Chapter 512: Chapter 283_3

He sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

But having already kept the person here, he couldn’t reenact the nerve-racking conversation they had just had.

"Come and sit, what would you like to drink?"

Wenyan shook her head and immediately hopped onto the couch.

"No need, your honesty is definitely more thirst-quenching than any drink."

"So you are actually thirsty."

"A little, after all, I said so much just now, and at one point I nearly burst out yelling in your face."

Shen Jingxiu chuckled lightly, yes, she had been quite fierce just now.

"Then have some mineral water, it’s quenching."

Wenyan smiled at Shen Jingxiu: "Okay, please, hurry, thank you. That’s more like my big brother."

Shen Jingxiu managed a slight curl of his lips, yes, his big brother, like Ji Yuanzhou had said, for life.

Wenyan quickly had her drink, and it was the kind that was already opened when handed to her.

"Tell me, why were you so angry with me just now?"

Shen Jingxiu sat down opposite Wenyan, eyes slightly downcast, not looking at her.

"I was in a very bad mood, extremely bad."

"Hmph, you take it out on the people around you when you’re in a very bad mood? Do you usually deduct your secretary’s bonus when you’re feeling off at work, create a gloomy atmosphere throughout the office, and even randomly assign subordinates to Africa like some domineering CEO?"

Shen Jingxiu’s mood was already quite low, but hearing Wenyan mock him like that, he immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Have you been dealing with a domineering CEO’s script lately? It’s not as exaggerated as you say, if the subordinates don’t violate company policies or cause financial loss, even I don’t have the power to deduct their bonuses."

Wenyan giggled: "Actually, I know you’re a good CEO, but I’m just joking with you, aren’t I? After all, the atmosphere in this room was quite bad just now. Let’s get back to the point, so you did see my message yesterday, right?"

"Yes. I didn’t reply to you right away because I felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. I wanted to lie down and not do anything, just to empty myself, as if that was the only way to clear all the clutter in my mind."

Wenyan nodded: "You should have just said so. I can actually understand that, because I also have times when I’m enveloped by such emotions. At that moment, forget looking at the phone to reply to messages, I don’t even feel like moving a finger."

"Is that so?" Shen Jingxiu looked at Wenyan, his gaze becoming soft again, "When did it happen, what happened, why don’t I know about it?"

"Hey! How did it become your turn to question me? I still haven’t figured out why you’re in such a bad mood." Wenyan did not answer Shen Jingxiu’s question, as this was actually something from before she transmigrated into the book.

Before she transmigrated, she often encountered difficulties in many things she did, so she would sometimes feel very frustrated.

But ever since she came to this world, she hardly had any tough times, and even if she did, they were quickly resolved.

"You first, why are you feeling so down? You need to speak up, otherwise keeping it inside will only make you feel worse."

"Yes," Shen Jingxiu laughed self-deprecatingly, "Keeping it inside is indeed very painful."

"Yeah yeah, so spill it, I can’t wait to know."

Shen Jingxiu chuckled lowly: "The one who was crying just now was you, but look at how different you are now."

"Oh come on, what does it matter if I’m different or not? Why do you keep changing the subject, big brother? Mom’s going to hurry us in a moment. Just spit it out, what exactly is it about?"

Shen Jingxiu looked at Wenyan and couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He was filled with regret.

"In order to convince myself it was the right thing to do, I hurt a very innocent and happy person, I made her unhappy."

"So..." Wenyan frowned and thought for a few seconds, "then... is there still a chance to make things right?"

"Yes, I think there should still be room to turn things around." After all, she was already smiling at him now.

"Then that’s great! As long as the relationship isn’t dead, it’s not a big issue. You’ve been sadly mistaken for no reason, causing me to suffer along with you. The tone and the lines you used when you spoke to me just now really deserved a beating."

"I know, I’m sorry, Wenyan, I really shouldn’t have treated you that way." He shouldn’t have been so cold to her, shouldn’t have lied to her face.

"It’s okay, as long as things are cleared up. But since you’ve hurt someone else, you should apologize to them as well, and the sooner the better, or the relationship might grow distant if you drag it out. Why don’t you give them a call or send a message now?"
