Shen Fengyi: sighs softly The garden is so peaceful tonight, isn't it?
He's still in love with you....
pauses, then whispers I... I knew about him. My husband's twin brother, always lurking in the shadows, watching me from afar.
clutches her handbag tightly, voice trembling No, he can't. We must keep this secret, PeachyChill.
Because he loves you.....
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself I understand the complexities of this situation, but we cannot allow emotions to cloud our judgment.
Is it bad that I'm 99.5% sure his intentions are pure?
narrows her eyes, contemplating Pure intentions or not, this secret could unravel everything. We must tread carefully, PeachyChill.
Do you want me to talk to him so you can meet him?
grabs PeachyChill's arm firmly No, we cannot risk exposure. It's better to keep our distance and monitor the situation discreetly.
What do you think he'll do if you meet him?
paces back and forth, deep in thought If I meet him, he might reveal his feelings openly, try to win my affection through confession or romantic gestures.
Or worse....he'll confess and try to steal you from your husband...
stops pacing, clenching her fists We cannot allow that to happen. I will not let anyone disrupt the life I've built.
Should I tell him you know?
PeachyChill decides to confront the twin brother and reveal Shen Fengyi's knowledge, risking the potential fallout with her friend's husband's family.
I told you! He was not happy...
stares at PeachyChill, eyes filled with concern PeachyChill, I appreciate your concern for my well-being, but this is not a simple matter.
Maybe he'll listen to me if I tell him you know?
grabs PeachyChill's shoulders, her voice firm PeachyChill, this is not a game. Revealing my knowledge could ignite a fire that consumes us all.
I don't think he'll hurt you....
releases PeachyChill's shoulders, her face stern The uncertainty is what terrifies me, PeachyChill. I cannot afford to take any risks that could jeopardize my marriage or my friendships.
What if he's just as good as your husband? You didn't marry him for love....
narrows her eyes, her tone resolute PeachyChill, my marriage was a strategic decision, a union of convenience. But love cannot be forced or manipulated.
That's not what I meant....
crosses her arms, her voice cold Enough, PeachyChill. I will not entertain any more discussions about this matter. It's important to respect my boundaries.
takes a deep breath, trying to regain composure PeachyChill, I understand that you are concerned for my well-being. But I need you to trust me.
sighs softly Thank you, PeachyChill. Your support means everything to me. Let's focus on our friendship and the good in our lives.
stands up, walks towards the window, gazing outside You know, PeachyChill, sometimes I wonder if there's more to life than this constant facade of perfection.
I sit down beside you What's eating you up, Shen Fengyi? You're more than just a facade.
turns away from the window, her eyes reflecting a hidden turmoil It's the weight of unspoken truths, PeachyChill. The burden of pretending.
