Chapter 214: Three Refusals, I’ll Pretend I Never Heard

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 didn’t inquire further, didn’t express her stance, and didn’t care.

“I’m very grateful to you, Sixth Uncle, for coming to my rescue. As the saying goes, ‘Kindness begets kindness.’ So, as long as I can offer something, I’ll give it wholeheartedly. However, there are things I cannot give, nor can I afford to give.” .

No evasion, no beating around the bush; this was the first time Shen Wan had straightforwardly declined. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚

Both were clever individuals, and she believed that Quan Hanting would certainly understand.

Sure enough—

The man’s 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, “Are you absolutely sure about this?”

Shen Wan fell silent for a moment. “I thought, Sixth Uncle, you would appreciate such decisiveness.”

Quan Hanting wiped the last drop of water from her face and withdrew his hand, placing the towel back on the rack. “Well, now I’ll make it clear to you—I don’t like it.”

He really didn’t like it!

Shen Wan lowered her gaze, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

This kind of Quan Hanting was giving her a headache.

“So, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that statement earlier,” the man continued, nonchalantly averting her gaze, actually afraid to see her expression, fearing he’d receive an answer he didn’t 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. “Silence means consent.”

“I didn’t…”

“Shh! Listen to me, okay?”

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 Wan’s feet, filling it with water. Then he gestured for her to sit on the toilet lid.

“What… what are you doing?”

“Washing your feet.”

The man squatted down, and Shen Wan drew her legs back. “Wait!”

Quan Hanting looked up at her, his eyes questioning.

“Um… I can do this myself.”

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 didn’t insist. He handed her a gray towel. “After you finish, wipe your feet with this. It’s unused and clean.”

“Thank you.”

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 wasn’t going to taste good.

“Are you afraid of the bitterness?” he asked.

Shen Wan shook her head.

Quan Hanting handed her the medicine. “The temperature is just right. Drink it while it’s warm.”

Shen Wan took it, tilted her head back, and gulped it down in one go.

The look in the man’s eyes suddenly became filled with deep emotions, and he sighed softly. “Women don’t have to be so strong-willed.”

“Why, Sixth Uncle, do you look down on women?”

He pulled her to sit beside him, and Shen Wan thought for a moment but didn’t resist.

Quan Hanting said, “It’s not about looking down on them. It’s about thinking that if there’s an easier path to take, why choose the more difficult one?”

“Because 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.”

“But in the end, they will have limitations in some aspects.”

Shen Wan had to admit that this was a fact.

But, so what?

“Men have their strengths, and women have their advantages. If something is lacking in one aspect, it can be compensated in another.”

Quan Hanting remarked, “Sharp-tongued!”

Shen Wan chuckled and muttered, “Clearly, you couldn’t argue with me..”
