Chapter 291: Chapter 291: How Good it Would Have Been to Fall in Love with Her Earlier _1
She had expressed all her affection for him.
He had never seen such a forthright girl before.
Even then, he knew that he would one day marry her, with no other options available.
But he hated the idea of someone else controlling his life, especially when it came to marriage.
He vented all his dissatisfaction on Hai Xiaotang. He treated her coldly and made no effort to hide his disdain for her.
He believed that if he did this, she would certainly give up. If she gave up, they would not have to get married.
But she didn’t. Her fondness for him never faded.
No matter how he treated her, she still liked him very much.
At times, he felt she was too naive, too foolish. So, knowing she would not give up, and finding himself unable to change anything, he agreed to marry her.
He didn’t love anyone, so it didn’t matter to him who he married.
And he did it partly out of spite for Hai Xiaotang.
If you will not give up, if you insist on marrying me, don’t blame me if you’re unhappy in the future.
So even after they got married, he remained cold to her.
He was waiting for the day when she would regret it, waiting for the opportunity to take his revenge on her, to mock her.
However, he never expected that she would come to regret it, stop loving him… while he gradually fell for her.
And it happened so quickly, leaving no room for struggle.
The reason it happened so fast, was probably because he had feelings for her all along, he just didn’t know it.
Dongfang Yu was filled with regret now. If only he had fallen in love with her earlier.
Maybe things would be different now.
They wouldn’t be in so much pain, and Hai Xiaotang wouldn’t have suffered so much.
However, it was now too late for such thoughts. He could only hope that her heart hadn’t really died, that there would be a day when it could be revived.
And he wouldn’t give up, he would never give up on her!
“Hai Xiaotang, I really can’t let go, don’t blame me…” Dongfang Yu announced hoarsely, then he leaned in and kissed her trembling lips with his.
…
Hai Xiaotang woke up not long after she had fainted.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Mrs. Zhang sitting by her bedside.
Seeing her wake up, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked with concern, “Miss, you’re finally awake. How are you feeling, do you feel unwell?”
Only then did Hai Xiaotang realize that she was in the hospital.
She remembered fainting after leaving the prison. It must have been Dongfang Yu who brought her to the hospital.
“Miss, I made you some food. This time you must eat something. If you don’t start eating, your health is going to fail!” Mrs. Zhang said, her eyes becoming misty.
Hai Xiaotang propped herself up, and Mrs. Zhang quickly helped her and placed a pillow behind her back.
Sitting up in bed, Hai Xiaotang gave a wry smile and asked, “Mrs. Zhang, what have you made for me to eat?”
Mrs. Zhang quickly opened the thermal lunch box she had brought, “I made you some chicken soup porridge, it’s really delicious. Have a taste, you’ll love it.”
Seeing Mrs. Zhang’s worrying gaze, Hai Xiaotang felt a bitter sweetness in her heart.
Besides her grandfather, Mrs. Zhang was the person who cared the most about her, and she didn’t wish to make her sad.
Plus, she really should perk up. She couldn’t collapse so easily.
Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Mrs. Zhang, I will eat. Please give it to me.”
“I’ll feed you!” Mrs. Zhang showed a happy smile. Hai Xiaotang didn’t stop her, and she allowed Mrs. Zhang to feed her the chicken soup porridge.
The fact that she had eaten it all brought a dazzling smile to Mrs. Zhang’s face. Indeed, after having something to eat, Hai Xiaotang looked a lot more energetic.
