Lin Wanxing was well aware of her position. Although the old lady's words were harsh, it didn't mean that everything she said was wrong.
His second brother felt more pity and sympathy for him. This relationship was too fragile. The appearance of Xie Xiaodong had already thrown him into such a state of disarray. He really couldn't imagine what would happen between him and his second brother in the future.
Lin Wanxing sometimes tends to overthink things, and Shen Huai'an is well aware of this.
"Second brother is good to you because you are my lover, and I truly love you."
"Xingxing, don't overthink it. I'll handle everything else."
Lin Wanxing lowered his eyes in disappointment. He looked at the ring on Shen Huai'an's hand and said with difficulty, "Can we really get married? Maybe we should cancel the wedding for now and not have a banquet."
Shen Huai'an's eyes widened immediately: "What do you mean by that? We're doing just fine, why can't we get married? Did Grandma say something to you?"
"Tell me if she came and said something to you, or if you have any unhappiness in your heart, you can tell me."
"These are just very small things, they don't mean anything. Second brother is good to you, isn't he? Second brother has put all his heart and soul into you, how can you doubt my feelings for you!"
Shen Huai'an was somewhat agitated, and the gentle smile on his face came to an abrupt halt when Lin Wanxing uttered those words.
He had been waiting for this for so long, and he was finally about to achieve his goal, but Xingxing actually said such things to him. He really couldn't accept it.
"I don't doubt you, I just doubt myself, I doubt whether we will break up in the future. This time it was just a small thing and it has turned into this, what about the future? I'm so scared, really scared. I don't know how to explain what happened today, but I'm scared!"
"Let's cancel the wedding for now!" Lin Wanxing lacked confidence. Xie Xiaodong's matter was a thorn deeply embedded in his heart that he couldn't get out. His second brother had always believed in his friend. He had already explained to T and asked him, but T kept avoiding him.
He was scared. He wasn't usually that scared today, but the moment the old lady appeared, he was completely terrified.
"Cancel the wedding?" Shen Huai'an's face darkened, and his entire demeanor changed instantly. The tenderness in his eyes suddenly turned into ruthlessness.
"You actually said you'd cancel the wedding!"
Shen Huai'an's voice suddenly turned cold, hoarse and grating, devoid of any gentleness. He sneered and said self-deprecatingly, "Xingxing, your second brother has really gone to great lengths for our wedding, and now you're saying you're canceling it with me? Are you playing with your second brother?"
"Or do you think it's not too late to back out now?"
"Hmm? Why aren't you answering me?" He tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and a slight smile played on one corner of his mouth. "When did my star become so disobedient?"
Lin Wanxing stared blankly at Shen Huai'an with her watery eyes, her expression filled with disbelief.
Lin Wanxing felt a sense of dread because her second brother's expression and appearance were so unfamiliar. She had never seen her second brother like this before. He had changed from his usual gentle and refined manner to become so unfamiliar.
How could my second brother suddenly become like this? That forced smile was extremely terrifying and twisted. Lin Wanxing could never imagine that her gentle second brother would be like this when he got angry.
This was the first time he had ever seen his second brother so angry in all the time they had known each other.
Shen Huai'an reached out and gently stroked Lin Wanxing's cheek, his dark eyes fixed on her. His large hand continued to stroke her cheek, and he said in a cold voice, "Xingxing, our wedding will proceed as planned."
"But……"
Shen Huai'an: "But what is it? Are you dissatisfied with my arrangements?"
"But I said cancel the wedding, Second Brother, I don't want to marry you for the time being."
"What are you saying? Xingxing, don't make your second brother sad and disappointed, okay?"
Shen Huai'an seemed a little off. Lin Wanxing kept pushing his limits, and he was really angry, but he still tried his best to control his emotions and didn't let them out completely.
"Second brother, did you even listen to me? I told you to cancel the wedding. I don't want to get married anymore. Is that not allowed?"
Lin Wanxing can be quite stubborn at times. The more Shen Huai'an acts this way, the more he wants to rebel and go against his wishes, like a child suddenly rebelling. Little does he know that he is slowly wearing down Shen Huai'an's patience.
Shen Huai'an, who had been stroking his cheek, suddenly grabbed his shoulder tightly. "Why have you become so disobedient? Your second brother is really angry with you."
"You can just say you don't want to get married and then you don't want to get married?"
Shen Huai'an sneered. He had put so much effort into marrying Xingxing, how could he allow her to suddenly back out so easily?
"Xingxing, you should obediently wait to get married. I don't like this disobedient Xingxing at all."
He liked Lin Wanxing who was obedient and whose eyes and heart were full of him.
Lin Wanxing frowned immediately when he heard him say that he didn't like himself. He moved his shoulder and pulled Shen Huai'an's hand away, saying, "Xingxing has always been very well-behaved. It's just that you, Second Brother, have never listened to what Xingxing has to say."
Shen Huai'an pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his face indifferent, and said calmly, "Canceling the wedding is never going to happen. You're not allowed to say things like that again."
Lin Wanxing never expected that such unreasonable, biased, and authoritarian words would come out of her second brother's mouth.
In the past, my second brother would listen to me attentively, no matter what I said. He never treated me like a fool, nor would he look at me with strange eyes.
But now my second brother has lost his gentleness and become extremely cold, as if he has suddenly transformed into a completely different person. How could this second brother be so different from the refined and gentle man he used to be?
"Second brother, how...how could you do this to me?"
Shen Huai'an raised an eyebrow, as if he hadn't heard Lin Wanxing speak, taking it as Lin Wanxing throwing a childish tantrum.
He took out his phone and looked at the calendar, then smiled and said as if nothing had happened, "Look, Second Brother has already booked the banquet. The tenth of next month is an auspicious day, but Second Brother will definitely make sure you marry me in a grand manner."
"The wedding was originally planned as a surprise for you, Xingxing, please stop messing around."
Shen Huai'an's transformation was swift, like a magic trick, instantly restoring his gentle smile. His handsome face remained warm and friendly, and the tenderness in his eyes left Lin Wanxing somewhat dazed.
It was as if everything that had just happened had never occurred, as if it were his illusion; it was all too bizarre.
Seeing his changed appearance, Lin Wanxing began to feel afraid.
His body stiffened, and he swallowed hard.
