CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: IS IT LOVE OR OBSESSION? (18)

The smile on Sheng Jianan’s face gradually faded, and he didn’t say anything. Mu Yunfan looked at him for two seconds, then continued, "Jianan, your persistence is moving, but... sometimes I wonder, do you truly like ’her,’ or is it just an obsession you’ve never been able to let go of over the years?"

With a single sentence, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment. Sheng Jianan’s expression turned serious, and he didn’t answer Mu Yunfan’s question, because he himself didn’t know.

As for that person, he initially searched frantically, but gradually it faded. It wasn’t because the passion was gone, but because finding someone isn’t something you can achieve just by wanting it.

Later, that ’her’ became more of a protective façade for Sheng Jianan. When he was alone, thinking about those past times felt very warm.

And when he brought it up in front of family and friends, it became the reason why Sheng Jianan didn’t accept other women.

The Sheng Family’s idea of finding him a wife wasn’t something new, and he always used ’her’ as an excuse to reject that.

Now, suddenly hearing Mu Yunfan say this, Sheng Jianan instinctively wanted to deny it, but then he realized his denial would seem very pale.

Finally, after two seconds of silence, Sheng Jianan put on his usual arrogant demeanor and smiled indifferently, "Does it matter?"

Whether it’s love or obsession, it doesn’t matter!

Mu Yunfan said nothing more. The two of them returned to the private room, and Sheng Jianan instinctively glanced in Tang Yanqi’s direction, only to realize that she had already fallen asleep at some point, leaning every which way.

Zhou Chengze naturally saw it too, and before Sheng Jianan could say anything, he spoke first, "Let’s go, let’s go. It’s so late, I need to catch a flight tomorrow, poor me. Dear sirs, please take care of me!"

Young Master Zhou put on a comically downtrodden expression, receiving simultaneous eye-rolls from the three of them.

If Young Master Zhou, the number one in real estate nationwide, is asking for support, then over ninety-five percent of people might as well not live.

Xu Muyun and Lin Duo each gathered their things and left first. Zhou Chengze and Mu Yunfan followed suit, and soon, only Sheng Jianan and the drowsy Tang Yanqi were left in the private room.

Sheng Jianan walked to her side and reached out to pat Tang Yanqi’s face. There was no response. In the dim light, Tang Yanqi’s profile appeared extraordinarily gentle. The room wasn’t quiet, yet she was able to sleep so soundly, and Sheng Jianan unknowingly smiled. On a whim, he suddenly didn’t want to wake her.

He wanted to see what this woman would do when she found herself in his bed the next morning.

Sheng Jianan reached out and picked Tang Yanqi up, letting her small face rest against his chest.

This woman, she’s really too light.

Sheng Jianan never knew that Tang Yanqi could sleep so well. She didn’t wake up in the private room, nor when he carried her into the car and back to the villa.

Looking at Tang Yanqi lying on the bed, Young Master Sheng felt a bit speechless. If he didn’t trust his judgment, convinced that Tang Yanqi was genuinely asleep, he’d really suspect that this woman did it on purpose. How could she not even flinch during such commotion?

Pulling the quilt over Tang Yanqi, Sheng Jianan’s gaze shifted, landing on her lips. She had makeup on today, and while everything else was fine, the lipstick was smudged, making her look like a spotted cat.

After hesitating for a moment, Sheng Jianan picked up Tang Yanqi and carried her into the bathroom to wash the makeup off her face.
