Chapter 848: Chapter 849: Cutting Straight to the Point
I have to say, Shi Feng spoke a lot of nonsense from beginning to end.
Yet only this sentence truly hit the mark, reflecting the hurdle in Nianyangâs heart since yesterday.
Shi Feng caught the fleeting stiffness in Nianyangâs eyes and grew even more smug, "Nianyang, are you really so sure that Li Tingyan is the right man for you?
Yes, I donât know what you all have gone through or experienced along the way.
But I believe, if a man canât even protect his own woman, what kind of man is he?
Since yesterday has he called you? Cared for you? Made you feel warm?"
These words truly pierced the only, most vulnerable part of Nianyang, with deadly precision.
She couldnât help but remember calling Li Tingyan all night last night, yet he didnât answer, nor has he responded even now.
Never underestimate a womanâs intuition; since the call from Li Tingyan, Nianyang felt something was off.
Plus, the fact he didnât answer the phone last night thoroughly stirred Nianyangâs suspicions.
She kept trying to persuade herself to trust Li Tingyan, trying to remain calm, but now Shi Fengâs sharp words shattered what seemed like a fragile glass doll that was painstakingly held together.
She clenched her fist, her tone less cold and hard than before, revealing a touch of tension, "You donât understand; thatâs because heâs busy, heâs working, he canât call!"
"Do you believe that when you say it?" Shi Feng sneered,
"Li Tingyan is an engineer now, have you seen an engineer who canât take a call while working? With his current status, no matter how busy, he can arrange deputies, itâs not that hard to care about his own woman. Men are very fickle, especially ambitious ones like Li Tingyan, he wonât be completely devoted to just one woman. You might be in his mind, but more so his future!"
Nianyang forced herself not to be perturbed, her eyes cold finding no trace of disarray replied, "Second Young Master Shi, please donât try to drive a wedge, this is really pointless, you know?
Between me and Li Tingyan, what right do you have to interfere?"
"Is it pointless? Then why are you nervous? Donât you know your hands are shaking?"
Shi Feng spoke with increasing vigor, watching Nianyangâs composed indifference turn into panic, it felt particularly satisfying. She hurt him; he had to retaliate, right?
"No matter how strong and cold you are, youâre also a woman. Which woman in this world doesnât wish, when trouble or bullying strikes, that her man is by her side to protect her?
Even if he cannot always be there, wouldnât the basic concern be expected?
Can you truly assure me that in your heart, you hold not even the slightest bit of disappointment in Li Tingyan now?"
Nianyang suddenly changed her expression, her lips unconsciously paled. She hurriedly bowed her head, unable to utter a word. Yes, she was seen through, called out, her sadness and disappointment exposed completely.
She, usually eloquent, couldnât find a single word to retort.
Shi Fengâs face brimmed with sympathy and mockery as he slowly spoke, "Chu Nianyang, you must know, Li Tingyanâs identity, situations like todayâs wonât just happen once; there will be many times in the future.
How much disappointment can one person bear? When disappointment accumulates more and more, rolling into a ball, pressing against you.
Can the love between you withstand such wear and tear?"
