Chapter 865 Let's say that then.
This result was already within Shen Boyan's expectations, so he wasn't very surprised.
"It's not your fault, don't cry."
His words only made Sheng Yao feel worse. "It's all my fault. I didn't keep my promise to you. I'm so sorry, sob sob sob..."
Shen Boyan's head ached from her crying. "I'm not blaming you. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."
"But what about your company?"
"We'll figure something out."
What else can he do? He's the head of the company. When problems arise, he just has to solve them. Does he have to be like Sheng Yao, crying and whining?
This little thing isn't enough to break him.
Sheng Yao cried, "It's all my uncle's fault. He's clearly rich, but he made up some excuse, saying he couldn't interfere in this matter. I really hate him!"
Shen Boyan said calmly, "He has his reasons for doing this. Given the current situation of our company, it's normal for him to be unwilling, and I can understand that."
“But…” Sheng Yao still felt sorry for Shen Boyan.
If he knew that a large part of the reason his uncle disagreed was because of the Shen family.
He must be feeling even worse inside.
"Okay, I said it's nothing, so it's nothing. I know you did your best, it's not your fault."
Shen Boyan remained calm, his expression unchanged, and instead focused on comforting Sheng Yao.
Sheng Yao's heart was filled with guilt towards Shen Boyan, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Although Shen Boyan kept saying he was fine, she still wanted to do something to make up for or compensate him.
"Um... I didn't do this well, and I won't let you have dinner with me anymore. I'm sorry. If you don't want to see me, I promise I won't show up in front of you again..."
Shen Boyan couldn't quite understand her purpose in doing this. "Is this a way of punishing yourself?"
"Fine, then it's my fault. I have to do something to make up for it. For me, not coming to you is my punishment..."
She muttered to herself, her eyes fixed on the ground, just like a student being lectured by the teacher for making a mistake in a problem back in school.
Shen Boyan was utterly helpless.
In this situation, it looks as if he has bullied her.
Sheng Yao was still talking, but Shen Boyan couldn't quite hear what she was saying.
In short, it's something like, "I won't come looking for you, I won't bother you," or similar statements.
Shen Boyan suddenly interjected, "Can you really do it?"
The words Sheng Yao didn't finish their sentence stuck in her throat. She bit her lip and said, "I..."
Shen Boyan waited quietly for her answer.
Sheng Yao raised her head, glanced at him, then immediately lowered her head again, and whispered, "Okay, I can't do it..."
“If you can’t do it, don’t put so much pressure on yourself. This is not a big deal for me, nor for you, so you don’t need to feel sorry for me.”
Sheng Yao blinked and asked him expectantly, "Can I still come to see you in the future?"
If Shen Boyan were to tell the truth, he would of course say no.
But if he said that, Sheng Yao would definitely cry again. Shen Boyan had a lot of things to do and really didn't want to coax her like a child.
"If I say no, would you be willing?"
"Of course I don't want to. I like you. I would feel terrible if I couldn't see you."
Shen Boyan sighed, "Whatever you want, I'm going upstairs now."
"Hey, wait a minute!"
"Is there anything else?"
Sheng Yao said softly, "Well, although you don't need to treat me to dinner, I'd like to treat you to dinner as an apology for what happened this time, okay?"
Her eyes were bright, with a slight redness at the corners. If she hadn't just been crying, Shen Boyan would have thought she was deliberately doing this just to get a meal with him.
Remembering how sad she looked just now, as if she might shatter at any moment, Shen Boyan softened. "If I'm not busy, then yes."
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he has to ask Sheng Yao for a favor, so he shouldn't refuse, no matter what Sheng Yao's purpose is.
Upon hearing Shen Boyan's agreement, the gloom on Sheng Yao's face vanished instantly. "Then it's settled!"
Shen Boyan nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Sheng Yao hugged him tightly.
"Shen Boyan, thank you!"
Shen Boyan froze for a moment, instinctively wanting to pull her away, but he hesitated when his hand was halfway up.
Finally, instead of distancing himself from Sheng Yao as before, he gently patted her on the back.
"I have something to do, you can go back first."
Sheng Yao was probably reluctant to let go because Shen Boyan hadn't pushed her away.
Shen Boyan looked a little awkward. He was about to remind her to let go when his gaze fell on Qiao Xing, who had appeared at the door at some point.
Qiao Xing went to the dubbing studio today and discussed the script with the studio's screenwriter.
I just got back and saw this scene at the company entrance.
She was initially surprised, then felt inexplicably gratified.
No matter how enthusiastic Sheng Yao was towards Shen Boyan in the past, he was always indifferent to her, let alone like this, where the two of them were hugging each other.
It seems Sun Miao was right. Shen Boyan wasn't actually indifferent to Sheng Yao. Otherwise, someone with his personality wouldn't even bother to get to know her, let alone like her.
The moment Shen Boyan saw Qiao Xing, he took two steps back, forcibly creating distance between himself and Sheng Yao.
Sheng Yao was confused. She noticed Shen Boyan's gaze, which was intentionally or unintentionally looking behind her.
Sheng Yao followed his gaze and saw Qiao Xing.
Oh, it's the girl Shen Boyan likes.
In fact, from the moment Shen Boyan didn't immediately push her away, Sheng Yao knew that Shen Boyan wasn't completely without feelings for her, even if they weren't romantic, there was still a friendship between them.
The fact that he didn't push her away shows that he was still willing to accept her.
But when he saw Qiao Xing, his reaction was as if someone very important had stumbled upon something he least wanted others to know.
Sheng Yao is naive, but she is not completely ignorant.
She knew that Shen Boyan liked Qiao Xing, but Qiao Xing seemed unaware of Shen Boyan's feelings for her.
Even if she knew, what difference would it make? She has a husband, children, and a happy family. In the end, it's impossible for them to be together.
Qiao Xing stumbled upon this scene unintentionally; she originally intended to leave quickly so as not to disturb the two of them.
After all, anyone would feel embarrassed in such a situation.
But who knew that the two of them would see it.
Qiao Xing had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to say hello.
