Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Sorry, You Misunderstood

"You are a good person. It is him who didn’t recognize or cherish you. You don’t need to blame yourself for that."

Luo Yifan reassured, believing that the Chen Jing he saw was the same Chen Jing he had always known.

Chen Jing looked deep into his eyes, "No, Brother Luo, you’re wrong. If the me from five or six years ago stood in front of you, you probably wouldn’t give me a second glance."

For Chen Jing, Zhu Zhizhou, this man, was someone she had spent twenty years chasing after and making sacrifices for.

Looking back then, she felt as if she had been brainwashed. She saw her past self as stupid beyond belief.

But most importantly, for this foolishness, she lost the love of her family and ruined her daughters’ childhoods.

A person like that doesn’t deserve admiration, much less love.

"Ah Jing, you’re overthinking this!" Luo Yifan mistakenly thought she was being too hard on herself, "You are wonderful, really!"

Chen Jing placed the second dish of cooked meat on the table, then took the pot and rinsed it under the faucet.

As she reignited the flame with a "snap", Chen Jing said, "Brother Luo, what you see is the current me. The past me was not good. The current me, in fact, came at great sacrifice from Ying’er."

Luo Yifan knew all along how greatly Zhu Qianying influenced Chen Jing. He also knew that Chen Jing loved and listened to Zhu Qianying.

He thought the reason for this was because Zhu Qianying was assertive, while Chen Jing tended to be indecisive.

But now, it seemed it was more than just that.

"I go out every afternoon, do you know what I do when I go out?"

Chen Jing seemed to suddenly change the topic, but it was also something Luo Yifan had been pondering on.

"I don’t know, but I care a lot."

Since she was willing to talk about it, he didn’t mind expressing his real thoughts, "I always thought you were going out for matchmaking dates."

Chen Jing laughed out loud; she had no idea that her daily afternoon outings were a source of torment for him.

"I’m sorry for making you think too much!"

At first, she had not considered how to handle her relationship with him, so she felt it was her own business and there was no need to explain it to him.

But in the past few days, when she had a clear answer in her heart, she was waiting for him to ask.

As long as he asked, she would tell him the truth.

But he still pretended not to see her leaving every afternoon.

So she naturally did not bring it up herself.

Hearing him say that now, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Apparently, this man had been jealous for these past days.

Now that Luo Yifan knew she wasn’t going on matchmaking dates and seeing her rare hearty laughter, he felt that the pent-up frustration of the past time had been worth it.

Chen Jing, finally curbing her laughter, composed herself and told Luo Yifan the truth.

"I go out every afternoon, not for matchmaking dates but to apologize to my brother."

Chen Jing briefly spoke about how she had fallen out with her family for twenty years because of Zhu Zhizhou, and how her family had been forced to leave by the Zhu family.

Luo Yifan only knew that she had no status in Zhu family. He had never known that she not only had no status, she had no dignity either.

He couldn’t mix the current Chen Jing with the past Chen Jing she was talking about.

In his view, if both the past and the present were Chen Jing, this was not a simple change, but a rebirth.

After listening to Chen Jing’s story, Luo Yifan didn’t know how to describe the shock in his heart.

"Ah Jing, I really didn’t expect ..."

"You didn’t expect that I used to be so lowly and weak, right?"

Chen Jing thought she would not have the courage to face her past self in front of Luo Yifan.

Little did she know that when she talked about these old things, she felt much more relaxed.

She could even joke about her own past.

Looking at her smiling eyes, Luo Yifan wanted to shake his head. But in the end, he nodded.

Because he saw relief and liberation in her eyes.

What he meant is the past her had already left her far behind. The present one is a reborn Chen Jing.

"Indeed, it was pathetic! Such a man can’t even be called a man."

Zhu Zhizhou, this man, managed to redefine the bottom limit of scumbags in Luo Yifan’s mind.

"Yes, back then, I just couldn’t see through it. Perhaps it’s because I was in the thick of it."

Chen Jing had contemplated for several days whether or not to talk about these old things.

At first, she was still hesitating. But just now, she spoke about it almost impulsively.

Perhaps it was the right time or maybe because she didn’t want him to think too highly of her.

He would eventually learn about these matters one day. But she preferred to disclose these past events herself rather than let him hear an exaggerated version from others.

The reason could be that she cared about him more than she realized.

Luo Yifan seemed to quickly accept her past. Although the decisions Chen Jing made in the past were ones he couldn’t agree with, everyone has moments of stupidity, right?

Including himself, hadn’t he been making mistakes before?

The difference was that the person he was acting stupid over was worth it, while the person she was acting stupid over was a scumbag.

"Forget it, it’s all in the past. Let’s take them as history!"

He was in love with the current Chen Jing and the person he would be with in the future is also the Chen Jing before him. The past is like a finished page in a book, once done, it’s done.

Chen Jing felt uneasy after revealing everything. It was natural.

After all, when you care about something, you also feel insecure and are afraid of losing it. This is an unchanging fact, especially in relationships.

The past was mentioned up till this point between the two and was not brought up again.

Firstly, Chen Jing had prepared dinner and it was time to eat.

Secondly, they both felt that it was a thing of the past. Having explained it clearly, they considered it done.

Luo Yifan was no expert in cooking and hardly offered any help while Chen Jing was preparing the meal.

But now, he helped to serve the food and fetched bowls and chopsticks.

By the time Chen Jing removed her apron, washed her hands and came out, Luo Yifan had already served the soup and pulled out a chair for her to sit.

When Chen Jing sat down, Luo Yifan picked up his bowl and took a sip of the soup. The savoury taste of the chicken instantly conquered his taste buds.

"The taste is really good!"

Although Luo Yifan wasn’t skilled in cooking, he was quite picky about taste. Otherwise, the Fanxin Restaurant wouldn’t have been flourishing under his management.
