Chapter 342: Not Wanting to Let Go

Only at this very moment did Wu Yueer completely believe that Shen Yan was not lying, and that Chen Shanni truly suffered from an incurable disease; otherwise, if it were anyone else, it would be impossible to exonerate Shen Yan.

What made her curious was how exactly the incurable disease had been cured.

However, neither of them was willing to say much, which made Wu Yueer feel as uncomfortable as if she were being scratched by a cat.

But now was not the time to consider such things; facing such an understanding Chen Shanni, Wu Yueer really did not know how to respond.

She could not bear to see her good sister hurt by love, and even less could she bear to hand Shen Yan over to someone else.

In the end, she decided to remain silent.

Love is selfish, and she hoped even more to keep Shen Yan all to herself.

Shen Yan also had mixed feelings in his heart; the deeper their contact, the more he found it hard to forget this gentle and quiet girl, yet he had no standing to win her back.

He gazed quietly at Chen Shanni, wanting to imprint her expression at this moment into his mind forever.

Under the mottled light, there were almost no visible pores on Chen Shanni's face; every inch was filled with collagen, and her skin was delicate enough to break at a touch.

Her figure was soft and weak, and although there was a tear track at the corner of her eye, it revealed a kind of stubbornness that made one's heart ache.

Unaccountably, Chen Shanni easily understood the meaning behind that look; all kinds of sorrow and bitterness surged into her heart together, and the strength she had been feigning instantly collapsed.

The next moment, tears burst forth uncontrollably like a breached flood.

This also caused Shen Yan's heart to waver once again; he suddenly wanted to be selfish for once, to be shameless for once; he wanted to keep this girl by his side.

There was also one point that was quite worrying: Chen Shanni's condition had not yet fully recovered, and if it were not completely cured, her life would still be difficult to guarantee.

Without further hesitation, Shen Yan grabbed Chen Shanni's hand: "I have some things I want to tell you."

He pulled Chen Shanni toward the master bedroom, and Chen Shanni did not resist, letting him pull her along.

Seeing this, Wu Yueer had no intention of stopping them at all; she did not believe that Chen Shanni would agree to the absurd request of the three of them being together.

Moreover, with things having developed to this point, as long as she was not made the "other woman," Wu Yueer was fine with anything.

Entering the room and closing the door, Shen Yan looked at Chen Shanni with deep affection, gently stroking her plump, smooth cheek with his right hand, and confessed: "I cannot bear to let you go."

Chen Shanni's body and mind trembled; how could she bear to let Shen Yan go? It was just that reality did not allow the two of them to continue entangling.

"Yue'er is a good girl; you should cherish her well," Chen Shanni said, looking slightly aggrieved.

In front of Shen Yan, she had never been good at disguising herself.

Shen Yan pursed his lips and said earnestly: "Although it is a bit rude to say this, I still want to ask you one thing: if it were the three of us together, would you agree?"

Chen Shanni was slightly stunned, then shook her head: "How is that possible? Yue'er would not agree."

"I am just making a hypothesis."

"I... I don't know." Chen Shanni's face was full of confusion; she had never thought about such a question. In her view, a husband and wife should be harmonious and respectful, with no third party involved.

Hearing this, Shen Yan could not help but feel secretly happy; as long as she did not refuse outright, there was still room for maneuver.

After choosing his words, Shen Yan laid his cards on the table again: "Yue'er expressed her stance to me just now; she doesn't mind our situation. I want an answer from you now: do you want to be with me?"

"Ah?"

Chen Shanni opened her mouth in surprise, not expecting Wu Yueer to be so magnanimous as to tolerate even this.

But could she herself be completely unbothered?

The answer was no.

But she really could not bear to part with Shen Yan, especially after these days of intimate life like a married couple; Chen Shanni's affection for Shen Yan had risen to an unprecedented height.

Just as Chen Shanni was struggling, Shen Yan brought up the worry in his heart: "Your illness hasn't fully recovered yet; why not stay by my side first? When you recover, if you want to leave then, I will never stop you."

Chen Shanni woke up as if from a dream; that's right! Her illness hadn't been cured yet. A few short years would pass in a flash; rather than struggling with those "what-ifs," it was better to cherish the present.

She would recover her health completely first.

"But this is ultimately not very good; outsiders will gossip if they find out."

Having found a sufficient reason for herself, Chen Shanni finally let go of the misgivings in her heart.

She only still had some doubts.

Shen Yan was secretly delighted and said lightly: "Then we won't let them know. From now on, to the outside world, I have no girlfriend, only good friends; you and Yue'er are the same."

That... seemed to work. Anyway, there was no other way for the time being, so they would just do it this way.

Having found another step down for herself, Chen Shanni finally said no more. Shen Yan exerted a little force and pulled her tightly into his arms, silently feeling her exquisite and graceful figure.

Chen Shanni wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and thick waist, pressing her face against his chest, lingeringly breathing in the scent she had almost lost forever.

Some people, some things—only until they are lost can one understand their preciousness.

Then, Shen Yan lifted her chin and kissed her forcefully.

"Don't do this, Yue'er is still outside," Chen Shanni said, turning her head away shyly.

"I'm not doing anything; I just want to kiss you."

"I... I'm so nervous."

"Don't worry, the door is locked; no one will come in."

Unable to reach her lips, Shen Yan lingered on her face; the touch was delicate. For some reason, this face held a tremendous attraction for Shen Yan.

Touching and kissing, it was never enough.

Afterward, he attacked her earlobes, and then the most sensitive part of Chen Shanni's neck.

"Mm..."

The scorching breath hitting her body made Chen Shanni's legs go weak, her eyes gradually becoming hazy; she could only let Shen Yan invade at will, and in the end, she was pressed by him onto the Large Bed.

He sealed her warm lips with his own.

Feeling that unruly, large hand scurrying inside her undergarments, Chen Shanni hurriedly pressed it down, her little face flushed as she said: "Let's go to your place, okay? Yue'er will hear."

Shen Yan's breathing was slightly chaotic: "It's okay, we'll be quiet and she won't hear. I want you right now."

As he spoke, Shen Yan straightened up and began to strip her, with shirts and trousers flying everywhere.

Looking at those strong and well-defined muscle lines, the flush on Chen Shanni's face deepened; while her mouth said no, she resisted powerlessly.

Under these circumstances of half-reluctance and half-willingness, what was meant to happen eventually happened.

Immediately following, a lingering echo resonated throughout the room.

Melodious and long-drawn.

Even though Chen Shanni tried her best to endure it, she still inevitably made some small sounds.
