CHAPTER 232: CHAPTER 231: YOU LOVE ME, YET YOU HURT HER

"He treats me like a sister." Wen Nuan explained once more, involuntarily recalling Leng Ye’s actions in her mind. He was always polite and courteously caring towards her, much like an older brother. But towards Leng Yan...

Wen Nuan admitted that Leng Ye would often casually mention some things she herself didn’t like to hear, so her explanation lacked confidence.

"No way!"

Leng Yan’s voice was somewhat elevated, his brows tightly knitted.

Sister...

Leng Ye could really say such a thing, and only someone as innocent as Wen Nuan couldn’t see through his intentions.

"Leng Yan, don’t be so overbearing." Wen Nuan initially lacked confidence, but was now irked by his overly domineering words: "Because you and big brother have a bad relationship, I must also appear hostile, is that it?"

"He has ulterior motives towards you!" Leng Yan pinched the bridge of his nose, unable to hold back a low roar: "Do you understand now? If you love me, don’t get too close to him."

He really didn’t want to say it out loud since, after all, that was his brother, bound by blood ties. However, she was his woman, and he would not allow anyone to take her away under the guise of care.

If she loved him...

Wen Nuan lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, suddenly wanting to laugh.

How could she not love him? If she didn’t love him, she wouldn’t be here heartbroken.

"Then what about Ji Wei, does she have ulterior motives towards you?"

Wen Nuan took a breath, her voice suppressed and calm: "You say big brother has ulterior motives towards me, but if I say Ji Wei is still in love with you and scheming to steal you away, would you ignore her for the sake of loving me?"

After speaking, she clutched the sheets tightly, seemingly afraid of his answer.

Would he?

Ji Wei still loves him, he couldn’t possibly feel nothing. Yet, every time Ji Wei gets into trouble, he rushes to the front.

But unfortunately, she couldn’t blame him. Sometimes, she also wanted to be like other women and stop at nothing to break off her husband’s relationship with anyone who threatens their happiness. She would even confront them and scold them.

But she couldn’t. Leng Yan felt indebted to Ji Wei, and his reasons were good and sufficient. He was atoning for his guilt. Therefore, she had no grounds to blame him.

But please, Leng Yan. She wants to take you away from me, she even pretended she couldn’t swim just to wait for you to save her and give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation...

Leng Yan remained silent...

Ji Wei still loves him, he could sense it.

"Nuannuan..."

He bit his lip, softly calling her name.

Wen Nuan didn’t reply, tears trickling down her cheeks, her nose tingling, she wanted to have a good cry.

Time stood still for a whole two minutes.

"Can’t you ignore her?" Sniffing, she asked, a slight bitter smile on her lips.

She really was foolish. How could she ask such a childish question, which was simply impossible, alright?

She even felt bad about herself, was she trying to stop him from atoning?

Leng Yan gripped the phone tightly, gently persuading: "Nuannuan, don’t overthink it. I love you..."

"But you care for her!" Wen Nuan wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, her tone wistful: "She still holds a significant place in your heart, I know. I also hate the current me, I don’t want to dwell on this issue. But whenever I think there will be many more similar things in the future, I feel lost."
