Chapter 171: He Feels Sorry for Her (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The haze in Beijing was not as bad eight years ago.

That day was a sunny day.

There weren’t many people in the cafe, thus after he arrived, he saw her immediately.

He quietly stood outside the cafe and watched her.

She was just like what he had imagined: beautiful, eye-catching and lively. Just like a little sun.

He even nervously held his phone. He wanted to enter the cafe, but he was hesitant.

He shouldn’t be entering, he should hate her. Hate her…

But in the end, he still couldn’t resist the yearning he had for her. He pushed the cafe’s door open and walked in.

At that moment, she was conversing on the phone. She looked really bored, sitting on the sofa, and it also showed that she was distracted.

He didn’t know what the person on the other side of the phone said, but she smiled and replied, “Yes, I’m in Beijing.” She held her chin with one hand and after she finished saying this, her beautiful eyes drifted to the door of the cafe.

The eighteen-year-old version of her was as beautiful as a dahlia blooming on the edge of a cliff, arrogantly beautiful and eye-catching.

“Ok. I will let you go, I am really busy right now. Let’s talk another time!”

“Ok, please help me buy that bag! I like the pink-coloured one, I will transfer the money to you first.”

“Ok, it’s decided. I really have something going on and have to hang up. I will treat you to a meal when I’m back.

Just at that moment, his phone vibrated. After he looked down and saw the contents of the message, he suddenly lifted his head and stared at her with his black eyes full of anger.

And then, he turned around and left.

When he pushed open the door of the cafe and the fresh cold air blew in, he stood on the spot and looked back at her.

That day, he spent the whole time watching her from outside.

He watched her hail a cab and leave, and watched her return.

He watched her wait patiently in the cafe, and even by the time the sky turned dark, she still hadn’t left.

In the end, a middle-aged man rushed over.

That man was dressed refinedly and had the aura of an educated merchant. They looked alike and it seemed like it was the father she had talked about. The one who truly doted on her.

He saw her crying in her father’s arms, and watched as her father waited with her.

He watched from the distance in the late night, as desolation rushed into his heart.

It felt terrible, right?

Because he had been played by her.

But did she know how terrible it felt to be played with?

Yet, when he saw how sad she was, he didn’t feel any pleasure and instead, all he felt was pain.

He had originally wanted revenge, he wanted to punish her.

But at that moment, he still chose to leave.

He had thought that by letting her off, he would also be let off.

However, unexpectedly, when he saw her again eight years later, he has lost his mental stability.

He had used a shameful way to make her stay by his side, and every single time he had tried to convince himself that it was to fulfill his revenge from eight years ago.

However, he only understood now that he hadn’t done it for revenge. He just simply wanted to make her stay by his side.

Now, she was finally by his side, what was there to be unhappy about?

With this in mind, Shen Liangchuan put out his cigarette.

Let the past stay in the past.

He turned around and walked into the master bedroom. He realized that the woman was already sleeping deeply.

But she wasn’t sleeping peacefully, tears were hanging on the corner of her eyes. The Qiao Family had been the richest in her district then, she had been a pampered girl who had grown up in a rich family. She hadn’t hesitated to buy a bag that cost more than 100,000 RMB then. But what had exactly happened to her family that had made her lower herself down to such an extent for money?
