“Feng’er, it’s not like that. I did what I did back then only to help my mother take revenge.” He told her the story of the previous generation—his mother’s unfulfilled love and her hatred for Si Tu Jin, who had treated her best friend poorly, marrying her and ultimately allowing her to die in despair.
So she wanted him to find a way to get close to the Si Tu Group. In the end, to take revenge on Si Tu Jin, his mother forced him to give her up, and he, to save his own life and have a chance to see her again, married Sui Feng.
This long story caused Ru Feng immense pain.
“Feng’er, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had a heart condition. Otherwise, I would never have done that. Did Si Tu Qi Feng have you undergo plastic surgery to stay by his side forever?” He looked at her expectantly. “With a different identity, Feng’er, we can start over without hatred. You won’t be Sui Feng’s sister, and you won’t have to bear societal pressure, right?”
Ru Feng shook her head, wiping away her tears. “You gave up on me because of your mother’s one-sided hatred. This makes me feel sadder than you not loving me. What am I in your heart? What is your so-called love?”
She felt drained and incredibly tired.
“But Feng’er, you still love me, don’t you?”
“Yes, I love you,” Ru Feng admitted. “But I don’t want this kind of love anymore.”
Some people change their identity but keep their love unchanged; others give up love because of their identity.
She smiled. “You guessed my identity because of my second brother’s attitude towards me. That’s because you know him too well.”
You know my second brother’s feelings are pure and persistent. Like him, I can’t tolerate impurities in feelings. We can be unyielding, but collapse easily from a light touch from those we care about.
“I’m sorry, Brother Ning Yuan. I hid my heart condition. I was never capable of love,” she sighed. “I can’t accept your feelings again.”
“Goodbye, brother-in-law.”
“Feng’er!” Ning Yuan reached out.
