After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Sheng Yao clenched her fingers, lowered her head, and did not dare to look at Shen Boyan.

At the same time, a deep sense of loss surged in her heart.

She really wanted to ask Uncle Shen, is Qiao Xing always more important in his heart?
But in the end, Sheng Yao still didn't ask anything. She whispered: "I'm sorry, I won't do this again in the future. This is the last time..."

Shen Boyan looked at her lost appearance and asked, "Are you cursing me in your heart?"

Sheng Yao sniffed and said, "No."

How could she dare to scold him? It was his own choice. She was just wishful thinking, but she deserved it.

"Really?" Shen Boyan asked again.

Sheng Yao still didn't look up, "No."

Shen Boyan was silent for a moment. "I'm not telling you this to blame you, but Qiao Xing's current situation is special. I know you definitely don't want her to get into trouble, but neither you nor I can guarantee this kind of thing. What if something really goes wrong? Do you think you can take responsibility?"

This was the first time that Shen Boyan had spoken so much to Sheng Yao in all the time she had known him.

But these words were neither a confession nor a reflection on Sheng Yao's relationship, and they didn't even have anything to do with Sheng Yao.

Every word and sentence he spoke was filled with concern and care for another woman.

Sheng Yao's chest felt like it was blocked by something, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a word.

Shen Boyan added, "You are no longer a child. You can't always rely on others to remind you of certain things. You need to be able to judge right from wrong and can't always do whatever you want."

Sheng Yao finally couldn't hold it in anymore, and tears fell on the back of her hand.

What? She said she knew she was wrong, but he kept talking.

Is it true that in his heart, Qiao Xing is above everything else, and the life and death of others are not important to him at all?

When Sheng Yao was feeling aggrieved, Shen Boyan handed her a tissue, but Sheng Yao was angry and refused to take it.

Shen Boyan sighed helplessly and said, "If you really need me for something, you can just call me and don't bother anyone else."

After he said that, Sheng Yao felt even more aggrieved. "When I call you, you always say you're busy and don't have time. Anyway, whenever I call you, you never have time..."

Shen Boyan said, "I have been really busy these past two days. My father is going to have surgery tomorrow, and I can't leave for many things."

Sheng Yao said angrily in her heart that not being able to leave was just an excuse.

If he really didn't have time, then why did he come when she said Qiao Xing was there too? When she called him normally, he either said he was busy or simply ignored the call.

Of course, Sheng Yao only dared to mutter this in her heart.

Although she is willful, she is not stupid enough to act unreasonably.

No matter what, Shen Boyan was not her boyfriend after all. No matter how upset she felt, she did not have the confidence to question him.

But despite this, Sheng Yao still said, "I understand, I won't bother you anymore..."

"When you have time later, just call me directly."

Sheng Yao hadn't finished her words when she heard this. Sheng Yao was stunned for a moment, then raised her head, "What did you say?"

"Forget it if you didn't hear it." Shen Boyan got up and left.

Sheng Yao quickly caught up and asked her, "Is what you just said true? Will you come to see me no matter when I call you?"

"No, you heard it wrong." "I didn't hear it wrong, that's what you just said!"

"Then you still ask?"

Sheng Yao was so happy that she couldn't express it in words. Shen Boyan's words meant that he would no longer keep her at a distance.

She was afraid that Shen Boyan would not admit what she said, so she repeatedly confirmed with him, "You are not allowed to lie to me, I remember everything you said just now! You must not go back on your word!"

Shen Boyan hummed, then he suddenly thought of something, pursed his lips, stopped and asked Sheng Yao seriously, "Do you really want to be with me?"

Sheng Yao was surprised that Shen Boyan would suddenly ask her such a question. She was stunned for a moment, and then said without any hesitation, "Of course, isn't it obvious enough?"

"If you really think it through, you have to be prepared. Being with me will be boring. Maybe none of what you want will happen to me."

Sheng Yao was a little excited, "You mean we..."

Shen Boyan mercilessly broke Sheng Yao's beautiful fantasy, "It's not what you think."

Sheng Yao suddenly felt lost, "What is that like?"

"I'm just telling you the downsides of being with me. If you really think it through, then we can give it a try."

Sheng Yao was excited again.

But Shen Boyan quickly said, "When I say try, I mean try to get to know each other better and see if the other person is suitable to be a partner."

"Is that so?" Sheng Yao knew that Shen Boyan would not agree to her so easily, but this was already very good for Sheng Yao. She was determined to win and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely make you feel that I am the most suitable person for you in the world! I will also be a very good girlfriend!"

Shen Boyan said, "I hope so."

Shen Boyan didn’t know whether Sheng Yao was the most suitable person for him, but no matter whether she was or not, Shen Boyan didn’t care. Since Sheng Yao liked him and everyone thought that he shouldn’t let down such a girl.

Then he should take up the responsibility that he should bear.

Anyway, when it comes to love, it doesn’t matter who you’re with.

After leaving the restaurant, Qiao Xing did not go directly back to the Qin family, but told the driver the name of a hotel.

At the same time, Qin Fei also received a call.

"Ms. Qin, the person you want to follow went to a hotel, but she was alone. Are you sure you want to follow?"

"Of course you have to follow her. You have to know who she met at the hotel, whether it was a man or a woman, and you have to take pictures!"

"Okay, I see."

After Qin Fei hung up the phone, a calculating look flashed across her eyes.

She had taken so many photos of Qiao Xing and that man and sent them to Qin Ce, but there was no response from Qin Ce.

Qin Fei originally thought that Qin Ce didn't care about this matter at all, but in the past two days, the atmosphere between Qin Ce and Qiao Xing was obviously wrong.

So Qin Fei was 100% sure that Qin Ce and Qiao Xing must have had a fight.

Maybe the two of them quarreled because of those photos.

So Qin Fei didn't plan to give up just like that. As long as she had evidence of Qiao Xing's cheating, not to mention Qiao Xing, even Qin Ce would not be qualified to stay in the Qin family any longer. (End of this chapter)
