Long Night

When she was young, he said, "When we grow up, I'll marry you, then no one will dare to bully you anymore."

Later, he did marry her, but it wasn't because of that promise; it ...

Chapter 433 Chapter 433 When she acquiesced

It seemed like the wind was blowing, and the night wind, carrying the chill of the late night, blew in my face, rustling the lush branches and leaves above my head.

Shen Qinghuan frowned slightly and unconsciously wrapped her long windbreaker around herself, trying to wrap herself tighter.

She glanced at Jiang Yu again, her eyes filled with helplessness and anger, "Are you so desperate that you have to drink too much?"

Jiang Yu: ā€œ!!ā€

He just had insomnia recently and took sleeping pills, but they didn't work very well.

So, he thought about getting drunk and then having a good sleep.

Jiang Yu didn't tell Shen Qinghuan about his insomnia. He just apologized to her in a gentle voice: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry for bothering you."

Shen Qinghuan opened her mouth slightly, really wanting to just leave him here and leave him alone.

Excuse me? Excuse me?

Listen! Is this what a human being would say? He must have stabbed her in the heart on purpose! If Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang were still alive...

As she thought about it, she felt an inexplicable sense of bitterness.

Shen Qinghuan suddenly felt that she was actually the same as Jiang Yu. She had family, but it seemed like she had no family at all. Her mother, Xiang Huili, had never cared about her life or death. Jiang Yu's parents hadn't cared about him either, and hadn't cared about him since he was a child...

"I'm sorry about what happened last time! I wasn't thoughtful enough. I should have told you before I left."

She apologized to him solemnly.

Shen Qinghuan will never know that when Jiang Yu learned that she had checked out and left, his heart suddenly became as desolate as the wilderness in midwinter. He was like an abandoned child, left there forever.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then sneered without even looking up, "Last time? When was the last time? I don't even remember."

Shen Qinghuan closed his eyes tightly, suppressing the inexplicable anxiety in his heart, and his voice became cold. "Since you don't remember, then forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows sarcastically, "You've already said it, and I've heard it. How can I pretend you didn't say anything?"

"Jiang Yu! Don't use the alcohol to mess with me!"

She frowned, her face looking very ugly.

In Shen Qinghuan's eyes, Jiang Yu was simply being unreasonable at this moment. She had already apologized to him. Moreover, she didn't think she had done anything wrong in that matter. If there was any fault, it was his fault first.

Listening to Shen Qinghuan's words, Jiang Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but smile, "Am I making trouble with you?"

He looked at her with drunken eyes, full of self-mockery.

Yes!

It's all his fault. If he hadn't abandoned her, how could she have lost the baby in her belly!

After all, it's all his fault!

Jiang Yu was filled with self-blame. It was his fault! It was all his fault! Without even glancing at Shen Qinghuan, he took a step forward, stumbling forward.

Shen Qinghuan was stunned, and hurriedly followed him, then shouted coldly: "Jiang Yu! Stop right there!"

But he seemed not to hear and continued to stumble forward.

Shen Qinghuan opened her mouth slightly and lost her patience in an instant. She ran forward and stretched out her hand to block Jiang Yu's way.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to stop, lower his eyes, and stare intently at the bright and angry little face.

Is she angry?

Suddenly, there was a dull pain in my chest, as if someone had hit me hard with a sledgehammer. The intense pain instantly spread to every corner of my body.

He raised his hand and stroked her cheek with his slightly calloused fingertips.

Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and almost subconsciously took a few steps back, her fingertips unconsciously clenched tightly, "You, you drank too much! I'll take you home." She said uncomfortably.

Jiang Yu suddenly smiled and slowly withdrew his hand, "No need, I can take a taxi back by myself." After he said that, he continued walking forward.

Shen Qinghuan's remaining patience had almost been worn out by him.

She turned around, grabbed his arm, and tried to make her voice sound gentle: "Jiang Yu, I promised Grandpa that even if we are not husband and wife in the future, I will not leave you alone."

Jiang Yu stared at her, his lips curled up in a sarcastic tone, "So, you're going to the other side to pick me up tonight because of Grandpa's face?"

Shen Qinghuan choked and pursed the corners of her lips slightly.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Jiang Yu spoke calmly, his drooping eyelashes hiding the intense guilt and the gradually fading light in his eyes.

"Huanhuan, if being involved with me puts you in such a difficult position, why don't you just follow your heart and stay away from me? Don't worry! I will take good care of myself and won't let you down."

"I……"

Shen Qinghuan choked and wanted to say something, but in the end, only a single word came out.

She stood there, watching Jiang Yu gradually walk away.

She knew very clearly in her heart that she still couldn't get over that incident, and she still couldn't forget that helpless and desperate night.

That was her first child with him...

It was not until she saw Jiang Yu get into a taxi that she returned to the car in a daze. However, she did not start the car immediately. Instead, she sat quietly in the car, with Jiang Yu's dull eyes in her mind.

She remembered that he was not like this before.

It was already very late when Shen Qinghuan returned home.

After taking a shower, she went straight to bed to rest.

But when she lay in bed, she couldn't fall asleep, just like when she was in the car before, her mind was full of that cold face and those dull eyes.

After all, I'm worried about him.

Shen Qinghuan still struggled to get up from the bed, then picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Yu's number.

Huh? Why didn't he answer? Was I really going to cut ties with him, or...did he forget his phone?

Just when Shen Qinghuan thought he couldn't contact Jiang Yu, the phone suddenly connected and the call timer began to display on the screen.

Her heart skipped a beat. Doesn't he want to talk to me anymore?

Shen Qinghuan lowered his eyes, a hint of loss in his eyes.

Have they finally reached the point where there's nothing more to say? She lowered her head, the corners of her lips curling up in a particularly sarcastic smile.

Some people say that if you truly love someone, no matter how deeply you are hurt, when he or she comes back to you, you still can't help yourself...

The fingers holding the phone tightened unconsciously, Shen Qinghuan opened her mouth slightly, and said softly: "I, I just want to know, are you home now?"

On the other side of the phone, Jiang Yu was lying lazily on the sofa, holding the phone in one hand and a highball glass in the other.

There was a freshly opened bottle of red wine on the coffee table.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, a playful smile on his lips, a slightly cold smile that did not reach his eyes, "Shen Qinghuan, are you concerned about me?"

"Jiang Yu, even if you and I are just friends, I will call to ask if you have arrived home!"

In the end, she still didn't dare to admit it. Even though he hurt her, she still couldn't let him go completely.

She will never forget the past. He is a beam of dazzling light that shines into her dark world.

"Really? But I don't like it, Shen Qinghuan. You know, I never need a friend like you." Since I have already decided to stay away from him, why bother to call and pretend to care about him? It is better to be indifferent.

"Jiang Yu!"

Shen Qinghuan got angry, suddenly raised his voice, and his expression turned ugly.

Jiang Yu continued to smile nonchalantly, the goblet swaying gently in his hand. After the laughter wore off, his eyes were filled with mockery. "Shen Qinghuan, can you tell me what it takes for you to forgive me?"
