Chapter 225 I Don’t Break Up

Before leaving, she looked at Shen Yu, wanting to talk to him alone, but Shen Changyuan talked to her about the company's latest project.

After Shuangxu went upstairs, he sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for a while. Dinner downstairs was over, and steady footsteps came up the stairs.

She stood up: "Brother."

Shen Yu looked at her: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm waiting for you. I want to talk to you."

Shen Yu knew what she was going to say, and he coaxed her gently, just like when she was a child, "You are too tired today, go to sleep first, and we will talk tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked towards his room.

"Brother." Shuang Xu called him again from behind, "I know you are angry that I made such a deal with him, but this is my own choice, and I am willing to do it."

Shen Yu stopped walking, his back facing Shuang Xu. She didn't see his expression. After a moment, he turned around and said, "You feel willing, have you ever thought about how my parents and I feel? I brought you back and raised you in my hands, is it to train you into a tool and send you to another man's bed one day?"

"I thought about it. I knew you would not agree, so I had to keep it a secret from you. You love me, and I care about you just as much. I have my own scale in my heart, and I know what is worth it and what is not."

"Then do you know that on the scale in my heart, nothing is more important than you?"

This made Shuang Xu feel sad, but also made him more determined: "The better you treat me, the more it proves that what I do is worth it. Brother, we each have our own standpoints on this matter. I will still do the same thing if it happens again. I won't regret it even if you blame me."

Shen Yu was helpless against her, as if he had punched into cotton.

Shuang Xu added: "Just make me angry, don't vent your anger on Brother Tingzhou. You two are the most important people to me, and I really don't want to see you turn against each other."

"You are so siding with him?" Shen Yu's eyes were grim. "I was heartbroken and jealous when you were with Tingzhou, but I never forced you to separate from him because I wanted you to be happy. I watched your feelings grow stronger day by day, and watched him take you away from me time and time again. Do you know how I felt? You asked me to bless you, and I let you go no matter how unwilling I was. Now you tell me that he took you away in this way, Xiaojiu, how can I not blame him?"

"elder brother……"

She wanted to speak, and Shen Yu raised his hand and touched her hair. His eyes and voice were extremely gentle, yet with an irresistible strength.

"Listen to your brother and break up with him."

She always listened to him the most and valued him more than anything else in the world. He Tingzhou might have left a profound chapter in her world, but after ten years of their relationship, Shen Yu always believed that his importance in her heart would not be easily replaced by He Tingzhou.

He coaxed her patiently: "A lot has happened recently, and you are tired. I will go out with you to relax. Don't you want to go skiing? How about I take you to Switzerland to ski?"

The ski season in Switzerland is coming, and the snowy Alps are a paradise on earth.

Shuang Xu shook his head: "I don't want to break up."

Her unambiguous four words froze the tenderness in Shen Yu's eyes.

"Brother, I liked you before, but I had already let you go before I fell in love with Brother Tingzhou. He didn't take me away from you, I walked towards him myself."

"I dared to go to him to make a deal because I more or less felt that he was special to me. He deceived me about this matter. He lied to me that it was a deal, but in fact he had been secretly in love with me for a long time. I don't know if this 'lie' can be considered as deception. Even if it is, it doesn't matter, because I had already been attracted to him before he deceived me."

"It's not all about the deal between us. I told you, I've been attracted to him for a long time, even if there wasn't this deal, we might still be together."

She said, "I really can't listen to you this time. I love him and I can't break up with him."

Shen Yu saw the cool and clear color in her eyes. Her eyes were still so clear and bright, but there was already someone else's shadow in them.

"You don't want to be your brother anymore for a man you've only been dating for a few months?"

"These are two different things. For me, it's not an either-or choice between the two of you."

Thinking of the final argument with He Tingzhou at Taiheyuan, Shuang Xu felt as if his heart was being grasped by a hand and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"One of you is my family, and the other is the one I love. Why do you want me to give up one of you? Brother, are you going to force me to make a choice too?"

I'm afraid so.

"Xiaojiu, not everything can be achieved at the same time. You saw Tingzhou's attitude today. What if he forces you to make a choice?"

Shuang Xu pressed his lips into a straight line: "This is a problem between him and me. I will go back to see him tomorrow."

Everyone else left. Yue Zifeng came back and didn't see He Tingzhou. He looked around the living room and found him sitting on a lounge chair by the swimming pool.

Yue Zifeng walked over, leaning back in his chair, his movements from his brow bone to the bridge of his nose rising and falling sharply, his closed eyelids revealing a cold expression of "don't bother me".

Yue Zifeng glanced at his hand, which held the blue velvet ring box, and his finger bones were clearly visible.

"Asleep?"

The person lying there didn't even move his eyelashes, and there was no reaction at all.

Yue Zifeng sighed and said, "You're pushing your sister too hard, forcing her to choose between you and Shen Yu. Are you trying to drive her to death?"

He Tingzhou opened his lips coldly and said, "Get lost."

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving too." Yue Zifeng said, "Everyone has left, you can go back to sleep. It's so windy outside, don't catch a cold."

He Tingzhou opened his dark eyes, stood up expressionlessly, turned around and walked back, then raised his hand and threw it behind him.

"Ah!" Yue Zifeng shouted, and watched the ring box fly in a parabola into the swimming pool that looked like a sea of ​​flowers, and disappear in an instant.

"Fuck, can you just throw it on the lawn? Do you know how deep the petals are in there? If you go in, you'll be buried. Where the hell are you going to find it?"

He Tingzhou seemed not to hear anything and walked away carelessly through the orange and yellow dancing candlelight.

Yue Zifeng was simply exhausted tonight. He looked at the huge rose swimming pool, lowered his head, and made eye contact with Wansui who was squatting beside it.

Shuang Xu tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and sleepiness was as scarce as the stars tonight.

It has been a long time since the two of them had such unpleasantness. Whenever Shen Yu was involved, He Tingzhou would become unreasonably jealous.

Shen Yu was like a mine buried between the two of them, and this time the power of the explosion was exceptionally strong.

She checked her phone three times. Apart from the concerns from Xiao Liao and Lu Manman and some work-related communications, there was no other news.

After flipping through it for the dozenth time, she took out her cell phone in the dark and sent a message to He Tingzhou.

But until she woke up the next morning, she didn't receive any response.

After a sleepless night, she barely slept. When she went downstairs, Mrs. Wang was still preparing breakfast. She looked surprised and said, "Why are you awake so early? Have a cup of coffee and wait a moment. The porridge will be ready soon."

"I don't want to eat anymore." Shuang Xu was already dressed and walked to the entrance to put on his shoes. "Please tell my godmother for me. I'm leaving first."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early for work..." Mrs. Wang's voice didn't call her back, and she had already opened the door and went out.

On the second floor, Shen Yu opened the curtain with his fingers and watched the car drive out of the yard and disappear onto the road.
