Xiao Linghan did not offer tactful advice, but instead told him the truth.
Even if Jiang Tian has no relation to the Emperor, it's impossible for Shen Yan to be with her.
Lady Jinrong was the widow of a meritorious official.
The heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, the future Duke.
One of them was eighteen years old, and the other was thirty. Jiang Tian and the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo were of the same generation.
Such a relationship involves ethics and cannot be crossed.
Unless one is not afraid of public criticism and being regarded as a despicable person.
As long as he wants to maintain his current social status, he cannot make his feelings for Jiang Tian public.
"How do you know it's impossible? How do you know there's only one way in this world..."
The more Shen Yan drank, the clearer his mind became, and the more unwilling he felt.
Maybe, just maybe they can...
Perhaps the Emperor will grow tired of Jiang Tian and banish her from the capital. Then, they might have a chance...
Maybe……
So many possibilities cannot bridge the enormous gap in reality.
Shen Yan knew the truth.
Xiao Linghan knew perfectly well: "If you two want to be with her, even if you both love each other, one of you will have to give up everything you have now."
Otherwise, Jiang Tian would have been his mistress, and her life would have been a life of secrecy.
But Shen Yan still needs to marry a legal wife at that time, and how Jiang Tian will handle the situation will remain a problem.
Or it could be Shen Yan. He has lived a life of wealth and luxury for eighteen years. Now he wants to live in anonymity, just for a woman. Is he willing to give that up?
Even if he were willing, his parents had high hopes for him, placing all the future of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion on his shoulders. Could they easily give up the kindness of raising him?
In short, there are too many gaps between him and Jiang Tian.
There was absolutely no possibility for them to be together.
“If you continue to be so stubborn, it won’t just affect one person in the end. I still advise you to give up as soon as possible, let your mother find someone to marry, and then she’ll lose interest.”
"You don't understand, you don't understand at all..."
Shen Yan was born with everything he needed; his life was even better than Liu Jue's.
Liu Jue had endured many years of hardship, even risking his life at the border to earn a chance to survive.
But Shen Yan said that countless people had been willing to risk their lives for him since he was a child.
He gets whatever he wants.
It's already quite remarkable that he hasn't gone astray under such circumstances.
How could someone like that easily let go of someone they desperately want?
Xiao Linghan gave Shen Yan a deep look, then fell silent.
Everyone has their own destiny. Even though he and Shen Yan are good friends, they are not from the same world.
Whether he understands it or not, only he himself knows.
The bitterness in my heart need not be spoken.
Every word his friend said was actually stating the truth, but it was too cruel for him to accept.
Xiao Linghan fell silent, and Chen Yan drank alone.
In the end, even he didn't know how much he had drunk; the more he drank, the clearer his mind became.
Finally, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Linghan: "I've decided to give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, I'll have no regrets."
Xiao Linghan's expression changed slightly. After a long pause, he asked Shen Yan, "How do you want to try?"
A look of bewilderment appeared in Shen Yan's eyes.
Actually, he had no idea how to try.
After all, Jiang Tian was always indifferent to him, and their relationship was merely that of mutual acquaintances.
Perhaps his mother was admired by Jiang Tian even more than he was.
"Since you don't know, it's best for you to stay away."
