"Do you really want to know?"
Unable to resist the persistent Eniel, Su Chen nced at her and asked with a mischievous smile tugging at his lips.
"Of course!"
Under normal circumstances, Eniel wouldn''t ask the kind of questions that only a jealous woman would, but today, upon seeing Lin Ruoxue, she really was stunned!
She had not expected that woman to be so beautiful!
It involuntarily caused Eniel — who had always been extremely proud of her own looks and figure — to feel a small crisis, all the more because Lin Ruoxue, just like him, was from Huaxia!
She knew that Su Chen had always held special feelings for thend of Huaxia. What about the women from Huaxia then? Did he also have special feelings for them?
They say when you care too much, you can''t help but overthink; Eniel couldn''t help but wonder.
"Let me tell you, the most beautiful women are those who don''t get angry or act unreasonably!"
Su Chen said casually:
"For instance, you don''t look as pretty as she does right now."
Upon hearing this, Eniel immediately grew angry again. Had he not been injured, she would have beaten him up!
It must be said that over the past few months, Su Chen''s skill in ttering women had reached new heights.
Before long, Eniel who had been furious, was coaxed into blooming happiness, feeling sweet inside...
Finally, after handling Eniel and getting her to not cling to the issue of his marriage, a huge weight lifted from Su Chen''s heart.
To be honest, Su Chen had been most worried about Eniel not epting his marriage. He even feared she would do something extreme, like killing Lin Ruoxue...
This wasn''t Su Chen being paranoid; given Eniel''s temperament, it was entirely possible!
With his worries set aside, Su Chen naturally became less well-behaved, and a bit frisky — child''s y for him.
Eniel was no Lin Ruoxue. If it weren''t for his injuries, who would have dominated whom was a real question.
After some yful teasing andughter, Eniel asked:
"Between me and Lin Ruoxue, whom do you love more?"
Eniel didn''t care about Su Chen having another woman, considering he had never been faithful in that regard.
What mattered to her was whether he loved her and her ce in his heart!
Su Chen who had just rxed, suddenly found himself with a headache again. What was with Eniel today?
Previously, she would never have asked such questions.
After some thought, Su Chen gravely said:
"Although I love both of you, and would eveny down my life for you without hesitation, my feelings for each of you arepletely different."
"Perhaps, with us, it''s more like a me — bright, fierce, passionate. While with Lin Ruoxue, it''s likepanionship through thick and thin, gentle, like a small bridge over a stream, bringing the warmth of home."
Eniel didn''t know if she should be satisfied with Su Chen''s answer, but she felt an indescribable Mix of emotions in her heart.
"Can you tell me about you and her?"
Eniel asked again.
Su Chen hadn''t expected Eniel to be so concerned about Lin Ruoxue, it seemed she hadn''tpletely epted the reality of his marriage!
"There''s nothing much to say, let''s not talk about it.
Su Chen always felt awkward discussing Lin Ruoxue with Eniel. He stood up and said:
"Let''s go eat instead."
"No, you have to tell me!" Eniel insisted. "If you don''t, then I''ll just have to ask her myself."
With that statement, Su Chen immediately caved in.
It was a joke, for if Eniel really went to ask Lin Ruoxue, heaven knows what would happen!
Left with no choice, Su Chen resignedly began to tell the story of him and Lin Ruoxue:
From the befuddled beginning of their marriage, to the mutual indifference and irritation during cohabitation, and finally to the gradual easing of their rtionship.
Initially, Su Chen had intended just to y along with Eniel, but as he spoke, he found himself involuntarily immersed in the story.
He talked about the little things in their shared life, including making breakfast for her every day, sometimes deliberately teasing her until she got angry, and asionally taking small advantages of her...
As Su Chen was recounting these small details, a contented smile couldn''t help but spread across his face...
As Eniel listened to these things, she couldn''t help feeling a twinge of jealousy towards the woman named Lin Ruoxue!
She finally understood that woman was irreceable in his heart!
However, Eniel didn''t know, wasn''t she herself just as irreceable and unique in Su Chen''s heart?
But after hearing Su Chen''s story, Eniel couldn''t help but widen her eyes in disbelief and ask,
"Your rtionship is like this and yet you still sleep in separate rooms? You''ve never done that kind of thing?"
"She''s not you, she''s a bit of a clean freak, and isn''tpletely ready to ept that kind of thing yet, and I don''t want to force her."
Su Chen responded helplessly with a shrug,
"Besides, I still need to cultivate every night, and if we slept together, it would be somewhat inconvenient."
In fact, if Su Chen didn''t insist on doing that kind of thing, Lin Ruoxue would''ve beenpletely okay with sleeping together.
But for Su Chen to lie beside such a beauty every night only able to hug and hold her, how could that not be a torment?
He decided to just sleep alone.
However, upon hearing Su Chen''s words, Eniel''s face immediately darkened,
"What are you trying to say? Are you implying she is pure and chaste, and I''m loose and immoral?"
"That''s not what I mean."
Su Chen hurriedly exined,
"What I mean is she is more reserved, you are European after all, a bit more open in personality, that''s all."
"That''s more like it." Eniel pouted, unceremoniously scoffing, "How do I feel like your feelings for her are deeper than for me!"
"That''s not true, you are both people I can''t bear to lose!"
Su Chen hugged Eniel tightly and said,
"Stop having such silly thoughts, my affection for you won''t change, never!"
Eniel was particrly susceptible to Su Chen''s sweet nothings, and she quickly lost her anger.
For Eniel, this oue was neither the best nor the worst; things hade to this point, what more could be done?
"Alright, I''m hungry, let''s go eat."
Eniel stood up and said, then walked out, with Su Chen following behind her.
Before leaving, Su Chen nced back at the big bed in the suite, thinking, if he hadn''t been injured today, a passionate battle in bed would have been inevitable.
But Su Chen didn''t want Lin Ruoxue to be upset. When he tentatively asked Lin Ruoxue that question yesterday, her expression had already given him his answer.
Yet he couldn''t possibly sever his ties with Eniel, nor did he truly wish to do so deep down.
Lin Ruoxue and Eniel were like the two sides of his hand, he couldn''t bear to let go of either, perhaps amon plight for men.
This was also another significant reason Su Chen was somewhat avoiding Eniel; when they met, matters between men and women were unavoidable.
Today, although they didn''t do that kind of thing for special reasons, what was meant to happen would always happen before Eniel left.
And when that time came, if Su Chen considered Lin Ruoxue''s feelings and refused, Eniel would certainly be heartbroken, maybe even do something foolish...
Su Chen certainly hoped Lin Ruoxue would ept Eniel''s existence, so he could enjoy the fortune of having both, no longer caught in a dilemma.
But what fortune could ever be easily enjoyed?
Nheless, it was an issue Su Chen ultimately needed to resolve, yet at the moment he had no good solution, he could only take it one step at a time...
