Chapter 359 — Yang Juehuan's Intentions

But the truth was that Chen Shutang had learned to be forbearing, learned to yield, grown magnanimous, grown selfless. The change seemed to have come all at once; quietly, unwittingly, it was already done.

From a little girl prone to petty sulks, she had transformed into a little woman who could keep Yang Ce's household in order.

Every time he thought of this, Yang Ce felt an urge to gather Chen Shutang into his arms, to shelter her with his own shoulders for a lifetime—forever.

Chen Shutang had come to be with him with no thought of gain at all. The two of them could be said to be truly and genuinely in free love, just like Su Ya in the beginning. That was why Yang Shuo treasured and protected this feeling with particular care, and why Chen Shutang's place in his heart was unique and irreplaceable.

"Have you thought of something yet? The performance is about to start!" Seeing Yang Ce sitting with his eyes closed in thought, Chen Shutang could not help growing anxious. Xu Qianxing's text had already arrived; she was to bring Yang Ce backstage to prepare right away.

"Huh?" Yang Ce was pulled from his reverie. Seeing the anxiety on her face, he nodded quickly. "Ready."

"Then let's talk as we walk. Xu Qianxing texted me—he wants us backstage to get ready now." Chen Shutang rose to her feet, meaning to go over with Yan.

"Meng Yan, Yang Ce—break a leg!" Lin Yanhe was glad to see Yang Ce and Chen Shutang go onstage together, and she gave them a smile and a wink.
