Chapter 41 Even Hate Must Be Intertwined
"What's it to you? Let me go!"
Shen Shuangmiao's tone was irritable. After finishing her drink, she faced Zhu Jin with an obvious hint of annoyance in her eyes.
She tried to push Zhu Jin away, but he wouldn't let go, looking down at her and demanding, "Were you drinking with your business partners or with Fu Xuan?"
Shen Shuangmiao's temper flared up, and she looked at him coldly and said, "Of course I'll follow Fu Xuan."
Zhu Jin's expression darkened further, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sneer, looking at her with a half-smile.
“Fu Xuan is really thick-skinned, how boring.” Zhu Jin said sarcastically, “His girlfriend came back covered in hickeys and he didn’t even get angry with you. What, does he know we’re still husband and wife, but he doesn’t dare to make a scene after we had sex and let others know he’s the other woman? It seems he doesn’t like you that much.”
Shen Shuangmiao felt a sharp pain in her heart from his sarcastic words.
She laughed, "Who said he doesn't like me? It's precisely because he likes me that he won't resent or blame me when he sees me being bullied by you. He won't misunderstand and think he's much more magnanimous than you just because he sees the hickeys on my body!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Jin's expression changed. He gripped her chin even harder with his large hand, bringing their noses together, almost kissing her.
He stared intently at Shen Shuangmiao, asking each word carefully, "Are you blaming me for not being magnanimous enough? Blaming me for not seeing you two go back to the hotel together that night, and then clinging to you as if nothing had happened, liking you?"
"You're dreaming!" Zhu Jin's tone suddenly became urgent. "Shen Shuangmiao, in my eyes you've long been tainted. You still think you can live without any resentment with me for the past two years? Is that even possible?"
Shen Shuang Miao Ting was both anxious and pained.
She couldn't understand what Zhu Jin was saying at that moment, but she could sense that Zhu Jin was filled with disgust for her when he said these things.
Shen Shuangmiao couldn't understand what she had done wrong.
He said she was dirty?
Shen Shuangmiao felt a surge of unease.
Her eyes reddened, and she choked back tears as she questioned, "If you didn't want to marry me, didn't want to live a good life with me, why didn't you say so from the beginning? Why didn't you make things clear before I pressured you to marry me? Why didn't you tell me that you regretted it when we went to get our marriage certificate after my divorce?"
"The person you truly want to be with is Miss Zhou. Why did you keep quiet and make me suffer for two whole years, wait for you to come home for two whole years? Only now are you showing me with your actions that you actually liked and cared about Zhou Wu a long time ago, right?"
Today, emboldened by the alcohol, Shen Shuangmiao went all out, questioning Zhu Jin again and again, venting all her grievances.
"I liked you so much, and I waited for you foolishly. If you didn't like me, you could have just said so. I'm not trying to cling to you or refuse to let go. But why did you waste two years of my life like this? Why?"
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became. She pounded on Zhu Jin's shoulder and pushed him, trying to get him away from her.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Zhu Jin never let go of her, his eyes fixed on her frantic state. His voice suddenly lowered.
"What did you just say? You like me, you've always liked me? So even if you betrayed me, even if you're with someone else, you don't have them in your heart?"
Shen Shuangmiao didn't understand what he meant and sneered.
"You're overthinking it. Those were my thoughts before. I don't like you at all anymore. Who do you think you are? Do you think you're still worthy of my affection as before?"
"No, from the moment you got together with Zhou Wu, I stopped liking you!"
She thought of Fu Xuan and said softly, "The only person I like right now is Fu Xuan, so you should just give up!"
As soon as Shen Shuang finished speaking, Zhu Jin's expression changed completely.
He was both consciously and unconsciously aware that these words had enraged Zhu Jin.
But what's the big deal? She's not afraid!
Shen Shuangmiao's heart swelled with joy. After speaking, she pushed Zhu Jin aside and walked inside.
Zhu Jin turned around and looked at her back, clinging to her back like a ghost.
A warm breath brushed against Shen Shuangmiao's ear.
"If you don't like me, how do you feel about me now?"
Shen Shuangmiao stopped walking, turned her head to look at him.
"hatred."
Zhu Jin paused, thinking he had misheard.
"What did you say?"
"Yes, I hate you, I despise you, and I want you to disappear from my world forever. You'd better get a divorce certificate with me right away, or I'll sue you. Just you wait and see." Shen Shuangmiao's words were even more ruthless.
Zhu Jin's face darkened, his eyes becoming so gloomy that even the light from the door couldn't penetrate them.
Are you absolutely determined to divorce me?
“Yes.” Shen Shuangmiao answered without hesitation, “Now you understand, even if she stays away from me, I’m letting go so you and Zhou Wu can be happy, so why are you still bothering me?”
Zhu Jin took a step back and murmured, "Why? I want to know why too. I wanted to get rid of you and forget you more than anyone else. Two years ago, when I liked you the most and did everything for you, you betrayed me."
"But why do I..." Zhu Jin hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly woke up.
As if he had just thought of something, he pushed Shen Shuangmiao away.
He said coldly, "Enough with this nonsense. If you dare to file for divorce, I'll make sure your studio goes out of business."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuangmiao's eyes widened in disbelief, never expecting to hear such a thing.
Why?
She was completely stunned, staring intently at Zhu Jin, and persistently asked, "Why are you doing this to me? You clearly like Zhou Wu and want to marry her. Please, stop messing with me, okay? Please let me go."
Shen Shuang's words were filled with pain and pleading.
Zhu Jin chuckled and whispered almost frantically in her ear.
He said, word by word, "Shen Shuangmiao, since you've provoked me in this life, I will fight you to the death. If you don't like me or hate me, then we'll hate each other and keep entangled. You'll never, ever get rid of me, understand?"
These words haunted Shen Shuangmiao's mind like a nightmare all night.
The next morning.
Shen Shuangmiao suddenly woke up, sat up, and gasped for breath, unsure whether she was in reality or in the same nightmare.
She slowly exhaled, closed her eyes, and tried her best to calm down. Seeing the morning sunlight shining into her room, she suddenly woke up, got out of bed, and went to wash up.
As Shen Shuangmiao recalled everything that had happened last night, even her brushing of her teeth slowed down.
Looking at herself in the mirror, her eyelids slightly swollen from drinking, she suddenly remembered Zhu Jin's last words.
Even if they hate each other, they'll still keep entangled...
What exactly is he trying to do? Was that a ploy to provoke him, or was it genuine?
