Chapter 660: Chapter 659 I Will Prove My Love to You (1)
Xiao Zhao couldn’t help but turn back to look at Shi Che and opened his mouth, "President Shi...."
But Shi Che seemed not to expect an answer from him; his lips parted and came together, speaking to himself, "I also know I’m a terrible husband. Ever since I saw Chuxia’s diary and learned that she married me, stayed by my side not because of love, but because of her elder sister. My confession to her became a joke, my feelings became a joke, and at that time, I was so angry, so unwilling, yet... I couldn’t bear to divorce her, because without the marriage, she would have no reason to stay with me, and I wouldn’t be able to keep her."
"But...."
When Shi Che said these two words, it was as if he thought of something, and he suddenly chuckled twice, his voice becoming even hoarser, "But when she was by my side, in front of my eyes, I couldn’t control myself from thinking about her motives. Her smiles at me, her pleasing me, her compliance, all became excuses for my anger. I made her feel aggrieved, embarrassed her, I was unrestrained, because I knew, she wouldn’t leave me."
"Then, I finally got my retribution."
The last sentence slowly spilled from his mouth, Shi Che leaned back weakly on the sofa, his lips curled, but the tears slipped slowly from the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Zhao stood there, quietly listening to Shi Che’s words, feeling as if a storm had risen in his chest. Over the years, he indeed knew that the relationship between Shi Che and Ling Chuxia wasn’t good, but he didn’t know the specific reasons. Now, he finally understood all the details, it turned out to be like this....
It all seemed a bit too much to take in. He stood stunned for a long time before he slowly came to his senses.
It was then he realized why President Shi personally selected gifts every time he went on a business trip, yet he never managed to give them.
It was then he knew why President Shi, after socializing, would always have Old Zhu drive the car back to the villa, but every time, he would just sit in the car, never getting out and entering the house, just silently looking in the direction of the bedroom on the second floor.
It was then he understood why President Shi, whenever he occasionally received a call from Miss Chuxia, would keep a composed expression, yet he couldn’t hide the laughter in his eyes, but after returning home, he would often storm out of the villa in the middle of the night.
So, it turns out that President Shi also harbored so much grievance, so much bitterness in his heart.
Despite his deep love, he couldn’t show it in front of the person he deeply loved, because her smile might be hiding poison, her gentleness also might be a fatal poison.
Tonight seemed unusually dark, and exceptionally quiet, only the gentle breeze blowing softly, stirring the curtains, dancing alone.
Xiao Zhao’s dark eyes gazed over, and he could vaguely see the glimmer in Shi Che’s eyes. His throat felt as if it were choked, and his chest felt as if it were being pressed down, causing unbearable discomfort.
Although Miss Chuxia indeed endured many grievances in those three years, wasn’t President Shi suffering too?
Time passed unknowingly, and Xiao Zhao who had been standing became a bit stiff. When he looked again, Shi Che’s eyes had closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
He slowly moved his stiff hands and feet, then turned around and tiptoed into the bedroom, took out a blanket, turned back, and gently covered Shi Che’s body.

Xiao Zhao had not been asleep for long when he faintly began to hear noise nearby.
