Chapter 16

I never expected Liang Chen to confess everything to me voluntarily.

The original plan was to provoke his anger toward Hu Feier and his guilt toward me.

Then, I would use him to investigate certain matters.

Perhaps even the heavens couldn’t bear to watch what they had done.

In the end, everything went far more smoothly than I had imagined.

A few days after that, Liang Chen came to me with a stack of documents.

I deliberately didn’t put on makeup, even going so far as to pale my lips with foundation.

When he saw my haggard appearance, his face was filled with distress.

Then, with a loud “thud,” he knelt before me.

This was beyond my expectations.

“Shenshen, I’m sorry.”

“Actually, I’m Hu Feier’s boyfriend. From the very beginning, I approached you because…”

He poured everything out in one breath.

Half an hour later, both our faces were streaked with tears.

Of course, mine were fake.

When he mentioned Hu Feier, his face was full of hatred.

But when he spoke of me, his face was filled with remorse and pain.

“Shenshen, you said I was like a light appearing in the darkest time of your life, but weren’t you the same for me?”

“When I was with her, she would always belittle me, overtly and covertly, making me feel worthless. But you always gave me confidence and encouraged me.”

“But the more you did that, the guiltier I felt.”

“And when I tried to pull away, I realized I had truly fallen in love with you.”

“I don’t dare to ask for your forgiveness. I just don’t want you to be hurt any further.”
