Chapter 209: Chapter 209: I Once Had Doubts
Su Zixi felt somewhat horrified.
But upon noticing his anguished eyes, her heart stirred, and she suddenly had a guess.
So, she carefully asked, “Ning Yichen, is it that you have learned something?”
“Learned what?” he said with a faint smile.
Could it be that he wasn’t upset because he knew the truth? Su Zixi was confused, but since he didn’t know, she had no interest in bringing up those matters.
So she shook her head, “It’s nothing. Ning Yichen, no matter what madness you’re suddenly experiencing, it has nothing to do with me, so please, can you return my things?”
The man’s smile grew more bitter.
Even now, she was unwilling to personally tell him the truth. It showed just how disappointed she was with him.
Seeing him not speaking, Su Zixi stamped her foot in frustration, “Forget it, keep them if you like!”
Since those were giveaways from the supermarket, and she still had a shopping card, she could simply go and buy them again tomorrow… Thinking this, she turned and walked away.
“Su Zixi, you know that Su Lianxi has been deceiving me all along, right?” Ning Yichen’s bland voice suddenly came from behind her.
Su Zixi’s steps halted involuntarily as she turned back.
“Ning Yichen, you…” she began tentatively.
“The person who saved me initially was you, and the one who has been taking care of me is also you,” he said softly, his words carrying the scent of the camphor tree and drifting into Su Zixi’s ears.
Su Zixi suddenly felt somewhat dazed.
This statement was something she had long anticipated. She had always hoped that one day Ning Yichen would discover the truth and then come to her, telling her these words.
But just when she was no longer expecting it and it no longer mattered to her, he suddenly appeared before her and spoke these words.
For a moment, Su Zixi didn’t even know how to feel.
She moved her lips, feeling that she ought to say something, but in the end, she could only remain silent.
Ning Yichen walked up to her, his voice filled with bitterness, “Su Zixi, I only found out today… so, there won’t be a wedding. I will never marry a woman like Su Lianxi!”
Su Zixi pursed her lips and looked up at her, “Just for that reason, you want to give up on her?”
Ning Yichen’s face turned even paler, “Because I have never liked her. I thought she saved me, which is why I agreed to marry her!”
“Oh, I see,” Su Zixi tugged at the corners of her mouth, suddenly finding it absurd, “Ning Yichen, your way of repaying kindness is really strange, does it really have to be by marrying her?”
“No!” he stared at her in blank astonishment, “At first I thought I liked her, but it isn’t true. I liked only the woman I thought she was, not who she really is…”
Su Zixi remained silent for a long time, looking at his pale face, “So, what brings you to me now?”
“Zhixi, I’m sorry,” he said hoarsely, “I’m sorry for how I treated you before.”
Indeed… Su Zixi looked at his pale face, her heart filled with complex emotions.
“Hmm, I accept,” she nodded, “You were deceived too, so I don’t blame you. Anyway, I didn’t expect anything in return when I saved you initially.”
“I had doubted before,” Ning Yichen stared at her intently, “But the person who dispelled my doubts was you. You admitted more than once that Su Lianxi was the one who saved me, so I…”
So even though he had doubts, he never truly suspected.
