Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 472: Why Can’t I Like You?!

"Don’t worry about who I heard it from, you just need to tell me whether all of this is true or not."

Su Wanxin had thought it over for several days, and she felt that it would be more direct to ask Fu Shihan than anyone else.

If he approached her and tried to please her just to take revenge for his mother, then she had to say, his acting was indeed superb.

Su Wanxin met his gaze, waiting for his answer.

The tension and unease unconsciously revealed in her eyes were heart-wrenching.

If he really nodded and admitted that his mother’s leg was broken because of her, then what was she going to do?

Fu Shihan’s gaze turned stern as he spoke, "If I explain these things, would you consider being with me?"

"Don’t you threaten me."

"President Su, it is I who am speaking humbly now, the word ’threat’ really doesn’t apply to me."

Fu Shihan gave a bitter smile, let go of her, and sat down properly.

He couldn’t remember these things either; he couldn’t remember anything about her.

But fortunately, everyone around him remembered clearly, so wanting to know wasn’t difficult.

"Initially, when I brought you home, it was indeed because of that reason.

I heard that my grandmother knew an incredibly powerful Taoist, and that old man said I had a great disaster in my life that needed to be shielded, so... we found you."

Fu Shihan didn’t want to hide the truth.

Usually, one lie needs to be covered up with many more, and he didn’t want to tell her so many lies; he found it tiresome.

Every day, he was engaged in cunning battles with others outside; there weren’t many who could make him speak the truth, but she was one of them.

"I don’t remember exactly how old you were when you came to our house, but one thing I’m clear about, I never treated you as an amulet."

His tone was so firm that Su Wanxin could hear it, unable to help herself, she asked, "You’ve clearly forgotten the past, how can you be so sure you never used me?!"

"An amulet, once used, is to be discarded. Would I, someone like me, fall for a chess piece that I might throw away at any time?"

Some things don’t change, no matter how many years pass; Fu Shihan, no matter how shameless, wouldn’t consider using an innocent girl to shield himself and serve his purposes.

Moreover...

He had a child with her.

How foolish could he be to have a child with someone he didn’t like?

If he didn’t want the child, there was absolutely no way it would have come into the world.

"My mother’s injury is somewhat related to you, but it wasn’t you who hit her. During the car accident, both of you were in the car. I’m not clear about the details, but she said it has nothing to do with you."

The Fu Family doesn’t have the habit of not taking revenge, so if Li Mo said it wasn’t, then it definitely wasn’t.

Fu Shihan hadn’t planned to lay these matters out so soon with Su Wanxin, but since she asked, he had to answer. Otherwise, covering it up would only lead to more misunderstandings.

"Every day people call you President Su and Wan God, why do you think so little of yourself in private?"

Fu Shihan looked at her, feeling a bit helpless, anxious, and even a bit angry.

"In your opinion, is it impossible for me to fall for you?

Wan God, please, take a good look at yourself in the mirror. I’ve been looking at that face of yours for over a decade, why can’t I like it?!

There are so many people out there who like you, why can’t I? Am I blind or what?"

Su Wanxin: "..."

Su Wanxin: "You say that, but why the sudden flattery?"

Fu Shihan, exasperated, laughed, sighed, and lounged back on the sofa watching her, deep in thought: "Someday you’re going to be the death of me."
