When I asked this question, my heart beat faster, but I still looked forward to his answer.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't hesitate at all, he shook his head firmly.
"I don't regret marrying you. But—" He paused and sighed, "I regret that I couldn't protect you."
I suddenly felt relieved. It was enough that he never regretted it. My marriage with him for the past two years was not a waste.
"What about you?" Lu Zhiyuan asked me, "Do you regret marrying me?"
Although he asked the question, there was still a hint of caution in his eyes.
My resentment and indifference towards Lu Zhiyuan during this period have made him lose confidence.
I forced a relaxed smile, shook my head, and told him seriously, "I don't regret marrying you. I only regret that I was too sensitive and suspicious back then, and didn't give you a little more trust and patience."
My words made Lu Zhiyuan's expression tremble, and his eyes turned red, like a child who had been wronged.
What I say now is all from the bottom of my heart.
"I've always taken your care and love for granted, but instead I've become a weakling who can't withstand the storm. That's why I was so panicked and at a loss when Yuan Yaxin first threatened me. I clearly felt your tenderness and doting on me, but after a few provocations from Yuan Yaxin, I wavered in my doubts and even didn't believe you."
If I could do it again, I might be more resolute instead of constantly doubting myself.
Lu Zhiyuan was touched by my words. He reached out and held my hand, his burning gaze fixed on me. "Xiao Shan, as long as you are still willing to be with me, I swear that I will never make you feel insecure again. I will never hide anything from you again. The only thing I have to do from now on is to protect you and make sure you never get hurt again."
He's sincere and I can feel it.
I remained silent, looking at the pleading and expectation in his eyes, but pulled my hand back cruelly.
I smiled calmly and lowered my eyes: "Lu Zhiyuan, I'm telling you all this suddenly, telling you that I don't regret it, but it doesn't mean that I want to be with you again."
I didn't dare look up, for I was afraid to see the loneliness in his eyes.
I tried to keep my tone light: "I feel that my life is very happy now, and I don't want to change or disrupt the peace I have now."
I think I have made myself very clear.
Lu Zhiyuan slowly withdrew his hand from the side of my bed, his voice hard to hide his lowness: "I understand."
I then raised my head and forced a smile at him, as if nothing had happened just now.
I advised him, "You should go back. I am also tired and want to rest."
Lu Zhiyuan didn't insist. He stood up and said to me softly, "I'm at the door. Call me if you need anything."
Seeing him clear the table and walk out dejectedly, I felt inexplicably sad.
I shook off the messy emotions and forced myself to rest.
I lay on the bed and closed my eyes. The sudden darkness in front of my eyes made me recall everything I experienced in the warehouse.
The fear arose in my heart, and I subconsciously curled up into a ball and suddenly opened my eyes.
I was breathing heavily and my heart was pounding.
Sister S's gang is so cruel. Although I don't know why that "gentleman" suddenly decided to let them let me go, such vicious people definitely have no good intentions.
Now that they have found me, they will inevitably follow me to investigate the people around me, and maybe they will find Lu Zhiyuan.
