Chapter 396: Heart Hurts So Much 01_1

“Jin?”

Watching the man who pushed the door open and entered, Lu Xuening was completely terrified.

Why is he here?

Why is he like this?

It’s impossible, he never comes to look for me, each time, it’s me who goes to find him.

He never steps into my room!

“Jin…” Lu Xuening was stunned for a moment, her face then abruptly changed color, and she immediately threw herself at him.

“Jin, Baili Xia is trying to kill me, look, she injured me!”

Just as she was about to throw herself on Dongfang Jin, he evaded by casually stepping aside, causing Lu Xuening to fall into the empty air.

“Jin, you have to listen to me, she wants to kill me, she’s not a good person.”

Dongfang Jin still ignored her, his gaze, wholly fixed on Baili Xia.

Drugged, hypnotized…

He never would have thought, after working as their housekeeper for decades, this woman would do such things to him.

The things he saw were all a lie, Xiaxia…

she never harmed him!

Today, if he were not aware that Xiaxia was coming, he wouldn’t have ended up here by some strange stroke of fate.

Only he never expected, that he would come and hear this truth!

Unbeknownst to him, Dongfang Jin had already walked up to Baili Xia.

Baili Xia just quietly watched him, not saying a word.

Her heart was very sour, so were her eyes, yet the tears stubbornly didn’t fall.

One year.

She had borne this wrongful name, and been wronged for an entire year.

Now, the truth is finally out, but…

what now?

“Xiaxia…” He reached out, trying to touch her face.

Baili Xia took a step back, avoiding his hand.

In a flash, the silver lock chain returned to her waist.

She ignored Dongfang Jin, her gaze only on Lu Xuening.

“Not only did you harm me, but you also framed Dongfang Ji, and manipulated the relationship between the brothers.”

She chose not to look at Dongfang Jin because seeing him would make her heart ache deeply.

“A woman like you is a menace to the Dongfang family.”

“Now that the truth is out, deal with your issues with Mr.

Jin yourself.”

She shifted and was about to walk around the man in front of her, leaving this place.

While she said these words looking at Lu Xuening, they were actually meant for Dongfang Jin.

A year ago, he was drugged and hypnotized, he made a mistake, fine, she won’t hold it against him anymore.

Since it’s not his fault, he didn’t deliberately mistrust her, then…

she forgives him.

But forgiveness is only that, forgiveness, nothing more.

This time, he was fully conscious.

Whatever punishment Lu Xuening deserved, let Mr.

Dongfang Jin handle it himself.

She believed that with his shrewdness, he could take care of all the matters.

But these things had nothing to do with her anymore.

Her heart ached truly, but she was helpless.

After knowing the truth one year later, as far as she’s concerned, it just clears her name.

The Baili Xia of now, is no longer the clean and innocent girl from before.

They…

they can’t possibly be together again.

Just as she was about to walk past Dongfang Jin, the silent Dongfang Jin suddenly stretched out his arm, pulling her into a tight embrace.

He didn’t speak, just buried his face in the crook of her neck.

His body heat was intense, almost burning her skin.

Baili Xia didn’t know what to do, only instinctively trying to push him away.

But Dongfang Jin’s arms got tighter, holding her firmly, refusing to let go.

The more she struggled, the tighter he held her.

In the end, Baili Xia was almost about to punch him in the chest.

She could forgive him, but they can’t go back to the way things were!

Don’t they understand that they can’t go back?

She now belongs to Uncle.

Her body is no longer pure.

Everything…

everything is unalterable!
