Chapter 1114: Shen Liangchuan, I’m Pregnant (10)
Besides Auntie Li, there were a few other housekeepers in the villa.
The housekeeper who had made tea was about to serve the drinks. Yet for some inexplicable reason, she froze at the kitchen entrance, not daring to take another step into the living room.
They all craned their necks and peered at the two men on the sofa, holding their breaths.
Lu Nanze didn’t bother to be cordial with his words.
Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes and started, “Don’t worry, Mr. Lu. You can rest assured that I’m even less interested than you are. But there are some things I have to say.”
With a cold snort, Lu Nanze replied, “Make it quick then.”
Looking at the man, Shen Liangchuan said, “I once heard a story. Someone saw Buddha and asked the difference between like and love.”
Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank immediately at these words. “Go ahead.”
Shen Liangchuan continued slowly, “Buddha pointed at a boy in the courtyard, who had developed a liking for a particular flower. The more he looked at it, the more obsessed he became. Then, unable to stop himself, he reached out to pluck it and hid it in his pocket. Buddha said, ‘This is what ‘like’ is.’ The person went on to ask, ‘What about love?’”
“Buddha pointed at another boy. This boy watered the plant, made sure it had fertilizer and checked the earth around the plant, under the hot sun each day. To ensure the plant didn’t get burnt by the sun, he even shielded it from the sun with his own shadow, till at last the flower bloomed radiantly. This is love.”
After Shen Liangchuan said this, Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes.
Clenching his fists, he suddenly laughed mockingly and asked, “So would you say you like or love her?”
Shen Liangchuan did not answer.
Lu Nanze continued, “No one can judge another person’s feelings. It’s the same for you and me. Shen Liangchuan, there is no certainty whom Qiao Lian likes or wishes to be with. If you love her, then you should let her go.”
Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes at this thought and said calmly, “Do you think that you were just that little bit too late and that’s why you lost her?”
Lu Nanze nodded.
Shen Liangchuan laughed coldly and cast his gaze down. He then said after a pause, “How about we lay a bet?”
Narrowing his eyes, Lu Nanze said, ”What sort of bet?”
“In one month from now, let’s ask her who she wishes to be with. If her memory has not returned and she chooses to be with you, then I will bow out.”
Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank back at once at that suggestion. He looked at Shen Liangchuan in disbelief and asked, “Are you being serious?”
With narrowed eyes, Shen Liangchuan nodded and said, “I’m serious.”
Lu Nanze asked immediately, “What makes you so confident?”
The corners of Shen Liangchuan’s lips turned upwards and a proud smile broke across his face, as he said, “Because there is love between us. Lu Nanze, she has lost her memory now and we’re all back to square one. Even if I gave you a chance, you won’t win her heart.”
Shen Liangchuan got to his feet and faced Lu Nanze. “Because what happened in the past was real. She is the wife of Shen Liangchuan.”
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes. “You see each other every day and night. Of course you have an advantage over me!”
Shen Liangchuan looked at the other man like he was an idiot and went back upstairs.
That look clearly said that he, Shen Liangchuan, was no fool. Why would he push his wife towards someone else?
Lu Nanze frowned deeply.
Right now, Qiao Lian felt that she should not be unfair to Shen Liangchuan. But if they were to spend all their time together, surely she would fall in love with him all over again at some point. She had to find a way to keep them apart.
