Chapter 35 - How Can She Fall in Love with Someone Else? (1/2)

Xu Zijin paused for a moment, and then broke into a smile. Fu Sinian discerned some signs of irony on her white face.

“He made my life a living hell, but you save me from the hell. You can’t be Fu Sinian. Chen, don’t joke around about something like that. I don’t like it.”

Fu Sinian got a lump in his throat, all sorts of feelings welling up in his heart as he asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you hate him?”

“Hate? Of course I hate him. He killed my father and Aunt Liu. He destroyed my family. He even took the life of my baby. I hate him to the utmost degree. In fact, I once thrust a sharp knife into his chest and tried to kill him.”

When she spoke of those bad experiences, she was much calmer than she had imagined. Maybe it was because she had Fu Chen by her side.

However, Xu Zijin knew clearly that she wouldn’t forget Fu Sinian in her whole life not only because she was so deeply hurt by him that it might take forever for the wounds to heal, but also because he never loved her.

Xu Zijin burst into self-mocking laughter and said, “I intended to hate him for the rest of my life, but I found that it was so tiring. He isn’t worth my love and I don’t want to get entangled with him for a whole life. Now, I don’t want to hate him or love him.”

Her last sentence was a hammer hitting at his heart. The bitterness rose like bile into his mouth, as he felt himself wallowing in despair’s cold embrace.

She finally gave up loving him and cast him aside. She didn’t even intend to hate him anymore.

She was going to expel him from her life and regard him as a stranger.

Something like panic overtook Fu Sinian. ‘No! She can’t do that…’ he thought.

Just as he was going to lose control of his emotions, Xu Zijin spoke again.

After a moment’s hesitation, Xu Zijin gritted her teeth and asked, “Chen… Do you want me?”
