Chapter 23: I Have Feelings for Someone Else

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shang Ke’s features were beautiful. Perhaps the Shang family just had really good genes. Compared to Shang Yinghan, Shang Ke’s only advantage was his youth, but he was incomparable in other aspects.

Wen Qing pursed her lips at Shang Ke’s words and said in a soft voice, “What did I do?”

“Wen Qing, our marriage is just a contract. You’d better not disturb me. Do you understand?” Shang Ke warned her.

Wen Qing looked at Shang Ke’s expression face and asked, “What do you mean?”

Shang Ke’s lips twitched. He sneered. “What do you mean? You’re trying to get into the same production team as me, aren’t you? You even shamelessly asked Shang Yinghan to step in on your behalf. Who do you think you are?”

Wen Qing was rendered speechless by the question. She stayed silent.

Shang Ke noticed that Wen Qing had nothing to say. He snorted. “Don’t think that you can interfere with my life just because Shang Yinghan is supporting you. That’s impossible.”

Shang Ke lowered his voice. “Wen Qing, whenever I think about how our marriage was arranged without my consent, I’m filled with hatred for you.”

“What did I do to make you hate me so much? I don’t pester you all the time, do I?” Wen Qing’s eyes turned red, and every word she said was filled with emotion.

To Shang Ke, Wen Qing’s emotions were pretentious and artificial.

If someone disliked another, everything they did would intensify the dislike, even if they were just standing there.

Shang Ke felt that way toward Wen Qing.

Shang Ke’s face was expressionless. Then, the digital watch he was wearing vibrated. He looked at it. His manager had sent him a voice message.

“Shang Ke, I once asked you if you liked me. You gave me a clear answer, but now, you’re saying such hurtful things. Do you think I have a heart of stone? Do you think these words won’t hurt me?”

“I have something to deal with. Give me a second.” It was like Shang Ke did not hear a word she said. He pressed a button on his watch to reply to the voice message.

After replying to the voice message, Shang Ke looked at her again. “What did you just say?”

Wen Qing pursed her lips and stayed silent.

“Since you don’t want to tell me, then listen.”

Shang Ke put away his watch and spoke clearly. “One day, I will be able to nullify this meaningless engagement. Wen Qing, don’t even think about marrying me, because I never intended to marry you. I have feelings for someone else, and I have no room for you at all.”

Wen Qing felt like he had stabbed her in the heart.

It stung.

It felt like a stone causing ripples in a calm lake. Then, a gust of wind would come to calm the lake.

“I know,” she replied.

Shang Ke’s gave off the air of a frivolous heir who was in the entertainment industry, and had no interest in the family’s properties. Wen Qing had always known that this was a false persona that he had created. Growing up in an environment like the Shang family taught him to restrain himself out of fear.

She understood Shang Ke quite well.

However, she wished she did not understand.

Before this, she had been in denial. She thought that he would treat her well, and truly fall for her once they got engaged and married. However, after this mishap, and after noting how Shang Ke was treating her, Wen Qing suddenly realized that his attitude meant very little now.

Why live such a tiring life?

“Shang Ke, if…” Wen Qing took a deep breath and looked at Shang Ke’s cold expression. She said slowly, “If I’m willing to cancel the engagement, will you hate me any less?”
