Xia An'an had already thought about the problems that Shen Jianian mentioned. She wasn't a dumb woman in love. She had thought about these things a long time ago and had been conflicted over them.
She had never dreamed of becoming Si Lijue's wife. She had even abandoned herself to think that all she wanted was to be by his side before he got married. That was why she had tried her best to avoid the reality. But why did Shen Jianian have to place such a cruel reality in front of her again? "An 'an, I really like you. You have a good personality and you cook well, but don't even think about becoming the mistress of the Si family. It's a good thing to become a phoenix. That's only written in books. It's enough to trick little girls. You have to see reality clearly. Look at the Cinderella next door.
Marrying into a rich family and giving birth to a few sons, but none of them made it into the family tree. It's not that easy to enter a rich family. Your chances are even slimmer. "
"I know!"
Xia An'an said hoarsely. Shen Jianian looked at Xia Anan's hands that were tightly gripping the hem of his clothes. Because he was using too much strength, his fingertips were a little white. He sighed and said, "It's good that you really know. After this, the Si family will definitely introduce all kinds of socialites to Ah Jue. He might even bring women back.
When he comes back, don't do anything stupid like fighting for his affections. "
Xia An'an listened to Shen Jianian's advice. She suddenly felt like Si Lijue was the ancient emperor and she was the concubine who was fighting for his affections in the palace.
Shen Jianian continued, "Do you know what your biggest advantage is?"
Xia An'an looked at him. Shen Jianian said, "Your biggest advantage is Ah Jue's love. It's because he's still interested in you that you can have everything you have now. So, what you need to do is to be tactful. Men like tactful women. If you're tactful and Ah Jue thinks that you're obedient and sensible, you might even be able to stay with him.
Stay by my side for longer. "
Xia An'an listened to Shen Jianian's well-intentioned "advice" and her heart was filled with bitterness.
Whether it was Xiang Nian or Shen Jianian, both of them were teaching her how to stay by Si Lijue's side longer.
It seemed like they were treating her well, but in fact, no one thought that her relationship with Si Lijue would last long. That was right. With her qualifications, it was already an extravagant hope for her to be able to stand beside Si Lijue, let alone marry him.
But Xia An 'an still felt aggrieved.
How could those men talk about others in such a condescending tone?
Every time, she would say that if she stayed by Si Lijue's side longer and earned more money, she wouldn't have to worry about food and drink in the future.
Xia An 'an felt like a prostitute.
Trying his best to curry favor with his financial backer and trying his best to get more money from him. If this wasn't his financial backer, then what was?
In their eyes, she was no different from a prostitute!
"An 'an, you have to know when to advance and when to retreat. Even if you see Ah Jue flirting with another woman, you have to be at your best …"
"Enough!"
Without waiting for Shen Jianian to finish, Xia An'an forcefully interrupted him.
Shen Jianian was stunned. He looked at Xia An'an in astonishment. "An'an, you …" Xia An'an's eyes were a little red. She almost lost control of her rationality and retorted without a care, "Are you all mistaken? From the beginning to the end, it was Si Lijue who wanted me to stay! You can rest assured that I will never covet the Si family's wealth! And I will never dream of becoming Si Lijue's wife! Even if he
Has as many women as he wants, I don't care! And I won't fight for his affection! In the end, whether Si Lijue is married or not, or how many women he has, what does that have to do with me! I don't care! I don't care at all! "
She said these words as if she was taking revenge.
She didn't want those men to show their condescending faces. She, Xia An'an, wouldn't play these tricks for a man!
Suddenly, the tightly shut door opened.
Shen Jianian was almost sent flying.
"Who is it!"
Shen Jianian was about to curse, but when he saw who it was, he and Xia An'an were both stunned.
The person who came was none other than Si Lijue, who had delivered the fruits to Xia An'an.
He was now holding the plate with a gloomy expression.
Shen Jianian's heart was beating rapidly. He trembled as he walked in front of Si Lijue and laughed dryly, "Ah … Ah Jue, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have opened the door for you, hahaha … "
Si Lijue ignored Shen Jianian. He treated him like air and stared fixedly at Xia An'an.
Shen Jianian's face turned green.
It's over, it's over.
He was in trouble this time.
Xia An'an didn't dare to look into Si Lijue's eyes. She lowered her head, but she could still feel the man's anger. Her body couldn't stop trembling. She didn't know how Si Lijue would react.
She even hoped that Si Lijue would scold him or beat him up. Either way, she felt more at ease than the silence now.
Shen Jianian knew that he was in big trouble and wanted to escape. He laughed dryly and said, "Well, I suddenly remembered that I have a date with a beauty. I'll be late soon. I want to leave. Ah Jue, if there's anything, call me. I promise I'll be there as soon as possible!"
With that, he ran away.
Once Shen Jianian left, the atmosphere in the room became even more oppressive.
Xia An'an's heart was beating wildly. She clenched her fists, waiting for Si Lijue to vent his anger. But this time, Si Lijue didn't lose his temper. He even placed the fruits gently on the table and walked towards Xia An'an.
The moment he came close, Xia An'an began to tremble violently. When Si Lijue saw her terrified expression, a dark light flashed across his eyes. He said calmly, "Xia An'an, this is the first time I've ever wanted to spend the rest of my life with a woman. In the end, you pushed me away time and time again. I, Si Lijue, have never been so clingy with a woman.
In the end, I let her trample on my dignity. In your eyes, am I that cheap? "
Xia An'an's voice was choked with emotions. She wanted to tell Si Lijue that it wasn't like that. She liked him very much. She never thought that she would care so much about someone, thinking about him 24/7. But the difference between them was too big. It was so big that she didn't have the courage to chase after him.
She said those words out of anger. It was only because she didn't want Shen Jianian to look down on her that she said those stupid words.
She thought a lot in her heart, but she couldn't say a single word.
What was the use of saying it?
It was the truth. It was impossible between her and Si Lijue!
Shen Jianian wasn't wrong. It was just that she wasn't as open-minded as she thought and couldn't accept it.
She couldn't say it.
She couldn't explain it. She also knew that it was useless.
Xia An'an silently agreed and lowered her head.
Si Lijue looked at Xia An'an and didn't say a word. It was as if he had silently agreed.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself. He actually expected this woman to explain. She had already made it clear that she didn't love him at all. From the beginning to the end, he was the one who forced her. Even this time, he was the one who forced her to come back.
Si Lijue said word by word, "Don't worry. From now on, I will never touch you again. You can stay or leave if you want. I won't stop you."
Xia An'an was so heartbroken that she almost fainted. She didn't dare to raise her head. If she did, she would definitely cry.
