“Xiang Yi...”
He glanced at her but did not speak. Instead, he turned his head and endured the piercing pain.
“Xiang Yi, you... you saw the news?”
Shi Nuannuan walked over. His indifference had already explained everything.
He did not speak. He just sat there calmly.
“Xiang Yi, it’s not like that. That News is fake. The truth is not like that!”
“Then tell me, what is the truth?”He asked calmly, but he still did not look at her.
Shi Nuannuan could hear the hint of hoarsely in his voice, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
Her heart hurt even more.
“That was just a lie. Cheng Huan’s grandfather is sick. He had always hoped that I could be together with Cheng Huan. A few days ago, he suddenly fell ill because --”
“To fulfill his wish, you agreed to marry Cheng Huan,”he interrupted her. He felt that this explanation was crueler than the truth.
Shi Nuannuan was stunned. She looked at him with pain in her heart.
“No, I already said that it was just a lie to Cheng Huan’s grandfather...”
“The entire city z is filled with the news of your engagement. Now, you’re telling me that it was just a lie?”He finally turned his head. The Flash of pain in his eyes pierced deep into her heart.
“But, it’s just a lie...”
“A lie needs to be announced to the entire country?”He looked at her and endured the pain in his heart. His eyes were bloodshot.
Shi Nuannuan was stunned again.
She did not know how to explain the lie that had evolved, but that was the truth.
She had never thought of getting engaged to Cheng Huan. She did not know that this matter would develop to this point, but how could she explain it so that he would believe her.
“I, I don’t know how to explain it, but you should know that I like you. I said that I would only be your bride. You know all of this...”
However, her words were a little ironic to him at that moment.
He laughed self-deprecatingly. “Only being my bride, yet putting on a wedding dress for another man. Don’t you think it’s ironic that you’re telling me all of this now?”
“Xiang Yi, what can I say to make you believe me?”
“There’s no need to say anything. From the very beginning, between us...”he closed his eyes and endured the pain. The beautiful times that the two of them had spent together suddenly appeared in his mind.
“From the very beginning?”She was afraid of hearing the answer, but she could not help but want to know.
He was stunned for a long time, but he did not speak for a long time.
From the beginning, they were destined not to be together.
After thinking about those sweet times, he could not say these words.
However, Shi Nuannuan seemed to have heard the last part of what he wanted to say.
“From the beginning, we were not suitable? Or from the beginning, just like your uncle said, I was just playing with your feelings?”If that was really the case, then what was the meaning of her longing for him all this time?
Because she missed him, she went to G City on the first day of the Lunar New Year to look for him. Because she missed him, she flew to country A to look for him. Because she missed him, she could hide from her grandfather early in the morning and come to his apartment to look for him. Because she missed him.., she racked her brains to get her brother to arrange for her to work at the Overlord because she wanted to see him at all times.
If all of this had become what he called inappropriate and toyed with, then what had she been doing all this time?
Even as she tried to restrain herself, the faint sound of sobbing still made his heart ache.
