Xirong Ziye sighed. “Don’t you need to take care of your child? Why did you still come here?”
“I told the child’s father that I will be coming. He is supportive of me.”
Xirong Ziye said sentimentally, “It’s pretty nice that both husband and wife can trust each other. This is not an easy feat.”
Zhuang Susu nodded. “Yeah. We had always stayed by each other’s side and trusted each other. It’s pretty good. We’ve come a long way now. However, I came this time to explain the incident last year.”
“Last year?”
“Yes. I want to tell you that I lied to you during that time. Back then, a lady brought her men and suddenly appeared before me. After that…”
Zhuang Susu described how Xiamu Qingyan threatened and held her child hostage.
As she said that, Xirong Ziye was shocked beyond words. When he regained his composure, he started breathing heavily and rapidly as he clutched his chest, which throbbed painfully.
Seeing Xirong Ziye’s reddened face as he tried to suppress his emotions, Zhuang Susu stood up in shock. “Xirong Ziye, what’s wrong? I’ll call the doctor over.”
Xirong Ziye coughed and waved her off. “I’m fine…”
His face was gravely pale as he said, “So, she was the one who did all those things.” As he said that, he could not hold back the surge of anger in his heart and slammed his fist against the side of the bed, turning his knuckles red. Even then, he did not feel any pain. There was only one thing on his mind, and that was how scheming Xiamu Qingyan actually was.
He could not help but suspect that there were many things in the past that could have been arranged by Xiamu Qingyan.
Zhuang Susu sighed. “Xirong Ziye, I know that if I say this, you will hate me as well. As a mother, I had no choice but to save my child. I don’t ask for your forgiveness. I just wanted to tell you so that you won’t take the wrong path. Cherish good women, and don’t be blinded by women with ill intentions.”
Xirong Ziye’s expression was very stiff. He said in a self-deprecating voice, “Susu, I have indeed been blinded in the past.”
Zhuang Susu paused for a moment before her lips curved up as she said, “Xirong Ziye, that’s in the past. It’s good that you understand now. Yaoyao is a good lady. Have you contacted her?”
At the mention of Bai Yaoyao, Xirong Ziye felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. Every inch of it felt like it was bleeding.
He thought that he would be at peace, but he could not be at peace. After hearing Bai Yaoyao’s name, the wound in his heart opened. The scar in his heart had always been there. He could not forget it even if he wanted to.
Seeing Xirong Ziye’s reddened eyes, Zhuang Susu’s heart skipped a beat. “Xirong Ziye, you and Bai Yaoyao?” Zhuang Susu had her guesses, but she did not voice them out.
Xirong Ziye’s throat constricted as he said bitterly, “Susu, I lost Yaoyao. She’s not coming back anymore.”
Zhuang Susu gaped. This time, she really did not know how to persuade him anymore.
“Do you also think I’m very useless?”
Zhuang Susu shook her head. She felt a little sentimental as well. “Xirong Ziye, no matter how long it has been, you are still the outstanding young man in my heart. It’s not that you’re useless. You’re just indecisive when it comes to love. You don’t know what you want and can easily miss what you are really feeling deep down. It was just like before, when we were younger. Even though our relations.h.i.+p was stable, when I told you that I wanted to be with another person, you felt pained, but you won’t ask me the reason. You only believed what you saw and won’t use your heart to feel.”
Xirong Ziye buried his face in his hands to suppress his emotions, but his tears still seeped out from the crevices between his fingers.
He hated himself so much.
“Don’t blame yourself over this. What’s past is past. Remember, love cannot be seen with the eyes. It is felt with the heart.”
