Chapter 689 A Disguised Form of Emotional Indifference
Yun Qin smiled and said, "Ah Sen, I wasn't making a fuss."
Wen Yusen stared at Yun Qin, his deep eyes churning with complex emotions. "Yesterday you forced me to marry you, and I refused. Today you just find some random man to take wedding photos with. Yun Qin, do you think I'll give in like this?"
“You won’t,” Yunqin said. “So I’m not being spiteful or trying to provoke you. I really intend to marry Jingye.”
"He's a playboy, and so much younger than you, and you're marrying him?" Wen Yusen's face grew increasingly gloomy as he spoke. "And you still say you're not being ridiculous?"
"Who doesn't have a romantic history these days?" Yun Qin said dismissively, smiling slightly at Wen Yusen. "Although Jingye is five years younger than me, he is much more mature than some people. Moreover, he is young, physically strong, handsome, and rich. Marrying him would only be the icing on the cake, not a joke."
"Wife, don't waste your breath on him!" Zhou Jing looked down at Yun Qin, who was holding his arm. "Let's go try on wedding dresses and pick the style you like."
"Okay." Yun Qin smiled sweetly at Zhou Jingye. "Let's go."
Zhou Jing and Yun Qin turned around, and after taking only two steps, a dark figure rushed towards them from behind—
Bang!
A fist landed on Zhou Jingye's cheek!
Bang!
A fist slammed into Wen Yusen's eye!
"Wen Yusen, are you crazy? Stop it—"
Seeing the two fighting, Yun Qin cried out in panic, "Zhou Jingye... stop fighting, stop..."
But no matter how Yun Qin shouted, Wen Yusen and Zhou Jing seemed not to hear her, and desperately swung their fists at each other.
They all had a habit of exercising regularly, and their fists were incredibly hard; each punch drew blood.
Shen Anning stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.
Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Qi Yue hurriedly pulled Shen Anning to the sofa.
Shen Anning sat down and looked up at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue patted her head and said, "It's fine to enjoy the show, but you need to make sure you're safe."
This was a gesture he used to make.
Shen Anning was completely stunned.
Images of Qi Yue patting her head with doting eyes flashed through her mind.
Five years later, Qi Yue touched her head again, but there was no longer the doting and tenderness she was familiar with in his eyes.
Shen Anning secretly pinched her palm, the pain pulling her away from the beautiful memories of the past. She turned to look at the three of them struggling.
Two men and one woman; the scene was extremely chaotic.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Wen Yusen like this…” Shen Anning blinked and murmured to herself, “I thought he was a very emotionally stable person.”
"Emotionally stable?" Qi Yue couldn't help but scoff, looking at Shen Anning. "Only when you don't love someone can you be emotionally stable. If you don't love someone, you don't care, so you can always remain rational. So-called emotional stability is actually just a disguised form of emotional indifference."
Shen Anning was taken aback.
She turned to look at Qi Yue, "Is that what you think?"
"Of course." Qi Yue didn't notice the strange emotions hidden in Shen Anning's eyes. He was so eager to make Shen Anning see Wen Yusen's feelings for Yun Qin that he overlooked Shen Anning's true feelings.
"Although I haven't talked about it, I understand the logic. My dad has been jealous of my mom countless times in his life, and so have my brothers, including Zhou Jing. They've caused many women to fight over him, but he always manages to walk away unscathed. Why? Because he only plays around with those women; he's never really fallen for any of them."
Shen Anning listened, feeling uneasy.
She pointed at Yun Qin, "So, according to you, Zhou Jing and Yun Qin coming to take wedding photos was just for fun?"
“Zhou Jing is a playboy too; he won’t get married easily.” Qi Yue suddenly leaned close to Shen Anning’s ear and whispered, “Yun Qin and Zhou Jing are also setting a trap for Wen Yusen!”
Shen Anning: "..."
“Wen Yusen and Yun Qin dated for five years and broke up seven years ago.” Qi Yue paused, then added, “Wen Yusen once risked his life for Yun Qin. Do you think he can let go of such love?”
Shen Anning pursed her lips and said, "It's difficult, but not impossible."
“He can’t let go.” Qi Yue said, looking at the three people struggling over there. “Look, he’s very irrational. He’s very ungentlemanly for Yun Qin, even like a violent man out of control. But he’s not like this in front of you, right?”
Shen Anning was speechless.
Qi Yue is right.
Wen Yusen was always a gentleman in front of her, with stable emotions and high emotional intelligence, and never made her feel embarrassed or awkward.
But Wen Yusen is completely different now...
This reminded Shen Anning of Qi Yue from the past.
At that time, Qi Yue was not rational enough and was even prone to emotional outbursts.
But at that time, Shen Anning felt that Qi Yue was too irrational, and his emotionality often made her feel burdened.
But now, Qi Yue has become more rational, and his emotions are much more stable when he is with her.
Therefore, Qi Yue doesn't love her at all now.
Perhaps Qi Yue might fall in love with another woman in the future, but it won't be her.
Because Qi Yue once felt that loving Shen Anning was a very painful thing, after falling ill, Qi Yue's brain erased all memories of Shen Anning.
Qi Yue, who didn't love her, lived a much more carefree and happy life.
Lost in thought, Shen Anning suddenly heard two exclamations—
"Sister Yunqin!"
"Xiao Qin!"
Zhou Jingye and Wen Yusen were shocked to see Yun Qin vomiting blood after collapsing to the ground!
Shen Anning and Qi Yue were also startled by this scene.
Before the two could react, Wen Yusen had already stepped forward, picked up Yun Qin, and hurriedly walked out.
Zhou Jing immediately followed, "I'll drive..."
The farce ended in such a shocking way that Shen Anning and Qi Yue, as bystanders, lost all interest in choosing a meal plan.
Finally, Shen Anning asked the manager to make arrangements, and she rubbed her throbbing temples. "I'm not feeling well, please take me home first."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue immediately asked with concern, "Where do you feel unwell? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
"No need." Shen Anning shook her head. "I probably didn't sleep well during my lunch break. I'll go back and lie down to rest for a while and I'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue said nothing more, put his arm around her waist, and left the photo studio.
...
Qi Yue drove the car into the courtyard of Lijiang Villa.
Shen Anning leaned against the passenger seat halfway and drifted off to sleep.
At that moment, the car stopped, and she woke up.
Qi Yue watched her unbuckle her seatbelt, pursed his lips, and finally asked, "Have you considered taking a break from work and focusing on your pregnancy at home?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning paused.
She turned to look at Qi Yue and said, "My belly isn't big yet, so I can continue working. I'll make arrangements in advance when I'm in late pregnancy."
“You could actually just hand the law firm over to your partner to manage for now.”
Qi Yue looked at Shen Anning and analyzed it with her point by point: "My reasoning is based entirely on reality. You see, you're already sleepy and don't get enough rest even though you're not showing yet. You'll have to work harder when your belly gets bigger. You won't be able to balance work and health, which would be a huge loss. So, don't push yourself. Right now, the most important thing for you is to take care of your own health and the two babies in your belly."
Shen Anning lowered her eyes and responded lightly, "I will consider your suggestion carefully. I'll go in first if there's nothing else."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Anning ignored Qi Yue's reaction, pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
The car door closed, and Shen Anning walked into the house without looking back.
