“Shut up! If I were you, I would stay in the room for the rest of my life to avoid embarrassing myself in public.”

Shen Wan didn’t argue, she just smiled faintly and said, “Unfortunately, you are you, and you can never become me. If you don’t want to see me, you can go away. If you don’t want to listen, you can cover your ears. No one is forcing you to look or listen.”

“Heh, a bastard child like you, where do you get the confidence to challenge me?”

“Of course, my confidence came from the Shen family. We share the same surname and father. We share half of the same blood in our veins. It’s just based on that.”

“Shen Wan, I warn you, don’t talk nonsense! Otherwise, I will make sure you know how serious the consequence is!”

“Oh? What do you mean by ‘talking nonsense’?” Shen Wan crossed her arms, unruffled.

Shen Yan frowned and gave her a fierce glare. “You’re not allowed to say you’re from the Shen family in front of my classmates, and you absolutely can’t admit you’re my sister!”

Being a bastard child implied that their father had cheated and betrayed his marriage, and Shen Yan would not allow such a stain to be exposed in front of her classmates. She was the school belle, a goddess, pure and flawless.

“Don’t worry, I don’t do stupid things like that.” Shen Wan replied and walked straight to the kitchen. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. “Lower the volume, it’s noisy!”

Carrying a glass in her hands, Shen Wan walked through the dining room and bumped into a young man wearing a white shirt and casual pants, to be more precise, he was a teenager.

His smile was clean, his gaze was clear, and it was evident that he had been raised in a sheltered environment, unaware of the hardships of the world, preserving his pure and clean essence.

Qi Ziehen.

In the previous life, the Shen and Qi families had formed a marriage alliance, with him marrying Shen Yan, and Shen Wan having to address him as “brother-in-law.”

But now, he was just an immature young man.

“…Shen Wan?”

“You know me?”

“We met once at the Mingda anniversary party,” he said. Even though it was just one encounter, he could actually recognize her. As someone with severe face blindness, Qi Ziehen found it unbelievable.

Shen Wan raised an eyebrow. Her brother-in-law was good-looking, came from a reputable family, had a gentle personality, and was polite. He appeared approachable but was actually quite arrogant.

Every time she accompanied Shen Yan back to her family, they didn’t talk much. To put it nicely, you could call it being reserved, but less kindly, it was just being distant.

He looked down on Shen Yan, or rather, on the Shen family?

Yet now, he took the initiative to talk to her. Why?

Without blinking an eye, Shen Wan remained calm and asked, “You…”

“I’m Qi Ziehen, two years older than you.”

“Hello.”

“I…” He swallowed nervously, his throat bobbing, his fair skin making him look like a character from a manga.

Shen Wan watched him, waiting for him to continue.

After a while, the young man blushed and finally blurted out, “Can I get closer to take a closer look at your face?”

Shen Wan remained calm. “Why?”

“Sorry, this request may seem abrupt, but please believe that I have no ulterior motives. I just want to understand why I remember your face when I have face blindness…”

Face Blindness?

Shen Wan hadn’t heard of this condition in her previous life, but suddenly, something came to her mind, and her gaze flickered slightly. “So, you can’t remember people’s faces?”

“More accurately, it should be women’s faces. However, there’s an exception now.” He looked at Shen Wan intently, his eyes filled with curiosity and surprise as if he had discovered some kind of extraterrestrial being.

“Does that include Shen Yan?”

|Q|I

“You can’t remember her face either?”

Although she didn’t understand why Shen Wan was asking this, Qi Ziehen nodded honestly. “I can’t remember.”

This was getting interesting…

How did these two people manage to be married in their previous life?

The husband couldn’t remember what his wife looked like, and the wife, in order to maintain her dignity, never mentioned her husband’s face blindness to anyone.

This explained why Qi Ziehen didn’t like to talk when he came to the Shen family. After all, he couldn’t even distinguish who was who.

It also explained why they never heard of Qi Ziehen having face blindness because Shen Yan had her pride.

“Is it okay?” The young man asked again, with a sincere attitude.

Shen Wan caught a glimpse of a pink dress passing by the dining room door and her smile deepened. “Sure!”

Qi Ziehen didn’t expect her to agree so readily, and he was momentarily stunned. When he realized it, he couldn’t help but show a look of delight. He took a few steps forward, but hesitated as he nervously rubbed his palms together.

Shen Wan remained composed, allowing him to approach without reservation.

Qi Ziehen no longer hesitated and reduced the distance between them to a minimum, using his analytical gaze to examine the face before him..
