After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 386: Long River of Dim Lights (Part 6)

Lu Zhonian’s always casual smile finally disappeared completely.

From the day he decided to keep Song Nian by his side, Lu Zhonian knew she was a smart child.

She had always chosen to escape and ignore everything happening around her.

Even when pushed to such extremes by him, she still chose to avoid.

Lu Zhonian thought, if he were crueler, he should have torn off her mask and made her face everything.

But in the past, he ultimately couldn’t bear it; many times, at the moment of decision, he was unable to make a decisive move.

But this time, Song Nian crossed his line.

"Do you feel wronged?" Lu Zhonian’s voice was as cold as ice, "Do you think I’m overbearing, trampling on your dignity and leaving you in a miserable state?"

Song Nian did not speak; Lu Zhonian’s words had hit her soft spot.

She just cried, tears falling drop by drop, as if she had suffered great injustice.

Lu Zhonian hardened his heart and did not wipe them away.

He said, "Nian Nian, your dignity, your decency, everything you have now, I gave it to you. Away from the Lu Family, without my protection, you are nothing."

"I know, Lu Zhonian! I know!" Song Nian’s voice was hoarse, her tears flowed more fiercely, and her body trembled uncontrollably, "Without you, I am nothing! I’m just a little bird you’ve raised, I’m a canary, I can’t live under the sky. I can only live in the greenhouse you built, I know it all!"

Lu Zhonian’s Adam’s apple moved, it had been a long time since he saw Song Nian cry like this.

The words he just said were obviously too sharp, and she was unable to cope for the moment.

The emotion in Lu Zhonian’s eyes darkened as he stared at Song Nian, his voice growing colder, utterly frigid, "Yes, without me, you are nothing."

Song Nian nodded, a bitter smile on her face, "I won’t think about leaving anymore, you can do whatever you want, aren’t you just trying to marry me? Then marry me, I will comply."

Lu Zhonian felt as if someone had punched him in the chest, not too hard yet hitting right at the vital point.

He was no longer a naive boy who would repeatedly ask, do you really love me.

But he still could not deny that he truly cared about Song Nian’s feelings.

"Yes, I want to marry you, I’ve wanted to marry you for a long time," Lu Zhonian lifted his hand, gently and slowly wiping away Song Nian’s tears, whispering softly, "Nian Nian, no man would not want to marry the woman he cares for, you are my everything."

A deep confusion filled Song Nian’s eyes as she looked at Lu Zhonian, that old thorn once again piercing through flesh at this moment.

The question that had lingered in Song Nian for a long time, at this moment, was finally asked.

Her lips trembling, she suddenly grasped Lu Zhonian’s shoulders, her voice breaking, "Your care, does it mean going against my wishes, forcing me to sleep with you? Lu Zhonian, I already liked someone else that year! Why couldn’t you just let me be!"

The atmosphere instantly went dead silent.

Lu Zhonian’s pupils were emotionless as he looked at Song Nian’s incessant questioning face.

"Do you want to know?"

Song Nian’s nails dug into Lu Zhonian’s clothes, her eyes reddened, but still unblinkingly staring at him, "I don’t need to know, I guessed."

Lu Zhonian laughed in extreme anger, "What did you guess?"

"Because you’re dark, you’re twisted! You’re jealous that I could be happy! That’s why you disregard my feelings and keep me here!"

Song Nian’s lips curled into a cold smile, discordant with her appearance, she said, "I will never forget when I was a child, I wanted to keep a dog, and you drowned my puppy in the well, saying that since I was adopted by the Lu Family, from now on, I couldn’t live as I wished!"

Lu Zhonian’s expression was extremely calm, he even patiently retorted, his tone getting lighter, "And then? What’s your conclusion?"

"Lu Zhonian, you must have been miserable all your life, huh? You can’t stand seeing the people around you happy, so when you knew I fell in love, that’s when you destroyed me. You kept me at the Lu Family just to derive pleasure from my daily agony! You’re sick! A lunatic!"

Lu Zhonian really did not expect Song Nian could use such dirty words when cursing someone.

She fully revealed her claws, sharp, visible to the bone.

Lu Zhonian grasped Song Nian’s wrist, tightening his grip gradually.

He smiled calmly, saying, "Song Nian, you remember so clearly everything I’ve done to you, then you must also remember that I told you, never say words that you can’t bear the consequences of. Did you think of the consequences when you said these words?"

Song Nian smirked triumphantly, "I thought about it, you wouldn’t bear to see me die, you prefer me living half-dead like this."

Lu Zhonian’s face turned utterly livid.

He abruptly let go of Song Nian’s hand and sneered, "Do you really think, that Jiang Ci liked you? Do you think he was any different from Bai Shuci! Song Nian, wake up! They approached you, all intending to use you!"

Song Nian fiercely pushed Lu Zhonian away, "I won’t allow you to speak of Jiang Ci like that! He’s already dead! He’s already dead... Lu Zhonian, slandering a dead person, you truly disgust me..."

"Do you trust Bai Shuci so much because you think he resembles Jiang Ci?" Lu Zhonian saw through Song Nian, he sneered slowly, "But he’s not Jiang Ci, he’s a thorough swindler. It’s lucky Jiang Ci is dead, or perhaps one day you would also discover, he was a swindler too!"

"Enough, I don’t want to listen! Get out! Lu Zhonian, I hate you! You’re the person I hate most in my life!" Tears fell from Song Nian’s eyes, she bit her lip tightly, choking out, "Jiang Ci was the best person in this world! He’s nothing like you!"

"What’s so different?" Lu Zhonian looked at Song Nian’s aggrieved face, he was so furious it was fierce, the veins on his forehead pulsing, smiling yet his expression stark, "Are all men, yet he’s nobler than me? Song Nian, I never regret anything I did to you, it’s you who never understood your place, you wanted too much, yet you don’t deserve it."

Song Nian had a nightmare again that night.

She stood in the empty hall of the Lu Family, watching middle-aged men with serious faces sitting on the sofa, their young faces filled with terror.

They were discussing her destiny, treating her like a commodity.

Until a young man in black hair and white clothing came down from upstairs, leaning casually on the railing, his gaze descending with indifference and arrogance, an air of nobility as if untouchable by dust, he said, "Let this little sprout stay by my side, you all can leave now."

Song Nian stood dazed, until the young Lu Zhonian extended his hand to her, he said, "Come with me."
