Xie Zhiyan was both amused and exasperated.
Just as he was about to respond to her, he heard Shu Ying muttering indistinctly.
"The spiritual spring water is very good for your health, Ayan, you must drink and use it more often."
Xie Zhiyan was completely confused.
What kind of spiritual spring water? What about drinking more and using more? He covered Shu Ying with the blanket and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Go to sleep, you're too tired today."
Actually, Shu Ying is a very good sleeper and rarely talks in her sleep. Today she was in a daze, probably because she was exhausted. Xie Zhiyan was heartbroken.
Looking at the person sleeping soundly in his arms, he even wanted to hide her away in his private messages.
Especially when he thought about the way Jiang Yunzhou looked at Shu Ying in the conference room today, he understood the message conveyed in those eyes: the bitterness of loving someone but not being able to have them.
Only men can truly understand men, and only those in similar circumstances can truly understand each other.
He understood Jiang Yunzhou's resentment and could see the pain in his eyes, because he had once looked up to Shu Ying with the same longing and unattainability.
During the years he secretly loved Shu Ying, he seemed to see his own reflection in Jiang Yunzhou, the same humility and caution. When he saw her getting along well with other men, his heart was already riddled with holes, but he didn't even have the right to be jealous.
Compared to Jiang Yunzhou, he was ultimately lucky. At least he used to have a marriage contract with Shu Ying, while now Jiang Yunzhou could only be considered an ordinary friend.
The sense of disappointment was enough to kill his pride, so he understood even more that the other person probably wouldn't be able to give up their obsession with Shu Ying even many years later. The person you liked when you were young might become as worthless as rice or mosquito bites if you got them, but if you didn't get them, they would become a lifelong regret and obsession.
Even if he understands the other person, there is nothing he can do. If two people can stay together for a lifetime, who begged for it in their previous life?
Fate is something that can't be explained or defined. They both tried their best, and the rest can only be left to fate.
Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but think that if Shu Ying hadn't agreed to fulfill their marriage contract back then, then Jiang Yunzhou might be him now. Only when their relationships were reversed did he realize the panic in his heart.
Unbeknownst to him, Shu Ying had already taken over his entire life; her existence was so important to him.
He held Shuying tenderly and placed a kiss on her hair, a kiss filled with endless tenderness and gratitude.
He was always grateful to Shu Ying for coming to his side, so much so that he didn't even dare to recall the vivid and terrifying dream he had in the hotel in Shanghai.
It was as if, in the next second, that terrifying dream would come true and mercilessly take Shuying and the child away from him.
