Chapter 723: Chapter 729: We Are Different.
When Shang Dongyuan said those words, Wen Yaonan immediately sensed something was wrong!
This guy must have figured out that he was the person Lou Xining had been looking for all along...
Although a man should take responsibility for his actions, it was Lou Xinyu who seduced him first!
Now she was pushing all the blame onto him, making him out to be a villain. How could he dare to admit to anything?
Wen Yaonan’s face fell. Knowing he couldn’t keep it hidden any longer, he slumped into the chair with a long sigh.
"Who hasn’t had their reckless youth? That night was clearly consensual. Who knew she’d not only forget me but also accuse me of coercion? How could I explain that? I, the notorious playboy of A City, wanted any woman I chose. Would I need to force her?"
Women are truly strange creatures. Wen Yaonan remembered clearly that Lou Xinyu had come to him willingly that night.
He had only half-heartedly followed through. Yet, all these years later, the entire fault was pinned on him?
This is absurd...
Of course, Shang Dongyuan had no idea how things happened between Wen Yaonan and Lou Xinyu. But hearing Wen Yaonan’s account, he frowned, "You have feelings for her?"
"No!" Wen Yaonan denied it quickly, as if he didn’t even need to think about it.
After he said that, Wen Yaonan inexplicably felt a bit guilty. He looked at Shang Dongyuan, racking his brains to elicit some sympathy and understanding from him, "Think about you and Chu Nian. Didn’t you forget what she looked like after one night? Maybe the girl is still looking for you in every corner of the world! You didn’t even tell her your name back then... Aren’t we both unlucky brothers with similar experiences?"
Wen Yaonan just wanted Shang Dongyuan’s sympathy so that he would help keep his secret.
Unexpectedly, his words hit a nerve with Shang Dongyuan.
Chu Nian.
He had been looking for her for five years.
In the past, he would often think of that woman when he had nothing to do.
But now...he suddenly became interested in Chu Xiaoge. He thought about her and wanted to see her.
This...made Chu Nian seem less important.
"We are not the same," Shang Dongyuan shook his head, his expression turning sour, and raised his glass, draining it in one gulp.
Wen Yaonan was momentarily stunned...
Alright, indeed they were different.
He was just messing around, while Shang Dongyuan...
The two fell silent for a while before an assistant entered, standing beside Shang Dongyuan and said, "Mr. Shang, Miss Chu has finished dining in the cafeteria, but..."
"But what?" Shang Dongyuan subconsciously frowned and looked at the assistant.
"But Miao Miao spilled soup on the roses you sent to Miss Chu. Miss Chu seemed very upset and took each rose back to her office after carefully wiping them dry."
Hearing this, Shang Dongyuan fell into silence once more.
Miao Miao? The one who bullied Chu Xiaoge this morning.
"You mean she took every rose back after wiping them dry?"
"Yes."
"I understand. You can leave now and keep watching." A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Shang Dongyuan’s lips, one that seemed very satisfied.
Knowing she cherished the things he sent her brought Shang Dongyuan great joy.
"Mr. Shang, do you want...?" The assistant wanted to ask if Mr. Shang wanted to reprimand Miao Miao, but Shang Dongyuan declined.
"No need, just keep an eye on her secretly."
"Understood, Mr. Shang." The assistant nodded and left.
