Chapter 309

Zhang Kai's mind was as clear as a mirror. He was of course aware of how special Xia Ruoan's identity was now, and the powerful forces behind her were protecting her all the time.

It is harder than climbing to the sky to snatch her away from others easily.

Therefore, Zhang Kai never dared to hope that he could directly pull Xia Ruoan to his side, as long as he could watch her from a distance.

At this moment, He Qiuyue, with a red face and tears in her eyes, hurried over.

She stared at Zhang Kai, questioning him, "Is she the one you've always loved? But she's already married and has kids! Why are you still obsessed with her?"

At this point, He Qiuyue became more and more excited, and continued with a little cry in her voice: "For these three whole years, the person who has been with you is me."

"I am the one who takes care of you. But why won't you just look at me?"

He Qiuyue took a deep breath and calmed down a little, but then raised her voice and shouted: "It is well known how much Leng Zexi dotes on his wife!"

"Anyone with eyes can see that you don't have any chance at all. If that's the case, why do you still like her so obsessively and even keep her in your heart all the time?"

The more He Qiuyue spoke, the more she felt wronged. Finally, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down: "Are you really planning to never get married because of her?"

He Qiuyue's heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness when she thought about how she fell in love with Zhang Kai at first sight when she first met him three years ago, and how she later ignored her status as a young lady and willingly stayed by his side as a small assistant.

"She obviously has no feelings for you, so why are you so obsessed with her?" He Qiuyue bit her lip and questioned Zhang Kai angrily.

"If it was just out of kindness, then I would have saved you. But why are you unwilling to give me even a little bit of love?"

He Qiuyue could no longer suppress the surging emotions and grievances in her heart. Tears burst out of her eyes like a flood, and slid down her paper-pale cheeks.

Facing the heartbroken woman in front of him, Zhang Kai still replied expressionlessly: "Many things in this world have no reason at all, and liking someone is even more so. It is by no means as simple as just liking someone for saving your life."

"It's true that you saved my life, but that doesn't mean I have to love you for that."

"You are right. You have done me a favor. If you were after money or fame, I would satisfy you without hesitation as long as it is within my power. However, love is something that cannot be forced."

At this point, Zhang Kai paused, and then continued in an almost indifferent tone: "He Qiuyue, time flies, and the three-year period has passed."

"Throughout these long years, even though you have always been by my side and have done your best to take care of me, unfortunately, I have never been able to develop even the slightest bit of love between a man and a woman for you."

"Now that things have come to this, it's time for you to leave me."

"Besides, the life-saving grace you gave me is just a play you directed and acted out yourself. If it's fake, it's fake."

Hearing these words, He Qiuyue felt like she was struck by a bolt from the blue, and she froze in place.

She stared at Zhang Kai with eyes wide open in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...you actually knew everything? When did you know it?"

Zhang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly and responded coldly: "Yes, two years ago, I realized that your so-called 'life-saving grace' was just an elaborate scam."

"The reason why I chose to pretend I didn't know and agreed to let you stay by my side as my assistant for three years was simply to make you give up."

"To this day, even after spending so much time together, I still have no interest in you."

After hearing this, He Qiuyue involuntarily took two steps back, as if all the strength in her body had been drained in an instant.

She could never have imagined that her plan, which she thought was perfect, had already been discovered by the other party.

"Then why didn't you say it? Why did you allow me to follow you all the time?"

"You actually have me in your heart, right? Otherwise, why didn't you tell me earlier and let me leave early?"

He Qiuyue stared at the man in front of her, with a faint but firm expectation flashing in her eyes.

Zhang Kai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I said, will you really leave obediently?"

He Qiuyue was stunned when she heard this. She looked straight at Zhang Kai's familiar yet unfamiliar face, shook her head slowly and said, "No, I won't leave so easily."

"Even if there wasn't that so-called three-year agreement, I would never give up so easily!"

Although her voice was not loud, the determination contained in it was unquestionable.

Zhang Kai showed an impatient look on his face: "Having you here can indeed help me avoid a lot of trouble. After all, in this foreign country, my ability is not enough to fully deal with a difficult character like you."

"Moreover, three years have passed now, and the facts are before you, and you can see them clearly."

"I have no feelings for you at all, not even the slightest bit of love for you, so can you just give up now and disappear from my side?"

"Being liked by you, I don't feel the slightest bit of joy, all I feel is disgust and aversion!"

Zhang Kai's words were like a sharp sword, piercing He Qiuyue's heart.

He Qiuyue stared at Zhang Kai with eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief. She murmured to herself with trembling lips, "What's so good about her? She can make you so obsessed, but it's obvious that she has never really liked you."

At this moment, He Qiuyue finally understood that what she had always believed about Zhang Kai's ruthlessness was simply because he had given all his affection to another woman.

"I admit that I did lie to you before, but can you really ignore everything I have done for you over the past three years so easily?"

"Isn't all this even as good as the fact that she just blocked a knife for you?" He Qiuyue's face was full of unwillingness.

"If I had seen it at the time, I would have blocked the knife for you."

Zhang Kai seemed unusually calm. He looked coldly at the woman in front of him whose emotions were almost out of control, and said expressionlessly: "There is no such thing as comparability, because from the beginning to the end, I have never compared you with her."

"Her position in my heart has never been shaken. Even if she does nothing for me, I still love her deeply."

After saying this, Zhang Kai no longer paid attention to He Qiuyue, but turned his gaze elsewhere, his eyes full of indifference and ruthlessness.

Then, Zhang Kai added: "This is not a foreign country, so your methods will not have any effect on me at all, and will not pose any threat to me at all."

Then, he turned around, winked at Brother Hai beside him, and said, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Brother Hai nodded in understanding, then pushed Zhang Kai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and prepared to turn around and leave.

However, at this moment, Brother Hai couldn't help but look back at He Qiuyue who was still standing there crying very sadly.

Curious, he asked, "Hey, who is that woman? Could it be that she's the love debt you owed abroad?"

Hearing this, Zhang Kai frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't talk nonsense! I have never provoked her. It is obviously she who shamelessly insisted on coming to pester me."

After saying that, Zhang Kai urged Brother Hai to leave, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer.

"I had already clearly rejected her a long time ago, but who would have thought that she would write, direct and act out a so-called 'beauty saving the hero' just to get close to me!"

"But the funny thing is, she has no idea that the man she likes, both deep in his heart and wherever he looks, is already filled with the figure of another person." Zhang Kai sighed, shaking his head helplessly.

Many people said that he was too heartless and ungrateful. Not only did he turn a blind eye to He Qiuyue's silent efforts over the past three years and didn't take it to heart at all, he didn't even give her the slightest response she deserved.

But on the other hand, Xia Ruoan didn't need to do anything at all. She could easily get all of Zhang Kai's love by just standing there quietly.

Even though Xia Ruoan didn't have that kind of genuine love for Zhang Kai, he still enjoyed it and had no regrets.

On the other side, Xia Ruoan was staring at Leng Zexi, who had remained silent since getting on the car, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Zexi, I really didn't know anything about his coming back before." Xia Ruoan turned his gaze to Leng Zexi and explained softly.

At this time, we happened to stop at a red light. On the huge electronic screen in front of us, news reports about Zhang Kai's academic success and his return home with honor were playing in a loop.

Of course, Leng Zexi couldn't fail to notice these scenes. He turned his head slightly and looked at Xia Ruo'an expressionlessly, "You should know now, right?"

Xia Ruoan looked at the person on the screen and nodded awkwardly, "Got it."

"But we are in different circles, and we won't meet in the future. Besides, there is nothing between him and me. I can't feel much of his love, but I have to endure a lot of disgust before, so you don't have to worry."

Xia Ruoan felt that Leng Zexi's worries were unnecessary.

"There was no possibility for Zhang Kai and I before, and it's even more impossible now. We are husband and wife." Xia Ruoan said, holding his hand.
