Chapter 57 – She didn’t dare to move (6)
In the face of Ye Qing’s questioning, Lin Zhan explained, “I didn’t tell you because I never considered myself a mber of the Lu family. I told you before that my mom is my only relative. Now that my mom has passed away, I have no one else except you.”
“You’re just making excuses! If you really love , you would unconditionally tell everything!”
Lin Zhan was silent.
It was true that he shouldn’t have hidden this secret from Ye Qing.
Ye Qing had just finished showering, so the narrow and dimly lit space was filled with the scent of her soap and shampoo. The mixed scent was sweet, but didn’t sll cheap. It was the complete opposite of her previous fresh and pure scent.
Lin Zhan was beginning to realize that the woman standing before him had stopped belonging to him on the day she had left him.
But, he wasn’t willing to give up yet!
“Qingqing, it’s not too late for us. Leave with .”
“Leave with you? How can I leave with you? I’m already Lu Beichuan’s wife!”
“Don’t be stupid!” Lin Zhan felt resentful that she was willfully oblivious to the truth. “If even I can see it, how can you not see it too? Lu Beichuan doesn’t have the slightest amount of feelings for you. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in a loveless marriage? Have you forgotten what you said to back then? You said that even though I have nothing, you’re willing to follow !”
When Ye Qing was younger and inexperienced, soone asked her if she would rather sit on the back of a bicycle and laugh, or sit inside a BMW and cry.
At that ti, Ye Qing had a BMW, so she answered in high spirits, “The first one.”
However, after going through a lifeti of struggling to earn money for life’s daily necessities and seeing Ye Zhen’s blissful and fortunate life, she was extrely regretful of her choice.
At that ti, after seeing Ye Zhen in the car, she kept thinking that if she hadn’t freely given over the identity of Mrs. Lu, she would be the one sitting in the Bentley!
The life that Ye Zhen was living belonged to her too!
Ye Qing shook her head. In a calm tone, she said, “No, I wasn’t the one that said that.”
Lin Zhan though she was in denial. “Stop lying to yourself. Qingqing, leave with . I promise that I’ll do my best to give you a good life.”
In the dimly lit bathroom, Ye Qing looked at Lin Zhan’s eyes.
She could now see that Lin Zhan’s youth gave him unwarranted self-confidence. Back then, she hadn’t understood how society worked and how hard it was to make a living. Back then, she bumped into his handso self on a basketball court. He did remarkably well in school and had been the most popular person in his school. It was hard for her to forget her youthful romance.
However, after a lifeti of experience in her past life, the brief period of her youth had lost its importance to her a long ti ago. During the long span of her hectic life, who had the ti and energy to fondly think about love?
“Lin Zhan, I really wasn’t the one that said those words. It was Ye Zhen.”
Lin Zhan frowned. “What do you an?”
“We’ve already gotten to this point. I’ll speak frankly.” Ye Qing calmly said, “Back then, I wasn’t the one that wrote over 20 love letters to you, or the one that accompanied you in your restaurant job. When you fainted and was sent to the hospital, I wasn’t the one with you. The person that tirelessly took care of your sick mother wasn’t either. I’m not the type of person to write weepy love letters. I wouldn’t be willing to get myself dirty by doing manual labor at a restaurant. You’re so tall. I wouldn’t bother trying to carry you to a hospital. If I had to care for your mother back then, I would have just hire caretakers for her. Ye Zhen is the one that’s willing to do those types of things. It was Ye Zhen that did all those things back then, not .
Lin Zhan held his breath. It was as if his consciousness was too shocked to react. “What... what are you saying?”
