After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1022 - 1026: Is it because of me?

As a man, he should have been by her side, no matter what happened, he should have been the one protecting her.

However, he let her go through five years alone, five years, over a thousand days and nights, she endured it all by herself.

He tightly held her in his arms, his voice filled with a sour emotion, "Luo Xiaoqian, you idiot!"

Beside them, Leng Zirui watched him, his brows furrowed. He understood his elder brother the best, and could most comprehend his feelings at this moment, filled with anger, guilt, and self-blame.

Noticing Leng Zirui, Leng Zimo slightly raised an eyebrow.

"You knew, didn’t you?!"

Leng Zirui shrugged his shoulders and nodded.

Leng Zimo released Luo Xiaoqian and carefully pulled her aside.

"Xiao Qian, step aside a little."

Luo Xiaoqian moved aside in confusion.

"She’s stupid, are you stupid too!"

Leng Zimo stepped towards Leng Zirui and raised a fist.

Leng Zirui understood his intention but didn’t dodge or avoid it, taking the punch directly.

Bam!

After the punch, Leng Zirui staggered back a few steps, blood flowing from his nose.

Leng Zimo didn’t stop, stepping forward, raising his hand to hit again.

"Zimo!" Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Leng Zimo’s swinging left arm, "Calm down, this isn’t Zirui’s fault."

"Don’t hold him back, let him hit me, or else he’ll go crazy!" Leng Zirui stood lazily on the spot, blood on his nose, a smile on his lips, "Besides, I really do deserve this beating!"

Making Luo Xiaoqian suffer so much for the Leng Family and for Leng Zimo, Leng Zirui naturally felt guilty and self-blaming too.

Now, he really wanted Leng Zimo to hit him, maybe then, his inner guilt would lessen a bit.

Luo Xiaoqian just held onto Leng Zimo’s arm tightly, "Zimo, it’s not his fault. He didn’t know either, I told him only after I left!"

Leng Zimo gritted his teeth and slowly withdrew his raised fist.

It was impossible for him not to be angry, he just couldn’t get angry at Luo Xiaoqian.

Leng Zirui clearly knew the inside story, having kept it from him for five years, just the thought made Leng Zimo furious.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he turned his head to look at Luo Xiaoqian, his voice turned incredibly gentle, "Why?!"

"This..." Luo Xiaoqian hesitated, unwilling to speak, "That matter... It’s already resolved, can’t you just stop asking?!"

If Leng Zimo knew that he was the reason she left, he would feel immensely guilty.

He already lost control of his emotions without knowing the reason, if he learned the truth, she really didn’t know how heartbroken he would be.

Leng Zimo looked at her face, then at Leng Zirui, his brows instantly knit into a frown.

"It’s because of me, isn’t it?!"

Luo Xiaoqian hung her head, saying nothing.

Leng Zimo felt as if he was struck by lightning. Although she didn’t say a word, it was equivalent to saying everything.

It was obvious, it was because of him, it was because of him that she left, and suffered five years of hardship.

"Really, it was because of me!"

Leng Zimo’s body swayed, his heart constricted to the point of breathlessness.

"Zimo?!" Luo Xiaoqian held his arm worriedly, "Calm down, it’s not your fault, truly not your fault."
