Chapter 900  : It Wasn’t Her (19)

After Shen Zihao said this, he stood up and walked away.

Mei Feng was left standing there alone, looking as though she had been struck by lightning.

The words Shen Zihao had said before he walked away:

“Even if you didn’t agree, you could’ve told me directly. Such unscrupulous means…”

Unscrupulous.

He had said she had used unscrupulous means.

She had poured all of her efforts to win this child over step by step, from opposing her till he trusted her fully.

But now, he actually said with such disappointment that she had used unscrupulous means.

She felt all of the energy being drained out of her at once, as her legs gave way and she dropped on the chair.

She had used eight years to warm his heart.

But because of this Xia Nuannuan, a new hostility had appeared between them?

She curled her fingers tightly.

She had always put up a perfect performance before him, and had never taught him the evils of the world.

Of course, she had never dared to show him this side of herself.

Because… she was afraid of exactly this sort of situation.

Mei Feng sat there for a long time, unable to come to terms with it.

Xia Nuannuan… It was all Xia Nuannuan’s fault!

She gritted her teeth and laughed icily.

This person, Xia Nuannuan, was obviously gentle on the outside but hard on the inside.

A person like her wouldn’t forgive Shen Zihao easily. Hence, once the boy had tried enough fruitless attempts, he would come back.

Perhaps he might even get sick and tired of the girl after having enough, and come home.

So she just had to sit back quietly and watch what would happen next.

–

After Shen Zihao drove away from the Shen family residence, he headed towards Xia Nuannuan’s rental apartment.

He looked up at the building, thinking of what to say when Xia Nuannuan came downstairs so that she would forgive him.

He frowned and sighed.

The truth was that he had never expected Mei Feng to be such a person.

In the past, he had felt comfortable with her and she treated him well.

But under the same guise of doing what was best for him, she had done things to hurt Nuannuan.

He knitted his brow with guilt about his wife.

He sighed again as he leaned back on the driver’s seat. He sat there looking steadily at her window.

It was late.

He turned on the heater in the car and, just like that, fell asleep.

As he slept, he had a dream.

In his dream, Xia Yehua appeared together with Mei Feng.

Then there was also Xia Nuannuan.

The three of them talked to him till he was giddy and confused.

This countinued until there was a banging by his ears that didn’t seem to be part of the dream. He woke up with a start.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was confused and didn’t know where he was.

But when he turned and saw Xia Nuannuan through the car window, his mind cleared up.

Quickly, he opened the car door to say something, but an exasperated Xia Nuannuan interrupted him, “How can you fall asleep in the car like this?! Don’t you know anything? There have been news reports of people falling asleep in the car and suffocating. Don’t you know how to look after yourself? You’re already in your twenties, but you’re like a child!”

Xia Nuannuan sounded angry because she was anxious.

But when Shen Zihao heard her going on and on, his heart warmed up and overflowed with this warmth.

That was the effect Xia Nuannuan had on him. Even when she was mad at him, it put him at ease.
