Chapter 661 - 648
"Ah Si!"
But Helian Shuang already felt her soul was about to take flight upon hearing it!
She instinctively grabbed Helian Si’s sleeve, "Why would you say you want to marry her? Could it be that she seduced you? Did something that makes you responsible for her? If that’s the case, then she’s just shameless!"
Helian Si’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, why was his sister speaking like this? The woman he liked was being maliciously slandered, of course, he was upset.
Yet Helian Shuang seemed obsessed, "It must be that way! She did it on purpose! She deliberately seduced you!"
"Sister!" Helian Si couldn’t hold back anymore, shouting sharply to cut her off, "Please don’t talk about her like that! She’s the woman I like."
"..." Helian Shuang suddenly woke up, staring at Helian Si in astonishment.
In front of her, it seemed like an illusion appeared...
As if the person saying these words was Lu Jinxuan from five years ago!
Helian Shuang’s heart pounded, the fear had finally arrived! Whether as Lu Jinxuan five years ago, or as Helian Si five years later, whenever it came to Yu Sangwan, his attitude was the same!
Helian Shuang was frightened, grabbing Helian Si’s arm, "Ah Si, don’t do this! There’s no way between you and her! How could you like her? Listen to your sister, you can like any woman in this world except her!"
Again... the same tone as Fu Xianlin?
Why? What is the reason?
Helian Si lowered his gaze, still speaking in a calm and steady manner. "Give me a reason, a reason that can convince me."
"She..." Helian Shuang knew she couldn’t avoid it, she had to speak.
Actually, for so many years, she had always avoided mentioning the name ’Lu Jinxuan’, knowing that this person was actually Helian Si himself! A person who hears too much about themselves, it’s hard to ensure their personality won’t return!
So, Helian Si knew very little about his nephew ’Lu Jinxuan.’
Helian Shuang swallowed her saliva, facing Helian Si’s aggressive gaze, she looked down, "Yu Sangwan’s husband, is Lu Jinxuan..."
"..." Helian Si was stunned, not speaking for a while.
"Lu Jinxuan?" Helian Si gathered his thoughts, even thinking he heard wrong or misunderstood, "The Lu Jinxuan you are talking about, is it the one I know? My... nephew? Your... son?"
Helian Shuang’s heart and hands were cold, she nodded harshly, "Yes, Yu Sangwan’s husband is named Lu Jinxuan, her son is named Lu Qingming, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, she is your nephew’s wife, we are a family!"
Silence, a deathly silence.
Helian Si curled his lips in a reluctant smile full of mockery, so this is the reason they can’t be together!
Helian Si only found it too ridiculous.
At his age, he had never been with a woman... Who could have thought that the first woman to move his heart would turn out to be his nephew’s wife?
"Ah Si." Helian Shuang grabbed him, afraid he would do something outrageous, "Don’t be foolish... there are many women in the world, Yu Sangwan is not that great, don’t do anything foolish over a woman!"
Helian Si lowered his gaze, speaking lightly, "I understand."
That’s all he could say!
Otherwise, even though his nephew was gone, the nephew’s wife always remained the nephew’s wife!
Helian Shuang was still not at ease, "Ah Si, can your sister trust you? You..."
"Enough." Although Helian Si agreed, his mood was clearly bad, unwilling to continue the topic, "I still have things to do, I’m leaving now."
With that, he turned and walked outside the front door.
"Ah Si!" Helian Shuang hurriedly called after him, "How can you just leave? Sister had the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes, stay for dinner."
"No need." Helian Si shook his head, frowning, rejecting without hesitation. "Sister, you eat more yourself."
Watching Helian Si’s resolute back, Helian Shuang seemed to lose her soul...
For so many years, she watched Lu Jinxuan turn into Helian Si, reaching the pinnacle of power, and she achieved all her goals! Her son became the most outstanding person, but the distance between her and him grew wider.
Obviously her son, yet he could only call her ’sister’, and not to mention spending time together, Helian Si rarely even shared a meal with her.
Helian Shuang muttered to herself, "Who can tell me, was I right or wrong?"
...
The leg injury improved, and Yu Sangwan canceled her leave, returning to work.
Early in the morning, she was waiting at the office door, when Helian Si, accompanied by Ou Guanshen, walked in.
"President." Yu Sangwan hurried forward, ready to take his suit jacket.
Helian Si unbuttoned his coat, glancing down at her.
Yu Sangwan slightly bowed her head, her newly cut neck-length short hair slightly bending at the ends, brushing against the snow-white skin on her neck, making her look a bit charming and unruly. But in her demure appearance, there was a clear gentleness.
"..."
Helian Si’s throat tickled, with an urge to hold her tightly! To push her hard against the wall, to embed her into his bones!
But... he couldn’t do it.
Yu Sangwan took his suit jacket, preparing to hang it in the lounge, and asked incidentally, "What would you like to drink this morning?"
Helian Si, who had hardly slept all night, replied lightly, "Coffee."
"Yes."
Watching her turn away, her waist slender, her legs straight and long under the professional short skirt... her whole body was just captivating!
"You..." Helian Si spoke abruptly.
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan turned her head back warmly, looking at him in confusion, "What’s the matter, sir?"
Helian Si looked at her, his thin lips slightly parted.
He wanted to ask if there was any special reason she never told him she was his nephew’s wife. Was it perhaps because she also had some special feelings for him? For instance, even knowing their relationship, she still liked him a bit?
Seeing him silent, Yu Sangwan asked again, "President?"
Helian Si withdrew his thoughts, "Nothing, you may go ahead!"
"... Yes."
In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to ask.
Helian Si slumped dejectedly into his chair, agitatedly tugging at his tie. Forget it? Since she’s a nephew’s wife, what more can be hoped for? He could disregard her being a widow, as a widow remarrying doesn’t harm anyone, it’s reasonable and lawful.
But, how come... she’s a nephew’s wife!
"President."
Ou Guanshen came in, bringing the day’s schedule.
Helian Si picked himself up and started working.
The whole day, he would be running outside, flying to several cities. Since Yu Sangwan had returned to work, she had to follow the whole time.
Lunch wasn’t too fancy, it was shared among everyone.
Helian Si, Ou Guanshen, Yu Sangwan, and others sat together, with the rest divided into several tables.
Helian Si, with a somber face, had no appetite, when his phone rang. Ou Guanshen answered and handed it over, "President, it’s Missy."
Upon hearing this, Helian Si’s expression turned grimmer, and his brows furrowed tighter. Taking the call, his right hand helplessly rubbed his brow, "Sister..."
"Ah Si!" Helian Shuang’s voice over the phone was anxious, "Can you find some time soon? I told you about the Qin family’s daughter... Qin Mengshu, please consider it? Qin Mengshu is well-bred, a genuinely nice person."
Such words, Helian Si didn’t know how many times he had heard Helian Shuang say.
But, he never took them seriously.
He had seen Qin Mengshu, probably more than once or twice. But the impression was really faint. If he had to describe her, Qin Mengshu seemed like a textbook lady of noble birth... entirely cultivated according to the example of traditional etiquette.
Not that she’s bad, but she always seemed plain, uninteresting.
Seeing his silence, Helian Shuang didn’t relent, "Ah Si, feelings develop through spending time together... By interacting with Qin Mengshu, you’ll find her goodness. Trust your sister, Qin Mengshu is very suitable for you."
