After seeing off the guests, Ren Shang walked towards Su Xian. The two people who had been shouting at each other not long ago were now like friends who had met after a long separation. Ren Shang took the initiative to talk to Su Xian, "The old man insisted that I come to accompany the guests. I had no choice but to come. This outfit is really uncomfortable."
There was no surprise, no discomfort, and the tone was as casual as if they were old friends. In such a short period of time, what made this arrogant man change so much? Su Xian couldn't imagine, could this be the power of love
Su Xian smiled slightly: "Very handsome."
Ren Shang's face flashed with embarrassment, and he asked, "Are you here with a client as well?"
"with friends."
"Wen He?"
"Yes." Su Xian answered after a brief pause, feeling envious. As expected, there was nothing about Zuo Yueyao that Ren Shang didn't know.
"I heard that he is doing well now." Instead of the disgust and rejection that one might have imagined, Ren Shang's praise once again surprised people. "I didn't expect that he is also a second-generation rich man. Although we are both second-generation rich men, he is much more successful than me."
It was rarer than the sun rising from the west for such words to come out of Ren Shang's mouth. Unable to bear to see him belittle himself, she could not help but comfort him softly, "You are not bad either."
"Tsk." Ren Shang gave Su Xian a sidelong look and said, "Don't compare me with him. I, Master Ren, never bother to compare myself with anyone."
Good man, his expression changed faster than anything else. When did she ever say anything about comparison? It was obviously he who said it first! Su Xian couldn't help but want to laugh. This was the Ren Shang she knew. It made her feel much more comfortable.
Ren Shang pointed to the pavilion and said, "Would you like to sit for a while?"
Su Xian looked around. The scenery was beautiful, the temperature was just right, and the faint floral scent permeated his nose, accompanied by a gentle breeze that was neither too fast nor too slow. Everything seemed just right.
They sat face to face, with nothing on the table. Ren Shang took off his coat and threw it on the stone table. Su Xian felt distressed when he saw him unbuttoning his neck, shaking his head and letting out a long sigh: "I should have studied medicine with Yao Yao, so I wouldn't have to deal with these hypocrites. Don't be fooled by their well-dressed appearance. Who knows how dirty and hypocritical they are behind the scenes. They are all ruthless people."
Su Xian was well aware of this, but the mention of Zuo Yueyao in the topic made her eloquent speech turn into indecision in an instant. How should she continue with this topic so as to appear calm in front of Ren Shang
Ren Shang raised his eyes and glanced at her: "I never understood before, a man like him, he wants any woman he wants, but he has to be with you. I always thought he must be crazy to be so extreme. I even came to the conclusion that people like this genius must have serious flaws in some aspects, such as emotions."
"Now I finally understand that there is really no reason or logic to feelings. If you like someone, you like them. If you love someone, you love them."
This was the first time that Ren Shang had spoken so much to Su Xian since they met again, and it was all inspired by his own emotional ups and downs. He had always lived a free and easy life since he was a child. In his life, women were no different from cigarettes and alcohol. He never fell in love with any woman because he felt that feelings were very troublesome and once you were involved, you couldn't get rid of them.
God is like this, the more you don't want something, the more he will throw it to you. When he was in college, that little girl named Lu Xiran was thrown to him, he treated her as a fun toy, teasing and joking with her and had a lot of fun, but he didn't know that the "seeds of disaster" were planted at that time!
If his brothers knew that he, the eldest son of the Ren family, was chasing after an unknown girl all day long, and was treated coldly and despised by the other party, and avoided him like the plague, then where would he put his old face
It would be fine if he didn't think about it, but he got angry the moment he thought about it. Why couldn't that damn girl just stick to him like other women? The less she stuck to him, the more he wanted to hold her in his arms. Zuo Yueyao joked that he was a psychopath who couldn't get what he wanted.
In fact, he knew that he was in love.
So, this is love.
"When she was in college, she adopted a stray cat, but it died of illness later. She has never kept any small animals until now, although she really wants to, but she has a problem. Once bitten by a snake, she is afraid of ropes for ten years. This is true for cats and relationships."
Su Xian looked to one side and saw a bunch of flowers beside the pavilion. The flowers were in full bloom and vying for beauty. Although they were beautiful, the scattered withered flowers made people feel a little disappointed.
"On weekend afternoons, she likes to go to the stray animal shelter. She said that seeing those innocent and cute little animals can heal her mood. Recently, she often talks about wanting to adopt a stray cat or dog, but she is worried that she can't take good care of them, so she is very conflicted."
"She is afraid of heights. When she was in college, she was afraid to sleep on the top bunk. Recently, in order to overcome her fear of heights, she often runs to high places. I wonder if she should have someone by her side to give her some spiritual support in this situation."
Su Xian's gaze returned to Ren Shang: "Master Ren, I wonder if you are usually very busy?"
"Busy." Ren Shang smiled knowingly, "But so what? As long as I am willing, I can spare enough time no matter how busy I am." He gave him some advice, letting him know what to do. "Thank you."
Following the last apology, this was probably the second time Su Xian heard his heartfelt words.
"You're welcome." A couple walked by the pavilion, and the woman's eyes lingered on Ren Shang for a moment: "If you have really made up your mind, don't abandon him in this life. Otherwise, I will be the first one who will not let you go."
As if he had reached some kind of agreement, Ren Shang nodded solemnly, feeling somewhat happy: "For this little trumpet flower, I gave up the entire forest. For the rest of my life, I will guard this little trumpet flower."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them laughed in tacit understanding. They had never been so free of grudges before. They could actually sit down and talk so harmoniously. Things in this world are wonderful and unpredictable. This is probably the wonderful thing about life.
Ren Shang tapped the table with his fingers, and the topic suddenly returned to her: "You shouldn't hurt him like this." Putting herself in her shoes, she hoped that they would be well, so of course Ren Shang also sincerely hoped that good things could come in pairs.
Whether it was right or not, she was hurt. It was meaningless to bring it up again. Her smile gradually faded, and a figure of a person floated in her mind. Where was he now? What was he doing
Ren Shang fell into some kind of contemplation. What he had witnessed with his own eyes still filled him with emotion to this day.
"I can't remember exactly when it was, probably four years after you broke up. One day he suddenly asked me: Did that girl eat well when she was out alone? Was she still so stubborn? Were there a lot of people chasing after her? With someone by her side, she would no longer be afraid of the dark, right?"
The scenes of the past are still vivid in my mind. The man at the top of the cloud seemed like a different person that day, lost and depressed: "He asked me a lot of incoherent questions, but in fact, he was not really asking me, he was asking himself. At that time, he must have missed you very much. I thought it had been so long, he would have forgotten, not to mention that the women around him kept flocking to him, there was always one who could make her heart beat, but who knew..."
Regardless of the other person's increasingly furrowed brows, Ren Shang only paused for a moment before continuing, "Then the professor introduced him to someone, and out of courtesy, they met. When they first met, I went along, too. I have to say, that woman really looks a bit like you, which is probably the only reason why he took the initiative to sit down and chat with her."
"That woman fell in love with Yaoyao at first sight and started pursuing him fiercely after they met for the first time. This is unlike you." Ren Shang smiled: "He mentioned you again at that time, saying that if you had the courage, you would be very cute and interesting. He said it with a smile at the time, but I know how upset he was."
"Since that day, he never mentioned you in front of me again, but not mentioning you doesn't mean he forgot about you."
"He also wanted to try to get along with that girl, but not long after, he decisively cut off contact with her. He told me that he couldn't hold the girl's hand, couldn't hold the girl in his arms, and couldn't even kiss her lips when she offered them to him."
"At that time, I finally knew that what he said about forgetting and not caring was all bullshit. There must be a reason why a hot-blooded man has remained chaste for so many years. He was just waiting for someone, someone who had made him fall in love for the first time. He was waiting for her to appear, waiting for her to get close to him. Or maybe, he was waiting for the day when he could let go completely."
Ren Shang's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Su Xian's heart into pieces and bleeding. She had been trying to let go and forget, but it turned out that they were doing the same thing.
She never knew that Zuo Yueyao had such a sentimental side. She suddenly felt ashamed of her own persistence and deep love for him.
Has she ever treated Zuo Yueyao to this extent
"Guess who he was for instead of studying abroad? And who was he for when he gave up the most prestigious hospital in South City and came to North City? Because of that call of "Mom and Dad", he found a very good family to adopt the little girl named Lai Yun, and helped her find the best doctor for treatment, so that she is safe and sound until now, and..."
"Did you just say Laiyun?" If they didn't have the same name, how much did Zuo Yueyao have that she didn't know
"Don't tell me you forgot." Thinking of the conflict when they first met, Ren Shang was still frightened: "I have an aunt living abroad, and she has always wanted to adopt a girl in China. When Yaoyao mentioned this to me, I immediately thought of this aunt, so I told her about Laiyun's situation. I was worried that she would disagree, but she didn't care about the girl's condition at all. She quickly flew back to China, handled the formalities, and took the child abroad. Yaoyao contacted He Xinwan, and most of the time they were discussing Laiyun's condition. Fortunately, the medical level abroad is not bad. This child is lucky and has a long life. After two or three near-death experiences, he can finally live like a normal person."
