Chapter: 961

So it's really awkward if one gives Ma Ran a psychological instruction that cannot speak out of turn. That instruction would have to remain in effect indefinitely.

In that case, Ma Ran wouldn't be Ma Ran anymore; she might become a crazy person or someone completely lacking self-awareness.

So I want Ma Ran to voluntarily keep quiet about my bank card business and not mention it at all. This technique is quite challenging.

After Shao Chu's departure, the spacious living room was left with only Ye Chen and Dong Ruolin, who had been silent until then.

Dong Ruolin had been waiting for an opportunity to be alone with Ye Chen, and finally, she got her chance, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to say: "Ye Chen, don't hold a grudge against Shao Chu. She isn't intentionally trying to upset you; Aunt is really worried about the missing person..."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "I know, I won't hold a grudge against her. She's my wife after all."

Dong Ruolin heard this and a fleeting glance of envy flashed across her beautiful eyes.

She couldn't understand why Ye Chen was so deeply affected by Shao Chu, when their marriage was just a pretend one in the first place. Didn't he know that it was all just an act?

Thinking about this, she felt a sense of disappointment welling up inside her.

Compared to Shao Chu's appearance and background, she didn't think she was inferior at all.

In terms of family status, she was indeed the daughter of the Dong family from Yanjing, which was far more prestigious than Shao Chu's background.

Moreover, she had already expressed her feelings to him, telling him that she truly loved him and hoped they could be together. So why did he still want to protect that woman who didn't love him?

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but ask Ye Chen with a wistful expression: "Ye Chen, you should know my intentions towards you. But do you really not have any feelings for me at all?"

As soon as Ye Chen heard her say those words, he felt his head spin and opened his mouth to say: "Ruolin, you're Shao Chu's friend, and she's my wife, so of course I treat you like a good friend. There are many good men in this world, you don't need to put your heart on me. I'm already married."

Dong Ruolin's eyes welled up with tears, and big tears began to fall from her eyes. She stubbornly wiped away her tears and said: "You're not really married at all. You've been pretending to be married for three years now. In the end, you'll just have to scatter like a play and then what will you do? Will you stand on stage alone and continue performing?"

Looking at her, Ye Chen smiled slightly and wiped away her tears with his hand, but his expression was incredibly firm as he said: "Believe me, this play will never end!"

Dong Ruolin felt a sense of warmth as Ye Chen gently wiped away her tears, while also listening to his unwavering emotional declaration towards Shao Chu. Her heart was extremely painful.

She spoke in a hoarse voice, saying: "Ye Chen, if Shao Chu truly loves you, I won't meddle with anything. But you know she's only together with you because of her grandfather's promise. Do you think this kind of feeling has any significance for you? Why not give yourself and Shao Chu both a way out?"

After saying that, she couldn't help but sob, asking him: "What don't I compare to Shao Chu? Tell me, I'll make an effort to catch up with her. Don't reject me so quickly, give me a chance, okay?"

Ye Chen stood up and shook his head: "Ruolin, men's minds are sometimes hard for you to understand. Shao Chu has done me a favor, just like you think I've done one for you. That alone is enough to keep me by her side. As for whether she loves me or not, I'm not in a hurry to figure it out. I have plenty of time to gradually get to know and explore even change things, just like you with me. Even though I've told you multiple times that I'm already married and have no interest in other women, you still continue to confess your feelings to me?"

Dong Ruolin suddenly understood.

In reality, Ye Chen's feelings towards Shao Chu were the same as her own towards him.

As soon as she said that, she suddenly realized.

However, after realizing it, her heart was still very hard to bear.

Just like Ye Chen didn't want to give up Shao Chu, Dong Ruolin also didn't want to give up Ye Chen. JrNovels.com
