Chapter 525: Chapter 525: Looking at Her as if She’s Just a Stranger

An adulterous homewrecker?

Lin Xinlan’s heart ached, and she tried to push him away, but the man caught her hand, laughing, "I’m thinking."

"..."

"I don’t know how to answer you. My previous definition of like was not being annoyed by someone, having some tolerance and patience for them—that was my like.

But now my definition of like is different. Now, my like is truly liking someone, having my heart beat for her, worrying about her, always thinking of her, caring for her, protecting her, giving her the best of everything, making her happy and joyful—that’s my like now.

If we use my current standard of like, I can clearly tell you that I never liked her. If I really liked her, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with you, wouldn’t have been moved by you."

He’s a person who does not easily become infatuated, but once he does, he becomes completely devoted.

Lin Xinlan felt much better hearing him say this.

At least, the person he loved, from beginning to end, was only her.

With a slight smile, she teased, "Rong Shaoze, you shouldn’t carelessly make promises to girls. Now look at how you’re going to clean up this mess, you’ll have to deal with the troubles you’ve caused by yourself!"

He chuckled, pulling her into his embrace, and said with responsibility, "Don’t worry, I will definitely take care of this matter."

In the hospital room.

After Rong Shaoze left, Du Ruoxin fell into a state of restless anxiety.

She always felt that Rong Shaoze had changed.

Even though he had been hot and cold with her before, happy to treat her well at times, and indifferent when not pleased.

But it wasn’t like now, where he looked at her as if she were just a stranger.

His indifferent expression made her uneasy. Could it be that he had decided not to like her anymore, decided to abandon her?

"Mom!" Du Ruoxin grabbed her mother’s hand anxiously, asking, "Has anything happened during the time I was unconscious? Like, has Shaoze fallen in love with someone else?"

Mrs. Du had already decided in her mind that she absolutely couldn’t tell her daughter about Lin Xinlan.

Not now, at least.

What she needed to do now was to recover her health, so she would have the strength to fight with that despicable woman!

"Nothing, don’t overthink it. What kind of person do you think Shaoze is, and do you think any woman could catch his eye? Besides, he’s promised to marry you, how could he fall in love with another woman. Ruoxin, you’re the most special person in Shaoze’s eyes; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten engaged to you. Among so many women, why would he choose you, if not because he likes you?"

"Really?"

"Of course, that’s true! Don’t you have any confidence in yourself?"

Du Ruoxin fell silent.

Though she was very beautiful and excellent in many respects, she had never felt confident in front of Rong Shaoze.

He was so noble, his qualifications unmatched.

In front of him, she felt like nothing, all her advantages unworthy of mention.

Others might not know, but she was well aware.

Initially, his decision to get engaged to her was entirely because she was obedient, never angered him, and knew his likes and temperament well—that’s why he chose her.

But he didn’t love her...

She actually didn’t want anything else, just his love.

If she could have even a little of his love, she wouldn’t feel so frightened and insecure.

Maybe, as her mother said, she was just being oversensitive.

Rong Shaoze, after all, was a man no woman deserved.
