The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077: I Already Warned You!

After leaving Li Garden, Chen Xirui didn’t know where to go, so she could only wander aimlessly through the streets.

But the weather today was really too hot, with online reports estimating around 37 or 38 degrees Celsius.

In less than an hour of walking the streets, Chen Xirui already felt like she couldn’t take it anymore.

For someone like her, pampered since childhood, to endure such torment was too much, and in the end, she could only seek refuge at Shang Simiao’s place.

When Chen Xirui arrived at Shang Mansion, Shang Simiao was just preparing to leave for work. “Why have you suddenly come?”

Chen Xirui didn’t speak. She bypassed Shang Simiao and went straight to the living room, slumping onto the sofa, her head lowered in dejection.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Chen Xirui’s demeanor, Shang Simiao walked over and sat down opposite her.

“I’m heartbroken!”

“What’s got you heartbroken?”

“Uncle Chu has changed, he doesn’t like me anymore!”

“He does like you, but only as he would a niece. He won’t have any other feelings for you; haven’t I told you that before?”

“I~”

When she had returned, Shang Simiao had already told Xi Rui that Jian Dan had an irreplaceable place in Chu Liyuan’s heart, but Xi Rui had always refused to believe it.

Tears suddenly welled up in Chen Xirui’s eyes. “Wuu~ Uncle Chu said he would take care of me for life, that he would always be good to me.”

“He will~ but that’s all he can give you.

What I want to tell you is to never compare yourself with Jian Dan, because in Chu Liyuan’s heart, Jian Dan will always come first. Never challenge Jian Dan’s status in Chu Liyuan’s heart.”

“But in the past, there was only me, the only girl by Uncle Chu’s side, and he was only nice to me, but now…” Xi Rui said, her mood sinking.

Such a huge psychological gap would be hard for anyone to accept all at once.

“That’s just how you feel. In my opinion, Chu Liyuan has never regarded you as a girl. In his heart, you are just the child of a comrade-in-arms, a younger generation to him, and he treats you as if you were his own child,” Shang Simiao said candidly, not holding anything back.

“Why am I just a child? That Jian Dan is even younger than me!” Xi Rui complained unwillingly.

“Love isn’t something you can confine with age.

Even if he used age as a reason to reject you once, it was just because he had no feelings for you. To him, Jian Dan has never been a little girl, but a woman, and this has nothing to do with being young!”

“What is it that I lack compared to Jian Dan, why does Uncle Chu like her and not me?”

“Jian Dan possesses a special charm that has a peculiar attraction for certain people, making them inexplicably fond of her.”

“You~

You don’t also have feelings for Jian Dan, do you…?” Chen Xirui suddenly turned to Shang Simiao.

“I do like her! It’s just that I was a step too late,” Shang Simiao said without any concealment.

Liking Jian Dan was never a secret in Shang Simiao’s heart, even if the other person was Chu Liyuan, he would say the same.

“What’s so good about Jian Dan!” Xi Rui spoke with a hint of anger.

Why did so many people like Jian Dan?

“Didn’t I just say!

You’re the one who hasn’t spent much time with Jian Dan. If you spend more time with her, maybe you’ll come to like her too!”

“I won’t!” Xi Rui said defiantly, her arms crossed over her chest.

However, not long after at some point in the future, Xi Rui would get a slap in the face by the very words she uttered today.
