In her past life, she had loved him humbly for over a decade, only to end up with a shattered home and a ruined life. And now, when she had finally let go and moved on, he claimed to have fallen for her? How was that possible? This was the man she had been infatuated with for a lifetime. She knew Qin Zhen’s personality better than anyone else. If he did not want something, he would destroy it, never allowing anyone else to lay a finger on it.
Seeing her disbelief, Qin Zhen forced a bitter smile. He wanted to deny it too, but time had already revealed the truth. In the past, he had tried to suppress his feelings, claiming it was all a lie. But today, when he saw that teddy bear, he lost control once and for all.
After realizing that she did not love the person she initially liked, he had spent the entire afternoon feeling restless, as if he would lose his chance to reconcile with her if he did not take a step forward.
So he came. He wanted to find out if it was really as he suspected, and if there was even a tiny bit of reluctance in her heart toward him. But he found out that Shen Qingyue had completely let go of him. She had discarded her feelings for him over the past ten years so effortlessly.
Regarding Qin Zhen’s attitude, Shen Qingyue had no other thoughts except amusement. His belated affection was as worthless as grass. In her previous life, he had caused her a miserable death on the streets. How could she possibly change her mind now?
Qin Zhen stood in front of her car, refusing to move. Shen Qingyue did not bother driving and hailed a taxi on the roadside instead.
Qin Zhen saw her intention and had a few bodyguards stop her.
Shen Qingyue was no fool. She did not engage in a brawl with professional bodyguards. She glanced at Qin Zhen impatiently. “What do you want?”
“I have a question for you,” Qin Zhen struggled to control his emotions. “Ten years ago, did you mistake me for the person who gave you the teddy bear?” Shen Qingyue did not avoid the question and replied, “Yes.”
A heavy feeling of discomfort settled in Qin Zhen’s chest, a suffocating sensation like being engulfed by a tidal wave. He fell silent for a moment and then asked, “Did you like me because of the initial mistake?”
“What else could it be? Did we have any connection before that? Did you really think I had a secret crush on you all this time?” The sarcasm in Shen Qingyue’s lips became even more apparent. She could not deny that she had been attracted to him personally during their ten years of emotional pursuit. But now, without the filter of first love, Qin Zhen’s arrogant and self-centered nature became even more evident. There was no redeeming quality in him that she could like.
Qin Zhen took a deep breath. “Let’s forget about the past. Let’s talk about now. I’m willing to start over with you. Will you marry me again?”
Shen Qingyue looked at the man in front of her, wearing a smile that did not reach her eyes, “I believe you should have an answer to this question in your heart, Mr. Qin. You and I can never be together in this lifetime.”
Qin Zhen’s heart sank to the depths of despair. “Is it because of Chi Ming? Have you fallen for him?”
“Does it make a difference? Whether Chi Ming is in the picture or not, I can never reconcile with you,” Shen Qingyue’s dark and silent eyes fixed on him. “Furthermore, divorcing me was your biggest desire, wasn’t it? Hoping that I wouldn’t cling to you was your dream, wasn’t it? I gave in to you and Wei Jiu’er, and now you regret it? When we got married, you were always thinking of Wei Jiu’er. Now that you’re with her, you come to pester me. I can’t help but suspect if you have some kind of fetish, like infidelity? You’re really despicable.”
Bringing up Wei Jiu’er finally cooled Qin Zhen’s temper. He had promised to marry her before… but now, he regretted it. However, after the recent car accident, Wei Jiu’er once again saved his life by donating blood. He owed her his life twice already, and he could not betray her. Moreover, he did have some feelings for Wei Jiu’er.
Seeing him fall into silence, Shen Qingyue coldly smirked, disgusted by this scoundrel. “I’ve decided to completely exit your life. Please don’t say these inexplicable things to me again. I’m truly, truly disgusted.”
She did not want to say anything more to him and turned to leave.
Qin Zhen stood there for a long time before finally returning to the hospital.
Wei Jiu’er was waiting for him in the hospital room, and upon seeing him return, she immediately expressed her concern, “Zhen, where did you go? I was so worried about you… Your injuries haven’t healed yet…” She had tried calling Qin Zhen several times but couldn’t reach him, and she had been anxiously worried that he had gone to see Shen Qingyue.
“It was too stuffy. I walked around near the hospital,” Qin Zhen casually lied, had his bodyguard help him back to the bed, and called a doctor to suture his wounds.
Wei Jiu’er had already sent people to search near the hospital earlier. Besides, would his wounds burst open if he took a walk outside? Wei Jiu’er was not a fool, and though she was furious and wanted to throttle someone, she maintained a smile on her face. “Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, so you should stay in and rest. When you’re feeling better….”
