As Xie Limo listened to Su Lenghan, his eyes leaked an aura that was as mysterious as the moonlight while a corner of his mouth turned up in a deceiving smile . His slender fingers held the teacup as he sipped elegantly, preventing anyone from reading his emotions .
Seeing how Xie Limo was acting, Su Lenghan tightened his grip on his teacup . "Young Master Xie, you may not be interested in what I'm saying, but I want to say that Yun Bixue is pure and innocent . She's so pure and silly that even if she were looking forward to the diamond ring, she would never mention it . Still, I hope that you will value her . "
Xie Limo gazed lightly at Su Lenghan and placed his teacup on the table . Emphasizing every word, he said seriously, "She is my wife . I will protect her . Su Lenghan, the person who you should be concerned about should be your wife . Not mine . On what grounds are you saying all these to me? As her ex-boyfriend? It might have seemed like you were her boyfriend, but you've never admitted it to the public, am I right?"
A twinge shot through Su Lenghan's heart . No one else could fathom how much regret and sorrow he felt . He had no right to say anything, but he wanted to do something for her, even if it's just small .
Su Lenghan's face paled as he lowered his head and immersed himself in his memories . He spoke slowly, "She was very silly, mature, and understanding . Because of these qualities, she was always considerate towards me despite never giving her what she needed . It always felt like she was someone you could do with or without because I was so used to having her by my side . That's why I neglected her and took her for granted . It felt as if she would be there whenever I turn around… I only understood after she was gone that some people and things don't stay the same . She never asked me for any treats or favors . I knew that she likes dolls, but I was unwilling to buy one for her . When I wanted to cherish her and buy it for her, it was too late . She no longer needed it . "
Pausing for a moment, Su Lenghan tried hard to suppress the stinging emotions before continuing, "I have never celebrated her birthday or bought her any gifts . When she saw other people's gifts, she was both envious and hopeful, but I was too stupid to care . I didn't do anything for her… She suffered since she was young and wished for a home . At first, I don't think she liked me a lot, but because of the marriage arrangement that our families made in secret, she placed her hopes on me, wis.h.i.+ng for a home . When she moved out of the Yun family, she wouldn't cry even when she was sad . When she turned around, she was smiling…"
Xie Limo listened as Su Lenghan rambled on . His expression remained calm, but his heart experienced waves of pangs . Even though he was aware of Yun Bixue's past, hearing it from Su Lenghan's perspective was a completely different feeling .
If it weren't for his restraint, he would've already rushed to Yun Bixue's side and embraced her, protecting her from all things that would make her sad .
After speaking, Su Lenghan took a deep breath before gulping down the tea as though it was wine, wanting to get drunk for once .
Su Lenghan laughed self-deprecatingly . "I wanted to say these even though you didn't want to hear them . No one knows about the things hidden in my heart, but I do know that I owe Yun Bixue, and I know that I will never be able to make it up to her . Even if you look down on me, I still want to say it . I just hope you will treat her well, if you don't—"
"There are no ifs!" Xie Limo interrupted Su Lenghan before he could finish his sentence .
