She looked at Shen Jingwen standing at the door. He stood there, blocking her only way out of the room. Although he did not stop her, he still prevented her from taking a single step.
Today's random task is being issued: Reject the male protagonist's proposal to break off the engagement again, gain his trust, and complete the key lines:
"If you are willing, the Ning family can be your helper and support you unconditionally."
Time limit for completing the task: ten minutes.
Mission Failure Penalty: The host is very likely to lose the protection of the fish pond owner, Chen Jingwen. (Note: This penalty will affect the progress of completing the main quest, please be aware of this.)
Xiao Qi\u0026 Ning Wan: ...This mission is pretty good, no need to worry about it!
Ning Wan raised her eyes and looked at Shen Jingwen in front of her. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke: "Are you really going to take this path?"
"What about you?"
"Is it really necessary for me?"
Shen Jingwen did not get angry because of Ning Wan's questioning, but just raised a question very calmly.
Looking at Ning Wan, who was three times more beautiful than the most gorgeous flower, Shen Jingwen inevitably felt a little inferior.
If he hadn't been able to see in the past three years that Ning Wan really didn't like Zhou Wenhuai, he would have thought that this marriage was just a tool to provoke someone.
Ning Wan was slightly stunned, lowered her head, and spoke after a while, softly replying, "...Yeah."
"It has to be you."
Ning Wan's tone was light, but it did not allow for rebuttal. When she raised her head, her eyes were full of concern, as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand, afraid that he did not understand her feelings.
Shen Jingwen's heart trembled again.
He suddenly felt that he might be even worse than an animal, as he would repeatedly doubt her sincerity, harbor suspicions, and want to test her.
"...I promise you that you can pursue what you want. If you are willing, the Ning family can even help you and support you unconditionally."
Without waiting for Shen Jingwen to respond, Ning Wan spoke softly again.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingwen tightened his fingers: She clearly didn't say that before, but now she changed her mind for him and even disregarded the safety of the Ning family?
[Hint: Congratulations to the host for successfully gaining the sympathy of the fish pond owner *Chen Jingwen. The fish pond owner's current heartbeat value is 40. Please disguise yourself well and don't let him find out that the host has another fish pond owner.]
