Chapter 615. Compromise (2)
When he finished, Shen Wenna felt a heaviness in her chest. Suddenly, she felt a pang of sadness, yet she did not say anything.
Xi Mushan looked down at the two fallen leaves by her feet with a bleak and lonely expression. The air around him felt so sorrowful that she could feel it. She lifted a hand to fix the windbreaker as she contemplated for a moment, then slowly said, “I’m not forcing you to leave either. Some things take time to straighten out, but even if we try hard, some things cannot go back to how it was.”
“Then, we’ll start now. What’s so bad about that? If you’re still willing, I don’t mind courting you again, just like how I did back then. Push away all the unhappiness. The children are all grown up now, so we can start a new life too.”
When he heard Shen Wenna, a flicker of hope appeared in Shen Wenna’s eyes as he fixed her eyes on her.
After a long silence, Shen Wenna still did not answer him. She just calmly looked up and called for her little poodle that was playing not too far away. “Little Apple, come here! While the weather’s good, let Grandfather clean you up. You stink now!”
Upon hearing Shen Wenna’s voice, the pampered and playful Little Apple eagerly scampered over and rushed to Shen Wenna’s feet before climbing onto Shen Wenna’s lap. She carefully petted it then turned to say to Xi Mushan, “Give Little Apple a bath. Last night, he smelled when he climbed into my blanket. I think he must have gotten something on him.”
As Xi Mushan looked down at Little Apple that lay on Shen Wenna’s lap and enjoyed her petting with its eyes narrowed, he could not help but feel a little jealous.
Xi Mushan could not even compare to this pet on her lap!
“Then, let him sleep with me tonight. Your sight is an inconvenience. This little thing’s claws are quite sharp. It’d be bad if you’re hurt.”
