Cheng Songyang’s words seemed to be a slip of the tongue. At the same time, he seemed to be heartbroken that he had accidentally expressed his innermost thoughts. He suddenly clenched his hands and pursed his lips in silence.

Shen Sisi’s face was flushed red. There was joy and disappointment in her heart. She was happy that a handsome and gentle man like Cheng Songyang had feelings for her. Yet, she was disappointed that Cheng Songyang was someone else’s fiancé. Moreover… she couldn’t win over Shen Hanxing with Cheng Songyang’s wealth. She could not bear to live a worse life than Shen Hanxing. The idea of surpassing Shen Hanxing had become her obsession.

“I’m sorry, I went overboard.” Cheng Songyang felt uneasy. He looked carefully at Shen Sisi and whispered, “I… I just couldn’t control myself for a moment. Uhm… You won’t blame me, right?” They had crossed the line just now.

“Cheng Songyang, what do you think I should do?” Even so, Shen Sisi did not get away from Cheng Songyang’s embrace. Instead, she held tightly onto the shirt on his chest. She showed a weak and helpless expression as she sobbed, “I don’t know what to do. Do you know… Zhuang Li… He’s simply a bastard!”

Shen Sisi cried helplessly. The fingerprints on her face made her look even more pitiful. She told Cheng Songyang that Zhuang Li didn’t inform her about his engagement with Wei Xi’er. Initially, Shen Sisi wanted to make Cheng Songyang feel pity for her. However, she began to feel truly sad as she continued her story.

Cheng Songyang was a good listener. As he looked at Shen Sisi with tender eyes, he gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief. He tapped gently on the table in a strange rhythm and made a sound. Instead of being annoying, it was very soothing. Shen Sisi felt like confessing more and more.

“How could Zhuang Li treat you this way?” Cheng Songyang was extremely angry after hearing it. He puffed his chest and said angrily, “You’re such a good girl. If you were my girlfriend, I would love to spoil you. He doesn’t know how to cherish you at all. This is too much!”

“Cheng Songyang, I’m so sad. I’m heartbroken…” Shen Sisi burst into tears. She said in a suffocating voice, “Zhuang Li said that he would marry me. But in the end, he betrayed me… Is our relationship over so many years so fragile?” She seemed to be extremely sad. Her face was pale and her eyelashes were wet with tears. “Is it true that love will never win over benefits? Are all the men in this world untrustworthy?”

“Sisi, you have to believe me. Even if the whole world betrays you, I will stand by your side and support you.” Cheng Songyang grabbed Shen Sisi’s hand and placed it on his chest. He was as solemn as he was swearing an oath. “You are different from other girls. I have never seen a silly girl like you. You have to trust that I will support you. I will not hesitate on anything for you.”

“Cheng Songyang, you are so kind…” Shen Sisi’s face was flushed with sweetness. She looked up at Cheng Songyang and met his affectionate eyes. Cheng Songyang’s eyes looked so charming as if they were taking her soul away.

Cheng Songyang’s voice was calm and deep. His gentle voice moved Shen Sisi’s heart as he said, “Sisi, do you want to be with Zhuang Li? Do you still love him?”

“I…” Shen Sisi’s eyes flashed with confusion. She looked at Cheng Songyang with infatuation and said hesitantly, “I want… I want to marry Zhuang Li.” She did not answer directly.

Cheng Songyang’s lips curled into a mocking smile, but his voice was gentle. “Silly girl, you are too infatuated. It makes my heart break.”

“Cheng Songyang, I feel very sad.” Shen Sisi grabbed Cheng Songyang’s shirt without realizing it. Tears welled up in her eyes. “I love Zhuang Li so much, but he wants to marry another woman. How could he betray me?”

“Sisi, you’re such a good girl. How could Zhuang Li not love you?” Cheng Songyang hugged Shen Sisi tightly. He tried to convince her, “If he doesn’t love you, then he’s not worthy of your love. Listen to me. Can you give Zhuang Li another chance?”

To give Zhuang Li another chance? Shen Sisi choked. “How could I? He doesn’t want me anymore. He doesn’t want me anymore.”
