632 The Secret About the Past 250 (2/2)
”Could you tell me what made you say such words to me?”
”I consulted a psychiatrist and he mentioned that aphrodisiacs would indeed result in hallucinations. But that's not the main reason. The main reason is that I've genuinely cooled down and thought about everything.”
”Hah… really?”
She once thought that she would be wrongfully branded as a cheater for the rest of her life. Yet, she did not expect the misunderstanding to be cleared so soon.
”I'm not sure if I should thank the psychiatrist or thank you for finally having figured everything out. But no matter what, it's good that the misunderstanding between us has been cleared, lest you keep thinking that I've done you wrong and get infuriated at the thought of me. If there's nothing else you'd like to say, I'll get going now.”
Just as she stood up, he grabbed her wrist forcefully and pinned her down onto the couch before she could even react.
”Jin Qingyan, we're already divorced,” said An Xiaoning, her breath quickening.
”I know.” His scent was lingering around her nose.
”What are you waiting for, then? Let go of me,” she hissed, glaring at him.
Staring at her intensely, he said, ”You initiated a divorce once and so did I. That makes us even now.”
What twisted and absurd logic was that?
Must the scores be even when it comes to divorce?
”I'm going to get angry if you still refuse to let go of me,” An Xiaoning retorted coldly.
”Get angry… do you think you'll be able to exit Wei Ni Estate without my permission?”
He quickly and accurately kissed her on her lips while grabbing her wiggling neck tightly. He did not let go even after she bit his lips tightly in defense, causing him to bleed profusely.
An Xiaoning decided to stop resisting since she could not struggle to break free.
Sensing that she had stopped struggling, Jin Qingyan grabbed a piece of tissue paper from the table to wipe his mouth before proceeding to wipe hers slowly and gently.
A deafening silence filled the air.
An Xiaoning then said, ”I've decided to get into a relationship with the man I went on a blind date with today.”
”When did you make that decision?”
”Just now. Jin Qingyan, I'm already thirty years old. I can't afford to waste any more time with you. Neither do I harbor any more designs on you. At least we can both be at ease now that the misunderstanding has been cleared. You ought to look for a new partner, and so do I. From now onwards, we'll go our separate ways and not get in the way of each other's lives,” she said, looking up at him.
”I admit, I was too hot-headed and let my anger get the better of me. I was too irrational to jump to conclusions and think that you had been unfaithful toward me. Hence, I've been thinking about how to talk to you about this for the past week…” he explained, flushing unusually red while his voice turned even hoarser.
An Xiaoning stared at him, finding it extremely ironic.
”Are you finished yet?”
”No.”
”Please continue until you've said everything on your mind.”
”I don't wish to continue.” He leaned closer toward her and caressed her face lightly with his long, slender fingers. ”I just want you.”
An Xiaoning froze in shock as tension began to fill up within her. ”Jin Qingyan, I'll repeat myself: we're already divorced.”
”So what if we're divorced? If I say you're my woman, you are my woman,” he said, looking down at her, leaving barely an inch between them. They were so close to each other physically that An Xiaoning felt as if she was about to lose her mind.
”You've always been so tyrannical. You insist on getting your hands on me when you want me, then cast me aside when you don't. Just what do you take me for?”
”Tell me, what am I supposed to do before you'll forgive me?”
Teary-eyed, An Xiaoning answered, ”I'll never forgive you, ever.”
He let out a long sigh, as if he had already expected the outcome.
He sprung up from the couch and walked toward the bathroom while saying, ”I'll give you two minutes to leave this place. Otherwise, you shall bear the consequences.”
