Falling for the Best Man, A Second Chance at Love - Chapter 29
When I came out, Gu Huaichen’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Xianxian…”
I looked at him quietly, my tone indifferent:
“Gu Huaichen, go back. Your wife is still waiting for you at home.”
He lowered his head, speaking softly:
“I haven’t registered the marriage with her yet… I won’t marry her…
I didn’t know you were pregnant when you participated in the research back then… I also didn’t know that because of a misunderstanding, we lost a child…
Xianxian, if I had known all this… I wouldn’t have chosen her… No matter what, I would never have chosen her…”
I laughed.
His self-deceiving look was just too funny.
Those years, his career flourished, and he was full of ambition, with so many women flocking to him like butterflies.
The pain of losing my child, mixed with his numerous flirtations, ground away at my heart.
I too was once trapped in that small, suffocating world, unfulfilled and disheartened.
Our relationship had already reached a dead end long before Ye Kelin came between us.
Even if it wasn’t Ye Kelin, there would have been another fork in the road.
Something that would have made us part ways.
Seeing that I said nothing, he panicked and tried to grab my hand, but I dodged him.
A shadow passed through his eyes, and his rims gradually reddened.
“Xianxian, I was wrong, I know I was wrong…
You’re only with Sheng Moyang to spite me, aren’t you?
Fifteen years of our feelings-you won’t give up so easily.
I’ll break it off with her right away. Let’s get remarried, okay?”
It was as if I’d heard an absurd joke. I couldn’t help but laugh:
“Then what about the child in her womb?”
He stared at me in shock, his lips trembling.
“You… you know… Don’t worry, I’ll make her get rid of it, I won’t let her give birth, I only want you and my child.”
I curled my lips in mockery, my gaze shifting to behind him.
“Ye Kelin, did you hear that clearly?”
He turned around.
He locked eyes with Ye Kelin, her face streaked with tears.
Before I came down, I had called her.
By some twist of fate, she heard her new husband’s heartfelt confession herself.
The next second, she lost all reason and rushed at me like a madwoman.
Gu Huaichen stepped in front of me and pushed her away.
She fell heavily to the ground.
Red blood slowly flowed down her calf.
Her desperate and mournful cries were so much like mine all those years ago.
