Chapter 285: Chapter 285: We Break our Mutual Obligations and Loyalties_1
Dongfang Yu’s hands fell to his sides, trembling faintly.
Then Hai Xiaotang finally heard his voice.
“It’s true that I framed you, but my feelings for you, they are also true…”
“Ha…” Hai Xiaotang scoffed. Then she released a hearty, bitter laughter.
She laughed till her tears fell uncontrollably, laughed till her belly hurt.
Watching her, Dongfang Yu clenched his fists, his voice raspy, “Hai Xiaotang, my love for you is real. It’s true!”
“Hahaha…” Hai Xiaotang laughed even more sarcastically. She had no idea how she was gathering her strength to stand and not collapse.
But inside, she was really so heartbroken she wished she was dead.
“Dongfang Yu…” Hai Xiaotang shook her head in agony, “Stop being hypocritical. None of this is real!”
“I should have known earlier. You’re so cold-blooded. How could you change all of a sudden? … I noticed something wasn’t right a long time ago, I had a feeling something was off, I should have known…”
Hai Xiaotang still ended up crouching down, consumed by her grief.
Big drops of tears, one by one, splattered on the ground like beads from a broken necklace.
But in Dongfang Yu’s eyes, those tears were like sulfuric acid, eating away at his heart incessantly…
Hai Xiaotang sobbed incoherently, “I was the fool, failing to see your cold-bloodedness even after dying once! Dongfang Yu, only a blind person like me would believe you!”
Dongfang Yu’s pupils contracted suddenly.
Dying once … what does she mean by that?
“Why am I still alive, why didn’t I just die. Why was I deceived by you, why did I believe you, why was I moved by you… I should have stayed far away even if it killed me, why did I give you the chance to hurt me, why did I care, why…”
Dongfang Yu could not bear to hear anymore. He lunged forward and held her tightly, agonized beyond belief, “Hai Xiaotang, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt you, I truly love you, my love for you is real, I didn’t lie about this…”
Hai Xiaotang violently pushed him away, her eyes full of icy hatred, “Stop being a hypocrite! Dongfang Yu, I will never believe you again! I hate you-”
Dongfang Yu fell to the ground, his face instantly turning pale.
In that moment, his world crumbled.
A sudden dread filled his heart. He hastily grabbed her, without regard for pride or decorum, pleading in desperation, “Hai Xiaotang, I only wanted to uncover the truth! Without doing what I did, grandpa would never have confessed the truth. I didn’t want to do this but I had to find the truth! Hai Xiaotang, I am in pain too. To punish myself, I was willing to take the risk! I thought if I died, I would never hurt you again, but I am not dead. But I would rather have died back then…”
But Hai Xiaotang wasn’t hearing any of his explanations.
She coldly freed herself from his grasp. There was only bone-chilling coldness in her eyes, “Dongfang Yu, I was blind, I admit it! But for the rest of my life, no, forever, I, Hai Xiaotang, don’t want to see you ever again! Hear this, from this moment onwards, we are done!”
Boom——
Dongfang Yu’s mind buzzed, his lips drained of color.
Only his eyes remained, bloodshot…
He suddenly grabbed onto Hai Xiaotang’s shoulders, his eyes filled with pain that seemed as if it would bleed, “Why, why do you hate me so much?! Why won’t you listen to my explanation, why do you hate me so much?!”
