Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 372: No way, who can withstand this?

"Fruits are sweet or sour; you’ll know once you taste them. You’re good or bad; I know that."

He met her when he was ten, and over a decade, they became the most important part of each other’s lives.

"We’ve never been apart for so long. In my memory, not seeing you for three months was the limit. But this time, you left me hanging for three years."

Nobody knows how he endured more than one thousand nights and days.

He couldn’t offer her a defense because the victim that was left behind was his mother.

He listened to others speculate her motives and comment on her character with the most malicious thoughts and words. He felt pain, anger, and helplessness.

He couldn’t protect her; he had no standing since he was one of those abandoned as well.

"Three years, our son is old enough to buy soy sauce, and only now you return. Guess how mad I really am."

Fu Shihan asked with all seriousness, Su Wanxin listened and lowered her eyelids.

He was possessive, and he didn’t like it even when she smiled at other men. The three months he mentioned were the months when Fu Group was aggressively expanding their business overseas, and she was busy with her university dissertation.

Both were as busy as dogs; they didn’t have the time for romance, not even enough time to eat, drink, or use the bathroom properly.

At that time, she was pregnant and didn’t dare to tell him when she found out. After he found out, she got reprimanded so severely she couldn’t even lift her head.

She had never been scolded like that in her life. With her emotions being unstable during pregnancy, she said nothing but cried, sobbing until she was coughing and gasping for breath, scaring him into carrying her and rushing to the hospital for a check-up.

...

Su Wanxin sighed and looked up to meet his gaze.

"I’ve found a therapist, and I’ll consult with him on how to undergo treatment to retrieve my lost memories."

"Zhong Xian?" They had eaten together before; he had watched outside the restaurant for over an hour.

"Mhm." Su Wanxin nodded. "No matter what, I owe Aunt Mo an explanation. If there’s a chance one day, take me back there again, I... I have some things I want to say to her."

Even if she didn’t want to see herself again, the apologies that should be made still needed to be said.

"Okay, I’ll take you back."

A smile finally appeared on Fu Shihan’s face, and Su Wanxin felt a bit mesmerized. Then, before her mind could react, her body had already shown goodwill.

The warmth of his lips brought her back to her senses instantly; she stiffened, realizing what she was doing.

Fu Shihan was also stunned by the kiss, and as she frantically tried to escape, he held her firmly in his arms.

"You..."

Fu Shihan spoke, his voice low and husky, uncomfortably dry and hard to be nonchalant.

He looked at Su Wanxin, eventually laughing at his own lack of self-control.

No, this was too much to handle.

"What do you mean."

Fu Shihan asked directly, looking into her eyes, Su Wanxin’s face flushed red, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Seeing her reaction made Fu Shihan want to be even more of a rogue.

"The situation progressed too fast, don’t remember what happened, don’t know what I said?" He gave her an out.

Su Wanxin nodded repeatedly, indicating he was right.

"Okay then, let’s recap and analyze it."

He did as he said, slightly lowered his head, and kissed her lips again.

It wasn’t an overly presumptuous kiss, but it didn’t end hastily like her quick peck from before.

He licked his lips with a sense of unfulfilled desire, restraining the agitation in a certain part of his body, and asked, "Do we need a second recap?"

Su Wanxin: "..."

Discussing such things with such seriousness, he really was the dregs of refined culture.
