"At that time, you were implicated in Xia Zhengguo’s case. Lai Wenyan refused to help, and I couldn’t find anyone else to rely on, so I had no choice but to do what others said, running to the vicinity of Tan Palace to intercept the carriages of important figures."
Tang Li said with a pursed smile, "Thinking about it now, I feel I was really foolish. It’s a miracle I wasn’t killed as an assassin. At that time, Lai Shengxia had already returned to the country. Actually, I didn’t need to meddle unnecessarily. Aren’t you two true love? She would definitely have saved you, she wouldn’t just watch you go to prison."
"It’s just that I valued you too much, so I couldn’t see reality clearly, misinterpreting your indifference towards that marriage as your innate nature. I didn’t want to bring up these matters again, but since you still hold onto them, let’s clarify everything today." Read full story at NovelHub(.)net
Han Jifeng’s gaze was fixed on Tang Li, he didn’t continue the conversation but just looked at her smiling doe eyes, and listened to her say, "I was bringing it upon myself to meddle in your relationship with Lai Shengxia, but I don’t blame you. Lai Wenyan wanted to marry me off to Xia Zhengguo’s son, it was me who fled from the Lai Family to find you. Ultimately, it was my own choice.
Everyone must bear the consequences of their own choices, even though the moment I opened my eyes again, I really hated you and everyone else; but later, I gradually learned to let go, marking a full stop from the moment I replaced Lai Shengxia as the hostage."
"That day at Fuyuan, when I rejected you, it wasn’t playing hard to get, nor was it to stir up another entanglement of love and hate."
Tang Li continued, "You and Lai Shengxia got married in that life, after all, you two are so suited to each other. You now not wanting to be with her anymore, I don’t want to pry, that belongs to your emotional entanglement, outsiders have no right to interfere.
Since I have the chance to relive, I don’t want to bring everything from that life over, be it relationships or anything else. Someone told me, at my age, I should not be too obsessed. At that time, I argued with him, but now, I’ve come to understand his teachings, being too obsessed turns into a demon barrier, and in the end, it only wounds oneself."
After saying this, Tang Li paused for a few seconds: "Perhaps it really is fate that I met him once in that life, and in this life, I met him early on. Maybe because he cleared your name in Xia Zhengguo’s case, letting me know he is a good person; since the night of the Lai Family’s celebration, I couldn’t help wanting to get closer to him."
Han Jifeng looked at her, as if seeing that shy girl who he encountered in a dream at the Han Family home, somewhat awkward, yet exceptionally sincere, only now, her emotions were stirred for another man.
After a long while, his deep voice said, "In that life, I failed you."
"It wasn’t a failure."
Tang Li replied, "Actually, ’deceived’ is more appropriate. You deceived me, Lai Shengxia deceived me, so did your mother and the Lai Family people, from start to finish, only I was kept in the dark."
As she finished, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky.
"You said you want to make it up to me." Tang Li’s shadow cast on the ground, elongating obliquely: "To me, your non-interference is the best form of compensation."
Han Jifeng stared at that slender shadow on the ground, then lifting his head, his profound gaze fell on Tang Li’s face: "What Song Baiyan can’t give you, I can give you in the future, the worries you have will not happen again, both you and I remember the matters of that life, we should be together."
