Rather than feeling betrayed, Su Qianxun found herself curious.
Hng, could Yan Zi be Shi Ze’s lover?
Hng, how could she bump into such a disgusting affair? Were they intending to fool around in this garden?
But clearly, she was wrong. Peering out to check things out, Shi Ze and Yan Zi did not flirt around at all as they walked one after another back to the hall.
It was only after they had disappeared completely that Qian Xun stood up.
Somewhat dazed, Qian Xun did not notice her heels being slanted as she fell over at the flower terrace. In her fluster, she grabbed at anything she could. She did not know what she had grabbed at but she managed to not slip as she heaved out a sigh of relief.
“What are you doing here?” A magnetic voice rang out, shocking her thoroughly. Turning around, she caught sight of Lu Yanzhi standing at a dark spot.
It was only then she realized that she had grabbed onto Lu Yanzhi’s arm.
Instantly, she let loose and stumbled back a couple of steps, looking at him cautiously. “I should be the one asking you that! What are you doing here all sneakily!”
He scoffed coldly. “Having an affair with you.”
Qian Xun was enraged as she scolded out, “Are you crazy? Who’s having an affair with you? Hooligan!”
“Don’t tell me that it wasn’t Fourth who called you over, and you were the one who came on your own and somehow bumped into me coincidentally?” That toying remark of Lu Yanzhi had Qian Xun feeling uncomfortable all over.
She repressed every single bit of uneasiness in her heart and composed her emotions. “Yes, Lu Yanchen was the one who asked me to head over, telling me someone was looking for me. But, I didn’t know it was you. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have come! So, what do you want?”
That cold gaze was as though she was looking at a stranger.
When Lu Yanzhi took a single step forth, she backed off a step. That action of hers had him smirking in amusement. “You’re afraid of me?”
She glared at him and raised her head bravely. “What do you want! Do you think that I’m still afraid of you killing me like in the past?”
The past? She was talking about the past?
Lu Yanzhi thought about how obedient she was in the past. Right now, she was just like a fiery firebolt. His long fingers rapped on the decorative fake mountain at the side as he heard Qian Xun making a stern remark once more, “… Next time, choose your words carefully! I’m not afraid, I hate you! Hate!”
The air was filled with silence after she was done speaking. His rapping had stopped as he looked at her coldly…
The way she looked so stoic and frustrated, even somewhat enraged, had him recalling that day that he found out she was pregnant.
He told her ecstatically, “Give birth to the child!”
She was agitated. “You’re mad! Why should I give birth to a child for you! For a man I hate? I don’t want to… You mustn’t be this cruel, I don’t want…!”
She bawled out into tears with a cry so dismal as though she had met with the most tragic thing in this world.
That was the first time he had experienced what it meant to experience a gut wrenching pain!
When he looked at her crying, his heart softened for a moment. He had wanted to agree just like that to abort the child. Indeed, she was rather young then as well.
Trailing down memory lane, Lu Yanzhi reminisced over the word. “Hate…”
He then curled his lips. “How coincidental! I hate you too…”
