Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Zhou Dayuan, did you know that you were the reason that Older Sister Jian’s parents passed away? If Older Sister Jian did not ask her parents to go to Singapore, if Older Sister Jian didn’t rush them so much, and if Older Sister Jian loved you a little less, her parents would not have gotten into that accident… Woo woo…
“Zhou Dayuan, although you are a doctor, you would never understand the pain a patient with mental illness would feel. You are also unable to imagine how Older Sister Jian went through those years in Singapore… Zhou Dayuan, what do you possess to make Older Sister Jian treat you like this? A romance in her schooling days ended the lives of her family members. She lost herself and her family members. She was all by herself as she was surviving all these years. When she met you again, she was still unwilling to tell you the truth…
“Do you know why she was unwilling to say so? Do you know why she was willing to let you misunderstand her and not tell you the truth? Because they were your parents. She was unwilling to let you know that when you were in trouble, your parents gave up on you! Because they were her parents, she did not dare to open her eyes when there was sunlight because of the two lives lost. She was afraid that she was under your love spell, and she was afraid that her heart would beat for you again. She was afraid that she would start to hope for forgiveness and bliss, and she thought that she did not deserve it all.
“But Zhou Dayuan, she still chose to be together with you… Did you know how did the mermaid got her bliss? The mermaid chopped her most beautiful tail into two pieces, and she took every step towards her bliss while stepping on knife blades…
“Older Sister Jian treated you like this, and how did you treat Older Sister Jian in turn? There was a period of time in the past, you were angry at her, and how did you bully her? You are clear on what you did inside your heart… Older Sister Jian’s character is soft, so you treated her like a soft persimmon in your hands as you squished her. If it were any one of us instead, we would definitely give you a tight slap…
“Woo woo, Zhou Dayuan, do you say that you have saved the entire solar system in your previous life so you were able to meet Older Sister Jian? Actually, how are you matched? You cant even compare to Tang Fan… The time that Tang Fan accompanied Older Sister Jian for was not shorter compared to your time with her, and he only brought happiness to Older Sister Jian, and he did not bring her any sadness…
“Zhou Dayuan ah, Zhou Dayuan, love Older Sister Jian properly. She didn’t dare to tell you that she loved you, but her love for you has already exhausted everything of hers, and now she has given whatever she is left with all to you.”
Ning Qing hung up the call on her end, and Zhou Dayuan slowly put his phone away.
His gaze fell onto the small woman’s face. He stretched his finger to brush Jian Han. Was this the case? It turned out that you loved me this much.
He had always been looking for her throughout these years. He did not hate her for “dumping” him back then. Although he did not hate her, it did not mean that he did not mind. He only did not mention all what happened in the past, because the things that happened back then were a scar on his heart.
He was afraid that she would leave him once again. He did not feel safe and would be panicked and helpless.
So he could not take a single chance. His inner heart was frail as he treated Tang Fan as his enemy, but on the outside, he had to project the image as if he was mighty and nonchalant without a care. He was crazy with jealousy, so that call made him angry and led him to do many… He did not even dare to think of those matters now.
Seven years ago…
How did things look like seven years ago?
He was in prison, and she was outside prison.
Did that judge have bad intentions towards her?
Was she beat up by someone else?
She knelt down during that rainy day for more than one hour?
He still remembered her youthful look at that time. She was a talented student at Oxford, with a gentle and beautiful appearance. The boys that were after her could all line up in a long line, and she was also arrogant as like a princess.
How could a princess do those things?
How could a princess turn into a pitiful orphan, and how did that lead her to get a psychological illness after that?
Those years, he always thought that she was living very well all by herself. How did she get through those times?
Ning Qing was right in what she said. Actually, what did he possess?
Did she love him?
She loved him!
But at the same time she loved him, she was in such pain.
Zhou Dayuan suddenly thought of the day in the graveyard that she did not allow him to touch her. She begged him to leave. She did not want to see him, and she looked at him with a hateful gaze.
That night, when he lay back on the sofa and closed his eyes, he was very very afraid. He did not know if she hated him or not.
But he knew now. It was not that she hated him. She did not dare to let him come near. She did not dare to let her own parents see her being happy. She had a debt, and she thought that she had sinned very much, and she probably only hated herself.
So after she came back from the graveyard, she started to forget many things, many people, and the psychological illness that she battled with a few years ago came back.
Zhou Dayuan lay down. He buried his head in the woman’s tender neck as he sniffed the scent of her fragrance. His large hand weaved into her small hand as he interlocked his fingers with hers.
Jian Han, why do people in love have to be in such pain. What made us turn into the way we are right now? I am in love but unable to get what I want. You cannot profess your love.
It’s all alright. You will not be lost this time around, not with me around.
I will be there for everything.
Early the next morning.
Zhou Dayuan prepared breakfast in the kitchen. He ascended the stairs and prepared to call Jian Han.
He was halfway up the stairs, and the door of the bedroom was open. Jian Han took her bag as she walked out.
Zhou Dayuan saw her, and there was a smile on his handsome face immediately. “Wi…”
He had yet to say the word, “Wifey”, but Jian Han shouted out loud. “Ah, who are you? Why are you appearing in my house?”
Zhou Dayuan’s entire bodytrembled. His dark, moist eyes were fixed on Jian Han’s face.
Jian Han was extremely shocked. She looked at her watch when she woke up, and it was already half past seven. She was going to be late for work, and she didn’t expect that she would see this stranger when she opened the door.
She placed her bag in front of her and looked at the man with a wary gaze.
Zhou Dayuan looked at her carefully. Her eyes looked very foreign. Today, she had finally forgotten him.
Zhou Dayuan did not have much of an expression on his face. He turned around, and went down the stairs. He walked into the dining room and gently said, “Come over and have breakfast.”
Jian Han looked at his back profile and was extremely puzzled inside her heart. Who was this person? Could… Was he…her roommate?
“I am not eating; I am going to be late for work. You can eat…” Jian Han said while she ran in the direction of the door. She suddenly thought of something as she stretched her small head out. “Oi, what is your name?”
Zhou Dayuan watched her dash off in a hurry and knew that she’s also forgotten that she’s pregnant. He welcomed her beautiful and clear almond shaped eyes. He was patient as he answered, “Zhou Dayuan.”
“Oh, Zhou Dayuan.” Jian Han chewed on this name and ran out of the condominium unit in a rush.
As she walked out of the condominium and headed towards the main street, Jian Han froze on the spot. She turned her small head as she looked at her surroundings carefully. Where did she want to go?
She forgot where she was going and forgot what she was going to do.
At this moment, a silver coloured Porsche cruised onto the main streets. Zhou Dayuan looked forward through the window. He saw that small woman at the first glance. On this winter day, she wore a short white cotton coat, matched together with a pair of black tight pants. There was a dark blue sling bag on her shoulders. She had a tall figure. Her simple clothing accentuated her long, slim thighs, and she looked clean and beautiful.
Two and a half months, and she did not have a bump yet.
He was not worried that the pants that she wore were too tight. All of the clothes in the closet had been prepared by him personally, and it was loose at the waist.
It was only when he looked at her behaviour right now, his heart was still beating harshly. She was at such a loss. She froze on the spot, and she lowered her small head with black hair as she looked at her feet. At this moment, she looked like a small girl who was dumped onto the streets and did not know where to go.
Zhou Dayuan turned the steering wheel, and he slowly stopped the car in front of her.
He lowered the car windows, and he looked at her. “Get on board.”
She heard someone talking. Jian Han lifted her head up. She saw Zhou Dayuan, and her eyes were full of doubt and blankness as she said, “Who are you? Are you talking to me?”
Zhou Dayuan’s entire heart sank. Ten minutes ago, she still asked his name inside the condominium unit, and now, she had forgotten him already.
Zhou Dayuan was silent for two seconds before he said, “Aren’t you on your way to work? I will bring you there.”
The moment she heard the word “work,” Jian Han hit her own head immediately. That was right; she was going to work. How did she manage to forget that?
She did not even hesitate. As she went forward, she stretched her hand out to open the back door. She sat inside as she said, “Sir, thank you.”
Zhou Dayuan did not say a single word. He stepped on the accelerator, and the Porsche cruised on the road smoothly.
Jian Han sat out back. She leaned against the window and suddenly heard her stomach grumbling. It turned out that she was hungry now.
She touched her belly. She thought that she should eat something. Her bright almond-shaped eyes searched around, and she realized that there was a thermos container beside her.
Her eyes immediately brightened.
At this moment, a warm and charming voice rang out in her ears, and it brought along happiness with it. “Do you want to eat?”
“Yeah.” She nodded her head.
“Eat then.”
“Really? Thank you for this.” Jian Han took the thermos. She opened it. There was a sandwich inside. It contained eggs and thinly sliced beef. There was a bag of warm milk, and two pieces of sushi, together with some cherry tomatoes with a half of a red grapefruit.
It was a wide spread.
Jian Han took the sandwich and took a small bite. It was the taste that she liked, and everything was what she loved to eat…
Zhou Dayuan looked through the rear view mirror at her. The small woman ate very elegantly. She would not make a sound. Her small, fair hand held the sandwich as she took small bites. There was a little sauce on her fingers. She stretched her small pink tongue out and licked it bit by bit, like a small kitten.
Zhou Dayuan’s handsome face was full of love. He moved his Adam’s apple as he said, “Eating food from a stranger; you are not afraid that I would drug your food?”
Jian Han froze in an instant. She lifted her gaze and she could see half of the man’s face in her line of vision. She did not take a good look just now, but he was really handsome. His features were defined and smooth. His tall nose was like the peak of a mountain.
He was dressed in a high collar black sweater today. He had a red coat on the outside. The simple pairing of these two colours accentuated the warm and elegant aura that he had on his body.
Jian Han felt that she was mesmerized with him. At this moment, the man’s gaze came over from the rear view mirror. He was not hurried or slow. He curled his lips up, as he lazily said, “Don’t you know anything about a man drugging a woman? This car, it is the favourite of men, and you are so beautiful.”
When he said the word “beautiful,” he scanned her figure at the same time.
Jian Han felt all of the blood in her body surge in that instant. “You, you, what do you want to do? I, I, I….”
She stuttered with the word “I” and did not know what else to say.
“Eat your food then. I am just joking with you.” The man was in a good mood, and he lifted his eyebrows up as he broke out into laughter.
Jian Han heaved a sigh of relief. After joking around for so long, he was just fooling around with her.
But, wasn’t his joke a little too inappropriate? She felt her tiny face burn up entirely.
