âStop yelling, hurry home to wash up and sleep! Honestly, if it werenât for the fact that youâre Bao Junyanâs own nephew, Iâd hit you unconscious and feed your body to the fish!â Mu Huan wasnât one who appreciated mindless conversations and had hit her limit after saying this much.
Her heartlessness caused him so much grief that he carelessly said, âI had gone to the Mu residence because of you, and itâs because of you that Lin Qingya and I have come to this point. If it werenât for the fact that I had to go to try and talk you around, how would something like that have happened, how would I have ended up having to marry her?! Itâs all because of you!â
âWhy, so youâre saying that I have to pay for your stupidity and take responsibility for it?â
âWhat stupidity? That was me showing concern for you! Even though you treated me that way, I was concerned and wanted the best for you!â Why could she not see all the good things in him and remember only that he didnât trust her?!
âBest for me, my ass! Just because Lin Qingya said that you should go and try to talk me around, that had to be the best for me? Are you living in the ancient days or something? Couldnât you have called me on the phone? If you were afraid that I wouldnât pick up your call, what gave you the confidence to think that Iâd take your advice? Furthermore, I had made it so obvious that I had fallen out with Lin Qingya. Are you so stupid, had water gone into your head or something? You think Iâd listen to whatever she had to say?â
âYou did whatever she told you to do! If that isnât stupidity, I donât know what is. Besides, Iâve told you quite clearly that you do not need to be responsible for her. She was in the wrong, and yet you worry about sullying her innocence. You think that you want to treat her well because sheâs carrying your child. You reason that this is for my sake too because I caused you this trouble? Donât drag me through the mud! Whoever you wish to marry, whether you do well in the future, whether itâs hell or agony or whatever, it has nothing to do with me!â
Gu Chenyi was about to say something.
âGu Chenyi, itâs not like youâre really stupid! I just canât understand it! Why donât you cool down and think back on all the things that had happened? Do you really feel that Lin Qingya is innocent?â
Gu Chenyi clenched his fists tightly at once. The green veins in the back of his hands swelled horribly!
âYouâre not such a stupid person! Youâre this determined not to believe me and this insistent that Lin Qingya is innocent probably because you canât accept that it was a moment of folly that you didnât believe me. In the end, I married your uncle, and it felt like you had given the woman you liked to someone else â itâs this mistake you made that youâve been unable to accept.â
Gu Chenyi tightened his fists.
âWhether you admit it or not, whether you really do think this way or otherwise, or for whatever other reasons, anyway, this will be our final conversation! And itâs the last time Iâm telling you, there will never be any possibility of anything happening between us, so stop thinking about it!
âIf you come looking for me for a chat again, Iâll knock you unconscious every single time! If you wish to tell people that while being married to your uncle, Iâm having an affair with you, just go ahead and do so! Itâs up to you!â Mu Huan quickly turned to leave.
One more word and sheâd blow her top!
Gu Chenyi did not go after her. He looked at her back with reddening eyes.
And he stood there watching the girl whom he liked most walking out of his world...
There was no possibility that sheâd ever be his again.
The girl whom he so liked, so yearned for, and so wanted... the girl whom he had put in all his efforts to woo and to pursue â before they had even begun, they...
Painful... it was unbearably painful.
It felt as though his heart was being ripped apart. He couldnât stand steady on his own feet.
Finally, he collapsed...
If we could turn back time, if you said that the deer was a horse, I would believe it.
There are mistakes that cannot be made; they will cost you your life.
