"When I first married him, I believed his good words and said that I would treat him well. However, after I found out that he had a violent tendencies, his two oldest children told me that their mother was beaten away by him …"

Hoth Ni's words were filled with regret.

She still didn't have the courage to say the real reason for her marriage to Andrew.

What seemed fatal now was nothing compared to the secret that was hidden in his heart.

"Then what are your plans for the future?" Lu Zhiyuan looked at her crying face with concern.

She pretended to be unaffected as she smiled, "I don't have any plans. For a person whose heart has died, there doesn't seem to be anything to fear from living, much less from death."

The corner of Lu Zhiyuan's lips moved, he wanted to say something to console her, but nothing came out.

"Right, what about you?" Hoth Ni was worried that Yue Yang would leave after seeing that he had nothing else to say, and wanted to find a topic to chat with him, "I just got off the plane and I saw that you wanted to become father. Ah Yuan, congratulations."

"Thank you." The corner of Lu Zhiyuan's mouth curved into a faint smile.

That "thank you" phrase was like a knife, fiercely stabbing into her heart.

She forced out a smile and continued: "I really envy Miss Su. To have such a good husband like you, I presume she has some outstanding qualities. Otherwise, I would not have agreed to let her into the Lu Family …"

Although she said it out loud, it was actually a test.

According to the news she had seen online, Suhi Wei's family was in a poor condition, and was not the right family for Shen Yin to ask for. She was wondering, what kind of trick did that woman use to make Shen Yin fall for her?

Lu Zhiyuan frowned, he was not willing to answer the question, and looked at her, "You just came back, rest well, call me again if you need anything."

His concerned voice was filled with estrangement.

Hoth Ni felt that she was not used to it and shouted, "Ah Yuan... Are we going to be strangers from now on? "

Lu Zhiyuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to say that she was the first one to leave, but after thinking about it, the things in the past were already in the past.

"I'll go back first." He coldly avoided her question.

Hoth Ni had an unprecedented sense of crisis, she ran forward and hugged him from behind, crying as she said, "I'm sorry Ah Yuan, I've let you down, but all of this has my own reasons."

He frowned, trying to wrench his hand away, but hesitated at the sound of her weeping.

It was the same in the past. Every time they had a bit of an argument, she would use this method to get his forgiveness. Every time, he would easily forgive her. Only this time, he didn't …

Five minutes later, he removed the hand that was tightly wrapped around her waist. With his back facing her, he said coldly, "Everything that happened in the past has been forgotten since the day I chose a new life. There's no such thing as disappointment. Take care."

"Ah Yuan..." Hoth Ni was frightened by these words. She hugged him once again, crying as she pleaded, "Don't be so cruel to me. I've always loved you. "I really can't live on anymore …"

She cried extremely sorrowfully, her weeping grabbing onto Lu Zhiyuan's heart.

He turned his head, looked at Hoth Ni who was covered in tears, and said with furrowed brows, "Can you stop giving up on yourself?"

"I don't want to become like this either, but Zhiyuan, my life has already been ruined. I can't see any hope now, and even my only hope, you, don't care about me anymore. I …" Before Hoth Ni could finish her words, she picked up the fruit knife on the table and was about to cut open her wrist.

"Ding-er!" Lu Zhiyuan anxiously took the fruit knife in her hand.

Hoth Ni's face turned pale white, she looked at him in shock: You called me Dan'er just now? An indescribable emotion filled her heart as she smiled, "Finally, I'm not a born Miss Huo …"

Lu Zhiyuan's thin lips tightened, his expression was cold, and his eyes revealed an unfathomable depth.

"Don't do anything stupid." he said coldly.

Hoth Ni nodded and looked at him pitifully, "Then can you stay with me? "I really need your company, or else I can't guarantee …"

"You know who I don't like threatening me." Lu Zhiyuan rejected him coldly.

Hoth Ni knew that Lu Zhiyuan did not like being forced into a corner, so he compromised appropriately, "It's only for a little while, is it okay?"

Lu Zhiyuan remembered that he had promised to go back and accompany Suhi Wei for dinner. He looked at the time and at five o'clock, he reluctantly agreed, "Five minutes."

The action he took in view of time once again broke Hoth Ni's heart.

In the past, he had been extremely patient with her and would not waste any time. But now, he was showing such impatience.

Things are different, what a bleak situation.

She had overestimated her place in his heart.

The place that originally belonged to her had already been replaced by that woman called Suhi Wei.

In the past, she was also a treasure that he held in his hands, but she had lost this opportunity. Now it was too late for her to make amends.

In the end, he didn't know that the reason she chose to leave was to fulfill his happiness.

It was just that she was not as great as she had imagined. After experiencing Andrew's cruel domestic violence, she had tasted a feeling that was even more hopeless than death.

What was left was a lowly life, and this was even more the case. The pride that he had once held high in his heart had now been stepped into the earth, and it was not worth mentioning.

There was only a unwilling heart.

Not happy, and not willing to give it up.

"Ah Yuan, do you still remember this crystal ball?" Hoth Ni took out all the gifts that Lu Zhiyuan had given her, and said with a smile, "There are two puppets inside. At that time, you said, one was me, and the other was you.

"Throw it away." Lu Zhiyuan interrupted her, his heart aching from the pain.

It was true that he was unable to completely forget about these memories, but he kept reminding himself in his heart that Lu Zhiyuan, you and her are already in the past. You have your own responsibilities now, you have to be responsible for Suhi Wei, be responsible for the child.

Hoth Ni's hands trembled, the smile on her face froze, and after recovering from her shock, she stubbornly shook his head, "Ah Yuan, that's impossible, I won't throw away these things. Even though you have forgotten our past, to me, this is what I want to keep for the rest of my life, I will keep them forever."

She was afraid that Lu Zhiyuan would throw away all these things and put away all the things she had taken out. She smiled sadly, "Since your heart no longer belongs to me, forcing it doesn't matter, you can go back now."

After all, they had loved each other for a few years.

It was no use pretending to be pitiful in front of him.
