"So, what was the reason why you abandoned me back then?" I asked.

"Don't use the word 'abandonment'," He Yu sighed and said deeply, "Emotionally speaking, I have never 'abandoned' you, otherwise I wouldn't have let Zhou Kaicheng come forward to support your career...... But I was in pain for a long time when I made that big decision. I was looking for a way to leave you temporarily and keep your feelings for me intact, so I came up with the idea of using 'death' to trick you, but to be honest, it was too bad—"

"I ask why you abandoned me!? Don't tell me all this nonsense! ”

"I still can't tell you the specific reason now," He Yu stood up, facing the balcony, his tone was unusually heavy, "I've been waiting for 8 years, and I won't leak it to anyone until the matter is done, even if your misunderstanding of me deepens, I still can't tell you...... Anyway, sooner or later you will know the answer, and there is no rush for this moment. ”

I couldn't help but let out a sneer, "So, what do you mean by harassing me several times now?" Are you trying to tell me that you have been helping me behind my back all these years, allowing me to live a rich life, and you don't owe me, let me let go of my hatred for you, and continue to wait for you to come back and reconcile with me? ”

He looked out the window, silent for a long time, "No, I know I owe you a lot, so I do intend to reconcile with you and give everything I have to make amends for the damage done to you." And now I am no longer the poor sour man who had nothing 8 years ago, I have enough confidence to give you happiness, I just ask you to keep your original intention for me. ”

"......" I closed my eyes and just thought it was ridiculous.

"Wife,"

He walked up to me and shouted in a somewhat abrupt, difficult, low voice...... That familiar feeling broke my heart.

I still remember many years ago, after he confirmed his relationship with me for the first time, he called my wife directly, I called him husband, whether it was calling or texting or calling him in daily life, he was a sweet husband and wife, but rarely called each other's names. At this moment, when I heard his long-lost 'wife' again, all the sadness of the years came to my heart, and my eyes were already filled with tears...... I looked at the ceiling, trying to hold back the wetness in my eyes.

"I really love you," He Yu sat down in front of me, holding my cheek with one hand, emotionally and depressedly reminiscing about the past, "From the first time I saw you in college, I knew I was finished...... At that time, I wanted to catch you immediately and confess to you, but I retreated, because I felt that I was too poor to give you anything, and then I met for the second time, and the strong desire for you in my heart made me no longer care about how many pounds and taels I had, so I decided to die to get you......"

"Don't say it," I lifted his hand and turned to the other side, a little excited, "shut up quickly, I don't want to hear this." ”

"In the years I was with you, I lived a very happy life, probably too happy, so a disaster fell from heaven and took the lives of my parents in a year," he said here, his face became more solemn, "I value you very much, but in the same way, I also value my own parents very much, so I can't accept such a big change in a short period of time......"

He didn't say any more.

Just like 8 years ago, whenever the topic of his deceased parents was touched, his whole person suddenly became very gloomy, gloomy to the point of being terrible......

"You go," I said tiredly, no longer having the strength to hate him, "...... The past is gone, and it took me 8 years to get used to life without you, and I don't want to care about why you left in the first place, and I don't care about what you are suffering, because the damage you have caused me will never be reversed! I will not retaliate against you, but I will not choose to forget and forgive, and I also advise you to cherish the wealth and glory you have exchanged for our relationship, and go back to be responsible for your fiancée. ”

"......" He still looked at me for a moment, with a heart-wrenching pain in his eyes, "I don't believe it, I lost you like this,"

He took a deep breath, and his voice became deeper and more profound, "If you didn't still love me, you wouldn't have raised He Yi, you wouldn't have been single all year round, you wouldn't have often gone to the place where I tricked you into jumping into the river back then, and you wouldn't hate me as much as you do now...... It can be seen that you still have a place for me in your heart, but you are angry with me and don't want to admit it! ”

I snorted, "You can think whatever you want." ”

He moved closer to me, "Wife—"

Suddenly, I was enraged by his title, and I raised my hand and slapped him like an electric shock, "...... Stop 'insulting' me with that word! ”

After saying that, I grabbed the pillow next to me and threw it in his face, yelling, "Say it again, I don't want to see you, don't come to disturb my life again, whether I live or die has nothing to do with you, and it will disappear in front of my eyes immediately!" Get lost! After the roar of collapse, I covered my face with my hands, and the whole feeling was heartbreaking.

Probably knowing that I have suffered all kinds of betrayals recently and am in a very bad state, he took a deep breath and said lightly, "Then you rest, I'll go first." ”

I was the only one in the room again.

In his mind, he was still thinking about He Yu's face and what he had just said......

I can't go back with him...... No matter how much sweet words he says, he can't change the fact that he has been deceiving me with fake death for 8 years, which is devastating to my humiliation and injury, and I will never be able to accept him again in my life......

*

After a few hours of confusion, I went downstairs to drink some water, and I was a little sober, and my mind was still wandering around what He Yugang said, about his investment in Yuncan behind his back for many years...... So, I had to pick up my phone and call Zhou Kaicheng.

He quickly connected, "Hey, Yuncan? ”

"......," I paused for a few seconds and asked lightly, "Tell me, did you lie to me too?" ”

"What?"

"I ask you, have you lied to me all these years?"

"......" this time he was silent.

"Hello?"

"Well," Zhou Kaicheng said in a low voice on the phone, "He Yu, I told you everything?" ”

"Why lie to me?" It didn't take long for me to calm my heart, and there were waves again in such a question, "When you first approached me, you knew that He Yu was not dead, and you still had a good 'friendship' with him, why did you watch me suffer from the pain of longing, but you didn't want to say anything?" ”

"Because—" He sighed on the phone, and remained in an indescribable silence.

"Because of what?"

"Because I love you too." His voice was very soft and faint, but it seemed to take a great deal of strength to come out.

“……”

He continued to be frank, "I have a very good relationship with He Yu, when I knew the story of him and you, I didn't think much about it and agreed to his entrustment, and then approached you, understood you, and helped you." Over time, I found myself thinking about you that I shouldn't have...... This is also the reason why I have not dared to take too much initiative with you for many years, I am too conflicted in my heart, on the one hand, I have a marriage, and on the other hand, I consider the friendship with He Yu...... So I've been restraining myself, but you know, I'm just an ordinary man, and I've been with you for a long time, and I can't control my heart at all...... However, now that He Yu is back, if you also intend to get back together with him, I will not bother you anymore, and I plan to go abroad at the end of the year. ”

Hearing this, I felt my heart sinking again, "You're going to just leave?" ”

"This is my only way out," his voice was full of sadness and helplessness, "I said, I'm not young anymore, I've long lost the blood and madness of those young men, I know my affection for you, but I also respect your life." If you have any difficulties in the future, you can still come to me at any time. ”

"You disappointed me so much, Zhou Kaicheng ......" I leaned weakly against the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, and could no longer maintain a calm and dignified image in front of him like before, I was full of loss and hardship, and said emotionally, "I thought that you were the only man who didn't make me feel so desperate, but I didn't expect——"

"I'm sorry, Yuncan, don't say such things, I'm ......" He seemed to be tangled. After a pause, he spoke again, "I said that I wanted to reinvest in you to start a new company that day, you didn't understand what I meant, and now you should know?" ”

Yes, I finally got it.

It is precisely because of He Yu, the real investor behind Yuncan Clothing, that Zhou Kaicheng was able to turn a blind eye to Jiang Feng's seizure of control of Yuncan, which just made me disassociate myself from Yuncan Clothing from now on, and then he used his money to reinvest in my business......

After learning more about these truths, I was speechless, holding my phone blankly, not knowing how to respond to him.

"Yuncan?"

I didn't answer him again and hung up silently.

Next, I got sick.

I was lying in bed with a splitting headache, a high fever, a hot body, weakness in my limbs, and a constant cough...... Tossing and turning in a hazy sleep, his mouth was talking about chaotic dreams, nightmares one after another, and his chest was like a big stone pressed against him, and he couldn't breathe......

After He Yi found out about my symptoms, he forced me to go to the hospital, but I couldn't get up at all and didn't want to go.

My eyes were half-open and half-closed, and I said weakly, "Don't worry, it's just a simple little cold, just drink more hot water." ”

"......" He Yi didn't listen, and directly picked me up on the bed, and while going downstairs, he asked Sister Tao to prepare daily necessities for going to the hospital.

"You put me down, I don't want to go to the hospital, I'm too lazy to toss."

"Don't talk nonsense, save some energy, and put your arms around my neck." 20-year-old He Yi is already a tall and strong man, he easily hugged me in his arms and got into the car directly.

"Sister Tao is going to drive, and I'm taking care of my sister-in-law in the back." He Yi sat behind me with his arms, personally put on a coat for me, and made me fall down and lean on his lap.
