Chapter 700 Qi Yue: Ningning, why don't you believe me?
Shen Anning blinked and sighed, "I regret being too young and hasty in confirming our relationship, but I don't regret falling in love with Qi Yue."
Fu Nian'an: "..."
In the end, it all comes down to being blinded by love!
Shen Anning looked at Fu Nian'an, knowing that after hearing her words, he would definitely be thinking to himself that she was love-struck.
"Brother, I just feel that I wasn't mature enough. I was too young and too confident in myself back then. I always thought I could balance love and studies, but I neglected Qi Yue's feelings because of that."
As Shen Anning spoke, she turned her head and looked at the neon lights on the other side of the Lijiang River. "It was my naivety and arrogance that hurt Qi Yue."
“You did nothing wrong. Qi Yue’s decision to break up with you is his own problem.” Fu Nian’an looked at her seriously. “If you continue to hold this mindset, one day you will lose yourself in this marriage!”
Shen Anning pursed her lips. "But I have to try, otherwise I'll keep dwelling on this. For the past five years, I've always asked myself, if I had cared more about Qi Yue back then, if I had trusted Qi Yue more, would the outcome have been different?"
"That kind of thinking is wrong!" Fu Nian'an said forcefully, "Shen Anning, Qi Yue's psychological problems may be related to genetics or his childhood experiences, but they have nothing to do with you! I'll say it again, I don't have high hopes for you two, but now that you have a child, you have to consider a win-win situation. As the uncle of these two children, I'm telling you clearly that from tonight onwards, I will control my emotions in front of Qi Yue. But I'm doing this only because I don't want to put you and the two children in a difficult position. I have no sympathy for him at all."
Shen Anning stared at him blankly.
I was shocked and moved by his words.
They are twins, and their relationship is even closer than that of biological siblings. In fact, if something bad happens to one of them, the other will also feel noticeably anxious and uncomfortable.
Just like that night five years ago, when she suffered a miscarriage and severe bleeding in the capital, Fu Nian'an also developed a high fever without warning that night.
The next day, before dawn, Fu Nian'an called her, but she was still unconscious. Chu Yuke answered the phone for her and lied, saying that she was drunk and had just fallen asleep after a night of tossing and turning.
Fu Nian'an was on a business trip abroad at the time and asked Chu Yuke to take care of her. He promised to finish his work as soon as possible and rush to Beijing to see her.
When she woke up, Chu Yuke told her that Fu Nian'an planned to come to see her, probably in the next day or two.
Shen Anning was worried that her miscarriage would be exposed, so she was discharged from the hospital that afternoon and returned to her rented apartment to recuperate.
Fortunately, Fu Nian'an arrived on the afternoon of the third day. At that time, she had not yet recovered and looked terrible. She lied and said that she had a cold and fever and had just returned from the hospital after receiving an IV drip.
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an felt both heartache and helplessness, but still coldly scolded her, telling her to cheer up quickly, as she didn't want to cause him to fall ill for no reason.
Shen Anning felt guilty and uncomfortable when she heard Fu Nian'an's words.
He felt guilty because he had deceived Fu Nian'an.
She felt bad because she blamed herself for being useless and dragging down her brother who had loved and cared for her since childhood.
At that time, Shen Anning fell into an extreme state of self-doubt, always feeling that she was too selfish and always made the people who cared about her feel sad and worried.
She even spent many sleepless nights repeatedly questioning herself why she hadn't believed Qi Yue back then. If she had believed Qi Yue, perhaps Qi Yue's illness wouldn't have become so serious, perhaps she and Qi Yue wouldn't have ended up like this...
But there are no "what ifs." Qi Yue lost the courage to love her, which is why he forgot her alone.
If she had persisted a little more, been a little braver that day, and hadn't turned away so easily, Qi Yue wouldn't have had a car accident while chasing after her.
That car accident almost cost Qi Yue his life.
This is Shen Anning's lingering fear.
This lingering fear lasted for five years, turning into shame, which led her to avoid every possible opportunity to meet Qi Yue during those five years.
But ever since that farcical blind date, the gears of fate seem to have started turning again.
She and Qi Yue repeatedly bumped into each other, and each time they were drawn together by various unexpected events.
Shen Anning tried to escape and struggled, but in the end, she could not escape the outcome of being entangled with Qi Yue.
If that's the case, then let's just consider it as fate giving her and Qi Yue a second chance.
This time, she will be the brave one, the one who trusts Qi Yue wholeheartedly and unconditionally.
…
When the brother and sister finished their conversation and returned to their guest room, Sister Yun just brought up the hangover soup.
"The hangover soup is ready. I'll take it to the son-in-law right away," Sister Yun said, looking at the two of them.
Shen Anning turned her head and looked at Fu Nian'an expectantly.
How pathetic!
Fu Nian'an snorted coldly, "Watch him finish drinking and then go downstairs to rest!"
Shen Anning immediately flashed a sweet smile, "Okay!"
Fu Nian'an shook her head and sighed, pinched the bridge of her nose, and started walking downstairs.
Shen Anning didn't look away until Fu Nian'an's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs before turning her gaze to Sister Yun.
"Sister Yun, please give me the hangover soup."
“You’re pregnant!” Aunt Yun said. “Let me take it inside for you.”
Shen Anning knew that Sister Yun was concerned about her, so she smiled and said okay.
Aunt Yun placed the hangover soup on the bedside table, turned to look at Shen Anning, and asked with concern, "Should I stay and lend a hand?"
"No need, Sister Yun, you go and rest. I watched Qi Yue finish drinking the hangover soup and then go downstairs to rest."
"Okay, then you have to be very careful. If you can't handle it by yourself, call me. You're pregnant, so you can't push yourself!"
"I know!" Shen Anning said, both amused and exasperated. "Sister Yun, you should go and rest now."
Aunt Yun was still worried and kept turning back every three steps.
Shen Anning waved at her, feeling utterly helpless.
After taking Sister Yun out, Shen Anning walked to the bedside and sat down, gently patting Qi Yue's arm.
Qi Yue frowned slightly; the person still hadn't woken up.
Shen Anning could only pat his face, "Qi Yue, wake up, get up and drink some hangover soup, otherwise you'll feel terrible tomorrow."
Qi Yue opened his eyes groggily. Through his blurry vision, he vaguely saw a woman. He couldn't make out her features, but she seemed incredibly familiar to him.
A strong feeling welled up inside me.
"Ningning, Ningning, is that you...?"
Shen Anning had not yet noticed Qi Yue's abnormality, and thought he was simply drunk and his vision was blurred so he couldn't see people clearly.
She felt both sorry for him and helpless. "It's me. Honestly, you knew my brother was deliberately making things difficult for you, so why did you keep drinking? You drank so much, now you're feeling terrible!"
She took out a few tissues and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Drinking is bad for your health. You need to take care of yourself..."
Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by the man's large hand.
The man's palms were burning hot.
Shen Anning paused, looking at Qi Yue with a puzzled expression.
Qi Yue looked at her, his eyes bloodshot. "Ningning, why don't you believe me?"
Shen Anning was stunned!
