Monopolize My Mysterious Wife
Chapter 756 - 756 742 Never Regret (1)_1

Chapter 756: 742, Never Regret (1)_1 Chapter 756: 742, Never Regret (1)_1 The night was deepening, with flickering lights across the island.

The large bedroom, adorned in understated opulence, subtly revealed the master’s discerning taste. Yet, scattered around were ornamental objects, all from the hands of renowned artists.

This was perhaps exactly what they meant by luxurious subtlety.

Before the floor-to-ceiling window, a man sat in a wheelchair, smoke curling around his slender fingers.

The smoke wafting upward, his handsome features were obscured, making it seemed almost illusory.

Shen Yan’s brows furrowed, his gaze fixed on the night view outside, his thoughts drifting far away.

“knock, knock, knock!”

“Young Master Yan, it’s me!”

The knock on the door echoed in a regular rhythm. Subsequently, the door was pushed open.

Under the light, A’er, dressed in black, carried the chill of the night air with him.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, a faint smell of tobacco hit his nostrils, his facial expression changed slightly, and his gaze quickly scanned the room, finally landing on the slender hand holding a cigarette.

With large steps, he walked over, stopping a meter away from the man.

“Young Master Yan, why are you smoking? The doctor mentioned that your current health condition doesn’t allow it,” He lowered his head, saying respectfully.

With a pale face, Shen Yan smirked weakly, “A’er, it seems like you’ve been nagging a lot lately.”

A’er frowned in silence.

“Don’t worry, no one cherishes my life more than I do now, I won’t bring about my own demise,” Saying this, he let the cigarette butt fall to the ground with a loosening of his finger.

He stepped on the butt to extinguish it, crushing the last sparks beneath his shoe.

Seeing this, A’er quickly walked to the side, pulled the window open slightly, letting the smoke escape from the room.

“So, what’s the situation?” Shen Yan leaned back, his well-aged features being mirrored on the glass, blurring his expressions.

A’er stood beside him, his expression serious, “Just as Young Master Yan predicted, Master Ada has contacted Dr. Kesen, probably to verify what you said.”

“What did Dr. Kesen say?” Shen Yan’s face remained calm, he knew his elder brother’s character too well. The latter only trusted himself; he wouldn’t fully trust anyone else, not even his own brother.

Luckily, he had arranged everything during his elder brother’s absence from the island, otherwise, he was afraid he would not be able to conceal it from him.

A’er said, “Dr. Kesen followed your wishes, but Master Ada asked if the success rate of the operation would be higher if we use Jian Qing’s heart. Dr. Kesen replied honestly and said that it would.”

“Huh!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan laughed coldly.

Seems like my elder brother is still coveting Jian Qing’s heart, I’m afraid he’s going to break the agreement between us.

“A’er, tell me honestly, has my elder brother sent anyone off the island?”

Seeing the man sitting in the wheelchair, A’er had a conflicted expression, hesitating to speak,”Uh…”

If Young Master Yan knew about Ada’s departure from the island and got angry, it would not be good if his illness flared up.

However, if he concealed this, he wouldn’t be able to account for it on Young Master Yan’s side.

After weighing his options, he was more torn.

“A’er, you’ve been with me long enough. You should know what I value and despise. There can only be one master. If you can’t regard me as the sole master, you might as well go back to my elder brother.” Shen Yan said calmly, his gaze steady.

“Young Master Yan, that was not what I meant.” A’er dropped to one knee, his eyes anxiously looking at Shen Yan, quickly explaining.

“Dr. Kesen has said that your body can no longer withstand any stress, nor is it suitable for agitation; otherwise, even he would be helpless.”)

Shen Yan cast a glance at him, a soft smile playing on his lips,”A’er, I know you care about me. But you must know that there are things in life that are more important to protect than life itself. The sins we owe must be paid, now get up.”

Seeing the subtle smile in his eyes, A’er made up his mind, stood up, and said, “Young Master Yan, Master Ada has left the island.”

Master Ada was Shen Hua’s right-hand man, or more accurately, his shadow. No matter where Shen Hua went, Ada would be there too. Now that Ada has left the island alone, it was obvious that he was on a mission from Shen Hua.

At this critical juncture, the only task that would warrant Shen Hua’s personal shadow, Ada, could only be associated with Shen Yan, that is, to procure Jian Qing’s heart.

Shen Yan’s eyes darkened; his smile had an undertone of iciness.

Big brother, are you really forcing me to stand against you?

“Where is Ada now?”

“That I’m not sure, Master Ada already has his eyes on me,” A’er replied.

On this island, Master Ada is the real master, his eyes and ears are everywhere. If he found out about the actions he took on behalf of Shen Yan, he would surely be skinned and thrown into the sea.

Shen Yan glanced at him and understood his predicament.

Actually, even without asking, he could guess that Ada must be off looking for Jian Qing, if not in M country, then in Beijing.

His additional question was merely for that last sliver of hope.

“Where is my elder brother now?”

A’er said, “The servants said that after dinner, Master Ada went back to his study to have a video conference.”

Shen Yan’s eyes grew darker, “Let’s go, push me out.”

“Young Master Yan, where are you going at this late hour?”

“To see my elder brother.”

A’er wanted to dissuade him, but seeing the firm look in his eyes, he let out a sigh and walked over to push the wheelchair.

The buildings on the island were beautifully spread out. Shen Yan’s residence was quite a distance away from Shen Hua’s. They had to traverse the corridor, garden, and a long path.

The sea breeze blew gently, with tree shadows swaying. The lamplight on the ground lengthened the shadows.

Facing the cold sea breeze, Shen Yan spoke lightly, “A’er, have you ever regretted choosing to be by my side?”

“Never.” A’er replied without any expression.

Originally, there were three people who received the training; him, Ada, and Asan. Except for Ada, one of him or Asan was to be assigned under Shen Yan. He was the one who had asked to follow Shen Yan.

Nothing else, just because Shen Yan had helped him once when they first met. At that time, he had sworn to be loyal to him for life.

The facts proved that his choice was correct. In comparison to Ada and Asan, the pressure he faced at Shen Yan’s side was much lighter, and he didn’t have to always live life on the edge, amidst the constant blood and blade.

Shen Yan chuckled softly, his gaze fixed on the tallest building on the island.

The cool-toned building almost blended into the night. Surrounded by patrolling guards, it was the most heavily guarded place on the island besides the garden.
