Gu Shengyin was amused with anger.
"What do you mean by this?" she asked coldly.
Shen Nian looked up at him: "I know what Iâve done is unforgivable. Sister, you can punish me as you wish!"
Gu Shengyin sneered: "Punishing you, will it cancel out what youâve done?"
Shen Nian stared straight at her, his gaze unwavering: "If time were to turn back, I would still do the same."
His words had not a shred of hesitation: "I cannot endure seeing you with other men, for then I cannot guarantee I wouldnât do something irrevocable."
Gu Shengyin wanted to mimic those unreasonable girls on TV and throw whatever was at hand at this infuriating guy.
But neither her character nor Ling Suâs upbringing allowed her to do such a thing.
According to Gu Shengyin, Shen Nianâs actions were simply foolish.
If it were someone else, no matter how much they held him in their heart, encountering such a thing would probably make their heart grow cold.
She had to teach him well how to properly conduct himself.
So she laughed, but there wasnât a hint of warmth in that laughter.
"Shen Nian."
Shen Nian heard his sister call him by his full name.
It was rare for her to do so, indicating she was truly furious this time.
But what shocked Shen Nian more was not this, but Gu Shengyinâs excessively calm tone.
Shen Nian would rather she scold him or slap him hard like she just did, rather than speaking to him in such a calm and utterly cold voice.
As if he were someone insignificant to her.
Gu Shengyinâs tone was very calm, and her thoughts were extremely clear: "Qin Chuan and I are just ordinary friends; he has a girlfriend, Seo Miaomiao, whom youâve met."
Shen Nian suddenly lifted his head.
Gu Shengyin ignored him and continued: "He asked me to look at rings with him because he plans to propose to Seo Miaomiao on her birthday and wanted me to give some advice."
...
Shen Nianâs heart seemed to be going through endless torment.
Sister and Qin Chuan had no relation, and she hadnât fallen for someone else nor would be with him.
Yet he, out of unfounded jealousy, committed such a foolish act.
But this was nothing; what came next was what shocked Shen Nian the most.
Gu Shengyin quietly looked at him: "Do you really like me? If you truly like me, have you ever genuinely felt my heart? Did you ever notice that itâs also beating for you, Shen Nian?"
What?
Shen Nian felt he must be experiencing a hallucination.
Her words just now, did they mean that she liked him too, didnât they?
Gu Shengyin seemed to release something, pouring out everything in her heart in one go.
Shen Nian listened to what amounted to a confession, but inside he felt no joy that should have been there.
If time could rewind a day earlier and he knew this, he might have been over the moon.
But it just had to be after he blew up with jealousy and did something so unforgivable.
At this moment, Sister was telling him all of this, what was she intending?
Shen Nian had a bad premonition.
His premonition was indeed correct.
Gu Shengyin smiled coldly: "Shen Nian, youâre really something."
"Youâre now an adult. I donât want to see you anymore."
