Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: He’s Not You, But I’m Still Me Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: He’s Not You, But I’m Still Me “…”

“No matter what you’re thinking, I’ll accept it, just don’t stay silent, leaving me to guess what’s on your mind all day.”

“…”

“I’m not you, I can’t know what you’re thinking. Can you tell me, please?”

Jian Yufei still didn’t answer.

She lowered her eyelashes slightly, concealing the dimness in her eyes.

“Jian Yufei, I’m begging you to tell me, okay?”

Jian Yufei’s fingertips trembled slightly as she lifted her gaze and said, “Actually, I had forgotten all those things.”

“But you brought them up directly, making me face that pain all over again… It’s a bit more than I can take… ”

Ruan Tianling said in a husky voice, “I just wanted to share that pain with you, to say I’m sorry, to seek your forgiveness.”

“I know what you’re thinking, but you can’t really share that painful experience.”

“I can!” Ruan Tianling held her tightly, nodding firmly, “I can share it with you. In fact, when I saw that you were in trouble, I thought I had died too. Yufei, I am in a lot of pain too, watching the woman I love die before my very eyes. Can you imagine that kind of pain?”

Jian Yufei’s eyes reddened as she stared at him and said, “Can you imagine the pain of being killed by the man you love the most?”

Ruan Tianling froze, his heart as if pierced by a sharp sword.

“I’m sorry… I really didn’t know that would happen, I’m sorry…”

“What’s done is done. It’s too late for anything now. Let’s not bring up that incident again in the future, okay? I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

Jian Yufei pushed him away and was about to get up, but Ruan Tianling forcefully held down her shoulders.

She turned her face to meet his expressionless one.

“I’ve said it before, you can punish me however you want. I hope that after you vent, you won’t keep any more emotional barriers against me.”

“…”

“I don’t want anything to affect our relationship. I didn’t know bringing up your pain would upset you so much. I only wanted to let you know some truth, to ease your heart a little.”

Jian Yufei said with a bitter laugh, “The truth you’re talking about, is it that Yan Yue drugged you, and that sleeping with her in front of me wasn’t your intention? Or that kicking me out of the house and pushing me down the stairs wasn’t your intention either?”

Ruan Tianling’s pupils constricted, stunned, not knowing how to rebut.

“Ruan Tianling, what’s done is done, stop making excuses for yourself! I’ve stopped caring, you don’t need to play the good guy in front of me!” Jian Yufei said angrily as she pushed him away and walked swiftly towards the stairs.

Ruan Tianling’s voice rose faintly from behind, “Do you think I’m shirking responsibility?”

Jian Yufei gripped the handrail tightly, without turning back, “Isn’t that what you’re doing? If you’re a man, own up to the mistakes you’ve made instead of making excuses for yourself. Can you say that you’ve done nothing wrong?”

Ruan Tianling opened his mouth, then spoke in a deep voice, “Yufei, that person isn’t me! In this lifetime, those things never happened.”

Even though that Ruan Tianling was still him, in this lifetime, he hadn’t done those things, and he didn’t want them attributed to himself.

Jian Yufei’s heart truly ached.

“Yes, he isn’t you, but I’m still me…”

Ruan Tianling suddenly widened his eyes, “I’m not avoiding responsibility, but that person is another me. You can hate him; I don’t want you to hate me!”

“Even if you aren’t him, you’ve done plenty to hurt me,” Jian Yufei said coldly.
