Chapter 1230 Heartache and Explanation

"Xiang Yi..."

He glanced at her but didn't speak. Instead, he turned his head and endured the heart-piercing pain.

"Xiang Yi, did you see the news?"

Shi Nuannuan came over, and his indifference explained everything.

He didn't speak, but just sat there calmly.

"Xiang Yi, it's not like that. The news is fake. The truth is not like this!"

"Then tell me, what is the truth?" He spoke calmly, but still didn't look at her.

Shi Nuannuan heard the hoarseness in his voice, as if he was trying to restrain something.

Her heart hurt even more.

"That's just a lie. Cheng Huan's grandfather is sick. He always hopes that I can be with Cheng Huan. He suddenly became critically ill a few days ago. In order to-"

"In order to fulfill his wish, you agreed to marry Cheng Huan." He interrupted her, thinking that this explanation was more cruel than the truth.

Shi Nuannuan was startled and looked at him with heartache.

"No, I've already said it, it was just a lie to Grandpa Cheng..."

"The whole Z city is full of news about your engagement, and you come to tell me now that it was just a lie?" He finally turned his head, and the sadness that flashed across his eyes deeply hurt her heart.

"But, it was a lie..."

"Do lies need to be announced to the whole country?" He looked at her, resisting the pain in his heart, his eyes red.

Shi Nuannuan was stunned again.

She didn't know how to explain this lie, but it was the fact.

She had never thought about getting engaged to Cheng Huan, and she didn't know that this matter would evolve to this point, but how should she explain it so that he would believe her.

"I, I don't know how to explain it, but you should know that I like you, and I said I would only be your bride, and you know all this..."

But her words were a bit ironic to him at this moment.

He laughed at himself, "You only became my bride, but you put on a wedding dress for another man. Don't you think it's ironic that you are telling me this now?"

"Xiang Yi, what should I say so that you will believe me?"

"You don't need to say anything. Between us, from the very beginning..." He closed his eyes, endured the pain, and suddenly the good times they spent together appeared in his mind.

"From the very beginning what?" She was afraid to hear the answer, but she couldn't help wanting to know.

He was stunned for a long time, but he didn't speak for a long time.

From the very beginning, they were destined not to be together.

After thinking of those sweet times, he couldn't say this sentence.

But Shi Nuannuan seemed to hear what he wanted to say in the second half of the sentence.

"From the very beginning, we were not suitable? Or from the very beginning, as your uncle said, I was just playing with your feelings?" If this is really the case, then what is her longing for him?

Because she missed him, she went to G city to find him on the first day of the new year. Because she missed him, she flew to country A to find him. Because she missed him, she could avoid her grandfather and come to his apartment to find him early in the morning. Because she missed him, she racked her brains to get her brother to arrange for her to work in Emperor Zun, just because she wanted to see him all the time.

If all this became what he called inappropriate and playing, then what on earth had she been doing all this time?

Although she tried her best to restrain herself, the faint sobbing still made his heart ache.
