So… he had never felt anything for her.
Sheng Yue straightened her back even more, and her movements became more natural. She propped her head up and smiled. “Of course.”
“Why?”
“If I don’t marry him, will you marry me?”

Han Jingyu was stunned by Sheng Yue’s question. After a long while, his gaze turned colder. “I thought you were at least motivated. It looks like I’ve been wrong all along.”
Sheng Yue felt her chest constrict under his gaze, but the corners of her lips curled up.
This was her last bit of stubbornness.

Although Yan City was located in the middle of the city, as mid-winter descended, it became colder and colder. There was no snow at all, and it was the kind of cold that made the air dry.
It was almost the new year. While everyone was busy buying and selling new year goods, a piece of news spread among the rich. It even went on the front page of the newspapers.

The Sheng family’s second daughter, Sheng Yue, seemed to be getting engaged to Han Bainian.
There were all kinds of groundless accusations, but they sounded very reasonable.
Who was Han Bainian? Come to think of it, Han Bainian was Han Jingyu’s uncle. In the earlier years, he was tyrannical and unrestrained. He didn’t get along with the Han family and left home very early.
Who would have thought that after leaving for so many years, he would actually make a name for himself in the capital and even hold an important position?
The Han family’s business situation was already going downhill, so they shamelessly invited him back.
It was also after he returned that Sheng Yue took the initiative to invite him to a gathering. It was then he had expressed his interest in Sheng Yue.
Based on the current situation, Han Bainian was indeed very powerful. He was the best choice for Sheng Yue, who was in dire straits and not favored by any wealthy family.
However… Han Bainian was more than ten years older than Sheng Yue. Moreover, he had been married twice. This was not something an ordinary family could accept. However, Sheng Yue actually agreed. The Sheng family also felt that this deal, no, this marriage was not bad.
[Sheng Yue is so scheming.]
[If I were her, I would have made the same choice. Otherwise, won’t I have to suffer in the future?]
The socialite circle was filled with discussions, and the group chat for Yan City High School’s students was also full of discussions. Of course… they had all avoided Sheng Yue and started a small group chat.
Fang Duo was sitting on the swing next to Sheng Yang, playing. When she saw this news, she was shocked. Then, she couldn’t help but complain, “Isn’t this just like that novel I often read? It’s that trope—if I can’t be your wife, then I’ll be your aunt.”

“…” Sheng Yang tilted her head, indicating that she didn’t understand what Fang Duo was saying.
“Sheng Yue and Han Jingyu. Don’t you know? She likes Han Jingyu.”
“Oh.” Sheng Yang held a paintbrush in her hand and continued to paint on the canvas. Her artistic temperament was deep.
Fang Duo was a little anxious. “Yangyang, don’t tell me you never knew about it? Sheng Yue used to target you mainly because of Han Jingyu. Han Jingyu likes you.”
Sheng Yang paused. Fang Duo was hoping that she would react, but she said slowly, “Don’t move or I won’t be able to paint properly.”
“…Yangyang, aren’t you being too cold? There’s something wrong with your thinking. Besides, this is your admirer we’re talking about. I’ll say it again, Han Jingyu likes you.”
Sheng Yang focused on her painting. “What does it have to do with me?”
“…” Fang Duo gave up completely.
If there was a handsome man like Han Jingyu who liked her, she would be so excited that she wouldn’t sleep for three days straight.
But Yangyang was Yangyang. Having a state of heart that was like still water was not something anyone could do.
So… he had never felt anything for her.
Sheng Yue straightened her back even more, and her movements became more natural. She propped her head up and smiled. “Of course.”
