Wei An felt a little guilty when he saw his eyes. He felt as if he had really become a conscienceless person. He couldn't help but refute: "Who said that? I knew you were going to enter the palace, so I didn't send anyone to look for you at the Phoenix Terrace..."
Although it was said very tactfully, for Wei An, this was already a rare way to express his longing. Shen Chen felt a little proud and looked at her and said, "Did Lin San tell you everything?"
Wei An nodded and looked at him. Seeing that he was not in a hurry, he knew that he must have already made arrangements, so he repeated everything that Lin Sanshao said to him: "Don't you already know it? Everything he told us was what you wanted him to say. Why do you have to ask again?"
Today, she was rarely seen wearing a cherry pink cross-collared top, with a frosty white lace skirt underneath. She was not wearing any makeup, but she looked even more pure, like a lotus in clear water. Shen Chen looked at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he put his hand on her face. Then he walked up to her, twisted her nose, and said angrily, "You are just guarding against that fox Third Young Master Lin, who might do something bad while I'm away. What if my wife gets kidnapped?"
This person is really getting more and more indecent! Wei An snorted angrily and looked at him, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you talking about?"
Shen Chen understood her temper, touched his nose awkwardly, and tried to save her: "It's because our An Ansheng is too good. Anyone who sees her will like her. I'm just taking precautions!"
Wei An knew he was joking, and couldn't help but slap his naughty hand away with both anger and amusement: "You should be more tactful when speaking, otherwise how will I deal with it if Third Master Lin hears it? Should I still talk to Third Master Lin in the future? If you say so, from now on, every time I see him, I will be suspected of seducing him."
Shen Chen said seriously, "It's better to stay away from him."
Wei An was a little confused. He tilted his head and glanced at Shen Chen. Seeing that he was not joking, he looked up at him in surprise and said nothing.
In her opinion, she and Young Master Lin were both upright and had always been good allies, and later on they became friends. Even Shen Chen himself was aware of this.
If she really wanted to have something with Young Master Lin, she would have agreed to Concubine Lin's proposal long ago. How could what happened later have happened
Shen Chen had never been a petty person, and he had never made any comments on the relationship between her and Young Master Lin. Why was he saying such things for no reason now
He didn't believe that Shen Chen was the kind of man who was petty and had no tolerance at all.
Shen Chen touched her head and couldn't help but sighed: "Before I came back, someone gave me something in order to stop me."
This was completely irrelevant, but Wei An understood it and asked immediately, "Is it something related to me and Young Master Lin?"
Shen Chen's expression became a little complicated, and he nodded after a while: "Yes, this thing is nothing in my hands, I absolutely trust the character of both of you, but..."
But if it fell into the hands of others, it would be a disaster. Wei An couldn't help but straighten up and stared at him: "What is it?"
She asked herself that she was very concerned about the boundaries between men and women. Even if it was the Third Young Master Lin, they had met more often in front of the elders. Not to mention since they got engaged, they had hardly even met. If it wasn't because they were too close that caused these suspicions, then what else could it be? Something? She had barely seen the Third Young Master Lin, so what else could be related to her and the Third Young Master that was worth suspecting
If it really was something around her, such as a handkerchief, then it would be a big deal. I'm afraid that something might have happened to the people who served her closely.
Shen Chen patted her back calmly and said calmly, "It's a letter from Mr. Lin."
A letter?!
Wei An didn't understand. She turned to look at Shen Chen and asked, "What's the letter?"
Shen Chen did not ask Wei An to worry, so he sighed and told her: "It is a letter of affection written to you by Mr. Lin..."
"How is this possible?!" Wei An's expression changed immediately: "I have never received anything like this!"
"I know." Shen Chen paused and patted her on the back. "I have never doubted you. Although this letter was indeed written by Young Master Lin, I have already asked. This letter was written before we got engaged. Didn't he ask Concubine Lin Shu to propose marriage at that time? It was for you, but it was never sent out. I don't know how it fell into the hands of others and became a handle for others to deal with him and you."
Seeing Wei An calm down after being surprised, Shen Chen whispered, "I trust you, but there are many people in this world who believe everything they hear and enjoy watching the fun... Since those people can think of this, it means that the things that happened between you two are regarded as bargaining chips that can be used by them. Although you have a clear conscience and I absolutely trust you, but..."
But there are always more villains in this world.
Wei An nodded expressionlessly: "I understand."
He was telling the truth. The rules of this world are always more stringent for women. Just like now, if there was only a love letter from Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin would become a model of infatuation in the eyes of others, and she would definitely be included in the list of vixens who seduce men.
Her mood became quite low, Shen Chen saw it and felt sad. He touched her head and held her in his arms: "I am sorry for making you feel wronged."
She didn't feel wronged. After all, Shen Chen had never doubted her. But she couldn't help feeling angry and feeling wronged.
These people used her reputation to do bad things to her, and suddenly pushed her into a dilemma. Even if she and Lin Sanshao really have nothing in the future, it would be best if they never see each other again.
She closed her eyes, and finally just nodded quietly and said, "I understand."
Now that she hasn't even gotten married yet, she's already faced with so many thorns. She doesn't know how she's going to survive in the future. Wei An suddenly felt overwhelmed and tired, but when she saw Shen Chen's eyes, the tiredness in her heart disappeared in an instant - because she saw only heartache and reluctance in Shen Chen's eyes.
No matter what, she probably won't find another person who will look at her like this, who will do everything in his power to protect her safety and whom she happens to like. (To be continued)
