Chapter 281 - In Love, Everyone Is a Coward (17)
Chapter 281: In Love, Everyone Is a Coward (17)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The cloakroom was silent. Zhuang Nainai’s heart was beating like a drum. It seemed as though she had lost all her courage after asking her question.
The hardships that she had weathered through the past few years had long chipped away at the sharp mind she once possessed in high school. In any case… she’d had her heart shattered into pieces by love.
Over the years, in the dark of the night, she had always thought to herself – did he ever love her all those years ago?
She had loved him with every fiber of her being, but the result was…
After so abruptly asking the question that she had deliberated over in the past five years, she felt a flicker of hurt rushing past her.
She raised her head and saw that he was shocked by her question. A glimpse of bewilderment flashed across his otherwise lust-filled eyes. It seemed like he did not hear her words clearly. Soon after, his gaze slowly fixed itself on her.
Si Zhengting was in a daze.
What was she asking him?
If he had ever loved her?
He thought that the question was so childish that it was laughable.
He didn’t just love her a little – he loved her a lot, so much so that it was beyond his imagination!
Upon seeing how nervous she was, Si Zhengting’s expression inexplicably softened. Was she worried that his feelings for her had changed in the past five years?
Si Zhengting sighed. He said, “Nainai, in all these years, I never…”
Before he could finish his sentence, she hastily moved her head closer to his and mashed a kiss to his lips!
His body stiffened slightly. As she had taken the lead in the kiss, her eyebrows fluttering slightly as she did so, it seemed that she had asked him that question in a moment of passion. He surmised that she did not require an answer from him.
His heart lurched. He could not hold back any further. He deepened the kiss.
Zhuang Nainai was filled with anticipation as she observed his lips parting slightly.
She felt that her mind had gone blank all of a sudden, having the adverse effect of causing her to be so nervous that she could not hear what he was saying clearly. It felt as though his voice was resonating from a long distance away.
“Nainai, in all these years, I never…”
Never what?
“I never loved you,” perhaps? Or perhaps it was “I never forgot you”?
But she suddenly didn’t want to hear his answer.
She was deathly afraid that she would hear something that she didn’t want to hear. Without any hesitation, she’d covered his lips with hers!
She had given up on obtaining the answer that she had been searching for in the past five years at the last minute.
The wound in her heart had taken five years to scab over, and she had no intention of interfering with the wound again.
This kiss seemed to last an eternity.
They broke away from each other only when they both were out of breath. A thread of saliva connected their lips together. In such a secluded, private area, it made their relationship seem especially ambiguous.
Zhuang Nainai’s cheeks were flushed. Upon seeing Zhuang Nainai in such a state, Si Zhengting could not help but carry her in his arms. He walked to the master bedroom and gently lowered her onto the bed.
Then, he bent over and lowered himself over her body.
———
On the level below, Si Jingyu had already eaten her dinner. She then calmly returned to her bedroom.
But as she closed the door to her bedroom, she clenched one hand into a fist. The other hand retrieved her cell phone from her pocket.
The display was brimming with light, and the word “Husband” flashed on the screen.
When she saw that salutation flashing on her screen, her heart felt as though it was being tightly clenched by a hand.
The indifference that she displayed in the day disintegrated at that very moment.
As she was alone in the room, she allowed herself to be immersed in the emotions that she had fought so hard to suppress.
Emptiness, bewilderment, agony, and pain were evident on her face!
But she still picked up the phone. She was startled by the calmness of her own voice – she found it chilling. “Have you signed the divorce agreement?”
