Nan Xun's words woke Xue Lier up like a thunderclap.
It turns out that Nanxun has invested so much in their relationship. He has been working hard to make his father like Nanyu.
But what about me? What have I done?
Nan Xun was right. Xue Li'er's father, Xue Yi, did not trust Nan Yu or Nan Xun.
But how could Xue Li'er ever believe Nanxun when she kept saying that she loved him?
If she really believed in Nanxun, she would not have listened to Xue Yi and gone on blind dates with those young men.
If she really believed Nan Xun's words, she would not blame Nan Xun's parents in her heart for not making Nanyu one of the largest companies in the capital when Xue Yi forced her to do so.
Ultimately, it was my own fault. My lack of resolve led to this outcome.
"For the past ten years, I've been thinking about you constantly," Nan Xun continued. "In the first few years, I hated you so much that my teeth were itching. I wanted to drop everything and search the world for you. Once I found you, I'd give you a good beating."
"But I know I can't. Nanyu needs me, and my grandma needs me too. So I can only hide this hatred in my heart."
"In the years that followed, I gradually became numb. The only time I would get drunk was on your birthday, otherwise I was afraid that I would want to look for you again."
"When I first met Zhu Zhu, it was on your birthday." Speaking of Zhu Zhu, Nan Xun's cold eyes began to warm up. "I was very drunk that night and she took a photo of me. Later, the matter became a big deal, and my grandmother insisted that I marry her. Thinking of Zhu Zhu's face that was somewhat similar to yours, I agreed."
Nan Xun's words made Xue Li'er's tears flow uncontrollably again.
When talking about Zhu Zhu, Nan Xun's eyes were full of tenderness. Xue Lier knew that she had lost, and lost completely.
"When I first married Zhu Zhu, I only used her as a shield. I just threw her home after marrying her and never took her seriously."
"But I don't know why, Zhu Zhu's appearance always lingers in my mind." Nan Xun raised his lips slightly, "At that time, I was very confused. Was I in love with Zhu Zhu, or did I mistake her for you?"
"I try hard to control my feelings for Zhu Zhu. I'm afraid that I might unknowingly treat her as a substitute for you, which would be unfair to Zhu Zhu."
Across from Nan Xun, Xue Li'er cried even harder. Nan Xun had unreservedly offered another woman to her, his face still brimming with happiness. Xue Li'er couldn't bear the sight. It was as if a huge hole had been ripped out of her heart, and no amount of effort could fill it up.
"But the more I stay away from Zhu Zhu, the more I care about her. Every day I want to know what she is doing and who she is with?" Nan Xun murmured. "It wasn't until Zhu Zhu dealt with the An father and son for me that I realized clearly. I like her not because she looks like you, but because I like her for who she is."
Nan Xun's words seemed to cut off Xue Li'er's last rope of hope, and Xue Li'er's heart sank to the bottom.
"Especially after you came back, I became even more certain that the person I loved was Zhu Zhu herself." Nan Xun slowly raised his head. "If it weren't for Zhu Zhu, I might still be stuck in my hatred for you. So I'm very grateful to Zhu Zhu for helping me get out of the pain I once suffered."
