Extreme Vigilance

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1749: Farewell

Imagination and truth are naturally not the same.

After Shen Yue revealed the truth, all the women fell silent.

Zhao Qiaoyun felt sorrowful in her heart, thinking to herself, “How could such an understanding man fail to grasp a woman’s thoughts? His distant yet close attitude toward me must be deliberate.”

Saiyue, on the other hand, was filled with a sense of pride.

Shen Yue’s insight proved that she was not mistaken. Whether ten years ago or now, Shen Yue remained equally rational and sentimental.

Rationality came from a clear mind; sentimentality, however, stemmed from a delicate, kind, and perceptive heart.

It was because of this perceptive kindness that he could see the helplessness and sorrow of the world, and thus, pity its desolation.

Cai Tiao was sorrowful.

Shen Yue did not say more, yet most of the women understood what he meant—a man enduring the pains of inconvenience rather than sharing his innermost feelings with his wife was far from harmonious; it was a stifling anguish.

They understood.

Because they too had stifled themselves, bowing to certain expectations.

Zhao Fujin sat down, staring at her reflection in the cup of wine.
