Hunt her

Yan Xu felt uneasy during the meal.

Before she knew that Shen Yi was the heir apparent of the Shen Group, she felt that she was not good enough for him. After learning about his family background, she felt even more unworthy of him.

Her intense lack of self-confidence made her feel guilty no matter what Shen Yi did for her.

Yan Xu didn't want to get caught up in negative emotions: "Shen Yi, even for my sake, let's break up, okay?"

She couldn't ignore his behavior, nor could she disregard the kindness he showed her.

The more Shen Yi did for her, the more she felt inferior.

Feelings are such strange things.

When you don't have someone, pray that you will have a perfect partner.

But once you actually possess it, you hesitate and can't muster the courage to get closer.

Hearing Yan Xu tell him to leave first thing in the morning was enough to make Shen Yi, with his usually good temper, explode. He told her firmly, "Impossible. If you don't want me to end up in the police station, then stop trying to get rid of me."

If you want to stay by Yan Xu's side, you can only rely on his shamelessness.

Luckily, he doesn't care about saving face, otherwise they might have actually gotten divorced.

After the meal, Shen Yi crossed one leg and took the initiative to clear the table, but Yan Xu grabbed his wrist to stop him: "You should rest properly and not move."

"It's nothing, I already did it last night." Shen Yi said frankly without any embarrassment, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

He had already gotten used to taking care of Yan Xu.

Whether it was housework or in bed, he felt he should serve Yan Xu.

He wanted to stay by Yan Xu's side because he loved her and needed her, not because she needed him.

Having figured out this cause-and-effect relationship, Shen Yi felt that his contribution was only right and proper.

Yan Xu insisted on helping him to the sofa: "Listen to me, take good care of your leg."

"Then kiss me." Shen Yi was sitting, while Yan Xu was standing. He could only look up at her. "Kiss me, and I'll do whatever you say."

"..." Yan Xu tilted her head to look at him with doting eyes, "Shen Yi, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

It tore her reason and emotions apart.

After making love last night, it was the first time she couldn't fall asleep quickly; her mind was filled with thoughts of whether what she had done was wrong.

Since she chose to leave him, she still engaged in intimate acts with him, stringing Shen Yi along like a heartless woman.

She was in pain, and so was Shen Yi.

Sensitive people can only prove that the other person loves them by pushing them away countless times.

People who lack self-confidence and low self-esteem need to let go, hoping that the other person will be happier.

Yan Xu was a person who was both sensitive and insecure.

She wanted to distance herself from Shen Yi and let him find a better girl than her, but deep down she didn't want him to leave.

The contradictions and anxieties ultimately exhausted not only her but also Shen Yi.

After clearing the table, Yan Xu went back to her bedroom to change her clothes and prepare to go to the company.

Before leaving, she turned her head and saw Shen Yi's gaze, as if he were gazing at his wife with unwavering reluctance. Her heart tightened: "You don't want me to leave?"

Shen Yi didn't speak, but just kept nodding: "Mm".

He pointed to his leg: "It's injured. I want someone to be with me; I don't want to be alone."

People are always more vulnerable when they are sick.

Even Shen Yi, who appears carefree and reckless to outsiders, is no exception.

Yan Xu slowly closed the door that had just been opened.

She was also worried about leaving him alone at home, fearing that if he fell, he might end up lame in his other leg.

Shen Yi was pleasantly surprised when he saw her close the door.

She still cares about me.

All morning, Yan Xu was either on the balcony making phone calls or sitting at the dining table typing on his computer.

Recently, Yuyu Technology has been trying to design and manufacture its own smart products, and Yan Xu has to personally oversee everything from the supply chain to marketing.

This is the first attempt at transformation, and no mistakes are allowed.

Shen Yi sat on the sofa like a retired old man, eating sunflower seeds and watching TV. Every now and then he would call out to Yan Xu that his legs were uncomfortable, but he really just wanted to take the opportunity to kiss her.

Unfortunately, Yan Xu actually fell for it.

I don't know how to describe the relationship between the two now.

They were clearly in a relationship that was about to end in divorce, but they acted like a couple deeply in love.

There was an awkwardness mixed with intimacy.

Yan Xu received a call from an unknown number: "Hello, who is this?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xu Sen."

Yan Xu frowned: "What is it?"

Xu Sen sat in his office, holding Yan Yan's financial contract in his hand.

He said, "Yan Yan is now an artist in my company, you know that, right?"

Yan Xu took a deep breath and said impatiently, "Get to the point."

"Because Yan Yan is a newcomer to the entertainment industry, she wants to gain popularity by creating a persona of a rich second-generation."

"So what?" Yan Xu didn't understand what this had to do with her. "My father is willing to play along with her act, so let him act it out."

Just don't bother her.

However, Xu Sen pointed out a direction she hadn't expected: "She wants to leverage your fame in the business world, using your beautiful and capable older sister to create an image of herself that is equally beautiful, so that the outside world will subconsciously think that she is just as capable as you."

Yan Xu understood what he meant.

That family of three really wouldn't stop until they squeezed every last bit of value out of her.

But Yan Xu was no longer the person who could be bullied by others.

Yan Xu spoke slowly, his tone calm: "Let her be."

Opportunities gained through a persona can also be lost because of that persona.

Xu Sen asked in confusion, "You don't mind? Aren't you two on bad terms?"

"Yes," Yan Xu admitted frankly, "Our relationship is indeed not good. She takes advantage of my identity if she wants to."

But don't blame her for tearing Yan Yan's mask off herself when the time comes.

Hearing her reaction, Xu Sen felt somewhat disappointed.

Xu Sen originally thought that Yan Xu would ask him for help to reduce Yan Yan's exposure opportunities, but he did not expect that Yan Xu would accept it so readily.

Yan Xu: "Is there anything else?"

Xu Sen: "That's all."

Yan Xu: "Mm."

He hung up right after he finished speaking, without any hesitation.

Shen Yi asked her, "Who wants to take advantage of you?"

He had just heard her say that someone wanted to take advantage of her identity, and he felt that things were not simple.

Yan Xu walked over and handed him a glass of water: "Yan Yan used me, her 'older sister,' to boost her own fame. She doesn't believe she's stupid."

A persona is the easiest thing to collapse.

He even wanted to take advantage of her, with whom he had a bad relationship.

Shen Yi volunteered, "Do you need my help? I'm a very useful husband."

Yan Xu covered him with a blanket: "It's early winter, be careful not to catch a cold."

She changed the subject, clearly not wanting to trouble him.

It seems she still harbors resentment towards him and is still thinking about how to leave him.

Shen Yi sulked, threw the blanket aside, and stared at the TV with a resentful look.

Yan Xu looked at the blanket that had been thrown onto her and smiled faintly: "Shen Yi, has anyone ever told you that you're difficult to deal with?"

Shen Yi snorted; "You're the same, we're both equally bad."

That's true, she's also very difficult to deal with.

Shen Yi glanced sideways, pouting, "Why didn't you ask me why I was angry?"
