Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 108:

Chapter 108: Chapter 108:

Fu Xingzhou set down his teacup, his expression turning grave, "Am I someone who should be kept out of sight?"

Ye Zhun had never known about his brother-in-law’s existence and naively thought his sister was still single.

Ye Yan felt a bit guilty and placed her hand on the back of his, gently caressing it a couple of times, "I’ll tell him, but we can’t rush this."

Suddenly learning that his sister had been married for over a year, and that her husband was a man who held significant power in Ao City, Ye Zhun probably needed time to adjust.

Moreover, her union with Fu Xingzhou was not honorable, and she did not know how to start explaining it.

She had thought about formally introducing Fu Xingzhou to Ye Zhun; she just needed a bit more time.

"Actually, I was planning to head back to Hong Kong during this time," Fu Xingzhou clasped her hand in return, "You handle it as you see fit."

His attitude softened, but his tone was still somewhat harsh.

At that moment, Chen Yiren appeared at the top of the stairs and, seeing them holding hands, said, "I apologize, am I interrupting?"

"It doesn’t matter," Fu Xingzhou dismissed, "How is Miss Shen?"

"Her spirits are fine, but physically, I would like to ask for Mrs. Fu’s assistance."

Ye Yan entered the bedroom where Shen Wan’er was sitting up in bed, looking at the branches stretching past the window.

Hearing footsteps, Shen Wan’er turned around, saw it was Ye Yan, and smiled, "Dr. Ye."

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Shen Wan’er shook her head, "I’m quite well, my brother is just overreacting."

With no one else in the room, she couldn’t help but pull Ye Yan to sit down and talk, "Dr. Ye, I’ve caused you trouble. If I’d known such a thing would happen, I definitely wouldn’t have come to Ao City."

"No one can foresee everything, especially when you were implicated through no fault of your own."

The real target was Chen Yiren.

Shen Wan’er sighed lightly, "I caused trouble for my brother this time. He can’t explain to our uncle when he goes back to the Capital City."

What sort of family the Chen Family was, Shen Wan’er had grown up there and knew it well.

She didn’t blame the Chen Family for being heartless; everyone has their priorities, and the Chen Family valued status and profit.

But she hadn’t expected that Chen Yiren was different from them; he eventually chose her.

"Dr. Ye, do you have many doubts, believing I am the third party in this?"

Ye Yan wanted to say something, but Shen Wan’er softly interrupted, "I’ve relied on my brother since childhood, and he was the kindest to me in our house. When I grew up and understood what liking someone meant, I realized what I felt for my brother was not sibling-like love but romantic love. Being disabled, with no parents and no power, and the Chen Family wanting a bride like Miss Ding for strategic marriage... I thought studying abroad would dilute these feelings, but upon returning, my brother confessed he’d always liked me, in the way I liked him. We secretly dated, couldn’t tell anyone, hidden from the light, yet trying to find our own light in each other’s eyes."

Shen Wan’er reached this point, her pupils shining distinctly, no doubt reflecting the happiest and most unforgettable period she had with Chen Yiren.

"We always behaved with propriety, never crossing the line. Even though we stayed in the same house during vacations, he slept in the secondary bedroom and I in the master bedroom. You may not believe it, but we didn’t even share a kiss."

Ye Yan was genuinely surprised.

Chen Yiren seemed deeply in love with Shen Wan’er, yet he had the restraint to maintain such distance in her presence.

Real siblings would probably do no more than that.

"He knew we could never be together, so our love was platonic, much like Plato’s own. He wanted to preserve the best of me for the man who would marry me in the future," Shen Wan’er’s gaze dimmed, "Dr. Ye, only by staying within these bounds could I indulge a little longer in the joy of being his sister. Once crossed, I would lose even that right."

"After he gets married, what are your plans?"

Shen Wan’er lifted her head, fighting back the tears in her eyes, "Go abroad, and never come back to Capital City again."

Ye Yan didn’t know how to comfort her, and as an observer, she didn’t have the right to meddle.

"Maybe you can wait a bit longer."

"Wait?" Shen Wan’er looked at her, bewildered.

Ye Yan thought about the conversation between the two men in the car, how Chen Yiren was exceptionally capable, standing out in the Chen Family, but he was under a chairman, and Shen Wan’er’s situation had become the catalyst that could bring down the chairman.

If he succeeded in seizing power and became the true master of the Chen Family, then he would be the one to decide his own marriage.

Ye Yan couldn’t say much; if Chen Yiren really intended it, he would secure Shen Wan’er.

It was just uncertain whether the Chen Family would allow Shen Wan’er to continue to influence Chen Yiren.

Two days later, Chen Yiren and Shen Wan’er returned to Capital City, while Ding Man had been sent back earlier by him.

Fu Xingzhou and Ye Yan were talking over the phone when he mentioned that as soon as Ding Man got back to Capital City, Chen Yiren went to call off the engagement. Naturally, the Ding Family disagreed and the Chen Family also said it was Chen Yiren’s own obstinacy, which caused a huge dispute between the two families.

It wasn’t until Chen Yiren threw the evidence of Ding Man colluding with others to harm the Chen Family in front of the Ding Family that they finally fell silent.

Ding Man’s intention was only to get rid of Shen Wan’er, but she had allied with the Chen Family’s enemy for her own desires. If her plans had succeeded, the Chen Family would have lost Ao City—a lucrative opportunity.

The Chen Family certainly wouldn’t allow such a treacherous woman to be their daughter-in-law, and the marriage between the two families was eventually called off.

But Chen Yiren knew that all this was temporary; without the Ding Family, there would be the Li Family and Zhang Family. Marriages arranged by his family would surely benefit the family the most, and Capital City was not short of such well-matched noble families, nor was it lacking in noble ladies.

He still couldn’t openly be with Shen Wan’er.

"Sister."

The joyful shout of a young boy made Ye Yan hurriedly put down her phone.

Ye Zhun, wearing his blue and white school uniform, stood out in the crowd with his tall figure and delicate features.

"Finally on holiday," Ye Zhun, sweating from running, casually wiped his face with his sleeve, his eyes bright as snow, "Finally can go home."

"Ye Zhun, is this your sister?"

A few boys gathered around, clearly his close friends.

"Yes, this is my sister." Ye Zhun proudly stood beside Ye Yan, introducing her to the boys in front of him, "Zhang Jiahao, Li Yiheng, and Song Shu."

"Hello, Sister," the boys chorused.

"Sister is really pretty."

"I know Sister, she’s in the school’s famous alumni record, there’s a photo of Sister," Li Yiheng grinned, "She also has a nickname called Jumping Candy because she always skipped grades."

"You’re the one called Jumping Candy, no, you should be called Stretchy Candy," Ye Zhun punched him in the chest, "Enough said, we’re going now."

Amidst a chorus of goodbyes, Ye Yan and Ye Zhun headed toward the car parked by the roadside.

"Xiao Zhun." Someone waved towards them.

Ye Zhun shouted happily, "Sister, it’s Brother Hen."
