Seeing that Shen Nian didn't want to accept the flowers, Si Chen shrugged and said, "It's just a bouquet of flowers. You don't have to worry about it, Xiao Shen."

"Is that really the case?"

"Well, don't worry about it, Xiao Shen. They say women like flowers, so I just wanted to give you a bouquet."

"Si Chen, you don't have to do this. If you feel embarrassed because I gave you a razor last time, and you gave me a bag in return, then I'm telling you now that you really don't have to feel embarrassed. I gave you that razor just to repay you a favor."

At this point, Si Chen suddenly mustered up the courage to say, "Xiao Shen, you should keep the flowers. I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"Please accept the flowers first. I will tell you after you accept them."

Hearing him say this, Shen Nian took the flowers and placed them on the chair next to him.

"Okay, just tell me what you want to say."

"Xiao Shen, I like you. Please be our girlfriend. I hope you can give me a chance. From the first time..." Before she could finish her words, Shen Nian interrupted her and rejected her directly, "Si Chen, we are not suitable. Please stop talking."

Hearing her say it's not suitable, Si Chen still didn't give up and asked, "Why? We haven't tried it yet, how do you know it's not suitable?"

"Si Chen, you don't know me well. You only see some things on the surface. Maybe this is not love. You are so good, you can definitely find a suitable girl to marry."

"It's not difficult for Xiao Shen to understand a person. As long as we start dating, I will definitely try my best to understand you. And I think you are the right person for me. Can you let me finish what I want to say today?"

"Si Chen, I'm really not suitable for you. I'm a divorced woman."

"How about a divorce? I don't mind. Besides, does divorce mean you are a bad person?"

Seeing how persistent he was, Shen Nian was conflicted about whether or not to explain things to him clearly. In fact, she already had four children, and they were not from the same world at all. She didn't want to love anyone else in this life because it was too tiring. She just wanted to live her own life.

But after thinking it over, she decided not to tell him about the child. After all, they were very good friends, and if she told him about it directly, then everything would be over.

Seeing that she didn't say anything and the expression on her face, Si Chen probably guessed that he probably didn't have a chance, but he still wanted to fight for it. Then he said carefully, "Xiao Shen, are you listening?"

After he asked this, Shen Nian was quickly brought back to reality.

She nodded and said, "I'm listening. Si Chen, don't spend your time on me. It's impossible for us to be together. I'm... Let me tell you this, in my heart you are just a good friend. I don't want you to waste your time on me."

"Although I don't know you very well, after such a long time of contact, I can see that you are a person with good character, quality, and accomplishment. I can also see that your family background should be good."

"As for me, I am an orphan. If my adoptive mother hadn't picked me up when I was one year old, there might not have been a person like me in this world."

"So we are not from the same world at all. Our life values ​​are destined to be different. You should find a girl who matches you and marry her."

"Xiao Shen, you are belittling yourself. Everyone lives independently in this world. Although you said that your background is indeed very ordinary, you also have your shining points, but you just haven't discovered them."

"Besides, who said you can't find a better man to marry? The conditions you mentioned, including material things and family, are all external things. Real relationships shouldn't be troubled by these things, right?"

"Si Chen, I understand what you said, but we are really not suitable. You are so good, why waste your time on me?"

"Xiao Shen, I really like you. Is it because of him that you rejected me so bluntly?"

When asked if it was because of him, Shen Nian hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to expose her feelings. After all, she and he were not suitable. He and he were actually the same kind of people.

Thinking of this, she said lightly, "Si Chen, my rejection of you has nothing to do with others. I am simply telling you that we are not suitable. I just want to be friends with you."

"So do you still love him?"

"I remember answering this question last time. I just want to live a good life now. As for the relationship, I don't want to think too much about it. In fact, it's really good now."

"So, Si Chen, stop now while you don't have deep feelings for me. I don't want to hurt you. I know you are a good man and a good person."

"Promise me, okay? I don't want us to stop being friends. In fact, I really cherish our friendship."

Seeing Shen Nian's words were so uncompromising, Si Chen reluctantly nodded and said, "Xiao Shen, since you said so, I won't force you. I will try my best to keep this feeling in my heart."

"Si Chen, it's not too late for you to stop now. I believe you can meet a better girl."

"Okay, Xiao Shen, I understand what you mean. Even though you rejected me so straightforwardly, I have kept these words in my heart for a long time. I can tell you today, at least I feel better."

"I'm glad you understand what I mean. I really don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to destroy our friendship."

"Well, no matter what, just keep the flowers and treat them as potted plants."

After he said that, Shen Nian was too embarrassed to say anything else. She took the flowers and said, "Okay, I'll take the flowers, but as for the bag, I'll give you the money. I don't know exactly how much it is, so I'll transfer three million to you."

"Xiao Shen, the bag has already been given away, so why would you take it back? Besides, didn't you say you didn't want to ruin our friendship? If that's the case, you should just accept the bag with a clear conscience."

"Si Chen, it's because I don't want to ruin our friendship, so I can't accept such an expensive bag from you. Listen to me, you take the three million, and I'll take the bouquet of flowers."

As he spoke, Shen Nian quickly took out the phone and turned it to him.

After transferring the money, she smiled and said, "I have already transferred the money, remember to collect it."
