Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dumbstruck, Gong Jie rely frowned and kept mum.
Yun Shishi gradually fell back into her seat with her head bowed and shoulders shuddering slightly.
She heard her brother saying to her, “Give up, sis! Leave him, alright?”
“...”
“Sis, it’s impossible between the both of you!”
He sat back down and gently placed his warm palms over her hands. “Co back ho with ! I’ll let you know that you deserve better!”
“What’s better?!”
She shook her head in perplexity, however. “Xiao Jie, tell then; what’s the best?”
“...I can’t answer you.”
“That’s because you’ve never loved soone before.”
He was rendered completely speechless.
Indeed, for all these years, he had never once loved anyone.
What was love?
He did not know at all.
He could not understand the need for marriage or the reason why two people stayed together for life.
To him, won were nothing more than unfathomable existences.
“He’s the best in my heart! No one can replace him.”
He frowned. “Are you certain that he truly loves you?”
“?”
“If he loves you, why did he only reveal your son’s status, while you, as his wife, were excluded?”
A hint of sullenness flashed across the startled woman’s eyes. “You had investigated, right?”
His face stiffened.
“How did you know so much?” She pressed on with her inquisition. “What are you working as? How are you aware of certain matters so clearly?! You told that you run a company; what company is it?”
The man pondered about those questions for a mont before eventually saying, “If you’re willing to return to the Gong family with , I’ll confess everything!”
“Confess?” The look in her eyes suddenly turned cold by a few notches. “So you’ve been lying to all this while?”
Gong Jie: “I...”
“You’re keeping the truth from ? I trust you so much, but why did you lie to ?”
She felt a prick of pain in her heart as she asked in disbelief, “What else are you keeping from ?”
She felt sowhat disappointed with him.
She was originally hoping to receive her brother’s blessings during this etup.
However, what did she receive in the end?
His deceit.
“I... I didn’t! I just don’t wish to hurt you, and that’s why I keep quiet about certain matters!”
“After hurting , you’re now telling that you don’t want to hurt ; don’t you find your words absurd at all?”
She took in a sharp, deep breath before saying, “I trust you, so I’m willing to share everything with you, but now I’ve found out that you’re hiding a lot of things from !”
“Fine! Since you said that you trust and are willing to share everything with , then I ask you!”
He suddenly got to his feet, gripped her by the shoulders, and fixed his stare on her, not allowing her to evade his eyes.
“What happened that year when you were eighteen?!”
A thunderbolt seed to have struck her right then as she instantly turned petrified.
Did he just ask her what happened to her when she was eighteen?
How should she answer this question and explain it to him?
His lips curled into an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry! I know that you might be very disappointed in for running an investigation on you, but I did it out of concern! I know that you have two seven-year-old boys nad Mu Yichen and Yun Tianyou, but that’s all I know about you! Out of respect for your privacy, I refrained from digging deeper into certain matters!”
