Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Will Not Forgive_1
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian sneered, finding it absurdly funny.
“So, you’ve done all these things because of ?” she asked mockingly. “Why? Why would you do all this for ?”
She was curious to hear what ridiculous excuse Shen Yaxuan could co up with next.
Shen Yaxuan looked at her honestly, confessing, “Because I love you!”
Xia Qingtian was taken aback, but quickly recovered, “After all the tis you have deceived , you think I would believe your lies?”
Shen Yaxuan knew his credibility was bankrupt, so he offered, “If you don’t believe , you could co ho with , and I can show you evidence!”
“I’m not interested,” Xia Qingtian had no interest in going ho with him to see any evidence, “In short, I’ve said what needed to be said. Don’t follow
anymore.”
With that said, she was ready to turn and leave.
“Wait…” Shen Yaxuan grabbed her wrist, “I know you don’t like owing people anything, especially . If you cooperate with
today, it will compensate for what I did to save your life, and we will be even.”
He wanted Xia Qingtian to see his sincerity, not to think of his confession as another lie.
Even if she did not accept, at the very least, she should know that he truly loved her.
Xia Qingtian agreed, “Fine.”
Shen Yaxuan was right; she didn’t like owing others.
Hence, Shen Yaxuan handed over the inspection of the old city’s renovation to soone else and took Xia Qingtian back to his ho.
He opened a quiet attic on the top floor and made a beckoning gesture toward Xia Qingtian, “Co in…”
Xia Qingtian entered cautiously.
The attic was small with sparse furniture. The walls were entirely covered with portraits of a beautiful, young girl.
The girl bore the sa face as hers.
All these portraits were undoubtedly of her.
Xia Qingtian was quite startled, “These are…”
Shen Yaxuan looked at her lovingly and said, “These are all hand-drawn by . They are the countless mories of you in my mind.”
Indeed, Xia Qingtian could feel the strong love emanating from these drawings, and she began to believe—
Shen Yaxuan liked her!
Shen Yaxuan looked deeply into Xia Qingtian’s eyes, “Qingtian, I genuinely love you, and I want you to be happy.”
“You didn’t recognize , so you probably don’t rember. But I’ve always rembered that when I was very young, we were both kidnapped. You happened to be passing by and were mistakenly kidnapped too. We were locked in a dark warehouse for four days and four nights, and you encouraged and comforted
the whole ti…”
“After we were rescued, my parents sent
abroad. I’ve been looking for you and inquiring about your whereabouts until we finally t again, and I recognized you at once! But you didn’t rember !”
“When Jingyan had
searching for the woman from the Imperial Hotel that night, and I found out it was you, it devastated . In the end, I chose to let you be with him, but just as I prepared to tell him the truth, I found out you weren’t happy, and that you were even imprisoned by him.”
“After you fled from him, weren’t you trying to escape him forever? If he hadn’t found you and brought you back to A City, you would have already moved on and lived a life without him.”
“Everything I’ve done up till now, including helping Chen Momo, was because I wanted you to be happy and free. As long as you’re happy, I’m willing to do anything, even betray my best friend or risk my own life, without any hesitation.”
He poured out all the secrets he’d held in his heart, and suddenly felt much lighter.
He looked at Xia Qingtian hopefully, “Qingtian, can you forgive
for the deceit I’ve committed before?”
Back in the hospital, Xia Qingtian had been having pleasant conversations with him.
He couldn’t bear to see her returning to her frosty deanor.
Xia Qingtian was stunned, recalling the kidnapping incident from her childhood. She never imagined that he was Shen Yaxuan.
She was filled with mixed emotions, but flatly responded, “I’m sorry, but I can’t forgive you.”
Shen Yaxuan’s face suddenly beca stiff, “Why, everything I have done is all…”
“Please stop saying that everything you’ve done is for …” Xia Qingtian cut him off, “That’s just your wishful thinking.”
“I want happiness, I want freedom, I can fight for that myself. I don’t need you to deceive
and manipulate
under the guise of caring about , of loving .”
“Maybe you really do love , maybe your intentions are good, but everything you’ve done has hurt . I will never forgive your manipulations, nor will I forgive your deception.”
Shen Yaxuan suddenly seed utterly dejected.
Everything that needed to be said was said: Xia Qingtian didn’t want to stay with Shen Yaxuan any longer.
“Alright, you’ve done what you wanted. We’re even now. From this point on you follow your road and I’ll follow mine. Let’s stop bothering each other.”
With that, she turned and walked away.
This ti, Shen Yaxuan didn’t stop her.
As she approached the door, Xia Qingtian seed to rember sothing and paused, “Please stop pretending to act in my interest and hurting
and deceiving , or I’ll hate you even more.”
This ti, she didn’t stay; she left entirely.
Shen Yaxuan sat in the loft, looking lost, gaping at Xia Qingtian’s face in the painting, thinking about what she’d just said. His face revealed deep love and struggle.
Did he really do sothing wrong?
Should he really let go? Not interfere with her and Jingyan’s matters?
And should he not help Chen Momo anymore?
…
anwhile.
Chen Momo was living comfortably in the old house.
Master Bo would have the servants make her the priority in the mansion, and he would even ask her personally if the baby in her belly was behaving every day.
Sotis when he went out, he would bring back gifts for her and the baby. Chen Momo believed that over ti Master Bo’s feelings for her unborn child would only deepen, exceeding those for Xia Qingtian.
Chen Momo’s plan was going well. She was in high spirits and wanted to celebrate with soone.
The first person she thought of was Shen Yaxuan.
So, she called him and planned a eting place.
Chen Momo told Master Bo that she was going out and then left.
Upon arriving at the agreed location, she found out that Shen Yaxuan had chosen a bar, and it was incredibly smoky.
When she found him in the VIP room, he was already drunk.
Chen Momo went up and took the drink from Shen Yaxuan’s hand, “Mr. Shen, why have you drunk so much?”
Even after his drink was taken, Shen Yaxuan wasn’t angry. He just picked up another bottle and started to drink from it.
Chen Momo had known him for quite a while, but this was the first ti she saw him so dejected.
She knit her brows, “Mr. Shen, what the hell happened to you?”
She worried that if Shen Yaxuan continued to drink like this, it would affect her, because she had her prenatal appointnt in a few days.
To deepen the emotional bond between Master Bo, her, and the baby, she had asked Master Bo to accompany her.
She would need Shen Yaxuan to make arrangents at the hospital.
“Chen Momo, should I give up?” asked Shen Yaxuan, after swallowing his drink.
