Chapter 559 - The Unwanted Past (2/2)

This kind of thing could only be done cruelly. He must have, at that time, hated her with all his might and was cold-blooded to the bone.

”Actually, it is not what you think it is,” explained Du Jingtang hurriedly as he could tell that Xia Ruoxin's heart was not as big as others. If he did not explain this, she would forever be conflicted.

”I met that guy before and even told him not to make a move on you, just make it seem like he did. I'm really sorry I did not stop him back then,” said Du Jingtang awkwardly.

Xia Ruoxin sighed, the color returned to her face.

”I know that you can't do it anyway. If it's not this time, there will be a next; but I still should thank you. If it was not for you, I would have lost something else more than my reputation.”

”No, no, it's not like that. It's not what you think,” exclaimed Du Jingtang as he waved his hands hurriedly. ”Actually, it's not like that. I only found out much later that Cousin did not—he really did not ask. Even without my intervention, he had also warned the guy that he could not make any move on you. Actually, he is not as cruel as you think he is.

”Also…” said Du Jingtang exasperatingly with a dry mouth, but some things must be said.

”Cousin did not intentionally force you to go on the road of no return. He wanted you to come back and be saved by him. If you did so, he would not have forced you on this hell road.

”Since young, he would definitely get whatever he wanted so his personality could be unreasonable to no end. Perhaps he did not know how to love back then, but subconsciously, he already knew that he loved you since a long time ago.”

”You don't need to say anymore.” Xia Ruoxin interrupted, ”It's already in the past, and I have forgotten everything.” She did not want to hear it anymore.

She turned around. Whatever that happened in the past, no matter the reason, had already occurred; and no one could change it. Whatever pain and suffering she went through in the past was already over.

”No, you really need to hear me out,” exclaimed Du Jingtang as he hurriedly stood in front of her, almost bumping into her shoulder. ”Do you know why Cousin is so nice to Li Manni? Perhaps he himself does not know sometimes, but he is finding something through her.

”Didn't you notice? Actually, the vibe that Li Manni gives out… sometimes, it resembles a person.”

'I know,” laughed Xia Ruoxin, but her smile was filled with sarcasm. ”She's like Xia Yixuan.”

”No,” boomed Du Jingtang in a serious voice. ”She resembles you, not Xia Yixuan.”

Xia Ruoxin was slightly taken aback. It was unnecessary to talk about this now since she and that man would never be possible ever again. So there was not a need to be conflicted over who was whose substitute. There was no point.

”He did not let you take anything when you left the Chu Family because he kept everything you left behind in perfect condition and hidden here,” said Du Jingtang as he placed his hand on his chest. ”If you have a chance to look at his shirt pocket, you will realize that it contains something that he has with him all the time for the past four years without fail.

”If you said he loves Li Manni, then why would she let herself be used by someone else and drug him? Because after you left, Cousin's temper was affected severely; and he would be easily irritable and would throw a huge tantrum. Whenever it happens, Li Manni would give him that kind of medicine. If he really loved her, Li Manni would believe it. Woman's intuition is very accurate. She knows herself very clearly that Cousin does not love her.”
