I don’t know how long I slept, but when Shen Tingnuo woke up, it was already completely dark.

The bedside night lamp emits a warm yellow light, and I slept comfortably and soundly. It is so nice to not have to worry about food and clothing.

She stretched herself and was about to ring the bell to ask Yan Mo to come in and prepare dinner for her when her peripheral vision accidentally caught sight of a dark shadow on the sofa.

Instantly, Shen Tingnuo got goose bumps on his back, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who, who's there?!"

Is it a ghost?

How long had this big thing been there?

Shen Tingnuo didn't dare to blink, staring at that spot, clutching the quilt tightly with his hands, ready to curl up in bed at any time.

The dark shadow on the sofa moved, stood up, and walked towards the bed.

"Who are you? Yan Mo?"

Shen Tingnuo cried with a trembling voice. Between curling up in the quilt and getting out of bed and running away, she chose the former. Her foot was still in a plaster cast, so she couldn't run a few steps even if she ran away.

It was not until the warm yellow light covered the black shadow's face that Shen Tingnuo finally saw who was coming. He was so angry that he almost died.

Fu Xiuyan!

After all this time, it turns out he was playing tricks!

"What are you afraid of?"

The man stood beside the bed, looking down at the girl with tears hanging on her eyelashes, looking a little pitiful.

He said what was she afraid of!

Of course they are afraid of this big-headed ghost!

Shen Tingnuo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes fiercely, his cheeks turned red, and he was speechless for a moment.

After a long while of not seeing her answer, Fu Xiuyan softened his tone, "Are you still angry with me?"

Shen Tingnuo looked up in confusion, looking at the rare friendly man.

Angry at him?

Why are you angry with him?

She didn't know if she was frightened or just woke up, but now she was in a completely blank state and couldn't muster the energy to think.

Facing the pair of beautiful fox eyes with rippling eyes, Fu Xiuyan raised his hand, pointed his fingertips at the neck wrapped in white gauze, and asked slowly and calmly: "Does it still hurt?"

Shen Tingnuo subconsciously dodged the extended hand and stared at the man warily, not forgetting how this vicious guy pinched her and how he tore her wounds!

Fu Xiuyan's palm paused in mid-air, as if he didn't expect that she would dodge so resistively, but soon, his hand naturally changed direction and finally landed on Shen Tingnuo's head.

The incident happened suddenly, which made Shen Tingnuo unable to dodge. When she wanted to shake off the palm on her head, she said lazily in a low voice: "It was my fault for tearing your wound. I was too anxious at the time and couldn't control my temper. I owe you an apology.

But, you were also wrong. You shouldn't have angered me in that situation. Because of you, Yue Ni was seriously injured this time."

Shen Tingnuo resisted the urge to chop off the man's trotters. In fact, she had just woken up from her blind love, and for the first time she looked at Fu Xiuyan without any filter.

This bastard is really good at pretending. He wanted to strangle her to death a few days ago, but tonight he was unusually kind and even apologized to her.

In her previous life, every time she was heartbroken, Fu Xiuyan would always slap her in the face first, and then coax her with a candy a few days later, just like he did now, so that she would never give up.

Without Fu Xiuyan's deliberate guidance, how could she have fallen into such devotion for so many years?

Suddenly figuring out some things, Shen Tingnuo felt indescribably disgusted.

The man's handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes. She was startled and turned away in disgust, her bloodless lips moving.

"Brother, you're too close."

Fu Xiuyan's black eyes wavered, as if he was touched by the title of "brother" which he hadn't heard for a long time.

Ever since Shen Tingnuo expressed his feelings to him, he has never called him brother again. Now he calls him brother again, what does it mean?

Seeing the man's doubts, Shen Tingnuo concealed the uneasiness and disgust in his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, saying: "I was ignorant before, and I mistook family affection for love, which troubled you, brother."

She swallowed hard, pulling at the wound, causing her eyes to burn with pain. "I will never ask anything of you again. In fact, you don't owe me anything. I was too selfish and only cared about my own comfort without considering what you were thinking."

She lifted her thin eyelids covered with powder, looked sincere, and said solemnly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I got the wrong feelings."

As long as she and Fu Xiuyan don't get married, as long as Yun Yueni is alive, she and Shen Zhili will not be retaliated against, and her father will be alive.

Fu Xiuyan didn't say anything, but stared at her for a long while with deep eyes, as if he was meeting her for the first time, and as if he was probing the truthfulness of her words.

When Shen Tingnuo maintained the same posture for too long and his feet were almost numb, Fu Xiuyan pressed the corners of his lips together and revealed a smile.

"Nono, you have finally grown up and become sensible."

The man rubbed the top of the girl's head like an ordinary brother treating his sister.

Shen Tingnuo smiled embarrassedly, until the man left the ward, the smile on her face immediately fell.

From then on, they went their separate ways.

In this life, without her intervention, whether Fu Xiuyan and Yun Yuenni would be together or not had nothing to do with her.

Fu Xiuyan left the ward, the smile faded from his eyes. He took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his slender fingertips carefully, as if there was something dirty on them.

After wiping his hands, he threw the handkerchief into the trash can as he passed it.

After Fu Xiuyan's interruption, Shen Tingnuo lost her appetite. She lay back on the bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling. She felt sleepy again and let herself fall asleep...

"Oh!"

At two o'clock in the morning, in the mourning hall where the guests had dispersed, Fu Xiuyan, who had been busy all day, suddenly exploded and threw down his water cup.

After crying for a whole day, Shen Tingnuo, with red and swollen eyes, trembled with fear. She hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out her hands that were hanging by her legs to hold the man's fingertips.

Only when they touched did they realize that the man's fingertips were hot, while hers were as cold as ice.

She opened her lips and spoke hoarsely: "Fu Xiu..."

Before she finished calling the man's name, Fu Xiuyan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her without any emotion.

"Yuen Ni is dead. Are you satisfied with this result?" He questioned her word by word, unable to hide his anger.

Shen Tingnuo cried and shook her head, hurriedly explaining: "No, no, I didn't know she would get into a car accident! Fu Xiuyan, you can't, you can't blame me for her death!"

She sobbed sadly: "My father is dead too!"

"If you hadn't warned Yue Ni to call me privately, how could she not have found anyone to help when Uncle Shen fell ill, and she would have had a car accident on the way to take Uncle Shen to the hospital!"

Fu Xiuyan vented the anger that he had suppressed for several days and said extremely hurtful words to Shen Tingnuo.

"Shen Tingnuo, you killed your own father and your blood cousin. You are responsible for two lives. Do you regret what you did before?"

In the first year after they got married and moved out of the Shen family's old house, Shen Cong's health became worse and worse, and going in and out of the hospital was commonplace. Yun Yuenni, who stayed in the Shen family's old house, often called Fu Xiuyan and asked him to come back and take Shen Cong, who suddenly fell ill, to the hospital.

It was fine at first, until Fu Xiuyan was frequently called away by a phone call in the middle of the night and did not come back until the third morning. Shen Tingnuo finally exploded and asked Yun Yuenni out alone to give her a severe warning. Only then did the frequent calls in the middle of the night decrease.

Shen Tingnuo really didn't think so much at the time. She just didn't want Yun Yueni to contact Fu Xiuyan often. She moved out of the Shen family's old house so that the two young masters could meet.

She felt that as long as they met less and contacted less, Fu Xiuyan's feelings for Yun Yuenni would fade, and she had never thought of harming Yun Yuenni's life.

She had never thought that a car accident would happen. The Shen family had a driver and a family doctor in their old house, and at worst, her younger brother was there. How could she have known that Yun Yuenni would drive her father to the hospital herself?

Obviously the problem could be solved by just calling the driver or the family doctor, but Yun Yueni insisted on taking the sick person to the hospital in the middle of the night.

Even the traffic police ruled that Yun Yuenni ran a red light and caused the car accident, and the family doctor also said that her father's illness was not urgent enough to be sent to the hospital.
