Was it worth it?

Was it truly worth it?

Wen Qing asked herself that. She found that she could not answer.

She asked Shang Yinghan a similar question. “Sir, have you ever gone the extra mile for something that you think is worth the effort?”

“Yes, I have.” Shang Yinghan’s lips curled into a gentle smile as he looked at her with a determined gaze. “I’m willing. It’s worth it. I won’t regret it no matter how long I live.”

Wen Qing could not understand the depth of these words.

She did not realize how determined Shang Yinghan was when he gazed at her.

She only felt that Shang Yinghan was definitely a passionate and romantic man. However, this had nothing to do with her. What they had was only a one-night stand. He never even mentioned it, so it was clear how little it meant to him.

Shang Ke did not mention it just now either. Nothing changed in his expression. He looked just as cold as before. There was a high probability that she had misunderstood Shang Yinghan. Maybe he was not the kind of person who would backstab others.

As she thought about it, Wen Qing sighed internally. She said softly, “I don’t have much experience, so I don’t know if it’s worth it. Liking him is enough. That makes it worth it, I suppose.”

“Then, does that mean you like Shang Ke very much?”

Shang Yinghan had asked her this directly. Wen Qing did not know how to answer him, so she just shook her head.

She suddenly turned to Shang Yinghan and called, “Sir.”

Shang Yinghan was now used to how Wen Qing addressed him. He replied indifferently, “Yes?”

“The marriage is important to Shang Ke’s grandpa. He is old and his health is failing…” Wen Qing took the opportunity to mention it. Halfway through her sentence, she paused for a moment before continuing. “I know that even though you’re not the official head of the Shang family, you basically have the final say. So, I want to take some time to consider my engagement to Shang Ke.”

There was no need to avoid discussing the engagement with Shang Yinghan.

The public did not know much about their engagement. People in the capital had heard of it, but it was no secret in the Shang family.

At this moment, her mind was filled with thoughts about the marriage, so she did not notice the slight change in Shang Yinghan’s expression.

“Alright,” he said.

He agreed.

She suddenly looked at him, and his gaze was on her as well. He swallowed, and said, “Wen Qing, I will do as you wish.”

…

Finally, they arrived in Heting.

They had just gone on a detour of sorts.

Wen Qing did not understand why they had to take a detour, but she did not dare to ask. She was already troubling him for a ride home.

Before getting out of the car, Wen Qing said, “I didn’t open your bag. Sir, if you’re not in a hurry, could you wait a few minutes? I’ll go and get it for you.”

“I’m in a hurry right now. Next time.” Shang Yinghan looked up at her.

Wen Qing was speechless.

The detour took so long. What was a few more minutes?

“Just give me a few minutes, sir.”

“Next time.” His tone ended the discussion immediately.

Wen Qing could only give up.

When she went inside, Wen Qing did not see Lan Qulin anywhere. When she asked about her, the butler, Mr. Fang said, “Madam has gone to the temple to offer incense. She has not returned yet.”

At the temple offering incense?

Why didn’t she mention it yesterday?

“When did my mom leave the house?”

“Madam left not long after you left,” Mr. Fang replied.

Wen Qing asked if her father had come home last night, and Mr. Fang’s answer was the same as before. He had been staying at the company lately because there had been a lot of work piling up.

Wen Qing also did not know what was going on with the company lately. Her father did not come home often, and her mother was being very elusive. Although she lived like an abandoned child, she had a vague sense that something big was going to happen.

A woman’s intuition is usually extremely accurate.
