Chen Yuan opened the door and was a little surprised to see Chen Zejing with bruises under his eyes.
"Brother, have you not slept all night?"
Shen Zejing's voice was slightly hoarse, "Yuanyuan, I have something to tell you."
Shen Yuan blinked and made room for Shen Zejing to come in.
The moment Shen Zejing turned his back to her, Shen Yuan had a hint of disgust in her eyes.
However, when Shen Zejing turned around, she had already hidden this expression.
Shen Zejing didn't waste any words and stared straight into Shen Yuan's eyes.
"Yuanyuan, tell me the truth, do you really like Ji Ci, or do you simply want to steal Shen Mingzhu's things?"
Shen Yuan didn't expect Shen Zejing to be so direct, the gentle smile on her face froze, and then returned to its original appearance.
"What are you talking about, brother? Yuanyuan certainly loves him sincerely and wants to spend her life with him."
Shen Zejing said nothing, just staring into Shen Yuan's eyes.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Ji Ci is not suitable for you."
Shen Zejing's tone was calm, but to Shen Yuan's ears it sounded like naked sarcasm.
"Brother, do you also think Yuan Yuan is dirty and unworthy of Ji Ci?"
"Ji Ci is not suitable for me? Is he suitable for her, Shen Mingzhu?"
When Chen Yuan said this, he really felt aggrieved, but underneath the grievance there was also resentment and anger.
Who is Ji Ci? He is the son of destiny destined by heaven!
Only I am worthy of him, but how can a vulgar guy like Shen Zejing understand this?
That bitch Shen Mingzhu must have said something to cause Shen Zejing to react like this.
Shen Zejing took in all of Shen Yuan's reactions. It turned out that even without the filter of the past, Shen Yuan's thoughts were not hidden very well.
It’s just that he never understood it before, nor did he want to understand it.
But Chen Yuan was still his sister after all, a blood relative that could not be severed.
Even if her current behavior no longer matched his imagination of a sister, he couldn't just sit back and watch Shen Yuan go astray.
Shen Zejing made his voice as gentle as possible, and then analyzed it for Shen Yuan from her perspective.
"People like Ji Ci only care about the interests of the Ji family. He is a mercenary businessman. Feelings are a burden to him. If you insist on choosing him, you will be the only one who gets hurt in the end."
Shen Yuan put away his smile, and his words were cold.
"So? Who do you want me to marry, Big Brother? One of those mediocre people you need to win over, or one of the promising young people you think are ambitious?"
"In your eyes, I am not as good as Shen Mingzhu, right? Why can she marry the chosen one, while I am only unsuitable in your eyes?"
Shen Yuan no longer wanted to waste her energy pretending to be well-behaved and sensible in front of Shen Zejing.
Her current state is closer to her true self.
Even Shen Zejing, who had been mentally prepared, felt unfamiliar when he saw her current state.
"Of course not. The Shen family does not need to sacrifice your marriage. You can choose the one you love."
Shen Yuan sneered, she moved closer to Shen Zejing, her tone mixed with strange emotions, "Really? Then the person I love is Ji Ci, will you choose for me?"
Shen Zejing frowned, "Why must it be him?"
Shen Yuan's eyes swept across Shen Zejing's eyebrows, and then the corners of her mouth gently raised a gentle smile. It was obviously a familiar arc, but it had a different feeling.
"Brother, think about this yourself. Is this funny? Why shouldn't I like someone who's not even as good as you?"
Shen Zejing looked at Shen Yuan intently, and it was obvious that her expression now was the same as before.
But he felt as if he had never known the girl in front of him.
When she recalled the past, all her expressions seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Only at this moment did she appear most clearly in front of her.
Having appreciated Shen Zejing's astonishment enough, Shen Yuan's tone returned to its original delicate and considerate tone.
"Yuanyuan didn't mean to embarrass Big Brother, but Mom and Dad also hope that Yuanyuan can be happy, so Big Brother must have a way to explain that it was just a misunderstanding that night, right?"
Forget it, Chen Yuan blinked her eyes, and the look was as innocent as it could be.
The room suddenly began to be filled with a faint fragrance, like the sweet fruity scent of flowers. Shen Zejing stared at Shen Yuan's face, and the expression that he had just seen clearly with great difficulty was once again covered with mist.
He nodded before he could react, "Brother has wronged you, take a good rest, I will continue to think of a way to deal with this matter."
After Shen Yuan knew that he had succeeded, the smile on his face became more genuine.
"Then go and get busy, big brother. Yuanyuan wants to sleep a little longer."
Shen Zejing was obediently pushed out of the room by Shen Yuan, and walked to the stairs and ran into Shen Zeqing.
"How about it?"
However, Shen Zejing passed by Shen Zeqing as if he didn't see him, and then returned to his room without stopping, closed the door and lay down, but fell into a deep sleep in a few moments.
Shen Zeqing thought that Shen Zejing was too tired after not sleeping all night, so he didn’t care.
He walked towards Shen Yuan's room and knocked on the door, then stood there waiting for Shen Yuan to open the door.
Chen Yuan just responded, and after a long time he opened a crack, and stuck his head out with a little surprise. When he saw that the person coming was Chen Zeqing, he breathed a sigh of relief that was barely perceptible.
Before Shen Zeqing could open his mouth, he could feel a strange smell of rust coming from the crack of the door.
"Is there anything wrong, second brother?" Shen Yuan tried hard to blink at Shen Zeqing.
In just a moment, the smell of rust changed, leaving only the pleasant fragrance of flowers and fruits.
"My second brother needs to go back to the lab to work. It may take a long time for him to come back next time. I'm sorry. I promised to accompany you well, but I couldn't do it."
