Shen Shiyan gave Shen Qingshang an icy glare, "Even if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Seeing Shen Shiyan's somewhat embarrassed and angry expression, Shen Qingshang smiled and didn't say anything more.
After returning to the Waterside Villa, Xu Ze took all of Jiang Susu's belongings back to her room.
“Madam, please don’t stay at the Shen family’s house anymore. This is your home.” He felt very uncomfortable while packing his things at the Shen family’s house.
His girl had actually lived in the Shen family's house for several years.
Jiang Susu nodded and hummed in agreement. "I've already packed my things, so why would I go back to live there? I only asked them to take care of me temporarily because my parents went abroad. It won't happen again."
She had no reason to pester Shen Shiyan anymore.
Back then, she followed him around every day, calling him "Brother Shiyan." Shen Shiyan must have been annoyed by her, right? After all, he didn't like her, did he?
Fortunately, she won't bother Shen Shiyan anymore.
Shang Yanxing narrowed his eyes slightly, his dark eyes fixed on the little woman in front of him. He seemed to notice that Jiang Susu was a little sad. "What's wrong? Is Madam sad because she can no longer live there?"
Jiang Susu snapped out of her daze, looked up at Shang Yanxing, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Huh? I... I didn't." Although she felt a little sad, she wasn't upset about it.
If she were truly sad, it wouldn't be because Shen Shiyan didn't like her; she would only feel that she was too stupid for not realizing it sooner.
"Why is the lady so sad?"
Jiang Susu pursed her lips. "It's probably because of some things that happened in the past."
Throughout her youth, she only loved Shen Shiyan, but Shen Shiyan did not love her back.
Even though she has let go of it now, she still feels sad.
Shang Yanxing continued, "Does Madam like Shen Shiyan very much? Why does she like him so much? Is he very good?" Is he even better than him?
Shang Yanxing asked three questions in a row, leaving her unsure which one to answer.
"Huh? I..." Jiang Susu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain to Shang Yanxing.
She used to like it a lot, but she doesn't anymore.
"It's good that you're telling the truth, Madam. I may be jealous, but I won't get angry with you." Jealousy is one thing, but sulking is another.
Jiang Susu answered truthfully: "I really did like him before. We grew up together. When I was a little over three years old, I came to the capital with my parents. It was also in that year that I met Shen Shiyan. Later, we studied together and grew up together."
Shen Shiyan had even said before that he would marry her when he grew up, but she never expected that it was just Shen Shiyan's innocent talk, and that only she took it seriously.
She was too foolish to believe Shen Shiyan's words.
"So that's why the lady fell for him?"
Jiang Susu paused for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before replying, "It's probably because I had very few people to play with when I was little, and I had just arrived in the capital and didn't know many people. Also, my parents had a good relationship with Shen Shiyan's parents, which is why we became close."
She was still young then, and her parents were very busy, so she almost always played by herself. But ever since she came to the capital, Shen Shiyan would take her to his house to play every day.
Over time, she also developed a fondness for clinging to Shen Shiyan.
Shang Yanxing nodded, his face, which was like a work of art, looking at her as if he understood something, and said, "Back then, Madam probably only regarded him as your brother, not that she liked him."
If it weren't for Shen Shiyan playing with her before, perhaps the little girl wouldn't have become fond of and dependent on him?
Jiang Susu's eyes seemed to be misty, making her look somewhat dazed. "Isn't that right? But back then, I thought I really liked him. I even thought I would marry him when I grew up."
Shang Yanxing said that she didn't like Shen Shiyan. Does that mean that she just sees each other as brother and sister, just like Shen Shiyan?
That shouldn't be the case.
Upon hearing Jiang Susu's words, Shang Yanxing suddenly moved closer, his dark, shimmering eyes looking down at her. "Does Madam still like Chen Shiyan now?"
Seeing Shang Yanxing's eyes, Jiang Susu swallowed hard, her hands nervously gripping her skirt, and denied, "No, I don't like him anymore, and I won't like him in the future."
She didn't know why Shang Yanxing would ask her that; it seemed like he was jealous.
But that shouldn't be the case, aren't they... a business marriage?
How could Shang Yanxing possibly be jealous because she likes Shen Shiyan?
She must have been dreaming before she was fully awake.
They married with ulterior motives in mind, and there was no affection between them at all.
Although Shang Yanxing treated her very well and seemed to be a very qualified husband, he decided that he could never like her.
Hearing Jiang Susu's answer, the anger in Shang Yanxing's eyes disappeared, and he nodded in satisfaction. "Well, it's good that Madam doesn't like it. If Madam really liked Shen Shiyan before, then it can only mean one thing."
Jiang Susu looked at Shang Yanxing, somewhat expectant of his answer, "Explain...what?"
"It shows that the lady has poor taste." How could she fall for a man like this?
Jiang Susu: "..."
However, Shang Yanxing was not wrong. Her taste was indeed not very good. How could she have fallen for Shen Shiyan?
And I liked him for six years.
After so many years without a response, she should have let go long ago.
But she just wouldn't give up until she hit a brick wall.
If it weren't for the words Shen Shiyan said at the club that day, she probably still wouldn't have woken up to reality.
Shen Shiyan was unaware that she liked him, but simply pretended not to know because he didn't like her.
[I only see her as my sister. How could we possibly get married? The Shen family is a wealthy and influential family. The future Mrs. Shen needs to be considerate and have a good understanding of the bigger picture. Jiang Susu is too pretentious and affected; she can't be Mrs. Shen.]
She still hasn't forgotten what Shen Shiyan said back then.
Seeing Jiang Susu lost in thought, Shang Yanxing narrowed his eyes and said, "Madam, please don't repeat the same mistake in the future."
That kind of man is not worth his girl's affection at all.
Shen Shiyan was just incredibly lucky; he met a girl who was a little earlier than him.
That soft, white, and innocent face looked at Shang Yanxing and nodded obediently, "Yes, I won't."
Jiang Susu's obedient appearance momentarily distracted Shang Yanxing. His girl wasn't as temperamental as rumored.
Maybe it's just because someone pissed me off sometimes that I act that way?
It looks quite adorable now, the kind that makes you want to touch it.
