My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 725: Side Story Three: Loving You Was Just an Accident

Time flies, three years have passed in the blink of an eye. During the past three years, Leng’s territory has continuously expanded, and its position in the industry has become unshakable. However, for some reason, the void in my heart has only grown larger. The smooth success of my career cannot fill the emptiness within me.

I thought that three years of time would have made me forget that person bit by bit. Perhaps to prove this, I even agreed to my mother’s proposal and got engaged to Cheng Ying. I believe Cheng Ying is the most suitable for me; I can marry her, have children, and lead a stable life.

But all of this is just self-deception in the end.

On the day of the engagement, I felt very calm; there was not a single ripple in my heart. I knew clearly that I was no longer infatuated with Cheng Ying, and that our past had long since ended. Now, all I felt towards her was guilt.

The guests attending the engagement banquet were all prominent figures from various sectors, including my former partners. I saw Zhong Chu sitting alone in a corner of the banquet hall, drinking by himself. I couldn’t help but walk over to greet him.

Zhong Chu said, "If a woman really is willing to risk her life for me, I would certainly be moved."

I was half-believing and half-doubting him and did not take his words to heart. But when he asked, "If it were you, wouldn’t you be moved?" my heart felt as if it had been violently pierced, causing sharp pain.

Zhong Chu’s words made me think of someone, someone I had always wanted to forget.

Yet, I responded indifferently, "No."

Really not? Clearly, I had already been moved, yet I still refused to admit my feelings in front of others.

"Ha, no wonder Lin Yixun ended up so miserable back then."

Zhong Chu, shedding his earlier carefree attitude, now showed a hint of anger.

As for me, upon hearing his words, my heart surged like a stormy sea. I no longer wanted to continue the conversation and turned to leave, but just then I heard him say in a deep voice, "I ran into Lin Yixun a few days ago."

My expression changed, my fingers hidden under my sleeve couldn’t help but tremble, yet my face remained cold and indifferent.

"What does that have to do with me?" I kept telling myself that Lin Yixun and I had long since become strangers.

"Don’t you want to know how she’s doing? She’s not doing well, really bad."

Not doing well?

Perhaps compared to the past, she was indeed not doing well. But with her beauty, there would surely be a steady stream of admirers. Even if she encountered difficulties, there would always be someone willing to stand up for her. How bad could her situation be?

"How she’s doing has nothing to do with me." I glanced at Zhong Chu with irony in my smile, "What, has our notorious smiling devil started feeling a surge of sympathy?"

I know Zhong Chu too well; someone like him would never have sympathy. If a woman triggered his pity, the implication was obvious.

For some reason, an anger rose within me. Lin Yixun really was impressive, wherever she went, she could capture people’s hearts.

"Me, a surge of sympathy? I just couldn’t bear to watch, back then..." Zhong Chu would naturally not admit he had feelings for Lin Yixun. The more he tried to hide it, the more obvious it became.

"Back then, she brought it upon herself." I said coldly.

"Back then, she did overdo it a bit, but the price she paid was too high."

My face turned completely cold. The more Zhong Chu spoke for her, the angrier I became. I didn’t know where my anger came from, but I couldn’t control the fury within.

It was only much later that I found the answer. It turned out, at that time, I was jealous, angry at someone else’s excessive concern for her, angry at myself for not wanting others to approach her when I didn’t even have the stance to stop them.
