“It’s not like I’ve never seen the way you guys got along with one another. You were always the one smiling while he was cold faced as you chased after him. He didn’t like you at all, neither was that true love he had for you. At least, I did not feel anything from his side. I’ve seen how others were when they were in love. They were always especially clingy, unlike you two. I don’t want you to get together with a man that doesn’t love you just for the sake of revenge, and neither did I want you to live in that world of vendetta. That would have been way too tiring of a life. I promised your sister that I would take care of you…”
Towards the bitter complaints of Mo Jin, Shi Guang shook her head. “No, it’s not…”
Mo Jin shouted, “That’s why I told Lu Yanchen that you never ever liked him! That the reason why you were with him was just for the sake of revenge against Yang Sitong! I asked him to never ever appear in your life ever again!”
Those words seemed as though they were thunder that were exploding in Shi Guang’s ears.
She stood up agitatedly and yelled out, “How could you do that? How could you tell him that! That clearly wasn’t the case…! You had me hate him for two years! Two years! And you had him hate me for those two years as well!”
Mo Jin took in a deep breath.
“Sister Feifei was already in that state. I really did not want anything untoward to happen to you as well. You got together with Lu Yanchen for a reason like that. For the time being, no one knows about it. But it will definitely be exposed one day! And when others know about it, how will Yang Sitong deal with you? She was, after all, Lu Yanchen’s fiancée while you were the third party! And it isn’t fair for Lu Yanchen either to be in a relationship that started all because of hatred!”
She then sighed. “Shi Guang, I apologize to you about everything that happened back then. But, I still want to reiterate that be it then or now, I still don’t want you to get involved with Lu Yanchen. People like them are not compatible with you…”
Shi Guang suddenly felt her entire body freezing over, so cold that even her lungs and heart were hurting. “But Mo Jin, I really like him a lot.”
Mo Jin reversed the question angrily, “But what about him?”
When she heard Mo Jin’s question, Shi Guang felt as though she could barely breathe anymore.
She then smiled out weakly, “You’ve only seen how cold he looks usually, but you did not see how he took care of me tenderly. You don’t know that he gave up his chance on an extremely good university for me and chose our secluded little city. You don’t know that he had gone to the Yangs alone to break his marriage agreement with Yang Sitong for me. You don’t know that he had nearly turned things sour with his family for me, that he was whipped bloody by his father. You don’t know that he had done way, way too many things for me …”
Shi Guang’s eyes were turned completely red by her tears. Finishing with her words, she closed her eyes and allowed those tears to fall.
She cried, unable to contain herself, “I’ve always been grudging and hating him. Even after we reunited, I found it amusing that even though he was the one who broke up with me, even though he was the one who had abandoned me, he treated me as though I was the one who had let him down. I thought that there was something wrong with him, something severely wrong! But it wasn’t him, it was me…”
The pain in her heart was completely asphyxiating. It was so stuffy that she could barely breathe—it was the same pain she had felt when he broke up with her two years ago… That same sense of despair that had her feeling as though her heart was being gouged out.
Shi Guang turned around and walked outside, stumbling and wobbling.
“Shi Guang,” Mo Jin’s voice came from behind.
Shi Guang stopped in her tracks.
Mo Jin walked up in front of her. “Where are you going?”
