Even though he knew that saying this would be a great harm to Xia Jinqi.
He still said it because he knew Wen Qing's love for Yan Jun..
This was a lowly love that was already as low as dust... ...
Yan Jun did not answer.
His black eyes narrowed slightly as he fell into a long silence.
Seeing that he did not refuse, Ben thought that it was really possible for him to accept such a suggestion. Who knew that after a moment, Yan Jun's unhurried voice would slowly be heard.
It was like the gentle breeze in the park and on the grass in spring... ...
"I have never thought of a woman other than Xia Jinqi. "
He first opened with a sentence, completely rejecting Ben's previous suggestion.
Ben was slightly moved in his heart, but at the same time, he felt a trace of relief.
Although these words were said by him, if Yan Jun nodded and agreed, then it would be impossible for him and Wen Qing to be together for the rest of their lives.
Now that Yan Jun had refused, he could still have a little bit of hope.
However, just as his relief had not sunk into the bottom of his heart, Yan Jun's words came once again.
"We've been separated for so many years. I've changed, and so has she. Ben, what she cares about is just the happiness we had in school back then. She doesn't necessarily love me as much as I do now.
"If you really love someone, you should keep her by your side, protect her, and dote on her. You shouldn't push her to another man with your own hands."
Just now, Ben had gently coaxed Wen Qing to get an injection, and a man had looked at a woman with that kind of gaze. Yan Jun knew very well what that meant.
Even though he himself was also very surprised, because they had been together for so long, Ben had never shown any signs of liking Wen Qing.
Regardless of whether he had liked Wen Qing in the past or only liked her later, Yan Jun was happy for him.
"Do you think it's better to be a nameless mistress by my side who is spurned by the world, or to be your rightful wife? " When Yan Jun said this, he had already raised his eyes and looked straight at Ben.
" ... " Ben's heart skipped a beat because of that sentence, 'your wife' .
He lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Qing who was lying on the bed. He sighed in his heart, "will she accept me? "
"that will depend on whether the two of you are fated to be together. " Yan Jun did not say too much. He just wanted Ben to muster up his courage.
As for how Wen Qing really felt about Ben, only she herself knew.
Ben Fixed his gaze on Wen Qing's fair little face. After a long while, he smiled and nodded. "I understand. "
Yan Jun was right. He liked her so much, so of course he had to work hard to pursue her. How could he push her out with his own hands?
Seeing Ben like this, Yan Jun reached out and patted his shoulder. He almost cheered him on.
When Ben raised his head to look at him, he also smiled and let go. "thank you. "
Thank you for not letting her become your mistress.
Thank you for letting me know that I can also muster up the courage to pursue her love.
Yan Jun turned his head to look at Wen Qing one last time before getting up and preparing to leave. "take good care of her. "
However, as he took a step forward, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Ben, can you figure out the exact composition of the neurotoxin that Wen Qing was poisoned with this time? "
"I'm already doing the experiment. I've also left a sample of the antidote just now. I'll be able to deduce the composition of the various substances of the original toxin very soon, " Ben answered almost subconsciously.
Initially, he thought that Wen Qing would not be able to get the antidote, so he had been studying this toxin for the past two days in order to develop the antidote as soon as possible.
