Chapter 17

He wasn’t touched when she confessed in her freshman year, but after so many years, he suddenly was.

Other people’s hearts harden with age.

He, on the other hand, was reverse aging.

I tugged at my lips, laughing mockingly.

“Zhou Boyu, don’t talk to me about having compassion for women.”

“When Ye Shiyuan came to confess to you back then, you rejected her.”

“Because we had just started dating, and you still had that intense novelty and excitement for me.”

“Later, after being together for a long time, the passion faded, and the relationship became dull.”

“So this time, you couldn’t refuse Ye Shiyuan.”

“A proactive, fresh, and undemanding Ye Shiyuan who offered herself to you.”

“Novelty and excitement are the real reasons for your infidelity.”

If not Ye Shiyuan, it would have been someone else.

When the seven-year itch came, he was already eager.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hidden the fact that he and Ye Shiyuan were colleagues from me from the beginning.

And he dared to do this, simply because he was betting that I couldn’t let go of these nine years.

Once the novelty wore off, he would sever all ties.

Even if I caught him, he was confident I would forgive him.

He wanted to have his cake and eat it too, treating me like a fool, playing me at his whim.

Thinking that a few sweet words would smooth everything over.

He kept shaking his head, his voice hoarse:

“Xixi, no, it’s not like that…”

“I really was just momentarily confused, I don’t love her at all.”

His eyes red, he pressed closer, reaching out to hug me.

I disgustedly pushed against his chest.

“Zhou Boyu, stop pestering me!”

“From the moment you cheated, we couldn’t go back.”

“Explaining all this to me is meaningless now!”

“You’ve been back for over three months, and your child is already formed!”

Hearing “child,”

A hint of understanding flickered in his eyes.

He forcefully dragged my wrist, pulling me into the car.

“Are you sick? I’ve already made it clear to you!”

I hurriedly tried to open the car door, but he had already locked it.

The next second, he stated confidently:

“Xixi, she can’t really be pregnant!”

“I’ll call her and clarify, just wait for me to clarify.”
