Chapter 495: Clingy as a Leech (Part 5)
Sheng Jianan raised an eyebrow: "I like you, and you like me, so why let you go?"
"I..."
Without giving Su Anle a chance to speak, Sheng Jianan continued, "Or are you going to tell me you don’t like me anymore?"
"I..."
Sheng Jianan’s face showed a touch of calmness, then he interrupted her, saying, "Anle, lying in front of Xiao Yi is not good."
Su Anle conceded, she indeed couldn’t bring herself to admit out loud that she didn’t love Sheng Jianan.
Biting her lip, Su Anle forced herself to remain calm, "Does it matter if we like each other? We can’t be together anymore."
"Of course it matters, we must be together."
Sheng Jianan restrained his previous demeanor, becoming serious and earnest. Su Anle looked at him, her heart skipped a beat. The man’s brows slightly furrowed, his eyes appeared especially deep, radiating a serious light, as if the world was under his control.
In a daze, Su Anle felt a warm large hand holding hers, then pressing it to the man’s chest. The place where her palm touched was beating, that was Sheng Jianan’s heart.
"Do you feel it? It’s beating for you."
In the room, it seemed as if all sounds disappeared, the noise of the air conditioner, the sound of coffee boiling in the coffee machine, and some unspeakable subtle sounds, at this moment all seemed to vanish.
All she could hear was the sound of that beat in her palm.
Su Anle knew what she was doing now, and she also knew she had absolutely no resistance to the person in front of her. It was precisely because she knew this that she kept avoiding him, avoiding him, always wanting to leave.
As long as she left, as long as this person was no longer in her life, her life could return to normal, just like in France, immersing in the ocean of translation, accompanying Su Weiyi, living peacefully.
But now...?
Knowing full well that there was a quagmire ahead of her, going forward would mean getting stuck in it, then letting the muddy slurry slowly engulf her body, until it went over her head, and then she would suffocate, and then she would die.
But Su Anle found that she simply couldn’t pull away.
After a long time, she finally seemed to find her voice and spoke: "Then, what about Shen Yao?"
Sheng Jianan frowned: "What’s she got to do with it?"
"Aren’t you..."
Su Anle hadn’t finished speaking when the sound of a card swiping at the door was heard, like a bucket of cold water poured over her head. Su Anle immediately withdrew her hand and stood up, moving three meters away from Sheng Jianan in an instant.
Shen Jiyan came in with a swipe of his card, seeing the two of them without the slightest surprise on his face.
He nodded at Sheng Jianan as a greeting, but Sheng Jianan still ignored him, his gaze fixed intently on Su Anle.
Shen Jiyan walked over to Su Anle: "Where’s Xiao Yi?"
"Already asleep."
Shen Jiyan nodded, then looked at Sheng Jianan: "Jianan, isn’t it late? Not going back yet?"
This was clearly a dismissal, these days, the reason why Sheng Jianan left automatically when Shen Jiyan showed up was obviously not to create opportunities for them. He just didn’t want to see them together.
Just like now, they were merely standing side by side, yet he found it overwhelmingly annoying.
He really wanted to grab that man and throw a punch.
But Sheng Jianan also understood, now was not the time for a brawl, he didn’t want to cause certain people to be displeased.
As long as her heart was still with him, Shen Jiyan? He was nothing to worry about.
