Shen Tangning sat down, smiling as she looked up at him: "Second sister almost married your husband. If it had been the two of you who got married that day, would your husband have said the same thing?"
In her previous life, Shen Xiwei and Chi Yan's relationship was also not very good.
Shen Tangning was unsure whether Chi Yan knew about the affair between Shen Xiwei and Chi Jingyu.
All she knew was that he was living a life of debauchery and was rarely home. When Shen Xiwei mentioned Chi Yan, her tone was as if she were talking about a hopeless case.
So much so that when Chi Yan died later, Shen Xiwei was not saddened or disappointed, and even seemed relieved.
She hadn't thought about it much before, but now, looking at it again, she felt that Chi Yan's death was unusual.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yan's eyelids twitched. He had a feeling that if he didn't answer this question well, he would be in trouble!
He sat up slightly and carefully chose his words: "We're already married, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Shen Tangning had no intention of letting him fool her, and slowly said, "Let's just say it's a hypothetical situation. Husband, there's no need to be nervous. I'm not an unreasonable person."
Chi Yan felt a headache coming on, but he knew clearly that Shen Xiwei was not his type.
He thought about it for a moment: "If I really marry her, I will naturally give her the respect she deserves. But it seems that I can't give her anything else."
Shen Tangning smiled at him and said, "Your personality is quite rare."
Chi Yan was a rare, unassertive person she had ever met. He gave women the respect they deserved and had no intention of competing with them.
Even if she embarrassed him in public, he wouldn't take it to heart; such a quality is truly rare among men these days.
This is also one of the things that Shen Tangning admires about him. She herself is an extremely opinionated person. If she were to marry an equally strong-willed husband, she would probably end up with both of them suffering losses.
Chi Yan didn't think anything of it: "Women are already in a difficult situation. Their honor and disgrace are all tied to their husband's family. Someone as useless as me would probably not be willing to marry me if I weren't desperate. If someone is willing to marry me, why should I make things difficult for them?"
He appeared calm and composed, showing no embarrassment even when pointing out his shortcomings.
Shen Tangning smiled and said slowly, "Don't underestimate yourself. Your husband is also a very good man."
For a woman, it is already difficult to marry an understanding husband.
Chi Yan felt a sudden burning sensation in his ears as she stared intently at him. He instinctively looked away and touched his nose. "Are you kidding me? At least someone like your second sister would definitely not be interested in me."
A glimpse of the leopard through a tube reveals only a part of its brilliance.
Shen Xiwei is not someone who is content with the status quo; she is extremely ambitious and will not settle down even after marrying him.
Shen Tangning said calmly, "That's because she's blind and incompetent."
Isn't Shen Xiwei now just like Shen Tangning in the past?
Full of anticipation, she thought she had achieved her goal, but little did she know that an abyss awaited her.
She could see clearly that Chi Jingyu, such a selfish and hypocritical man, would always love himself the most.
How long can his affection for Shen Xiwei last?
Chi Yan coughed awkwardly.
Is she praising him?
Tsk, while he certainly has many merits, isn't this a bit too blunt?
Oh dear, this is so embarrassing.
——
Layer upon layer of mountains, shrouded in emerald green.
The deep tolling of bells accompanied the melodious chanting of sutras, and amidst the swirling mist, the majestic image of the Buddha could be vaguely seen.
This is the famous Putuo Temple.
It is said that this place is very efficacious. Anyone who comes to offer incense will soon come back to fulfill their vows, so the incense is always burning brightly and there is a constant stream of worshippers.
The carriage couldn't go up the mountain, and there was a section of mountain road that required climbing up steps. After about half an hour, we finally saw the true face of Mount Lu.
The gate of Putuo Temple was right in front of them. Chi Yan was playing with a foxtail grass in his hand. He noticed that Shen Tangning's fair face was flushed with a light blush, and fine beads of sweat were seeping from her forehead.
