Chapter 169: 173 I disdain the world, but I believe in you!

Wen Nian gripped Song Lili’s hand so tightly, it almost broke her fingers.

Is it fair...

She also wanted to ask, is it fair?

"Song Lili, I detest this world, I really detest it!"

His handsome, gentle face showed not even a trace of brightness, only a layer of gloominess overshadowed his beautiful eyes.

"You should know this better than anyone."

He suppressed his voice, his breath close to her lips.

Song Lili’s heart skipped a beat...

She had forgotten, not just now, but for a very long time...

In public, he was the grandson of Wen Liangyu, the only son of Wen Chou, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the destined scion of the Wen Family. But in private, he was separated from his mother at the age of five and was only cared for by an old housekeeper who managed his daily life. He had no childhood, always had endless books to read and homework to do.

He lived in the house opposite hers.

The old housekeeper was a former soldier who claimed to everyone that Wen Nian was an abandoned baby he had found.

Just like that, he lived for sixteen years in the military compound of Ruicheng.

At sixteen, he joined the army under the status of an orphan and suffered countless bullies in the military camp.

He didn’t meet his mother again until he was twenty...

In public, he always smiled gently, but in private, she often saw his disdain.

The more she grew up and understood the world, the more she felt Wen Nian’s disdain towards it...

But in front of her, he always smiled openly and naturally, making her feel that his disdain and darkness were just her illusion, until...

After he had been the President for two terms, she truly understood that he had never liked this world, yet such a man ruled the world using his power and intelligence, changing the world...

He was a paradox. She felt she knew him better than anyone else yet often felt she didn’t know him at all.

But no matter what kind of person he was, Song Lili was certain of one thing—she would feel sympathy for him... starting from when he was very young, and she was even younger.

Because she knew Wen Nian was more pitiful than her, she had always felt at ease.

"But it’s because of you that I’ve tried to accept this world, tried to believe that there is a part of humanity like you, pure and beautiful, whether smiling or crying, it’s all real."

"And it’s because of you that I’ve wanted to try to change the world. If not on a grand scale, then starting with our country!"

"My parents say they love me but let me live as an orphan. My grandfather says he loves me, only wanting to use me to continue dreaming of his supreme power. Song Lili, so many in this world say they love me, I don’t believe any of them."

"But I believe you! I’ve given you my heart and soul, but what are you giving me now?"

"..."

Song Lili only felt her chest tightening and then throbbing with pain.

Wen Nian’s eyes darkened, and the tender emotions seemed to evaporate like mist.

"You said you wanted to apply to the military academy, I disagreed. I spoke the truth from my heart, but have you told me the truth? Did you apply because you’ve had this dream since you were young, or because living in the President Mansion made you realize the disparity between us?"

"You can fool others with such words, but do you think you can fool me?"

"..."

"I’ve told you the truth, what about you? How much are you hiding?"

"You disagreed with me applying to the military academy, of course, I could only hide it from you!"

"Because you refused to tell me the truth!"
