Chapter 345: 347. Only Follow Your Own Heart (17th Update)

Wen Xiyao caressed the fluffy big head on her shoulder, and her big eyes curved into a crescent moon, "I’m not aggrieved, as long as you treat me well in the future and don’t do anything to betray me, I won’t feel aggrieved at all."

Shen Junyu nodded earnestly, "I will definitely treat you well. If I ever treat you badly in the future, you can do whatever you want to me."

Wen Xiyao burst out laughing, "I’m just teasing you, fool. You took it seriously."

Shen Junyu spoke with a serious expression, "No, Xi Yao, I’m not joking. I’m serious."

Wen Xiyao dropped her playful demeanor and tilted her head up slightly, planting a kiss on his lips, "I know, Mr. Shen."

After a long night of exhaustion, not only was Wen Xiyao tired, but Shen Junyu was tired as well. Soon after, both of them lay back down in bed and fell asleep, not waking up until the afternoon.

When Wen Xiyao woke up, Shen Junyu was already out of bed. There was a brand-new set of clothes on the bedside, which she picked up and saw they were her size. She smiled slightly, put on the clothes, and walked out of the bedroom barefoot. Shen Junyu was outside on a phone call. Although he was smiling, there was a chill in his eyes.

When he saw Wen Xiyao come out, he ended the call, furrowed his brows, and went into the bedroom without her knowing why. When he returned, he was holding a pair of slippers and crouched down to help Wen Xiyao put them on.

"How can you come out without shoes on? Don’t you know that girls shouldn’t catch cold?"

Wen Xiyao was speechless, "There’s underfloor heating in the room."

"That doesn’t mean you can go without shoes. This is still a clubhouse room. Even if there’s underfloor heating and carpets, what if there’s something sharp not cleaned up in the carpet and you cut your foot?"

Wen Xiyao rolled her eyes. If such an upscale private club had that kind of problem, it would have been shut down long ago.

"How do you know so much about girls?" Wen Xiyao tilted her head, looking at him curiously.

Shen Junyu flicked her forehead gently, "Don’t think nonsense. Lanlan is also careless about these things."

Wen Xiyao was just joking, of course, she wouldn’t take it seriously. Her eyes twinkled, and suddenly she felt like teasing Shen Junyu. She sighed and sat on the couch, "If I and Qinglan both fell into the water, you would definitely save Qinglan first, right?" She looked at him with a grievous expression.

Shen Junyu raised an eyebrow and shook his head.

"Would you save me first then?"

Shen Junyu kept shaking his head, "Both of you know how to swim; you don’t need me to save you."

Wen Xiyao rolled her eyes, "I’m just saying ’if’. You’re really not cooperative."

Shen Junyu sat next to her and embraced her, "Since it’s an ’if’ it means it’s something that won’t happen, so hypotheticals have no meaning. Besides, I wouldn’t let you and Lanlan be in danger at the same time."

"What if Qinglan and I were really in danger at the same time, and you could only save one, what would you do?"

"Then I would definitely save Lanlan first, and then die with you," Shen Junyu said seriously.

Wen Xiyao’s heart jolted, and she covered Shen Junyu’s eyes with her hands, "You take a joke so seriously, it’s no fun."

Shen Junyu smiled, "We’ve slept all day, are you hungry?" Wen Xiyao touched her stomach and nodded, "Hungry, let’s go out to eat."

"Okay."

Before leaving, Shen Junyu asked Wen Xiyao to wait for a moment, and then a manager-like person walked up to them and handed a USB stick to Shen Junyu, "President Shen, here is what you requested."

"Please tell President Zhao thank you for me," Shen Junyu said warmly. Then he left the clubhouse with Wen Xiyao.

Wen Xiyao looked at the USB in his hand, "Surveillance?"

Shen Junyu nodded, "Although it hasn’t caused some irreparable regrets, there are still some scores to settle."

Wen Xiyao didn’t ask him who drugged him last night, as it was clear enough if you just think about it. Since Shen Junyu planned to handle it himself, she would give him her full trust.

"If you find it hard to do, feel free to ask me for help any time," Wen Xiyao said with a grin, in a playful tone.

Shen Junyu touched her head, "You don’t trust your husband?"

Wen Xiyao gave him a sideways glance, "Who is my husband? I wasn’t aware."

Shen Junyu looked at her, his eyes deep, "Just had your fill and now you want to deny it?"

Wen Xiyao’s ears reddened, and she glared at Shen Junyu, "Just drive properly, I’m starving."

Thank goodness it was the weekend and neither of them had to work. Wen Xiyao and Shen Junyu filled their bellies and went home to rest. She now seriously suspected Shen Junyu had practiced some kind of Yin Yang Replenishing Technique. It was clearly him who had exerted the most effort last night, yet today, she was the one hanging her head, drained as if someone had sucked out all her vigor.

After dropping Wen Xiyao off at her home, Shen Junyu went straight home, dived into his study, and stared at the images on his computer. His expression was grave as he sifted through all the surveillance footage without finding anything suspicious. He called the club’s manager, "Are you sure all the surveillance footage is here?"

The manager’s eyes flickered as he said firmly, "Yes, President Shen, those I gave you are all from last night, not a single one is missing."

The manager, seeing the call had ended, touched his forehead where no cold sweat existed.

Shen Junyu knew the person who had drugged him last night was Chen Su, but without evidence, as long as Chen Su denied it, he was helpless.

Shen Junyu sat in his study for a long time, his thoughts unknown to anyone, until Shen Qinglan called.

"Brother, have you come back?"

Shen Junyu hummed, "What’s the matter?"

"I’ve sent something to your email, take a look," Shen Qinglan said.

Without thinking, Shen Junyu asked, "What is it?" but Shen Qinglan didn’t respond and simply hung up.

When Shen Junyu opened his email and saw what was sent, his face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot.

He grabbed his car keys and stormed out, ignoring Chu Yunrong’s questions behind him, "We’re about to have dinner, where are you going?"

Shen Junyu drove straight to Chen Su’s house. It took a long while before Chen Su came to open the door. Seeing Shen Junyu outside, there wasn’t a trace of fear on her face; instead, she was quite calm.

"You’re here, come in," Chen Su stepped aside to let Shen Junyu enter.

With a cold face, Shen Junyu walked in but didn’t sit down, staring coldly at Chen Su, "Chen Su, I never thought you would do such a thing."

Chen Su’s smile was sorrowful, "Don’t say you didn’t expect it, because even I didn’t. I haven’t slept since returning from the club last night, battling in my mind with two little voices, one despising myself for doing such a shameless thing, the other mocking myself, busy all night making a wedding dress for someone else, only to earn your disdain."

Shen Junyu’s deep eyes darkened, "You are at least honest."

Chen Su chuckled, "You were drugged last night, not amnesic, denial is pointless."

"But Chen Su, I will still not forgive you."

Chen Su nodded, "I know, from the moment Shen Qinglan showed up, I never thought you would forgive me. But Jun Yu, is loving someone a mistake? I just love you too much, I don’t want to lose you, am I wrong for that?"

Shen Junyu looked at her, his gaze grave, "Loving someone isn’t wrong, but the way you went about it was. Chen Su, you should have known long ago that you and I were impossible."

Hearing this, Chen Su’s face suddenly changed, she stared intently at Shen Junyu, "What is possible, what is impossible? Jun Yu, it’s not that there’s no possibility between us, it’s that you never thought about giving me a chance, you never loved me."

"Then why did you do such a thing if you knew?" Shen Junyu asked her.

Chen Su gave a bitter laugh, yes, why still do such a thing when she always knew. If she hadn’t, would she still be friends with Shen Junyu, at least able to greet as a friend, occasionally meet for a meal? But now, she had severed their last bit of affection with her own hands, unable to even find an excuse to accompany him.

Shen Junyu handed a USB drive to Chen Su, "What’s inside this you should understand. If the partnership between Junlan Group and your company is to continue, you must leave your current company, otherwise I will terminate the partnership between us."

Chen Su’s complexion changed, not reaching out to take the USB drive, "Jun Yu, must you be so absolute? I can back out of this project and let other colleagues take over."

"Chen Su, even doing this much is in consideration of our years as classmates," Shen Junyu said.

Chen Su laughed derisively, "People say Shen Junyu appears gentle but is actually more ruthless than some old foxes. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do. I know, I will resign from my current company, you don’t need to terminate the partnership, and I won’t bother you again in the future. Even if we meet on the street, I will pretend I don’t know you."

Shen Junyu left the USB drive on the table, "That’s fine," he said, and then turned to leave.

"Jun Yu." Chen Su stopped him, "Why don’t you love me? How am I inferior to Wen Xiyao? Is it really what others say, because of my family background?"

Shen Junyu didn’t turn around, his back to her, "What you and Xi Yao differ is not the family background, but your hearts. Wen Xiyao loves Shen Junyu, but you love the eldest grandson of the Shen Family, President of Junlan Group Shen Junyu."

"Isn’t that just what you think? How do you know that when you’re no longer the president of Junlan Group, Wen Xiyao will still love you the way she does now, and I won’t continue to love you?"

"Chen Su, this is why you can’t make me like you. I choose my wife solely based on my heart, not on external factors. I’m certain, Xi Yao is the one I want to spend my life with."

With that, Shen Junyu left, leaving Chen Su collapsing to the floor, tears streaming down her face.
