Chapter 253 - Congratulations, You’re Free (2/2)

The car arrived at the entrance of the district. Yi Fan was already waiting there.

Mu Sihan parked the car, though he did not unlock the doors. Nan Zhi could not push the door open.

Yi Fan pa.s.sed Mu Sihan the item that he wanted through the window that was wound down.

Immediately after, the window was wound up again.

Nan Zhi’s long eyelashes trembled. Her voice was hoa.r.s.e and tight. “What else do you want to do?”

Mu Sihan opened the medicine bottle and swallowed several pulls. He opened his mouth after his emotions had stabilized. His voice was hoa.r.s.e as he said in a detached manner, “I developed bipolar disorder after my adoptive father’s accident. Since then, my condition would act up whenever someone mentioned that accident if I didn’t take my medication. I have a psychological illness that is much more serious than you think…”

Nan Zhi buried her pet.i.te face into her arms. She did not look at him, but she could feel his deep and dark gaze looking at her.

She bit her lips tightly. She did not think that he would take the initiative and mention his illness.

Many sick people were not willing to be frank about their condition to others, especially people who were as arrogant as him. It left him raw and exposed, opening himself up for her to condemn him for life.

“You asked if I wanted to take revenge on you for what happened that year…” Pursing his lips into a thin line, his eyes darkened, sharp and piercing. “That car accident was just an accident. Although I hated your uncle for drink-driving, and your maternal grandfather for suppressing the Mu family back then, many years have pa.s.sed. I don’t want to use those feelings to take revenge on you.”

Nan Zhi lifted her head slowly and looked at him. His facial features were blurry amongst the smoke and it was hard to see his expression. However, she could faintly feel the loneliness he felt.

He lifted his head to look at her after a few seconds.

Both pairs of eyes met.

He pursed his thin lips tightly again as only coldness remained in his dark orbs. “However, I never thought about falling in love with you. It was unexpected and not part of any plan. I forced you to stay by my side for one year, only because I felt like you suited my taste.”

He took out the contract that Yi Fan had brought over in front of her. It seemed like he had used all of his energy to say the words that followed.

“Nan Zhi, I won’t force you anymore in the future. Congratulations. You’ve won. You’re free.”

It might have been fated from the start that the two of them should not have met with their completely different paths in life.

Although they were not in love, this contract had brought their fates together.

Without the contract, she was now free and he no longer had the excuse to forcefully have her and bind their lives together.

Yes, she had won. She finally regained her freedom.
