Chapter 746: Chapter 747: Beautiful Master (25)
Lu Xingshenâs mouth twitched, reminding, "Shi Nuan, Iâm only eight years older than you."
Shi Nuan nodded, "I know, but I still want to show my respect to you."
Alright, then respect it is, just as if Iâm using the rest of my life to show respect to Shi Nuan, isnât it the same thing?
Fine, Lu Xingshen, as long as youâre happy.
"Shi Nuan is so good, youâre so obedient. When you turn twenty, your second uncle will give you a carefully prepared present."
"What kind of present?"
"Itâs not time yet."
Lu Xingshen suppressed the feelings accumulated over the years, speaking calmly, like a hunter silently approaching its prey, nurturing, understanding, and taming her, only to finally devour her whole.
So, Shi Nuan, grow up obediently. You canât like anyone else because your second uncle has been waiting for you for more than ten years.
When you turn 20, your second uncle will no longer hold back. Heâll only give you two more years to grow.
Now, Lu Xingshen is too proud, thinking he holds the advantage of absolute power to keep his Shi Nuan.
But he forgets that some emotions are destined, and no matter how many decades pass, whatâs meant to be missed will still be missed, and what doesnât belong to him can never be obtained.
When Lu Xingshen loses his love in the future, thinking of today, he will regret it. He always thought, itâs just two years, more than ten years have passed, how did he lose Shi Nuan in the last two years, and sheâll never come back.
If he had known earlier... he would have confessed his feelings to Shi Nuan much sooner...
But thatâs all in hindsight, so letâs not mention it for now.
Lu Xingshen still had business to attend to, so he left after saying a few words, not even having time to visit the old lady.
He was only adopted into the Shi Family after he was eight years old, so he had no real affection for the Shi Family. If it werenât for Shi Nuan, he wouldnât even return to this family.
So when Shi Yue bashfully greeted him, Lu Xingshen walked away without giving her a glance.
He was always this arrogant, treating only Shi Nuan differently.
Shi Yue felt extremely wronged, she was clearly the Shi Familyâs eldest daughter, while Shi Nuan was just adopted. Why didnât their uncle care for her?
"Shi Nuan, was it you? Did you bad-mouth me to our second uncle, so he ignores me?"
Shi Yue glared angrily at Shi Nuan. There could be no other reason. Their second uncle was aloof and ignored everyone. How could it be like this if Shi Nuan hadnât spoken out?
Shi Nuan rolled her eyes at Shi Yue, "Who do you think you are? Why would I bad-mouth you? What makes you worth it?"
Shi Yue became furious, raising her hand to hit Shi Nuan, but Shi Nuan blocked it in return, gripping Shi Yue so hard that she cried out, "It hurts, let go of me! Shi Nuan, you stinky girl, now that uncle is back, youâre showing off and even dare to bully me."
Madame Shi heard the commotion and came over to ask what was going on.
Shi Yue immediately complained tearfully, and Madame Shi looked at Shi Nuan disapprovingly, "Shi Nuan, youâre the older sister, how can you bully Shi Yue? How does that make you an elder sister?"
Shi Nuan pressed her lips in silence. Look, in this family, sheâs an outsider. Sheâs not Madame Shiâs biological daughter, so from a young age, no matter what happened, even if Shi Yue was at fault, it was always her who got reprimanded in the end.
Would Madame Shi always blame her directly without asking the reasons?
Is it saddening?
Is it wronging?
Of course, it is, but after so many years, sheâs gotten used to it. The deep wounds have formed a protective layer, making her invincible.
Shi Yue, protected by her mother, shot a triumphant look at Shi Nuan.
