Was it because she was so confident that Huang Xiaojue had loved her for over a decade? Was it because she had always subconsciously seen him as her final shield, her ultimate protection? Now, it felt as if the rug had been pulled out from under her. That last shred of reliance was gone.
She had never believed he could fall in love with soone else—she hadn’t even dared to imagine it.
So, was that why the reality was so hard to accept when it hit her?
Or perhaps, the real reason she had broken up with him so decisively was because she’d seen him with Zhou Ting and had been secretly jealous, throwing a hidden tantrum?
Ah, won, always so prone to being overly sensitive and selfish.
Yan Xixi, if you couldn’t bear to let go back then, you shouldn’t have ntioned breaking up! Besides, Huang Xiaojue saw you with Wan Donglin first. By what right couldn’t he find another woman?
In this day and age, who would really stay chaste for soone else anyway?
But the resentnt was impossible to suppress. No, I wasn’t the one who wanted to break up! Huang Xiaojue, it was your mother who kept finding fault, bullying , insulting , stirring up trouble, and finally, she even had soone beat and extort ! But what did you ever do for ? Even after you went ho, what did you do? Should this breakup really be blad on ? You never did anything for . You only ever blad .
Did you ever truly love ? If you truly loved , would you have just stood by and watched your family extort like that? Not only did you not reprimand your mother in the slightest, but you also allowed her to beco even more smug and triumphant. Parading Zhou Ting around, was that a show of strength ant for ? A provocation? Do you think you’re so great? Do you think that after breaking up with , you’ll only get better and find even better won—thus proving that your mother’s decision to extort and pressure was correct and wise?
And another thing! Your mother kept calling an unemployed bum. Did I choose to beco unemployed? I had such a good job, such a great opportunity! I quit because of you! But after I quit, what did you give ? Anything?
The more she thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she beca.
At the sa ti, a deep hatred for Huang Xiaojue took root. This is the first ti in my life I’ve ever hated him so much.
That’s how people are. Once they get stuck in a dead end, it’s like a knot that can’t be untied. She lay on the carpet, refusing to eat or drink, as if the spiritual pillar that had supported her from deep within for so many years had suddenly crumbled.
Her cell phone screen lit up.
She glanced at it. Li Zhen.
She had no desire to even open it. Get lost. Anyone even remotely connected to Huang Xiaojue should get as far away from as possible.
She continued to lie there, not even feeling hungry. Drowsy and parched, she was so exhausted she didn’t have the strength to get up for water.
Wan Donglin was stunned when he pushed open the door and ca in.
"Xixi, Xixi! What are you doing lying on the floor?"
He reached out to pull her up. She was limp and weak, her lips chapped and dry.
The mont he touched her, he exclaid, "Heavens, Xixi, you have a high fever! You’re burning up!"
Good grief, had she been lying on the floor all night?
Last night, she hadn’t replied to his texts or answered his calls. He’d assud she was busy studying. He never would have guessed she was at ho alone, passed out—and not just sleeping, but burning with a fever!
"Xixi, Xixi..."
She opened her eyes and looked at him, dazed. Staring blankly as if she didn’t recognize him, she mumbled, "Wha... What are you doing here?"
He was furious. "What do you think I’m doing? You have a high fever! I’m taking you to the hospital."
"Hospital? Why?... So sleepy... I just need to sleep a little... I’ll be fine..."
"You’re burning up like this, and you still want to sleep? If you sleep any longer, you might not wake up!"
