Chapter 42: Utterly Humiliated

  His voice was as gentle as ever, his eyes sincere and serious, he looked at her with expectant gaze, what he said was like a thread that seeped into her heart, wrapping her heart tightly, tighter and tighter, her mind went blank, those words entwined in her mind to form an incomprehensible language, what did he mean?

  Looking at her dazed eyes and stunned expression, Shen Yicheng's gaze became even more gentle. "I like you, it's always been you." He seemed to be making a vow as he whispered in her ear, his voice suddenly becoming several degrees heavier. "It's you who is not obedient, don't come into contact with that doctor again, do you understand? Wait for me, just two more years..."

  Shen Yicheng gazed at the stunning woman in front of him, his heart skipped a beat, and he leaned in, irresistibly drawn to her lips. Ye Anning suddenly woke up with a start, using all her might to push the man away, while slapping his face with one hand.

  Her foot was injured and her body unstable. The slap didn't have much force, but she stumbled backward several steps before barely managing to steady herself.

  Staring incredulously at the man who had turned his face to one side, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled uncontrollably. "Shen Yicheng, you're utterly shameless!"

  She couldn't believe that the man who was just affectionately embracing Ye Mingzhu and receiving everyone's blessings had suddenly appeared in front of her, confessing his love to her, telling her he didn't love Ye Mingzhu, and asking her to wait for him for two years.

  She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was so strange, his words were so shameless!

  Ye Anning hastily walked out, Shen Yicheng's eyes deepened, turning around to grab her, but Ye Mingzhu came over at this time. Ye Anning didn't even lift her head and bumped straight into her body. Ye Mingzhu let out a startled cry, looking up to see that she was furious and wanted to mock her with a few words. However, Ye Anning pushed her away and walked out. At the same time, Ye Mingzhu also saw Shen Yicheng following behind her.

  Shen Yicheng's flustered footsteps steadied as he saw Ye Mingzhu, "What are you doing here?"

  "I see you've been gone for so long and now you're looking for me." Yemingshu was very good at hiding the displeasure in her eyes, had he been gone for so long just to talk to Yeanning?

  Ye Anning hastily ran to the balcony to get some fresh air, Shen Yicheng's words undoubtedly dropped a bomb in her heart. She had always thought that he was infatuated with Ye Mingzhu and had changed his affections because of her open and secret struggles for favor, and she had long been numb to such things. But she never expected that he was just using Ye Mingzhu, using her to achieve the goal of obtaining Shen's family property. Was this still the gentle and kind Yicheng brother in her heart? Who was this man who was so calculating?

  Ye Anning stood on the balcony for a while, walking back and forth in a daze, without noticing the approaching waiter. The waiter was pushed from behind with great force, rushing straight towards Ye Anning. Ye Anning tried to dodge, but her skirt seemed to be stuck, making it impossible for her to move. She didn't have time to turn around, and her body fell backward due to the inertia of the waiter's collision. All she heard was a ripping sound - that was the sound of her dress tearing apart.

  With a thud, she fell to the ground, and the wine tray in the waiter's hand happened to hit her leg.

  The piercing pain made Ye Anning let out a low cry, but what came to her ears was a string of gloating laughter.

  Ye Anning's long skirt was tattered and torn, her canvas shoes exposed, her body covered in wine stains, and glass shards scattered around her feet, suddenly becoming disheveled.
