C25 Overestimation

Wen Shishi fled.

She didn't even take her glasses back from Cheng Xiao, she just grabbed her hat and rushed out the door.

A black Maybach was parked under the tree at the entrance. Wen Shishi checked first, and after confirming that it was Mr. Sniper's car, she quickly walked towards it.

Mr. Sniper, still wearing the white mask, opened the passenger door for her. He looked at her smiling: "Why are you running so fast? Is there a tiger chasing you?"

Wen Shishi took Mr. Sniper's hand, used his strength to jump into the car easily, and slammed the door.

What the hell was Cheng Xiao doing?

Suddenly taking off her glasses and saying those strange things.

Wen Shishi didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she forced herself to calm down. She smiled and said, "No, I was just worried you waited too long, so I jogged all the way here."

Mr. Sniper raised his eyebrows but stopped questioning and started the car.

It was the first time she was in his car. The interior was very clean, without unnecessary decorations. It was low-key and powerful, consistent with his personality.

"How was your first day of work?"

Wen Shishi nodded. "Not bad. Although the boss's temper isn't too good, he has a high standard and strict requirements. It's understandable."

Mr. Sniper was happy for her: "As long as you like it, you can continue. Shishi, as I told you before,

You have to be more confident. Your life is not just about cooking and washing clothes. You are still young, and there is a whole world waiting for you."

Wen Shishi felt a warm breeze flowing in her heart.

What a difference between people. When Fu Yicheng married her, he treated her like a nanny without wages. On the other hand, Mr. Sniper supported her, encouraged her, and brought her into a life that she never thought possible before.

"Um … I think I can do that. "

"Do what?"

Wen Shishi replied, "Work and life. I like this job. I can do it, and I can take care of you too."

"You don't have to do all the chores yourself. We can find hourly workers for household chores."

"But you gave me so much money and even saved my uncle … Mr. Sniper, I always regarded you as my benefactor, who pulled me out of the darkness when I was at my wit's end. But I really can't think of a way to repay you. I'm only good at housework ..."

Mr. Sniper interrupted her, "Shishi, I don't need you to repay me."

"Then you …"

"What I want is your heart and yourself. I want you to give birth to my children. I want you to live a happy life and do what you want, do you understand?"

Wen Shishi's nose was a little sore.

She bit her lip and looked at him out of the corner of her eye.

Mr. Sniper had the world's most angular jawline.

Although the mask covered the upper half of his face, it was obvious that his appearance was extraordinary.

Wen Shishi couldn't understand. Why would such a handsome and rich man fall for an ordinary married woman like her?

The story of the prince in love with Cinderella was just a childhood fairy tale. By her age, she had already been devastated by society and her mother-in-law. It wasn't that she was pessimistic, but she really didn't understand.

"Shishi, what are you afraid of?"

Wen Shishi shook his head. "I don't know either. It's just that I don't know anything about you. Our only contact is room 2307 at the Hilton hotel. If you suddenly disappear one day, I don't even know where to find you."

There was a depressing atmosphere in the car.

Wen Shishi explained, “I don't want you to take off your mask or disturb your privacy. I'm just afraid I'll give my all and end up abandoned. I've experienced this once, and I know how desperate the feeling is."

Silence.

At night, the lights in the center of the city were bright as the Maybach shuttled through the streets. Inside the car, the air seemed to be freezing.

Wen Shishi lowered her head and silently cursed herself for being insatiable and greedy.

Mr. Sniper was so kind to her, so she should be satisfied.

"Shishi." He whispered her name.

Wen Shishi raised her head. "Hm?"

"Do you really want to know?"

Wen Shishi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can I?"

Mr. Sniper tapped his finger on the steering wheel as if he had made a decision. Then, he said, "There's nothing wrong if you want to know."

Her heart seemed to hang in her throat, thumping.

She clasped her hands together and said, "I want to know."

At least, once she knew the truth, she could decide what kind of approach she should have towards him in the future.

"You look like an old friend of mine." Mr. Sniper said.

It was as if a bucket of iced water had been poured on her head.

A trace of loneliness flashed through Wen Shishi's eyes. "Old friend? Is it someone you loved? "

"Yes," Mr. Sniper said, "I loved her before, very, very much."

"Then why aren't you with her? Did something happen to her? "

Mr. Sniper shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, she's fine, but she's already married."

Wen Shishi's smile was a little dry. It would be a lie if she said her heart didn't hurt. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she did not expect this to be the truth.

She was just a substitute.

But at least Mr. Sniper was honest and told her the truth before she completely handed over her heart to him.

Although the truth was a bit cruel.

"You should fight for this." Wen Shishi lowered her head to hide her wounded gaze. "Maybe if you have had a little more initiative back then, she would have chosen you."

Mr. Sniper seemed lost in memory, his eyes turning cloudy: "Yes, if I had been braver then, maybe I wouldn't be in this situation with her now."

"Mr. Sniper, you still love her, don't you?"

"Yes, I do."

"And if, I mean, if, if she would change her mind and came back to you, what would you do about me?"

Mr. Sniper glanced at her and caressed her hair lovingly. "Instead of worrying about all this, why don't you think about what we're going to eat tonight? How about the Japanese restaurant where Meng Xiaoxia brought you to eat?"

He avoided a direct answer.

Wen Shishi knew he was changing the subject.

Her smile slowly faded. She turned her head to look out the window and said, "Anything you want, it's fine."

Due to Mr. Sniper's meticulous care and love, she lost her rationality, thinking that she had some weight in his heart.

Wen Shishi laughed to herself at how overconfident she was.

The lesson the Fu family had taught her wasn't enough, she actually still had delusions.

"Shishi, are you crying?"

She stubbornly wiped her face with her hand. "No, I just found a job I like, and my salary is pretty good. Why would I cry?"
