Chapter 21

Throwing the unnecessary things on the coffee table into the trash can, wiping the coffee table with a towel, immersed in her own world, as if she hadn\'t heard the sound of the door opening.

After Lu Lingchuan came in, he didn\'t speak either, just stood at the door watching her, holding something in his hand.

After wiping the coffee table clean, Shen Nian got up and went back into the bedroom again, never looking at Lu Lingchuan.

"Bang!"

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lu Lingchuan\'s gaze finally retracted back to raise his own hand, looking at the little person he was holding.

If Shen Nian saw it, she would be able to recognize it as the "Little Shen Nian" that Jiang Lingling had pinched for her, but on closer inspection it was not the same one again. Jiang Lingling\'s was rougher, while the one in Lu Lingchuan\'s hand was obviously spent more time kneading, and every detail was exquisite, but the hairstyle and clothes were exactly the same as Jiang Lingling\'s.

Gently twisting it, there was also a word written on the back of the white skirt.

Nian.

His eyes turned around the living room and stopped.

The "Little Ling Rui" that Shen Nian had pinched was not completely dry yet, so she had put it in a place where it could get sunlight.

The man walked over in big strides and put the "Little Shen Nian" next to the "Little Ling Rui".

He gently stroked the faces of "Little Shen Nian" and "Little Ling Rui" with his fingertips, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Withdrawing his gaze, he finally turned and walked into the bedroom.

Twisting open the bedroom door, Shen Nian was still tidying up things. Lu Lingchuan went into the bathroom. As he passed the trash can, he suddenly stopped and looked at the things in the trash can with deep eyes.

Looking up, he stared at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian didn\'t know Lu Lingchuan was looking at her. She was sorting clothes, folding up clothes that she didn\'t usually wear and putting them away, picking out all the white dresses and throwing them directly into the trash can.

There were already two tied garbage bags next to them, which were also full of clothes.

Lu Lingchuan\'s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he stared at Shen Nian and asked lightly, "Why did you throw them away?"

Shen Nian\'s voice was also light: "They were clothes from a long time ago, too small to wear, taking up space, so I threw them away."

Is that so?

Lu Lingchuan didn\'t speak, just stared at the white dress in her hand, which she threw into the trash can without hesitation.

She had only bought this skirt less than three months ago. Was it small too?

"Shen Nian," he called her, then asked, "Are you mad at me?"

Shen Nian sneered, "Mr. Lu thinks too much."

Mad? Did she have the right to get mad?

Mr. Lu, she only called him that at work.

Indifferent, aloof, clearly defining their positions.

Lu Lingchuan didn\'t say anything more, just picked up the skirt she had just thrown away, hung it on a hanger, but Shen Nian snatched it from him and threw it back into the trash can.

Lu Lingchuan picked it up, Shen Nian threw it away, the two struggled for several rounds, and finally Shen Nian couldn\'t suppress her emotions anymore and broke down questioning.

"Lu Lingchuan, what exactly do you want to do!"

"It\'s what you want to do!" Lu Lingchuan suppressed his anger.

"I don\'t want it anymore, isn\'t that okay?!" Shen Nian\'s composure completely collapsed at this moment as she broke down shouting, "I hate white, I never want to see this color again!"

Hate white the most... hate white the most!

The white she used to love wearing the most.

Lu Lingchuan\'s eyes suddenly became fierce. He asked her, "Is that so? Is white all you don\'t want?"

Was it not him too?

Lu Lingchuan didn\'t ask this question. He didn\'t dare ask.

Because he didn\'t want to hear the answer.

"Yes!" Shen Nian answered without hesitation.

Although it was such a simple word, at this moment it was like a sharp arrow, hitting his heart accurately, nailing him to the wall.

You don\'t want me, do you?

Yes!

Shen Nian\'s eyes were extremely red, but she was still trying to restrain her sore nose.

She took a deep breath, staring at him with tear-filled red eyes, "Lu Lingchuan, actually I look down on you quite a bit. The grievances between us are between us, and have nothing to do with Miss Liang. But you, while planning to spend the rest of your life with Miss Liang, can\'t be absolutely loyal to her."

It was unclear which word provoked Lu Lingchuan, but the man\'s pupils suddenly shrank, and his body exuded a violent aura and chill.

"Are you going to hit me?" Shen Nian stared into his eyes and asked stubbornly.

"......"

"If you really hate me, could you not hit me? Just strangle me to death." Her voice was light, so light that only Lu Lingchuan could hear it.

"If you strangle me to death, the grievances between us will be written off. You won\'t owe me anything, and I won\'t owe you anything either."

Settled, nothing owed, best not to meet again in the next life.

She closed her eyes and slowly raised her head, exposing her slender neck.

Lu Lingchuan didn\'t speak, but stared intently at her face of resignation.

She wanted to clear up all relations with him so much that she would rather die?!

His hands at his sides clenched into fists, and the veins on the backs of his hands bulged.

At that moment, Lu Lingchuan really wanted to strangle her and then end himself.

End it all!

But...seeing that face, the face he both loved and hated!

"You want to die so much?!" Lu Lingchuan\'s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian opened her eyes, fearless, glaring back at him with equally red eyes.

He glared at her, she glared at him, both very stubborn, neither willing to admit defeat.

In the end it was Lu Lingchuan who backed down first. He looked deeply into Shen Nian\'s eyes, wanting to say something. His lips moved but in the end he didn\'t speak. He turned his head and strode away.

"Bang!"

The bedroom door was slammed shut loudly.

Then it became utterly quiet.

The expression on Shen Nian\'s face was still so stubborn. She sniffed and didn\'t say anything, just continued to find all her white clothes and throw them in the trash can.

Tying up the garbage bag, throw it all away tomorrow!

Until all the white clothes were thrown away, the breath that had been supporting her suddenly disappeared. Shen Nian felt her body start to chill, her legs went weak, and she fell inelegantly onto the carpet.

One hand clutching her chest, breathing a little urgent, her face pale.

....................................

Leaving in anger, Lu Lingchuan took the elevator down and left the building.

He was emitting anger and gloom, his pace very large.

"Boom!"

A roar of thunder suddenly stopped him in his tracks. Lu Lingchuan looked up at the dark night.

The night temperature had dropped a lot, and the cool wind blew on his face, a little damp.

It looked like...it was going to rain.

The next second, as if to confirm Lu Lingchuan\'s guess, there was another "boom", this time accompanied by lightning.

Lightning and thunder.

Immediately after, pea-sized raindrops fell directly down, drenching Lu Lingchuan almost instantly.

Summer was the rainy season, it could be sunny one second and pouring rain the next.
