Chapter 356: Years Pass by (XIX)

Shen Zhaoli looked at Wen Jiao standing at the door, stood up, and walked towards the latter under Wei Shuqian's stunned gaze. He said, "Jiaojiao, you are here."

Wen Jiao's hands were a little cold, and she let Shen Zhaoli take her hand and walk to sit opposite Wei Shuqian.

"He must see you. I think he won't be willing if you don't make things clear in person." Shen Zhaoli looked at Wen Jiao's stunned eyes and said, "Jiaojiao, you guys talk slowly. I'll wait for you outside."

The surprise between Wen Jiao's eyebrows became even more severe.

Shen Zhaoli stood up, let go of her hand, and left the box.

Shen Zhaoli is a proud man at heart. He can accept that Wen Jiao does not love him and stays with him out of weighing the pros and cons, but he cannot accept that there is sympathy in this reason.

Sympathy is unbearable for Shen Zhaoli.

The reason why he went out was to prevent Wen Jiao from being disturbed by him and to be able to make decisions as he pleased.

Until the door was closed, the atmosphere fell into dead silence.

Wei Shuqian looked at Wen Jiao calmly, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and said, "Jiao Jiao, how have you been these years?"

"very good."

"I heard that your father passed away, and I thought it must be hard for you to accept it, so I came to see you as soon as I finished the things at hand." Wei Shuqian looked at Wen Jiao. She had short hair, and her palm-sized face looked even slimmer.

She had her eyes downcast, not knowing what she was thinking.

Wei Shuqian's throat was rolling rapidly. He had been thinking about what to say for a long time. Now he finally had the chance to say it. He said, "I know you are still angry about me leaving that year, but at that time, I was alone and weak. I couldn't stay with you. This would only bring you danger."

"Then congratulations, you are now in power and no one can stop you." Wen Jiao picked up the teacup and saluted Wei Shuqian, "This glass of wine is for you."

"Jiaojiao, that's not what I meant." Wei Shuqian's eyes were red. He paused and said slowly and with difficulty: "I want to tell you that if you don't like Shen Zhaoli, I can help you divorce him. I know that your relationship has not been good for so many years, Jiaojiao, I don't want you to be unhappy in the future."

Wen Jiao looked at him without saying a word.

Wei Shuqian was hurt by Wen Jiao's gaze. He laughed at himself and whispered, "Do you think that I am being hypocritical when I say this? Jiaojiao, I am really not saying nice things to make you happy, nor am I trying to take advantage of this opportunity to get you to come back to me. I just hope that you can live freely and happily."

"Wei Shuqian, do you think freedom means happiness?" Wen Jiao asked softly.

Wei Shuqian slowly clenched his hands into fists, and his voice was very difficult, "I think there is a connection after all."

"It has nothing to do with it." Wen Jiao said, "Love cannot be absolutely free. If you love someone, you will want to stay with him. In this case, there will be no freedom."

Wei Shuqian heard the word "love" from Wen Jiao's mouth.

She said it so calmly.

"you love him?"

"Of course I love him."

Wei Shuqian's eyes were extremely red. He looked at Wen Jiao without saying a word for a long time, then closed his eyes tightly.

How can it be love?

Wei Shuqian thought of many answers, but none of them had anything to do with love.

"You said you love him, what do you love about him?" Wei Shuqian finally opened his eyes, his eyes were red, "Wen Jiao, you are really touched, because this person accompanies you unconditionally, so you are touched."

Wen Jiao thought that Wei Shugan’s words might also be the grudge in Shen Zhaoli’s heart.

Out of emotion?
Wen Jiao is not so moved that she would sacrifice her life. "It's not about being moved." Wen Jiao said, "When we first got together, he did a lot of things for me, such as making snow in the summer, buying me lots of jewelry, expensive clothes, and all kinds of careful arrangements. He did a lot of things to make me like him, but I didn't feel moved. I love him only because he understands me."

"Don't I understand you?" Wei Shuqian's heart was stabbed hard.

"When you left, I told you that if you walked out of that door, from now on, our fate would be over. Shuqian, I didn't say that in anger, I meant every word."

Wei Shuqian looked at Wen Jiao and felt that the woman in front of him was so far away from him for a moment.

He smiled bitterly, all his obsession turned to ashes, and he had no strength left.

He said: "Jiaojiao, I came to you not because I wanted you to reconcile with me, but because I was afraid that you were unhappy. I didn't want you to marry someone you didn't like and waste your life. But now, you said you love him."

Wei Shuqian slowly stood up. He looked at Wen Jiao without saying a word. In the latter's complicated gaze, he smiled calmly and said, "Then I wish you a long and happy life together. Jiaojiao, I'm sorry. I was wrong about what happened back then."

Wen Jiao thought, how can there be so many right and wrong? Many things are just different standpoints.

Wen Jiao didn't want to pursue right or wrong.

She looked at Wei Shuqian for a long time and whispered, "Wei Shuqian, I'm very happy that we were together before."

Shen Zhaoli stood in the corridor, looking at the stars outside the window.

Shen Jinci had just coaxed Bian Xiao to sleep when he called to ask about Wei Shuqian.

Shen Zhaoli smiled nonchalantly and said, "Oh, hello brother, I'm talking to Jiaojiao."

On the other end, Shen Jinci was silent for a moment.

He said, "Shen Zhaoli, how dare you?"

Shen Zhaoli listened, as if he was hit by a club, a little painful, he concealed it, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, do you all think that Jiaojiao really doesn't like me?"

"Zhao Li." Shen Jinci sighed and said, "Don't think too much."

Shen Zhaoli's smile remained. He raised his head, looked at the sky, and said with certainty, "Jiaojiao loves me very much."

On the other end, Shen Jinci was silent for a moment.

He said, "That's Wei Shuqian."

"Yeah." Shen Zhaoli said, "I know."

"You shouldn't have let Wen Jiao meet him alone. So many years have passed, it's hard for you to imagine how deep Wei Shuqian's obsession with Wen Jiao is now." Shen Jinci has always been rational, and he always speaks from a rational perspective, and every word he says is sharp.

Shen Zhaoli knows everything.

"Wen Jiao is also a person with deep obsessions." Shen Zhaoli retracted his gaze, his eyebrows drooped, and he said in a very paranoid tone, "If Jiao Jiao can leave with me today, then from now on, Wei Shuqian will be a thing of the past."

Shen Jinci finally understood that Shen Zhaoli was gambling.

Shen Jinci didn't know what to say. One was his younger brother, and the other was his brother.

Shen Jinci fell silent, paused, and said, "Bring Wen Jiao to have dinner together this weekend."

Shen Zhaoli was silent for a long time until he heard footsteps behind him.

He turned around and saw Wen Jiao walking towards him.

Shen Zhaoli smiled slightly and said, "We will come."
