I know very well what kind of temper my brother has.
If he didn't really like Duan Dinglan, and loved her to the point that her love was more important than his own life, he would definitely not be so worried and would not attach such importance to forcing her.
Admittedly, from the perspective of an observer, one would inevitably feel that Shen Yao's reaction was a bit too exaggerated.
After all, liking this kind of thing requires mutual affection.
If the only thing left is to force it, it will not be good for anyone.
And my younger brother is already showing signs of this tendency.
This couldn't help but make Shen Xing a little confused.
Is Chen Yao under a spell?
There was no need to ask any questions, because he was his brother, so Shen Yao knew what he was thinking.
Chen Yao took a deep breath and said slowly:
"If Ding Lan really doesn't like me, I will never force it. I just want to be good to her. How could I do anything to hurt her?"
"Ayao, if you respect women's wishes, you are already forcing them."
At least, from an outsider's perspective, he already felt that Shen Yao had been hurt by the coercion.
Wouldn't that cause Chen Yao to be confused by the predicament and unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood?
"If she didn't like me, if she didn't have such deep feelings for me, she wouldn't have abandoned her own daughter and subconsciously taken the bullet for me."
He was not being self-indulgent. Even Lin Bing, who was very close to Duan Dinglan, felt that she liked him, so there was no need for him to doubt himself.
Chen Xingruhua's eyebrows slightly closed.
He now understood a truth. No matter whether it was good or bad words, his younger brother probably wouldn't listen to them.
Therefore, even though I am his elder brother and want to persuade him to calm down and not be so stubborn, it seems that I have no right to do so.
After all, Shen Yao is already thirty years old. He has enough self-judgment and the ability to tolerate mistakes after something goes wrong.
But if this happens, Duan Dinglan will definitely have a very hard time.
This is something that cannot be avoided.
Shen Xing couldn't persuade Shen Yao, so naturally he couldn't interfere in this matter.
As soon as Shen Xing finished speaking, the door of the Zen room was knocked from outside.
"who?"
Chen Yao asked as he opened the door and then involuntarily took two steps back.
When the person he had been thinking about suddenly appeared in front of him, Chen Yao did not have the calmness and composure he had when facing his brother. Instead, he was left with the fear of facing his beloved and the expectation hidden in his heart.
"Ding Lan, why are you here?"
"What about you? Why didn't you go to eat?"
Chen Yao quickly explained: "I didn't mean to not eat, I just simply... wasn't hungry."
He didn't tell the truth, but Duan Dinglan didn't mind helping him complete it:
"I think he's afraid that I'll try to eat it too. If he sees you, I'll run away, right?"
So, he simply locked himself in the room.
The purpose is to make Duan Dinglan feel more relaxed.
She let out a long breath.
Sometimes, Duan Dinglan couldn't help but think about it.
She was a woman with a child, and not only had she divorced her ex-husband, she had also personally sent him to jail. She was a notorious woman in the village. How could she still receive such careful care and treatment from Chen Yao?
Lin Bing always wanted Duan Dinglan to relax about this matter.
She wanted to tell her that Shen Yao liked her, but that was Shen Yao's business, so she didn't need to put too much pressure on herself.
She understood the principles, but when it came time to put them into practice, it wasn't so easy.
She always remembered the look on Shen Yao's face when she just woke up from her coma.
It is like a pearl or a treasure, and is especially cherished.
It's not that she doesn't like being treated like this.
But she still felt that she was not worthy.
Maybe it was just because she saved Shen Yao at that time.
Everything Shen Yao did was to repay his gratitude.
Out of gratitude, she wants to "hold" the rescued person hostage and stay with her forever because of the weight of his life.
Then there will never be true equality between them.
Besides, she also regretted it.
If she were given another chance, she would definitely not rush forward so mindlessly.
So what about them, and what’s next?
Nothing seemed to make sense anymore.
Because of the unequal relationship, Duan Dinglan had a premonition that he would be very tired.
But she can't just continue to be depressed like this.
Her Xiaoqi has not been found yet.
She still needs to be extremely focused and bring Xiaoqi back to her side.
Therefore, both publicly and privately, Duan Dinglan seemed to have to explain things clearly to Shen Yao.
This was also the reason why she came to see Chen Yao today.
"I……"
Shen Yao hesitated.
The reason why he did not refute was because what Duan Dinglan said was absolutely correct.
The main reason why he locked himself in the Zen room was because he didn't want Duan Dinglan to feel uncomfortable after seeing him.
"Do you have time? I think there are some things I should tell you clearly."
For her, dragging it on like this was a torture that lingered in her mind.
As the saying goes, if you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. This is the truth.
Since we are destined to separate, instead of being numb, it is better to cut the Gordian knot. There will definitely be pain, but the scars will always heal one day.
Duan Dinglan believes that one day he will be able to get out of this situation.
Chen Yao's intuition and Duan Dinglan's solemn expression told him a very clear fact.
What she was going to say today was definitely not what he wanted to hear.
Lin Bing's absence meant that no one could interrupt Duan Dinglan.
Chen Yao lowered his head, his gaze fixed on Duan Dinglan's face with longing.
He could agree to any request of Duan Dinglan, even if it meant asking him to go through fire and water.
But the only thing he couldn't accept was that she wanted to leave him.
"Big brother can't do without me here, maybe next time."
The sound of the wheelchair turning could be heard in the Zen room, and Chen Xing's voice also floated lightly from inside the door:
"That's fine. If Miss Duan has anything to say, just take him with you. I need to rest too."
Chen Yao: “…”
His excuse was punctured by his own brother, the person dearest to him.
Especially in front of Duan Dinglan, he seemed unable to argue anything.
It was the first time that Duan Dinglan saw Chen Yao being humiliated.
Seeing his red face and speechless appearance, Duan Dinglan couldn't help laughing.
Therefore, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This was the first time Duan Dinglan smiled since coming to Kongyun Temple.
Shen Yao immediately no longer felt embarrassed.
As long as he can make Duan Dinglan smile more, he is willing to give everything.
Suddenly, I seemed to understand something.
No wonder King You of Zhou was willing to light beacons to trick the princes just to make Bao Si smile.
Chen Yao thought frankly that if he were King You of Zhou, he would probably do exactly the same thing as him.
