Chapter 631 - THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1/2)

Shun remained frozen as he realised that he had exposed himself. However, he recovered after thinking about the situation. It was only a matter of time before he was discovered. He never intended to keep the secret for much longer.

Since he had already declared his intentions to return home, he might as well let everyone know that he had his memories.

”Shun, you have recovered your memories?” Wang Che asked with a foolish expression. ”When did you remember?”

Shun lifted his chin. ”After the night Hu Lei visited me.”

Hu Lei smiled in self-satisfaction. It was just as she thought. But she did not say anything because Shun and Wang Che were focused on themselves. Now that everything was out in the open, it was better to let them resolve their issues.

”What? That long?” Wang Che was once again gobsmacked. ”Why didn't you say anything? And why, why did you leave?”

The last question was asked in a soft and vulnerable tone. Wang Che wanted to be angry for Shun hiding everything, but he knew he did not have the right. If he cared, he might have noticed that Shun had his memories back.

He remembered that Shun acted a little strangely after that night. It was on that morning that Shun asked him what he wanted. But he was a coward who refused to speak up and kept their relationship awkward and tense.

After that, Shun focused on the home remodelling, but he refused to engage as usual with Wang Che. He did not act like the normal Shun, even with the memory loss. But he did not try to say anything. He just ignored the issue and hoped that the tension would go away.

And he lost Shun.

Shun straightened his back. ”It is because I remembered everything that I left. I gave you countless chances to prove that you wanted to be with me, but you threw them back in my face. I am not so cheap that you can get me just like that.”

Wang Che took a step forward with an earnest expression. ”You know that I want nothing more than to be with you. I love you, Shun. I have always loved you.”

The shimmering tears on Shun's eyes fell and he wipes them with the sleeve of his sweater. He tried to maintain his cold expression even though he had lost control of his tears. He did not want to appear weak, especially in front of Wang Che.

”You can say those words, but they are just words. You are a superficial person Wang Che. You only know how to do and say things, but your heart is never truly involved. You have never been willing to bet everything and open your heart.” Shun said.

”I am willing to leave everything behind and come with you to Mountain Ridge. We can build a life together. We were happy there.” Wang Che felt desperate as he heard Shun saying the things he feared most about himself.

It was true. He was a superficial person who did things without actually feeling them in his heart. Yes, he loved Shun, but he had never truly shared his heart with him. He always kept his cards close to his chest, refusing to be vulnerable.

Even when he treated Shun well, a part of him knew that it was to make sure that Shun never left him. He wanted Shun to need him so that he could not ever leave him.

”How can you even say that with a straight face?” Shun laughed with a croaking voice. ”Yes, we were happy. But that is because I went along with you and your plans. I left my life here in Supreme City and stayed with you there for a year.”
