Chapter 16 At this moment, she missed him more than in the past three years
"Wanwan, I'm your fiancé!"
Xiang Ze decisively stretched out his hand, tightly grasped Shu Xingwan's shoulders, and loudly and firmly declared his sovereignty.
"Xiang Ze, calm down!"
The moment Shu Xingwan was pushed back by Xiang Ze, she felt a piercing pain in her ankle again.
However, she couldn't care about the pain in her ankle now, she had to concentrate on dealing with the crazy Xiang Ze.
"How do you expect me to be calm? My own fiancée showed no expression when she saw me with another woman!"
Xiang Ze's eyes were fixed on Shu Xingwan's face, his tone full of reproach and deep heartache.
"So what if I'm sad? Can what happened between you two be erased? Or can you promise that you will never look for her again, and then in a few days, hide her away in your golden house as a beautiful woman?"
Shu Xingwan was also a little angry.
She was really fed up with Xiang Ze's attitude of wanting everything.
"..."
Xiang Ze tightened his fingers around Shu Xingwan's shoulders with such force that it seemed as if he was going to crush her bones, making her feel unprecedented oppression and pain.
His lips trembled slightly, and he stammered, but he couldn't utter a single word and fell into a speechless silence.
"Xiang Ze, have you really decided what you want?"
Shu Xingwan looked at Xiang Ze and saw that his brows were furrowed in confusion. She couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.
"What do I want?"
Xiang Ze looked at Shu Xingwan, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.
Yeah, what does he want?
He just wanted her to come back to him.
But it is impossible in this lifetime!
Xiang Ze dropped his arms helplessly, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in invisible sorrow, his temperament suddenly became sad and deep.
That look again!
Shu Xingwan felt a little disgusted. She hated the feeling of being used as a substitute.
"I won't keep you here any longer. Go home and have a good rest and think about it carefully. No matter what decision you make, I will respect your choice!"
Shu Xingwan's ankle was a little painful, and she was almost forced to stand on one leg with her back against a hard wall.
She persuaded Xiang Ze earnestly.
"Wanwan, it's so late, can't you take me in for one night?"
Xiang Ze stared at Shu Xingwan with deep pleading eyes.
Although he had a smile on his face, that smile revealed an indescribable sadness that made people feel sympathetic.
"..."
Shu Xingwan frowned and remained silent. She thought Xiang Ze's request was indeed a bit excessive and seemed to be too much for her.
It seems that the relationship between them is not yet at the point where he can stay overnight.
"Wanwan? I won't touch you, just sleep on the sofa!"
Xiang Ze, with a pitiful look on his face, gently took Shu Xingwan's hand.
Shu Xingwan closed her lips slightly and sighed softly.
"All right!"
After careful consideration, Shu Xingwan finally made a compromise decision.
Now is not the time to fall out with him.
Although he doesn't like strangers entering his territory, for the sake of the greater good, he just endures it.
Shu Xingwan turned around and opened the door.
Xiang Ze walked behind Shu Xingwan with a sly and complacent smile on his face.
It’s a pity that Shu Xingwan didn’t see it, otherwise she would never have been soft-hearted towards him.
"You can sleep in the guest room. Everything in there is clean!"
After entering the apartment, Shu Xingwan pointed in the direction of the guest bedroom and went into the master bedroom.
After closing the door, she was still a little worried. After all, one should always be on guard against others.
She thought about it, locked the door, and then went into the master bedroom bathroom with her pajamas.
It was the first time Xiang Ze stepped into Shu Xingwan's territory. He strolled leisurely around the spacious living room.
The whole room is clean and tidy, exuding the breath of life everywhere, and you can also see the owner's care in decorating every corner.
【Ask me what I want? 】
Xiang Ze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes focused on the oil painting of Shu Xingwan's self-portrait hanging in the living room, admiring the painting.
[Before coming here, I might have thought about it, but after coming here, I know what I want. Shu Xingwan, I want you to stay by my side for the rest of my life and be her substitute.]
Xiang Ze walked slowly towards the oil painting. He raised his hand slightly, and his fingertips gently lingered between Shu Xingwan's eyebrows, as if he was caressing his beloved.
"It's really like that, isn't it?"
----
The next day, Shu Xingwan got up very early.
She didn't expect that someone got up earlier than her.
"Morning, come and have breakfast!"
Xiang Ze was busy placing steaming soy milk, golden and crispy fried dough sticks, buns with full stuffing, and nutritious and delicious millet porridge on the neat dining table.
When the sound of the master bedroom door opening came, he turned around, looked at Shu Xingwan with a warm smile, and kindly invited her to come over for breakfast.
"Why buy so many?"
There was a glimmer of surprise in Shu Xingwan's eyes. She didn't expect that he could get up so early and prepare so many things.
Facing the table full of dazzling breakfast, Shu Xingwan couldn't help but frown slightly and stroked his forehead lightly, feeling a little headache.
Can you finish this?
"I don't know your taste, so I bought some of each."
Xiang Ze smiled naively, with a hint of flattery in his tone.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
After all, the other person had worked hard to prepare breakfast, so Shu Xingwan thanked him politely.
"This is what my fiancé should do. It's not hard!"
Xiang Ze gently took Shu Xingwan's hand, led her to the dining table, and gently pressed her shoulders to make her sit on the chair.
"..."
Shu Xingwan smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
fiancé?
This man seems to still have the aftereffects of madness.
Shu Xingwan picked up a fried dough stick, broke it into pieces, and soaked it in soy milk.
She is very busy every day and has a tight schedule, so she always has a simple breakfast.
But she doesn't like to eat anything too meaty in the morning, so she won't touch anything with stuffing like buns.
Xiang Ze also noticed this and kept it in mind.
"Your oil painting is really nice. Which master did you ask to paint it?"
Shu Xingwan followed Xiang Ze's gaze.
She found him staring at her oil self-portrait.
He understood what was going on and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Of course it's me, the master who has not yet become famous."
Shu Xingwan smiled jokingly and continued to eat with his head down.
Xiang Ze was stunned when he heard Shu Xingwan's joking tone.
It was the first time he saw Shu Xingwan being so childish since they were together.
Xiang Ze laughed out loud, and the resentment that had been pent up in his heart last night suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"I didn't expect Wanwan had this skill! The painting is really good and professional! When I first saw it last night, I thought it was a photo, but when I looked closely, I realized it was an oil painting."
Xiang Ze's eyes revealed deep admiration.
It is difficult for those who have not systematically studied oil painting techniques to create such vivid and lifelike paintings.
"well enough!"
Shu Xingwan raised her eyes and took another look at the oil painting.
Before she was 17, she had no chance to come into contact with such elegant things. Her life was filled with endless beatings and scoldings.
After she turned 17, Fu Yuzhou tried his best to find all the resources for her, always wanting to give her the best.
The reason why her oil paintings are so good is that Fu Yuzhou visited her three times, invited a world-class oil painting master to come, and became his last disciple.
Thinking of Fu Yuzhou, Shu Xingwan fell silent.
Her debt to him was like an abyss in the darkness, bottomless and too heavy to bear.
This debt is not only material, but also spiritual, which makes her heart full of guilt and self-blame.
The relationship between them is like an intricate web, with every line closely connected and inseparable.
Both laughter and tears became part of their shared experience, making the bond between them stronger and more difficult to untie.
This entanglement may be the bond of their emotions that makes them unable to let go and forget.
At this moment, she missed him even more than in the past three years...
