Chapter 246 - No matter what, he loves her. (1/2)

”You annoying jerk” Changyu muttered to Jianjun who stared back at her in disbelief.

”You....are referring to me right now?” He asked with a finger pointing at his self.

”I need to be sure of something. Are you sure you are not possessed by an evil spirit?”

”I am possessed? I want to ask you one question. Just one question....” She looked at him carefully, hoping that he would agree to hear her out instead of his usual style of walking away.

When she noticed he was not planning to walk out, she went on to ask..

”Aren't you curious?”

”About what?” He asked her back after a few seconds of silence.

”Our child...” Changyu paused. It was the first time she was raising the issue about their child with him and it felt slightly awkward.

But she wanted to at least know. He had told her he wasn't interested in her and their child. But at least, he should be curious right? He should at least ask her how she's been and what happened to their child. Did this really mean that he truly had never loved her?

Jianjun almost laughed when he heard her question. She had been the one who promised to get rid of their child and she had done just that. So why was she asking him? Was he supposed to thank her for abandoning their child on that cold night?

”I'm not curious. You promised to get rid of it and I believe you did just that. So why should I be?” He asked expressionlessly.

Changyu's eyes gradually began to water when she heard him. Unexpectedly, Jianjun felt her hand hit his face.

”You are the worse kind of person. How can you say that to me? Was I a joke to you all along? Because I threw myself at you, was it fun for you to use and dump me?”

She accused with teary eyes and began to hit her fist on his chest repeatedly.

Jianjun stood there without budging an inch.

He watched her with furrow brows as she cried and hit him and he could not help but begin to wonder whether she had a mental problem.

He was supposed to say those words to her so why was she using it instead? He was supposed to ask her why she dumped him, why she said she regretted meeting him. So why was she accusing him right now?

”Stop it already. You're becoming annoying” He said in displeasure.

”You owe me an apology you bastard!”

”For what exactly?” He asked back in confusion. ”I used and dumped you? You were the one who abandoned me first! It was you who did.”

”I did? I did?” Changyu looked around for something to probably throw at him or destroy. But then, she remembered that this wasn't her home.

They both quietly stared at each other for a while and the only sound they could both hear was their ragged breath.

”I have to go open the store now” He said. He wasn't in the mood to banter with her about an issue that happened between them over two decades ago. It was best to leave instead.

Changyu sighed deeply. ”I'll leave also.” She took her bag from the table and pushed past him but was startled when he suddenly pulled her back by her hand.

She stopped walking to look at him. ”What? Didn't you say you were going to open the —”

Before she could finish, he pulled her into a hug and firmly wrapped his hands around her waist.

Changyu's eyes widened in surprise. She tried to say something but nothing came out except an hiccup.

”I didn't use and dump you. But....you really did hurt me.” He explained sadly. ”The others are waiting for me...so I really have to go now. But...I'd really like for us to talk tonight. There are a lot of questions I need to ask. You can ask yours also.”

He was finally open to discuss what had happened between them.
