The roar made Gu Zixuan’s heart turn cold to a certain boundary. free\we,bnovel.c o(m)
Looking at the man who had grown more and more unfamiliar over the years, she laughed word by word: "What exactly have I become?"
He Qimo chuckled coldly, lowering his eyes as he released the distance, "You’ve done what you’ve done, don’t you know what that means?"
Gu Zixuan, with tears in her eyes, choked, "I don’t know what it means!"
Stubbornness made He Qimo’s gaze waver slightly as he looked at her.
She spoke word by word: "All I know is that for these eight years, I’ve been paving the way everywhere for the He Family, I’ve been living aggrieved, and all I know is that from the first day I entered the family, they have always disliked me, treating me poorly behind your back, and I’ve felt miserable."
"All I know is that every time you didn’t come home at night, the woman I called ’mom’ said I deserved it, and I was heartbroken. All I know is that I’ve done what I should, endured what I had to, and for these eight years, I’ve not wronged anyone in your family. Even until today, I have to clean up her mess from her stupidity, yet here you are, righteous and stern, criticizing me for harming her?"
Gu Zixuan’s eyes, like autumn ponds, glistened with tears yet did not fall. What He Qimo saw stirred something low and steady in his heart.
Their eyes met, and too many past memories spun in their minds.
Until those scenes of He Qimo’s gentle treatment invaded her mind, her emotions slowly shattered.
"Yes, I loved you first, I pursued you, and I even forced you to propose. But it’s been ten years. If you truly didn’t love me, why did you marry me? Even if I messed up your reunion with your ex-girlfriend, haven’t I already paid for it? To be treated ?"
By the end, she was saddened to tears. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꜰire.net
This was the first time she cried in front of him after eight years of marriage. .com
He Qimo was shocked, hearing the words "ex-girlfriend," and looked at her in disbelief.
Gu Zixuan, however, didn’t want to say anything more. She wiped the tears off her face and pushed him aside, ready to take her bag and leave.
He Qimo grabbed her hand, "Zixuan..."
But at that instant, the door was pushed open forcefully. .com
Zhou Huimei entered angrily, and upon seeing those sharp eyes, Gu Zixuan realized something and stepped back, wanting to retreat.
Yet He Qimo, moving to stop her, inadvertently blocked her way.
In that moment when her body was pushed and couldn’t move, Zhou Huimei’s slap landed soundly on her.
"Slap!" The crisp sound echoed through the room, and Gu Zixuan’s face was scratched by nails, blood flowing down her face instantly, her autumn eyes fixed in the air.
He Qimo was shocked, seemingly unable to believe what she had done, his fingers clenched slightly, "Mom—"
Zhou Huimei spat coldly, "Let her get out! I, Zhou Huimei, won’t have such a daughter-in-law!"
Gu Zixuan raised her burning face and glanced at where He Qimo was holding.
He Qimo’s heart tightened, and he quickly released his hand.
The next moment, Gu Zixuan took her purse and swiftly left the bedroom.
He Qimo paused, realizing what happened and chased after her, but Gu Zixuan had already gone downstairs, slamming the door shut with a "bang."
