But then again, Shi Yutingâs mother did mention that before.
Because of Shi Yutingâs identity, with his grandfatherâs power, he would definitely get rid of her like pulling out weeds when he knew that his grandson was with a woman with no status.
She thought back to his grandfather carrying out Xiang Yiâs punishment despite his injuries, yet his cold expression was unmoving. It was indeed expectable of him to kill her.
âWeiyi! Please believe me. Just run, if youâre gone, my grandfather will probably forget about you,â To protect her, Shi Nuannuan was extremely distressed. She was even pulling her towards the gate entrance.
Yet Zuo Weiyi pulled her back.
âNuannuan.â
Shi Nuannuan turned her head, her expression riddled with anxiety.
âI donât want to leave like this, he hasnât wake up...â
âWeiyi!â Shi Nuannuan grew more anxious. She understood Shi Leâs behaviour well. If he wanted one thing done, he would do it quick. If she did not leave at this moment, then it would be too late!
âWhy do you want to wait for him to wake up?! You and him, itâs impossible! Did you understand?!â
Zuo Weiyi was stunned. Shi Nuannuanâs words indeed hit the bullâs eye.
She and Shi Yuting were impossible, it was true.
But why was she so unwilling to leave?
All of her aims were achieved and she could leave, but...
She fell in love with this man.
As soon as Shi Nuannuan saw her stunned expression, she noticed that her words were too cruel.
However, if they waited any longer, her life would be gone! Was that really worth it for an unfruitful relationship?
Although she wished that the woman her brother would marry is Weiyi, she was clear that it is impossible.
After hearing about her motherâs experience, she knew that her grandfather would never accept Weiyi, especially during this crucial period.
The marriage with Tangteng family was unavoidable, the only destiny Weiyi would face is to leave.
âI know,â Zuo Weiyi lowered her head and forced a bitter smile.
âWeiyi... I, I donât mean it. You know that I want you to be with my brother more than anyone, but... If you continue to stay here, youâll lose your life!â
Tears rolled down Shi Nuannuanâs cheeks out of distress, but most of the emotion in her tears were the unbearable pain from their separation.
âBut I donât want to do this, I donât want to just leave... Even if I lose my life, I still want to wait for him to wake up.â
She was thinking that if he woke up and she was nowhere to be found, would he search for her?
Would he?
Would he feel anxious if he did not see her?
âWeiyi...â Shi Nuannuan was baffled by her words.
Just to wait for her brother to wake up, she could throw away her life?
âRunning away?â
At this instant, a sickeningly sweet voice butt in.
Both of them turned their head towards the voice and saw Tangteng Xi walking down the stairs with a high-and-mighty expression.
Looking at the two people, Tangteng Xi curled her lips into a mocking smile. She walked towards them with her hand crossed in front of her chest.
âNuannuan, grandfather wonât be happy if he knows that youâre helping a stranger.â
Looking at her smug grin, Shi Nuannuan could not help but returned a cold scoff, âStranger? For me, you and grandpa are the strangers!â
âYou!â
Upon hearing her retort, Tangteng Xi was so enraged that she could not reply anything else.
âNuannuan! Stop being preposterous!â
A stern voice yelled from the top of the stairs.
She turned around and saw Shi Le walking down the stairs with other people, his expression was stone-cold and his gaze was filled with reprimand.
