What Han Yixian didn't mention was that his people had also discovered that Du Yuhan was surrounded by many talented young men, no less capable than him. Moreover, most of them were younger than him, a disadvantage he couldn't overcome.
That's why he couldn't wait even a second longer; he needed to confirm Du Yuhan's feelings. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
Du Yuhan snorted and said, "I didn't lie to you. We had no relationship when you told me yourself that you were getting engaged to someone else. There's no need for me to tell you whether I'm dead or alive. Besides, you yourselves think I'm dead. I just barely escaped death and survived by luck."
Now that you know I'm alive and well, you can rest assured. You don't need to worry about my adoptive parents anymore; I've got them covered. And please don't come back again.”
Han Yixian was extremely anxious after hearing Du Yuhan's words. He stepped forward, grasped Du Yuhan's shoulders, and said sincerely, "Yuhan, there was no engagement, it was all fake. I know that my family and I have hurt you a lot, please forgive me, okay? Give me a chance. I will love you well for the rest of my life. You'll see my actions later."
With red eyes, Du Yuhan said, "When you left Luancheng, you told me to wait for you, saying you would come to pick me up soon, but then you turned around and got engaged to another woman. Did you ever think about how I felt?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yixian, his eyes red, hurriedly explained, "Yuhan, let me explain. That engagement was just a temporary measure to appease the authorities. It was fake; it was something we had to do to help my father and the others complete their mission. And in the end, it never even came to the point of engagement, so there was no engagement at all."
Han Yixian was extremely resentful towards those who came up with the idea. He knew that because of what happened before, Du Yuhan would find it hard to trust him anymore, and he felt anxious and regretful.
Du Yuhan broke free from Han Yixian's hands and said, "So what? You never informed me, you kept me in the dark the whole time. And do you know how heartbroken I was when you said those things to me?"
You're now explaining that incident as being forced by circumstances. Does that mean I should forgive you without holding a grudge? And if your father needs your cooperation again, are you just going to get involved with other women again? I cannot accept that.
Han Yixian hurriedly promised, "That will never happen again. I will never let any other woman get close to me, no matter what the reason."
"Besides, when you asked me that at the scene, that was the only thing I could say, because Su Yan was in the crowd, and those two thugs were her orders. I was afraid that if I told the truth, they would hurt you."
With red eyes, Du Yuhan looked at Han Yixian and said, "Brother Han, when I escaped death at the explosion site, I told myself that I had to sever all ties with you and have nothing to do with you anymore. I want to let everything related to you go with the wind, and I don't want to think about it anymore."
I no longer wanted to be insulted, verbally abused, and trampled underfoot by your family. I no longer wanted to face you and your family. I just wanted to live a peaceful and happy life with my parents and family. That's when I completely gave up on you.
So much time has passed, I've let it go. I hope you can let it go too.
Han Yixian was filled with immense pain and remorse upon hearing Du Yuhan's words. He knew that Du Yuhan must have been terrified and helpless in that situation. His words had broken her heart, causing her to become disheartened and decide to leave him.
But how could he accept this outcome? They were supposed to be a happy couple; he had promised to make her happy, and they were supposed to live a joyful life together.
He was unwilling to give up. The thought of living a life without Du Yuhan was excruciating.
Han Yixian's eyes were red and brimming with tears. He hugged Du Yuhan tightly and pleaded, "Yuhan, please don't abandon me. I thought you were dead. I was heartbroken and devastated. I believed my mother had indirectly caused your death, so I severed ties with my family and applied for a transfer away from Kyoto."
I swore to myself that I would never get married in my life, and that you are my only wife.
Without you, I live like a walking corpse. If you don't want me anymore, I'll never marry, I'll just stay next door to you, watching you live your life with your partner.
Du Yuhan felt a pang of sympathy and a touch of emotion as she listened to Han Yixian's words about how she had severed ties with her family, but then she became angry upon hearing his next words.
She pushed Han Yixian away and said, "How could you do this? Wouldn't it be better if we just went our separate ways?"
Han Yixian hugged Du Yuhan tightly and pleaded, "Yuhan, please give me another chance. I will never let any other woman get close to me again, and I will never let you get hurt again. I will cherish you, pamper you, and love you for the rest of my life."
Du Yuhan struggled and said, "You're not calling this hurting me? I told you I don't want anything to do with you anymore, why are you forcing me?"
With red eyes, Han Yixian said, "I'll do anything you want except this. I know you resent me and can't forgive me right now, but I'll prove you wrong."
Du Yuhan, feeling helpless and somewhat exasperated, deliberately said harshly, "Han Yixian, it's my freedom to like whoever I want. I don't like you anymore, so why are you forcing me? Besides, I already have someone I like, and we're getting married soon. I hope you won't cause me any trouble. Please let me go for the sake of how I healed your leg."
Du Yuhan fabricated these words to make Han Yixian give up.
When Han Yixian heard that Du Yuhan had fallen in love with someone else, he was heartbroken and a violent impulse rose within him. He wished he could kill the man who had stolen Du Yuhan's heart.
He looked down at his healthy legs and said sadly, "If these legs hadn't healed, maybe you would still be by my side. What use are these legs to me without you?"
As he spoke, Han Yixian began to vigorously pound his legs. When he saw that it had no effect, he looked up and saw a wooden stick in the room. He went over, picked up the stick, and was about to hit his legs with it.
When Du Yuhan saw that Han Yixian was acting like a madman and trying to hurt himself, even trying to hit his own legs with a wooden stick, she quickly ran over, grabbed the stick, and threw herself into Han Yixian's arms, hugging him from the front to stop him from hitting his own legs.
She could tell that Han Yixian really didn't want these legs anymore.
Du Yuhan angrily slammed her head against Han Yixian's chest and cursed, "I worked so hard to heal your legs. I put in so much effort and suffered so much for them. How dare you harm them? You bastard, you just know I can't stand seeing you suffer, so you forced me to give in, didn't you?"
As she spoke, Du Yuhan burst into tears, crying and cursing, "Han Yixian, you big bastard! All you do is bully me!"
When Han Yixian saw Du Yuhan like this, he knew that Du Yuhan still cared about him and was overjoyed that she couldn't bear to see him suffer.
Seeing Du Yuhan crying so sadly, he quickly threw down the wooden stick he was holding and hugged her tightly, saying with heartache, "I knew you couldn't bear to see me suffer. I knew you still cared about me. Okay, Yuhan, let's not cry anymore. Crying too much is bad for your health. Don't cry."
