Chapter 628: Piercing Through That Layer of Window Paper
As soon as her words fell, a fierce heat surged in the man’s eyes, as if all his emotions were consumed by this dark blaze!
"Su Zixi?" He laughed softly, his deep voice tinged with a mocking curvature, "Miss Gu, are you joking? Su Zixi has been dead for four years."
Zixi’s nose tingled, and her hands clenched tightly.
"She’s not dead, you know full well that I am her." Her voice was slightly choked, "Your wife... she died, but Su Zixi is still alive."
"But my wife is Su Zixi." The man chuckled hoarsely, his voice icy cold.
"He Jingyao, Xiaobao is your son." Zixi lowered her eyes, enunciating every word, "When the explosion happened, I was sent to S country, with burns all over my face and body... My father had planned to have reconstructive surgery on me as soon as I was well, but when we were preparing for the surgery, I found out I was pregnant... For Xiaobao’s sake, I postponed the surgery until he was over six months old, by then, due to the delay, scars remained, but thankfully, the doctor my father found was highly skilled, you can hardly tell unless you look closely."
He Jingyao’s pupils contracted sharply, yet his gaze remained pitch-black and inscrutable, showing no hint of emotion.
"I’m not telling you this to complain, but..." Tears finally slid from the corners of her eyes, "I only want you to know, I didn’t do it on purpose. But I suppose, since you thought I was already dead, knowing that my presence would bring you what it does, why would I have any reason to come back to you... Xiaobao’s arrival was an accident, a surprise, you’re his father, and I’ve never hidden this fact from him."
He Jingyao’s Adam’s apple rolled, and suddenly he seized her wrist.
Surprised, she looked at him: "You..."
"Let’s go." The man’s brows and eyes were cool and composed, "This isn’t the place to talk."
Zixi’s lips moved and she struggled to keep pace with him.
