Chapter 171 It Can Be Seen That You Don’t Really Love Me
Shu Wan had never told anyone about this matter. She kept telling herself not to think about it, not to think about the past, and to pretend that it had never happened. But when she thought about it now, Shu Wan still had the illusion that those things happened yesterday.
"I accidentally heard him on the phone. He told the person on the other end that he had picked up a little girl. After observing her for a few days, he found that the little girl was an orphan without a father or a mother!"
Rong Chen didn't know what the phone Shu Wan was talking about was, and he didn't want to find out. He just listened carefully as Shu Wan told him about her past.
"He said, it's perfect, I'll raise her for a few more years, and when she grows up, I'll let her give birth to a son for me, so that my family will have an heir. I went up the mountain and found a wife for free, what a great thing!"
When Shu Wan said this, she smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled. At the same time, the tears that had been gathering in her eyes for a long time fell down at this moment and hit the back of Rong Chen's hand. It was so hot that Rong Chen felt the pain in his heart.
"Rong Chen, do you know? That man was already in his thirties when he picked me up. During the few days I lived in his house, I called him uncle!"
"It's horrible. I didn't expect that he would have such thoughts. I wanted to run away, but I had no money and I didn't know the way out. The only way out was the country mountain road, which was winding and tortuous and could not get out!"
A trace of despair appeared on Shu Wan's face, just like many years ago.
"In order to get out, I took the initiative to show my friendship to him, calling him uncle all the time, rushing to help him with work, and following him up the mountain!"
"He saw how obedient I was, or maybe he thought I was only six or seven years old, so he wasn't too wary of me."
"I only had the clothes I was wearing, so he was kind enough to take me to town to buy clothes!"
"I took that opportunity and ran straight to the police station. I lied and said I was abducted and had barely escaped. I begged them to save me!"
"The police... it's like the government office in your area. They saved me and they want to send me home."
"I told them that I didn't know where my home was, but actually, I just didn't want to tell them that my adoptive parents had abandoned me. So what if I went back?"
"They had no choice but to temporarily send me to an orphanage in the city center."
"They also helped me post a lot of missing person notices and made countless copies of my photo and posted them all over the streets, hoping that my parents could find me."
"You know what I did? During the day, I watched them post notices. At night, I went out and tore down all the notices by myself."
"Because I know it's useless even if I put it on."
"I am not the only one who has difficulties in the world. They have a myriad of things to deal with every day, so gradually, they are a little exhausted and slowly let these things go."
"Then I worked as the director of that orphanage until I was 18, then went to college, did an internship, worked, and then, I ended up here for no apparent reason. I still don't know what happened!"
Having said that, it has come to an end. Shu Wan looked at Rong Chen calmly. Unlike her face full of grief just now, she now looked like an outsider, as if what she said were all other people's stories.
Rong Chen has always known that Shu Wan had something hidden in her heart, something very important that she was reluctant to mention.
Today he finally understood that this was the case.
No wonder, no wonder she was obviously the most arrogant Miss Shu in the Shu family, but he could always see through her appearance that there was a sense of loneliness around her.
He thought, that wasn't the emotion that the flamboyant eldest daughter of the Shu family should have. So, that's how it was.
"Wanwan!" Rong Chen's throat was a little hoarse, and he stretched out his hand to hug Shu Wan.
Seeing this, Shu Wan stepped back.
"Rong Chen." She quickly waved her hand, signaling him not to come over. "Don't be like this. Listen to me first." He swallowed unconsciously to relieve his nervousness.
"You said you liked me and loved me, and I believed it!" She said seriously, "But Rongchen, I said before that people change, everyone changes, just like my adoptive parents. At the beginning, they also said they loved me very much, but you know how it ended."
"So, I will not allow myself to go through something like this again."
"You won't change today, you can't guarantee that you won't change tomorrow, you can't guarantee that you won't change the day after tomorrow, you can't guarantee that you will love me as much as you do today every day in the future, and you can't guarantee that you will love me as much as you do today for decades."
"So, Rong Chen, don't mess with me!"
"Otherwise, I will hate you."
"Wanwan, if possible, I really want to dig out my heart and show you if it is filled with you!" Rong Chen's face was full of indescribable heartache. It turned out that the girl whom he regarded as a treasure and more important than his own life had experienced such a tragic experience.
He suddenly hated himself for meeting her too late. If he were in the same world as her and they had known each other when they were very young, how great it would have been. Then how could he have let his girl suffer so much.
"I know that no matter what I say now, it will seem too pale to you, but Wanwan, can you please try to believe me a little bit, even just a little bit? Or, even if you don't want to believe me, you don't have to rush to reject me, okay? Let me stay with you, I will use my actions to prove to you that you, to me, are the existence that surpasses everything in this world. One day, I will let you open your heart and truly accept me!"
"I finally know that you are so afraid of thunder and rain, not because you are timid, but because you have such a past hidden in your heart. I also finally know why you were so abnormal after receiving the letter from your parents that day. It turns out that you thought that after they had another child, they would abandon you like the adoptive parents you mentioned!"
"Wanwan, all the sufferings are over. Now, I am here. I promise you that from now on, I will be by your side on every night of thunder and rain. If I am absent once, you can cut me into pieces and I will have no complaints. Besides, how could your parents not want you? You see, when they heard the news about you, they insisted on coming to pick you up despite the dangers and even though they were pregnant. If they had other children and didn't want you, why would they do this, right!"
“…”
"Rong Chen, you still don't understand what I mean!" Shu Wan had a headache.
"I understand, I understand everything!" Rong Chen quickly spoke up, saying that he knew everything. "What I mean is that you can give me, and yourself, a chance to move on from that bad memory."
"Wanwan, I know you don't believe me now and think that I will definitely fall in love with another woman in the future. So tell me, what do you want me to do so that you can feel at ease?"
"How about this? As the city lord, I will make you a promise in black and white. Let the world know that if I change my mind one day, you have the right to kill me with your own hands!"
"Although I know that this day will never come, even if I let down the whole world, I will never let down my Wanwan!"
Shu Wan wanted to open his mouth.
"Wanwan, don't say anything yet. I just want to ask you a question!" Seeing this, Rong Chen quickly stopped her from speaking.
"You ask!" Shu Wan had a faint expression on his face.
"Do you love me?" Rong Chen asked very seriously.
"I..." Shu Wan opened his mouth.
"Wanwan, you don't have to rush to answer me. Just think about the answer in your mind!"
“…”
Shu Wan lowered his head and said nothing.
Love?
Of course she loved him. If she didn't love Rong Chen so much, why would she be so worried?
If she didn't love him, why would she be afraid that Rong Chen would leave her and not want her one day!
Isn’t all this because I love you too much?
"Wanwan, I already know your answer from your eyes!" Her thoughts were all written on her face, how could Rong Chen not see it.
“…”
"Wanwan, since I love you and you love me, why do you have to let yourself regret it in the future? Can we just be like before, Wanwan?"
“…”
"I want to go see Shengnan!" Shu Wan didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"It's time to sleep now!" Rong Chen did not lie to her. At this time, Shengnan had indeed fallen asleep.
"Then I'll go see my mother!" Shu Wan got out of bed without saying anything.
"Wanwan, don't go!" Rong Chen quickly grabbed her.
"What?" Shu Wan frowned impatiently.
"During the days you were in a coma, your mother stayed by your side without taking off her clothes. Now that you finally woke up, she must have had a good sleep after relaxing." Rong Chen patiently explained to her, "If you go over now, she will definitely think that something happened to you. How can you still sleep?"
Shu Wan gave Rong Chen a reluctant look and lay back down unwillingly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Rong Chen's analysis did make sense.
Seeing her so angry, Rong Chen couldn't stop smiling.
"Rong Chen."
"Um!"
"You don't love me at all!" Shu Wan said expressionlessly.
"Unfair!" Rong Chen was anxious. He loved her so much that he valued her more than his own life. He loved her, really loved her. How could this girl be so heartless to say that he didn't love her? Isn't this nonsense?
"You said you loved me, so why did you just turn around and leave after hearing what I said!" Shu Wan became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. "You didn't even bother to check the truth. What if someone was pretending to be me and said it on purpose for you? It's obvious that you don't really love me!"
