Chapter 1229: Why Did You Abandon Him and the Child? (9)
“Why?”
Lu Yanzhi could not understand. He and Shen Yiren were not close at all. It just happened that when they were younger, Lu Yanchen and Chu Mubei used to bully her and so as the eldest brother, he had to teach those two rascals a thing or two. He had to stop them from bullying their younger sister.
On the other hand, Su Qianxun and he had been through life and death situations together. He even almost lost his life for her yet he still could not move her heart and make her love him.
Shen Yiren curiously asked, “What do you mean by why? I really meant it when I said I liked you. Do I need a reason for liking someone?”
Lu Yan Zhi was speechless. “…”
Although there was no such thing as loving someone for no reason, liking someone really needed no reason at all.
When you are attracted to someone, liking them suddenly becomes a mysterious and indescribable feeling. Liking someone is just simply liking someone. When you like someone, everything about them would become the reason that you like them—even their flaws could be a reason.
On the other hand, if you have no likings for a specific person, everything they do becomes some sort of burden even if they meant well.
“But I don’t have the same feelings as you do. I only see you as a younger sister. It would be conducting incest if I tried out a relationship with you.”
Shen Yiren was frightened off by the last shocking word he said. She stuttered, “What? Incest… But you are not my real brother?”
Lu Yanzhi strictly and seriously said, “In my heart, you are a younger sister to me.”
Shen Yiren was frustrated to death. She tried to resist rolling her eyes. “We are not even related by blood. How could I just become your real younger sister? Even if you treated me as one, it does not mean that I’m related to you by blood…”
“More importantly, I have someone I like.” Lu Yanzhi cut off her words by throwing in this sentence.
Shen Yiren was speechless and froze up right on the spot.
Then, she tried to deny it again and was not willing to believe when she said, “It can’t be! If you really have someone you like, then why aren’t you married to her?”
“Liking her doesn’t mean I have to marry her,” Lu Yanzhi lightly replied.
“Then, not liking me has no relation to marrying me either.” Shen Yiren took the chance to twist his words.
“I will never be with you.” Lu Yanzhi’s tone was calm yet it also meant that there were no chances for discussion as his words brought forth an intolerable sense of dominance.
Shen Yiren raised her head and looked at the man who looked as calm as the water. Her eyes had a hint of sadness, defeat, frustration, hurt—every type of negative and terrible feeling possible.
“Anyway, I don’t believe it. Big brother, you are definitely lying to me. Also, we had intimate contact before, so you have to take responsibility for it.” At that moment, despite the strong front she showed, her voice clearly showed her lack of confidence.
“Intimate contact?” Lu Yanzhi’s head throbbed in pain before he looked at her and pleaded for verification. “Since when did I have intimate contact with you?”
Shen Yiren confirmed with a strict tone, “When I was seven years old, you hugged me and even allowed me to kiss your face.”
Lu Yanzhi was immediately caught between laughter and tears. “I am not a pedophile and have zero interest in little children. At that time, I purely regarded you as my younger sister. That was only a kiss shared between family.”
“But it was not a kiss shared between family to me. It was a kiss that represented the passion of love. Since you kissed me, you have to take responsibility. Big Brother, you basically grew up in the military ever since you were young, and you know well how the military is most particular about responsibility. They would definitely not allow one to become unfaithful!” Shen Yiren strongly emphasized.
