“A man who engages in such evasive and irresponsible behaviour either doesn’t value that woman at all or is weak and incompetent,” he asserted.
“So, regardless of the reason, you won’t have a positive outcome. You’ll either be abandoned after spending all your money or betrayed,” Su Wen remarked with a nonchalant shrug.
Yao Fang’s legs gave way, and she fell to the ground with a thud. However, Su Wen showed no sympathy. “Running away with someone is not a decision a wise woman would make. Only a deceitful man with ill intentions would trick an innocent girl into eloping with him. You’re not young anymore. How can you be so easily deceived?”
As Su Wen spoke, she couldn’t help but cast a glance at her two younger sisters, Su Xiu and Su Qing, who trembled and leaned against the corner like frightened rabbits.
“Mm… Big Sis is too scary!”
Yao Fang gritted her teeth and responded defiantly, “He’s an honest man and treats me very well. He waited for me for many years. Moreover… I’m only 26 years old this year. How can I be considered old?”
Women couldn’t stand being called old, so Yao Fang didn’t back down.
This time, Su Wen was genuinely surprised. She blurted out without thinking, “You’re only 26 years old. How did you end up with my Second uncle and Third uncle?”
The room fell into a strange silence. Su Qing and Su Xiu simultaneously covered their mouths with their hands.
Zhou Hengyang, feeling helpless, held his forehead and pressed his hand on Su
Wen’s head. “Stop talking. You dare to say anything.”
“I…” Su Wen stammered, “I was just stating the truth.”
“Su Wen… You’re too much.” Yao Fang was so angry that she was on the verge of tears. She had never been so enraged by someone pointing at her and scolding her so harshly.
“No, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean to say that your lifestyle is bad. What I meant is that even if you want to find a man, you have to look for someone young and good-looking, someone around your age. Why are you going for my Third uncle and Second uncle? They don’t have money, don’t have connections; they are like old men…”
“I hate you.” Yao Fang ran away in tears, looking extremely disheartened.
The room fell into a suffocating silence. Only then did Su Wen realize that she seemed to have said something she shouldn’t have. Zhou Hengyang had already withdrawn his hand from her head and was now looking at her with an ashen face. His gaze was inexplicably intense and somewhat aggrieved.
Su Wen wondered if she had gone a little too far.
In the afternoon, she was abnormal, not in the right state to begin with, and now she was digging her own grave.
She was truly testing his patience!
“Hengyang, I was just talking nonsense. You know I love you the most,” Su Wen tried to remedy the situation with a fawning smile. “Look into my eyes. When I look at you, don’t my eyes sparkle?”
“Haha!” Zhou Hengyang sneered. “Isn’t that because of my age and good looks?
Would you still like me if I wasn’t young anymore?”
“Of course I will, I definitely will,” Su Wen assured, patting her chest. “When you’re old, I will be older than you. I was afraid that you wouldn’t love me anymore! Women age faster than men.” “I won’t,” Zhou Hengyang murmured.
“What do you mean?” Su Wen didn’t hear him.
“When you’re old, I’ll love you just as much as I do now.” Zhou Hengyang’s gaze was resolute. He gently held Su Wen’s small hand in his large palm. “Can you tell me what happened to you this afternoon? Why did you suddenly do that?” he asked..
