Zhang Xingrong remained cold, but revealed a sarcastic smile. "Don't pretend, don't be so sincere. You know exactly what I've been worried about lately, how much I want to find Zhang Xinglian. The funny thing is, she's clearly in your hands, yet you're pretending in front of me. You look at me anxiously and indifferently as I search for her. Why, seeing me go to the black market to look for her, and you hiding behind me watching all this, watching me perform like a clown, you should be very happy, right?"
The man's fingers clenched his palms, digging into the flesh. It was very uncomfortable, but it couldn't overcome the suffocation and discomfort in his heart. His voice was trembling and panicked: "...You know I'm definitely not like this."
"Do I know?" Zhang Xingrong smiled, even more sarcastically. "I don't know. To be honest, I don't understand you at all. Even though I've known you for a long time... a long time, I still don't understand you. I don't know what kind of person you are. I said I understand you just now, but I was wrong. In fact, I don't understand you, not at all."
"Because you pretended so well, I was actually moved by your fake feelings. I actually believed what you said and thought that maybe we could spend our whole lives together. How ridiculous..."
"Rongya..." Lu Ran grew increasingly frightened and panicked as he listened. He felt as if the person before him was getting further and further away. She was soaked, with water dripping down her clothes and pants. Her hair was also damp, and she looked very cold.
But she didn't seem to care, she didn't care at all, as if it wasn't her who was getting wet in the rain, as if it wasn't her who was shivering.
But his heart was in pain, bleeding bit by bit.
"Let me go!" Zhang Xingrong reached out to knock his hand away, full of vigilance, disappointment, and even a little disgust. "Don't touch me!"
Lu Ran felt his heart tighten, and it was hard to breathe. Especially that hint of disgust, it was like a knife cutting through his heart. He took a deep breath, as if to ease the pain in his heart. "I can not touch you, but you have to go in and change clothes. As long as you change clothes and dry your hair, I will tell you everything you want to know."
Zhang Xingrong looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was very insincere.
She coldly brushed his hand away, but he held it tightly and she couldn't get rid of it.
So, she didn't bother to do anything. She just turned her cold gaze from him to the room behind, and looked it over slowly. The smile on her face became even more ironic.
"When we got our marriage certificate and you led me to this room, I thought this was just an illusory dream. Our marriage was just a transaction. I reminded myself not to get too caught up in it. Unfortunately, it's ridiculous that I still got too caught up in it. In fact, this place doesn't belong to me. Everything here doesn't belong to me. It's ridiculous that I actually treated this place as my home..."
She couldn't help but laugh as she spoke, a smile that was particularly exaggerated and sarcastic. A drop of water slid down her forehead, landing in that smile, and then slid down along the trace of the smile. Inexplicably, that smile seemed even more sarcastic. She couldn't tell if she was mocking herself or Lu Ran.
Lu Ran felt like his chest was being pulled and rubbed countless times, and the knife was piercing him repeatedly, causing him to be unable to breathe due to the pain.
