Shen Qingyu fell into deep thought.
Although Xiao Yunqi is a man of few words and has a dark forehead, he doesn't like to lie.
Otherwise, he would act mysteriously every day outside, and all he would need to do is find an excuse to fool himself, but he bluntly said, "It's inconvenient to say."
Then think back to when the original owner was 165cm tall and weighed over 165kg, with a face full of acne, rough skin, and sickly appearance...
What normal man would have desire for a woman like that?
As the owner of Guiyun Tower, he had plenty of money, and many young and beautiful women were willing to be with him. Yet, that night he went on and on, which was indeed strange.
If what Xiao Yunqi said is true...
He was tricked and drugged, ended up spending the night with a country woman who was incredibly ugly, and unexpectedly became a father to triplets...
How miserable!
Xiao Yunqi might even suspect that he was one of the people plotting against him!
If it were Xiao Yunqi, he wouldn't want to come see himself and his child either, would he?
Shen Qingyu suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for him.
"Fine, if it's really as you say, then I won't blame you for all these years."
“You can leave. You don’t need to support the child. You’ve seen it yourself; I can actually support myself.”
“No, I… I don’t want to divorce you… I…” Xiao Yunqi suddenly said.
Shen Qingyu sat on the giant stone platform, letting the wind dry her clothes, and looked at Xiao Yunqi with a calm expression.
"You want to spend your life with me?"
“Yes.” Xiao Yunqi looked at Shen Qingyu with hope in his eyes.
Shen Qingyu looked at Xiao Yunqi: "Then can you tell me about your family situation? And your current situation?"
Xiao Yunqi was in a dilemma.
What's the situation at home?
A complete mess.
What is my situation?
It involves state secrets, so he cannot say anything yet, at least not now.
"...Give me some more time... Now...
Shen Qingyu said seriously, "Xiao Yunqi, you don't have to do this."
"What?"
"You investigated and found that I wasn't the one who framed you, right?"
"You feel guilty towards me and the children? Is that right?"
"You want to compensate us? Is that it?"
“You’ve done a great job lately, and you’ve worked very hard.”
"You clearly have no feelings for the triplets, but you're trying your best to make up for it. You're also very generous to me, giving me a lot of money."
"From now on, I won't blame you anymore."
Shen Qingyu felt the mountain breeze and looked at the undulating mountains in the distance.
Below that small hill is the village I traveled from, Shenjia Village.
There, she had three children.
With her own abilities, supporting three children is not a problem.
So why make things difficult for yourself and others?
From the time she was often confined at home as a child, she knew that relying on others was never reliable.
Xiao Yunqi was startled by the loneliness emanating from Shen Qingyu!
She was right beside him, yet she sat there like an abandoned child, hugging her knees, looking utterly isolated from the world.
Xiao Yunqi felt a slight pain in his heart.
He wanted to go over and hug her.
But reason told him: he couldn't hug her, it would cause trouble.
This woman doesn't trust him, doesn't like him getting close, and is distant from him.
After much thought, Xiao Yunqi said in a deep voice, "I have already investigated the matter of being schemed against back then. It was my stepmother who did it."
"Her people eventually found your sister. The drug was given to me by my stepmother, and it was your sister who drugged her."
Such potent medicine is simply unavailable to ordinary people.
Only his stepmother could have the ability to obtain such potent medicine.
Shen Qingyu: "!!!"
"Your stepmother hates you that much? Is she trying to kill you?" Shen Qingyu unconsciously started gossiping, and her expression was no longer so lonely.
Xiao Yunqi: "She wouldn't dare kill me; she's afraid my father will come after her. She wants to ruin me. She ruined my marriage and my future."
Shen Qingyu: "..."
Stepmothers are really scary.
After saying what he could, Xiao Yunqi looked at Shen Qingyu and said, "I didn't stay just because I felt guilty..."
Shen Qingyu nodded, understanding: "It's also because of Wen Che. I can see that."
Although Wen Che had a gentle temperament, he possessed an innate air of nobility and authority.
This is not something that can be bought with money, nor can it be concealed by simple clothes and straw sandals.
"It's not just because of Wen Che..."
Xiao Yunqi felt that his path to confessing his feelings was particularly difficult: Why did she always think of other people and other things?
Couldn't I just do it because of her?
"Then what is it for?" Shen Qingyu asked in surprise.
"I... I think you're very good..." After saying that, Xiao Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Qingyu froze for three seconds before realizing what she meant: "You mean, you've taken a liking to me?"
How straightforward that is!
Xiao Yunqi nodded immediately: "Yes... I've taken a liking to you!"
Shen Qingyu blinked her eyes: "Don't fall for me."
"Why? We already have a child..." Isn't it a good thing that someone has fallen for you and is willing to spend their life with you?
"Because I wouldn't be interested in you."
After saying that, Shen Qingyu thought for a moment and added, "I won't take a fancy to any man."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to rely on a man in my life. Men are unreliable."
The truth is: you can't rely on anyone.
The only person you can ever truly rely on is yourself.
Xiao Yunqi immediately declared, "I can rely on you! I will never let you down again!"
