She couldn't refute it, but she couldn't agree with it either.
Seeing his serious expression, Shen Huan didn't want to argue with him. He was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the car accident and amnesia? Were they also your doing?"
"Just an accident."
Fu Siyan always had a casual smile on his face, and his deep eyes were three parts cold and seven parts crazy.
It seemed that he could always do things with ease, looking down on the world and watching the show nonchalantly.
This time he rarely restrained his smile, but even though he was serious, the natural wildness and rebelliousness in his peach blossom eyes still revealed a feeling of playing with life, which made people dare not believe it easily.
Chen Huan frowned and looked up at him, "Really? If it was really a complete accident, why were you able to appear at the scene of the accident in the first place?"
He had lied to her before, saying that he was her closest person, so the police contacted him after the incident.
Now that her memory has been restored, this lie is completely untenable because she had never saved his phone number before.
Fu Siyan felt depressed when he met the little girl's gaze.
But after all, he was the one who lied to her first, and it was his own fault that she didn't believe him.
At this point, in order to avoid making the situation worse, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Really, the car accident and amnesia have nothing to do with me. I was able to show up in time because I followed you after you left the City That Never Sleeps."
"You're following me?"
The words Zhou Jingxiu and Shen Yushan said to her, which she didn't want to believe but made her feel faintly panicked, were still ringing in her ears.
Thinking of what Fu Siyan said to her after the first night, Shen Huan pulled the corners of her lips in self-mockery.
"Actually, you wanted to use me to target Zhou Jingxiu, but unfortunately, you miscalculated. I was the one who was abandoned."
She seemed to have always been the abandoned one. Her parents didn't like her, and Zhou Jingxiu didn't want her either.
Even...
All the kindness the man in front of her showed her was just an illusion.
This was all a scam from the beginning. The funny thing is that she is still immersed in it and doesn't want to wake up.
In fact, she should have discovered the flaws long ago, but she wanted to hold on to that rare warmth so much that she chose to ignore those loopholes again and again and not think too deeply about them.
It was his gentle look that made her willingly lose herself in the dream he created, but since it was a dream, she would wake up one day.
Trying hard not to cry in front of him was her last bit of dignity, but the tears she had been holding back flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably again.
Biting his lip, the corners of Shen Huan's mouth trembled, and even the self-deprecating sneer was difficult to maintain. After a pause, he continued:
"He's about to marry Shen Yushan. I won't have any influence on him at all. I've lost my usefulness. You don't have to bother acting anymore. This deal ends here."
There were only two times when she lost her composure in front of him while she was sober.
The first time was when he broke the hairpin Zhou Jingxiu gave her, and the second time was now...
Seeing that she immediately became fragile when she mentioned Zhou Jingxiu, Fu Siyan was so jealous that he didn't know how many jars of jealousy were turned upside down.
But he was still a criminal and could only suppress his anger.
Moreover, he really dug a big hole for himself in this matter.
When she mentioned "transaction", Fu Siyan immediately remembered what he had said to deceive her:
"When I say we're together, it's just a deal. I can use you to fend off pressure from your family to get married, and you can also use me to take revenge on Zhou Jingxiu. How about that?"
If he had known she would lose her memory, he wouldn't have made such a lame excuse.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you, but apart from the matter of my identity, I haven't lied to you about anything else. I'm not with you to target Zhou Jingxiu. I'm..."
"Are you going to say that you really like me?" Before he could finish, Shen Huan interrupted him forcibly.
What he wanted to say was snatched away by her. Facing her cold gaze, Fu Siyan cleared his throat weakly.
He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and coaxed her softly, "It was wrong of me to lie to you. I apologize to you, but I like you, this is true."
"After spending so much time together, can't you feel whether my feelings for you are true or false?"
She was struggling to get up, but the moment she leaned against his arms, she felt his strong heartbeat and paused.
He was indeed very good to her, and after going through so much, she was willing to believe that he was a little fond of her now, but...
Could it be that Zhou Jingxiu really never liked her at all?
If helping her drive away the little boy who bullied him was just a piece of cake, then was it also a coincidence that he rushed to the Shen family to save her when she was punished?
It's just that he changed his mind later, or compromised for the sake of interests. In the final analysis, she was not important enough.
Twelve years of pursuit was already an absurdity, let alone this short period of less than a year.
What's more, even if there is real love, this relationship started with deception and was not pure from the beginning.
Maybe it's just the desire to conquer that's at work.
After a moment of distraction, reason finally prevailed and Shen Huan raised his hand to push the man away.
"Are you trying to say that after you tricked me back, you've fallen in love with me? But what if you don't like me? What are you going to do with me?"
