Chapter 680 He’s Not Gentle Because He Doesn’t Love (1)

In her whole life, she had only seen this kind of smile on two occasions—when Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an, and when Su Yicheng looked at Luo Xiaoxi.

In the past, she had felt that such a smile was really beautiful.

But when she saw Shen Yuechuan smile at others like that, she almost went crazy.

The disappointment that fell from the sky was like a curse, forming a dense net, trapping her tightly. She struggled between reason and collapse.

In the end, reason won with a weak advantage.

Xiao Yunyun tried her best to force out a smile and said, “Xiaxia, nice to meet you.”

“Xiaxia, what kind of intimate address is that?”

Shen Yuechuan had never called her name so intimately. Usually, it was polite enough of him to call her “wicked girl” or “Xiao Yunyun”.

It’s really... annoying...

Lin Zhixia tilted her head cutely and reminded her, “You haven’t introduced yourself yet.”

Only then did Xiao Yunyun come to her senses. She smiled and said, “My name is Xiao Yunyun.”

This time, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

She understood why Shen Yuechuan liked Lin Zhixia—

Lin Zhixia was actually her rival in love, but when she smiled, Xiao Yunyun couldn’t hate this rival at all.

She had the characteristics that Shen Yuechuan liked, but she was more adorable than those girls who had the same qualities. So it was reasonable that Shen Yuechuan liked her...

“We’ve booked a seat.” Shen Yuechuan held Lin Zhixia’s hand and said, “Enjoy.”

After that, Shen Yuechuan took Lin Zhixia to the table with the spacious view and carefully pulled out a chair for her. After Lin Zhixia sat down, he walked to the opposite side and got seated.

Xiao Yunyun’s seat was just opposite to Shen Yuechuan’s. Not to mention their actions, she could even see their expressions clearly.

Coincidentally, what she saw on their faces were peace and happiness.

“...” “D*mn it, why can’t she see something that is not so painful for her?”

Qin Han raised the corner of his mouth at Xiao Yunyun and asked, “What do you think?”

He meant Lin Zhixia.

Xiao Yunyun only said four words, “I’m sincerely convinced.”

She lowered her eyes to hide the tears in her eyes.

Qin Han pressed Xiao Yunyun’s hand and slightly shook his head, indicating that she couldn’t cry.

Xiao Yunyun also knew that she shouldn’t cry.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to make up an explanation for it.

If the explanation didn’t make sense, the truth she had tried so hard to cover up would be exposed.

She could only close her eyes tightly and force back the tears that were about to burst out from her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Shen Yuechuan pouring a glass of water for Lin Zhixia. Later, he put his hand around the cup to feel the temperature. Then he pushed the cup in front of Lin Zhixia and warned her carefully, “Be careful, it’s hot.”

“...” Was this the same Shen Yuechuan who often yelled at her and knocked her on the head?

Xiao Yunyun didn’t want to admit it, but she had to admit that Shen Yuechuan never showed his tenderness to her because he didn’t love her.

The truth was cruel. Xiao Yunyun didn’t want to face it and just wanted to escape.

She could accept the fact that Shen Yuechuan had no feelings for her, but she didn’t want to see Shen Yuechuan being considerate to another girl.

“Don’t let your imagination go wild.” Qin Han pulled back Xiao Yunyun’s thoughts. “Be quick. We’ll leave after eating.”

Xiao Yunyun nodded and wolfed down the food without tasting anything.

In less than half an hour, she raised her head and said, “Okay, I’m full.”

Qin Han didn’t eat much, either. He nodded and said, “We’ll leave after saying our farewell to them.”

The two of them got up and walked to Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia’s table tacitly. Xiao Yunyun smiled with satisfaction and said, “We’re full. We will leave now. Enjoy.”

“You’re so fast.” Lin Zhixia’s smile made people feel particularly comfortable. “Take care. See you next time.”

“See you next time.”

Xiao Yunyun and Qin Han walked out of the restaurant and drove away.

Shen Yuechuan’s eyes stopped at the place where Qin Han’s car disappeared. It was a long time before he withdrew his eyes. He noticed the confused look in Lin Zhixia’s eyes. He smiled and asked, “What do you want to ask?”

Lin Zhixia looked surprised. “How do you know that I have a question? But I don’t know if I should ask.”

Shen Yuechuan, such a smart man, had already guessed what Lin Zhixia was hesitating about. He said directly, “Yunyun and I are half-blooded siblings.”

“Oh—” Lin Zhixia replied slowly. “No wonder your last names are different. But you have one thing in common!”

“Hmm?” Shen Yuechuan was quite curious about it. “What’s the common point?”

Lin Zhixia laughed in a low voice. “You’re both very good-looking! Well, Yunyun and her boyfriend are also a perfect match!”

Shen Yuechuan’s face darkened. “... Let’s eat.”

Lin Zhixia noticed that Shen Yuechuan became unhappy, so she quickly changed the subject. “By the way, why did you want to come to this restaurant for dinner?”

According to social customs, a man of Shen Yuechuan’s status shouldn’t have taken her to an average restaurant on their first date.

What’s more incredible was that they happened to meet his sister in this restaurant.

“I have heard that the dishes here are delicious, so I wanted to take you here to have a try.” Shen Yuechuan picked up a stir-fried crab with curry for Lin Zhixia and added, “Try this. It’s highly recommended here.”

“Okay.” Even though she was eating crabs, her movements were elegant and impeccable. In the end, she let out a sigh of praise. “It’s delicious!”

Shen Yuechuan’s cell phone slightly vibrated, indicating that he had received a new email.

When it came to work, Shen Yuechuan’s face unconsciously became serious. “You can eat first. I have to deal with some work.”

“Oh.” Lin Zhixia ‘s voice was so soft. “Okay.”

Lin Zhixia knew that she should be sensible and quiet and never disturb Shen Yuechuan, so she didn’t say anything but picked up the spoon and drank the soup

After replying to the email, Shen Yuechuan found that he didn’t have much appetite. Compared to eating, he spent more time watching Lin Zhixia eat.

Lin Zhixia was right. Xiao Yunyun and Qin Han did look like a perfect couple.

Where would they go after leaving the restaurant?

What about the future? Would they end up together?

Only then did Shen Yuechuan realize how ridiculous he was.

He hoped that Qin Han and Xiao Yunyun could really be together. He hoped that Xiao Yunyun would no longer be trapped in her feelings for him and that Qin Han would give her real love and happiness.

However, he didn’t dare to imagine the scene of Xiao Yunyun and Qin Han hugging and kissing each other. He was afraid that he would lose control.

Perhaps, he should be more ruthless to himself.

On the other side, Qin Han had already sent Xiao Yunyun back to the apartment building, but he didn’t open the door of a car for quite a while.

Xiao Yunyun felt funny and looked at Qin Han. “Young Master Qin, why did you lock me in the car?”

Qin Han frowned and said, “If I let you go. I think you’ll do something stupid.”

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help laughing. “Why do you think so?”

Qin Han said seriously, “I read a piece of news yesterday. A 23-year-old girl committed suicide because of a breakup.”

“So? Do you think all the girls in the world are so stupid?” Before Qin Han could answer, Xiao Yunyun warned him, “If you dare to say yes, I will—”

Before Xiao Yunyun could finish her words, Qin Han said, “Of course, I don’t think you’re that stupid!”

Xiao Yunyun also knew that Qin Han was just concerned about her.

She thought about it and said firmly, “Don’t worry. No matter how sad I am, I won’t do anything to hurt myself.”

Qin Han obviously didn’t believe her and asked, “Are you sure?”

Xiao Yunyun nodded. “I’m one hundred percent sure.”

Qin Han opened the car lock hesitantly. Before Xiao Yunyun got out of the car, he quickly added, “Do you want me to accompany you for a while upstairs?”

“Thank you.” Xiao Yunyun smiled. “But I prefer to be alone.”

At this time, Qin Han didn’t dare to force Xiao Yunyun. He could only agree to her request, “Well, if you need someone to talk to you, I promise I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Xiao Yunyun wanted to cry. It was probably her greatest luck to know Qin Han in all her misfortunes.

She would never know that this night, Qin Han stayed in the hotel across from her apartment for the whole night. Only in order to ensure that he could arrive in the shortest time possible when she needed company.

Xiao Yunyun didn’t feel empty until she got home.

The apartment was arranged by Su Yicheng. The original style was cold and hard. After she moved in, she slowly bought some small things, which gradually turned it into a home of a single girl.

But at this moment, all the arrangements she had put all her efforts into were meaningless. She just felt empty.

Only then did she realize that being single could be nothing to a person only because she hadn’t fallen in love with anyone yet.

“The person you like will become your weakness. Even if you have armor, you can no longer endure loneliness.”

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t deny that at this moment, she missed Shen Yuechuan.

After dinner, where would Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia go?

“To watch a movie, take a walk, and then... naturally stay together?”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t dare to think about it anymore. She rushed into the room, took out Stilnox from the bedside table, and swallowed two tablets.

The psychologist had specially warned her that she only had to take one pill at a time. It was useless but harmful to eat more.

But she was afraid.

She was afraid that a piece of Stilnox could no longer resist the pain. She was afraid that she would not sleep for the whole night and have a terrible and disastrous day tomorrow.

If she couldn’t live a normal life, she would be unable to control herself, and then she might go to find Shen Yuechuan and tell him all the secrets and pains.

She couldn’t let such things happen.

In the past, such an impulse would put her and Shen Yuechuan in an awkward situation for the following days.

But now, not only would this impulse make them embarrassed, but it would also destroy Shen Yuechuan’s current happiness.

Lin Zhixia seemed to be a nice girl with a gentle and pleasing character and a simple and clean family background. Shen Yuechuan must be very happy being with such a girl.

She was already unhappy. How could she destroy Shen Yuechuan’s happiness?
