Chapter 516: 516, Mistake? What a good excuse!
As he said this, he grabbed Han Qianqian’s hand and walked past Song Qinghuan, intending to leave. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Fortunately, at that moment, Shi Yuhuan and Shi Annuo walked out of the elevator and managed to stop them successfully.
Seeing Shi Annuo, Han Qianqian’s face turned pale. The expression on her face chilled, and it seemed as if tiny flames were leaping in her eyes as anger took hold of her. She stepped back as if avoiding the plague and sought refuge behind Han Wen, reluctant to confront Shi Annuo directly.
“Qianqian.” Shi Annuo uttered her name softly, as if afraid of startling her.
Han Qianqian was clearly very angry, but she had to appear nonchalant. She hesitated, then said shakily, word by word, “Shi Annuo, I don’t blame you. We were just settling for each other from the beginning, I’ve always known that we’re not right for each other. Besides, I’ve never loved you, so being friends is perfect now.”
His heart throbbed painfully at her words, as Shi Annuo gasped for breath, “Qianqian, please allow me to explain.”
Han Qianqian scoffed, “Explain what? Are you brave enough to confirm that the child in that woman’s womb is not yours?”
Shi Annuo couldn’t confirm it. His face twisted in agony, after a long time, he struggled to utter, “I don’t know…”
These words, they were like a massive hand wrenching at Han Qianqian’s heart. Her eyes were suddenly filled with frost and scorn. “Don’t know? What do you mean you don’t know?”
“Qianqian, things are not as you think they are. That was… that was a mistake made in a moment of madness.” Shi Annuo tried to explain, choosing his words carefully.
He hoped that while explaining to Han Qianqian, she would also understand that he was innocent.
“Mistake? How convenient!” Han Qianqian’s laugh was as cold as ice.
Shi Annuo’s bloodshot eyes, he was on the verge of collapse: “It was more than a month ago. That night, after you rejected me, I went to a bar and drank too much…”
He was on the brink of breaking down, while Han Qianqian had already crumbled. She clenched her hands into fists, her fear-struck eyes were rimmed with red, her voice was trembling violently, “Shi Annuo, are you trying to put the blame on me?!”
“No!” Shi Annuo hastily denied.
“Get lost, your life is filthy. I don’t want to see you again!” Tears streamed down again. Han Qianqian felt like she could hear the sound of her own heart tearing apart.
“I’m sorry, Qianqian, this sort of mistake will never happen again!” said Shi Annuo, as he tried to reach out to grab Han Qianqian’s hand.
His attempt was angrily brushed away by Han Wen: “Don’t touch my daughter.”
His elderly face was distorted in anger, his eyes were frosty and ruthless as they glared at Shi Annuo.
During all this, Shi Yuhuan remained silent, his face expressionless, betraying no emotion.
“Dad! I really didn’t know anything at the time.” Shi Annuo looked pitifully at Han Wen.
Han Wen scoffed: “Regardless of whether you knew or not, it’s a fact that you slept with that woman. You should know that no one can force a man unless he is willing.”
His statement rendered Shi Annuo speechless.
“Uncle Han, can we talk privately?” Shi Yuhuan’s calm voice resonated at the right time.
Han Wen glanced at him, he had always considered Shi Yuhuan, the most outstanding among all youngsters of the Shi Family, would make the perfect son-in-law.
It was just unfortunate that while the flower might have wanted to stay, the stream couldn’t be stopped. The star-crossed lovers were destined to part ways…
