Xiang Zhilan was speechless.
So it turns out he really was concerned about this, thinking that she was so indifferent to Su Yan because she didn't like him.
"If Feng Jingxian had a woman he liked back then, would you have been so indifferent?" Shen Muzhi bluntly expressed her true feelings.
Anyway, he was the one who fell in love with her first, so he lost to her from the start. He doesn't mind losing, he's just afraid he'll never win back.
"Why bring that person up again out of the blue?" Xiang Zhilan frowned; she now only felt disgust towards Feng Jingxian.
"You're feeling guilty." Shen Muzhi was even angrier. She really did prefer the Feng Jingxian of the past to him now.
"Stop being unreasonable, okay?" Xiang Zhilan felt he was being aggressive and pouted, "I just don't like answering hypothetical questions."
"It's not that you don't like hypotheticals, it's that you're afraid to answer me." Shen Muzhi was already certain of her answer.
Xiang Zhilan found his behavior incomprehensible and said angrily, "Fine, then I'll answer you. Yes, I will be jealous. I can't tolerate my man having another woman in his heart."
Shen Muzhi gripped Xiang Zhilan's arm tightly and said in a gloomy voice, "He is not your man, I am."
"So what do you want me to do? To make you stop having feelings for Su Yan? To make you completely forget her?" Xiang Zhilan asked bluntly. "But can you do that?"
Shen Muzhi loosened his grip slightly, withdrew his arm from Xiang Zhilan, rubbed the reddened area, and said coldly, "If you can't do it, don't act like you want me to be jealous. If I'm jealous and angry, what's the point? You just end up making yourself angry. It's just satisfying your male chauvinistic desires. Have you ever thought about what would happen if I really felt bad?"
The silence of the setting sun revealed that she saw things so clearly. Perhaps it was because she saw things so clearly that it was even harder for her to like him. To like him would be to hurt herself.
After saying all this, Xiang Zhilan was actually not happy at all, and turned her back to him.
What woman would want her husband to have a "white moonlight" in his heart? The fact that she can be so forgiving is already exemplary. He wants her to be jealous, yet he doesn't want to forget Su Yan. There's no such thing as a perfect solution in this world; just thinking about it makes me angry.
He even told her to try her best to walk the remaining fifty steps. She was touched before, but now it seems she was just being moved for nothing. Men are like that—they want to have everything and never give up anything; they're always looking for something better.
Shen Muzhi looked at her back, reached out and touched her shoulder, trying to turn her back.
Xiang Zhilan shook her shoulder to stop him from touching her, and said, "I want to sleep. Don't talk to me, or I'll get even angrier. I don't want to argue."
Shen Muzhi now understood what it meant to make trouble for himself. No wonder Xiao Yi advised him not to be so stubborn. Now he had Xiang Zhilan twisted into a pretzel. How could he possibly straighten her out?
Clearly, he lacked Xiang Zhilan's emotional intelligence. Xiang Zhilan could appease someone in just a few minutes, but he struggled to appease someone for days.
During the next few days in the hospital, although she still spoke to him, there was no smile on her face, a stark contrast to her gentle and attentive demeanor a few days earlier.
He called Xiao Yi for advice, and Xiao Yi only gave him one sentence: "You reap what you sow."
When he called Xu Tingchuan again, Xu Tingchuan only showed off his affection for Ni Sitian, saying that he and Ni Sitian never argued and he couldn't help him.
