“Tan Shuangshuang, we can’t keep blaming others. We, ourselves, are to be blamed. It is my fault that I did not see your true colors. Moreover, our love is not strong enough. If our love was strong, I would still love you no matter who you are.” Liu Yuchen regained his composure and walked up to Tan Shuangshuang slowly.
Tan Shuangshuang’s body shook violently. Her eyes were full of sorrow as tears streamed down her face.
“Liu Yuchen, we have been together for so many years but you are saying that our love is not strong enough? All your love and promises back then are nothing but lies?”
“Yes.” The corners of Liu Yuchen’s lips lifted as he smirked.
As if struck by lightning, Tan Shuangshuang stumbled backward in despair. She stared blankly at the man who stood nonchalantly before her. She could feel the pain as if hundreds of thousands of needles were pierced through her heart. She did not even have a feeling so strong when Liu Yuchen had given up on her at the spirit herb store back then.
She knew that Liu Yuchen had chosen his mother as he was too filial but deep in his heart, he still cared for her. However, the man whom she loved and had waited for so many years was actually telling her that everything that had happened before was just a lie.
Tan Shuangshuang broke into laughter and gradually, her laughter grew louder. As she laughed, tears streamed down her face.
“Liu Yuchen, I thought we would be together forever. Even if I knew that I might offend Feng Ruqing, I still stayed by your side. I have never thought that you would be so ruthless and not even spare me a little of your love for me.” The corner of Tan Shuangshuang’s lips curved into a sneer.
Liu Yuchen’s eyes fell on Tan Shuangshuang’s face. He could not help but sigh softly and patted her shoulder slightly.
“Shuangshuang, you can stay in this manor if you have nowhere to go. Whatever you do has nothing to do with me. You mind your own business and I’ll mind mine. If you find someone better, marry him.”
Startled, Tan Shuangshuang let out a boisterous laugh. Tears continued streaming down her face. Her eyes were filled with sorrow.
“Guess what? Somehow, silence is better than words. You actually want me to marry someone else? I have been with you since I was young. We have been together for five whole years. It is such a long time. Liu Yuchen, how can you be so ruthless?”
As Tan Shuangshuang said that, she started screaming her heart out with a profound sorrow in her voice as she ended her sentence.
If they were not meant to be together, why did he pursue her back then?
She was almost twenty now. Without power and a strong foothold in the kingdom, who else could she marry? She could only be someone else’s concubine.
She did not even want to be Liu Yuchen’s concubine back then. She had rather stay with him without marrying him. Now, she had actually come to a state where she could only be someone else’s concubine?
Why could Feng Ruqing live such a splendid life and stand aloof from the ma.s.ses but Tan Shuangshuang was the one to fall into such a sorry state?
Was it just because Feng Ruqing was of royal descent and Tan Shuangshuang was just the daughter of a grand tutor?
Liu Yuchen thought Tan Shuangshuang would leave him by doing this. However, seeing Tan Shuangshuang’s sorrowful face, his heart softened. He could not bear to hurt her anymore.
“Shuangshuang, it has nothing to do with Feng Ruqing. She never looked for me ever since we split. We were the ones who always messed with her. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have fallen into such a sorry state. It is true that she had brought us a lot of troubles before, but she did not do anything wrong after that.”
