Chapter 74 [VIP] Best Friend's Shield (12)

Jiang Shaoyan didn’t know when he left, but when Nan Yan came out the next day, he was gone.

In the next few days, Nan Yan's life returned to its previous peaceful state, and Jiang Shaoyan never came to disturb her again, as if his last appearance was really just to remind her, but in the end they still parted on bad terms.

As for her relationship with Fu Qingzhou, it never progressed any further. Neither of them broke the window paper. Although they had feelings for each other, they were still in the ambiguous stage, more than friends but less than lovers, so they needed time to adapt. Fu Qingzhou also had not completely let go of Fang Wanrou in his heart.

But this is not surprising. After all, they have been lovers for six or seven years, from high school to college. Love in youth is indeed the most unforgettable, not to mention that it is their first love.

However, this beautiful relationship encountered a devastating blow when it was about to blossom and bear fruit. No matter how much Fu Qingzhou liked Fang Wanrou, he still hesitated when faced with the reality. At this time, Fang Wanrou chose to give up her former lover because of family pressure. Whether it was forced or voluntarily, the gap between them finally existed.

If there hadn't been the life-and-death car accident in the original plot, the two wouldn't have realized that each other was the most important to them.

And now there is Nan Yan, and the most important thing is that Fu Qingzhou has fallen in love with her, and the relationship between the two is still growing steadily. As long as no one interferes, it is only a matter of time before they get married.

They were happily developing their relationship, but Jiang Shaoyan was not having such a good time.

After meeting Nan Yan last time, Jiang Shaoyan almost fled the house where they once lived together in a desperate manner, just because he thought of what Nan Yan said and the scene where she cried and begged him not to break up. Whenever he thought of those things, his chest felt so suffocated that he seemed to be unable to breathe, and unprecedented pain spread throughout his limbs.

It was as if only by staying away from her could he breathe again.

But after he really left, he couldn't help thinking about her. Her face was all in his mind, as well as her crying face. He thought about the grievances she had suffered, and what she did every day. Did she run to Fu Qingzhou again? Were they already together?

Whenever I think of those intimate scenes of them hugging and kissing, those scenes... just thinking about it, no, that's not right! I can't think about it at all. Whenever I think of it, I can't help but get a headache, and the veins in my temples on both sides ache slightly, and I feel so uncomfortable that I almost suffocate.

He couldn't go on like this, he really couldn't think like this anymore, the person he liked was Wanrou, it was obviously Wanrou! For this reason, Jiang Shaoyan began to force himself to date Fang Wanrou, forcing himself to stop thinking about Nan Yan.

But he underestimated Nan Yan's influence. Even when he was dating Wan Rou, Nan Yan's face would appear in his mind unconsciously. Sometimes he would even mistake a stranger with similar clothes for her. When he came to his senses, the passerby had returned to his original appearance. He was the only one left staring blankly in the direction where the person left. He didn't even hear Wan Rou's voice calling him...

Jiang Shaoyan felt that he was really possessed. He obviously liked Wanrou so much in the past, but now he didn't know why he felt indifferent when facing Wanrou, and couldn't even feel a trace of joy or excitement in his heart.

Just like at this moment, he was obviously having dinner with Wanrou, but he seemed a little absent-minded. He even thought of his past with Nan Yan unconsciously. Nan Yan didn't like going out on dates. She preferred to cook for herself. She would often play around while cooking, and then smear flour on his face when he wasn't paying attention... Thinking of that, Jiang Shaoyan even smiled unconsciously.

Fang Wanrou seemed to have noticed his absent-mindedness, but she came not just to have dinner with him, she also wanted to ask him for help with something more important.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Fang Wanrou also put down the tableware, looked at Jiang Shaoyan and said, "Shaoyan, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I came here this time to ask you for help. Fang Group has encountered some problems recently and the funds are not turning over. We really can't find anyone to help. Can you give us a hand?"

After hearing these words, Jiang Shaoyan slowly came back to his senses from his original chaotic thoughts. He looked at Fang Wanrou in front of him, and he faintly had the urge to force himself. He didn't want to be influenced by Nan Yan again. After a long breath, he said directly, "Okay, I can help you, but I want you to get engaged to me."

Hearing this, Fang Wanrou seemed surprised by his request. She looked a little surprised and a little puzzled, as if she didn't quite believe it. "What did you say? You want me to get engaged to you? But why? Isn't the person you like Nan Yan?"

When Jiang Shaoyan heard Nan Yan's name, his heart seemed to tighten uncontrollably. He subconsciously clenched his fingers, as if to prove something. "No, you're wrong. I've never liked her! I was with her only because she's your good friend. Only in this way can I get closer to you and stay with you openly! So now you understand, the only person I like from beginning to end is you. It was always the same before and it will always be the same in the future. It has never changed!"

After saying this, Jiang Shaoyan himself was a little stunned.

He kept asking himself in his heart, is this really the case? Maybe he didn't like it at first, but what about the time we spent together later? Did he really not care at all?

Before he could figure out the problem, Fang Wanrou suddenly gave him a strange look. She probably didn't expect that he would have such thoughts about her and even go so far as to deceive Nan Yan's feelings. You know, she and Nan Yan are friends. She had always thought that they broke up because of their incompatibility of personalities, but she didn't expect there was this other reason.

This made her feel a little sorry for Nan Yan for a moment. If she hadn't often asked Shao Yan for help, perhaps they would not have broken up.

But after listening to Jiang Shaoyan's words, she felt a little strange because she noticed something wrong in Jiang Shaoyan's emotions.

And when he mentioned Nan Yan, it wasn't that he was completely emotionless. If he had thought so before, she might have believed him. But now, Fang Wanrou shook her head directly at Jiang Shaoyan and said, "Shaoyan, are you really sure that it's love, and not because of your unwillingness in your heart?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shaoyan's heart seemed to tremble slightly. He lowered his eyes subconsciously, trying to suppress the discomfort in his heart and said, "Well, I'm sure, that's love."

Fang Wanrou nodded, and suddenly looked at him and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then tell me, what do you like about me?"

"What do I like about you?" Jiang Shaoyan was stunned for a moment when he heard Wanrou's question. Yes, what exactly did he like about Wanrou?

To be honest, he and Wanrou spent very little time together. Apart from the initial affection he felt for her, he didn't even know her as well as he did Nan Yan.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shao subconsciously turned his head away from her gaze and replied in a disguised manner, "You are very gentle and never lose your temper. You are also very cute when you are angry. You remember my birthday. I like the feeling when I am with you."

Hearing this, Fang Wanrou was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing, "Shao Yan, are you sure that the person you are talking about is really me?"

Fang Wanrou thought about it carefully, hesitated for a few seconds, and then continued: "In fact, it was not me who remembered your birthday. It was Nan Yan who wanted to give you a surprise. She asked me privately when your birthday was. It was then that I just remembered that the day of the graduation party was your birthday. After that, Nan Yan hurriedly bought a gift and didn't even have time to prepare a surprise for you."

"Shao Yan, if you really like me, then you would be jealous and sad when I was with Fu Qingzhou, instead of being with Nan Yan for an inexplicable reason at this time. In this way, there would be no chance between us. What's more, I have never felt that you are jealous of Qingzhou, you are just unwilling to accept it!"

Hearing this, Jiang Shaoyan clenched his fingers even tighter.

Unwilling... Is it really just unwilling?

Has his feelings for Wanrou always been resentful? What about Nanyan? He was so jealous of her and Fu Qingzhou together that he almost lost control. Why?

Jiang Shao subconsciously wanted to pick up the cup on the table to hide his inner panic, but his hand trembled uncontrollably and he accidentally knocked over the cup, spilling the wine all over the floor.

Listening to the sound of water drops falling, Jiang Shaoyan only felt that the sound coincided with the scene when Nan Yan was crying.

For a moment, I couldn't even suppress the emotions that kept churning in my heart...

My mind was filled with memories of my breakup with Nan Yan.

He suddenly seemed to realize that when he first saw Wanrou and Fu Qingzhou together, he really didn't feel particularly jealous or angry. All he felt was resentment in his heart! Resentment that Wanrou couldn't see him? Resentment that as a friend, Fu Qingzhou always had the upper hand over him?

Maybe he was moved when they first met, but had he and Wanrou really been together? Did he really understand her? The one he had always been moved by was the Fang Wanrou in his imagination, so he fell in love with Nan Yan when they got to know each other later.

That's why he couldn't stand seeing her getting close to others, couldn't stand seeing her coming back too late, and even felt jealous if she looked at others for a second longer, even though...she had always been the one he liked.

But...what did he do!

He forced her to leave and broke up with her when she was happily celebrating his birthday. He didn't even taste the dish she had carefully prepared for him that day. He was indifferent when she cried and begged. In the end, in order to avoid future troubles, he directly forced her to get close to Fu Qingzhou. Just because he was unwilling to give up, he gave up the person he really liked, and he didn't even know that he had fallen in love with her a long time ago.

Jiang Shaoyan suddenly found that he was having trouble breathing. In an instant, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his heart, which was so severe that his vision went dark and he couldn't even sit still.

Only now did he realize that he had really done something wrong and he had lost his most precious treasure.

But what to do? What should he do?

Jiang Shaoyan really regretted it, he had never regretted it so much before. He could hardly maintain his expression and turned around and ran to the bathroom.
