Chapter 349: Rupture 8_1
"Then scold me, scold me as hard as you can. I will absolutely not retort or tell dad! I did something wrong, I deserve to be scolded. As long as you don’t stay mad at me after scolding me, it’s okay."
"Haha~" a cold laugh comes from He Teng’s mouth, "Is there any use in scolding you? If scolding you could make you wake up, wouldn’t you have woken up a long time ago? Why would you wait until now?"
It was impossible for He Teng not to be angry, but seeing the pitiful look in He Zhilan’s eyes, his anger dissipated. He wanted to fiercely scold He Zhilan, but seeing her suffering from the illness, he just couldn’t bring himself to do so.
He Zhilan’s apology, sincere and heartfelt. Her clear eyes were filled with remorse. Every time their eyes would meet, He Teng would almost believe that Zhilan truly regretted her actions and was on the verge of forgiving Zhilan. But then he would recall Zhilan at her most ruthless.
On their wedding night, she had hated him to the point of madness, cursing him with the harshest words, crying almost to the point of fainting when he possessed her body. The way she looked at him was as though he was her mortal enemy. But after that night, she suddenly changed.
He Teng also very much wanted to believe, that she had truly changed. She had become sensible. Even if she had given in to the compromises of life and marriage, before last night, He Teng had almost completely believed in Zhilan’s change without any doubt. But then, her actions last night shook his trust in Zhilan.
He couldn’t be sure, how sincere was the repentance Zhilan spoke of?
Yet, he still couldn’t find the heart to tell her to drop out of school and return home. Watching her suffer, her brows furrowed like a little kitten whimpering, he instead felt a tightness in his heart.
