Chapter 136 I'd rather be your mother than your bride
The surroundings were very quiet.
Everyone stared intently at Su Ruan, waiting for an answer.
The warm glow of roses illuminated the faces of the spectators, while the air still carried the lingering smell of burning fireworks.
Shen Yu stood beside Su Ruan, his knuckles clenched.
Cool condensation formed on the champagne glass, wetting my fingertips.
Looking at Yan Yunye's deeply affectionate and unwavering demeanor, Shen Yu scoffed inwardly.
The fire that had been burning inside his chest for years suddenly ignited.
It's too late.
Is he only seeing things clearly now? Is he only realizing his mistake now?
They take it for granted when they have it, but only start this grand and selfish regret when they lose it.
He recalled his years at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
Countless times, he watched as Yan Yunye ignored Su Ruan's efforts, even showing contempt and trampling on them.
I also remember countless late nights when she ran away from the corner where they were arguing, her eyes red and swollen.
The slender figure was stretched long by the streetlights, like a lonely shadow that might disappear at any moment.
No matter how much he felt sorry for her, all he could do was offer her a warm cup of milk tea as a classmate.
He stood not far away, watching her humble and ingratiating appearance, and felt as if his heart was being tightened by a thin rope, making it hard to breathe.
He had considered getting closer to her, and he had considered pulling her out of that twisted relationship.
But she only had eyes for Yan Yunye and couldn't see anyone else.
His name is not proper, and his words are not righteous.
He was the center of attention in Hong Kong, but he was helpless when it came to her.
Now that she has finally broken free, she can finally see a different side of herself.
Yan Yunye reappeared, like a persistent ghost, creating this commotion. Was he trying to use public opinion and so-called romance to kidnap her again?
He took a deep breath.
We can't wait any longer.
He had waited too long.
When she finally gave up completely and broke free from that quagmire.
He had just begun to cautiously approach her again, without even figuring out how to start.
He originally wanted to take it slow, to wait until she had completely cleared up the past, and to approach her gracefully at a more suitable time.
But unexpectedly, they were caught off guard by this heartfelt performance that was four years overdue.
What makes Yan Yunye so special?
If he doesn't step in, is he just going to watch her get caught up in this false romance?
no way.
Yan Yunye, don't even think about it.
Shen Yu suddenly chuckled softly.
The voice wasn't loud, but it broke the heavy atmosphere perfectly.
He stepped forward half a step and stood side by side with Su Ruan, his posture relaxed and natural.
"Young Master Yan."
He spoke, his tone still gentle, yet tinged with indifference.
"An apology is a one-sided act; whether or not to accept it is the recipient's right."
He turned his head to look at Su Ruan, a gentle smile curving his lips.
"With such a grand display, where is her wish being placed?"
Yan Yunye's face darkened.
He stared at the half-step distance between Shen Yu and Su Ruan, and his fingers holding the bouquet suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning white.
"Shen Yu, this is between me and Ruan Ruan."
"That's not the case now."
Shen Yu didn't back down an inch, and the smile on his lips vanished.
"She doesn't seem to need your presumptuous attempts to make amends."
"When you lose her, you should have thought that someone will always pick her up."
A vein suddenly throbbed on Yan Yunye's forehead.
Shen Yu's words were tantamount to publicly tearing off his mask.
This further confirmed his worst-case scenario.
The person standing next to Su Ruan was indeed Shen Yu.
That night, Zhou Wei had a photo on his phone of two fingers intertwined, marked with a glaring red exclamation mark.
At this moment, they all turned into poisonous needles, piercing his heart fiercely.
It turns out that when heartache reaches its extreme, it becomes numb.
But he just wouldn't believe it!
Six years, how could those feelings just disappear like that?
Song Shengsheng watched from the side, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
Holy crap!
A mass dog slaughter scene turned into a carnage?
Run, Softie!
Your real husband is still at home waiting for you to feed the dog!
She couldn't hold back any longer, so she darted between the three of them, put her hands on her hips, and rolled her eyes to the heavens.
"No, Yan Yunye, are you acting out an idol drama here?"
"You want to say a few words separately? Do you think this is a movie?"
"Should I add some background music and some artificial rain for you?"
"You didn't lose a star, you lost your brain!"
"Ruan Ruan is doing just fine now, with success in both her career and love life. Why are you suddenly jumping out to cause trouble? Do you think she's having too much free time and just want to make her miserable?"
Yan Yunye ignored them and just stared at Su Ruan with a stubborn look.
"Soft."
His voice was terribly hoarse, almost cracking, and pleading.
"Just give me five minutes, no, three minutes! Just a few minutes to talk to each other, okay?"
Shen Yu took another half step forward without making a sound, completely blocking Yan Yunye's greedy gaze.
He turned his head and spoke gently to Su Ruan.
If you don't want to listen, then you don't have to.
"I'll take you back."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yunye suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot.
"Shen Yu! By what right do you make this decision for her?"
"Ruanruan, say something."
Su Ruan was so angry at the absurd farce unfolding before her that she almost laughed.
She finally looked up and met Yan Yunye's obsessive gaze.
"You're making such a big fuss because you think it's romantic?"
"Or do you feel embarrassed to refuse you in front of so many people?"
Her tone was gentle and calm, but it made Yan Yunye's face turn even paler.
"I'm not..."
"I don't care what you are."
Su Ruan interrupted him, her voice turning cold.
"I'll only say this once, listen carefully."
"I'd rather be your mother than your bride."
"I'll teach you properly how to listen to people."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
The entire audience: "!!!"
The warm yellow sea of stars suddenly became incredibly awkward, and the people holding electronic candles and roses looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
Song Shengsheng suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.
Holy crap! They're going crazy!
high!
That's brilliant!
This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit!
Shen Yu clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, coughing lightly to hide the completely out-of-control smile on his lips.
Shen Yu took half a step forward, which conveniently blocked part of the probing gaze.
He turned his head to look at her, but his lips were pursed tightly.
"It's windy; you'll catch a cold if you stand for too long."
"My car is nearby, shall I give you a ride home?"
Su Ruan looked up and met his clear and firm gaze.
"Okay, thanks."
She nodded, wanting only to leave this hellish scene as soon as possible.
Yan Yunye suddenly gripped the bouquet tightly and stepped forward to block his way.
"Ruanruan, are you really going to go with him like this?"
"Have you really fallen in love with Shen Yu?"
"Our six years couldn't withstand his taking advantage of our weakness in just a few months?"
Shen Yu turned to protect Su Ruan even more tightly.
"Young Master Yan, please have some self-respect."
"Self-respect?"
Yan Yunye sneered, staring at Su Ruan.
"Tell me, is it because of him that you..."
His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice suddenly became hoarse and incoherent.
"You won't even give me the slightest chance?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu's breathing became slightly labored.
He looked down at Su Ruan, the hidden expectation in his eyes almost impossible to suppress.
Could it be that she really...
Will she admit it?
Is it because of his existence that Yan Yunye's path of turning back was completely severed?
