Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth, âIs that your reason for doubting me? You think that I would treat you like that?!â
âHavenât you before?!â
Dongfang Yu was taken aback,ââ¦â
Hai Xiaotang didnât even know why she was so angry; she just couldnât control her emotions.
âDongfang Yu, I donât want to doubt you either. But, you even dared to harm yourself, let alone me! No, you have already hurt me⦠Dongfang Yu, youâre really horrifying!â
Dongfang Yuâs pupils constricted!
That one time he hurt Hai Xiaotang seemed to be an indelible stain in his life.
It was because he had manipulated her, deceived her, and hurt her that she couldnât help doubting him.
And her analysis was right, he was indeed the prime suspect.
Dongfang Yu looked grave, âHai Xiaotang, all I can say is, it wasnât me! How could I possibly hurt you that muchâ¦â
âHaââ Hai Xiaotang suddenly let out a sarcastic laugh, her eyes filled with resentment, âThatâs right, how could you possibly hurt me that much. At most, you would personally send me to court and jail! Dongfang Yu, you have no idea how much youâve hurt me!â
âAnd I trusted you like an idiot! Worried for you, sad for you, even thought you were really going to die! But it all turned out to be your plot, you must have thought I was an idiot at that time, didnât you?!â
Dongfang Yu was dumbstruckâ
Holding back her tears, Hai Xiaotang let out a self-deprecating laugh, âI really mustâve had too much to eat talking to you this much. How you treat me doesnât matter at all. You donât need to go to such lengths to make me fall in love with you because no matter what you do, I will never fall in love with you!â
Dongfang Yu widened his eyes, his face paled.
Hai Xiaotang didnât say another word to him and turned to leave.
âHai Xiaotang!â Dongfang Yu suddenly shouted out, halting her steps involuntarily.
Dongfang Yu looked at her retreating figure, pain apparent in his voice, âIâm sorry, I was wrong!â
Hai Xiaotangâs gaze flickered at his words.
âIf I had known that hurting you would cause me a hundred times more pain and regret than I imagined, I wouldnât have done it⦠Hai Xiaotang, youâre right, I donât deserve your love. Because I really hurt you. Iâm sorryâ¦â
Without a word, Hai Xiaotang resumed walking away.
But a single tear rolled down her cheek for no discernible reason.
She didnât know why she felt upset.
Maybe because of her past self, or because of the love they always missedâ¦

Hai Xiaotang didnât leave the villa immediately. She waited downstairs for the driver to arrive before getting in the car and leaving.
Dongfang Yu stayed upstairs the whole time, standing by the window, watching as the car carrying her faded into the distance, as if taking his heart with it.
He stayed up all night, smoked many cigarettes and made a hard decision.
He didnât want Hai Xiaotang to continue suffering this much.
Perhaps, he really should let goâ¦
But the thought of letting her go made him so distraught he couldnât breathe.
He really didnât want to let go.
It was as if letting go would cost him his lifeâ¦
But seeing her in pain made him even less willing.
Therefore, he really should let go!
Dongfang Yu took a deep breath and went downstairs with an empty look in his eyes.
The car that was waiting for him was already parked outside the villa.
The driver respectfully opened the car door for him. Dongfang Yu got in and said coldly, âLetâs go back.â
