Yu Sheng originally wanted to test whether Shang Yan had left himself a way out, but unexpectedly, he asked her for advice? Could it be... that he hadn't left himself a way out?
If he can't even leave himself a way out, what advice can she offer?
However, she thought about it seriously before shaking her head.
Seeing Yu Sheng's solemn expression, Shang Yan unconsciously placed his hand on her head and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll handle things myself. You just need to focus on what you need to do."
Yu Sheng was initially uncomfortable with Shang Yan's sudden intimate gesture, but when she heard his last sentence, her heart skipped a beat. What did he mean? Did he know what she was doing?
"I……"
Yu Sheng opened her mouth, but before she could voice her doubts, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Ma's voice came through—
"Young Master, Miss Yu Sheng, the Master is calling you down for dinner."
Shang Yan withdrew his hand from Yu Sheng's head, stood up, and said, "Let's go!"
Yu Sheng watched Shang Yan walk straight toward the entrance, and it was hard to imagine that just a few minutes ago he had been sobbing in her arms like a child. It seems that even the most high-ranking and arrogant people have a side that no one knows.
Yu Sheng had always been troubled by her unhappy childhood, but suddenly she felt relieved because she was not the only person in the world with an unhappy childhood.
Perhaps there are many people who are even more unfortunate than her!
Shang Yan walked to the entrance and saw that Yu Sheng hadn't followed yet. He turned around and saw her smiling at him with a happy expression. He asked in confusion, "What are you smiling about?"
Yu Sheng touched her face and asked, "Am I smiling?"
"You're smiling without even realizing it. It seems you just thought of something that genuinely makes you happy. I'm curious, what is it?"
As Yu Sheng got up and walked towards Shang Yan, she said, "I've suddenly figured some things out."
Shang Yan raised an eyebrow: "Something that can't be said?"
Yu Sheng nodded: "Mm!"
Shang Yan didn't know what she had figured out, but seeing her genuine smile, the corners of his lips also unconsciously turned up. Just as he was about to open the door, Yu Sheng said, "Why did you tell me such a private thing?"
When Shang Yan, who was standing with his back to Yu Sheng, heard her ask this, he unconsciously gripped the doorknob tightly and thought to himself: Because I want you to understand me, the real me!
Shang Yan was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Can't I tell you?"
Yu Sheng murmured, "That's not it... it's just..."
"Just what?"
Yu Sheng bit her red lips. "Our relationship doesn't seem to be good enough for you to tell me such private things!"
Shang Yan smiled wryly: "It really hasn't come to that... Yu Sheng, if you have the chance, you'll understand..."
"Understand what?"
"I understand everything I've done for you!"
Shang Yan thought this to himself, but what he said aloud was, "It's nothing, let's go, don't keep Dad waiting too long."
Yu Sheng watched Shang Yan walk out of the room first, pondering the sentence he hadn't finished saying: "If you have the chance, you will understand..." Understand what?
She always felt that he was hiding something from her.
As the two of them came down the stairs one after the other, the four people were still sitting on the sofa, but their eyes were all fixed on them.
Before she could even walk over, Yu Jing approached her, took her hand, and whispered, "How is it?"
Yu Sheng gently shook her head.
Yu Jing asked again, "Didn't you convince your brother?"
Yu Sheng nodded.
"So what did you talk about while you were up there for so long?"
Yu Jing's question stumped Yu Sheng. As she pondered how to answer, Shang Yan, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and said, "We didn't say anything, just had a heart-to-heart talk."
"Have a...heart talk?"
Yu Jing was extremely puzzled. She looked suspiciously at Shang Yan and Yu Sheng. She really didn't know what the two of them had to talk about. But Shang Yan didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards Li Susu.
Li Susu was initially annoyed that Shang Yan wanted to postpone the banquet after the New Year, but when Shang Shichang suggested that Yu Sheng persuade Shang Yan, she almost burst out laughing.
Being loved but not reciprocated is so funny; people are urging me to hold a wedding banquet soon!
At first, Li Susu was calm and collected, but as the two people stayed upstairs for longer and longer, she became uneasy. All sorts of wild guesses popped into her mind, including the idea that the two of them had confessed their feelings for each other and were planning to elope!
So when the two of them came downstairs one after the other, she wished she had mind-reading abilities so she could see right through what they had just said!
So, as soon as Shang Yan sat down next to her, she took his arm and asked with a smile, "What were you two having a heart-to-heart talk about up there? You talked for so long?"
Shang Yan said casually, "It's nothing, we just talked about why I insisted on waiting for Yao Yao to come back before holding the wedding."
Li Susu said coquettishly, "You haven't talked to me about this topic in detail. You just said that we should wait for Yaoyao to come back before holding the wedding."
"I'll talk to you in detail in a bit."
When Shang Yan said this, he seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were actually icy cold.
Just then, Wang Ma came over and said, "Master, dinner is ready!"
When Shang Shichang suggested that Yu Sheng persuade Shang Yan, he was really grasping at straws. He thought there was still hope since the two siblings hadn't come down yet, but alas!
How should this be resolved?
He had no idea what to do, so he had no appetite.
But with the children there, he couldn't say he wouldn't eat, so he could only steel himself and get up, saying, "Let's eat first..."
After the six people were seated at the dining table, Gu eagerly took Yu Sheng's hand and said, "Since everyone is here today, we also have something to announce..."
