Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 359 - Put The Blame

So one day, Han Zongying decided to visit him in his office and talk face-to-face. She reached An Guoting's company, and from afar, she saw his back.

Han Zongying brightened. But before she could call him, he turned sideways, and she saw him holding a baby girl in his arms.

She blinked her eyes and was confused.

Who is that baby?

An Guoting seemed happy and was laughing as he played with her and juggled her in his arms. His gaze was loving and warm as he looked at the cute angel. The baby girl had tightly held on to his collar in her tiny fist, making him chuckle.

When one of the employees of An Corps passed by her, Han Zongying stopped him and asked, "Who is that baby?"

He smiled. "Oh, she is An Caihong. Sir's one-year-old daughter."

She froze. She stared blankly at him as if she misheard. "What?"

"What what?"

"D-daughter?"

"Yeah. Sir An Guoting's daughter. His wife gave birth to her last year, but unfortunately, she soon passed away in an accident…" The employee seemed sad. "It's heartbreaking, really…Sir was devastated by her death."

Han Zongying felt as if the earth shook beneath her feet.

"Sir has been taking good care of her. But Miss Caihong is too young to lose her mother. We all feel really sad for her. But we have heard that Sir is looking for remarriage for little Miss Caihong to have a mother."

She froze again. She thought back to the meeting in the restaurant. She remembered Han Liqin saying that there was one important thing about him, but the man would say it himself. Then it would be up to her if she wanted to agree or not.

"It's been only a year since Sir lost his wife, but we all know that he only wants a mother for his child. We understand his decision to remarry," he sighed, "It's hard for Sir. It's like he cannot even mourn Mrs. An's loss…"

She blankly asked, "How long were they married for?"

"Sir married at twenty-six. Two and a half years at most, and then she passed away."

The employee left. Han Zongying stumbled back. Through her blurry and teary eyes, she stared at An Guoting and Caihong.

He...he was married…? He has a d-daughter…?

A wife and a daughter…

A wife and a daughter…

An Caihong...Mrs. An...

She felt dizzy as the words echoed in her mind like an all-out attack. He never wanted her back. He already had a wife. He wasn't single when they met again.

He was widowed.

She didn't know how she made her way back home. She thought about their night. And then she thought about his wife.

Han Zongying collapsed and burst into tears. She felt disgusting. She went to the bath and showered for hours as if she felt filthy.

It was the same feeling she felt when she had seen An Guoting and He Lijuan together.

An Guoting married another woman. He slept with another woman and even had a daughter with her.

Hatred, rage, jealousy, possessiveness, envy, and such emotions made her burn in a fury.

She felt betrayed.

He had a family. But he didn't tell her. Or he didn't bother to tell her. It was supposed to be the other woman coming into their relationship.

But she turned out to be the "other woman" in An Guoting's marriage. Where she couldn't forget him for all these years, An Guoting had already left her behind. He got married and had a daughter.

Han Zongying felt pathetic. She slept with a man who had already given his heart and body to another woman. And he didn't tell her about his wife.

Her heart felt empty. She recalled how he looked happy holding his daughter. But that happiness made her feel disgusted. She then burst into laughter as tears fell from her eyes.

"I won't forgive you for this Guoting. You...have betrayed me. How could you give that place to some other woman!? How could you live happily when I was devastated for all these years!? How could you do this to me, Guoting…? You will pay for hurting me!" She bent on her knees and buried her crying face between them.

A few days later, she fainted and collapsed.

Han Tian had immediately called for a doctor, and that's when they knew that she was pregnant.

Han Huizhong faced her in disbelief. "Pregnant?"

Han Zongying, who rested on the bed, was just as stunned. If she had been still in the dark about An Guoting's marriage, she would have jumped in joy. She would have felt thrilled.

But she didn't because she remembered An Caihong's existence.

An Guoting was happy. He had a wife. He already had a child.

So what about her and the baby in her womb?

Hatred bubbled in her heart. Until yesterday, she cursed for sleeping with him. But that night ended in her pregnancy, so her hatred passed on for her child too. She felt in a complete mess.

She just wanted An Guoting to be hers. So why did he have to go ahead and marry another woman, touch her, kiss her and be happy with her!?

"Zongying!"

Han Zongying snapped out of her stupor as he roared.

"I am asking you something," he grimly said with the most stern and cold look she had ever seen on his face.

Han Liqin sat beside her and held her hand. "Dad, don't talk like that."

Han Huizhong gritted his teeth. "How can I be calm? My daughter is pregnant, and I don't know anything about it. Who the hell is the father? Zongying isn't dating anybody. How did the child pop in out of nowhere?"

Han Zongying trembled.

Han Tian said, "Zongying. Tell us everything. I think it's high time we know about it."

Han Liqin sighed.

She is already afraid. Can't you use a gentler tone?

Han Zongying panicked as she saw her father and brother's grave expressions. She shivered and paled.

Tears pooled in her eyes.

"Zongying…" Han Huizhong warned, "What has happened-"

"G-Guoting! He....He forced himself on me, Dad!"
