But what could he do?
He was already married.
To let Scarlett be with him like Zhang Shu, that would be too selfish.
After all, Zhang Shu was a woman who had been married and divorced.
All she wanted was a sense of security.
She didn't covet any status.
But Scarlett was different.
She was the world's most dazzling star...
One could say there are really not many n in the world who are worthy of having her.
Money, status, glory—she lacked none.
Even a proper marriage would seem beneath her, let alone wanting to keep her as a hidden concubine.
But a woman, after all, is to be married...
If Su Chen couldn't give her happiness, he shouldn't deprive her of the right to seek it elsewhere, right?
Yet, his heart just couldn't accept this, it felt uncomfortable.
"Don't you have anything you want to say to ?" Scarlett looked at Su Chen with eyes full of hope.
Su Chen remained non-committal.
The Su Chen of the past had no right to love Scarlett.
As for now.
He was no longer the deputy leader of the Reverse Dragon Group, burdened with a vendetta, and had beco soone else's husband...
He was even less qualified.
What should he say, what could he say?
He knew that he could write a blank check.
But Su Chen wasn't that kind of person.
He had his principles and his bottom lines.
He fulfilled his promises without fail.
Silence is also an answer.
Scarlett gave a sorrowful smile, "You won't even lie to ?"
Su Chen let out a light sigh, "It's not that I don't want to, but I don't wish to. You are the most outstanding woman in this world, while I am just a man with hands stained in blood..."
Su Chen hadn't finished speaking when his words were stifled by a finger.
She looked at Su Chen earnestly and said, "I won't let you say you're not worthy of . In my heart, you're a true man!"
Hearing this, Su Chen scoffed at himself, a true man?
Perhaps.
Su Chen and Scarlett t because of a hiring assignnt.
Su Chen was hired to be Scarlett's bodyguard.
While protecting Scarlett, he also had to protect the jewelry on her that was worth a billion.
Of course, protecting the jewelry was the main priority.
At that ti, Scarlett was not as famous as she is now.
The company valued those billion-dollar jewelry much more than her.
Due to an accident, Su Chen could have left with the billion in jewelry.
But he didn't. Instead, he traded that billion in jewelry for Scarlett's life.
Scarlett couldn't believe that a man would resist such a temptation.
A billion dollars.
Su Chen's hire fee at that ti was only ten million.
At that ti, she thought she was surely dood.
But that man appeared with the billion-dollar jewels and exchanged such a fortune that would tempt anyone in the world just for her life.
Back then, although Scarlett was also famous,
she was nowhere near as well-known as she is now.
Scarlett asked Su Chen why he did it.
Su Chen's answer was simple; because it was his duty.
"But your primary duty was to protect those jewels," Scarlett knew herself well.
There was no need to spend ten million to hire Su Chen just for her safety.
The company did that only considering the safety of the jewels.
"If the jewels are lost, I can retrieve them, but if you die, then I can never complete my mission," that's how Su Chen replied.
In the end, Su Chen kept his promise and returned all the jewelry without exception.
The story is simple.
But how many people can really do it?
After reaching this status, what kind of n hasn't Scarlett t?
Including the President of the United States, she's t him.
But what of it?
Those n only saw benefits, or had other motives.
Any help offered to her ca with a price.
Only this man, after safely escorting her ho, didn't even ask for a sip of tea at her place.
At the ti, Scarlett was puzzled.
Could it be that she had no allure to this man?
The answer was no.
No man could refuse her.
Su Chen was no exception.
But she has no regrets.
If Su Chen was willing, she would even consider retiring from the entertainnt industry for him.
To beco his and only his.
Sadly, the man disappeared the next day after she woke up.
It was sothing out of her control.
Su Chen received a notification from his sister-in-law to go on a new mission.
Later, Scarlett beca more and more famous.
Eventually becoming a Heavenly Queen-level figure.
They've t a few tis since then.
But they no longer talked about feelings.
It was just a mutual attraction.
Su Chen liked Scarlett's beauty.
And Scarlett liked Su Chen's righteousness, strength, and mystery.
Every eting was pleasant, followed by departure.
There was never an appointnt for the next eting.
Only this ti.
Due to an accident.
It was an unexpected encounter.
It could also be called fate.
Because if it weren't for Mo Xiaoxiao's mascara staining Scarlett's clothes, perhaps they wouldn't have t.
But this eting was different from before.
In the past, when they t, there were no other won around Su Chen.
But this ti, there was another woman.
Scarlett didn't care about which woman's house Su Chen stayed at last night or whose side he would be on tomorrow night.
But at the mont of their eting.
He had another woman by his side.
This was sothing she couldn't quite accept.
They say n have a strong sense of possession.
Won are the sa.
When there were no other won around Su Chen, Scarlett felt that this man belonged to her.
Even if it was just for a brief mont.
At least she was entirely his.
But now.
She saw the woman by Su Chen's side.
That woman was also perfect.
If it wasn't for her halo, perhaps, they would be equally matched.
She knew.
Su Chen no longer belonged to her...
"What should I do, I'm really angry inside and want to ignore you forever, but I can't do it..." Scarlett's big eyes were filled with grievance.
This was an emotion she would never show in her movies.
Because Black Widow is cold-blooded.
Unacquainted with sadness, and clueless about grievance.
But she is not Black Widow now, she is Scarlett.
So she can feel sad, and she can feel aggrieved...
