But this time she clearly felt that without Shang Xian around, her son was living like a walking corpse, not like a human being at all.
This gave her some ideas. She had always liked Shang Xian, who was like her own daughter. So if her son were with Shang Xian, she would be overjoyed.
She didn't have this idea before, thinking that her son shouldn't ruin Shang Xian's life, but now she really, really wants Shang Xian to be her daughter-in-law.
"I don't know," Li Ci shook his head. He didn't know what his relationship with Shang Xian was. Was it a childhood sweetheart relationship? It was definitely more than that.
More than friends but less than lovers? No, he doesn't think so.
His relationship with Shang Xian had truly transcended friendship; it had also exceeded that of lovers...
Upon reflection, Li Ci realized that Shang Xian had become an inseparable part of his life; without her, he felt as if he were being cut by a knife.
"You should think about it yourself. Whatever your answer is, Mom will agree with it, because Mom loves Xianxian no less than you, and I also really like this little girl, Xianxian." Her stance was that Shangxian should not be harmed, regardless of whether her son liked Shangxian or not.
"I see"
He had never thought about this question: what exactly was Shang Xian, and what were his feelings for Shang Xian...?
——
Shang Xian sat in the passenger seat. It was already pitch black outside. She slumped in the passenger seat, looking quite tired. Although she had recovered well, she was still someone who had been in a coma for a year and had just woken up!
"Have you thought about how long you'll wait before getting married?" Shen Yi asked suddenly, his face turned forward without looking at her.
Shang Xian looked at his profile with a strange expression. The dim light inside the car illuminated Shen Yi's face, making his features appear even more defined. She had to admit that Shen Yi was very handsome.
"Maybe it'll be tomorrow, or maybe seven or eight years from now, or maybe I'll just live my own life without getting married. I have no plans. Plans can't keep up with changes, and accidents might come before tomorrow," Shang Xian said with a smile.
Shen Yi was silent for a while before saying, "If I told you today that we're going to get our marriage certificate tomorrow, would you go?"
Shang Xian paused for a moment, then came to her senses: "I think you're very reliable. I don't know where I got the idea from, but I just think you're very reliable."
"You hesitated for more than ten seconds. Is my reliability worth your hesitation?" Shen Yi chuckled, feeling happy for the first time because a girl said he was reliable.
"Although I don't know much about your family, I seem to know a lot about you. I also think you're super rich, so even if we divorce, I won't lose out. Maybe I'll even get half of your assets. It's really tempting," Shang Xian said half-jokingly. But she was telling the truth. She didn't need any love at all. Her parents' past relationship had made her numb and indifferent to love. So it didn't matter what. As long as this man was rich, had a good personality, and got along with her, that was enough. Anything more was unnecessary.
"This is the first time I've been happy because I'm rich." Actually, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He used to have no feelings about his money or his character, so he was fine with whatever he did. It was strange that he was happy because of something she said.
"You may not know my views on love. Once I get married, I will never get divorced, even if the feelings are gone, until I die." Some people may say that he is extreme, but others do not know that the person he wants to marry is someone he likes and wants. Otherwise, he would rather die alone than get married.
