Chapter 487: Starting Over Again (7)
Perhaps sensing Su Weiyi’s fear of Sheng Jianan, Su Anle held her and walked to Mrs. Zhang: "Mrs. Zhang, could you please take Xiao Yi outside? Thank you."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Sheng Jianan. After all, she was a woman, and the brilliance of motherly love was inherent. No matter what issues existed between adults, children were always innocent.
Mrs. Zhang didn’t wait for Sheng Jianan’s instruction, nodded, and hurriedly took over: "Alright."
Su Weiyi’s big watery eyes looked at Su Anle, seemingly a bit scared.
"Xiao Yi, be good, go out with granny, okay?"
Su Weiyi nodded sensibly, and for a moment, the large living room had only the three of them left.
Sheng Jianan was full of hostility, but Shen Jiyan acted like nothing happened. Moreover, he added oil to the fire, saying, "Jianan, you kept my girlfriend here overnight and didn’t let her go. Isn’t that inappropriate?"
Su Anle was stunned, never expecting Shen Jiyan to say such a thing. Back then, when she pleaded for Shen Jiyan to take her away, it was an act of desperation. Later, when they reached France, she understood why Shen Jiyan treated her well. They gradually became friends; he was her benefactor, a friend. But when did she become his girlfriend?
Sheng Jianan’s anger seemed to explode at that moment. Without thinking, he threw a punch at Shen Jiyan. Shen Jiyan quickly dodged it to the side, but Sheng Jianan’s punch wasn’t easy to dodge entirely and still grazed his elbow, causing him to stagger.
Su Anle’s brows furrowed instantly, and words escaped her mouth: "Sheng Jianan, what are you doing?"
The punch Sheng Jianan wanted to throw stopped abruptly, and he turned to look at her, a deep hurt flashing in his dark eyes: "I hit him, and you..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Jiyan’s punch had already swung over. Sheng Jianan’s full attention was on Su Anle, having no mind to guard against Shen Jiyan, couldn’t dodge this punch.
Shen Jiyan apparently used all his strength, forcing Sheng Jianan to retreat several steps. Su Anle immediately stepped forward and held him: "Ji Yan, don’t..."
Shen Jiyan glanced down at the person holding his arm and then sneered at Sheng Jianan: "This punch is for you."
After saying that, Shen Jiyan pulled Su Anle and walked out. Su Anle couldn’t help but glance back. Sheng Jianan stood motionless as if dumbstruck by the punch.
Outside the yard, Shen Jiyan finally released her, took Su Weiyi from Mrs. Zhang’s hands, and pulled her further away.
"Young Madam..."
Mrs. Zhang called out to her, but Su Anle had already been stuffed into the car by Shen Jiyan. The next second, the car sped away.
It wasn’t until the car disappeared at the community gate that Sheng Jianan inside the house seemed to awaken from a dream.
He reached out to touch his bruised mouth corner, feeling some pain, but it couldn’t compare to the pain in his heart. He set aside his pride, his dignity, begged repeatedly, but what was the result?
Sheng Jianan slowly walked upstairs, entered the bedroom, buried his head in the pillow, his heart knotted. The scene of the happy family of three was imprinted in his mind.
Meanwhile, outside, Shen Jiyan drove the car. Su Anle glanced at him, wanting to say something but hesitated.
Shen Jiyan, however, chuckled lightly and said, "Heartache?"
"What?"
"He hits me, you get angry because we are friends. I hit him, you feel heartache because you still love him."
