Chapter 1169: Chapter 1196: Jian Family Reunion 3

Shi Nuan found it utterly impossible to speak to Lu Xingshen anymore; she couldn’t believe that this man could be so justified, even at this point, still feeling he was right and that it was only natural.

Perhaps Lu Xingshen thought that being able to treat her specially was her blessing.

She truly was so unlucky to have caught the attention of such a man!

"Lu Xingshen, I don’t want to argue with you." Shi Nuan gave up trying to communicate with him, looking at his handsome face with a heart full of disillusionment, "I’ll just tell you this, we are impossible. Even if Chu Zhan didn’t exist in this world, I still wouldn’t like a man who constantly manipulates me and watches me suffer without lifting a finger."

Lu Xingshen’s mood was unreadable, and in a calm tone, he said, "You can’t not like me. Before Chu Zhan, your world only had me; no one else cared about you, you could only choose me. All of this was my oversight. If I had come back sooner, if I had made things clear earlier, there wouldn’t be so much trouble."

"Lu Xingshen, stop flattering yourself, can you? If I liked you, I would have already liked you in the past; why wait until now? Stop deceiving yourself. You know very well that I don’t like you. If not, why have you never said it? Isn’t it because you’re afraid I would reject you?"

Lu Xingshen pursed his lips, "At first, I planned to wait until you were 20 before confessing to you, but then Chu Zhan took you away. So, Xiao Nuan, Chu Zhan is a thorn in my side. I won’t let him go. Once he disappears from your world, you will see me again."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible," Shi Nuan said firmly. "This has nothing to do with Chu Zhan. Let him go, second uncle. As long as you let him go, I will forget the past, you will still be my second uncle, I will still acknowledge you. Otherwise, I will never forgive you in this lifetime."

Lu Xingshen tugged at his lips, stepping forward abruptly, grabbing Shi Nuan’s shoulders and pressing her against the shelf behind her, meeting her eyes closely with the usual domineering gaze.

"Xiao Nuan, there’s no need to threaten me. You know very well the kind of person I am. What I, Lu Xingshen, want, I must have, and I absolutely will not tolerate anyone defying me. Just like how I guarded you for so many years, only for Chu Zhan, that bastard, to take you away. So why do you think I would let him go, just because you mentioned the second uncle that makes me sick? Do you think I care about you acknowledging me? I only want to be your man!"

"What are you doing, back off." Shi Nuan reached out to push him, uncomfortable with such intimate positioning with Lu Xingshen.

Yet, Lu Xingshen remained as immovable as a mountain, his voice deep, "Xiao Nuan, from the moment you realized I liked you, we could never go back to the way things were.

I know you don’t like me, but I’m a patient man. I can wait for you for a decade, or even a lifetime. As long as you marry me, I have more than enough patience to make you truly like me.

Even if you hate me now, dislike me, I don’t care. What I want is a future with you, to always watch over you, not your forgiveness now."

"You!" Shi Nuan’s eyes widened suddenly, feeling unease.

He pinched her chin, drawing out a wicked and cold smile like a demon from hell, "If you want me to let Chu Zhan go, there’s only one way: marry me immediately."

"Impossible, anything but that, and I can agree."
