"Don’t you hate me?"

Bai Haoxue looked at Ji Hanyu, and it took her a long time to ask this question.

He had endured years of hardship and the pain he had borne throughout these years.

The torment of life and death each time the virus struck, the agony of wishing he could just die each time...

So much, so much indeed.

Whether it was the psychological torment or the physical torment, he had endured and experienced a lot.

But it’s so ridiculous, so pathetic!

These were inflicted on him by her father, yes, her father.

Every time the virus attacked him, he wished he could hack the person who harmed him into pieces, skin him, and pull out his tendons.

If it were her, she would surely seek revenge.

She would repay everything doubly back.

But he found out so early, and he still continued to spoil and love her as before. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He actually... must be very conflicted too.

What a mess!

He fell in love with the daughter of his enemy, poured his heart and soul into her, cherished her like a jewel.

And the result?

At this moment, Bai Haoxue couldn’t even dare to look into Ji Hanyu’s eyes.

She felt so guilty...

A simple sorry couldn’t possibly express the guilt, self-blame, and heartache inside her.

The harm she had already done to Ji Hanyu was countless, and now, she found out.

Her father, her father too...

They truly are father and daughter!

Bai Haoxue couldn’t help but laugh at the thought, tears unknowingly flowing down her cheeks.

"Fool, why would I hate you?" Ji Hanyu kissed away Bai Haoxue’s tears.

"Mrs. Ji, are you from the Yuanmou people, or a cave dweller, or someone who traveled through time from the ancient past?" Ji Hanyu pinched Bai Haoxue’s little face, "Mrs. Ji, it is already the 21st century now, the law implicating nine generations has disappeared for centuries.

Your father is your father, you are you, can you not blame yourself for your father’s mistakes?

In my eyes, you are just Bai Haoxue, just my wife, Ji Hanyu’s wife, and that’s all you are."

"But..."

"No buts." Ji Hanyu interrupted Bai Haoxue, "You just need to remember that!

Other things are not worth troubling yourself over, don’t overthink.

Until the truth is uncovered, everything is just speculation, and all your negative emotions are nothing but a fool’s concern."

"Ji Hanyu..." Bai Haoxue suddenly threw herself into Ji Hanyu’s arms, holding him tightly.

"Ji Hanyu... do you know? You are so good that I can no longer, nor dare, to get angry at you justifiably.

When I found out you deceived me at Xiao Bei’s clinic today, I was extremely angry and felt wronged.

I imagined countless ways in my head to vent my anger and teach you a lesson once I got back.

But... but now, I suddenly find that in front of you, I can’t justify myself in anything I do anymore.

How can you be so good yet so bad? You leave me not knowing how to face you?

Clearly it’s my fault, my father’s fault, it’s my father who wronged you, it’s I who wronged you...

If you shouted at me, hit me, scolded me, or even hated me, my heart would feel much better."

Ji Hanyu gently patted Bai Haoxue’s back, kissed her forehead, "Mrs. Ji, although your husband, I, don’t have a perfect character, there’s one thing I can guarantee you—that is, your husband, I, absolutely have no violent tendencies."

[PS: Oh no, oh no, as I kept writing, I was touched by Mr. Ji...

Good night!]
