Chapter 852: 852, Restless Heart 3
“Back then, I fell in love with her because, despite her arrogance and capriciousness, she was kind-hearted at the core. She was always by my side, helping me against Shi Guozheng and the others. That’s why, all these years, I’ve been silently watching over her, even when she was my brother’s fiancee. I really, really wanted to accompany her, to walk together like lovers, like intimate partners. No matter how arrogant, how capricious, how indifferent to me she was, I kept telling myself that I loved her and that she loved me. Love was enough.”
He paused, then continued, “So no matter what happened between us, I would always feel it was my fault because I am the man. I would seriously coax her back. But gradually, I realized she cared less and less about me. She was like a child who had been spoiled rotten, truly spoiled by me and her father. That’s why she got pregnant and didn’t tell me, always doubted that I could protect her. She just carelessly told me that the child was my brother’s and hers, and then she ruthlessly aborted the baby.”
With a sigh, Song Qinghuan’s expression was somewhat dejected. “I’m sorry, Annuo, there’s something I’ve never told you. Back then, I didn’t because I felt Han Qianqian had gone too far. But the truth is, the child you had with Han Qianqian was an ectopic pregnancy. It was after this discovery that she schemed to use the baby to trap me.”
Shi Annuo laughed coldly and then fell silent without any expression.
Song Qinghuan looked at him somewhat surprised. “You don’t seem surprised at all. Did you already know?”
A desolate expression flickered across Shi Annuo’s face as if he had thought of something.
He took a breath, suppressed the sadness, grief, and anger in his heart, and then spoke softly, “Yes, I knew. Not long after I went abroad, while you were in Q City losing weight, my brother told me. He said I could choose for myself. If I still wanted to be with her, he wouldn’t propose to her. So, I booked a ticket back home and confronted her before their engagement ceremony. But do you know what she said to me?”
As he spoke, he smiled self-mockingly for a while before continuing, “She said it wouldn’t matter whether it was an ectopic pregnancy or not because she didn’t want the child. That contract, the one she signed with my brother pledging not to see me again—I was there when it happened. My brother asked her to choose between the Han Family and me. She chose the Han Family. Then my brother said, ‘Fine, I’ll help you keep the Han Family. Consider it my promise to your dying father. But you must agree never to show up in Annuo’s life again.’ She just looked at me indifferently and then nodded in agreement.”
After loving her for so many years, it couldn’t be possible to just stop loving her.
So now, when he thinks of Han Qianqian’s face, when he recalls Han Qianqian’s decisiveness, he still feels heartbroken and sad.

Shi Annuo closed his eyes and regained his composure. “I have to admit, I hated Han Qianqian at that time. The love I had was equal to the hate I felt. Why, no matter what I did, no matter how much effort I put in, was I always dispensable to her? Why couldn’t she trust in me, trust that I could keep the Han Family for her? Why did she have to choose my brother? I really didn’t understand back then, so I kept hating her. But hating someone turned out to be more exhausting than loving someone. Gradually, I didn’t want to hate her anymore. As the hate faded away, I knew the love was also diminishing.”
