Chapter 847: You Really Disgust Me (7)
Jiayu and Mu Ke had lunch outside, then went to the place where they had agreed to meet Xin Ke.
It was a café they had visited before, and when Jiayu arrived, Xin Ke had not yet arrived.
She ordered a cup of milk for herself and an espresso for Xin Ke; within minutes, Xin Ke arrived.
Beside the suit, sunny and handsome.
He apologized to Jiayu in a gentlemanly manner, even though he wasn’t late, but letting a woman wait for him, according to courtesy, requires an apology.
Jiayu quietly looked at him, this was the man she had once deeply loved.
Always so gentlemanly and courteous, always making people feel as if in a spring breeze.
But now, Jiayu only wanted to see how filthy the soul hidden beneath his elite appearance really was?
When did she start to develop a "disgust" for Xin Ke?
Was it during his infidelity within marriage?
Was it when he repeatedly hurt her for another woman?
No, none of those.
She truly found him repulsive after the divorce, when he came looking for her.
Because he was frustrated with Su Wan, he sought comfort from her, because he found out some unpleasant things, he came to her pretending to be filled with regret.
And what made this "disgust" reach its peak was that slap in the hospital that day.
She had always thought the man she loved was merely blinded by love, which was why he misunderstood her so much, she always thought his indifference towards her was because of his deep affection for another woman.
She blamed him, but she really did not resent.
When it comes to love, it’s always like this, one’s beloved can do no wrong, while others, no matter how good, are wrong.
But that day, she realized that the man she once loved turned out to be so irresponsible, irrational, and unreliable.
The Xin Ke she once loved, who was immersed in the ocean of academia, had long since disappeared amid societal honing.
And now, he could even go so far for his purposes.
He was once so sunny, but now, so dark!
Thoughts flashed like lightning, a thousand emotions surged, but in reality, it was only a matter of seconds, Jiayu smiled slightly: "It’s okay, sit down."
The waiter came over and served Xin Ke the espresso, and Xin Ke paused in his movement, suddenly smiled: "I see you still remember."
Jiayu smiled without speaking, bowed her head and gently sipped from her cup of milk.
"Is your wound healed?"
"Hmm, much better."
Jiayu put down the milk cup, her gaze scrutinizing and quietly watching Xin Ke.
Actually, Jiayu’s eyes are very beautiful, because she doesn’t need glasses, her eyes are very bright, with upturned corners, possessing an indescribable alluring quality, but because she gives the impression of a sharp woman in the business world, people always overlook her allure.
And now, as Jiayu looked quietly at Xin Ke, her sharpness diminished and she appeared more feminine and gentle.
Xin Ke’s heart suddenly shrank.
He used to think that Su Wan was gentle as water, the way a wife should be, but he had never seriously looked at the woman before him, who turned out to be his former wife, a woman he once possessed, who could also have such a tender side.
Those eyes, bright as stars, made one want to hold her closely and take good care of her.
Perhaps after spending a long time with Mu Ke, being around that world-renowned psychologist, Jiayu also seems to have started to delve into psychology.
