"Hey, don't go!" Seeing Zhou Jinglan stop, Leng Yinghong panicked and rushed to him, spreading her arms to block his way. She gestured anxiously, "Zhou Jinglan, it's me, it's Leng Yinghong! Don't you recognize me? That can't be, we've been together for so long..."
"Shut up!" Zhou Jinglan interrupted Leng Yinghong.
Bringing up the old story again didn't make him feel warm or happy at all; he only felt disgusted and even wanted to vomit.
The most beautiful person and memories in his heart were defiled by this filthy woman. He hated Leng Yinghong so much that he also hated himself for being so easily deceived and manipulated!
"You still dare to mention your crimes?" Zhou Jinglan said coldly, his eyes fierce, looking at Leng Yinghong as if she were a dead person.
He was bound by his moral compass as a person; otherwise, he wouldn't even dare to imagine what he might do.
"Don't be so fierce. If you don't like it, I won't mention it again," Leng Yinghong said aggrievedly, staring straight at Zhou Jinglan with a shy, pitiful, and somewhat longing look in her eyes.
She was very dissatisfied with Zhou Jinglan's attitude.
It's Zhou Jinglan's good fortune that Leng Yinghong is interested in a disfigured, ugly man. Yet he still acts arrogantly in front of her. He really doesn't understand the situation.
But Leng Yinghong wanted to cling to this powerful figure, so even though she was unhappy, she had to endure it.
Thinking of winning this man over first, so that she wouldn't have to worry about getting revenge later?
“Jinglan, I know I was wrong about what I did before. I’m sorry, I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?” Leng Yinghong asked.
Zhou Jinglan immediately wanted to refute, he couldn't stand Leng Yinghong's inexplicable words, but before he could speak, Leng Yinghong, who was even more anxious than him, had already confessed her feelings.
"Actually, when I was inside, I didn't hate you at all. On the contrary... I was very worried about you. I knew you were badly injured and I was especially worried about you. I wanted to take care of you by your side. Now that I see you are doing well and the scars on your face have healed a lot, I finally feel at ease."
“Those things in the past weren’t my doing; my parents forced me to lie to you. But… I’ve truly fallen for you. Can’t you feel that? Even though you put me in jail, my feelings for you have never changed. Even though you’re disfigured now, my feelings haven’t changed!”
"Jinglan, let's get back together, okay?" Leng Yinghong said, moving closer to Zhou Jinglan. "If we go back to the way things were, I'll treat you even better than before!"
Zhou Jinglan felt nauseous just listening to it.
Now he finally understood what Leng Yinghong was up to. She actually wanted to rekindle their relationship? That was utterly delusional. It disgusted him. Was she using him like a sieve?
"Leng Yinghong, do you think it's possible?" Zhou Jinglan asked coldly, his demeanor remaining indifferent throughout.
Furthermore, as Leng Yinghong moved forward, he kept retreating to maintain a safe distance, especially so as not to disgust himself.
"Jinglan, I know you still have reservations, but we do have a foundation of love. As long as we stay together, we can definitely forget those unpleasant things from the past and live our lives happily together—"
"Shut up!" Zhou Jinglan could no longer bear it. "Impossible, never possible. You're a liar. I could never be with you. I feel disgusted just looking at you."
These words were spoken through gritted teeth.
Leng Yinghong was surprised that despite her repeated attempts to lower herself to please and even flatter Zhou Jinglan, he remained unmoved and even verbally abused her. She was immediately very unhappy.
"Zhou Jinglan, do you know what you're saying?" Leng Yinghong stopped pretending and reverted to her usual self, revealing her ugly side.
Zhou Jinglan didn't answer, nor did he intend to argue any further, and turned to leave.
Leng Yinghong refused to give up and raised her hand to block Zhou Jinglan's way. She was determined to achieve her goal today and would not let him leave.
"Don't leave!" Leng Yinghong blocked his way, her neck stiff as she said, "Zhou Jinglan, can't you face reality?"
"You still think you're the Zhou Jinglan you used to be? Look at yourself in the mirror now. What woman wouldn't be afraid of you? What woman would want to be with you? It's only because I still care about our past relationship that I don't mind your disfigurement. You're a lonely man no woman wants, and you think you're so desirable? Hahaha..."
Leng Yinghong laughed without restraint.
She has to crush Zhou Jinglan first, then give him a piece of candy, so that Zhou Jinglan will realize how precious her unwavering support is.
But Leng Yinghong's plan was completely wrong.
The disfigurement did indeed have a certain impact on Zhou Jinglan. He also admitted that he had feelings of inferiority, but that was only when facing the Little Goddess.
Apart from that, Zhou Jinglan never felt inferior at any time or in front of anyone. His scars were his medals of honor, the honor of saving people. Why should he feel inferior because of them?
Leng Yinghong's attempt to use this to trample on him was a grave mistake.
Zhou Jinglan not only did not feel inferior and lose heart, but also felt that Leng Yinghong was really crazy and was not like him at all. How could he have been so blind before?
"Ridiculous." Zhou Jinglan's face was full of mockery and disdain, and his contempt for Leng Yinghong was palpable.
Since Leng Yinghong was so determined to stop him, Zhou Jinglan didn't force his way out, lest he give her a chance to stage an accident.
This woman is capable of anything.
"What are you so proud of? Do you think you're still the Zhou Jinglan you used to be?!" Leng Yinghong exclaimed anxiously.
She never expected that Zhou Jinglan would remain unmoved by her trampling and even insulting words!
No, he's faking it, he must be faking it!
Zhou Jinglan's heart must be broken and he has collapsed. He is just putting on a brave face now!
"Jinglan, you don't need to pretend so hard in front of me. You can be yourself, and I will never look down on you. My feelings for you have never changed!" Leng Yinghong stopped yelling and went crazy and returned to her gentle and tender mode.
Zhou Jinglan: "..."
This guy's been in jail and it really messed up his brain. He looks pretty crazy. One minute he's all baring his teeth and claws, the next he's acting pitiful. I bet he has some kind of schizophrenia.
Zhou Jinglan silently snapped himself out of his daze, realizing he had to be on guard and absolutely could not fall for her tricks again. Otherwise, he might as well atone with his death. It would be too embarrassing to fall for the same woman twice.
So he just stared at Leng Yinghong, watching to see how much more crazy she would go, but said nothing.
