Letting Loose After Marrying A Tycoon

Chapter 202: Everytime I Treat You Well, I Can’t Help It

Han Zhan had been kicked and punched before, but this was the first time he had been slapped.

Han Zhan slowly turned back and looked at Song Ci. Song Ci was so agitated that her face was red. Her right hand, which had hit Han Zhan, was still trembling. He was the one who had been hit, but Han Zhan’s heart ached for her.

Han Zhan tried to reach out to pinch Song Ci’s hand. Song Ci struggled but couldn’t break free. Han Zhan touched Song Ci’s reddened palm and looked down, covering the regret and guilt in his eyes. He asked Song Ci, “Baby Ci, is it very painful?”

Song Ci looked at her own hand and then at Han Zhan’s newly-formed left cheek, even breathing hurt.

“Han Zhan, the motive of our marriage was never pure. From the start, I needed your protection and used your identity to take revenge on Mu Mian. I used you, so of course you can also use me—this is very fair. But Han Zhan, can’t you be like me, using me openly? Must you be so despicable? Must you make me feel disgusted!”

When the word “disgusted” escaped from Song Ci’s lips, Han Zhan’s heart was in turmoil. He grabbed Song Ci’s wrist tightly and looked up at her, the whites of his gray-blue eyes bloodshot.

“Song Ci, let me finish.” Han Zhan sounded very anxious, afraid that Song Ci would leave him behind.

Song Ci suppressed the anger and resentment in her heart and struggled to maintain her calm. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Tell me. Tell me everything clearly.”

Han Zhan told Song Ci, “Initially, I brought you over from the Mu Family to cohabit with me because I had ulterior motives. But on the first day we cohabited, I accidentally broke your precious box and discovered that the buckle that you treated like a treasure for eight years was the same buckle that I lost at the disaster site. I realized then that you were the young lady whom I risked my life to save back then.”

“At that moment, I felt very ashamed of my dirty thoughts. At that time, I was thinking that I had personally saved this little girl from the gates of hell. How could I hurt her?”

Song Ci also remembered what Han Zhan said.

She remembered very clearly that in the garage downstairs, when Han Zhan was helping her take her things, he had accidentally dropped her precious wooden box on the floor. The buckle had fallen out and Song Ci was afraid that it would be broken. She hurriedly picked it up and held it for a long while, her heart still aching.

Song Ci’s ears felt slightly hot at the thought of how she would blow and stroke the pendant in front of the owner of the pendant.

She was both angry and frustrated.

Han Zhan told Song Ci again, “The day that I was truly attracted to you and decided to give up on using you to deal with my father was the day we registered our marriage.”

Song Ci tried to recall what happened that day, but she only remembered that they registered their marriage and went to the restaurant in Deep Alley for dinner. After dinner, they got into an argument for the first time because Han Zhan gave her a bank card.

Song Ci couldn’t remember anything else.

Han Zhan knew that Song Ci had forgotten, but he still remembered very clearly. As he recalled that day, he said, “On the way home after registering our marriage, we put on rings for each other, and you snatched my fake fingers over and personally put them on for me. At that time, you said...”

With Han Zhan’s reminder, Song Ci suddenly remembered everything and said, “Brother Han, from now on, you can only let me touch your right hand and your tie.” I seemed to have said this then.

Hearing Song Ci’s words, Han Zhan’s eyes lit up. “Yes! That’s exactly what you said!” Not a word more or less.

“You don’t know how moved I was the moment I heard those words. My heart started racing. I knew then that I was attracted to you. As we got along, I slowly fell for you...”

Han Zhan looked up at Song Ci and resigned to fate. “That frog that was cooked in warm water wasn’t you. It was me.” The person who started the fire ended up being the frog that jumped into the warm water.

“When I found out that Aaron had noticed you, I was really scared that day. It was also at that moment that I realized that I couldn’t push you into the fire pit my father had created. I was actually so scared that you would be hurt.”

“From the moment I decided to confess Aaron’s identity to you, I admitted defeat.”
