Chapter 1149 - 1155: Memories Awakening (Part 4)
"I’ve always imagined that there was actually another hidden truth behind my mother’s death back then, and it had nothing to do with your mother.""Brother..." An Ran called out to him again in shock.
She didn’t know what to say or how to explain things to her brother.
Because the truth was right there in front of them.
Because these photos reconstructed the events of that year so glaringly.
"You know, I’ve always been making excuses for you." Chi Cheng lifted his gaze, looking both soft and handsome.
He reached out his hand, cupping An Ran’s cheek, as their eyes collided.
Suddenly, An Ran felt terrified.
Terrified of the words he would say next. She wanted to escape, but her body felt as if it had been paralyzed, unable to move a muscle.
"I’ve imagined that as long as I could find proof, even if it wasn’t particularly convincing, as long as it proved you weren’t the daughter of the person who killed my mother, then I’d be able to let go of all the hatred, let go of my mother’s will, and be with you forever."
An Ran felt her throat constrict, unable to speak, but her eyes began to burn.
He released An Ran, his well-defined fingers picking up the photo of his mother jumping into the sea alone to commit suicide.
"I’ve found a hundred reasons to make excuses for you, but still I was defeated by reality." Chi Cheng laughed suddenly, low and indistinct, almost bitter, "All the mysteries have been solved, I can’t deceive myself anymore."
An Ran’s small hand slowly gripped her clothing, watching Chi Cheng’s cold lips open and close, "We should still separate."
Her breath caught.
An Ran’s blood started to reverse flow, her brain heated, but her hands and feet grew cold.
Brother said... separate.
What does separation mean?
Is it breaking up?
Does he... not want me anymore?
Tears suddenly formed into a drop the size of a bean and fell.
An Ran shook her head, desperately trying to grasp his hand, "I don’t want to, I don’t want to separate from you, can’t we not let go..."
Chi Cheng didn’t shake off her hand, letting her hold it, but his demeanor changed, "My purpose in returning to the country was solely for revenge. An Ran, I don’t want to continue this entanglement with you, our grudges end here."
An Ran felt her heart shatter.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, but couldn’t seem to wipe them away.
Unable to accept... Clearly in the morning, he had whispered into her ear, saying she was the girl he loved.
But now, he says he doesn’t want to continue this entanglement, we’re done.
An Ran cried until she was breathless, "It was my mother’s fault, I’m willing to use any means to make up for the mistakes of the past, but please don’t say those words."
Chi Cheng looked at An Ran, crying her heart out, then lowered his eyes silently and slowly stood up.
"Make up? A life lost, how can you make up for that?" Chi Cheng picked up his coat and car keys, turned and stood straight, "If I truly were with the daughter of the person who killed my mother, I would never forgive myself in this lifetime.
An Ran, you and I are destined to be two intersecting lines.
That brief intersection is not our eternal fate."
After the intersection, there’s a forever divergence.
"From now on, unless there’s something important, I won’t come back to this home."
Chi Cheng finished speaking and strode out resolutely.
