Unfortunately, the woman still wore that cold expression, her eyes seemingly undisturbed, as if she understood everything and yet understood nothing at the same time.
She didnโt inquire further, didnโt express her stance, and didnโt care.
โIโm very grateful to you, Sixth Uncle, for coming to my rescue. As the saying goes, โKindness begets kindness.โ So, as long as I can offer something, Iโll give it wholeheartedly. However, there are things I cannot give, nor can I afford to give.โ fr(e)enovelkiss.com
No evasion, no beating around the bush; this was the first time Shen Wan had straightforwardly declined.
Both were clever individuals, and she believed that Quan Hanting would certainly understand.
Sure enoughโ
The manโs eyes lost some of their brightness for a moment, like an old painting losing its colors or leaves wilting in the fall, but he soon regained his composure. He wore a faint, wistful smile as he asked, โAre you absolutely sure about this?โ
Shen Wan fell silent for a moment. โI thought, Sixth Uncle, you would appreciate such decisiveness.โ
Quan Hanting wiped the last drop of water from her face and withdrew his hand, placing the towel back on the rack. โWell, now Iโll make it clear to youโI donโt like it.โ
He really didnโt like it!
Shen Wan lowered her gaze, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
This kind of Quan Hanting was giving her a headache.
โSo, Iโll pretend I didnโt hear that statement earlier,โ the man continued, nonchalantly averting her gaze, actually afraid to see her expression, fearing heโd receive an answer he didnโt want.
Shen Wan was dumbfounded. Could he really play it this way?
Quan Hanting raised an eyebrow, and his exquisitely handsome face exuded a unique charm in the warm lighting. Suddenly, he flashed a smile. โSilence means consent.โ
โI didnโtโฆโ
โShh! Listen to me, okay?โ
Shen Wan felt that it was definitely not okay.
Without giving her another chance to object, Quan Hanting took out a basin from somewhere and placed it at Shen Wanโs feet, filling it with water. Then he gestured for her to sit on the toilet lid.
โWhatโฆ what are you doing?โ
โWashing your feet.โ
The man squatted down, and Shen Wan drew her legs back. โWait!โ
Quan Hanting looked up at her, his eyes questioning.
โUmโฆ I can do this myself.โ
A big shot helping her wash her feet? What kind of international joke was this?
Shen Wan shuddered at the mere thought of it, but fortunately, Quan Hanting didnโt insist. He handed her a gray towel. โAfter you finish, wipe your feet with this. Itโs unused and clean.โ
โThank you.โ
After she finished washing her feet, she left the bathroom and found Quan Hanting seated on the sofa next to the window, signaling for her to come over.
As she approached, she noticed a bowl of dark Chinese herbal medicine on the coffee table, its bitter scent filling the air. Just by the smell, she knew it wasnโt going to taste good.
โAre you afraid of the bitterness?โ he asked.
Shen Wan shook her head.
Quan Hanting handed her the medicine. โThe temperature is just right. Drink it while itโs warm.โ
Shen Wan took it, tilted her head back, and gulped it down in one go.
The look in the manโs eyes suddenly became filled with deep emotions, and he sighed softly. โWomen donโt have to be so strong-willed.โ
โWhy, Sixth Uncle, do you look down on women?โ
He pulled her to sit beside him, and Shen Wan thought for a moment but didnโt resist.
Quan Hanting said, โItโs not about looking down on them. Itโs about thinking that if thereโs an easier path to take, why choose the more difficult one?โ
โBecause women also want to have the status of men and hope to enjoy the attention that the world gives to men. So, they have to live like a man.โ
โBut in the end, they will have limitations in some aspects.โ
Shen Wan had to admit that this was a fact.
But, so what?
โMen have their strengths, and women have their advantages. If something is lacking in one aspect, it can be compensated in another.โ
Quan Hanting remarked, โSharp-tongued!โ
Shen Wan chuckled and muttered, โClearly, you couldnโt argue with me..โ
