Duan Ze ate quietly, waiting for Shen Niannian to speak.
Duan Ze also despised himself. How could he not stand Shen Nian Nian's petty schemes?
He knew perfectly well that Shen Niannian wasn't telling the truth... yet he still lowered his standards time and time again.
Shen Niannian: "That was indeed my initial mindset, but after spending a few days with you, I found you to be a very interesting person, and then..."
Shen Niannian took a deep breath and said, "I really do like you, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be angry if you knew my shameless initial motives..."
Duan Ze: "Was my transfer to H Prefecture Luo Qingyuan's doing? Why?"
Shen Niannian certainly couldn't reveal the real reason, so she could only say, "Because my job is being temporarily transferred here for a while, so..."
Duan Ze reluctantly believed this reason.
Because this seems to be something that Shen Niannian is indeed capable of doing.
While eating, Duan Ze asked, "So, what's the situation with your family?"
Shen Niannian sighed inwardly, "It's finally here."
Why can't Duan Ze be a little dumber? What's the point of being so shrewd?
Shen Niannian immediately opened her phone and sent over the Shen family's information.
Duan Ze glanced at her suspiciously, then began to look at the documents intently. The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.
The Shen family's assets must be in the hundreds of millions, right? They're not just ordinary businessmen; they're the richest of the rich.
No wonder my older cousin said that Shen Niannian is no ordinary person; she's a rich young lady.
Duan Ze suppressed the shock in his heart. He knew Shen Niannian was no ordinary person, but he hadn't expected this...
"What is Luo Qingyuan's identity?"
Shen Niannian was a little nervous, but she forced herself to remain calm: "She is Mr. Wu's senior assistant at Henglun. My mother and Ms. Wu have a good relationship, and Ms. Wu is not often at the company, so Qingyuan has more free time."
"I met her when I was studying abroad. Her family's financial situation was just average."
Shen Niannian lied again. They had known each other since childhood, both families were prominent, and she was only two years younger than Luo Qingyuan.
Shen Niannian said in a low voice, "My mom had to take me back with her this time. I was actually very happy that night..."
Duan Ze: "Was your mother kidnapped and taken back because she found out about you and me?"
Shen Niannian nodded resignedly.
Duan Ze frowned: "If that's the case, why did you come back?"
“Miss Shen, you should know that there is a huge disparity between you and me, and between our two families.”
Shen Niannian suddenly looked up, walked over anxiously, and sat down next to Duan Ze.
"Brother Duan, I really like you, so I will defy my family."
Duan Ze also turned to look at her: "But Shen Niannian, if you could resist, you wouldn't have been taken back to Kyoto this holiday, would you?"
Shen Niannian was speechless.
Duan Ze knew his family a little better than Duan Ye. The Duan family was special; once they got involved with the Shen family, they would inevitably be exposed to the public.
In the Duan family, neither his grandfather, his uncle, nor his two cousins, nor his sister-in-law could be exposed to the public.
Besides, if he really wants to be with Shen Niannian, who knows if one day the Shen family will break the law for profit? Should he intervene or not?
Merchants pursue profit.
He dared not gamble.
Anyone with a brain would know that the Shen family would never allow Shen Niannian to be with him.
so…
Duan Ze was now considering giving up on Chen Niannian.
Duan Ze was about to get up when Shen Niannian stopped him.
"Brother Duan, do you not like me at all?"
Duan Ze looked at Shen Niannian and realized that her bright and spirited eyes were filled with tears.
The words Duan Ze wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Shen Niannian: "Do you know why I didn't tell you?"
Duan Ze did not speak.
Shen Niannian: "It's because I know that if you knew my identity, you would back down, because you don't like me that much, so I didn't dare let you know..."
Shen Niannian originally only wanted to use her tears to evoke Duan Ze's sympathy, but when she talked about this, she couldn't help but feel sad, and her tears flowed even more.
Duan Ze sighed helplessly and picked up a tissue to wipe her tears: "Why are you crying? I haven't even said anything yet."
If Duan Ze had continued to ask her questions, she probably wouldn't have felt so wronged, but once Duan Ze comforted her, she couldn't control herself.
Shen Niannian pushed Duan Ze and cried, "Why are you like this? You don't reply to my messages when you're angry. I was so worried. Do you know how many messages I sent you?"
"If I didn't know you were coming back soon, I would have flown straight there to see you..."
Duan Ze: "I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Niannian continued to cry and curse him: "Brother Duan, do you know how annoying you are? Even if I had ulterior motives when I first approached you, wasn't my affection genuine later on?"
"You ignore me, avoid me, and even locked me out, waaaaah..."
"Now you're going to abandon me too... Waaaaah..."
Shen Niannian cried so hard, tears falling like tiny pearls, her eyes were red and her nose was red from crying.
Duan Ze had considered breaking up with Shen Niannian, but seeing her crying sadly, he softened again.
"Don't cry..."
Duan Ze reached out and patted her head.
then…
Shen Niannian took the opportunity to hug his neck and bury her head in the crook of his neck.
