When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 526: Enemies Cross Paths (Part 6)

Sheng Jianan was slightly taken aback at the words, but quickly realized that the person in front of him wasn’t truly angry. He felt a sudden relief in his heart, stepped forward, raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly, and continued down the line of Tang Yanqi’s words: "Hmm, be the door god and protect you."

"Then do a good job. I’m going to take a shower."

"..."

What does it mean to dig a pit for oneself to jump into? Just watch Young Master Sheng’s masterful performance.

Tang Yanqi lay on the bed after her shower, listening to the sound of water in the bathroom. She closed her eyes and couldn’t help but recall the scene three years ago, watching Shen Yao come out of Sheng Jianan’s room and hearing her say to herself, "Jianan doesn’t want to see you."

Those things, she hadn’t thought about them in a long time, and now, she didn’t know why they resurfaced from the depths of her mind.

The sound of water in the bathroom gradually stopped. She felt the bed sink on the other side, and then a warm body, carrying the scent of body wash, snuggled up to her.

Sheng Jianan hugged Tang Yanqi’s waist from behind, and Tang Yanqi nestled into his embrace.

The man still carried some moisture on his body, a bit sticky, somewhat uncomfortable, yet she was reluctant to let go.

"There was an event there today; she helped me block some drinks and got a bit too drunk, that’s all."

Sheng Jianan still gave an explanation, Tang Yanqi didn’t make a sound, but from her obedient demeanor, Sheng Jianan knew she didn’t misunderstand. With her intelligence, she knew it was just a coincidence.

After a long time, just when Sheng Jianan thought the person in his arms had fallen asleep, Tang Yanqi suddenly spoke: "Tell me about Shen Yao."

Sheng Jianan was slightly taken aback, paused, then smiled: "Jealous?"

"I just want to know."

A deeper smile touched Sheng Jianan’s face. She was jealous for him, and although such situations could easily cause misunderstandings, the feeling was actually quite nice. It at least proved his position in her heart.

But when it came to actually speaking, Sheng Jianan didn’t know where to start.

"She... there’s nothing much to say."

"She was your first love, wasn’t she?"

First love?

The term felt a bit odd to Sheng Jianan.

How to define "first love"? The first person who moved you? Or the first person you were in love with?

If it was the first person who moved him, then it was indeed Shen Yao. But how did he feel moved? He had no impression of her at all. The warm memories in his mind, for some reason, he just couldn’t associate them with Shen Yao.

If it was the first person he was in love with... Sheng Jianan looked down at the woman in his arms; his first love was her.

But since Tang Yanqi brought it up, her meaning was obviously the former. Sheng Jianan sighed and spoke the truth: "She once accompanied me through a period of dark times, but believe it or not, I have no particular memory of her. Yanqi, I love you. You don’t need to mind anyone, you don’t need to mind her. To her, I’m just grateful, that’s all."

Instinctively, Sheng Jianan didn’t want to tell Tang Yanqi about his past blindness. Those days weren’t glamorous, and he didn’t want her to know about his less-than-dignified side.

A simple "dark times" mention successfully shifted the topic, and Tang Yanqi didn’t pursue it further. Sheng Jianan had already said she didn’t need to mind Shen Yao, what more could she say?

Even though she very much wanted to know, since he was just grateful, since he had no feelings for her, then why, in his hardest times back then, was it Shen Yao he saw, Shen Yao he wanted?
