Chapter 196 - The Girl I Should Protect In This Lifetime

She closed the door lightly, but she couldn’t close off everything that happened in the Star Garden in it.

Zhao Yang saw her coming out with her suitcase, but Tang Xin refused to let her help.

“It’s fine. If I can’t even carry my suitcase, how am I going to live in the future?”

Zhao Yang’s hand stopped mid-air and finally followed after her after a while.

The woman walked in front of her with a big suitcase. She wasn’t that strong but her back was straighter than anyone else’s.

Was she wrong? Did she judge her incorrectly?

Was she not as bad as how they saw her?

The corridor was so short that they were at the stairs before Zhao Yang could even think of something to say to the woman. As Zhao Yang watched the woman pick up her suitcase and walk down the stairs, she had the urge to help but she knew that she would be rejected again.

This woman probably wanted to finish walking this path alone, scared that she would give herself the chance to recall all the memories.

As Tang Xin came down the first flight of stairs, she saw the couple standing in the living at the corner. Unnoticeable sorrow flashed across her eyes but she lowered her head and continued to the second flight of stairs.

Step by step, she approached them calmly.

She saw Xia Zhixing’s guilty eyes and smiled lightly, stretching a hand forward.

However, Li Yunshen suddenly shielded Xia Zhixing behind him and looked at her, alerted.

Tang Xin bitterly dropped her hand and looked at Xia Zhixing, “Welcome back.”

Yes, back.

This place belonged to her in the first place.

“Brother Yun…” Xia Zhixing thought that Li Yunshen was too alert and pushed him aside lightly, coming closer to Tang Xin, “Xinxin, are you leaving?”

“Yes, I should go.” Tang Xin glanced at Li Yunshen and replied indifferently.

She thought that she would leave this place as soon as she could, but she didn’t expect herself to be so reluctant when it was really the time to leave.

In a short half a year, there were more things she dwelled on here than the Tang Family. At least this place touched her heart and made her long for it.

The three of them stood there in silence.

Her eyes finally met with his, indifferent, cold, like a pool of dead water.

After a while, he finally declared expressionlessly while wrapping his strong arms around the woman, “She’s back, the girl I should protect in this lifetime.”

Boom!

Tang Xin felt like she heard something collapse in her ears.

Although she repeatedly imagined this scene a long time ago, she still couldn’t withstand the shock when he said it with his own mouth, as his words pierced through her heart, shattering it into pieces.

The only good friend she had turned out to be his love; the love she hid in her heart was finally broken.

In an instant, she lost everything.

No!

Not everything. At least she still had the baby who had just arrived in her stomach…

Tang Xin’s hand touched her stomach lightly and the hand clenching the suitcase’s handle tightened. She tried her best to tell her that she looked fine, she told herself that she wouldn’t let those tears fall.

“I understand. Mail me the divorce form once it’s ready.” She forcefully supported herself and looked at him calmly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

She then smiled lightly and lifted her head up, looking around the house for the last time. Then, she lifted her hand, held the suitcase’s handle, and left.

No goodbye, no blessings. Let her leave quietly and selfishly like this.

She believed that they would have a good life even without her blessings.
