CHAPTER 934: CHAPTER 934: THIS IS MY RETRIBUTION

But his words, to Lin Xinlan.

Seemed so justified and taken for granted.

She turned cold, pushed him away forcefully, and said word by word, "You can marry someone else, why can’t I have a change of heart!"

The man’s eyes instantly gathered a storm.

He suddenly grabbed her chin and said coldly, "Take back what you just said!"

Lin Xinlan winced in pain, her stubbornness flared up.

"I won’t take it back! Why can you marry someone else, and I have to stay unchanged towards you! Rong Shaoze, this is unfair to me, unfair!"

"I did it to protect you and the children!" Rong Shaoze shouted in grievance.

Lin Xinlan’s eyes reddened, "Then why did you hide it from me, not let me know! Did you think that once this year was over, you could return to me as if nothing happened? Then continue to be with me under the title of a married man, making me inexplicably the third party in your marriage, right?!"

Rong Shaoze was at a loss for words.

He did indeed think that way...

"Xinlan, you’re not the third party. Xuanyuan Wushuang and I are just making a deal, she’s just a friend, nothing else."

"Back when you married me, it was just a transaction too, our relationship at that time wasn’t anything either."

"Xinlan, what are you afraid of?" Rong Shaoze suddenly asked.

Lin Xinlan bit her lip tightly, her eyes showing deep pain.

She was afraid, afraid of many things.

The future held too many unknown variables; she couldn’t afford to lose, nor dare to gamble.

If he truly doesn’t love her anymore, she thought, she’d surely die.

Being alive would be like a walking corpse...

"Rong Shaoze, I think this is my retribution," she said abruptly, leaving the man puzzled.

"When you and I entered a contract marriage, you told Du Ruoxin’s parents too that marrying me meant nothing. When Du Ruoxin woke up, you’d divorce me and marry her. And yet..."

Rong Shaoze listened to her reminisce about the past.

He had no impression of Du Ruoxin whatsoever.

"This is different. At that time, I didn’t love Du Ruoxin, nor did I expect to fall in love with you. Now, the person I love is you, and I won’t fall for Xuanyuan Wushuang."

"Yes, that’s what you’re saying now, but maybe in a while, you’ll say you didn’t expect to fall for Xuanyuan Wushuang..."

"Xinlan!" Rong Shaoze interrupted her firmly, caressing her face, "I won’t fall for her; my love is only for you, I gave it to you before, and I’m giving it to you now. My love will never change."

"I know I was an asshole before, I handled things with Du Ruoxin very poorly and didn’t keep my promises, leaving you with a bad impression. But you have to believe, you’re not Du Ruoxin, and I won’t treat you like her."

"Though I’m not a good person, when I fall in love, I certainly won’t change. You should have understood this well before."

Lin Xinlan was stunned.

Yes, Rong Shaoze’s character wasn’t good.

But his feelings for her were always true.

Ever since he fell for her, no matter how many difficulties he faced, his heart never wavered.

Even when she grew old and gray-haired, ugly beyond measure, he never despised her.

In this world, she could doubt everything.
