Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 564 - Chapter 564 Chapter 564 Absolutely Impossible_1

Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Absolutely Impossible_1 Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Absolutely Impossible_1 Nan Fei cast her eyes down, no longer watching Huo Beijiang, and took a step towards the outside. Hearing footstep behind her, she said coldly, “Huo Beijiang, don’t follow me, and don’t push me.”

Huo Beijiang grabbed her wrist, “The idea of not following you, is not possible.”

His grip was too strong, causing Nan Fei’s wrist to ache unbearably, as if the bones might break at any moment.

“It hurts! Let go.”

Huo Beijiang was startled, the man who just now had shown an overwhelming presence, quickly released her hand as if shocked. Carefully, he held her fine, white wrist in the palm of his hand, an obvious red mark left behind.

A sight that made his heart ache.

He flinched, his gaze growing deeper, becoming filled with an indistinct mistiness.

Nan Fei pulled her wrist out of his grasp, and with a clenched fist she raised her arm up between them. “Look!” She smiled softly, “Do you see it?”

Huo Beijiang’s lips tightened, his eyes not blinking as he stared at the red mark on her wrist, filled with heartache and guilt.

“Hahaha…” Nan Fei couldn’t help but laugh, though her smile was cold and without warmth, “Think back to when we started discussing getting married. How was my family, how was I, treated until now?”

Huo Beijiang staggered slightly, barely able to stand.

“Each injury, just like this bruise on my wrist. For you, it was just an unintended moment, for me, it will linger as a scar that will take a long time to heal.” Nan Fei paused, taking a deep breath to keep back the tears threatening to spill.

She didn’t dare to look at Huo Beijiang, directing her evasive gaze elsewhere, pretending not to care.

Pretending that she wasn’t hurting or upset.

“The amount of hurt you’ve caused me matches the amount of love I have for you. So I must ask, do you still want to continue loving me?”

Her clear and pleasant voice was like the soft clinks of a cold spring trickling over ice. It was pleasant to hear, yet it chilled one to their core.

Huo Beijiang continued to stare at her longingly, his gaze full of greed, heartache, guilt, and regret. It stayed that way for a long, long time, unwilling to let go.

His silence made Nan Fei laugh bitterly, her thoughts clearing, and her heart slowly sinking to the bottom. She had been torn internally just now, unable to claim not to love him or easily let him go.

Could someone who has locked away their heart truly escape? Truly leave?

If she left Huo Beijiang, she doubts she would ever fall in love again.

“I love you, no matter what.” He stared at her intensely, “I’m sorry! I’m just a selfish person, who can’t control his feelings. If my love has brought you pain, then I’ll double the love, use everything I have to love you more, to treat you better…”

His voice was barely a whisper towards the end, and Nan Fei could barely hear him.

“I’m going home!”

“I’ll take you.”

“No need.” Nan Fei hastily departed.

In the park, Huo Beijiang stood there tall and upright. Ning Di didn’t know how long he had been standing there until he himself arrived.

“Captain?” Ning Di furrowed his brows, he had never seen his boss in such a state before. And with his boss’s acuity, even a hundred meters away, he could determine the situation based on footsteps alone.

But he had walked so close, and his boss hadn’t noticed him. If this were in the field, it could have been a fatal mistake.
