Shen Yi gave her a meaningful look, as if to say: There's nothing wrong with what you think.
"Shen Yi, I'm not at the point of discussing marriage yet, so I won't consider marriage for the time being. If you're in such a hurry, then you should find someone else." She didn't really like Shen Yi, especially not what she knew about his family.
She truly longed for a harmonious and happy family. The reason she was attracted to Li Ci was because his family had a wonderful atmosphere, so wonderful that it made her envious and jealous.
Shen Yi's lips curled slightly; he had already anticipated Shang Xian's response: "I don't mind."
"Alright, I don't want to discuss this anymore, let's stop here." Life goes on, we can't just look back.
Shang Xian ignored Shen Yi's advice and answered the call from Li Ci.
"Li Ci?" Shang Xian pretended to know nothing and called out in a daze.
"Fairy Fairy"
The man on the other end of the phone had a hoarse voice. Shang Xian had never seen Li Ci sound so heavy-hearted. In her memory, Li Ci always seemed confident and calm, but now…
"What's wrong?"
Li Ci stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding his phone: "I've started to seriously think about our relationship. The answer is already obvious, but there are a few words I haven't had time to say."
He stopped, and Shang Xian was still waiting for him to continue. There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, without a single sound.
Until he gasped and said, "I'm sorry."
Shang Xian's eyes reddened.
"Xianxian, I have to get off the train that leads to tomorrow. I'm sorry, I broke my promise," Li Ci's voice gradually choked up.
"Thank you for your care along the way," Shang Xian said with difficulty, then put the phone away. She couldn't bear to hear these words and burst into tears.
Hearing her cry, Li Ci silently hung up the phone. He knew Shang Xian's temperament best. His Xianxian was such a sensitive and proud person. She cried, and he forced himself to hang up. He didn't want to embarrass her or make himself sad. This was the only thing he could do.
Shang Xian squatted on the ground, burying her head in her arms. Shen Yi stood in front of the door watching her. More than twenty years of companionship were gone just like that. It was a dependence that went beyond mere affection...
Seeing her like this, Shen Yi was somewhat dazed. He didn't know if the decision he made last night was right or wrong. This was the first time he had hesitated.
No, he couldn't hesitate! Shen Yi strode to Shang Xian's side, lifted her up, and gently placed her on the bed: "It will all be over."
He walked to the balcony, closed the glass door, and casually dialed Li Ci's number. As soon as the call connected, he went straight to the point and asked, "Do you need any help?"
It's simply a matter of public opinion now. As long as we find a suitable reason to cover it up, everything will be fine.
Li Ci didn't really want his help, and was about to refuse when Shen Yi said, "If I'm willing to do something, you can't refuse."
How can you help me?
"Now, could it be that your relationship with Shang Xian, and your relationship with Yan Ruyu, could be explained by me getting involved? After all, I don't often appear in the public eye."
Li Ci's eyes narrowed: "Are you trying to use Shang Xian as a pretext?"
He had already guessed what Shenyi was going to do.
"Is there a better way? If we don't do this, Shang Xian will be harassed, and then the situation will be beyond our control." It has to be said that Shen Yi is really good at manipulating people's emotions. When Shang Xian is mentioned, Li Ci will definitely hope that Shang Xian is doing well.
