How could Yu Dou possibly like Shi Nuan?

Yu Dou is Shi Nuan’s uncle!

But on second thought, why couldn’t it be?

Yu Dou is Li Guirong’s cousin, and Li Guirong is Shi Nuan’s stepmother. Yu Dou and Shi Nuan are not related by blood.

Just like Second Uncle and Shi Nuan, they even got married!

Song Qingyang couldn’t speak, but Yu Dou still smiled and said, "So, Miss Song, you and I really are in the same boat, don’t you think?"

In the same boat?

Is it because the people they like are already married, with untouchable taboos?!

But Yu Dou is completely different from her; he has a chance!

Song Qingyang bit her lip and said, "Since you like Shi Nuan, why marry me? And why haven’t you expressed your feelings to Shi Nuan all these years? Is this what you call liking someone?"

If, if at the beginning, Yu Dou had taken action towards Shi Nuan, Yu Dou was not Shen Zui or brother Xiao Chuan.

Once he got Shi Nuan, even Second Uncle might have had no way to intervene.

Second Uncle couldn’t get Shi Nuan, and she wouldn’t be in such pain now, would she?

Yu Dou laughed, "It’s very simple, I married Miss Song so that you could focus and stop fantasizing about things you shouldn’t. This way, Nuannuan and Song Yansheng’s life could be a bit more peaceful... Well, in this regard, I’m much more noble than Miss Song. At least, I’ve never thought of destroying someone else’s happiness!"

"Happiness?" Song Qingyang sneered, "Do you really think Second Uncle and Shi Nuan being together would result in happiness? Shi Nuan doesn’t love Second Uncle at all; she can’t forget Shen Zui. Being with her will only hurt Second Uncle. There’s no way she could make Second Uncle happy. Moreover, her identity can’t be changed. Once her relationship with Second Uncle is exposed in the future, you know what the consequences would be..."

"What are the consequences?" Yu Dou asked lightly.

Song Qingyang blinked, seemingly at a loss for words.

Yu Dou said, "In the world of wealthy families, a bit of gossip is normal. Even if everything is exposed in the future, it’s just idle talk among the masses. Besides that, what else is there? But Miss Song, have you ever thought that if one day your feelings for that man are exposed, it would truly be a laughingstock and disgrace the Song Family’s reputation!"

Song Qingyang frowned, her face turning unpleasant, "What do you know? You know nothing!"

Yu Dou gave a thin smile and said, "I indeed know nothing, but I will protect those I wish to protect, sacrificing everything, including my love and marriage... You should understand what I mean, Miss Song!"

...

Ji Xia continued working in the secretary’s office, but her mind was somewhat unsettled and restless.

To be a bridesmaid for Yu Dou and Song Qingyang, honestly, she didn’t want to and was unwilling.

It wasn’t that she had any reservations about Song Qingyang and Yu Dou, but because her heart couldn’t accept it.

That was a secret Ji Xia had hidden in her heart for three years. She never told anyone, not even Shi Nuan.

Of course, she never could let Shi Nuan know.

She had once received Xu Hua’s kindness, and after hearing about Xu Hua’s mysterious death, she decided to dedicate her life to avenge Xu Hua.

During this process, no one could, or would, sway her thoughts, including Yu Dou. It’s impossible.

Having understood everything, Ji Xia tried to keep her mind calm, then took a deep breath, ready to continue working.

Just then, a bright and striking figure suddenly passed by outside the window.
