But she still refused to believe that he was that kind of person.
Standing up, she looked at his back and quietly wept as she asked him, "Tang Yuchen, did you lie to me? Originally, for Kangkang’s sake, you were willing to hand over everything you owned; I can’t believe you would choose to abandon me and our child just to defeat Tang Yushen."
Tang Yuchen turned around, his eyes meeting her tears, and a sharp pain pierced his heart.
He averted his gaze, his eyes dark and devoid of any light.
"The situation back then was different from now. If I hadn’t handed everything over, Tang Yushen would have harmed Kangkang. I had no choice. But now, I can protect both you and our child and still defeat Tang Yushen. Why wouldn’t I take this opportunity?"
An Ruo’s pupils contracted, her heart suddenly going cold and shivering.
"No, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it..." she shook her head, tears streaming down more and more.
She was completely unaware that she was crying; she just kept her eyes wide open, and the tears fell without warning.
The shiny tear drops hit the smooth floor, quickly accumulating into a puddle.
Tang Yuchen stared blankly at the puddle beneath her feet, his voice low and indifferent, "An Ruo, I must defeat Tang Yushen, do you understand? Otherwise, we will never find peace. Also... I’m not worth your sorrow..."
An Ruo snapped back to reality, only then realizing she had been crying.
Fiercely wiping the tears from her face, she said indifferently, "I’m not upset because of you! I will never be upset because of you!"
With that, she turned and rushed out of the room, running away without looking back.
Tang Yuchen immediately clutched his chest tightly, feeling suffocated and uncomfortable, with every nerve in his body twitching.
His body slightly bent, his dark eyes filled with pain.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels approaching him made him look up hastily, thinking it was An Ruo, but it was Lan Keren he saw instead.
The woman’s gaze was calm and resigned as she said, "Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be too heartbroken and something might happen to her?"
Tang Yuchen straightened his body, his face calm, as if nothing had happened.
"She’ll be fine, someone will follow her."
"Actually, you could’ve chosen to tell her all this later so that you could spend more time together."
"No need, I want to end all this sooner."
An Ruo ran out of the hotel, flagged down a taxi, and left in a hurry. Her heart hurt too much; she didn’t want to stay, only wanting to get as far away from Tang Yuchen as possible.
Yesterday and today, she had endured too much shock, her heart suddenly feeling weary, tired, and numbly painful.
Tang Yuchen had come back alive, and she was happy, her heart that had been numb for two years revived. Yet he told her that to defeat Tang Yushen, he chose to continue being married to Lan Keren.
