After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Sheng Yao quickly came over, patted her on the back, and handed her a tissue.

"It wasn't long, just about half a month."

What surprised Qiao Xing was not that the two were together, but that she never expected that Shen Boyan would actually agree.

After Qiao Xing recovered, he asked Sheng Yao, "Isn't that good? But why do you sound unhappy?"

Sheng Yao said depressedly, "I am happy, after all, I have liked him for such a long time, and I have pursued him for such a long time. How can I not be happy if he agrees to be with me?"

"Then what are you..."

Sheng Yao said very depressedly, "But you don't know, although the two of us are together, it seems that we are not together."

Qiao Xing was a little confused, "Huh?"

"That's right..."

Talking about this matter, Sheng Yao felt quite embarrassed.

But now the only person she can talk to is Qiao Xing.

So even though she felt embarrassed, she still told Qiao Xing everything that happened between the two of them.

Of course, there is also Shen Boyan’s attitude.

After hearing what she said, Qiao Xing finally understood, "So that's how it is."

Sheng Yao said bitterly, "Although I am happy, I feel uncomfortable with him. You said he is my boyfriend, but we haven't done anything that a boyfriend and girlfriend should do. We don't even show concern and greeting each other. If I don't take the initiative to look for him, I have no idea what he is doing."

"But if you say they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, then it seems to be the case. After all, he said that they want to give it a try."

Sheng Yao felt sadder and sadder as she spoke. "Actually, I understand why he did this. He just didn't want me to be too disappointed. But I am the one who is sad in this situation."

Sheng Yao fiddled with the ice cream in the cup and pouted. "It's actually my own fault. Why did I have to pester him in the first place? If I didn't have him, I wouldn't have agreed to all this. And I wouldn't feel even worse because he agreed to us."

Qiao Xing advised him, "You can't say that. After all, there's nothing wrong with liking someone."

"There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but I feel like I did something wrong. Do you think I shouldn't like Shen Boyan?"

Qiao Xing smiled and looked at Sheng Yao's confused and incomprehensible expression. After all, she was still young.

She comforted Sheng Yao, "Shen Boyan is a man of few words and is habitually closed to others, but this is not because of others, but because of some things he experienced in the past. It's not wrong for you to like him, it's just that you two have different personalities, and you just need to find the right way to get along with each other."

Sheng Yao said, "I did look for him. I know he is not a proactive person, and I won't care about such things. If he doesn't take the initiative, then I will take the initiative."

"She is usually busy and doesn't have time, but I do, so I am the one who goes to see him. When he is with me, he doesn't know what to talk about, so I am the one who takes the initiative to find topics to talk about so that the two of us don't feel bored."

"I know he has a lot of things going on at home, and I try my best to help him."

"But even so, I still feel like he's not happy with me."

What Shen Boyan meant by trying was just forcing himself to be with her.

If this is the case, Sheng Yao would rather Shen Boyan didn't like her and didn't want to be with her.

Qiao Xing asked, "So what makes you sad is that he is forcing himself to be with you?"

"Yes, because I always felt that when he said he wanted to give it a try, he really wanted to be with me, and it was not a compromise made because of the trouble I brought him."

"Because it means that he has no such thoughts towards me at all, and I kidnapped him."

Sheng Yao used to think that as long as the person liked someone, it didn’t matter. As long as she was persistent enough in the relationship, she would be able to impress the other person one day.

But when the other party really compromised, she became unhappy.

Because Shen Boyan made her truly feel that his heart was not with her.

Qiao Xing asked Sheng Yao, "Do you think you still like Shen Boyan?"

Sheng Yao said without hesitation, "Of course I like it!"

When Qiao Xing heard her answer, he had a rough idea in his mind.

She said to Sheng Yao seriously, "If you really still like Shen Boyan, then listen to me. Don't use these things to waste your time. You just need to understand your feelings for him. Do you understand?"

Sheng Yao shook her head and said, "No."

Qiao Xing was helpless.

However, she still patiently said to Sheng Yao, "Although I can't say that I know Shen Boyan very well, I at least know what kind of person she is. The decisions she makes are usually made after careful consideration. In other words, if he hasn't thought it through, he won't give you any results or hope."

Sheng Yao listened carefully to Qiao Xing's words and seemed to understand a little bit.

Qiao Xing continued, "So if you want to maintain the relationship between you and him, the key is still up to you."

"Look at me?"

"Yes, because since Shen Boyan has told you, he must have thought it through. He generally won't give up easily. But if you give up first during this process, then there will be no hope for the two of you."

Sheng Yao was skeptical, "But this is the Shen Boyan you know and understand after all. What if he doesn't think this way?"

Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Then do you want to try whether he is such a person?"

Sheng Yao quickly shook her head, "Of course I don't want to!"

Sheng Yao is not a fool. If what Qiao Xing said is true, then if she gives up, doesn't it mean that there is really no hope between her and Shen Boyan?

When Qiao Xing saw Sheng Yao like this, he knew that she was simply confused and did not really want to give up this relationship.

So she told Sheng Yao sincerely, "Don't worry, Shen Boyan is a very reliable person in relationships. He just gets used to being immersed in his own world most of the time."

"But I think she has shown a lot of differences in you. If it was a girl he really didn't like, he wouldn't even bother to get close to her, let alone try."

Sheng Yao blinked and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? You should be able to sense this yourself, right?"

Sheng Yao recalled everything that happened after she and Shen Boyan got together.

If we simply go by what Qiao Xing said about Shen Boyan, then Shen Boyan did behave differently in front of her.

As Sheng Yao thought about it, she suddenly felt less sad.

She expressed her gratitude to Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, I am so lucky to have a friend like you! I can really avoid many detours!"
