Chapter 22 Not in Her Heart
Xue Chenkongâs Red lips moved up and down a few times as he wanted to remind Shen Manting to look at him, but in the end, he didnât say anything.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Grand View Mansion.
Shen Manting got out of the car with a heavy heart, thinking about her brother. She didnât notice the reaction of the people behind her. When she finally came to her senses, she turned to look at the cold Xue Chenkong behind her. She couldnât help but frown. âWhatâs wrong?â
When Shen Manting turned around, Xue Chenkongâs dark eyes disappeared for a second. He said in a wronged tone, âAh Ting, you gave me the cold shoulder just nowâ¦â
Shen Manting rubbed her head helplessly in the face of such a man. âI wasnât neglecting you. I was just thinking about somethingâ¦â she said.
âWhat is it?â Xue Chenkong asked directly. He didnât like it when Shen Manting kept things from him. Every time he realized how small a spot in her heart he occupied compared to her parents, brothers, career, and friends in her heart, he wanted to destroy everything!
Shen Manting was startled by the malicious look in his eyes. She said carefully, âWhatâs wrong with you?â She knew that he couldnât drink. Once he drank, he would easily lose control of his emotions. She had been worried for a long time. Was he going to have a relapse now?
Seeing Shen Manting frightened by him, Xue Chenkong erased the menacing look in his eyes, and they instantly became clear. âAh Ting, I know you canât bear to leave your parents, but donât worry. I will love you well. What they can give you, I can do it too. I might even do better than them and love you more.â
Xue Chenkong had said that seriously, but Shen Manting laughed. âNo one will love me more than my parents. Your love is different from their love.â
Seeing that she did not believe him, Xue Chenkong immediately became anxious. âMy life is yours. They canât say the same!â
Shen Mantingâs smile disappeared. In her opinion, Xue Chenkongâs love for her was just a stubborn possessiveness. She knew that for some with autism, they would have a great desire to possess someone or something and wouldnât allow others to touch it. So, it was not love. If one day he could not have her, he would destroy everything. Her dream had also verified that point. âAh Ting, you donât believe me? It doesnât matter. I will prove it to you sooner or later.â Xue Chenkong suddenly picked her up and walked toward the living room.
âWhat are you doing?!â As Shen Manting had her body suddenly lifted in the air, her face turned pale, and she was so frightened that she quickly put her arms around his shoulders.

Xue Chenkong laughed. âI wanted to hold you like this just now, Ah Ting. You must be tired from being out the whole day. Let me bathe you, okay?â
As Shen Manting heard that, her face immediately turned red. âI can wash myself! âshe cried.
Xue Chenkongâs face was filled with disappointment. âBut I want to wash you, Ah Tingâ¦â
âIâm not a child! I donât want you to bathe me.â Shen Manting was a little annoyed.
âAll right⦠â Xue Chenkong said regretfully.
Shen Manting couldnât understand why the man was so keen on bathing her, but she didnât know that before she could remember, it had always been Xue Chenkong who bathed her.
When Shen Manting got down from Xue Chenkongâs body, she took the gifts and went back to her room. After all, she was still a girl and looked forward to opening gifts. Xue Chenkong followed her and suddenly stepped forward to snatch the gifts from her hands.
âWhy did you snatch my bag?â Shen Manting asked in shock.
Xue Chenkong held her hand and said with a smile, âIâll open it with you. This is our wedding gift from your brothers.â
Shen Manting gave him a strange look, musing âHeâs really shameless. Itâs what my brothers gave me!â
As soon as they entered the room, Xue Chenkong began to violently open the gifts. Shen Mantingâs heart ached when she saw him. She couldnât help but say, âSlow down, donât break my presentsâ¦â
Xue Chenkong pursed his lips and pushed all the gifts over. âHere you go.â Shen Manting was taken aback. Realizing that her attitude toward him had been bad, she apologized, âI didnât do it on purpose just now. I was just a little anxious⦠â Shen Manting said as she looked at Xue Chenkong, who was looking at her with an aggrieved expression. She had no choice but to awkwardly open the gifts herself.
Her eldest brother, Shen Manyang, had given her a mansion worth 100 billion dollars. Her second brother, Shen Manxun, had given her a set of jewelry that was the only one in the world. Her third brother, Shen Mancheng, had given her seven 10-carat colored diamonds. Her fourth brother, Shen Manxuan, had purchased a private customization shop to contract her clothes for the rest of her life. Her fifth brother, Shen Manheng, was an aerospace engineer, so he had named the asteroid after her. Her sixth brother, Shen Manzhou, was an actor, so he had molded a set of porcelain dolls for her. They were all in her appearance, whether they were happy or angry. Her seventh brother, Shen Manming, had drawn a set of portraits of her birthday every year from her birth until now, and his name was written on every portrait.
