But at this very moment, the one who made Wen Yan feel wronged was himself.
He lowered his head, pinching his brow in annoyance: "What I said is true. You can go back now. I'll check your message after I've packed my things. If you need a reply now, I can reply to you."
What is he saying?
Wen Yan was so angry with him that she almost cried.
"Shen Jingxiu! Are you out of your mind? Have I been too lenient with you? Do you really think I care about your one or two lousy replies? I came to see you directly today because I care about you as my older brother, and I don't want any misunderstandings to arise between our family."
And what about you? I completely don't understand what you're doing. You say what you're saying is true, but you can't even produce your phone to prove it. You're very suspicious. I'm not being unreasonable; the problem is with you.
Yes, in her heart they were siblings, a family.
But his thoughts were already going off track, and he no longer dared to indulge himself in getting close to her.
"Wen Yan, if you continue, you're just being unreasonable."
"I don't believe you for a second!!! You're the one being unreasonable!" Wen Yan was really furious.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, to the point that she lost control of her bladder and tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Shen Jingxiu, you've changed! Let me tell you, I'm different from you. I'm more honest than you. I've come to you today with a sincere heart to resolve this issue. I haven't been unreasonable, and I have a clear conscience."
"You're going to make me hate you. If anyone regrets this in the future, it won't be me. I'm giving you one more chance. Tell me the truth, or I'm really leaving."
Wen Yan's crying scenes have always been excellent. It feels like her tears fall like they're free, like beads falling from a broken string.
Her original level of sadness, grievance, and distress might have been 50, but after those few tears, the level of sadness, grievance, and distress she shed became - +500.
Shen Jingxiu had never seen her cry so sadly in real life. He felt as if his heart had been squeezed tightly by a hand that had been hovering over his chest.
But we can't give up halfway.
He shouldn't change his mind just because she cried.
He looked up at Wen Yan: "Are you threatening me? You're welcome to try."
"Good! Very good!" Wen Yan quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "Then I have nothing more to say."
With a step, Wen Yan and Shen Jingxiu brushed past each other.
In that instant, Shen Jingxiu felt as if something had slipped away from his body, and he was instantly filled with a sense of emptiness.
But this is not the result he truly wanted.
What he wanted was never to push her away, not even a step or half a step.
"Wen Yan".
Just as Wen Yan's hand touched the doorknob, Shen Jingxiu suddenly turned around and grabbed her wrist.
"Don't go."
Wen Yan's inner monologue: [Damn, thank goodness I wasn't too quick. My tears weren't for nothing. Shen Jingxiu, Shen Jingxiu, why can't I reason with you properly? Why do you have to pull this stunt? Aren't you just being a masochist? Aren't you just being a masochist, huh?]
Shen Jingxiu, being a jerk -_-||: "…………"
So, were you really crying just now? Were you really sad, upset, and wronged?
Am I lying, or is she acting too? What in this world is truly real?
He sighed, unsure of what to say for a moment.
But now that we've already kept them here, we can't just repeat that neurotic conversation we just had.
"Come sit down, what would you like to drink?"
Wen Yan shook her head and immediately jumped onto the sofa.
"No need, your honesty will quench your thirst better than any drink."
So you really are thirsty.
"That's true to some extent. After all, I said so much just now, and when I got emotional, I was almost yelling at you in the face."
Shen Jingxiu chuckled. Yes, she was quite fierce just now.
"Then let's drink mineral water; it quenches thirst."
Wen Yan smiled at Chen Jingxiu: "Okay, please hurry up, thank you. That's my older brother for you."
Shen Jingxiu forced a smile. Yes, brother, just like Ji Yuanzhou said, he'll be her brother for life.
Wen Yan quickly drank the water, and the bottle cap was already unscrewed when it was handed to her.
"Tell me, why did you make me so angry just now?"
Shen Jingxiu sat down opposite Wen Yan, his eyes slightly lowered, not looking at her.
"I'm in a terrible mood, a really terrible mood."
"Hmph, so you use the people around you as targets just because you're really bad? Do you usually deduct your secretary's bonus whenever you're in a bad mood at the company, making the whole office feel tense? And are you the kind of domineering CEO who sends his subordinates to Africa at the drop of a hat?"
Shen Jingxiu was initially quite down, but after hearing Wen Yan's complaint, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Have you been working on scripts for domineering CEOs lately? It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be. As long as subordinates don't violate company rules or cause financial losses to the company, even I don't have the right to deduct their bonuses."
Wen Yan chuckled: "Actually, I know you're a good CEO, but I was just joking with you, wasn't I? After all, the atmosphere in this room was a bit awkward just now. Now, let's get back to the point. So, you actually saw my message yesterday, right?"
"Hmm. I didn't reply to you right away because I was feeling unwell, very unwell. I lay down and didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to clear my mind, as if only in this way could I clear all the distracting thoughts in my heart."
