Chapter 336 - 335: Detecting Clues (9)
Upon hearing those two words, she stood frozen on the spot. Chuxia? Why was someone calling for Chuxia?
And this question was soon answered. No, it was more correct to say that all of her questions were answered.
She stood at the doorway listening through the door to the man she loved pour out his heart to another woman, shyly confessing his feelings to her, expressing his affection to her.
She had always believed that Shi Che hadn’t shown any feelings for her merely because he was a reserved person who preferred to keep his feelings within and not voice them.
It was at this moment that she realized it wasn’t because he was reserved but because, from beginning to end, he had never liked her at all.
His closeness with her, his failure to deny the rumors outside, it was all for the sake of creating an illusion. He wanted Mrs. Shi to misunderstand, to think he was fond of her, so that... Mrs. Shi wouldn’t choose her, allowing him to marry the woman he truly loved.
And the woman he truly loved wasn’t her, it was Ling Chuxia, her own sister, the sister who could never compare to her in any way.
No one knew the feelings of the woman hiding by the door at that moment, that brief period of time feeling endlessly dragged on. Every word Shi Che said echoed in her ears, lingering; each word was like a sharp blade being plunged ruthlessly into her heart, almost suffocating her.
The love she thought she had was nothing but a deception. He didn’t like her but had created a splendid dream for her and just when she thought that dream was about to come true, he shattered it ruthlessly.
How could he do this to her?
