Xu Muyun had just finished speaking when he heard Sheng Jianan frown and start to speak.
After a light cough, he explained, "Back when Mr. Sheng announced your engagement with Miss Tang, one day you got dead drunk, do you remember?"
"Then I went to find her and told her that there was someone in your heart, someone unmovable, hoping she would know the difficulties and retreat, not to waste her feelings on you, burden you further, or delay herself. At the time, I saw that she looked quite upset, thought she would back off, but it seemed to have had no effect."
Others interfering in his affairs was something Sheng Jianan found very repugnant, but he understood why Xu Muyun did it. As brothers, they all knew there was a "her" in Sheng Jianan’s heart, and only Xu Muyun clearly understood what "she" meant to Sheng Jianan.
That’s why he would help him , even knowing that Sheng Jianan’s character would surely object.
Raising his hand to clink glasses with Xu Muyun, Sheng Jianan smiled mockingly, "She tried so hard to marry in, flattering the old man to the point of being stunned. It’s not so easy to retreat. Do you think everyone is as gentle and sensible as your wife?"
"So what are you going to do? The marriage is already set, a done deal?"
Sheng Jianan’s lips curved slightly, as he leaned his body languidly against the back of the sofa, "As long as I don’t want it, it’s not considered a marriage. I’ll first pacify the old man, and as for Tang Yanqi... there’s only one Young Madam Sheng."
When he said the last sentence, a cold glint flashed in Sheng Jianan’s eyes.
Yes, there is only one Young Madam Sheng. That person is his light, his goddess.
Xu Muyun looked at his friend, feeling a bit of a sigh. Everyone saw Sheng Jianan as arrogant and haughty, invincible. Everyone saw Sheng Jianan as a being gathering a myriad of starlights, an untouchable presence, but few knew that such a person had experienced a period of darkness.
At seventeen, Sheng Jianan was blinded due to retinal damage and nerve injury from an accident, and after receiving top-tier surgery in the United States, he was sent back home to recuperate.
At that time, no one dared to be certain that Sheng Jianan’s eyesight would recover. Many doctors had already informed the Sheng Family that the chances of Sheng Jianan’s eyesight recovering were very, very small.
A prodigious youth, elevated to the utmost from a young age, suddenly faced such a blow everywhere.
Everyone knows the saying "strong-willed despite physical impairment," but how many can truly achieve that? During that period, Sheng Jianan’s temper became unbearably irritable. He stayed alone in the villa, not allowing anyone in without his permission, not even the Sheng Family members.
And such irritability and fluctuating emotions would only worsen his condition. Later, his light appeared, and three months after that, Sheng Jianan’s eyes miraculously healed. In medical terms, it was simply a miracle.
From that moment on, the Crown Prince of the Sheng Family, who had never cared about anyone, had a concern in his heart. Upon learning about this, Xu Muyun was curious as to what kind of person could tame Sheng Jianan, what kind of person could make this man, who had always been self-important, remember endlessly.
It’s just a pity that since his eyes recovered, Sheng Jianan had never seen that person again. The only information he had was that the person was a woman, a very gentle woman.
