Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Waner Regrets
After the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony, Xiao Tianci was about to leave. "Xiao Tianci!" A clear voice came from behind. He turned to see Lin Waner standing not far away, eyes slightly red, as if she had just been crying. She was dressed in a white long dress today, looking pitiful. "What is it?" Xiao Tianci tone was cold. Lin Waner walked closer, lowering her voice: "Tianci, I know you hate me. Three years ago I was wrong, I should not have treated you like that... but please believe me, I had my difficulties back then!" Xiao Tianci sneered: "Difficulties? What difficulties? Publicly humiliating me, saying I was a waste and not worthy of you - these were difficulties?" Lin Waner shook her head: "No... I was forced! At that time, the Four Great Families施加压力, saying if I got engaged to a waste they would jointly attack the Lin family. My father could only... sacrifice you to protect the Lin family..." She spoke, tears flowing down: "Tianci, actually I have been thinking about you these three years. I know I was wrong, I should not have treated you like that. But you must believe, I never looked down on you!" Xiao Tianci looked at her静态ally, his eyes without any wave. "Lin Waner, do you know how I spent these three years?" His voice was low, "That rainy night three years ago, I almost died outside. I wandered for three months, nearly starved and frozen to death. And all this, was because of your Lin family!" He stepped closer, looking down at Lin Waner: "You said you were forced? Then let me ask you, when you publicly humiliated me on stage, did you have any hesitation in your heart? When everyone was mocking me, did you stand up and speak a word for me?" Lin Waner had nothing to say, just kept shaking her head and crying. Xiao Tianci coldly laughed: "No right? So do not talk to me about being forced. The choices your Lin family made, you must bear the consequences." He turned to leave, Lin Waner desperately shouted: "Tianci! Are you really that heartless? We loved each other after all!" Xiao Tianci stopped but did not look back: "Loved? When you publicly divorced me three years ago, why did not you think about us loving each other?" He continued forward, leaving Lin Waner standing alone, in tears.
