Chapter 729 - 740 Why Do This to Me
Just like when you were a child, you dreamed of having a little dress, a princess gown, or the love of your parents.
That dream lasted for many years, and every day you longed to have it.
But as you grew up, even if you were given a little dress, a princess gown, and the love of your parents; you would realize that it no longer meant as much to you.
Even if you possessed it, it seemed to lose its former meaning.
She always thought of herself as a small grass that wanted to lean on him, but now she understood, she could not always be a small grass.
Over the years, she had already grown from a weak little grass into a tree that could grow independently.
And the tree she imagined leaning on in her dreams was no longer the same tree as before.
This world changes every day, and the only thing that remains constant is change itself.
"Nan Mo, we both need to move forward. Please forget me..." Xia Xiaonuan inhaled the faint scent of mint mixed with alcohol on him, tears pooling in her eyes as she spoke.
Only by forgetting me, can you start your life anew. As for me, I am no longer worthy of you.
Perhaps, everything was destined; everything, from the moment we parted ways over a decade ago, was like a shattered mirror that could never be mended.
And he, no matter how stubbornly he tried to restore everything to the way it was, could only add to the pain!
Liang Shaochen’s body trembled violently.
"Qiqi... you want me to forget you?" Liang Shaochen released her and cupped her face with his hands.
His eyes were bloodshot. He reached out, took off her glasses, and stared into her eyes.
"I searched for you for ten years, finally found you, finally reunited with you, and now you want to kick me away! Qiqi, how can you be so heartless? You might as well kill me with a knife!"
His voice, trembling and hoarse, spoke each word furiously.
Xia Xiaonuan lowered her head: "I’m sorry..."
"Qiqi... you’ve changed..." Liang Shaochen looked at her, gritting his teeth: "Do you think I am not as powerful as Nangong Yaoling, that I can’t give you everything you want, so you chose the stronger person in the end? Is that it?"
Xia Xiaonuan’s body stiffened.
"You... what are you talking about?"
******
Nangong Zhongli stepped out of the elevator.
As she walked towards Nangong Yaoling’s ward, she suddenly sensed something and turned around to see a tall figure standing near the stairwell.
The person was only half visible, but Nangong Zhongli furrowed her brows sensitively.
That person... really looked like Shaochen.
But... Shaochen should be at home now! He had told her on the phone earlier that he was tired and wanted to go home to rest.
Nangong Zhongli thought, and turned to leave.
However, just a few steps away, she stopped in her tracks.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and she turned around, striding towards that figure.
...
"I... I never thought of it that way!" Xia Xiaonuan looked at Liang Shaochen: "How can you say that!"
"If that’s the case, Xiaonuan, come back to me... divorce Nangong Yaoling, okay?"
Liang Shaochen grabbed Xia Xiaonuan’s shoulders, speaking excitedly.
Nangong Zhongli approached and happened to hear Liang Shaochen’s words.
It felt like a thunderbolt out of the blue struck her brain in an instant.
Her steps slowed down gradually.
"Shaochen... don’t be like this... I..." Xia Xiaonuan tried to break free from Liang Shaochen, but Liang Shaochen held her tightly, lowering his head to kiss her.
