School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 470 - 471: I Bear Grudges

Jiang Yu glanced at her and said, "I just came to tell you that I left some food in the refrigerator for you. If you’re hungry, just heat it up in the microwave. I’m leaving now!"

The next morning, when Jiang Yu came over with breakfast and knocked on the door, he found that they had already eaten.

Shen Tan had made breakfast herself early that morning.

"Thank you, but they have already eaten," Shen Tan said, looking at the breakfast in his hands.

"That’s okay."

Shen Tan then said, "By the way, it’s good that you’re here. There’s something I need to tell you. I’ve been quite busy lately, so I’ve found a nanny to take care of them. The nanny will be here this afternoon, so you won’t have to bother coming over every day to cook for them."

The nanny would mainly be responsible for picking them up from school and making them dinner, as the children would eat at school during noon. Previously, Shen Tan had managed all this herself, but after Jiang Yu had moved in, he had taken over these responsibilities.

But Shen Tan no longer wanted to trouble him.

Jiang Yu furrowed his brows slightly, his expression dark and inscrutable as he looked at her. "Shen Tan, have I done something recently to upset you?"

He had sensed a change in her attitude since last night.

She was deliberately distancing herself.

"No," Shen Tan said.

He hadn’t done anything to upset her; if anything, it signified that he shouldn’t show up anymore. Remembering the incident with the dress reminded her that she should sever all ties with the past, no longer entangling themselves.

"I see you must also be busy with work, and it’s not good always to trouble you. Don’t worry, the nanny comes highly recommended by a friend and is very experienced. She will take good care of the two of them."

"But I don’t feel bothered by this."

Jiang Yu didn’t believe nothing was wrong, as their relationship had seemed to improve recently. But now, her attitude towards him had suddenly turned cold. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Shen Tan said, "I just feel that since we’ve broken up, continuing this way isn’t right. After all, I plan to get married in the future. If a boyfriend were to find out that my ex-boyfriend is frequently in and out of my house, he might get the wrong idea."

"You have a boyfriend?" Jiang Yu was taken aback, his mood suddenly complex. Hearing her talk about getting married filled him with an inexplicable fury, as if a fire was burning inside his chest.

Shen Tan spoke indifferently: "Not at the moment, but eventually I will. After all, I’m still young. You don’t think I’ll never marry in my life, do you?"

Jiang Yu stared at her fixedly and said, "Since you’re so eager to get married, why don’t you just give me the children? Without the children, it would probably be easier for you to find someone else."

He tried to keep his voice calm, but his words were laced with bitterness.

In the past, Shen Tan would have snapped back angrily, but this time, she simply said, "You’re right, it’s indeed hard to find someone willing to take on two children, but ever since I decided to have them, I never thought about giving them up. I believe there will always be someone willing to accept them. No matter what, I’m not going to give you the children."

As soon as he spoke, Jiang Yu regretted it; he had come to mend their relationship, not to exacerbate the conflict.

Looking at Shen Tan in front of him, he tried to calm himself: "If you just want to get married, why can’t you marry me? I am the children’s father, and no one could be better for them than I."

Shen Tan looked up at him and said, "Probably because I hold grudges. I remember the good you do to me, but I remember even more the wrongs."

Betrayed trust could only happen once.
