However, Shen Nan did not speak. He did not dare to sit down now.

Shen Nan did not know how long he had stood there. He only knew that his legs were numb. However, Shen Yu still had no intention of letting him sit down.

​ 

“Fifth Brother…”

“Don’t speak. Let’s wait for Emi to wake up first.”

Shen Nan mustered up his courage to speak but was interrupted by Shen Yu.

He finally realized that Emily was his treasure now. Shen Yu did not care what he did.

Shen Nan instantly felt even more wronged.

Shen Nan’s gaze fell on Emily who was sleeping on the sofa. She was very quiet. She did not look like she was going to wake up at all.

Could it be that if Emily did not wake up, he would just stand there?

Shen Nan sighed deeply. Who asked him to do something wrong?

“No… Don’t go… Don’t go…”

“Emi?”

Shen Yu, who was originally guarding Emily, instantly became anxious after hearing Emily’s nightmare. He hurriedly got up and half-squatted beside Emily.

Shen Nan was also shocked by this.

He felt that Shen Yu looked so gentle in front of him now. It was something he had never seen before.

It turned out that Shen Yu was also worried about someone to this extent.

Shen Nan finally understood why everyone in the family liked Emily. Just because of Emily’s appearance and Shen Yu’s change, the Shen family would not mistreat Emily.

Shen Nan could not help but curse himself in his heart. How could he think that Emily was the one who wanted to stir up trouble in the Shen family just because of Shen Xue’s words?

Shen Nan watched quietly. Shen Yu gently stroked Emily’s hair and kept saying that everything was fine, everything was fine.

He had never seen such a gentle Shen Yu before.

Perhaps it was because Shen Yu’s pacification had taken effect, Emily gradually quieted down. Her face was red from sleeping, as if the nightmare from earlier had never appeared.

“Come with me.”

Shen Yu stood up and looked at Emily. Seeing that Emily had already calmed down, he ignored Shen Nan and spoke softly.

At this moment, Shen Nan could not be bothered with his numb legs and hurriedly followed.

Shen Nan followed Shen Yu to the balcony. Shen Yu glanced at Emily, who was on the sofa, worriedly. He closed the balcony glass and looked at Shen Nan expressionlessly.

Shen Nan swallowed his saliva and looked carefully at Shen Yu.

“Fifth Brother, I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong.”

Shen Yu only glanced at Shen Nan and gestured for Shen Nan to continue.

As expected, his Fifth Brother’s gentleness was for Emily.

“I shouldn’t have been so impulsive to blame all the mistakes on Emily, and… I also shouldn’t have been bewitched by Shen Xue.”

Shen Yu looked at Shen Nan with some ridicule.

When Shen Nan saw that Shen Yu still did not speak, he was instantly so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

“Fifth Brother, what do you want me to do? Just give me a straightforward answer. I really know my mistake. You can bring Emily back to the old residence with me.”

Shen Yu frowned and did not intend to answer Shen Nan.

When Shen Nan saw that Shen Yu still did not speak, he was even more distressed and did not know what to do.

Shen Yu sighed and glanced at Emily, who was on the sofa, worriedly.

“We’ll talk about it after Emi wakes up. I’ll go back when she’s back.”

Shen Nan was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. His Fifth Brother actually compromised so easily?

Did he mean that it was fine as long as Emily agreed?

Then wasn’t this simple?

Shen Yu ignored Shen Nan, who was in a daze on the balcony. He went straight into the house and sat back on his previous seat, quietly reading the book in his hand.

Shen Nan looked at the two figures in the living room. One was sleeping quietly, while the other was sitting quietly reading.

Why did he feel that he had ruined the atmosphere when he went in?

But where was he going?

Shen Nan walked towards the living room, not daring to make a sound. He was afraid that he would wake Emily up. At that time, Shen Yu would definitely not be willing to go back with him.

Very soon, Emily woke up.

“Emi, you’re finally awake.”

Shen Nan was so anxious that he went forward, startling the originally ignorant Emily.

“Sixth Brother?” Emily asked with some uncertainty.

“Eh, it’s me, it’s me. I came to apologize. I shouldn’t have said those words,” Shen Nan said emotionally.

It seemed that Emily was not angry with him at all. Perhaps if he said a few good words, Emily would go back with him. At that time, Shen Yu would also go back, and his mission would be completed.

By then, Grandpa would definitely not blame him.
