Zhou Xiangling pondered for a long time and said, "Nan Xian didn't tell you, I think he did nothing wrong in this regard."
"Yes." Actually, he did nothing wrong.
It was not until she grew up that she realized that he had his reasons.
Before Wenrou confessed to him, he couldn't be sure whether his feelings were real. If not, he would be a mean person if he said it out loud. And even if he did, she might not believe it. If she was ignorant of the world and went to question Wenrou, it would make Wenrou even more embarrassed.
And even if his feelings were true, even if she believed it, she would definitely not be able to face Wenrou naturally at that time. She might become worried and never be happy again. And once the sensitive Wenrou sensed her changes, she would definitely not feel better.
Zhan Nanxian understood her character better than she did. He didn't want her to feel pressured, and he was even more afraid that she would overreact. The fact that she broke up with him immediately after she found out showed how radical and clumsy a way she would deal with the matter would be.
However, she was not only spoiled from having everything she wanted from childhood, but also doted on by him during those three years to the point that she didn't know the sufferings of the world. How could she understand his painstaking efforts to always protect her in an aura of brightness and happiness, and to isolate from the two of them all things that might make her unhappy.
She felt that he had been hiding such an important thing from her, making her the sinner who inflicted pain on gentleness. This made her very angry, and she didn't even want to listen to his explanation and directly convicted him of an unforgivable crime.
"Why did you insist on not telling Nan Xian the reason?"
"Mother Zhan, you know his character very well. If he knew, he would definitely say he would never agree to break up, and he would definitely go to Wenrou and ask her to talk things out with me face to face."
If he did that, it would mean that she and Zhan Nanxian had joined forces to push Wenrou to the end.
She knew that the breakup hurt his heart, and she was also very sad during that time. However, she thought that Wenrou was a girl and he was a boy, and it would be better for him to bear the consequences than to let Wenrou continue to be hurt. Subconsciously, she wanted to make up for Wenrou in some way through herself.
"Do you want to give Nan Xian to Wen Rou?"
Wen Nuan shook her head.
"No, I never thought of giving him to anyone. It's just that I couldn't bear the unexpectedness for a while. I couldn't understand why things turned out like that. Also, after knowing how painful my sister was, I couldn't do it - live happily alone."
With her gentle nature, if Zhan Nanxian's girlfriend was someone else, she would have fought with him openly for three hundred rounds. But because she was warm and because she loved her, no matter how unrestrained her only sister was in front of her for the past three years, she always gritted her teeth and endured it alone.
After knowing her sister's worries, how could she possibly continue to live her own heartless life
She naively thought that breaking up could compensate for the tenderness. She thought that even if Zhan Nanxian was in pain, things would pass. She thought that doing so would be good for everyone and that time would heal all sorrows. She had no experience in life and could never have expected that God would play the saddest joke in the world on her.
Although she never mentioned the reason for the breakup, Wenrou still sensitively caught the clues from her language and emotions. At that time, Wenrou was on vacation in Switzerland. Perhaps out of anxiety and worry, Wenrou asked her best friend in college, Zhu Linlu, to accompany her.
