I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot

Shen Xin kept her gaze still as she asked, “You really… think I’m very annoying?”

Qiao Chen’s expression changed slightly as his hands tensed up.

Shen Xin quietly waited for his answer.

Mo Yesi and Qiao Mianmian turned over to look at him as well.

About a good ten seconds passed.

Qiao Chen took a deep breath and then calmly said, “Yes. So, I hope you won’t harass me in the future anymore. Shen Xin, you have a fiancé now. It’s… not too good to be around other guys this way.”

Shen Xin’s lips quivered, and she wanted to make things clear.

She wanted to say that she actually didn’t have a fiancé.

The person Shen Rou mentioned was not her fiancé.

The parents of both families did have hopes of them marrying each other after they’d graduated from university, but that was it.

She didn’t even agree to it herself.

But seeing how calm and composed Qiao Chen looked, with his brows slightly raised, she didn’t see a need to explain anything anymore.

What was the point of saying so much to a person who didn’t like her, and even found her a bother?

Would it make things any different for Qiao Chen, anyway?

Shen Xin felt a stab to her heart. It hurt so much.

She’d liked Qiao Chen for years.

When she saw him speak on stage as the class representative back when they were First Year students, it was practically love at first sight.

From then on, she’d harassed him for three years.

In those three years, Qiao Chen had rejected her many times, and it wasn’t the first time he said she was a bother.

But Shen Xin never thought that he truly detested her.

Because each time he said those words, there was never disgust or impatience in his tone or his eyes.

But this time was different…

Shen Xin saw an expression that hurt her.

She could tell that Qiao Chen really didn’t like her.

As much as she liked him, she had to leave herself with some dignity.

She had persevered over the years because she’d believed that he would someday be moved by her sincerity. After all, even with three years of harassment, Qiao Chen had been so tolerant of her.

She really thought there was hope.

Until today…

He was probably too tired of being pursued by her and didn’t want to tolerate it anymore. Perhaps that was why he finally spilled his true feelings.

He already made it clear that he detested her.

What other reason had she to press on?

It was time these three years of harassment came to a close.

Shen Xin went pale the moment she made up her mind to give him up.

Tears immediately rolled down as she dealt with the heart-wrenching pain.

“Shen Xin, you…” Qiao Chen furrowed his brows and felt even worse than before.

“Qiao Chen, don’t worry. I won’t harass you again.” Shen Xin smiled through her tears. “I’m sorry for bothering you for the three whole years and causing you so much trouble. I know I’m rather annoying too, being unwilling to let you go despite knowing you don’t like me.

“But in the future, I really won’t anymore.

“I’m really, really sorry.” With that, she bowed in apology.

“And for what just happened, I’m truly sorry too. I’ll apologize on my sister’s behalf.” She bowed once again.

Qiao Chen looked at her in shock as he stiffened.

Shen Xin seemed to have unloaded a huge burden. Without giving him a second glance, she turned around and trailed after Shen Rou.

Qiao Chen was rooted to the ground as he watched her leave.

The look in Shen Xin’s eyes when she said she’d never harass him again seemed to show that she’d really let it all go.
