Shen Tianhe and Shen Tianchen were first startled by the passionate kiss.
Then, almost simultaneously, they stood up. Shen Tianchen snatched Shen Tianxing from Xie Linchuan’s grasp.
Bam!
Shen Tianhe directly punched Xie Linchuan.
“Shen Tianhe, what are you doing!”
Shen Tianxing frantically broke free from Shen Tianchen’s grip and ran to Xie Linchuan, who had been knocked onto the sofa by Shen Tianhe.
Xie Linchuan didn’t speak, only gently wiping the corner of his mouth with his hand.
“Xie Linchuan, are you okay!Shen Tianxing casually picked up a tissue and heartily helped him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Shen Tianxing, have you gone mad?”
“Do you know what you’re doing?”
Shen Tianhe grabbed her hand and scolded loudly, “Come home with me!”
“I’m not going back!”
“Shen Tianxing, stop making a scene. Do you want to make Dad die of anger?” Shen Tianchen’s face also darkened.
He looked at Xie Linchuan and warned harshly:
“My sister is getting engaged the day after tomorrow. If you don’t want the relationship between the Shen and Xie families to break apart, you’d better stay away from my sister.”
“Shen Tianhe, let go of me!”
“Shen Tianxing, if you keep causing trouble, I’ll knock you out and tie you up to take you back!”
Shen Tianxing glanced at Xie Linchuan. Was he testing her? So even after being hit, he didn’t refute!
In her panic, Shen Tianxing directly grabbed an empty bottle from the table and smashed it hard against the edge of the table, shattering the bottle.
She pointed the remaining half at her own neck. At this, Xie Linchuan became tense.
“Shen Tianhe, stop right there!” Xie Linchuan roared.
The moment Shen Tianhe turned around, he was so frightened that he immediately let go!
“Everyone, stay away from me.” Shen Tianxing’s emotions were somewhat agitated, fueled by the alcohol she had consumed earlier.
“Tianxing, be good, put the bottle down. You’ll hurt yourself!” This was probably the longest sentence Xie Linchuan had said to her all night.
“Stay there! Don’t come any closer!”
Shen Tianxing’s shout made Xie Linchuan freeze in place, not daring to move recklessly.
“Why didn’t you tell my brothers about our relationship?” Shen Tianxing began to demand an explanation.
“Didn’t you say to keep their anger until the day of the engagement?” Xie Linchuan explained honestly.
It was the first time he had seen this woman so crazy, and all for his sake!
“Xie Linchuan, are you sick? Look at the situation! He hit you, and you didn’t even explain. Why are you so cowardly!”
“He’s your brother. If my brother-in-law hits me, how can I fight back?”
Brother-in-law?
Shen Tianhe and Shen Tianchen were completely unable to get a word in; at this moment, they were utterly confused!
“Then why didn’t you dodge? Are those muscles of yours just for show?”
Xie Linchuan: What does reaction speed have to do with muscles?
“Shen Tianxing, listen to me. Put the bottle down, and we’ll properly explain the situation to them. We’ll clarify everything, okay?”
“No!” Shen Tianxing pressed the bottle tightly against her neck, breaking the skin. Crimson blood slowly seeped around the edge of the glass.
“Don’t move, I beg you. Please don’t hurt yourself, okay!” Seeing the blood on Shen Tianxing’s neck, Xie Linchuan was going crazy!
Shen Tianxing: He just begged me…
“Xie Linchuan, you’re a bad person. You don’t believe me. Do you think I’m lying to you? Do you think I’m only trying to please you because of Fu Jinyan?””Xie Linchuan, your mind is so brilliant in business, why are you so clueless when it comes to emotions? Before, everyone in the capital knew I liked Fu Jinyan, but I never even kissed him!”
“Everyone in the capital also knows that the young master of the Xie family is famously emotionally challenged, never getting close to women. Only those around you know that this emotionally challenged person is hopelessly in love with the Shen family’s eldest young lady, who will never even glance back at you.”
“Xie Linchuan, I’ve given myself to you, and you still don’t believe me? Since that’s the case, I won’t make things difficult for you anymore!”
Shen Tianxing turned to her two brothers who were standing there dumbfounded.
“Brothers, I won’t marry Fu Jinyan. The person I like doesn’t like me back, so there’s no joy in living anymore. Take good care of Mom and Dad, I…”
‘Ah!~’
While Shen Tianxing was talking to her brothers, Xie Linchuan swiftly stepped forward, pushed her head aside with one hand, and quickly grabbed the broken bottle neck with the other.
The moment he snatched the bottle away, he pulled Shen Tianxing into his embrace!
Shen Tianxing immediately broke down, sobbing uncontrollably in Xie Linchuan’s arms.
No matter how hard she hit him, he endured it all.
He gently patted her back, comforting her silently.
His woman had been fierce tonight – so fierce that for a moment, Xie Linchuan thought he was going to lose her forever!
“Tianchen, have Selina bring the first aid kit.”
Shen Tianchen was stunned for a second, then turned and quickly ran out.
Xie Linchuan looked at the astonished Shen Tianhe and said softly, “Let’s sit down and talk.”
Shen Tianhe was completely bewildered. What was going on? His sister – the same sister who usually argued with him over Fu Jinyan – had today threatened him with a broken bottle over his good friend!
How thrilling!
When Shen Tianchen returned with the first aid kit, Xie Linchuan carried the slightly calmer Shen Tianxing to the sofa.
Just as he was about to take the kit from Shen Tianchen, Shen Tianchen stopped him.
“Let me handle this. Your hand is bleeding too. I’ll treat Tianxing first, then help you.”
“Alright!” Xie Linchuan didn’t insist.
He stood up to make room for Shen Tianchen, then opened the photo album on his phone and handed it to Shen Tianhe.
After Shen Tianhe quickly browsed through it, he asked, “When did this happen?”
“Are you asking how long they’ve been together? Or when your sister found out?”
Xie Linchuan sat down beside Shen Tianhe, who placed his freshly lit cigarette between Xie Linchuan’s lips.
“I want to know everything!”
Xie Linchuan glanced at Shen Tianxing, who had been watching them from the other side, and asked softly, “Can I tell them?”
After seeing Shen Tianxing nod, he slowly began, “They’ve probably been together for over a year. Your sister said she found out this morning, but I don’t know who told her.”
“What about you two?” Shen Tianhe asked.
After briefly treating Shen Tianxing’s wounds, Shen Tianchen quickly came over to bandage Xie Linchuan’s hand.
“Us two?” Xie Linchuan glanced at Shen Tianxing again. “About us two, you’ll have to ask your sister!”
Then he said to Shen Tianxing, “Your brother said you’re getting close to me to help Fu Jinyan. He said he knows his sister well – that you’d do anything for Fu Jinyan! He told me not to fall for it.”Shen Tianxing glared at Shen Tianhe as if she could devour him through sheer willpower.
Shen Tianhe looked utterly bewildered, muttering to Tianxing:
“Wasn’t… wasn’t I just stating facts? Did I say something wrong?”
Tianxing: “Could you please act like a decent human being? I finally managed to get myself a husband, and you almost ruined it for me…”
