Chapter 324 We are no longer who we used to be

I know Xiaoyu is unwilling to leave with me. Not only does she not want to leave her uncle alone to face the enemy, she also does not want to implicate me. This makes me want to take her away even more so that she can be fine.

But no matter how I talked to her, how I asked her to leave secretly, so that no one would know that she was with me and it wouldn't implicate me, she insisted on not leaving me.

Before I could say anything, Shen Yanci came.

It was not enough for Uncle Pei to just let me leave. He was afraid that the people in the Bai family would not easily believe that what happened between him and me was as rumored outside, so he asked Shen Yanci to pick me up with great fanfare.

After all, Shen Yanci and I have been together since we were young. Although he no longer has the disbelief that he wants me to feel the pain when he is in pain, he still understands me well in essence.

Seeing me looking at Pei Yu like that, he immediately knew what I was thinking. He strode forward to my side, leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Don't worry too much about her. I have arranged for someone to protect her closely, and nothing will happen to her."

Shen Yanci has always been a very loyal person. Pei Shen and he had helped each other before, so even though they were rivals in love, when Pei Shen got into trouble, he came to help him the first time without Pei Shen telling him to.

I didn't expect Shen Yanci to say such a thing, and I didn't expect that he had already arranged for someone to secretly protect Xiaoyu.

This made me unable to help but look up at Shen Yanci. I was stunned for a moment when I saw his calmness, as if he was a completely different person than before.

Shen Yanci is really not the same Shen Yanci as before.

In the past, he was arrogant and willful. No matter how successful a businessman he became, there was always a hint of childishness in his eyes and behavior.

He is also very black and white. If he were the old him, no matter what, even if it meant death, he would never cooperate with his rival in love. Not to mention, when his rival was in trouble, not only did he not add insult to injury, he also protected his rival's family.

He is really no longer the same person he used to be. He has truly matured.

Looking at him like this, I couldn't tell what I felt in my heart, and I didn't think about it anymore. No matter how he becomes, what happened between him and me is in the past.

"Thank you." Xiaoyu refused to leave with me. It was great to have an extra layer of protection from Shen Yanci.

I was clearly expressing my sincere gratitude to Shen Yanci, but these words were like a sharp knife stabbing Shen Yanci's heart.

The pain made it difficult for him to breathe.

We were once the closest people in this world. There was no one closer than us. But now, we have become so strange and polite.

I actually thanked him for someone else.

I am a family to everyone except him.

He knew that he had no right to feel sad. This was all his own fault. He had done all those things that led to the current situation.

But he still couldn't control his heartache.

However, not only did he not show any abnormality, he also looked at me with a smile, "Don't be so polite to me, Pei Shen helped me a lot before, this is what I should do."

It may be that when I was 17 years old, Shen Yanci walked into my heart and was deeply engraved, and also because he has participated in too much of my life from my youth to now.

Even though I have let go of my feelings for him, I can't help but sigh when I see his reactions are completely different from before, and I sigh at his changes.

I feel sad. The young man in my mind seems to be disappearing more and more.

I am glad that he is so mature, but there is always an indescribable feeling in my heart.

But all in all, his change is good for me. The boy in my heart is disappearing more and more, which is also good for me.

Then one day, when I see him, I won't feel any emotion or other feelings anymore. When I see him, I'll be able to do it, just like seeing an old friend I've known for many years.

I can get along with him naturally and talk to him about children's education without any reservations.

All good things must come to an end, and not all couples will be together until the end. It is enough to have had it and not to have wasted your youth.

Xiaoyu insisted on not leaving with me, and with Shen Yanci's protection, I didn't try to persuade her and left with Shen Yanci.

After we got on the plane, Shen Yanci looked at me a few times as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and said nothing. When he looked at me again, I looked at him and said directly, "Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to be like this."

"Although we are no longer husband and wife, we are still friends now. Just say whatever you want to say without any hesitation."

I remember when I was young and in love with Shen Yanci, a friend asked me after they broke up that her boyfriend still wanted to be friends with her. She didn’t know whether she should be friends with him, so she asked me if she could still be friends with him if she broke up with Shen Yanci.

I firmly said no at that time!

I have always felt that this sentence is true: if two people who once loved each other so deeply, it is impossible for them to remain friends after they break up.

Because the deeper the love, the more painful it will be when you separate. Such pain will only make two people want to never have anything to do with each other again.

But now, I took the initiative to say that Shen Yanci and I are friends. Shen Yanci has changed, but I have also changed a lot. We are no longer the same as before, so there is no need to regret anything.

Shen Yanci looked at me, and seemed to be confused for a while before saying, "I'm not in trouble. I just saw in a pregnancy book that some people will have severe morning sickness after pregnancy. I wanted to ask if you have morning sickness or other discomforts."

"If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. I know you don't want to look back and have anything to do with me anymore. We can be fine, but if you need me, you must speak up without hesitation. Don't treat me as me. Treat me as a servant who is always there for you."

"I'm getting your high salary, you can order me around as you please!" Although Shen Yanci still dreams of getting back together with me, he knows the chances of this dream coming true are slim.

It is only suitable for dreaming.

In reality, he has already accepted the fact that we cannot be together, and he no longer dares to ask me to forgive him or give him any chance. He just wants to be a servant who is always available at my beck and call, and serve me with all he has.

After Shen Yanci said these words, he couldn't help but look at me with some trepidation.

Facing his trepidation, I smiled and said, "Okay."

"Don't worry, I will definitely use you wherever I can!"

Before, I always heard that once a woman becomes pregnant, a hormone will be produced in her body, which will make her think about the baby in her belly involuntarily, and everything will be centered around the baby.

I would always be curious, is this true?
