"An Ruo, do you still hate me?" After a long time, the man behind her asked in a low voice.
The woman in front gently shook her head, "I don’t want to hate you, hating you is too tiring. Tang Yuchen, let’s go our separate ways from now on, alright?"
She wanted to cut off all ties with him and never have anything to do with him again?
No, even after knowing the truth, he didn’t want to lose her. He had already lost their child, he didn’t want to lose her too!
The man suddenly knelt behind her, hugging her body tightly, his face buried in her neck.
"An Ruo, I’m sorry. I know that even if I apologize a thousand times, it can’t make up for the pain I’ve caused you. But I will use the rest of my life to compensate you, please give me another chance, alright?"
"No need, I don’t need your compensation. Let me go, that would be the best compensation for me," An Ruo said indifferently, with not a trace of emotion in her eyes.
Tang Yuchen held her even tighter, afraid that she would leave him, that she would disappear.
"But I want to compensate you, if you don’t accept, I will suffer for a lifetime, I won’t be able to eat or sleep, and within a year I would wither away and die. Do you want to watch me die? Besides, I don’t want to die, An Ruo, please give me a chance to make amends, alright?"
His words only made her more angry.
An Ruo struggled quietly for a moment, "Tang Yuchen, I am talking about something serious, stop talking nonsense!"
Did she think that what he said was just sweet nothings?
The man turned her to face him, gazing at her with pained eyes.
"I’m not talking nonsense, everything I’ve said is true. Without our child, my heart is very heavy, the pain is no less than yours. But without you, my heart would die. And if my heart dies, what’s the point of living in this world?"
An Ruo stared at him, a flicker in her eyes, and then she let out a cold laugh.
"My heart is also dead, but I still live well. Can your pain be deeper than mine? And do you think I will believe such childish nonsense from you?"
Tang Yuchen gripped her shoulders, not angry, but with a dim look in his eyes, he spoke in a low, heavy voice.
"I know you can’t believe in my love for you, in fact, I can’t even believe how much I love you myself. But I truly have fallen in love, and now I can’t help myself. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me, I will prove it to you, I will make amends, and I won’t let you get hurt again."
"Enough!" An Ruo sharply interrupted him.
"I don’t need your amends! Tang Yuchen, I don’t think you’ve understood what I said, so I’ll make it clearer. I don’t love you anymore, I don’t want to see you, I just want to get away from you and live a life without you. I hope you’ll be sensible enough not to appear before me again, not to disturb my life again!"
The man stood still, just staring blankly at her.
Just the thought of a life without him in it was completely unacceptable to him.
He knew he should let her go, not cause her any more pain.
But he just couldn’t do it.
If he let go of her, she would have a new life, other men would appear in her world, but he would no longer be a part of it, she would forget him and not remember there was such a person as him.
He loved her so much; he simply could not accept such an ending. He didn’t want his shadow to vanish from her world!
Call him overbearing or selfish, he just couldn’t let her go, he only wanted to keep her by his side.
"An Ruo, I know I have wronged you, you can punish me in any way you want, but I really can’t let you go, I’m sorry."
