Sheng Tingwang did not deny it.
Xu Chuyin accompanied him throughout his adolescence.
He was dependent on her.
But that kind of dependence isn't the kind of affection between a man and a woman.
"Shuyi, Xu Chuyin is irreplaceable to me. I'm willing to take care of her, willing to risk my life for her, but this isn't love, do you understand?"
Wen Shuyi didn't quite understand either.
If Xu Chuyin is that important to him.
Why did he send people abroad?
"Perhaps you've confused familial love with romantic love. You do love her, otherwise you wouldn't say she's irreplaceable. It's just that this confusion in your feelings has made you lose your ability to judge."
Wen Shu also felt a pang of sadness.
Xu Chuyin is irreplaceable.
What about her?
Did he see himself as a substitute?
Then, disguise it as love, making her unable to tell the difference?
Sheng Ting laughed idly.
He took her small hand in his palm. "Although I haven't had much formal education, I can still distinguish between family and love. Wen Shuyi, I love you. My relationship with you is love, not with her."
Wen Shuyi looked up at him.
Sheng Tingwang has been really fond of confessing his feelings lately.
They're always talking about love.
He had never expressed his love verbally before.
Does he believe that if you tell a lie enough, it will become the truth?
"Since she is irreplaceable, then perhaps I should..." Wen Shuyi hadn't finished speaking.
Sheng Tingwang's phone rang.
He glanced at it, and his brow furrowed visibly.
"Feed? What? How is the person? I understand."
It seems like something serious was said on the phone.
Wen Shu also noticed a clear change in Sheng Tingwang's expression.
She was torn, wondering whether she should ask him what had happened.
Almost at the same time.
Sheng Tingwang blurted out, "Xu Chuyin has attempted suicide three times abroad, each time more serious than the last. The attending physician said she has mental problems, and I need..."
"I understand." He needs to go abroad to visit them.
So, the question she didn't finish asking just now, "If I had to choose between Xu Chuyin and me, would you still choose Xu Chuyin?"
The answer became concrete at this moment.
No matter how many outrageous and incomprehensible things Xu Chuyin has done.
Sheng Tingwang would still walk to her side as always.
Just as he himself said.
For him, Xu Chuyin is irreplaceable.
Including Wen Shuyi.
Sheng Tingwang explained, "This time, I promise I'll return to China immediately after ensuring her safety. Don't overthink it, okay?"
"It doesn't matter, Sheng Tingwang. You can do what you want. Even if you don't come back for three years, I can accept it. One three-year period, two three-year periods, and three three-year periods are all the same to me."
His credibility had already crumbled in her heart.
This time, however, she was calmer.
"It's not what you think." He held her small hand tightly. "Uncle Xu entrusted his daughter to me before he died. I promised him I would take good care of Xu Chuyin. Actually, she's been doing quite well abroad these past few years. I don't know why lately... Shuyi, I really don't have any feelings for her..."
"Sheng Tingwang." Wen Shuyi smiled gently, without any emotion. "You don't need to explain to me. You have Xu Chuyin, and I have Zhou Hezheng who is pursuing me. We're even."
Wen Shuyi didn't want to get agitated.
I don't want to talk about these random things.
But she loses her composure whenever she hears the name Xu Chuyin.
She didn't want to talk about this anymore.
What kind of existence is Xu Chuyin to Sheng Tingwang?
She already knew it very well.
Whether it's irreplaceable or dependent, to put it bluntly, it means deep affection and unwavering commitment.
That's it.
Just as she was about to rekindle her illusions about him, the bubble burst.
"I'm done eating, let's go home." Wen Shuyi stood up.
Sheng Tingwang did not move.
He tilted his chin slightly, looking at her with pain, and said, "Shuyi, don't you trust me at all?"
"Am I obligated to trust you?" Wen Shuyi didn't want to laugh, but these words were truly hilarious. "Or have you done something that would make me trust you completely? Sheng Tingwang, isn't our relationship more about deception than anything else?"
She's so stupid.
Surprisingly, a bouquet of flowers made them feel like things were going to work out between them.
Xu Chuyin probably didn't just start acting like this today.
Unbeknownst to her, Sheng Tingwang had actually been keeping an eye on the situation.
For example.
He went abroad on a business trip to find a doctor for Qiao Shen.
Whether to find a doctor for Qiao Shen or to see Xu Chuyin, who knows?
She felt so sorry for him.
He doesn't speak.
She didn't want to stand up for him.
She took a deep breath. "Thank you for the French meal. I'll head back now."
"Shuyi, if I really had any other feelings for her, we've known each other since we were sixteen, would we have waited until now? Can't you use your brain and think about it?"
Wen Shu was also taken aback.
Is he blaming her?
She smiled, turned around, and strode out.
Sheng Tingwang quickly chased after her again and stopped her. "Alright, if you really don't trust me, you can come with me."
"I still have a job, and I have to pick up my son on weekends. Maybe I'll even have a deeply memorable romance. I'm really not interested in other people's love stories. Goodbye."
Wen Shuyi really couldn't laugh.
Polite yet distant, I bypassed him.
She turned and left, and he reached out to grab her, but grasped only air.
When love and commitment clash.
Is it really necessary for him to keep his promise?
……
Wen Shu also cried uncontrollably in the taxi.
She kept saying she wanted to go to the riverbank.
The taxi driver was so frightened that he drove around Huacheng Avenue in circles.
"Life is never smooth sailing. Everyone encounters setbacks. Don't be discouraged. Think of your family, your parents, and your children."
The taxi driver looked in the rearview mirror at the woman whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
He's not good at giving advice.
But attempting suicide is absolutely out of the question.
"It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. As long as you're alive, there's always a way to solve problems. We can't act impulsively and let problems solve us, right?"
Wen Shu also remained silent.
But the tears didn't stop.
Sheng Tingwang called, but she didn't answer and immediately blocked and deleted him.
She vowed never to bother him again.
"Sir, I'm not trying to kill myself. I just want to go to the riverbank to calm down." Afraid the taxi driver wouldn't believe her, she added, "I have a son, he's only four years old. I can't bear to leave him behind. Besides, it's not worth killing myself for a man."
The taxi driver finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, you're right. If you die for something else, people might pity you, but if you die for a man, you'll only be scorned."
You're right.
After dropping Wen Shuyi off at the riverbank, the taxi driver said some comforting words to her before leaving, still feeling uneasy.
Wen Shuyi stood on the bridge over the river, leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance.
A gentle breeze rustles through the lights of countless homes.
In this life, there is more than just love.
Perhaps Sheng Tingwang carries too many responsibilities, but that is not a reason for her to indulge him unconditionally or even without any bottom line.
She's not really that great.
He had the right to choose that kind of life.
She also has the right to choose to sever all ties with him.
The phone rang once.
This is information that Sheng Ting spread recklessly.
"Why didn't you go home? Where did you go?"
Wen Shu did not reply.
I blocked him on WeChat too.
She just stared blankly at the river.
Looking back on the path I've walked over the years.
Is Sheng Tingwang the only option?
of course not.
So what else is there for her to be sad about?
It's simply that we can't give Duoduo a biological father.
But Duoduo doesn't like her biological father either.
There's nothing to regret anymore.
