Chapter 1835: In This Lifetime, My Heart Will Only Be Moved This Once
“Brother!” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said unhappily.
“I haven’t settled the scores with you,” s.h.i.+ Nancang said. “What did you tell me last time? You said you weren’t close to him, that it’s all because you are close to Lu Man that you ate together with the Han Family elders. You said that you were walking together with him because you couldn’t be a gooseberry around Lu Man and Han Zhuoli. Isn’t that right?”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya hoped that s.h.i.+ Nancang would stop talking soon.
She did not even dare to look at Han Zhuoling now.
Han Zhuoling raised his eyebrow and looked at s.h.i.+ Xiaoya with a wry smile.
“So the previous time, this was how you explained it to your brother?” Han Zhuoling asked with his eyebrow raised.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya: “…”
“At that time, the two of us were not together yet. I didn’t even know that you…” like me… “I couldn’t possibly tell my brother it all happened because of you. That would sound so one-sided.”
Han Zhuoling laughed dryly and decided he would settle scores with s.h.i.+ Xiaoya next time.
When s.h.i.+ Nancang saw how s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was completely behaving like a quail and did not dare to offend Han Zhuoling at all, he felt his heart ache.
Usually, when s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was at home, she was so domineering.
Everyone at home all pampered her.
Yet now, with Han Zhuoling, she was totally not his match.
She might even get bullied by Han Zhuoling eventually.
Thinking about it made s.h.i.+ Nancang depressed.
“Big—” Han Zhuoling paused for a moment. “If you feel uncomfortable that I call you Big Brother, then I’ll just call you Nancang.”
s.h.i.+ Nancang: “…”
Was Han Zhuoling always like this?
He knew how to talk smoothly all by himself. Even if there was nothing to say, he would be able to find something to talk about, was that it?
“I am serious about being together with Xiaoya,” Han Zhuoling said solemnly. “I am the one who had feelings for her first, and I only confessed to her after being sure of my own feelings. I know, I had a past marriage. This is my disadvantage. But I can promise that I am serious about love, and I am loyal in marriage.”
“As for my previous marriage, I won’t elaborate. But as for Xiaoya, she is the first person I fell in love with, and it was the first time my heart was moved. I thought I would never feel this way in my life, until Xiaoya appeared. In my lifetime, my heart will only be moved this once,” Han Zhuoling said seriously.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya did not expect Han Zhuoling to suddenly say all these words.
But when she heard that last line…
In my lifetime, my heart will only be moved this once.
Her heart also shuddered heavily when he said it.
Those were probably the nicest and most touching words she’d ever heard.
And since they came out of Han Zhuoling’s mouth, that was not merely cheap talk. It was just so believable.
s.h.i.+ Nancang thought to himself, “How can you be so sure?”
He did not have any prejudice against Han Zhuoling, just that he did not agree with those words.
This lifetime was not over, so how could anyone be so sure?
But Han Zhuoling seemed to have seen through s.h.i.+ Nancang’s thoughts and said, “Other people might not be sure, but I am, because it is rare that I can be moved. For the past thirty years, my heart has never been moved even once. Now that I’ve met Xiaoya, I can confirm that, for the next thirty years, I will never meet another who can move my heart.”
s.h.i.+ Nancang was also touched.
If other people said all these, he definitely would not believe it.
But from Han Zhuoling, this was way too believable.
Because as Han Zhuoling had said, it was a fact.
In his previous marraige, everyone knew that Han Zhuoling did not have any feelings for his ex-wife, and it was a simple matter of an arranged marriage.
It was not that Han Zhuoling said anything to badmouth Xia Yixin after his divorce.
It was actually Xia Yixin who went around telling other people that Han Zhuoling actually did not love her at all, treated her coldly, did not care about her, and caused her bitterness and dejection in her married life.
