Chapter 1396 - 1238: We’re Getting Married Tomorrow_3
Even though the other person is Yu Dou, whom she dislikes greatly.
But precisely because it is Yu Dou, she can say that if it were someone else, her affection must be buried underground forever, unseen by light.
She reached out to scratch her messy long hair, and a bitter smile appeared on her crimson lips.
"Once upon a time, when I was much younger, I would often follow him around with Xiao Chuan. Although he didn’t really pay much attention to us, especially to me. Perhaps because I was a girl, he always felt it was troublesome.
At that time, I really wished I were a boy, so that I could play with him like Xiao Chuan did, accompany him without being disliked...
Later, when I hit puberty, I learned another meaning of like, and I was thankful that I was a girl. I thought that this way, I could like him, like him as a lover.
But the funny thing is, I have another identity, and that is as his niece. This identity doomed me that whether as a boy or a girl, I was never qualified to like him in another identity..."
Song Qingyang’s tears fell down, she wiped them away, sniffing. "I am the eldest Miss of the Song Family, the daughter of the Song Family’s CEO. This identity has been envied and jealous by many since I was young, but do they ever know how much I hate my identity, how much I wish I weren’t born in the Song Family, weren’t Song Zhongming’s daughter, weren’t Song Yansheng’s niece...
I don’t like Shi Nuan, I didn’t like her from the first glance, especially knowing she was the person Second Uncle thinks of. I disliked her even more. Yes, after Shen Zui left, it was I who encouraged my brother to approach Shi Nuan, I who told my brother to propose to Shi Nuan, I who let him ask Second Uncle to give Shi Nuan to him. All of it was done by me...
But so what? Heaven is unfair to me, can I not fight for something for myself? No one doesn’t long for happiness. I long for it, too, I wish the person I love could love me, but it can’t be. What should I do, what should I do... tell me, what can I do..."
Yu Dou listened placidly without interrupting her, allowing her to cry, shed tears, complain, and release her grievances.
Waiting until she finished speaking, he calmly opened up, saying: "How can you say there’s nothing you can do? Falling in love with someone, ten or even twenty years, so what? There are more than just one man in this world..."
"But there’s only one man named Song Yansheng..." Song Qingyang said. "You wouldn’t understand, no, you don’t understand at all. Even if Shi Nuan were not with Second Uncle it’s impossible for you to have Shi Nuan, do you know why? Because you are too cold-hearted, and women, especially a girl like Shi Nuan with a rough fate, need warmth most. Whoever gives her warmth, she’ll fall for them... Shen Zui is, Xiao Chuan is, and now Second Uncle is..."
After speaking, she laughed. "A stinky girl who only knows how to selfishly draw warmth from others, is actually worthy of your eager affection? Each of you must be crazy, utterly crazy... Especially Second Uncle, he likes her so much, likes her so much, for her sake, he disregarded the Song Family’s reputation, his own reputation, married Shi Nuan without a second thought... not a hint of hesitation!"
Yu Dou didn’t respond immediately, instead lit a cigarette and took a few puffs.
White smoke softly rose, swirling around their facial features under the dimness.
After a while, Yu Dou softly spoke, "Don’t you want to know why we like Shi Nuan?"
Song Qingyang turned her eyes to him.
Yu Dou said, "Actually, Miss Song, in terms of appearance, you’re not much inferior to Shi Nuan. In terms of family background, Shi Nuan certainly can’t compare to you. But there’s one aspect where you’ll never surpass her, and that is: no matter at any time, never forgetting the nature of kindness!"
Yu Dou took a breath and continued, "Actually, my liking for Shi Nuan isn’t for any special reason. It’s just because I feel this girl is cold on the outside, warm on the inside, gentle and aloof, outwardly strong, inwardly fragile, seemingly resolute yet actually warm and kind... She stirs pity, makes one want to protect, makes one unable to resist!"
Song Qingyang frowned deeper, she shook her head. "Crazy... you and Second Uncle are the same, also crazy, you’re all crazy, all crazy..."
"Maybe so, but compared to your Second Uncle, I have one difference: he acts while I don’t like meddling, disliking trouble... So, Miss Song, if in the future you can’t confirm whether my affections for you compare or exceed those for Shi Nuan, it’s best not to stir trouble for me, understand?"
