Chapter 590: Master Sheng, Do You Like My Sister?
After Jian Yichen got injured, Jian Yiling took on the responsibility of taking care of him.
Jian Yichen did not dare to tell his parents about his situation.
However, despite his injuries, Jian Yichen found the situation to be incredibly amusing. He was amused to see Zhai Yunsheng’s sunken expression.
“Why are you smiling? You got bashed up so badly,” Zhai Yunsheng taunted Jian Yichen.
“It doesn’t matter,” Jian Yichen replied. His tone was flat and casual. “I’m not afraid of physical pain.”
Physical pain was temporary. On the other hand, wounds on the heart always existed.
“Pigeon soup or pork rib soup?” Jian Yiling asked Jian Yichen.
“Pigeon soup,” Jian Yichen replied with a smile. Then, he provocatively glanced at Zhai Yunsheng. It was as though he was taunting Zhai Yunsheng.
After this, Jian Yiling ran off into the kitchen to make soup for Jian Yichen.
As Jian Yichen watched his sister leave, he smiled.
He had his sister’s care. She was making soup for him. His days were wonderful.
Being alive was wonderful.
Therefore, this time around, they all had to stay alive.
Jian Yichen turned around and looked at Zhai Yunsheng. Although Zhai Yusheng was not close with Yiling in their previous life, he had still buried her after she pa.s.sed away. Jian Yichen was still grateful to him for this.
If he weren’t the Young Master of the Zhai family, and if he didn’t have heart problems, then perhaps, he would be the right person for Yiling.
However, he was going to die young. The more they loved each other, the more hurt Yiling would be later on.
He knew that his sister’s heart was actually incredibly sensitive. Furthermore, if she loved someone, she would love them to the bone.
And thus, he did not want Yiling to be together with Zhai Yunsheng. He did not want to imagine the pain Yiling would suffer if something happened to Zhai Yunsheng.
Therefore, even if his actions right now were unreasonable, he still did not want to put his sister into endless pain later on.
“Zhai Yunsheng, do you like my sister?”
As Yiling was busy in the kitchen right now, Jian Yichen decided to speak about the matter to Zhai Yunsheng.
“What do you want to know?” Zhai Yunsheng asked rhetorically.
“If you like my sister, then you should let her go. You shouldn’t be treating her like this,” Jian Yichen replied. “I know your health condition. You could die at any moment. My sister is a very emotional person. Although she seems cold and indifferent, that’s only at the surface level. She’s just afraid of getting hurt. Furthermore, even if she gets hurt, she hides her pain. She’s that type of person. Therefore, can you imagine what will happen if you leave her after she falls in love with you? How do you think she will live the rest of her life?”
Jian Yichen’s words deeply stung Zhai Yunsheng.
He had thought about this a long time ago.
Back then, he decided to let go. He decided to take a step back.
Just… Just, in the end, he couldn’t do it anymore.
In the face of Jian Yichen’s questions, Zhai Yunsheng was silent.
There was nothing that he could say.
He knew that his decision could bring Jian Yiling a lifetime of pain.
However, he was still selfish. He still chose to be with her.
Then, Jian Yichen continued to say: “And thus, even if you know that this is going to happen, are you still planning to be with her?”
Zhai Yunsheng replied: “Well, if she doesn’t love me, then I won’t manage to hurt her in the first place. However, if she loves me, then I will never let go.”
Zhai Yunsheng was willing to take a gamble. He was gambling with fate.
He didn’t have the right to love anyone. However, he was not willing to let go again.
Therefore, the final choice was in Jian Yiling’s hands.
If she didn’t love him, then he wouldn’t force her to be with him.
However, upon hearing this, Jian Yichen replied: “Well, I will prevent this at all costs then.”
At this moment, Jian Yiling returned from the kitchen. By this time, the conversation between the two men had already ended.
The two men acted as though nothing had happened. They smiled as they drank the soup made by Jian Yiling.
