Jiang Haoxuan had been watching Sheng Anâning by the side. When he saw her crying, his heart felt as if it had been punched hard by someone.
What was his position in her heart?
It seemed that when Jiang Xuecheng appeared, he, who had been accompanying her, became air.
He knew Sheng Anâning cared about his own brother but till now, he was still stubborn. As long as he saw her crying face, he couldnât stop feeling heartache for her.
Jiang Haoxuan laughed at himself. He was looking for his own trouble.
How much longer could he persist?
On the other hand, Sheng Anâning, who only had Jiang Xuecheng in her mind, did not notice anything wrong with Jiang Haoxuan.
She stared at Jiang Xuecheng and her eyes sparkled. Even her delicate shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
âBrother Xuecheng, would you let me talk to you in private for a while? Just for a while, please...â
Sheng Anâning choked and her voice which was known as the voice of nature was now hoarse because of her crying.
Seeing Sheng Anâningâs pathetic look, Jiang Xuechengâs heart was still as cold as a rock, completely unmoved. He shifted his eyes to Su Wan, as if asking for her opinion.
Su Wan nodded faintly. She trusted Jiang Xuecheng and therefore, believed that he would not waver at Sheng Anâningâs words.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wanâs nod, he shot a cold look at Sheng Anâning and said, âOkay.â
As soon as this word was uttered, Sheng Anâningâs pale face turned a little redder. There was endless joy in her eyes as if they were suddenly filled with vitality.
When Jiang Haoxuan saw that Sheng Anâningâs heart was all on his brother, a light of pain flashed through his eyes. He stood up slowly and spoke to Su Wan and Xu Ziyao.
âMom, Sis-in-Law, letâs go out first.â
Su Wan nodded slightly. She caught up with Jiang Haoxuanâs pace and walked out quickly. Xu Ziyao gracefully walked out of the ward in her cheongsam.
That moment, only Jiang Xuecheng and Sheng Anâning were left in the intensive care unit.
The slightly bright light in the room shone on Jiang Xuechengâs face, making his facial contour look deeper. He looked like a noble god in the sky, making one who looked at him lose their mind.
Sheng Anâning looked at the man in front of her fondly. Complicated emotions flashed through her eyes that instant.
Infatuation, irrationality, admiration, and a strong desire to possess appeared in her mind.
Jiang Xuecheng looked closely at Sheng Anâning. When he saw the infatuation on her face, he had a sudden disgust.
âWhat do you want to tell me? My time is limited.â
Jiang Xuechengâs cold and magnetic voice was like the quiet water of a lake without any waves.
Sheng Anâning took a deep breath. She smiled bitterly.
âBrother Xuecheng, you gave Sis-in-Law so much time. Why canât you give me some time?â
When Sheng Anâningâs voice entered his ears, there was a moment when he felt Sheng Anâning was a lunatic.
âShe is my wife.â
They were merely four simple words but they seemed very heavy, pressing down on her heart and she couldnât breathe.
Suddenly, Sheng Anâning laughed hysterically. Then, her voice became softer with a few sounds of sobs.
âBrother Xuecheng, do you still remember the first time we met? I was only five years old then. I was brought to the Jiang family and felt everything was so unfamiliar. Then, I cried and you gave me a tissue and wiped away my tears.â
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head coldly. To be honest, who would care about such thing which had happened many years ago?
Seeing his stoic face, Sheng Anâning continued crying and her look was complicated.
She started liking him the first time they met. At that time, she thought that this big brother was good looking. When she grew up, she must become his bride.
Jiang Xuecheng had gradually grown up from a handsome youth to an outstanding man. For many years, she had not been able to enter his heart but she was still glad because no other women had entered Jiang Xuechengâs heart as well. She was at least the closest woman to Jiang Xuecheng!
However, now everything had changed because of Su Wanâs existence!
Sheng Anâningâs hands seized tightly. There was some resentment in her beautiful eyes.
âBrother Xuecheng, since you were young, you were exceptional no matter where you stood. Iâve always felt that you are different from other men. Iâve never seen you laugh and you seem so lonely. Iâve been thinking how to warm you up.â
As Sheng Anâning spoke, she seemed to have fallen into some kind of obsession. The tear marks on her pretty face were particularly conspicuous.
âEveryone knew how I felt for you but you seem to have not felt anything. I thought there were no women around you, so naturally, you would accept me.â
Sheng Anâning sobbed and finally raised her hand to wipe her tears. In her blurry vision, Jiang Xuecheng was still looking at her faintly and calmly.
Tears filled her whole face and she felt uneasy but she continued.
âYou like girls with long hair and I kept my hair long for you. You said girls who learn the cello are classy, so I left my guqin behind and went to Dong Chen to learn the cello. Iâve done more than that for you. You have always been my target and I hope that one day, I can rightfully stand by your side.â
âBrother Xuecheng...â
Sheng Anâningâs voice was hoarse from crying. After calling Jiang Xuechengâs name, she choked with sobs.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at her indifferently. He was not at all moved by the pale Sheng Anâning in front of him.
âIâve been chasing after you for years, why wonât you see me? That day, when you and Su Wan came to pick us up at the airport, I saw for the first time that you could look at someone with those gentle eyes of yours.â
âHow am I not better than Su Wan? In terms of appearance, temperament, self-cultivation, and talent, which of these is she better at that is worth your love?â
Hearing Sheng Anâningâs question, Jiang Xuecheng gave his answer almost without thinking.
âBecause sheâs in my heart and no one is better than her.â
Thatâs right, which part of Su Wan was good?
It wasnât because Jiang Xuecheng had not met a better woman than Su Wan but no matter how outstanding the woman was, she was not the one he liked.
Su Wan was exceptional and no one could replace her.
Sheng Anâning shook upon hearing this. She seemed to have not expected such answer from Jiang Xuecheng.
Because Su Wan was in his heart, so no one was her match?
Sheng Anâning cried and laughed crazily. âBut sheâs not good enough for you to like her. Do you know how many men have been involved with her?â
âEnough!â
Jiang Xuechengâs dark eyes darkened all of a sudden.
âYou know Mr. Chen, donât you?â
Hearing this name, Sheng Anâningâs eyes widened and a strong chill rose on her back.
